How do I turn off spacebar scroll down?

Everytime I try to type in safari and hit the space bar the page scrolls down. Also when I hit the delete button while typing it automatically goes to the previous page.

No they don't. This is a user to user forum. Apple does not participate.

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 do I turn off the drop-down menu on the back button?

I use a laptop and my hands aren't too dextrous. Every time I click the "back" button I get the drop down menu, which means I then need to move my hand back to the pad (slowly!) move the pointer, and try again. It can take me several attempts to go back one site now!
I have searched for hours to find out how to turn this drop down menu off, to no avail, and even looked through all the settings in about:config in an attempt to find a way around this. It seriously impacts my ability to use my laptop on the web now, so if anyone can please come up with a way to get back to the old back button, with no menu when my slow old finger cannot move fast enough to get off the button, I would be very grateful.

You can use that list and open the previous tab just above the one that appears bold and has a bullet.
The current active entry has a bullet in front of it.<br />
If you hover an entry in the tab session history list with the mouse then you see an arrow at the left side pointing left (Back) or right (Forward) to show the direction.<br />
You can left click an item to open it in the current tab or middle-click or Ctrl left-click an entry in that list to open that link in new tab, just like you can with other links.<br />

How do I turn off horizontal scrolling for Magic Mouse?

I tried a few of adjustments under preferences but nothing seems to work.

I have tried this three times... copying and pasting into Terminal, hitting "Return" and then restarting.. with no luck?
Horizontal scrolling is horrible while using In Design.
I have a new Retia iMac... could this be why Terminal isn't defeating the horizontal scrolling?
I'm ready (very ready) to go back to my Microsoft Mouse with much less touchy horizontal scrolling.
Thanks!

How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut. I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection. All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again. The big arrowhead just get's in the way. The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down. If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences? I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

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

HT4314 how do I turn off a game after playing so the app won't run down my battery?

How do I turn off a game after playing it so the app won't run down the battery. This has happened 2x and I have had to reset my phone.

To completely close an app (though a lot of apps don't remain active when you switch into a different app or go to the homescreen) : from the home screen (i.e. not with the app that you want to close 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

How can I turn off a specific keyboard shortcut?

We use a 3rd party vendor's platform to create/maintain content on our school website. When writing stories, I often use standard editing shortcuts (such as command-B for bold, command-I for italic, etc.). But when I hit command-B in the new FF 4.0 release, the bookmarks window opens - so I now need to use the pulldown menu to make this standard command. And it just slows me down.
Any idea how I can turn off this feature?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
No.
Please read my post, i'm asking how to turn off the specific shortcut in my original post, not assign actions to the mouse buttons (i know how to do that). I'm aware i can simply turn off the scroll wheel function altogether from the mouse preferences but i don't want to lose that function.
I want to know how to turn off the SHIFT + SCROLL WHEEL CLICK shortcut that switches the screen to the widget screen.

HT2978 how do you turn off genius for apps ios 6 pleasssss help my appstore keeps on crashing

how do you turn off genius for apps ios 6 pleasssss help my appstore keeps on crashing

What you are saying is true but it will not always work. The aap store is dead. Wen I go to the fret urged page I see a white screen. I should be able to scroll down to the bottom and select View Apple ID but can't. This is on my wife's iPad and she thought after she upgraded to iOS 6.0 when it prompted her to turn on Genius that's what caused the trouble and she wanted to turn off Genius. NO CAN DO in App Store.
To turn off Genius I had to go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID xxxxx then click view Apple ID then I can turn Genius off and on.
But the did not fix the problem with the App Store which is still dead.

How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

Hi,
Open the Messages app.
Go to the Preferences item in the app's Menu.
Select the account pane in the Preferences.
Each active account should have a tick in the Enable this Account box.
This can be unticked.
This will stop accounts logging in but will not stop the app Launching in certain circumstances.
First of all check the app is Quit before shutting down the computer.
The fact the app is open even if all windows are hidden can cause the app to restart when you Start up the computer.
Messages is a Multiple window app and using the red button on the top left of a window only closes that window and does not Quit the app.
Also check the System Preferences > Users and Groups > your account > Login Items tab.
This will list items that are set to Start up when the computer does.
I have a couple of External Drive on other computers, some Anti Virus software and the common iTunes Helper plus an old version of TextExpander that will work if I launch the Preference Pane this way.
