How do I disable auto-brightness in my MAC?

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion (I skipped Lion), my Mac keeps auto ajdusting the brightness, like every second. The only thing that stops it is pointing it directly at the light bulb, up high. But then it stays at the lowest brightness of this adjustment (regardless of being in maximum, manually adjusting).
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hmmm.

What operating system are you using?
Unless your talking about the welcome screen that gives a choice of what to start when ckicking on the pse 3 shortcut (welcome screen, organizer or editor)
Window>Welcome in the editor or organizer
Or auto launching the adobe photo downloader when you have a camera or camera card connected.

How to turn on auto capitalization on my mac?

Hey guys,
I want to know how to turn on auto capitalization on my mac. Because this helps me to type faster in pages, keynote, etc.
Could y'all help me out?

because Apple has most of its products, phones tablets and software that start with small letters despite being proper nouns, in Apple's world it's normal to use small letters for proper nouns and start sentences with small letters.
you will have to get used to the shift button and get a bit slow on your typing. after some time you'll get used to it.
this does sound frustrating but i agree with other users that the fact that you are using an expensive Mac does not relegate you to inferior word processors. go ahead and install office for Mac and enjoy!

How do I disable auto-launch of third party applications (i.e. TeamViewer) at startup?

I've loaded a few third party applications like TeamViewer which installed themselves as startup applications which I cannot disable in the system preferences login items. The obvious answer is don't load these apps but that being said, how do I disable them now that they are loaded without uninstalling to prevent them from launching automatically during startup. I can quit them after they launch but I'd like to prevent them from auto-starting during startup. Any insight would be appreciated.

Look in TeamViewers preferences for this:
Uncheck it.

How to PERMANENTLY disable auto-run write trials of qttask.exe and outbound

I installed QuickTime player on my WinXP.
As I found out my firewall pops up frequently since then informing me that qttaks wants to write itself in the auto-start folder.
Furthermore I observed several internet connection attempts.
So QT want to call come to Moms server at apple?, eh?
This is nasty and really annoying similar to MS.
How can I disable both PERMANENTLY?
I did not found options for that.

It is probably trying to load the "Content Guide" and you can turn this off in the Player Preferences.

How can I disable auto-switching desktops?

I've long appreciated the spaces/mission control feature of OS X. However, it seems more oriented to organizing desktops by application rather than by project.
Like many users, I suspect, I use different desktops for different projects, each of which requires a variety of applications (finder, word docs, spreadsheets, etc). When I'm working on project 1 in desktop 1, I never want to be whisked away to desktop 2. In fact, I never want to be switched to a different desktop automatically. If I click on an application, I want it to open a new window for that application. If a new iteration of an app can't be opened (ie, Mail), I'd like it to pull Mail to me rather than send me off to it. Aren't apps supposed to come when we call, not the other way around?
I have unchecked "...switch to a space with open windows of that application" in System Prefences, but my desktop continues to auto-switch, especially with Finder.
In short: is there a way disable auto-switching entirely? I'd like to be able to assign windows and navigate manually without being constantly pulled away from the project I'm working on.
Thanks for the help; I really appreciate people spending their time helping others on forums like this one.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

How to deactivate/disable auto TO print-out for Storage bins and storage type in WH?

Is there a way to deactivate auto printing of TO for some storage bins ? If yes then can you please tell me step by step configuration?
If no then how can we deactivate auto TO printing for the Storage type ?

Hello Manu,
As I know it works entirely at storage type level, not storage bin level in WM. This is standard SAP default behavior.
It is standard behaviour that printing settings in the warehouse are generally based on storage types and movement types
Please check the user exits for transfer parameters.
in RLVSDR40 -> MWMD0001 : EXIT_RLVSDR40_001
Print transfer orders (TOs)
Check user exits MWMD0001 or MWMD0002, a detailed documentation via Transaction SMOD.
Best Regards,

How do I disable auto-recovery files from opening every time I open Photoshop?

Hi! I have read several forums about how to disable the auto-recovery feature. However, I don't want to disable the auto-recovery because I like that it saves my work in case of crash. It's just annoying that everytime I open photoshop all those previous files auto open. Is there anyway to make it stop? I read that there is a file that you delete, but will that stop the auto-recovery feature? Thanks in advance for your help!
Oh! It's Photoshop CS 6 and the os is Mountain Lion. Thanks!

On Windows, if Photoshop crashes, the autorecovery files are not cleared. On next launch, Photoshop sees those autorecovery files and reopens them.
When Photoshop closes successfully, it deletes these autorecovery files, and thus on the next launch no recovery files should be opened.
So if your files are continually opening, then Photoshop is in essence crashing every time you close it (assuming you are trying to close Photoshop each time).
May need to look at doing things like recreating the preference files or running Photoshop in a new user.

How do I disable auto complete in the Mail program?

I have to type e-mail in more than one language on my iPod Touch, and Mail's auto complete feature is causing me a lot of trouble. It's making ridiculous word suggestions and typing these words if I don't touch a teeny-tiny X in the auto complete tag. The X is so small that often as not my finger ends up confirming the suggestion, rather than deleting it.
For example, if I have to type the German word "kann" (which I very often have to, because it means "can"), the Mail program types in the name of the Indian language "Kannada", which I NEVER need.
One solution would be to switch the language settings before typing e-mails, but that takes too much time, and the iPod Touch doesn't have support for some of the languages I have to type.
How can I just disable that auto complete feature? I don't see it in the manual.

Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Auto-Correction -> OFF.
But this is a global setting, not just for the Mail app.
