How to completely disable "Touchsmart OS software" Slows & interfers
How to completely disable "Touchsmart OS software" What a Hassle it slows & interferes Windows & applications.
I can't find any information how to completely disable this software. I can't imagine anyone likes it. It just slows my computer & makes my other programs want to crash. It wastes at least 2 to 5 minutes every single startup having to shut it down manually.
I want it off my machine & I bet I am not the only one. It reminds me of the old Windows over Dos mess.
Brilliant1, welcome to the forum.
When requesting help you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.
I believe that you can go into the Control Panel under "Pen and Touch". You would uncheck the box "Use finger as input device" (some such words).
I found this in another thread:
Per HP Technical Support: "Hp TouchScreen Configuration" has been replaced by "Pen and Touch." More recent models would have "Pen and Touch," older models would have "HP TouchScreen Configuration." The "Configuration" option does not appear on any TouchSmart 610 series all-in-one computers. So to turn off the finger-operated TouchScreen one would use whichever appears on the Control Panel of the computer in question.

How can I disable the shift-click slow motion special effects in Mac OS 10.6?
How can I disable the slow motion special effects that occur when you do something and hold shift? (By the way, the terminal command doesn't work in 10.6)
I'd like to know how to do this now too since the terminal command doesn't work in Lion / ML. Anyone know how?
And Leroy - the reason is because I have custom hot keys configured and the shift key is a key I want to use for this command. I would like to know how to disable the slow motion effect permanently since I never need it and would certainly like to use my shift key as a modifier for various keyboard commands. -

Setting geo.enabled to false does not stop websites from knowing location. It changes based off of what proxy I am using. Is there a way to completely disable this?
I use Comcast in the Chicago area market and have a problem with the "Opt Out" stopping about once a year or so. It appears as being enabled at the Comcast Opt Out page, but the unresolved addresses are still going to the DNS "domain helper" service.
What works for me is to turn off the opt out preference, log off from that Comcast account, and close Firefox. When I restart Firefox, log in to Comcast, and then set the pref to "opt out" again - it works as intended and doesn't cause me a problem until it happens like 10 to 12 months later.
As far as why it seems to affect browsers in a different way, I have no idea. I do have Safari, Opera, and IE 8 installed, in addition to multiple versions of Firefox, but I don't use those other browsers enough to have seen a difference. I am usually opening pages from within Firefox in those other browsers to view the difference, ''or to print something that Firefox screws up in the Print Preview''. -
How to completely disable the function of hotspots
Hello everyone, this is my first time in the forum, I am looking for a way to neutralize the function of individual access points - HOTSPOT, I mean neutralization through the system, not through the normal shutdown settings
Thank you allhi, michael.
Thank you for the quick response,
Excuse me for my tongue,
Hard to express myself that well,
The point is this:
I have an iPhone 4, sometimes the device is with people who work with me,
Or with friends,
They connect the device to their computer and play in the internet,
They finish the transaction with my cellular company,
If they play with the device - no problem,
But to connect to a computer - it is a problem!
So I want to completely disable the option of hotspots
And again,
Pardon my language -
Possible / how to completely disable Keychain??
Hi,
I know Keychain has its fans, though I suspect most of them don't have to use it in a corporate environment, where AD users have to change passwords every month. It drives our users nuts (and me!).
I know they only have to go into Keychain Access and reset it, and I've explained to them how to do that countless times, but they still get tied into knots with it. Far better for them to just re-enter their password for each network connection (only one in our case, so no great hassle).
Don't want any advice on 'how best to use the Keychain', or to be told how wonderful it is. I simply want to banish it from our systems completely, for ever and ever (Amen!). Is this possible (short of screwing up the machine)?
Any help most welcome thanks.
I've already searched around but can find nothing about how to kill the thing. Does anyone else hate Keychain as much as me?Hi, Jack.
By "AD" I presume you mean Active Directory.
AFAIK, you can't:• For starters, some applications, like Mail, Safari, and others are "Keychain-aware" and depend on the the keychain and Keychain Services for saving and retrieving account and password info. It's also involved in saving certificates. Remove keychain and such apps are likely to break.
• Second, it's a core part of the OS, specifically Mac OS X Security Services.I see your options as follows:
1. You may want to see if there's a way to configure AD so it does not use the Keychain. However, this means users will have to enter their passwords every time unless AD provides some other secure method for saving them.
2. You have an educational problem here, not a technical problem. Create a tutorial for them, including screen shots, showing them how to update the password. Define a Test User to use in the illustrations so you don't have to use your own account. Then given everyone a copy and place it on one of your servers so folks can download the tutorial when needed.
Good luck!

