How do i turn off the on-screen pop-ups and hint windows

I do a lot of copy/paste from websites. When I double click on something I get a very annoying link window (little pop-up) to google or wikipedia. I must be able to shut those off; they are interfering with my work. If I can't, I'll be forced back to I.E.
Also, I get these little 'tool tips' as I scroll across the screen. I use two screens, and I use the side bar (for example) As I move from the right screen to the left I get a tool tip telling me how to us it. I ALREADY KNOW.
I'm really annoyed at the number of things flashing up on my screen as I work, that I can't get shut off. They must go away, or FireFox will not work for me.

Co-el, This wasn't possible as there wasn't a navigation bar available. The F11 did the trick though. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

  • How do you turn off the mail preview pop ups, that appear when you open mail since downloading iOS 7?

    Since downloading iOS 7, whenever I open the mail app, I am getting pop up previews of all the unread mail that I have asking me if I wish to either dismiss, or read the message. When I have quite a few emails, this can be an annoying, & time consuming task, which is totally unnecessary, as because I am opening the mail app, of course I am going to read or dismiss the emails.

  • How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on 3GS

    How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?

    Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
    Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification.

  • How do I turn off the preview screen for my in box with my email?

    When I open up my email I don't want to see part of the message showing at the bottom of the screen. All I want to see are the new and old addressed messages. I had this turned off but for some reason it has come back and I can't remember how I got rid of it.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Press''' F8'''.
    It is on the Menu Bar also.

  • For a new file message how do I turn off the full screen display. I dont know how I turned it on. Thank You.

    When I want to send a new email I click on file and then new message. Somehow, and I dont know how I have done this, it has gone into the full screen mode. I cant find in the right hand top corner the two arrows, pointing in opposite directions,to minimise the screen back to its "normal" position. Its very frustrating . I cant find anything other than the full screen. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Apple Windows Linux the menus for this are all the same. However it your talking getting rid of the apple menu. Then that is really an apple issue.

  • How can I turn off the 101ncmdt on my camera and just have a camera

    my phone camera use to work very well and some how it got some other thing when I go to camera and it is called 101NCMDT. Now all my photos go to this mode instead of just camera. Because of this I can not send pictures to a lot of people. I hate it and just want my old simple camera on my phone back. It has also made the camera take pictures slower and it is very frustrating.          who am I writing to anyway?

        Let's get your camera working again, 1knarlysurfrat. That's definitely a strange mode. What phone do you have? Did you download any new applications before this started?

  • How do I turn off the screen lock feature on my IPhone 4S?

    How do I turn off the lock screen feature on my IPhone4S?

    You mean the passcode lock, or just the generic lock that requires no passcode?
    For passcode lock, go Settings > General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and then disable the feature.
    For normal screen lock, go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock, and set it to 'Never'.
    Now your iPhone will only screen lock when you press the 'Sleep/Wake' button.

  • Turning off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes

    Quick question: How do I turn off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes. Is this even possible? Are there settings I am overlooking? Or perhaps a third-party app which can make it happen?
    I have a large library and often leave my iPad connected to iTunes for several hours at a stretch. The bright glowing screen can be a big distraction, and, more importantly I am very worried about pixel burn-in.
    Cheers,

    The iPad LED Backlit IPS Screen is not phosphor-based, so there is no permanent phosphor burn-in problem. You might see some image persistence, but that is not permanent and can be corrected. See this support article about image persistence: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807
    Since you have already converted your music to 128 kbps, you are unlikely to see any more 10+ hour syncs unless you have to do a restore. In that event, you could select the brightness control in settings to the lowest level.
    FYI, there are some apps, such as Night stand HD that are designed to be used for long periods with unvarying displays and I have yet to see image persistence problems reported. However, since the iPad is still a new product, there may be some reports in the future.

  • How can I turn off the Illustrator CC 2014 hello screen permanently?

    I just upgraded to Illustrator CC 2014, and I'm somewhat baffled by the apparent inability to turn off the hello screen. Maybe it's easy, but I don't see how to do it.
    Under the "Help" menu I do see a check mark beside "Hello...", but clicking it does not turn the hello screen off. When I shut down the screen using the red x in the panel's upper left corner, it does go away, and it can be turned back on using the "Help" menu entry. I just don't want it to appear... ever. I'd love to be able to use Illustrator the way I want to and not feel the need to close that superfluous panel every time I open the software.
    Thanks ahead of time for any input.

    @ThePorge - are you sure you're looking at the bottom of the "Getting Started", "New Features", or "Tips & Techniques" panel?  You'll need to scroll down to the bottom of them to see the footer where this checkbox is located.  (Its not in the Create panel at all.)  If you can't find it, its possible the software thinks you're a trial user for some reason.  Do you see a Days Left in Your Trial countdown in the upper right corner of the Welcome screen?  That would indicate it thinks you're a trial user.  Can you attach a screen shot?

  • How do I turn off the blue stand by screen

    I like to leave the TV on for my dogs while I'm at work during the day or when I go out of town. When I get home, all the TVs are silent and showing a blue ATT screen. I could turn the screen saver off when I had DishTV. Can someone tell me how to turn off the blue screen with Uverse? Thanks for the help.

    Believe me, I've thought about a radio, but it just isn't the same. I like having the light dancing around and people talking at night in case someone might be passing by or what ever. It looks and sounds more occupied with at least the TV on. (Cheap security device) We usually leave it on Turner Classic Movies, the old black & white classics. Believe it or not, when UV goes to blue screen in the middle of the night, our cocker spaniel starts to wail. Go figure. Anyway, I'm looking for a remote that will do micros. I've contacted Logitec Tech Suppt and I'm waiting on a real person to respond. Almost seems like I should just wait till my two years are up and go back to Dish .?.?.?Thanks for all the help.Is the given TV an HDTV?  (not an HD ready TV, but an HDTV), if so, the TV itself shouldn't have a screensaver mode, so you could always connect an antenna (using the internal ATSC tuner) for the pets and security, then just switch over to U-verse when you want to watch TV 

  • How do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen

    how do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen ?

    Only by hiding the camera via Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. That hides the camera when unlocked unless you go to Restrictions  and unset that Restriction. That is not way currently from just preventing camera access only from the lock screen

    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.
