How to disable animations in Yosemite

The new animations in Yosemite are making me incredibly dizzy and nauseous - it's like the Blair Witch Project for my macbook!
When navigating between spaces, the transition animation consists of the dock, menu bar, desktop picture, and desktop icons all flying to the left. Similarly, when clicking the green button to make a window go full-screen, the dock, menu bar, desktop picture, and desktop icons all fly to the left (in the background) as the application window gets larger.
This animation is making me so nauseous, I'm completely unable to use Spaces, and can't use the "full screen" button at all.
Does anyone know of a way to disable this animation?

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How to disable animations

iTunes 7.0.2.16 for Windows has very slow animations when downloading, which cause ~90% CPU usage on my machine. Example stack from the busy thread in the iTunes process:
---8<---
ntkrnlpa.exe!KiUnlockDispatcherDatabase+0x77
ntkrnlpa.exe!KeSetEventBoostPriority+0xaf
ntkrnlpa.exe!ExReleaseResourceLite+0xf3
ntkrnlpa.exe!KiFastCallEntry+0xf8
ntdll.dll!KiFastSystemCallRet
GDI32.dll!NtGdiBitBlt+0xc
QuickTime.qts!DllMain+0x10fd3
QuickTime.qts!DllMain+0x1b9f
--->8---
It's spending most of its time blitting animations to the screen.
How can UI animation be turned off? Or otherwise reduce the CPU usage of the UI animation?

The animation during download that I get is the progress bar under downloads. Is that what you mean?
With my system the CPU load only jumps at the end of each download when it finishes at that time iTunes basically stops responding for 1-3 seconds. During the rest of the download I can move around iTunes as much as I like even at the store.

How to disable notifications in Yosemite

Hi!
Is anyone else experiencing problems with notification center in Yosemite? I have disabled both the reminders and the calendar from the notification center (unchecked all boxes and set the notification style to none) but Yosemite keeps enabling them after each time I log out. Is this a bug? Happens on both my iMac and my Macbook after upgrading.
Thanks!
Anders

SAME PROBLEM!
I am really annoyed with this. I turned them off years ago except for iPhone and yet here they are with a vengeance on my MBPRO 2013 with Yosemite...
HELP!!!
I just want my "reminders" to go to... well, my iPhone ONLY.
Thank you for my sanity back asap.
I guess I replied instead of clicking "i have same problem"...

How to disable Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite

Hi there,
I'm trying to disable the Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite / Mac OS X 10.10.
Unfortunately the instructions in OS X: How to disable Bonjour service advertising without disabling DNS no longer apply, since Yosemite no longer has /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
I did some digging around and there's someone who made a script to disable it in various Mac OS versions, including supposedly Yosemite: https://github.com/MacMiniVault/Mac-Scripts/blob/master/disablebonjour/disablebo njour-README.md
I had a look at the script to find out what it does and manually inserted "--no-multicast" as string under Program Arguments in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
Doing so, will mess up the wi-fi. Networks only show when wi-fi is off, and turning it on makes it seem like it's off and I'm never able to connect until I undo the changes described above.
Wondering if:
1) The result from changes above is expected or is it a bug?
2) If Apple can update OS X: How to disable Bonjour service advertising without disabling DNS to include instructions for Yosemite.
3) Did anyone here manage to disable Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite without introducing any new issues?
Thanks!

So far, it doesn't appear to work correctly. I've posted more details in a thread here:

How can I disable animations completely on my iphone?

This is my second iThing: my first was the original iPad, in it's 16GB/wifi-only glory. When I bought this iphone 5, it came with iOS 6, and was significantly less annoying. Then 7 happened and the motion sickness. Now, 7.0.2 or 3 or whatever, the zooming motion sickness effect is replaced with this blur effect. The issue is that apparently my fingers work much faster than this device. Is there a way to disable animations so that when I touch a button, I'm immediately returned with the result of my action, instead of waiting for the animation and obsessively performing the same action/motion over and over waiting for the device to catch up?

Hey Tener,
Reducing screen motion might help you:
To reduce the effect, you can turn on Reduce Motion in Settings > General > Accessibility. When you turn on Reduce Motion, Home screen transitions will fade instead of zoom.

Is there a way to disable animation?

I have multiple sensory issues, including visual and auditory issues.
Is there any way to disable animation and autoplay, everywhere? Because parts of Mac OS X use animation, Apple's "help" feature uses animation, this web site uses animation, many other web sites use animation and autoplay... It hurts.
I would like to be able to enable things if and when I want to watch things, but given the choice I would rather be able to disable it all everywhere than have it enabled almost everywhere.
I currently use Firefox which has separate tools to blocked animated/pain-gifs, block various types of video, block ads, etc. I can't find similar tools for Safari, and I need some similar tools for Yosemite itself.

