How do I turn off cusor position frame in 10.4.8?

After applying the 10.4.8 PPC update and rebooting on my 15" Powerbook G4, I now have my cursor pointer surrounded by a large, ugly, black frame which shows the relative position of the cursor on the desktop. Rebooting doesn't get rid of it, and I don't see an option in System Preferences to turn it off. Does anyone know how to sut it off? The attached is a screen shot that shows what I mean.
Thanks for any help!

Click the "Options" button for "Zoom" in the "Seeing" pane of "Universal Access" System Preferences. Turn off "Show preview rectangle...".

  • How do you turn off the Application Frame in the Windows version of CS6?

    I have successfully turned off the Application Frame on my Mac version of CS6 but can not find the same functionality in my Windows version.  Anyone know how to turn off
    this feature in the Windows version?

    Application Frame is a Mac only feature
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-application-frame-document-window.ht ml#main_Application_frame__Mac_OS_X_Only_
    It's the normal behaviour by design for all software in the Windows environment so there's no on-off toggle.

    Every cut I make in the sequence window leaves one remaining frame from its deleted neighbor clip. How do I turn off this feature - It is driving me mad.

    Here are 3 pictures detailing what I'm experiencing.
    Picture 1; clip 1 tail frame.
    Picture 2; clip 2 head frame.
    Picture 3; clip 2 head frame is now tail frame of clip 1.
    does this help describe what is happening? Basically every cut I make
    leaves an unwanted frame as a ghost of the missing cut.
    best,

  • FAQ: UI - How can I change the color theme, size of the text, or turn off the application frame?

    CHANGING THE INTERFACE COLOR SCHEME:
    The Photoshop CS6 default interface is dark, but if you prefer the lighter interface you are used to from earlier versions,
    you can change it back in the appearance area. There are 4 default color themes.
    Mac          Photoshop > Preferences > Interface
    Windows   Edit > Preferences > Interface
    CONFIGURING LARGER FONTS:
    For those who need larger fonts, you can also change the UI Font Size down in the type area.
    Be sure to restart Photoshop to see the changes.
    TURNING OFF THE APPLICATION FRAME
    CS6 opens now by default in "Application Frame". You can go Window>Application Frame in the main meu and uncheck this

    Select the title / text and then click on the "i" (inspector). A colored pin wheel shows up after you click on the square box directly below the font settings inside the inspector window. Then simply drag the dot to the color you want. Like this:

  • How do I turn off Facebook text messages?

    Hello,
    I really don't know where to ask this question, so I hope I'm posting it in the right location. I transitioned from the iPhone 3GS to the new iPhone 4S. On my older iPhone, I NEVER received text messages from Facebook (which is a good thing). However, now that I am using the 4S, I am constantly getting bombarded with text messages from Facebook. They are "notifications", ie, when someone posts to my wall or if someone responds to a comment that I made.
    I don't know if this is something that is controlled from the Facebook web page (using Safari on my iMac), or if it is controlled from the Facebook app on my iPhone, or if it is controlled from "Settings" or "Notifications" on the iPhone. I have tried all of these places and turned everything off. All notifications for Facebook are in the "OFF" position. I am at my wit's end because this stupid thing is waking me up in the middle of the night with Facebook text messages.
    If anyone can help me in finding out how to turn this feature off, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks!

    Okay, it has been a few hours and I have not had a single text message from Facebook. WHEW!!
    It had to be your suggestion that fixed it. I don't know how I missed turning off that one notification, but I guess that's what did the trick. They have made this notification stuff a bit confusing, becasue there are multiple areas where you can go in and turn stuff on and offf, and you really can't tell what it is you're doing until it's too late.
    Thanks again for your help. I will mark this question as "Answered".

  • HT1657 How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads in itunes store?

    How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads across the top of the screen when I open the itunes store and am in the movies section?

    Thanks varjak paw.
    I was afraid this was the case.  To the degree that Apple marches down this well-travelled road towards making money by trying to pound customers into submission with flashing ads, etc. that actually serve only to aggravate and drive away at least people like me (28 year user of macs) from both Apple and whatever is being advertised, and indeed get in the way of my being able to efficiently do what is my part of what I always thought was the core of the synergism between Apple and its customers -- them innovating to provide the best tools to help us to be creative and productive, then the company will find itself sharing that space with myriad other companies so bankrupt for ideas and innovation that they have no other possible strategy that to promote mindless consumerism.  That does not seem a place of strength for Apple and a complete forfeiting of its unique position.  Sad to watch.

  • How can I turn off Ken Berns effect in slide shows

    How can I turn off Ken Berns effect as the default in Aperture slide shows.

