CHIME CRIME update
no luck as yet! Working at home office and early starts are awful with the Chime so loud!!!!
I tired the adding programme to Terminal...did not work.
Also 'Chime Stopper'- (yet to test) https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13170/startup-chime-stopper
But...
I found last night the 'Startup Pref Pane' in System Prefs... this should stop the 'Chime Crime'
so i can only test this and see what happens
This could be the answer for OSX 10.8.5....
Will update you all if it works

How to create stop/start effect for tilt/shift

Hi I was wondering how to get the animated look I have seen with tilt/shift videos. I want to record my scenes using my Canon 5D Mk2 in video mode rather than use time lapse and increase my shutter count. So after I have shot my video with my Tilt/shift lens I want to create the jittered video effect in FCP, any help would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Steve

you can maybe have a play with the Video Filters > Video > Strobe effect, see if that gets you where you want to go

How can I stop/start downloading images in websites?

I want to block downloading of images in a web page and see them as I wish

I am not sure I understand what you are asking.
At one time websites were text only, now nearly every website contains "Images" of some kind, even if it is only the icons etc used on a page.
*Try View-> Page style = No Style
<br> you will note a dramatic change in most webpages
* you may be interested in looking at[[Options window - Content panel]]
You could even be asking about how to use a very slow dial up connection where images cause a problem, due to bandwidth/speed considerations; whatever it is I think we need a bit more information please.
Perhaps you could give an example of what you are trying to do, saying what the website is and what the image is.

How do you stop Spotlight from indexing other OSX partition?

I have my harddrive partioned, on one partition is osx 10.8, on the other is osx 10.9. I'd like to stop Spotlight on 10.8 from indexing 10.9's partition. If 10.8 is booted and I set Spotlight to not index 10.9's "macintosh HD" via systemprefs/spotlight it has the unfortunate consequence of carring over, so when I boot into my 10.9 partition Spotlight won't be indexing - which is not what I want.
Anyone able to shed some light on this one?

Unfortunately, when you add a drive in the Privacy field, a small file is created on that drive which tells Spotlight not to index it. So both 10.8 and 10.9 see that file and won't index, no matter which OS you did the Privacy change from. Also then, of course, if you remove the drive from Privacy, both will index it.
At least that's how it's worked for me. I haven't been able to get the same drive to behave differently for multiple startup partitions.

Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

Bing is taking over Firefox - auto starts on start, or grabs the home page if I start it - how do I stop this? Go to Safari?

Every few months, Bing takes control of Firefox:
When I start the computer, Bing autostarts FF and then makes itself the home page.
If I quickly close FF - I am really upset about this Bing thing and will never use it, so I shut down the autostart FF - and then open FF myself, Bing will open as the home page.
When I check options Gmail is set as the home page. When I check bookmarks, there is nothing for Bing.
This is a pretty egregious MS malware program.
How do I stop this, and keep it from re-occurring? Note that I've already tried the resetting of FF, which means I must reinstall all extensions. That works but only for a few weeks. The Bing malware is back. How do I get rid of this, once and for all? Or could Mozilla have a legal chat with MS, since they are "grabbing" your software in the worst malware fashion.
I use an ASUS F502c. It came with Windows 8; I've upgraded that to 8.1
Thanks,
DMS

How do you stop Audigy programs from loading at start

I posted yesterday regarding my sound card (Audigy 2 ZS Platinum) taking up a large amount of CPU.
I went into my BIOS and basically assigned every free IRQ to my PCI cards and yet again changed the slot that the card sits on. Everything is back to normal and I think I might know why, which is where my question comes in.
Thankfully, XP allows me to use the card without rebooting. If I do reboot, I have a feeling 3 things will happen.
. A pop up window will appear at the top of my screen that allows me to control certain aspects of the card.
2. A program will appear in my task bar (white with blue headphones) which allows me to run Creative Programs.
3. My CPU will jack up again.
Because I didn't have to reboot when i re-installed the card, these two programs are not running.
My question is, how do I stop those two programs from loading at start up? I've closed them down in the past after a reboot and it does not help, so obviously something is loading with them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

That is not part of Firefox, but appears to be an add-on. You appear to have this add-on installed - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/3481/

How do I stop iTunes from starting up in the other active Windows sessions?

I have multiple (3) user accounts on a windows (Vista) computer. When I start iTunes from one account iTunes wants to also start up on each of the active windows accounts and continues to attempt to start iTunes after some time period (90 seconds?).
I get a error screen on the attempts for the User that should not be starting iTunes that reads:
You cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open.
Ask the other user to quit the application, then try again.

How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

See these articles for some suggestions:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

How can I stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again

Hi
I am making a program that simulates how to manage transactions when accessing a database by using locks. I have run into a problem and I hope someone has the time to help me.
When a user does an update the transaction commits and releases its locks when the program executes
<%stmt.executeUpdate("commit!"); %>
I need to put a break in to stop the program executing this statement, to illustrate the lock is set correctly.
I have tried to put in an alert box but this does not prevent the rest of the java code being executed.
I have tried to use prompt boxes, JavaScript functions, but these functions cannot have any java code in them.
I have tried using the java.swing JOptionPane boxes but this didn?t work either
I have tried to get input from the user but I don?t know how to retrieve this data on the same page. (As far as I know you have to use submit and even refresh the page or retrieve it on the next page).
Does anyone know how I can stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again (on same page)
Mette

I already have another client (Tomcat jsp application) running and it throws a SQLException correctly when I don�t put in a commit=true statement and don't close the database connection.
But the problem is how to get the code above to stop to illustrate I have set this lock.
I have tried to use the JOptionPane but because my program is running in a web browser I cannot use the JOptionPane dialog box.
I have tired using an alert box but it executes the commit statement before the alert box is dispayed. So this does not work
While (i < 2)
if( i==1)
%>alert(�The transactions commits when you press Ok�); <% //what it to stop execution here
else
stmt.executeUpdate(�commit�);
I am not using threads so I cannot use the sleep function.
I am using mysql and have already configured it to detect deadlocks and how long to wait for locks.
Thanks for your help
Mette

How do I stop Itunes from automatically starting?

Itunes automatically turns on when the computer is powered up, but Itunes is not in the startup folder.
How do I stop Itunes from auto starting?

10 minutes later: iTunes will not startup if the iPod is not plugged in upon boot up. If the system sees the iPod plugged in upon boot, then system will start. This seems to be done with the help of iTuneshelper.exe and /or iPodService.exe. if you don’t want iTunes to start automatically when the system boots do not have your iPod plugged in. if you want to be able to keep the iPod plugged in then you are going to have to msconfig at the start run command and stop the iTuneshelper.exe in the startup service area. This should stop the iTunes from starting up when the unit is plugged in and you are booting up. Sorry for the long sentences but thats a possiable fix, enjoy.
