How do you disable backup assistant?
Does anyone know how to disable backup assistant? It doesn't work very well for me and I don't want it messing up
my contacts on my phone anymore. Thanks, Geoff
How do you turn of the backup assistant on Droid X that is causing issues regarding Contacts?
On your phone, go to Settings (it’s the left button on the bottom of the phone)
Then click on ‘Settings;
Then click on ‘Accounts’
There you should see an account referring to an email account.If you don’t see an account referring to an email account, I recommend that you go to a ‘Verizon’ store where they can assist you.
If there is an account referring to an email account, click on that account.
You should see links for ‘Sync Books’, ‘Sync Contacts’, ‘Sync Gmail (for example), and ‘Sync Calendar’If you do not see an account you are looking for, I suggest that you go to a ‘Verizon’ store where they can assist you.
If you have found the account(s) you are looking for, make sure that the check box for that account is ‘greyed out’. If not, the click on that account and ‘grey ou the check box’.
For those who are having issues with syncing there’re ‘Contacts’ between Gmail and their Droid X, this should solve that issue. This has been successfully tested.

How do you fix Backup Assistant Plus Lost Network
I have a Samsung S4 Mini. It came with Verizon's Backup Assistant Plus installed. I believe it should backup my contacts to a Verizon server somewhere. However, since the day I got the phones, Backup Assistant Plus fails every night with a "Lost Network Connection. Please Try Again". It doesn't matter if it connected by WiFi or Verizon 4g data. The error will happen if the Sync Contacts is checked or un-checked. The only options for this app are a check box for Sync Contacts and the Sync Time. There isn't any option to Remove Account, Disable, or Un-install. I've tried Clear Data and Clear Cache. There is some vague information on Verizon saying the Verizon Cloud replaces Backup Assistant Plus. I enabled Verizon Cloud and it seems to backup my contacts ok. But Backup Assistant Plus continues to attempt and fail.
- I do not want Verizon backing up anything, How do I disable, or remove Backup Assistant Plus?
- If I can't remove Backup Assistant Plus, How do I stop the constant Backup Assistant Plus failures?
- If Verizon Cloud replaces Backup Assistant Plus, why is it still installed and running?
- And the obvious question - - Why does Verizon insist on backing up my contacts whether I want to or not?I just had a similar problem and tried many of the steps on these Blogs. None of them worked. But I did get it working by turning on my Data. I normally keep Data off and use WiFi as much as possible so the Sync was failing and I was getting the Lost Network notice. But as soon as I turned on Data it started uploading and downloading my contacts. That was all BAP. But I could go to the Cloud and update via WiFi just fine.
So, why did I still work to get BAP working? BAP was stuck in a loop to try and get the Backup done. Since it couldn't it tried repeatedly and I believe it is why my battery was draining more rapidly than normal. Hopefully by turning on DATA the battery may last longer. If not I need to turn BAP to manual backups only. I hope I can find out how to do that.

How do I disable Setup Assistant in Accessibility?
How do I disable Setup Assistant in Accessibility? It has completely ruined the look of the page.
Sandy,
I've viewed the link you posted, but that method does not seem to apply to my particular phone. Please consider the version numbers of my phone which I posted above. When I view the Options for Backup Assistant - cancelling my subscription or uninstalling is not an option. The only available Backup Assistant options are:
* Set Schedule
* View Mobile #
* Change PIN
* Help
* About
I suspect this is because Backup Assistant was pre-installed on my phone when I received it.
As a preemptive strike to what I'm guessing you will suggest next, I do not believe performing a "Restore Phone" (a.k.a. Factory Reset) on my phone will allow me to uninstall Backup Assistant either. I believe I saw a post where another LG Cosmos 3 user had tried this, and Backup Assistant was there even after the Restore Phone.
Regardless, I like your enthusiasm. I agree, let's fix this!
Thanks,

