  • How do I turn off applications operating in the background

    I used to be able to turn off applications operating in the background.  Since the last software update, I can't do it.

    Double tap the Home button, then swipe upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the home button again to return to normal screen.

  • How can I turn off alert that Safari downloaded this application?

    A simple question, with what I'm sure will be a simple answer, but I just can't work it out. I have only just bought an iMac, running Leopard. Using Safari, I downloaded Firefox. Now every time I open Firefox, I receive an alert that says something like "You are about to open Firefox which is an application Safari downloaded from the internet". Usually with these sort of alerts there's a box that you can check that says "don't remind me about this again", but not so in this case.
    Where do I go, please, to turn off this alert. As friendly as it is, I don't feel I need to be reminded that I downloaded this application from the internet via Safari, every time I open it up...
    Many thanks.

    Security.
    You can check a box in Safari preferences to open "Safe" files after downloading but Applications are not one of them.

  • How can I turn off apps that automatically sync?

    Whenever I try to move music from itunes to my ipad mini it says it is over memory.  I can see the music on the ipad but it is grey and will not play.  I have tried to delete apps (which are taking up most of my memory) I do not want but it keeps putting them back on.  I have turned off the 'sync automatically' button on the preferences and devices in itunes.  I have unclicked the 'will install' on the apps section on itunes.  I have synced repeatidly and whenever I click the sync button the things I have just clicked on suddenly become 'will install' again. 
    I only want to move some music across from itunes but it won't even let me do that. 
    PLEASE HELP I AM GOING CRAZY!!

    Yes i did that, but when i went back to my home screen all the applications that i've choose to not using data just automatically activate themselves.... ><

  • How do I turn off notifications that keep interrupting my work!?

    Firefox 20.0 has added an infuriating feature that causes notification windows to pop up alerting me to whatever it feels like whenever it feels like. This telemarketing-style interruption is absolutely pointless and 100% in my way, and there HAS to be a way to disable it. Please, someone help! I don't want to have to drop Firefox—I've dealt with all kinds of ridiculous changes over the years—but I can't live with these interruptions.
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.8.2.
    Also, if anyone knows how to turn off that animated downloading arrow, that would be great, too.

    I had the same problem after the last update (Firefox 22). Firefox would show a notification after completing a download. I don't know why the developers would begin such a feature without providing a way to disable in preferences. Anyhow, my solution was to go into about:config and change '''browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete''' from true to false.
    I think this may be a solution for the OP. The conversation seems to have gotten sidetracked to the social feature, but SunSpirit13 also mentions the download arrow, which makes me think s(he) was referring to download alerts.

  • How can I turn off lots of failure popups when starting my mac?

    Dear community!
    Everytime I change my network, I get failure popups caused by missing server connection. How can I turn these messages off?
    I know the reason: at work I have lots of connections to different server and of course I don't have them at home.
    It's boring to click up to 10 times at these error popups to close them.
    Does anybody know how I can solve this issue?
    THX in advance for your help!
    Regards, Tina

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Boot in safe mode.
    Log in and see whether you still have the problem. If you don't, it's caused by one of your login items or a system modification that loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. A common offender is "Adobe Synchronizer," which is a component of some Adobe products.
    Step 2
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/PDF Services
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
    Step 3
    Open the folder
    ~/Library/Preferences
    as in Step 2 and move the following items in that folder to the Trash, if they exist:
    com.apple.recentitems.plist
    loginwindow.plist
    Log out and back in again, and test.
    Step 4
    Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, and bookmarks in the Preview application.
    Try rebuilding the iPhoto library.

  • How can I turn off the preview (overview) automatically executed when I launch Image Capture?

    I love using Image Capture, but every time I launch it, it automatically does a previes of my scanner's flatbed.  Most of the time, I don't use the flatbed.  I use the feeder to scan multiple pages. 
    My question is this:  Is there any way to turn off the automatic preview (overview) that Image Capture executes when it's launched?
    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!   

