How do I disable iPad2-Backup?
Especially when having stored lot's of appss/music the automatic backup is most annoying.
How can it be disabled?

You can't disable it, but you can stop it. Just click on the little x there in the iTunes status window and the sync will move on to the next step in the process.

Now using Cloud to backup my contact - how do I disable/remove backup assistant plus

My wifes phone was setup to use backup assistance plus. I set it up to use Cloud -but it is still backing up with BAS. - how do I remove it? G

You can't completely remove it. However you can default the choice in your 'My Accounts' selection in the Settings menu.
However, I tend to use both due to my free cloud storage is already full and the BAP still is able to back up my contacts.

Backup Assistant Plus simply doesn't work, how do I disable it?

I have a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S III and when I set up my contacts, I added them as "Phone" entries with the expectation that the Backup Assistant Plus app would allow me to back them up. Except that it doesn't and, from what I've seen online, it is a miserable piece of junk that simply doesn't work for many people.
Soooo....
I sent all my contacts as a big V-card to my Gmail account, sorted things out in Gmail, unjoined them all on the phone, and deleted the Phone entries. Now I only have Gmail contact entries and they synch with no issues.
My only question now is, how do I disable/stop Backup Assistant Plus so that it doesn't constantly give me notifications about how incapable it is? I've tried clearing it's data and forcing it to stop. But it comes back from the dead, like a demonic zombie! It appears the only thing the app can do is resurrect it itself for the sole purpose of notifying me that it will fail to do anything useful.
Any and all help with this issue is greatly appreciated.

Your instructions above DO NOT WORK, under Manage Applications I get "Uninstall updates" - I cannot uninstall it. It is a "system application" and I am locked out of that control. GRRRR. Clear data does not do anything for performance.
Even when on wifi, this app's backup of data is slower than TAR in January. Biggest issue is the
The reason the steps to uninstall the app didn't work is because the DROID 3 is running Gingerbread (Android 2.3). The instructions above were for the Samsung Galaxy S III running either ICS (Android 4.0) or Jelly Bean (Android 4.1).
You can however "Clear the Data" for the app and from that point never use the app. The phone will learn to not load it into the RAM in case you ever use it.

How to permanently disable local TimeMachine backups?

Hi,
I have disabled the local TimeMachine using:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
That all works fine but after a reboot, the local backups are back again. For some reason this setting doesn't survives a reboot.
Can nayone give me some advise on how to permanently disable local TimeMachine backups?
Dennis

Here's how I permanently disable TM local snapshots:
1. create ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.wfiveash.disable_tmlsnaps.plist containing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.wfiveash.disable_tmlsnaps</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Users/willf/bin/disable_tmlsnaps.ksh</string>
    </array>
    <key>WatchPaths</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist</string>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>
2. create a shell script ~/bin/disable_tmlsnaps.ksh:
#!/bin/ksh -p
# This script is supposed to be run via launchd (see
# ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.wfiveash.disable_tmlsnaps.plist) when launchd
# detects a change to the TimeMachine.plist file. This script will determine
# if TM local snapshots has been enabled via the MobileBackups property and if
# it has it will run the setuid disable_tmlsnaps binary.
# prevent launchd throttling respawn warning, must wait 10s before this script exits
sleep 10
integer lsnaps=-1
lsnaps=$(defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist MobileBackups)
if [[ $lsnaps -eq 1 ]]
then
    exec "${HOME}/bin/i386/disable_tmlsnaps"
elif [[ $lsnaps -eq -1 ]]
then
    # there was an error running defaults
    exit 1
else
    exit 0
fi
3. Lastly compiled this C program and named it ~/bin/i386/disable_tmlsnaps. I set the permissions so it was owned by root and setuid:
* To build: gcc -o disable_tmlsnaps disable_tmlsnaps.c
* sudo chown root:wheel disable_tmlsnaps
* sudo chmod u+s disable_tmlsnaps
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
    int rc;
    rc = setuid(0);
    if (rc == 0)
        rc = system("/usr/bin/tmutil disablelocal");
    return rc;
=================================================================
Now when /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist is modified (which happens when TM is enabled or disabled) launched will run my disable_tmlsnaps.ksh script which will check to see if it needs to disable TM local snapshots.

How to disable automated backup

I created a database a few weeks ago with dbca and must have told the wizard I wanted to do automatic backups. I see them running at 2am every morning. Where does that job run from and how do I disable it? I want to use my own backup script instead.
DB version - 11.2 RAC 2 node cluster
Platform - Windows Server 2008 R2
I've checked DBA_JOBS, DBMS_SCHEDULER_JOBS and Windows Task Scheduler and can't find any trace of this job.
TIA

Well you can do this
Disables all AUTOTASK functionality.
DBMS_AUTO_TASK_ADMIN.DISABLE;
DBMS_AUTO_TASK_ADMIN.DISABLE (
client_name IN VARCHAR2,
operation IN VARCHAR2,
window_name IN VARCHAR2);
client_name
Name of the client, as found in DBA_AUTOTASK_CLIENT View
operation
Name of the operation as specified in DBA_AUTOTASK_OPERATION View
window_name
Optional name of the window in which client is to be disabled
Usage Notes
If operation and window_name are both NULL, the client is disabled.
If operation is not NULL, window_name is ignored and the operation is disabled
If operation is NULL and window_name is not NULL, the client is disabled in the specified window.
- i think this will give you an idea of what is running on auto .