How do you disable - hotsync manager window's fade out on close?
For the newer version of Palm Desktop and Hotsync Manager, how do you make the hotsync manager window stop fading out when closed or "done".
It stops me from being able to access ANYTHING until the fade is completed, and that is a complete waste of my time, also when I have much more important things going on (alarms/alerts) that can't be silenced during the fade.
And ... how do you disable the splash screen startup for the Palm Desktop, and how do you get the palm desktop to conform to standard windows start practices, so that when you open the program it comes up on the screen at the same windowed size I closed it at?
Thanks!!
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)Thank you ... however it was already set for "normal window". I deleted the icon and recreated and that seemed to fix it though, not sure why.
As for the splash ... its a waste of time ... the application loads faster than "they" would expect so all it does is extra advertizing for Access without having a purpose. And again, its not just a second or so, its 3 to 5 seconds depending on what else I'm doing.. and if I'm reading an email while double clicking the icon to have it start on my second monitor.. the spash covers my email till the program's running.
The worse delay is the fade. You already admit that it can vary depending on a number of things.. well that programmer may have thought it were very cool on a quad core intel @ 3 GHz .... try it on a 1 G p3, with an older video card. Or try it on an older laptop .... the delay is 6 to 10 seconds while it fades it self to the nethers, it certainly didn't "CLOSE" when I told it to.. it took its dear sweet time.
The programmer probably thought "hey this is really cool mahn.. watch it fade away..." by the third time of being into or out of the settings that re-triggers the closing fade, I was ready to kill that programmer. Make him suffer for the stupidity of his vision. Its one thing to make it "cool" and give people the option to live with that plain jane every day FASTER response... and quite the other to force people to relive your "cool" idea every f**king day, every time they go into settings, or need to see the log for what failed on backup.. etc.
Ever go upto a windows XP pc when someone says it seems slow and *de-select* the "FADE" option for their menus?? (Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> deselect "use the following transition") I have ... and its amazing how perception changes because the menus are there NOW, not taking their time to pull off some grandious entrance ... the first time it may have been cool.. but by the 500 th time you've been into your start menu a year into the game.. that slow fade crap is working on your every nerve.
Poor impulse control would have had me killing the programmer that put that fade in there.. now I just want to put him in for an hour or two of waterboarding.
It was bad programming to force some idiots idea of a "cool" view on people, and the programmer should be shot down for it. It shouldn't be... and it wasn't there before, so some mornon actually went out of their way to put something in because the program just wasn't "cool" enough for them.. and then they decided to F the rest of us by making it so we couldn't DEselect that slice of programmers heaven.
It may sound like I'm blowing things out of proportion... but really, it was fine the way it was, now they've gone and F'd it up. Moves for the better get little publicity, you have to live with the knowledge no one is bitching, but when you screw something up ... you need to fix it and need to hear how badly your lack of vision made things for others.
and.. if they wont' fix it.. its coming off the pc.. I'll go back to the old "uncool" version.

How can I disable the assistive touch programmatically ? This is like a bug. Though the Guided access is enabled a user can take screenshot of my application content. How can I solve this ? any idea ....
Question: Do you think the response from the support staff is correct? I mean, surely, I can't be the only CF user on a shared box whose other users need to modify the date and time within their applications. Even if they do it at the application level for their domain, surely it wouldn't affect mine, would it? That was what was implied by the support people, but I have a feeling they are way off, or covering for some goof-up on their end. I struggled like hell yesterday trying to get this to work and I did not get very far at all.
I found an interesting tutorial here which does a comparison of time zones and, theoretically, this might do the trick. But if what the guy told me was nonsense then I won't bother with it. For the record, our calendar has been working fine for about a week now. -

Can someone please help me with this query:
How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!
I continue to have a pop saying that either the file in open somewhere in the serve- which it is not- and I cannot delete a particular pdf or edit it.
It's incredibly frustrating and in the end I end up having four files with different names because it won't let me edit the original file!!!!Hi Amila1,
Are the pdfs stored on a network location?
If so is the Preview pane turned ON?

How do you disable cookies in Safari?
On Safari's Preferences (command-comma) on the Privacy tab you can set 'Block cookies' to 'Always'. Doing so may affect how some sites behave e.g. you may not be able to stay logged in to websites if you set it to 'always', 'block from third parties and advertisers' may be better.

HI,
I have a red light in my headphone jack and I see "correct responses" listed as "when digital output is enabled speakers are disabled." That's all well and good but doens't really help. HOW do you disable the "digital output," get the red light to turn off and be able to hear through the speakers? What's the SOLUTION to the problem. Sorry, just a bit frustrated. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best,
dpeast12Allegedly this can occur if there is a contaminant in the headphone jack that makes the computer believe there is an optical connection there, so it shuts off the internal speakers.
Try inserting and removing a headphone plug repeatedly. This ought to dislodge the junk, and seems to have fixed the problem for others. Hope it helps!
