  • How do i stop new tabs that are loading from automatically switching from current tab

    how do i stop safari from loading a tab i've clicked on previously from automatically switching to it when i'm busy on another one? i want to stay on the other tab until new tab is finished loading..

    sanae68,
    exit Safari. In Finder, press Command-Shift-G. In the “Go to the folder” text box, enter
    /Users/username/Library/Preferences
    where username is your account’s user name. Scroll down to the com.apple.Safari.plist file, and drag it to your Desktop. Go into Safari again, open its Preferences to make sure that that checkbox is unchecked, and see if the tab behavior now acts accordingly. If it does, adjust Safari’s other preferences to your liking, and drag the com.apple.Safari.plist file on your Desktop to the Trash, and empty the Trash. If it doesn’t, drag the original com.apple.Safari.plist file on your Desktop back to the Preferences folder.

  • How do I delete a process that's running in the background?

    A process called "tunmgr" is using up 99% of my cpu causing my macbook air to overheat (and the fan(?) to be really loud). I've searched about the process/file and a few websites basically just says that it is a Blackberry app(?) and that it hasn't been confirmed (yet) to be harmful.
    I've already deleted the blackberry desktop manager on my computer as I've recently switched to iPhone. Is it safe for me to delete "tunmgr" and how do I do that?
    Every time I notice my computer overheating, I had to keep going to Activity Monitor to force quit the process/file.

    I had the same problem and researched it.  The tunmgr is essentially a bug that spawns a looped process due to checking the "Open Blackberry Link when a device is connected" in Blackberry Link.  To stop the process, open Blackberry Link -->> Preferences (not in the main menu, the gear in the top right corner) -->> uncheck "Open Blackberry Link when a device is connected".  Then restart and it should be back to normal.
    ps - thanks for fixing this Blackberry!

  • How can i stop emails coming that are explicit and disgusting.

    I keep getting emails from different people that i beleive are porn but i dont open

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • With the "7" how do I close the apps that are running in the background.

    How do I close background apps?

    On the iPad (don't know about the iPhone) you can use four or five finger swipe up to access the multitasking screen to close out apps. To use this option you need to turn on Multitasking Gestures in the Settings window:
    Saves having to hit the Home button twice...

  • HT201365 How do I clear apps that are running?

    How do I clear the apps that are running?  It used to be that I double click the home key and then press down on the app icon until the little red box appeared to close app.  It doesn't work that way with the iOS7 update.

    When you double tap the home button you should get little windows that you can scroll (left-right) through.. If you get that screen open.. just put your thumb on the app you want to kill, then swipe up towards the top of the phone.
    Let us know if this worked for you.
    Cheers!

  • How do I back up documents that are stored in iCloud to my own hard drive?

    The trouble is, however I search for an answer to this question, I get instructions on how to back up stuff TO iCloud.
    I want to back up stuff that applications like Pages and Numbers are already storing IN iCloud.
    See, I don't want to have to trust iCloud to safely store my documents.  Not unless there are copies somewhere that I can fall back on if (it's really only a matter of when) something goes fatally haywire in iCloud.
    It's easy enough to do with a service like, say, Dropbox, which treats my "cloud-stored" files like they are in a folder on my hard-drive.  So when I run either a local (Time Machine/Capsule) or a cloud (Crashplan, in my case) backup, those files get backed up.  So I have at least three copies of those files - in Dropbox, on my Time Capsule, and on Crashplan's servers.
    So how do I do that with docs that are stored in iCloud?  Apple wants me to store stuff in iCloud - if I have iCloud enabled and want to save a doc to another destination, there are multiple steps I want to go through.  And I'm fine with using iCloud if I'm creating documents that I want to be able to access from my iOS devices as well.
    Yes, I can do that with Dropbox, but it's less seamless than doing it through iCloud.
    But I want my own backups of those files, and near as I can tell, Apple makes that nearly impossible because iCloud does not show up anywhere as a folder that I can access or sort.
    Or does it?  Am I missing something?
    If so, let me know.... if not... is there a solution to this dilemma, or is it just one more aspect of iCloud that Apple has not clearly thought through?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    Right.  You didn't read the post, you only read the title.
    The title came from an earlier step in the process when I was posing a question to the systen.
    The pertinent part of the question is "How to I back up documents that are stored in iCloud" 
    That the destination for the backup is NOT my internal HDD should be clear from the rest of the post.
    And frankly, even if that is where I want to back up to, that would at least give me two copies, at least giving me one duplicate of the stuff on iCloud.
    So please stop wasting my time if you can't answer the actual question: How do I backup content that is stored in iCloud.  The destination of the backup is irrelevant.

    How do I see my pictures that are in my aperture library in finder?  I would like I be able to select  photos in finder when I am making photo books online without having to export them first from aperture jinto a new folder.

Is there any way to view and download my pictures directly from finder?  [Emphasis added.]
    The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with.  "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts.  In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do.  Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
    All pedantic, but please stick with me here  .
    You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
    That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
    The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
    You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
    From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
    Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
    The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
    Every Image has an Original.
    The Image is not the Original.  The Image is what you see in Aperture.
    The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
    You can make changes to an Image.
    Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
    Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database.  Let's call this file the Changes File.
    Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
    Image = Original + Changes File.
    The Image is not a file.
    Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs.  It exists only inside of Aperture.
    In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
    You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
    You may ask, "Why all the complexity?  Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?"  The answer is simple:  Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images.  Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file.  The gain in storage efficiency is huge.  The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
    Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

    No, there is not.  Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs.  You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
    Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images.  These files are called Previews.  You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab.  These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser.  These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

  • SAP job not using all dialog processes that are available for parallel processing

    He Experts,
    The customer is running a job which is not using all the dialog processes that are available for parallel processing. It appears to use up the parallel processes (60) for the first 4-5 minutes of the job and then maxes out about 3-5 processes for the remainder of the job.
    How do I analyze the job to find out the issue from a Basis perspective?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for replying!
    I don't believe its a standard job.
    I was thinking of starting a trace using ST05 before the job. What do you think?

    Easy way, CLONE IT to another HD

    BAD IDEA
    You want one backup (ie Time machine) and one (or more) data archive of just all your raw files (drag and drop, or cloned etc.)
