How do I keep columns from adding to a custom spreadsheet when I'm tabbing after adding info into each column?
I'm trying Numbers for 30 days and haven't been able to find out how to stop Numbers from adding additional columns to a custom spreadsheet I've created as I'm entering data in each cell and tabbing to the next. I want only a fixed number of columns across.
Actually, it works both ways.
If you press tab once after entering data in the last column, that confirms the entry and leaves the same cell selected. If you press tab a second time, Numbers adds a column to the table and moves the selection to the (new) cell to the right.
There's no way to turn that feature off.
But if you press return, either to confirm the entry in the last column, or as the second press (when you forget and press tab-once), Numbers will confirm the entry and move the selection to the cell below the one where you started data entry in the previous line:
This started out as an empty table with four columns. The keystrokes that led to what's shown were:
d, a, t, a ,tab,d, a, t, a , tab,d, a, t, a , tab, tab (column E added), d, a, t, a , tab,return (selection moved to B3)

I purchase movies from Apple TV and from my iPad. I don't want them to automataically download to my computer because I have limited space on my hard drive. I see in preferences you can choose to automatically download music, books and apps (or not). I can't find a way to stop movies from automatically downloading.
As A. Hanwell says... However you should still be downloading your purchases at some point for local backups. iTunes in the Cloud is not a backup service, and if the copyright owners of the content choose to remove it from the iTunes Store it will disappear from your purchase history and you will no longer have access to it. The only solution is to backup your purchases locally.

How do I keep Microsoft from adding things to my computer. I have automatic updates off (because one of their updates caused my computer to crash), but recently they placed an add-on for Firefox that required much time to remove, and they also added something else that caused Outlook to not work. I don't know what else they might have added that I know nothing about.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== The crash was a few years ago, the other two events were within the last couple of months.In terms of the Firefox add-ons, see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/.NET+Framework+Assistant
For MS installing things that are not part of Firefox, I think you're better off asking in a Windows forum. -
How do I keep iTunes from moving files when I add them to my library?
I use a site where artists give away their songs via torrent, so I like to seed as much as possible. But recently when I've added files, they're removed from their original folder and moved to a more generic "music" folder. How can I keep iTunes from doing this, so that my uploads aren't interrupted?
In iTunes, go to Edit > Preferenes > Advanced, and make sure that "Keep..." and "Copy..." are both unchecked.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
Thanks for any suggestions.I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following: Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date. This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames. -
i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine
Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly: File>Transfer Purchases , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions? I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).
Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?
Hello - Not everyone lives in Silicon Valley or New York City. I have a relatively slow internet connection so it takes about 2 hours to download a 45-minute tv episode. Yesterday I did that, and today I went to watch it and it had been put back in the cloud! "No problem," says Apple, "You can download it again." It takes f**** 2 hours to download it again. How can I keep Itunes from putting things I've already downloaded back into the cloud?

You don't. They are in the cloud as soon as you make a purchase. As in immediately/right now. They don't get uploaded from yoru computer to the cloud.

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?
Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S. -
How do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring purchases from my iPhone?
Well, earlier in the year I had a Hard Drive failure. After having it fixed not all my files where on my Mac, including my iTunes media. So I connect my iPhone and it asks me if I want to transfer purchases? I click yes, the transfer wnet fine but some old media transferd too. I didn't want it so I simply deleted it. But when I plug my iPhone in now, it automatically says transfering purchases from Alex's iPhone. I then clicked on the "X" to cancel the task. But how do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring the old material?
iTunes/Preferences/Devices - Select "Prevent iPods, iPhone, iPads from syncing automatically."

How do I keep iTuunes from splitting up 1 album into multiple albums
I have a number of albums where the main artist is perfroming with other muscians listed with the title of the song. When I import these albums into iTunes, it takes one album and splits it up into 10-12 different albums; 1 album for each song. How do I keep iTumnes from segregating songs that are really all part of one album? I don't want to to edit each song to remove the second artist, in order to re-integrate the songs back into one album. What a pain. Help.
Thanks,
Olyduck
PS: I never did encounter this issue when using Windows Media Player.The sort fields control where in a sorted list a given value appears, e.g. you can ensure that David Bowie is sorted under B instead of D by setting the sort artist, sort album artist and sort composer to "Bowie" or "Bowie, David" where relevant. Experience suggests however that you shouldn't try to fix multiple album listings by giving different values the same sort value. It may sometimes work in iTunes, only to fail when you put those tracks on a portable device or add another album by the same artist.

I forgot to mention that I have 1000 messages checked and alert me before deleting messages. Is there some magic time that flagged messages disappear in to cyberspace ?
Someone told me on an e-mail that she puts flagged messages in a folder. I can find nothing in the iPhone
manual about doing this, or even making a folder for messages. Can someone enlighten me ?
Thanks a bunch ! carolyn
