How do I stop .tar.md5 archive unpacking?
I'm running OSX 10.9.4 on a 2013 MacBook Air (Haswell). I like to download/flash different firmwares for my Galaxy S5. They (the firmwares) I download come in .zip files. I chose where to extract it and the result is a .tar.md5 format file (a type of compressed file). The problem is that OSX automatically starts unpacking this .tar.md5 file and the result is a folder.
I need OSX to stop unpacking my .tar.md5/.tar files because I need them like that. It doesn't do that with .zip or other file formats, just with this one (as far as I know). How do I do that?
Thank's,
Mihai Raducan
No, it's not that. That was the first thing I checked. It doesn't open .zip or any other files automatically, just this .tar.md5 file. And I mainly use Chrome.
I also checked Archive Utility, but there is nothing there I can check/uncheck to make it stop it's behaviour.

How do I stop Firefox from archiving conversations after I send a message to someone?
When someone sends me an email and I reply, the conversation automatically goes to the archive. I can retrieve it by clicking on the 'undo archive' link, but I want it to stop archiving things in the first place. It seems to do it no matter who the conversation is with, meaning it's not restricted to personal emails from Gmail or Yahoo or any particular company I'm doing business with. It's been happening for a few months. I do not remember changing the archive setting and I cannot find any way to access the archive setting. Thanks for your help.

How to stop an abnormal Archive Log creation
Hi all,
How can I stop an abnormal Archive Log creation in the database.
sometimes suddenly the database is creating tremedously innumeral number of archive log and destination is full and database hang .After stoping the service and srver also , when I restart the database it continue again.
How can I stop it.
Naorem Nilkumar SinghaI've never heard of Oracle spontaneously deciding to start generating massive amounts of redo for no good reason. I would wager that there is some process which is hitting your database and making a significant number of data changes, which is causing your redo problems. You need to identify that process and either tune it so it generates less redo or you need to provide sufficient disk space to manage the redo generation rate your database requires.

How to uncompress *.tar.gz archive with p7zip (or gunzip)?
How do I uncompress a.tar.gz archive with p7zip?
I tried the following (as root from directory /tmp):
p7zip -d "/media/Backup Full/logfiles2014.03.tar.gz"
without success. p7zip tells me: "unknown suffix"
Even (as root from /tmp directory)
gunzip -d "/media/Backup Full/logfiles2014.03.tar.gz"
does not work. I was told "No such file or directory"
But I am sure the path to DVD is correct. I can see it in File Browser
So how else can I uncompress a *.tar.gz (to /tmp folder)?
I guess the extracted output should automatically be put in the directory where p7zip/gunzip is started.
If an additional output directory parameter is necessary then the output should go to /tmpThe Solaris 11 tar command actually understands gz format:
tar xf /media/Backup Full/logfiles2014.03.tar.gz
Much simpler. See the man page for tar.

