How do I turn off AppleTV when I'm not using it?

It actually goes to sleep instead of powering off. Apple TV only uses 6 watts of power. That would mean 10 Apple TVs would consume the same amount of power as one 60 watt bulb and that's when it's on (not in the sleep mode).
You can set it to go to sleep after 15 min., 30 min., etc. of inactivity in settings. I think the default is 15 min. That doesn't include watching a movie. You can also put it in the sleep mode in settings, but the easiest way is with the remote.
Hold the Play/Pause button on the reomte for 5 secs to put it to sleep. This only works from the main menu. To go to the main menu quickly, hold the menu button for 3 secs.

Go to System Preferences>Accounts and then select your account, then startup items, remove Word from the list and reboot, you should be fine then.

How do I turn VoiceOver off when I am locked in Guided Access on an iPad?

I have an iPad that I use in therapy with children with impairments and often have to switch between accessibility options. I am currently stuck in the TouchChat app with VoiceOver and Guided Access both turned on. Every time I triple click the home button the accessibility options come up but it just reads the options aloud to me rather than letting me turn VoiceOver off. Since I am also in Guided Access I am unable to get out of the app to go to settings to turn the VoiceOver off. I have even tried a forced shutdown hoping that that would help, but when I turn it back on I am automatically locked back in TouchChat. Please help! How do I turn VoiceOver off when I am also locked in Guided Access?

Open the Seeing tab of the Universal Access pane of System Preferences and turn it off. If it's on at the login window, turn it off from the Accounts pane under Login Options.

How do you leave your iMac when you're not using it?

Just curious..
Hey All..
I have a 24" iMac 2.8 with a 750GB Hard Drive. I tend to leave it on all the time shutting it down over night probably once a week. I have my settings to turn the display off after 5 minutes and turn off the hard disks "when possible". I just wondered if this was healthy or will it shorten the life expectancy of my pride and joy? I must admit that I do like to leave it on all the time. I leave my Time Capsule on all the time too...should I perhaps shut this down also?
I have the Applecare program which gives me some piece of mind with my iMac.
I'd be delighted and interested to hear how you all 'leave' your iMacs when you're not using them.
Kind regards..

I have my system plugged into a UPS and generally leave it sleeping. There's a window where I have it scheduled to wake up and then sleep again, but it I otherwise sleep it.
I suspect that sleep probably puts the least wear on your machine and is safe if you have a UPS. FWIW, an early 2007 24" iMac draws 3W of power when it's off, and 10W or so when asleep ( the newer models use less than 6W). During the boot process, power consumption will go 200-220W for ~1 minute. Normal usage it consumes about 100W. Idling, the machine will use between 70-100W depending on the screen brightness, and about 45W if the display is off and machine is idle. Playing something like WoW brings the power consumption up over the 200W mark.
The mechanical parts wear proportional to the number of times they are used (physical switches), and the electronic parts wear mostly based on the the result of cycles of temperature changes / surges of voltage. Pressing the power-button to power-on the Mac probably puts the most wear on the unit as a whole. That said, under normal circumstances you are not likely to put enough wear on anything but the hard disk to have it fail.

Firefox comes up in "safe" mode. How do I turn it off. I can't use the program this way.

About two weeks ago some virus (?) got in my computer. I lost everything and had to reload everything.
When I reloaded Firefox it came up 'locked'. Nothing would react to my mouse.
I discovered it came up in "safe" mode. I removed the program and reloaded it again. It came up in safe mode again. When I hit start and look at programs Firefox is there and under it is another Firefox program with safe mode in parenthesis. I can't use it this way. How do I turn safe mode off?

See [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]], the last option seems to be the most likely in your case.

Are you running 10.6 Snow Leopard as your profile indicates?
If so, it sounds like maybe an Expose or Active Screen Corners issue?
Go to Apple > System Preferences > Expose & Spaces > Expose and
1. experment with the Active Screen Corners selections
2. take a look at your F key settings for Expose
3. lastly check your Dashboard settings

It sounds that you are running the same iCloud account with two phones. I recommend you to create a different iCloud account and you should be all set.

On my own website vdha.us, I am now getting many words that are purple and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens trying to sell something. IE-9 does not do this. How do I turn this off in firefox?

Sirs,
The below URL came up immediately when I tried to access our Newfangled website this morning http://vdha.us :
http://surveyprizecenter.com/survey/claimgift-GT-kw-7b.php?t202kw=Vdha.us&trimmedKeyword=Vdha.us
I prefer to use Firefox and very seldom use IE-9. but now I might be forced to remove Firefox 4.0.1 and resort to using IE-9 because of this situation.
I don’t know how spammers can use our website to exploit their spamming, but I can only imagine the complaints I am going to get from our Board of Directors and members about this.
Can you make them stop, or at least explain how it is that anyone can do this without our permission.
We have never allowed advertisement on our website and don’t plan on starting now.
I am now also getting many words that are purple with two lines under them, and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens automatically trying to sell something. How do I turn this off?
I would appreciate any expediency in the return of an answer that you can provide.
Kindest Regards,

The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

I can no longer view my photos through th photo icon. There is not an icon on my "slide to unlock" screen that when touched starts a slide show of my photos. How do I turn that off so I can access my photos as before?

Oroilore-
I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon. I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off. The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted. If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Someone has hacked my things, how do I turn wifi off, and when will it be safe to go back on?

Someone has hacked my things, how do I turn wifi off, and when will it be safe to go back on? Also, do I need to reset everything? I have already changed passwords, covered my webcam, etc. Will they still have access to my computer?

Could you explain what you mean by 'Someone has hacked my things'?
What Mac do you have, with what version of OS X?
What security do you have on your wi-fi?

Kappy,
I know you said that my Apple TV shuts itself off after about an hours idle time but mine only shuts itself off radomly maybe one every two days even when the TV has been off and the iMack has been off over night. My wife and I both have iPhones and she has an iPad which may be causing the Apple to stay on. Don't know. Incidentally, my Apple TV shows my iMack iPhoto pictures and albums great. Still a little concerned that it doesn't shut off after some idle time.
