How do I disable auto-lock?

There is no option to turn this off, only 1-5 minutes for it to kick in. This feature was set by someone else, but now I have a separate phone for work purposes and need to turn this off.

If you have an Exchange account on your device, the administrators my have blocked that option. If you are no longer using the device for work, try removing your work email account.

How can I disable the lock code on my N8

Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?

Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
Hope this can help you.

Or auto launching the adobe photo downloader when you have a camera or camera card connected.

Automatically disable auto lock when connected to charging device?

Hello,
I am aware that you can disable auto-lock in the settings by selecting 'never.'
Is there a way the auto-lock feature can be disabled automatically when the iPod Touch is connected to a power source like a dock, car charger, etc?
It's a pain to have to change this setting each time I get into the car, and when I forget, it has the potential to become a safety issue. (Of course, I would never mess with my iPod settings while driving...)
Perhaps a 3rd party app that does this??
I've seen this question posted on various forums, but have never seen a good answer...

Hello Ats65,
Make the pairing again and make the device update with system update
Also check another Bluetooth keyboard if available.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

Disable auto lock

I have an iPad Air (1st Gen).
Running iOS 8.1.2
Using a passlock code (no Touch ID on these models).
When I try to disable the auto-lock feature, it only gives me options ranging from 1min to 15mins. The "Never" option isn't there.
How can I set it so that the screen does not auto-lock?
The reason I need it is because I have a video streaming app but unfortunately the app has a bug whereby when streaming a video the screen times out.

If you aren't getting the Settings > General > Auto-Lock > Never option then do you have an Exchange email account (e.g. a work email account) set up in the Mail app ? If you do then it's possible that the account administrator is preventing the 'never' option for security reasons (to stop work emails being read) - if you remove the email account you should get the 'never' option.

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 do I disable Auto Save?

As I compose an email Auto Save keeps frequent copies. They end up in Trash and make it difficult if I need to find something in Trash. How do I stop Auto Save?

This is a constant issue so I end up with hundreds of versions of saved email drafts. As I am typing an email it saves several times during the course of composing the email.

How can i set auto-lock to something longer than 5 minutes but less than never?

i'd like to set the auto-lock feature to more than 5 minutes but less than never.

That is not an option in Settings. Why would you want the screen to stay on that much longer? All it will do is contribute to shorter battery life and the chance that if your device is stolen that someone would be able to access your data.

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,