I have 100s of bookmarks that work fine on other browsers. Most are .mil, .gov., & va websites. All of which say, "The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided." in Firefox. I want to completely bypass certificate warnings without having to make exceptions for every site. I understand the risks. I prefer them, over these warning. Viruses, malware, phishing, etc, I can deal with. I just want FREEDOM from these certificate blockades, FREEDOM to choose my own security. I will choose security that is less obtrusive / problematic than the attacks they mean to prevent. Even Microsoft allows you to turn off user account controls. My computer IS already secure, & what I input IS secure. Now act like open source and allow me to choose FREEDOM from these certificate blockades.
Thanks, but is that really the best Firefox users get. Constantly having to manually fix the browser to accept certificates. Firefox's security is fine for those who like to rely on it, but for those who dislike being FORCED to rely on it, there should be some means to bypass it, without having to ask for some link like this every time. I said the majority were .mil links, but I still run into this elsewhere. What is THE solution for those of us who rather dislike being forced to rely on this primitive, dysfunctional, oppressive, big-brother - overprotective - ware? Don't misunderstand me, I get what SSL is and the purpose of certificates. But I also know when I'm entering a known and trusted site vs. some random site found somewhere on the web. I use multiple Firefox profiles. I'd like to disable this stuff on my profiles which I use for official business where I only go on known & trusted sites. Plain and simple, I'd like to stop getting this error in particular. Is it not possible to use Firefox to my liking, for my needs.

How to Completely Disable Autodiscover
I don't want any clients automatically connecting to my Exchange 2010 servers. I want to handle all client setups manually. I can remove the DNS entry, but how can I remove the autodiscover SCP on my domain?
If I removed the autodiscover virtual directory, would that accomplish the same thing?
Here's my scenario:
Company A has its own domain and Exchange server on companya.com. The merged with Company B and migrated all of their users to companyb.com's Exchange server. Company B created an accepted domain for companya.com and all of Company A's users will continue
to use [email protected] as their primary smtp address. To complicate matters, Company A will continue to use their old AD domain and will keep their Exchange server running indefinitely. The MX record still points to exchange.companya.com, and they
are merely forwarding all of their old companya.com mailboxes to the corresponding companyb.com addresses. Their workstations are still joined to companya.com and they still log into companya.com.
This appears to be causing problems with setting up email clients for new users and with getting the offline address book. I can't force them to shut down their Exchange server, but they are willing to disable the autodiscover SCP if I can tell them how
to do it.
The "whys" of this insane setup are above my pay grade.
Outlook initiates the autodiscover process, so disabling on the Exchange side wont prevent Outlook from attempting to do its thing.
With OUtlook 2010 they can add both accounts from both AD forests or they could use Outlook Anywhere, OUtlook Web App. You could always set the Autodiscover URLs to CompanyB URLs, and if they are authenticated against COmpanyB domain, they should be able
to connect. -

I already applied the "never Check for updates" option in Options>advanced.
But it is always asking...Are you using the Firefox 24.0 Release which is four versions/security updates behind or are you using the Firefox ESR which is based on Firefox 24.0 and currently at 24.'''4'''.0 security update in line with Firefox 28.0 release.
If you are using the Firefox 24.0 release and want to stay on 24.0 then to be up to date security wise you could use the 24.4.0esr instead. The next version ESR will be based on will not be until Firefox 31.0 and the 24 esr will have a couple update then still.