    Not a direct answer.
    From Image Capture Help:
    Scan pages with a document-feeding scanner
    When you scan a document with a document-feeding scanner, the same settings are used for all the pages in the feeder. If your pages need different settings (for example, some are grayscale and some are color), separate them into different groups.
    Before you begin these steps, you need to open your scanner. For instructions, see one of these help topics:
    Scan an image
    Scan an image with Image Capture
    Scan an image with Preview
    Place the pages in the scanner’s document feeder.
    Turn on the Use Document Feeder option, if it’s present.
    Set scanning options.You may need to click Show Details to see all the available options.Here are some of the options you can set. The options available to you depend on the scanner you’re using. Some options aren’t available on all scanners, and some scanners may have more options.
    To choose the type of image being scanned, use the Kind pop-up menu.Choose Text for black-and-white images with high contrast, such as text. Choose Black & White for grayscale images. Choose Color for color images.
    To scan both sides of a page, select Duplex.
    To choose a size for the scanned image, use the Size pop-up menu.
    To choose where to save the scanned images, use the Scan To pop-up menu.If you choose a folder, the images are stored in that folder. If you choose an app, the images are opened with that app.
    To adjust the colors or exposure of the scanned image, choose Manual from the Image Correction pop-up menu, and adjust the controls.If you don’t see the image correction controls, scroll down or make the Scanner window taller.
    Click Scan.The scanner scans the pages one by one.

  • How can I delete an adress that appear automatically when I want to write an email

    Je semble recevoir des polluriels à une adresse que j'aimerais supprimer de ma liste.  Cette adresse n'est pas dans mes contacts,  mais quand j'envoie un courriel,  si je tape les premières lettres de l'adresse,  elle apparait dans les choix.

  • HT201365 How do I turn off applications to keep my battery level up?  I used to be able to press the bottom button twice and hold down an icon until it jiggled and had an x on it.  That doesn't seem to work with the new upgrade.

    With the new OS 7 I can't figure out how to shut down applications to save battery.  I used to double click the bottom button and select applications to " x" out of.  How does this work now?

    double tap the home button and swipe up on the app screenshot.

  • How do I reinstall an application that appeared not to have installed?

    Yesterday I bought an application on the App  Store - I paid and the install button did its dance onto the Launchpad and I saw the download progress etc.  When all was completed I went to my Applications folder and there was no trace of the application (Pitchuresque by Aquilia).
    I checked my purchases in the App Store - and there it is right at the top saying "Installed".  So now I'm stuffed as it seems I cannot either attempt to buy it again or reinstall it.  I have no idea what went wrong but it certainly did go badly down the tubes on this occasion.
    Can anyone advise me on who I need to contact to try to sort this out please?
    Thanks.

  • How do I turn OFF feature that snaps list to show "now playing"?

    While I'm working on my large song list, while listening to music, when the song ends, it snaps my song list up to the current song playing. So every song I have to scroll back to the area of my list I was working one/looking at! It's such a huge waste of my time, I'm searching for a new music player. iTunes seems more concerned with syncing my stuff, and is no longer a good music player and database organizer.
    I've been using iTunes since it was a shareware app called SoundJamMP (where MP meant: Music Player) iTunes seems to have forgotten it's roots.

    If anyone shares this frustration, and has a better way for me to phrase my question, I'm all for help re-asking this in different wording. Thanks for reading.

  • Turn off tabs that open automatically

    The new Firefox announcement always opens and the Yahoo Toolbar update tab always opens. I'd like to turn them off.
    I know I can go to about:config but don't know which to change.

    hello Flag88, this will likely be caused by the user.js file in your profile folder.
    go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named '''user.js''' and restart the browser afterwards.

  • How can I turn off Signing in panel at PS start up?

    Hi,
    I am a paying customer. Every time I start my computer and I open PS, for one week now I have to sign up every time. And the application says that I have a trial version of PS and LR!!! How can I stop this? Moreover, in 2013 I BOUGHT LR 5, before subscribing in Creative Cloud. Why can't I install the old LR 5 that I bought on another computer?
    Sincerely,

    It's an old bug and i don't think that they will fix it. If you're working on WIndows try following solution:
