How can I turn on/off Desktop Volume label displaying disc size?

I upgraded to Leonard 10/26. A few days ago, I noticed that the icons on my desktop were displaying disc space. I don't know what action caused this to occur, hence Ido not know how to disable it. It is a little annoying in that it specifies "nnn.n Gb free" except the amount displayed is the size of the volume, not the free space.
I've search the web and a number of forums, but can't find any topic dealing with this.
Any thoughts?

  • In Yosemite, I can;t operate for more than a few minutes with Keychain or Safari asking for my login password.  How can I turn this off, and still be safe?

    Using Yosemite, I an't seem to work for more than a few minutes without being asked for my login password.  Keychain wants it, Safari wants it, iCloud wants it..the list goes on.  Then in 10 minutes or so, they all want it again.  Passwords are being stored by Safari as usual, but new tabs or pages bring up the request.  How can I turn this off and still have protection?

    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

    In some countries there are currently only free books available - Apple can sell books where the publishers have granted them licenses to do so (what you can buy where). Do you have access to other ebook apps/stores ?

  • The 'preview' is interfering in our playing online games ... how can we turn it off ???

    Hi
    Uploaded the Firefox toolbar from my Photobucket account earlier today. We have been having trouble with our Internet Explorer for a while and my son prefers Firefox, so I thought I'd give it a try.
    My fiance' and I play DAILY on goldtoken.com ... a board game site with Scrabble, backgammon, and many many other games. Firefox has a 'preview' that sends us into another screen for a 'preview' of our play ... in head to head tournaments that have 2 minute time limits on turns, this causes a lot of problems ... in regular games ... it is still a great nuisance ... HOW DO WE TURN IT OFF ???
    Blessings and many thanks
    Lace

    I didn't think you could disable that as it's required by law

  • Anytime I move my mouse my current window disappears. I move the mouse to the top left corner and then I comes back. How can I turn this off?

    Anytime I move my mouse my current window that is open disappears. When I move my mouse to the top left corner it comes back. How do I turn this off? It's not a Zoom issue, it disappears completely. Help please.

    Are you running 10.6 Snow Leopard as your profile indicates?
    If so, it sounds like maybe an Expose or Active Screen Corners issue?
    Go to Apple > System Preferences > Expose & Spaces > Expose and
    1. experment with the Active Screen Corners selections
    2. take a look at your F key settings for Expose
    3. lastly check your Dashboard settings

  • Iphone unresponsive - how can I turn it off?

    Second time now my iphone touchscreen has become completely inactive. I can't turn it off even to reboot it.
    Any suggestions?

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