I'm trying to secure my Mac Pro that is running 10.7.2 and the only thing left that I cannot get figured out is how to completely disable Bluetooth Sharing without turning off Bluetooth altogether. Initially I thought that it was blocked in System Preferences -> Sharing unless you had an admin password, but it's the only option that is available no matter if the user is standard or admin. Is there any way to completely disable this box from toggling on or off?
Hi Adam, I see there are no replies to ur question. I have the same problem. I can turn bluetooth sharing on or off without my admin password. Please reply if you have found a solution. thank you!

My sons iPhone is under my apple id. He completed a software update earlier and now receives my text messages I send and receive- how do I disable this feature??
This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage. You can continue to share the same ID for pruchasing from the iTunes & App stores, but you should be using a different ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so you are both using a different ID for iMessage); or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present. -
How can I completely disable Airport / BlueTooth?
Hello All,
I've asked this in another thread, but have just realized that there is a dedicated Airport discussion area. So, I figured I would refine my question using information gathered from my previous discussion, and see if you fine people here in this discussion group might be able to shed additional light on my question.
So, here we go:
For those that want the background on my question, the original thread is at:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68bc9dac
My desire is to completely disable the Airport and BlueTooth features that are now integrated into the new systems.
I am considering purchasing a new iMac G5 or Power Mac G5, and want to see if it is possible to disable these features before I spend my money.
While others are convinced that I am crazy, my personal desire is not to have this type of radio frequency / radiation emissions on my desk.
I know there are many who feel it is not an issue or problem, so rather than discuss whether it is a warranted concern, I would prefer to discuss the simple matter of whether it can be disabled.
(see my previous discussion for my feelings / research on the subject)
My previous discussion led me to understand that it is soldered into the main board on the 2 latest revisions of the iMac G5, and probably also on the Power Mac G5. Any confirmations / corrections there?
I was hoping that I could simply unplug them like I could on older systems to eliminate them completely.
If that is not possible at all on the iMac G5's or Power Mac G5's, then here are a couple of additional questions:
I have learned that there is a setting in OS X to "Turn Off" the Airport features.
Does this setting actually power down and completely deactivate the Airport circuitry so that it would be essentially the same as if it were removed? Or, does it simply ignore the Airport controller and leave it powered-up?
Any knowledge there?
Secondly, anyone know if there is a similar setting for Blue Tooth? If there is, same question. Does it completely shut-down / power-off the Blue Tooth circuitry? Or, does it simply ignore it and leave it electrically powered?
My end goal is to have absolutely no signal coming out of the computer's Airport and BlueTooth circuitry. I want it to be essentially the same as if they were not even present.
If you know where I might find technical documents supporting or explaining how this enable / disable feature works (in relation to the above question), I would greatly appreciate it.
Additionally, in the event that disabling the features in Software / OS X doesn't work, is it safe (or possible) to simply disconnect the antenna from the Airport / BlueTooth controller or circuitry. It would seem that this might be quite easy on the Power Mac G5. It might still be possible on the iMac G5's with built-in Airport and Blue Tooth.
Yes, I know that some will think this quite unusual. Some may think I'm weird or strange. But, if you read my other discussion, you might understand my personal perspective and concern.
Either way, I am hopeful that rather than discussing whether there is a valid concern, that we might be able to discuss options and ideas on how to disable these features.
Thank you in advance.Your original thread on this topic has pretty well beaten the subject to death.
Yes, turning "Off" the Airport card from the MacOS Airport menu does indeed turn off its radio transmitter. That is the method recommended for people who, for example, want to take their Mac laptops on an aircraft where one is not allowed to have a radio transmitter on during the flight.
There is a similar setting in Bluetooth Preferences. -
How do I unlock iphone 5 that has been completely disabled, tried going to itunes?
How do I unlock iphone 5 that is completely disabled? It says to go to itunes, when going to itunes it says I need to have phone unlocked! Thanks!
If you mean your passcode lock:
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
If you mean unlocked from your carrier, then contact them as they are the only ones who can unlock the phone.
