How do I disable the animation between switching Desktops in OS X ?

I find the usage of Desktops are real advantage when working on my new Macbook Pro.
What is frustrating is the animation when changing between desktops. How do I disable it?
For clarification: I use ctrl + left/right arrow to move between Desktops.

I'm not sure how comfortable you are with the command line, but there is an option for you in the "zip" command line tool. Unfortunately, the version of zip installed with 10.4.7 does not seem to support the encryption option. Fortunately, you can build and install the latest version which does support this option.
If you're still interested in this path then follow this link for instructions:

  • How do I disable the cube effect when switching between accounts?

    Hello, I have a friend who wants to turn off the animated cube effect that happens when they switch between theirs and their wife's accounts. After a lot of googling I am not having much luck finding out how to do it. Does anyone here know?
    Interestingly, you can see what a difference it makes by loading "Quartz Debug" and unchecking "Enable Quartz Extreme" - makes fast user switching really fast! But I don't want to permanently disable Quartz Extreme, I just want to turn off this one animation.

    You can't disable the animation, as it is a part of the system/account controller as far as I know.

  • How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

    How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
    I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
    I sure would like to decide about that myself.
    Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

    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.

  • How can I disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf in sdk

    Hi,
    in asc2.0 we need 'fontswf' script to embed fonts instead of use .as file directly.
    but here is a problem
    I cannt disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf ?
    because I have found an issue when I set advancedAntiAliasing is true, then the textfield (which font is embeded) antiAliasType doesn't work even type is advanced. I need set advancedAntiAliasing is false (in asc1.0 you can set it by .as file)
    now i just set the sharpness and thickness to workaround in used asc2.0
    but i think that is not great.
    so how can I disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf  or any other solution?
    thanks
    hbb

    Hello -
    That setting is not fully supported.  You can explicitly call it like this:
    ./compc -include-sources  ../samples/test/Main.as -output ../samples/test/Main.swf -advanced-anti-aliasing=true/false
    So, that is the compiler option that you want to use in order to disable it.  The example I show you here uses the command line tool but it is a valid switch via Flash Builder as well

  • How do I set the transition between access points would be fine?

    Hello everyone,
    We have an organization Wirless controller 2504 with 20 aironet access-point (700 series)
    Once I defined  all the access points I noticed that the transition between them is not working fine...
    I mean that clients can not walk around in our organization without having to connect to any access point separately.
    How do I set the transition between access points would be fine?
    Thanks a lot (:

    HI Omri,
    which software version you have on WLC ?
    Is the site survey done propely ?
    Remember: It is the client that decides when to roam and which AP to connect to based on what it perceives the signal to be.
    If your site survey design is perfect and still have problems while roaming then:
    Disable your lower data rates on the 2.4ghz and or 5ghz radio and your clients will roam better. Try to disable everything below 11mbps. and give that a try.May be old device will work in this case.
    Regards

  • How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5?

    How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5? I am trying to use the clone stamp and I am not able to get a sample because of this popup menu.

    LOL,  I can't even begin to complain with the number if times I misread questions, and then try to break my own record for the number of typos in a single post.
    The image above was taken on a photgraphic weekend where the group (of all young ladies ) I was travelling with, set us a photography challenge.  The one above was my response to a 'faceless portrait'.  The only other one I attempted was this response for a picture of a 'wild animal', featuring camera club president Liz.
    Oh what fun we had, laughing and laughing until our faces fell off.
    [EDIT]  Both taken at Karamea, which some visitors to NZ might recognise as the western end of the Heaphy Track.

  • How can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

    how can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

    For txt messages you can change the option of whether previews are shown (Settings >> Messages >> Show Preview Toggle). Switching this "Off" will still show a notification of a missed txt message, but it will not show text from the message itself.
    Unfortunately, similar functionality does not currently exist for phone calls; however, the new iOS release (scheduled for September, I think rumor has it) will revamp the way notifications are handled, and there maybe an elegant solution for you then.

