How do I set up my MBP so that a message does not pop up when the power button is pressed?

When I press my power button on my retina a message that says "Are you sure you want to ..?"
How do I set it up so that that message does not pop up?
My friends keep turning off my computer..

Tell your friends to leave your computer alone. That's not the proper way to turn off your MBP. And no, that message cannot be turned off. It is a safety feature.

  • I am trying to delete some aps, but the delete "X" does not come up when the ap is pressed.  Anyone know how I can fix?.

    Hi, I am trying to delete some aps, but the delete "x" does not come up when the ap is pressed.  Anyone know how to fix.  Also, my ipod is turning off on its own and won't power back on unless I plug it in although it is fully charged.

    For the apps:
    - You can't delete the apps that came with the iPod
    - Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if there is the Restrictions set that prevents deleting apps

  • I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem?

    I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem? I've copied the logs that I found for each kernel panic that still have the message logged. Please help if you can, I have read some of the other comments and perhaps it has something to do with my anti-virus software being on at start up. I have copied the log here. Any advice will be welcome.

    Immediate suspects are the additions you added to you rsystem that installed kexts (drivers).  From above,
    com.intego.iokit.VBX6NKE            1
    com.intego.iokit.BehavioralKext            1
    com.intego.kext.VirusBarrier.AppBarrierKPI            10.6.8

    com.globaldelight.driver.BoomDevice            1.1
    com.huawei.driver.HuaweiDataCardACMData            4.2
    Two experiments you can try.
    1.  Boot in safe mode and see if you can shut down normally.  All thise additions won't be running in safe mode so this test would indicate it is one of them causing the problem.
    2. Uninstall all the intego VirusBarrier stuff.  That's my first guess and the troublemaker.

    Hi Friends,
    we are deploying the SP1 via SCCM 2012 , and the success rate is around 50 %, its a Light touch installation where user will initiate the installation via Software Center ( Web based )
    i was able to gather few errors , and this are the errors which failed during SP1 Installation 0x800f0828,
    some errors which sccm reports display are 
    11171
    10008
    10021-
    17031 - 
    1602 - User Cancelled installation
    113 - No more internal file identifiers available
    10070 - File handle reference is no longer available
    10050 - A socket operation encountered a dead network
    11170  - The task sequence manager could not successfully complete execution of the task sequence
    i could not find the reason for some of the errors, also i am looking for a fix/woraround if any
    Also i have noticed that in few computers the task seq failed at a place where after the sp1 installation a reboot happens and then PGP BYPASS utility is uninstalled, it did not start the PGP bypass uninstall after reboot
    is there a way to cut short the Task seq and keep it simple ?
    right now its like this 
    1. checking for prerequisite : checks for OS Name and OS version
    2. installs PGP Bootgaurd Bypass
    3. System Restart
    4. Installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1
    5. Final Restart
    6. uninstall PGP Bootgaurd Bypass

    Plug it in to the charger - plugging it in should cause it to power on.

  • HT1212 i have a problem, my iphone is disabled and i can not get into it. the power button does not work and the computer i used before i do not have. icloud was not set up on it either. And it will not allow me to connect to my itunes. So what can i do t

    You will have to restore the phone and set up as New. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. The part you need is near the bottom, "If you have never synced your device with iTunes...". You will lose any content that is not backed up in iCloud.

  • How do I set Adobe Reader XI so that a saved pdf will be saved in the last folder saved?

    When I save a group of PDF files, I want them all saved in the same folder.  How do I configure so that each fille will be saved in the last folder that was used to save, rather than having to browse for the save folder each time?

    I am replying to my own question. I learned that if you right click when trying to open a PDF, you are asked which app you wish to use to open the file. If you click on Get Info, instead of choosing an app, you get this great information box which gives you the option to set Adobe Reader as your default app for PDF files. It even allows you to change all the pdf files you already have to Adobe Files. Yay.

  • How can you set up a "ring around" that us old timers used to do in the dark room for printing?

    I have a calibrated monitor. I have set up the proper profile for my epson 1400 printer using only epson ink. I am using PSE 5.0 and am perfectly happy with it.Working on Win Vista Business. I tried "soft proofing" in Quimage and was not happy with its result, so I want to go back to my tried and true technique I once used in my color darkroom, by using a window cut in a large piece of black board, and moving it from R to L changing the color balance and or the exposure to make a good print.
    Help anyone?

    Thanks for the reply. Let me try to clarify what I am trying to do:Rather than waste many sheets of 13X19 sheets of paper "tweaking" the picture, i would like to set up 5 or more tweaks on one sheet of paper, so that I will only waste one sheet, rather than 5 sheets.

  • I cannot open/download Word documents. I need to add it to applications, but the "open as" box does not pop up when I click on a link. How can I add Word to applications?

    When I click on a docx file, it works. Only a problem for older version Word and Excel files. When I click on the link, nothing happens. Word files are not listed in my "applications", but I have no way of adding it.

    %AppData% is the name of an environment variable.
    On XP that variable points to C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    You can use Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder

  • How to perform action when the close button is pressed?

  • How best to halt an execution when the emergency stop is pressed or the door opens with TestStand?

    Hi all,
    I am creating a test set that needs to be halted when the emergency button is pressed or the door is opened (note: data about the door open status is read in via a door latch using a PXI-6514). The way that the sequence is going to be structured is that each test (approx. 11 tests) is going to be a step in a TestStand sequence. The steps that are going to run the tests are going to be of type Pass/Fail. These steps will call a DLL written in C# that will perform one entire test.
    What I want to do is for some tests when the door opens, the step in the sequence is aborted and then when the door is closed the step is rerun. However, for a few tests the door needs to be opened for the operator to make changes and then once the operator closes it again then that test should continue testing.
    As I am new to both TestStand and development of test equipment, I am unsure which method is better:
    Method 1:
    Let TestStand handle the door opening, thus TestStand would need to know which test to halt and which to abort. I don't know which callbacks are required to do this.
    Method 2:
    Let each DLL handle the software trigger that the PXI-6514 "throws" when the door opens. This would mean that for each test you can either halt it until the door close. Or for the necessary test you can abort the execution of that test by shutting in a safe manner and returning a bit to TestStand, which indicates that the test was aborted. Then is there a callback that will rerun the step or will I just use Goto statements.
    Is there another method that would be more appropriate to use?
    Thank you
    Elnaz

    Hi Elnaz,
    I have faced a very similar issue before. The best option is to have your code modules handle the signal. So when a test when someone open the doots, you code modules should be able to keep up that signal and be able to act on it. So essentially your code modules should have some sort of a signal handler that automatically executes code to halt the code module when it receives the external signal. You have to pass a parameter back into teststand informing that an external signal was received by the code modules. So you can use Post Actions for this. Every step in TestStand has Post Action in the Step Properties. So you can change the execution flow based on the parameter passed in.
    For example, if your code module received the external signal then it will pass a flag. In your post Actions based on this flag you can either goto a differnt step or you can jump back to your current step, thus re-running itself.
    I hope this helps

  • HT201303 How do I set up my iPhone so that I have to enter my password each time I need to access my apple account? Previously my account name was always stored and I only had to enter my password each time but now it never asks for a password

    How can I set up my 4s so that when I need to access my apple account to either download an app, update an app or buy something then I need to just put in my password?  This is how my 3s worked but the 4 s seems to have stored all my details so I don't need to log in. My young son sometimes plays games and I dont want him to accidentally buy stuff. If I log out then each time I need to go back in I have to put in all my account info. Not just my password.
    Any ideas?

    Depending upon what version of iOS that you have on it then you might have a Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password setting on it - if you do then set it to 'Immediately'
