How can I turn off the blobs that keep popping up with underlined or otherwise marked words or expressions in text or menue.

Looking at web pages some key words are underlined or marked. Moving the cursor across them brings out a flag with directions to ask what it is. It is very annoying and I spend more time trying to get rid of them than enjoying the reading. This was not there several years ago but has become increasingly frequent. How can I turn this OFF. I am not a computer expert.

Are you perhaps using Google Calendar as your main calendar service? There is an option in Google Calendar to have text alerts sent to your phone for events. Log into Google Calendar on your computer and disable that feature.
If you're using a different calendar service, see if they have a similar set up.

    Is there some method to turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake, so I can remote connect to it?

    Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

    Anytime I print, a URL appears at the bottom of the page. How do I turn this off?

    It's not something that you turn off, there isn't a setting for it, you will just have to try to avoid touching the top part of the screen. Apart from that you can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • How can I turn off the feature that, when I move my pointer over a headline, the headline pops up again as a seperate reader?

    Go to any website that has a link to a story. When I move the cursor over the link to the story a second version (read) also pops up. Why would somebody need to read the link twice in the exact same spot and why does it read over the original link I am trying to read?

  • How can I turn off the images of avatars that post...

    how can I turn off the images of avatars that post in this forum? they are annoying.

    I think the avatar pictures help a lot to visually tell apart the different users participating. Pictures are way quicker to discern than user names are.
    Do you want them removed because they distract you or you find certain ones disturbing (You can easily flag those to the moderation team)?

  • How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

    Dear Colleagues,
    I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
    My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
    The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
    Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
    Now we need to develop our own security module.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
    2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
    At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

  • How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

    Howdy,
    I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
    See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference.  Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps
