How do I turn off the multiple windows aero peek feature for CS5 on Windows 7?

I'm not sure if this only happens with floated windows but in Photoshop CS5, when I have multiple files open, each one of those files have their own windows open on the Windows 7 taskbar. I'd like it all to be combined as one like how it was in CS4. I searched through the preferences and couldn't find anything related to this problem. Does anybody know how I can turn this off?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Out of curiosity, how long ago was that? I'm guessing not long.
That you chose not to use Vista is also part of the problem. Many things in Windows 7's UI are evolved from Vista's changes. You're viewing Windows 7 from the perspective of one who has changed suddenly from XP, and that is no doubt a shock.
You also expect it to be a system that facilitates work, and that's a fundamental problem. Windows is now first and foremost an entertainment vehicle for the masses. Those of us wanting to use it for real work have to work at it to tune it up for that task.
If you sense the resource usage of Windows 7 Aero then quite possibly your computer isn't up to the task. When run with a good video interface Aero becomes smooth and instantly responsive, and that (with a few tweaks besides) actually makes using Windows quite a pleasure. It definitely can be made to get out of the way and lets you concentrate on the work.
The basic trouble is, Microsoft doesn't make changing to any new version of their operating system an easy task...
As a career computer/software engineer, I chose to understand Windows 7 from the inside-out (for the first time ever I ran the beta versions in a virtual machine, to get used to it). I've had to find dozens of tweaks and turn off a number of things that shouldn't be running.
AFTER ALL THAT I can say Windows 7 is a dynamite system, that often outperforms XP (both in compute power and in UI performance). And it's more stable than any version of Windows to date.
I can only encourage you to stay with it. It may take a year or more, but it really does grow on you. On my main Windows 7 workstation I run virtual machines with XP and Vista almost daily for development testing, so I haven't forgotten their UIs, and I sure would never want to go back!

How do i turn off the auto delete when played feature in new update?

how do I turn off the auto delete after playing an item in latest update?

After the disaster of iTunes 11.1 that deleted nearly all my archived podcasts (recovered from backup thankfullly) I was shocked, but not altogether surprised, to see that the option to delete played episodes has been enabled/re-enabled by default.
From the lower right of the Podcasts window click Settings then, if needed, click Defaults, then turn Delete Played Episodes to Off.
Why set the destructive option as the default?
I have many episodes that I want to keep that are no longer available at their feed so the last thing I want is any automatic delete process to be enabled.

How do I turn off the tab bar in FF 24 when only one window is open?

I have just updated to FF 24.0 from FF 20 with Tab Mix Plus already installed. (OSX 10.6.8) From the Firefox Preferences menu, Tabs box, I have set the "Hide the tab bar:" option to "When I have only one tab." I have also gone to the Tab Mix Plus option box and set the drop down to the same value. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the desired effect. Firefox opens to my home page with a tab at the bottom. (I prefer the tabs at the bottom and that setting still works.) With only one page open, that tab is completely unnecessary, takes up space, and just plain bugs me.
Now, here's what I have found. Once I've started Firefox, if I go to the Tab Mix Plus options box and select "Hide the tab bar: Always" and then set the option back to "When I have only one tab" I can enjoy one page without the tab bar, that is, until I've opened several tabs and then closed all but one. Then I see the tab bar stubbornly remain. An incompatibility between FF and Tab Mix Plus, perhaps. Is FF 24 not letting Tab Mix see the number of open tabs? Dunno. But I can't seem to solve it.

Are you saying that the problem lies not with Firefox but with Tab Mix Plus? Tab Mix worked up through FF 20 to my knowlege. And I see from other questions that the persistant tab bar was an issue with FF 23 as well.
Please note, that setting aside the extension issue, the Firefox preference Tab option should turn off the tab option when there is only one window open without any help from addons or extensions. I have disabled Tab Mix Plus, and set the FF option correctly, but the problem remains. As I see it, FF is not working as this user expects it to and is (slightly) broken.

How do I turn off the fancy flick and pinch features in the iPad?

