How do I reset the automatic log-in?

Originally my MacBook would remain on-line until I decided to log off. Now it automatically logs off after a short period of time (~15 minutes) and I need to log on again to get the Internet up and running. This is messing up my downloading as some files require over an hour to download and I do not want to babysit the computer to keep it logged on. What have I done and can I undo it?

Is the user logging out or is the internet disconnecting after 15 minutes?
If the user is logging out go to System Preferences > Security and there is an option to log-out after a specified time period inactive, uncheck that box.

I accidentally set my Downloads to automatically open the files, and now it doesn't save them at all, except in my temporary files. How do I reset the Automatic Download setting?

I remember back in Firefox 3.6 you could go into about:config and reset the automatic setting for downloads, but that particular option has either been renamed or isn't there anymore.

Go to the Firefox/'''Tools''' menu, click on '''Options''' and go to the''' Applications''' panel where you can change the action for different content types, to "Save File" or "Always ask" instead of opening the file in a particular application or plugin. See [[Managing file types]].

I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the defaul for opening a project?

I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the default for opening a project?

For Premiere Elements 11 and 12, you cannot change its default project preset from NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or its PAL counterpart PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 to something else.
For each project, you can set the project preset manually if you do not want the program to take over setting the project preset based
on the properties of the first drag to the Timeline.
To set the project preset manually, open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, change the project preset. Before you exit that area, be sure to have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in the new project dialog.
Then you import your source media, using the appropriate Add Media choice.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
If you want a version of Premiere Elements that uses the default project preset of NTSC DV Standard or its PAL counterpart PAL DV Standard, then you need to look to a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.
Please let me know if you have any further questions on this or need clarification.
Thank you.

How do I reset the e-printer's web embedded server network password?

I have an HP Photosmart 7520 e-all in one. I use Windows 7. I could tried to set a password in the EWS network tab. I could not change the user name so it remains "admin". I set the passwork and it seemed ok. But when I tried to log on again, it would not let me in. How do I reset the network password?

I recommend that you run "Restore Network Defaults" from the front panel and then run the wireless setup wizard again. This will wipe out all your network settings.

ICloud accidentally set-up with erroneous email acct. How do I reset the email originally used to start the Apple ID? I'm stuck in a loop...

Hi Apple friends! Here's my frustrating situation. When I got the new computer (2012 Macbook Pro), I tried to set up iCloud but accidentally input an erroneous email acct. I cannot access iClod because the email was accidentally input as "[email protected]", not "[email protected]". How do I reset the email originally used to start the Apple ID? I'm stuck in a loop, and not only cannot use iCloud, but I keep getting messages popping up to register my iCloud with a non-existent email...
Help?
Sincerely,
Cole

Have you tried to go into System Preferences > iCloud and entering the correct information there? You will first have to "sign out" of the wrong account and then log in with the correct information.
If that does not work you should direct follow up to the iCloud for Mac forum.

My original Apple ID is associated with an email address that I no longer have access to. How do I reset the system to recognize my new email address as my primary point of contact and erase the other one?

If when you go to icloud.com and sign in with your current iCloud ID you see all your iCloud data there, you can safely sign out of the iCloud account on your Mac and choose Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the current ID. This only deletes the data from your Mac, not from iCloud. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in after a brief delay as it redownloads. If you have automatically imported your photo stream photos to your iPhoto library you won't lose them either (if you haven't, save them to your library first).
Again, only do this if when you go to icloud.com with your current ID you see your iCloud data there.

How do I reset the included calendar on iphone 4s.

How do I reset the included calendar on iphone 4s. It currently shows the date as Jan 1, 2513BE, and since it is an "included app" do not know how to delete it and reinstall.

You can't delete it. If you really don't want to see it, stick it in a folder and then stick the folder on a distant home screen.
But you might find it easier to just set the clock (date and time) on your iPhone.

It should be happening automatically, but if it's not, the above described how to do so manually.

I turned my 5s phone off and when I turned it back on it seems to have lost my pass code and won't unlock . How do you reset the pass code

I have a 5S it lost my passcode when I turned it off for about 10 minutes.Phone is now locked
How do I reset the passcode?

Hello Lynncooper,
It sounds like your passcode is not working for some reason to unlock your phone. This article should help you get back into your device:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
If you have not synced to your iTunes library, follow the steps in the section labeled:
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How can i change the automatic ID that apppears in my iPhone where in fact itis not my apple ID in the first place?

how can i change the automatic ID that apppears in my iPhone where in fact it is not my apple ID in the first place?

The automatic ID DaintyDaisy is talking about is when you go to your app store and it shows you as logged in under a certain Apple ID, and asks you for the password to log in. If this is not the correct Apple ID, then we (including me!!!) need to know where to go to re set it. I followed some other discussions and one link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796 shows you how to sign out, but when the Apple ID is greyed out, it doesn't help!!! Typical Apple world... get tangled and suffer for endless hours trying to fix one problem... but there is a million more to fix (like getting the righ App to download pictures from one's iPhone).

I How do I reset the security questions?

HELLO: Can someone tell me how do I reset the security questions?

Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
Go to: Apple Express Lane;
Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
Then choose iTunes Store;
Then choose Account Management;
Press Continue;
Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click Continue;
Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would like your security/challenge questions reset;
Click Send.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
Presently there appears to be problems on Apple's end, so it may be quite some time before they respond.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select "done", in the upper right corner
sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the security questions.
At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

I have tried resetting an iPhone 3 and I am unable to activate and sync it. How can I reset the device without using a computer?

Hello anacc,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

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.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.
