How do I turn off Picture Sharing? I want to send ...

As above, recently I can't send images the same way as other files. I want the receiver to get the file directly. Right now Skype uploads the image to some website and also changes the file name, which is a big problem for me. Also it's very impractical for the receiver to have to open the link all the time.

HT4527 The computer that has my i Tunes library has crashed, How do I turn off Home Sharing on this computer and tranfer my files to another computer?

How do i turn off home sharing and transfer my ITunes library to another computer?

Your music will only be where you put it. You can download the itunes program and sign into your account on any computer, but your music/content will not be there unless you put it there.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases

I have an old computer that died, how do I turn off home sharing on that computer so that I can gain back 1 of my 5 shares for my new computer?

As far as I know you don't need to turn off home sharing as such, however you will have lost one of the 5 "authorizations". You can't release these individually unless you are running iTunes on the authorized operating system you want to deauthorize.
You will have to wait until you have 5 authorizations, at which point you can clear them all and start over, reauthorizing the machines you want to.

How do your turn off home sharing on a ipod

I have to iPods and I would like to turn off home sharing off how can I turn it off

Welcome to the Apple Community.It isn't home sharing that matters here. I suspect you are wanting to either de authorise a computer or remove a associated device from your ID, you can do both of these in your iTunes account settings on a computer.

How can i turn off library sharing remotely because i cant remember all the computers or systems

I want to be able to add my new computer to my library sharing however it will not let me. It says i already have 5 computers on the system. My question is as i said, how if possible can I turn off the connection to the other computers?

This isssue is about authorisation rather than home sharing.
You can't de-authorise just the computers you no longer have access to.
Your only option is to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise those you wish to be authorised. You can do this by logging into your account settings in iTunes on your computer (Store > View My ID) and selecting the option to de-authorise all.
Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes.

How can I turn off all sharing on my Macbook

I am a new Mac user and although I love it I am unfamiliar with the sharing options and how they work. I haven't gotten a clear answer yet but my question is how can I ensure that I am not sharing any of my files. I can see other users who are sharing. Will other users still be able to see me if I am not sharing and how do I turn it off. Thank You.

Go to System Preferences -> Sharing. If everything there is turned off, nobody can access any of your files remotely.
For that matter, even if you have stuff turned on, if it's all configured correctly, someone would need to know a password to access anything.

How do you turn off the sharing of emails of Lion to iCloud?

Is it possible to turn off the automatic sharing to iCloud in OS10.7? If this is possible I would like to know how.

Yes you are correct, however when you do that it also removes your me email address and its mail from your computer. That should be a preference of the individual user. Just because Apple wants to push everything to the cloud doesnot mean we all want everything to the cloud. In order fo rme to keep that email address I was forced to go to Lion, before you realize it all of your .me email goes to the cloud.

How do I turn off Home Sharing / Switch Back to Local Library?

Last night I turned ON Home Sharing on my iPhone and switched (in the Music/iPod app) my library on the phone to use the Shared Library on my iMac. It works great and I have no issues, except...
Now, that I am away from home (and my network), I am unable to access any of the locally stored content on my iPhone and I can't figure out a way to change the library back to the local (iPhone) media library as the "Shared" button doesn't appear while I am not connected.
Am I stuck in the Shared Library until I get home and connect to my home share or is there a way to make the switch back to local storage while not connected?

I found a similar thread and it has answered my question.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16668040#16668040
Restarting the phone will reset it back to the local library. It works, but as the other thread points out it seems a little silly that you can't do it without a restart.

HT4865 how do i turn off icloud sharing of my messages, and contacts with all devices on my account? I just want it to save each one individually

i was on an account with itunes and icloud with my brother, but i got a new phone and a created a new ID for both. today my brother was getting copies of all my text on his iphone, and it then synced both our contacts to each others phone.

How do I turn off home sharing on devices I can no longer access?

I have an old iPhone and an old PC which I no longer have access to (the iPhone is broken beyond fixing and the pc I gave up on months ago)
I would like to remove them from my home sharing list to open up room. With the two unused devices I have the max limit of 5. I am planning on purchasing an iPad soon and would like to add it to my home sharing, but with at the present it is impossible.
Thanks for your help!

Can't turn off printer sharing in 10.4.7

I came in this morning to check on my lab computers and noticed a ton of duplicate printers on my network. I narrowed it down to a single computer, but I can't seem to turn off Printer Sharing in System Preferences. The only thing I changed recently was upgrade/install the latest version of CUPS.
Any suggestions on how I can turn off Printer Sharing? Is there a command line cmd to turn it off?

Just to make sure you didn't overlook the obvious (we all do it more often than we care to admit). Can you toggle the other services in the Sharing pane? Perhaps you just need to click on the padlock and authenticate before you can make changes.
Second thing to try. Make sure System Preferences is not open. Look in the user's Home folder/Library/Caches. Find a cache item com.apple.preferencepanes.cache. Delete this item. Log the user out and log back in. Now open System Preferences and see if you can make the changes.
Third thing to try. Here are the items that get changed in the /etc/cups/cupds.conf file when you turn Printer Sharing OFF---
line 55 becomes
ServerName 127.0.0.1
lines 453 and 454 become
#Port 631
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
line 581 becomes
#BrowseAddress @LOCAL
line 635 becomes
BrowseInterval 0
line 826 Allow From @LOCAL
is deleted and the block from line 822 through 826 becomes
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>
All these changes are taken from a modification of the default cupsd.conf as supplied with the version of CUPS Apple supplies with Tiger. The cupsd.conf that comes with version 1.2.x is most likely different. You will have to do some comparison and interpretation.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Don't forget to recycle the cupsd whenever you make a change to the configuration file.
sudo killall -HUP cupsd

Cannot turn off Printer Sharing???

Hi there,
I've been busy configuring our Macs in work to use the printers dotted around the office. I've been successful apart from one little annoyance that I cannot figure out. How do you turn off Printer Sharing?
I'm using CUPS 1.2.11 and printing to a Xerox DocuColor 3535 and a DocuColor 5252 using IP Printing via LPR.
Does Printer Sharing need to be on, hence why every time I turn it off it reverts back to being on??
Jamie Kelly

Hi greg,
I posted a message before but it has disappeared, so please forgive me if there are two posts that have the same information.
I was advised by one of our Xerox engineers to upgrade CUPS to the current version. He actually said I should upgrade to version 1.3 but since it is a beta I thought I'd stick with 1.2.11 for now. Sadly it appears he was wrong and I shouldn't have upgraded.
It also appears I didn't read your response correctly. I can turn off printer sharing individually (for each printer) by doing as you advised and 'Unpublish' each printer. However, global printer sharing (in System Preferences/Sharing) is still ON and it won't switch off. Even more worrying is this - although Printer Sharing is on, the firewall hasn't opened the Printer Sharing port, and I can't manually open it because it is set to automatically open when Printer Sharing is switched on.
So now Printer Sharing is stuck on but the firewall will not open the port. Can I edit anything in the CUPS server configuration file to disable Printer Sharing? The information in my configuration file (taken from http://127.0.0.1:631/admin?op=config-server) is below:

How do I turn off password to send photo in iPhoto.

How can I turn off password requirement when trying to send photo by iPhoto.?
Appreciate any help..

there is no password requirement for iPhoto - you probably are seeing an incorrect password for your email - in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete and rented your email account
