  • How do i turn off talkback when the screen is locked?

    How Do I Turn Off Talkback When The Screen Is In Locked Mode? It Will Not Allow Me To Get To The Accessibility Icon.....

    Hi
    I’d be happy to help you disable talkback on your Moto E! If you have inadvertently enabled Talkback, you can quickly pause it, and then go back to disable this feature.
    Anywhere on the screen, swipe down then right in a single motion, as if you were drawing an “L”.
    Note: This should work whether the phone is on the lock screen or unlocked.
    You will then see 2 options in the top corners of the screen, select “Pause Feedback”.
    When the Suspend Talkback message appears, double tap “OK”.
    You can now normally go into Settings > Accessibility and disable talkback.
    I hope this helps!

    how can i turn off passcode in iPhone 4S when the option is greyed out?

    You can't. Do you have an Exchange account on the phone? If so, the ability to disable the passcode can be restricted by a profile installed when setting up the Exchange account.

  • How do I turn off vibrations when changing sound preferences?

    I recently changed from syncing from my iphone to my computer to syncing it to icloud.  Well it reset all my settings upon both syncs and now it vibrates every time I change a tone of some sort.  I gone into my settings and have the vibrations turned off under sounds, yet it continues to vibrate whether I have the phone on silent or otherwise. It is very annoying.  Please help Apple community! What can I do to get these vibrations to turn off completely?  I never want the phone to vibrate.

    Someone else reported this sound last September, but there wasn't any resolution to that thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938003 After upgrading to Snow Leopard on my Mac, Firefox makes typewriter or paper crinkling sounds when going to links and sites].
    Does it seem to be at all related to whether pages use Flash? Just wondering whether it is some kind of notification sound related to Flash's capabilities of using the webcam and microphone.

  • How do you turn off sounds when using phone?

    I know this question is not appropriate for this forum but I cannot find where it should go. I want to turn off the sounds when I am using my phone, e.g., when I am texting, each time I press a key it make a sound. If I turn down the volume then I cannot hear it ring so this is not the answer.
    I have the Nokia 7020 phone. I cannot find any help in the userguide, only how to change ring tones. Anyone have any idea? Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    On my Lumia 900, it's under Settings -> ringtones+sounds, scroll to the bottom where there is a list of check boxes, and uncheck "Key press".  Not sure it's the same for your phone, though.

  • Lg chocolate touch - how do I turn off data when traveling international?

    I m going to travel international and will not be using data and don't want to get high data charges abroad, so I want to disable data before I leave and re-enable when I return. How is that done on the LG Chocolate Touch? I did not see any references to turning off data is the user manual.
    Thanks.

        I understand your concern to bypass roaming charges! Please share your travel destination, so I may advise accordingly.  There is no option on your current device to simply disable/enable data.  I suggest not accessing any data, disabling any email account and subscriptions that automatically use data.  Thank you.

  • Quick question - shortcut to turn off mac when completely frozen?

    I'm not talking about force quiting - I mean when everything is jammed and the only option is to turn the power off. I'm sure there is a shortcut for this - similar to the one for the pram reset something like applealt+pr but different letters?

    After which you should really restart from the install disk and run a Disk Repair from Disk Utility: every time I get a freeze I do this (in fact I run Applejack which is quicker) and it almost always shows up some error which needs repairing.
    yes, that's a very good point.

  • How can I turn off sleep when an iPod is connected?

    Is there a way to make a PowerMac running MacOS X 10.4.2 NOT go to sleep when an iPod is connected? I can only charge my iPod by connecting it to the USB bus of the computer. The first time I was charging it, my Mac put the display to sleep and I couldn't get it to wake up. I eventually had to shut down my Mac and then reboot it.
    I'd like to be able to set my Mac to sleep normally when nothing is connected but to stay awake with the iPod connected. Is this possible?

    I don't know about sleeping specifically when the iPod is connected, but I do know that you can set the sleep timing to never in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver. Manually setting up sleep can be done via the Apple menu. There may be a way to check with the terminal if the iPod is a mounted volume, though that would be a Unix command that I'm not familiar with. You may be able to find it via the man pages here:

  • Dropcam & MAC Filtering-How do I turn off MAC Filtering?

    I'm tryting to connect my Dropcam to my Airport so I can use it wirelessly.  The Dropcam needs to have MAC Filtering disabled.  How do I disable MAC Filtering? 
    I'm using WEP Personal2.  Do I need to use something else?

    MAC filtering is not enabled by default on the AirPorts. If it is enabled, it would be via Access Control in the AirPort Utility.

  • How do you turn off audio when coming back to a branched slide?

    I have audio on a slide (like the main menu) and I want the learners to return to this slide when they get to the end of a section. However, I don't want the audio to replay. I tried creating an advanced interaction to stop the triggered audio but that isn't working. Does anyone have another approach for making this happen?
    Thank you!
    Tara

    Is this audio attached to the slide, then there is no way to stop the audio when you enter the slide a second time. The statement 'Stop triggered audio' - which tells me that you are using CP6 - will only stop audio that has been started with 'Play audio'. Both are new statements. Do not add the audio to the slide, but create this condtional action to be triggered on entering that slide:
    I checked it as you can see, and it works,

  • How to turn off alarms when iCal is not running

    iCal-Version 4.0.4 (1395)
    Imagine giving a lecture supported by powerpoint in front of an audience, all applications turned off except of powerpoint, and suddenly popping up the iCal alarm message "meet her (xy) in the pub". How can I turn off alarms when iCal is NOT running?
    cheers
    knatterton

    Hey!  I was DJ'ing and an iCal alarm went off even though I'd selected to have alarms not go off when iCal is not running.  Now that option isn't there anymore!  Can I revert to the previous version of iCal?  I don;t see any other new features that are worth not having interruptions during DJ'ing and presentations!  I know that if I turn off all alarms, I will forget.  I'd create an alarm to remind me to turn it back on, but...  This is REALLY annoying.
