    First thing this morning my computer is frozen, it won't turn off or restart.  I don't have any programs open.

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • HT5362 How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates? 'App Store' doesn't show in the list of notification apps. I want the background checks for updates, just not the notifications.

    How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates?
    In the 'Notifications' section of the 'System Preferences' app, there is no tab for managing the notifications of System Updates nor App Store.
    Hey--- I like auto-checking for updates, and hey--- I like auto-downloading them in the background.
    BUT I do not like being notified of updates in the middle of working! Especially when it's iTunes updates. Grrrr.
    Any chance this is easy and I just missed it?
    THANKS COMMUNITY!

  • How do I turn off alerts to a calendar that I have turned off in iCloud?

    I have added my iCloud account to my son's iPod and only have the Family Calendar turned on but he keeps receiving alerts for every appointment in my Personal Calendar....how do I turn off the alerts for the calendar that he doesn't even have turned on?

    Csound1, he does have his own account and I added my iCloud account as a second one with only the Family Calendar turned on however he is still receiving alerts for all of my events in the Personal Calendar.  I'm wondering if 'sharing' the calendar rather than having him logged into my iCloud calendar would help?  He's not the only one either, my daughter and husband have the same set up and I keep getting calls from my husband saying "oh, are you going to pick up the drycleaning now?" hahaha!  Even though that Personal Calendar is turned off, they keep getting the alerts..argh!!

  • How can I set a permanent default language for Firefox's spellcheck feature, so that I don't have to keep manually selecting the spellcheck language I want?

    I have a few languages installed, and Firefox's spellcheck seems to decide which language to use ''at random''. So I have to keep manually selecting the language I want. 99% of the time I want English. So how can I set English as a permanent default language, and leave the manual selection for those infrequent occasions when I want another language spellchecked?

    Firefox should store the last used dictionary in the spellchecker.dictionary pref that you can check on the about:config page.

  • How do I turn off "Activation Lock" from found I pod Touch?

    I have found my Ipod ouch (fifth generation) by use of Icloud, but now I can not turn the "Activation Lock" removed from my device. The device keeps on typing letters rapidly in the space I am to iput my apple password.  I have used several procedures fro apple support to restore my device to no avail, , but by following a procedure called DFU in a blog. I was able (I thought) to rest the Ipod and sync with Itune, but the problem sitill exists and I do not have control of the Ipod (half of digital keyboard is covered with vertical color lines and keyboard is self typing in the password space) Also I have not been able to turn find my Ipod off in the devive.  I cloud is no help after I removed the device following one of apple's support procedures
    Appreciate Any help.

    You're welcome.  Activation lock looks like the image below.  There shouldn't be any verticle lines.  You have to enter the ID (which is only partially shown) and password that were used to originally activate the device in order to reactivate it.

  • How can i turn off find my iphone if i dont have the phone and its turned off

    i lost my phone, so activated find my iphone and also put the lock on it. the battery died so the fone is now off. i ended up buying a new phone and im trying to restore the latest computer back up onto the new fone but it is saying that i need to turn off find my iphone. i went to icloud and removed the lost device but because it is turned off its not working . is there any way around this or at least getting my photos and contacts onto my new fone. and i dont have anything saved on icloud

    after ive connected the phone to itunes and i click on restore backup a box pops u and says
    Find my iphone must be turned off before 'My Iphone' can be restored.
    Go to icloud settings on you iphone and turn off Find my Iphone before restoring your iphone.
    the first time this came up i went into icloud on my computer and removed the old phone from there but from what ive read it will only be properly removed when the fone gets turned back on.

    If you log in automatically, a known bug will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image at every startup. The only workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
    Linc, I have seven user accounts on my machine and they all experience the same issue. What I have noticed is that if an account is the only one logged in the selected picture is retained. If any other account is logged in the next user to login sees the default desktop picture. Automatic login is not enabled. This leads me to believe the bug is not limited to automatic logins. It will be intersting to see what happens when 10.9.1 hits the street.
    There also seem to be several other threads reporting this behavior.

    I have read your post on how you are looking to disable the caps lock/number lock notification on your desktop's display screen, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    In order to remove HPKEYBOARD status from your startup programs, you will need to disable by following this document on Using Microsoft System Configuration (Windows 7). The Quick Launch application responsible for HPKEYBOARD should be among the services to disable.