I'm using my iPad with my son who is severely physically handicapped. He can't do a simple single finger tap and instead uses all five fingers on the pad while moving his hand back and forth. This actually works just fine within the apps he wants to play with, however he often accidentally switches apps, pulls down the calendar, or pulls up more options because he is accidentally performing fancy moves on the pad by mistake. Can I turn off those features - or maybe lock the screen so it's "stuck" in one app and can't move to another by accident?

You can turn off the multitasking gestures which may be causing the screen to move form app to app when he swipes left to right or swipes up from the bottom.
Go to Settings>General>Multitasking gestures>Off. That should help some.
Unfortuantely - You can't turn off the notification center - the calendar that pulls down from the top. If you swipe down from the top, that is always going to appear on the screen.
And there is no way to simply lock into one app. You can lock the screen orientation via the side switch or in the task bar at the bottom of the iPad - double tap the home button and swipe to the right to find the screen lock icon all the way on the left - it isn't locked by the side switch.
There may be iPad cases that will aid you in preventing your son from accidentally performing these screen movements with his hands, however, you would have to search for those with a Google search or maybe post a more specific question in this help site in order to get input from others in similar circumstances. You need something along the lines of a kiosk case - but one that allows more freedom of touch.

How do I turn off the Log In Screen that asks for my Password?

I recently installed FCP 6 on my MBP, and ever since then when I turn my computer on from being shut down, it ask me for my password before loading up.
It used to not do this, but now it does. I don't have a password set, so I just hit enter and it loads, but I would like for it to go back to where it doesn't ask for the password.
Where is this setting at? All I can find is the "set password from sleep". Thanks for the help.

System Preferences -> Accounts panel -> Login Options -> click the lock and enter admin password -> click to select your accountname in left pane -> select that accountname to login automatically.

How do I turn off the downloads window?

How do I turn off the downloads window? I recently upgraded FF, hated the new one, so downgraded back. When I upgraded I got the new downloads ribbon at the bottom of the screen and no longer had the downloads window. However, for whatever reason I decided to turn the window on. But when I downgraded I realized that this interferes with programs that I had previously set up to download directly to a certain program. Bottom line... I do NOT want the downloads window.

I know you can go to Tools, then Options, and click the Downloads tab and configure how you want it that way. Do you have the Download Manager Tweak as an add on?

How do I turn off the automated Adobe Cloud ID window that opens everytime I turn on my computers. Do NOT subscribe to CC. HELP.

How do I turn off the automated Adobe Cloud ID window that opens every time I turn on my computers. I want this annoying window to stop appearing. I do not and will not subscribe to "Adobe Cloud" but the program (all 197 MB) somehow found it's way onto both my computers. Nefarious at the least.
I'm afraid to uninstall the "adobe cloud" programs from my computers because I fear that they are linked to my stand alone version of cs6 and my somehow corrupt the operation of my cs6.
HELP. PLEASE.

Have you installed any trial of Adobe CC because in all probability the auto prompt to purchase CC appears when the trial run ends.?
The stand alone version of CS6 is not going to be affected if you uninstall the trial CC.

How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces? - It's making me sick!

How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?
Can I do this through the terminal somehow?
I have three monitors and the transition effect is giving me motion sickness.

Hi,
I'm afraid there does not appear to be anyway of turning off the sliding transition in spaces. There's no option to turn it off or to change it to another effect.
I use spaces all the time as I have a 15" MacBook Pro and it's incredibly useful to have a screen dedicated to e-mail and IM and another for Safari and two other screens for applications. There's just not enough screen real estate for all those windows. I think Spaces is one of the most useful user features of Mac OS X.
Maybe we should send in a feature request to Apple? I used to use some third party software to do the same before Spaces was released and it had a selection of transitions or none at all.
Personally, I'm now used to the transitions but as I don't have multiple monitors perhaps I'm being spared the motion sickness!
Good luck.

How do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

how do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

You don't. You may find some third-party software that will, however. Try Auto Mute.
Alternatively, you can try this:
I think this is the best and simplest solution. Open a Terminal window and type (or copy/paste) the following to turn down the startup noise:
sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume="%00"
Press RETURN.
And to restore it to the original value type:
sudo nvram -d SystemAudioVolume
Press RETURN.
That's all folks.

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.