I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive. -
How can I stop apple mail from autosaving drafts?
Hello all,
I have finally got myself a new computer and been immersed in the "new" way- my old mac was a bit like a volkswagen beetle, old and cranky but very efficient.
This new interlaced madness is proving to be very confusing on many levels but here I will state one problem I am seeking a solution to:
Apple mail autosaves a copy of my email reply drafts every 30 seconds in my apple mail draft folder. - This means many copies are saved!!!
How do I stop this?
The reason I ask this is for the following reasons:
1- If I don't send my reply after 30 seconds I have to manually delete the drafts.- I didn't know this until I was doing a little organising and have realised that I have quite a few drafts of the same message lying around in my google on mac (imap) "all mail" folder and these end up taking alot of space.
2- These then get transfered to my google mail "all mail" folder and end up taking up more space.
3- Manually deleting things from my google on mac "all mail" account is a pain in the *** because I need to delete it into the googletrash on mac and not any other deleting area. (unless I do it directly from gmail) I didn't know this until I had a read through google- the "all mail" archive is another pain in the ***.
I was deleting these messages from my mac "all mail" mailbox and they just magically reappeared into the same "all mail" mailbox, meaning they are downloaded from the server continually- I hate to think how much more that adds to data roaming.
Possible solutions I have tried out:
1- uncheck the "save draft on server" box in mail;preferences;mailbox behaviour (and saving it) - I did this and tried to write a message and there it appeared as each 30 seconds passed
2- change the mac mailbox behaviour settings to gmail Imap settings for apple mail and save these- as above, I wrote a message and it still appeared in my drafts folder, new, message appearing every 30 seconds.
3- uncheck the "use idle command if server suppors it" box in mail;preferences; accounts;advanced (as someone mentions in another forum) and the message still autosaves.
HELP!
1. This seems to be common with most people
2. I am using gmail and IMAP on mac book pro 2012 10.7.4, lion
3. This never happened with my volkswagen which was also a mac but from 2006
4. Some people say this is Imap related. I have only noticed it with this apple mail and have read it has been happening to people since 2008.
5. Look forward to new solutionsI'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal. -
I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening?
I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening? I've had my phone over 2 years and only in the past 2 months has it started deleting notes. Now they are all deleted, but thankfully still in my email, but only on a computer.
I guess he/she open Notes in Gmail settings. This archives (one way sync) notes in gmail account under notes label that is invisible if you are using the standard gmail setup on your iPhone. You can see it on desktop browser, Safari or gmail app in iDevice. Am I wrong?
Sorry for bad English. -
Random audio interruptions. I'm getting audio snippets, no more than a word or syllable, about 20 times per hour. Emanates from Mac internal speakers. Started after upgrading to OS 10.9.5. What is it? How can I stop it?
Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Tar.xz archives not correctly recognized anymore...
Seems that with a few updates (seen a few specific to xz) that a host of .tar.xz archives I've made are not being properly recognized... file-roller used to see them all just fine a few months ago, but attempting to open them today, I got a few with the standard "archive not recognized" error in file-roller and xarchiver. Xarchiver will let me extract some of those archives, but the extracted archives end up being .tar archives. When I originally made this with file-roller, it could pack and unpack tar.xz archives in a single effort. Am I experiencing an uncommon issue or is this just not being talked about because those who have had the issue wrote it off since it was hit or miss?
exact error:
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
will see if I can find a file I'm able to share, as these files are backups of CD rips from programs I legally own, but can't legally share... -

http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/4003/screenshot20110731at913.jpg
This is a little screen shot of it.
I am new to mail. And I have it set up with Gmail and IMAP. And every so often it keeps sending me back my deleted messages. At first it was 2000 message lots. And as the screen shot in the link shows. One time it wanted to send me 8000 messages. I just want my deleted messages to stay deleted. From Mail, from Gmail, from everything. But they don't seem to want to stay deleted. I don't know if I have det up anything wrong. But it's pretty frustrating.
If anyone can help me I'll be really appreciative.They are being sent to the All Mail folder. The inbox is pretty much unaffected.
I don't want to hide the All Mail folder and forget about it. I am after the messages gone forever. Especially from the All Mail folder.
I'm the kind of person who uses email like sms. I use it to contact people annd delete 95% of the messages after reading. I don't want them archived. I don't want them stored in the All Mail folder. I want them totally gone.
And yes it seems Mail is downloading all my messages over and over. So my question is how to stop the messages being stored/archived and to instead be totally deleted.
In the gmail settings I found:
Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.
When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: Immediately delete the message forever. Instead of archiving it like I had set before. I'm not 100% sure if that'll fix the issue I am having. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me if I am on the right track.
And thanks for the quick reply. -
How do I stop movies from uploading to iCloud, How do I stop movies from uploading to iCloud
I don't want ecery show I buy to be uploaded to iCloud how do I stop it?
you are on the appleTV generation 2 forum.. is this an appleTV generation 1 problem?
if it is a gen 1 question.. that is how the it is supposed to work.. appleTV 1s cannot be backed up so after a sync is performed items will get synced back to the linked computer (where it can be backed up) where it can be synced back to the appleTV (will be in two locations) or can be streamed to the appleTV.. if that didn't happen you could possibly lose all the content sitting on your appleTV gen 1 if you had a hard drive failure or had to restore you appleTV.
appleTV gen 1 is not intended as a archive for media, only as a temporary location to mirror some portion of the content sitting on the iTunes folder sitting on the linked iTunes library.. it functions exactly like an synced iPod.. not like an external hard drive
this is the kind of confusion relating to how appleTV functioned is why i believe apple went to a much simpler streaming only model in appleTV generation 2
in any case if this is an appleTV 1 question.. you are on the wrong forum.. -