    Depending on what theme you choose (this would be for the "Classic" theme), it should be under the "Crop" setting, which will be a choice in Default Settings when you're in your slideshow, on the right side of the window. For crop choose "Fit in Frame" or "Fill Frame" as opposed to "Ken Burns." You can also do this for individual slides, turn it on or off...
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I turn off the autocomplete/autofill function in Mail?

    How can I turn off the autocomplete / autofill function in Mail (Mail 7.2)? I know how to remove email addresses from the 'Previous recipient' list, but I simply want to deactivate the autocomplete function for email addresses entirely.
    You used to be able to do this via Mail - Preferences - Composing, but I upgraded to Mavericks today, and the option to deactivate the autocomplete funtion for email addresses is no longer there.
    Does anyone know where to find it?
    Thanks in advance for your feedback,
    Tine

    Somehow Escape button started bringing me an autocomplete list in Keynote which is monstrously inconvenient.
    This is rather surprising.
    What you are describing is a feature called "word completion", provided by the Cocoa text engine, and hence used by apps which rely on it, including iWork, TextEdit, and others. When you are typing, or the insertion point is in a suitable position, pressing ⎋, or ⌥⎋, or F5 brings up the word completion list. Of course, it only works if there are suitable words in the list. For instance, if you type "Schad", intending to write "Schadenfreude", you can press ⎋ as much as you wish and nothing will come up. But type "Zeit" and then ⎋, and you'll get "Zeitgeist" sure enough.
    What is surprising is that you describe it as if you had just came across it, whereas it has been available for years (although I believe that originally it was activated only by ⌥⎋). iWork (including Keynote) is a little different, because, in addition to ⎋, ⌥⎋, and F5, word completion is also activated by ⌘⎋.
    I don't know how to turn off this feature, if indeed it can be turned off.
    Usually Escape would make me exit the text box
    Is there any chance you mis-remember? The Keynote shortcut for exiting text editing and selecting the text box is ⌘↩ (command-return).

  • HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

    How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
    With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
    This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
    Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
    If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
    Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
    Thanks!

    Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

  • How do I turn off SSID?

    How do I turn off SSID please?

    Not necessarily - I'm a Fon person, but still have the option to turn off SSID broadcast on my BT Homehub
    Personally, I wouldn't bother though. It can make it more difficult than necessary for legitimate devices to connect, while providing no real security improvement.
    Think you are correct its the WIFI that can not be turned off when subscribed to Fon
    That's not necessarily the case either.
    agreed also whilst it may be handy to stop others seeing your ssid it stops you as well
    Actually, it doesn't stop anybody !
    Could you be more specific please asto how for both points 
    WRT the first point, I think you're talking about (certain versions of) a  particular router. I use a HH1, locked at a firmware version that allows me to control the hardware, rather than vice-versa. This allows me full control of all aspects of its wireless functionality, without opening it up to other Fon/Openzone users...should I want that.
    as I cant turn off wifi the tab is greyed out when I subscribe to FON?
    If that bothered me, I'd use a different router.  
    There's no requirement to use a HH...It's being "free" is no reason, in my book, to use hardware that doesn't do what I want - especially given the low cost of a perfectly decent consumer grade router.
    And whilst I can see the transmission I cant see the SSID ? when not sent
    You're not using the right tools
    The SSID is broadcast in the clear whenever a device attempts to connect to it, and there's lots of software out there that'll capture it. If a device is already connected, there are tools that'll fake a deauthenticate frame - which rather conveniently causes the device to reauthenticate and reveal the SSID. If nothing's currently connected, it's just a matter of waiting
    Hiding the SSID provides only "security through obscurity".  Far better to properly secure the WLAN, and enjoy the convenience of broadcasting the SSID.

  • How do you turn off snap to grid in Logic Pro x

    Hi
    How do you turn off snap to grid as in garageband .....it was quite simple...
    But I don't seem to get to grips with this in logic ....
    I have options of smart ...and so on ....
    I want to be able to move eg an imported audio file to start wherever I want so not to snap to the nearest beat or bar...
    Anyone know??
    Thanks

    Technically you cannot turn it off, but you can choose a very fine resolution which in effect boils down to having it off: ticks. For accurately lining up audio you can use Samples (the smallest snap value, probably equates to GB's off setting?).
    I have F5 to F8 assigned to snap values bar, beat, division and tick. Very handy.
    The Frames values obviously come in handy when working to video, though there's no law agaist using it without video.
    Note that they are ordered from big to smallest.

  • TS3988 How do I turn off iCloud and go back to the way I had it before?