How can I disable the tabs in safari on the ipad2

How can I disable the tabs on safari on my ipad2. I hate the tabs!!!

You can't, Safari on iOS 5 on the iPad uses tabbed browsing. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update we'll get the choice of tabs or thumbnail/paged browsing : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
In the meantime I think that the (free) Opera browser and the iCab Mobile browser in the app store offer thumbnail browsing to some degree.

How to disable scheduled backups?

I'd like to disable scheduled backups because my Norton antivirus software cannot be copied and I must be present for the first 20 minutes of backup to choose "skip" for each of about 20 Norton files. This occurs even though I tried to exclude files having *Norton* in their names, and even when I turn off Norton software before backup. I'm running ThinkCentre M55, 8811-CTO, with Windows XP Pro. I've removed backup from the XP "Scheduled Tasks" manager, and in "Config AwayManager tasks", Backup using R&R is not checked. In R&R, "Set Schedule, Schedule your Backups" is not checked. Despite these settings, once a day every day I continue to get the "backup cannot copy the ....(Norton)...file" window. I tried allowing one scheduled backup to run to completion, hoping that if I did this, R&R would no longer run auto backups. But it didn't work. How can I stop R&R from running auto backups? I'd prefer to run manual backups at my convenience.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you can't disable scheduled backups (under Set Schedule etc.), check under Scheduled Tasks (XP) or the
equivalent for your OS and see if anything labelled R&R is set to run, if so disable it.
In R&R you can exclude entire directories and directory trees from being backed up,
this should be better than trying to filter on file names.
Advanced - Exclude Files.
What I did is to set up excluded directories, but thereafter I run R&R from a batch file in command line mode.
This is documented in a manual that can be downloaded from Lenovo.
Before I start it I stop internet access, and shut down anti-virus (Kaspersky in my case), and verify that all anti-virus processes
have stopped using Process Explorer (a free download from Microsoft). I also manually stop Google Desktop,
Google notifier, in general everything that seems like it might interfere.
Since I started following this procedure I no longer have any issues.
You can also add a batch file command to shut down the computer after the backup,
which is desirable.
Here's most of my batch file:
echo Perform full backup
echo Delete old backup on USB drive
"c:\program files\lenovo\rescue and recovery\rrcmd" delete location=U silent
rem above deletes the old backup on the USB drive
echo Create base backup on USB drive
"c:\program files\lenovo\rescue and recovery\rrcmd" backup location=U name=base silent
rem above backs up to USB
echo Shutdown
computershutdown -s -f

How do I disable the welcome screen in iCloud

This may seem like a simple question but every time I attempt to access my iCloud account, I get the Welcome screen asking me if I want to activate Find Your device (whatever device I'm using) and if I want to activate Find my Friends (NO) etc. Half the time I don't even know what the correct address is for iPad and get all kinds of other websites and I just give up. Now I'm in a CRITICAL SITUATION in which I've gotten a Time Machine message that my WD Drive is no longer backing up and must be reformatted immediatly - YIKES! As you all can see I am very frustrated - I am still in the process of restoring data I lost from a hard drive failure in JUNE 2011 LOL How do I disable the Welcome screen in iCloud? What exactly is the correct web address? Sounds like a question for Watson. I know others have had a similar problem with WD external drives; can I recover enough data to get me back up and running? All my Time Machine back ups are on that drive. Awhile ago I bought Carbon Copy; it is apparently not functioning as it should (again back up on that drive) because I did the upgrade prior to getting the data off the WD drive, it installed a Trial Carbon Copy and is now asking me to reinstall what is sees as new software thus the last disc image is "lost. HELP PLEASE

Where are you trying to access your iCloud account, and from what device?
If you are trying to access your iCloud account at http://www.icloud.com/ from an iOS device, you can't. The iCloud.com website is not designed to be accessed from iOS devices - access it on your Mac.
Your Time Machine and WD external backups and Carbon Copy backups are nothing to do with iCloud, so I don't know what you think accessing iCloud will achieve in your situation anyay.

how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.
I purchased a 1 TB WD passport drive, formatted for Mac. I set it up originally (mistakenly) to backup time machine. I went back and set it to "do not backup" It still backs up evey document I edit. If I add a document when the drive is disconnected, it automatically adds it to the external drive the next time connect to the passport drive. If I remove a document the same thing happens.
I need additional storage to free up space on my laptop hard drive. This is not working the way I want it to. Help!

Do not backup your startup volume to another partition on the same drive. If the drive fails you have nothing. Always backup to another drive or volume on another drive.
The I/O error usually means there's a problem with the drive. Clone ASAP, then repartition and reformat the main drive. Then restore the clone. Here's the basic process:
You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive.
Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the external one.
Boot from the external hard drive.
Erase the internal hard drive.
Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
Clone the internal drive to the external drive
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After startup do the following:
Erase internal hard drive
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Do not quit Disk Utility.
Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.