  • HT4356 How do I disable the ability to print from an iPad?

    How do I disable the ability to print from an iPad?

    I have the Apple Configurator. If it has the ability to block printing from an iPad, I was not able to find it. I might check out the windows version. Do you know if the windows woek on iPads (It is called Apple iPhone Configurator)?
    1) Apple never renamed "Apple iPhone Configurator" after the iPad come out.  Name should be something like Apple iOS Configurator.  Apple iPhone Configurator will work with the iPad.
    2) Doubt there is a functional difference between the Mac & Windows versions.
    3) Check with iOS 6.  Some resrictions have changed.

    Nope, that doesn't actually do the trick.  It might keep i messages from going to your i phone but still won't allow them to go to your new device. 

  • How can I disable the memory sharing with the video?

    how can I disable the memory sharing with the graphic card? it makes me impossible to run a software, grandMA2, on windows 7 installed and run via bootcamp. where should I look for changing the preferences of memory and video, on lion or on windows7? thank you

    so what do you think. I run a software on windows 7 running via bootcamp on my mbp, but I can't open it. the software is compatible with windows 7 on mac. I tried opening it as administrator or changing the compatibility options, like running it as windows xp, and changing the resolution of the video. it can't build the window and then it crashes. on internet I found a compatibility list of the software where it says please do not use any shared memory for the graphic card. what does it mean? I have just to remove the check in automatic graphics switching? what should I try to do? thank you. 

  • How can i disable the internal speakers without voiding the warranty?

    The students here annoy other students trying to study, I have made an extension for the headphone so that it is mounted under the monitor, facing the front and hot glued the headphone jack to the back, but the students ripped out the extension and threw it away so that they could play very awful music and annoy everyone.
    How can I disable the internal speakers on our imacs without voiding warranty? There has to be a way!
    Thanks-

    Have you considered corporal punishment? One instructor I had in high school, when he had detention duty, played classical music an operas all during detention. He was quite "evil". He would have some slow "sleepy" music going for a bit, then it would throw in something to wake every one up like the 1812 Overture or something, and repeat this a few times...and have the music loud enough to prevent talking. Many detention-ees thought that was "cruel and unusual punishment." (LOL)
    But to your question. Since opening the case would normally void the warranty (unless you can find a empathetic Apple technician), what I would suggest is a "sleeve". Imagine some sheet metal and form it into a rectangular tube. The tube would closely follow the shape of the iMac covering all the cable ports. Then bolt the tube and iMac to the table. (Or at the very least, bolt the tube to the iMac.) Basically, make it so that there little room between the tube and iMac, that no one could access the ports without removing the tube. You'll also need to secure the cables to the tube so that no one can just pull out the cables, yet leave enough slack to allow for removal of the tube for maintenance. Even if the metal is not a full tube, but the Mac and metal is bolted to the table in such a way as to prevent access to the ports could be sufficient deterrent. If metal is not possible, then perhaps plastic or wood.
    I realize that is requires some work, and there is a drawback as pranksters could start dropping stuff inside the tube. Perhaps just have a clear plastic "wall" preventing all physical access to the Mac. Only a USB extension cable for the keyboard/mouse. Use Remote Disk sharing to mount CDs, if necessary.
    Some thoughts, anyway. Good luck!

  • How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?

    Someone else posted ths question a month ago, but still no answers.  Anyone?
    How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?
    Windows XP, SP3 operating system recently re-installed so I also reinstalled my printer software.  Now, for some reason, each time I turn my computer on, my HP Photosmart C4100 all-in-one photosmart premier software opens.  It is not in my startup.  This slows down my computer terribly, which is why I never used the program before my re-install.  How can I disable this feature?  I only print, I don't use it for photos.
    Any help here is appreciated.

    Run msconfig.exe from the start button (type in msconfig).  When it comes up go to the Startup tab and find and deselect the HP product you do not want to start.  Save and reboot computer.  Now try.