SOLUTION FOR UNREAD COMCAST MAIL...so far, so good
I went to Comcast.net and created a folder titled "Archive 10-2-13" and then went back into my inbox on the site and clicked the 'select all' box at the top of the email page. I could only see what would fit on my screen, but figured out that if I scrolled ALL the way to the very end (which was a l-o-n-g time for 30,000 emails) and then clicked "move to' at the top of the page and chose "Archive 10-2-13"..all my mail went there and no longer comes up as unread on my iPhone.
I don't know if this will work for other POP accounts (Hotmail, etc.) but HALLELUJAH! I have ZERO unread email messages showing! -
I have multiple family members using one apple id and all of our data is going onto each others phones/how do i stop this?

Good afternoon friends.
Please help me and tell how can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?
I started using Apple ID in 2011 when iCloud was not exist and was forced to use non-apple e-mail adress as primary ID.
So I used GMail mailbox.
When iCloud was started I created my account but unfortunatelly can't remove this Gmail address from my Apple ID and replace it with icloud mail address.
I was VERY dissapointed because I don't want to use "outside" mailbox to get letters from Apple and ny ID.
In fact I see the Apple old users and fans discrimination.
When creating new user accounts are free to create a box on the iCloud mail and use it as a primary ID, and the only ONE.
At the same time the old user is obliged to keep third-party mail box like Gmail etc. as the primary and can not get such an opportunity, as a new user
This is extremely inconvenient and a VERY strange logical.
For example, now I want to stop using this mailbox on Gmail but I can not do that because in this case I lose access to my ID, or run the risk that someone in the future will create a box with the same name on Gmail (when name will be free and available) and will automatically get access to my accounts on Apple and to my Apple ID.
Now, to avoid this, your team, I offer the only way out: ID, create anew.
Of course it's possible, but then:
- I lose all my purchases for 3 years and will be forced to make them again and pay money for the second time for my purchases
- Lose access to the familiar iCloud e-mail address who now serves as secondary ID because this e-mail address is almost no longer available and will never be released in future.
And now answer me for ONLY TWO questions:
- WHERE IS LOGIC?
- WHAT ABOUT TO BE FRIENDLY FOR YOUR USERS AND FANS?
Thank you!
Hopefully for your GOOD answers.You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support. -
How do I stop contacts updating across two phones?
Hi
This is my first post, so please treat me gently
My partner and me have both just got 3g iphones, we love them but have one slight prob with them.
When we connect our phones to our itunes account, contact details from both phones are replaced with all the contacts from each of the 2 phones.
How can we stop this happening? i.e. ensure that my contacts stop on my iphone only and my partners contacts on their iphone only? (and we don't get each others).
Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it when searching.
Thanks in advance for any help.....
RawladHey Rawlad,
You can create a folder in Outlook or Windows Address Book and then sync the selected folder.
In iTunes, just click the iPhone> Info tab> Check sync contacts> Selected groups.
You can also Reset the Sync History in the iTunes preferences window as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
Resetting the Sync History would would make iTunes ask if you want to merge or replace contacts.
Make sure you have at least one contact syncing from the PC before choosing the merge option, so they can merge.