I tried the terminal command as well and didn't get it to work. Does anyknow how to do this now? I'm in ML.

Trying to disable animation on tab bar

''locking as a duplicate - /questions/887078#answer-261172''
I used to use Firefox 3.6 and have just upgraded to version 7.0.1 (Pale Moon build, that shouldn't actually affect anything).
There's a really annoying issue that I'm noticing and I can't figure out how to disable it. I can only describe it as an animated scrolling tab-bar. I have about 35 tabs open at any given time, so obviously the screen is over-filled with them and they won't all show at once. That's not a problem, that's why I can scroll through them myself!
Well, say I'm on the far left of my tabs. If I open a new tab, or even click on a link that opens in a new tab, it will open in the far right (as I want it to), but it shows the entire tab bar scrolling over to the right, which takes a good 2-3 seconds with the huge number of tabs I keep open. Then when I close that tab, it scrolls all the way back.
I do remember Firefox 3 doing the same thing, I believe it was called smooth scrolling? At the time I was able to figure it out, there was something in about:config I had to modify. I can't find this option with FF7 anymore. I tried disabling the tab animation, but from what I've read, that only prevents it from "growing" the tab from scratch, which doesn't really happen if the screen's already filled anyway.
Even if I'm on the far right tab and open a new one, the new tab "appears" as an animation, from the far right of the screen and shifts into place. That's cool and all for those who like fancy graphics, but I'm using a web browser here, not a movie player. It's just obnoxious when I have to watch the animations move around when I have large numbers of tabs open.
Can somebody help me disable this setting? If I install the addon "Tab Mix Plus", the issue goes away... however, that program does all sorts of other weird stuff like make my tabs all in italics and in red color. I'd rather not use an addon to fix what seems like a simple solution if I don't have to.

Please see [/questions/887078#answer-261172]

How to disable full screen "fade" transition?

Hello,
Just got my new MBP and upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion in the process. Computer seems to work great, but Aperture now has this odd "slideshow" like fade when I toggle to my images in full screen. It's slow and distracting, more gimmicky than anything else. Does anyone know how to disable this?
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere...couldn't find a thread by searching.
Many thanks,
David

Thanks, Leonie. It's nice to know I'm not a lone voice crying out in the wilderness! I find it hard to believe that other photographers who use Aperture for professional work aren't bothered by this feature.
My problem is that yes, a direct "cut" from one image to the other--like it used to be!--is the only practical way to compare photos...
I have tried to find ways to "turn off animations" in the Mac OS, but it seems that none of the old methods that worked with Lion worked with Mountain Lion.
I will take your advice and write feedback to Apple.
Best,
David

How to disable "blue underlined links" (which I did not code) in FireFox?

How to disabl "blue underlined links" (which I did not code) in FireFox? Here's an example website that has no underlined links coded in the simple html source: www.setv.org. After I updated FireFox to a more recent FireFox version, blue underlines appear in websites. I know that there is a way to disable that annoying 'feature'.
Thanks in Advance

Cor El,
Thank you. Re; under-lined links...I thought I looked everywhere...but I missed it!
Any chance there being a way to easily enable/disable animations? I'd sure like to selectively rid the screen of those noisy flashy-blinky advertisements.
And how about storing java-script enable/disable flags with bookmarks? That way I would not be forced to click tools->options->content->enable-javascript each time I wanna turn it on or off? When I surf using database engines I disable j-script (phkem) and when I need to get something from nextegg I turn it on. What about being able to selectively disable/enable (also stored in bookmarks) embedded google-ads/beacons flags? I hate being tracked, now I'm getting ads on my cable TV set based on where I've been lurking on the InterNet. Big-phkn-brother's on us, and its the greedy phkn corporations who don't give sht about us except for what's in our wallets. InterNet used to be cool, now its the CIA, the FBI, KGB, policia, FartBuuk, Macro$haft, AT&T, Giggle (at least they give something of value back), and all the other facist big-brothers. Mozilla was born fighting that schema. There's so much more that FireFox could do to mitigate InterNet facism.
Anyway, thanks again for your time and I appologize for the ranting.

Disable animations

Is there a way to disable animations on firefox 24.0 for MAC?
Whenever I try and reload a tab it will display a resend data box. This cannot be disabled because apparently allowing the user to decide how the browser will react is something to dangerous to be allowed. Nice to see mozilla going the way of ie.
So can I at least be allowed to no have it waste .5 seconds with a little irritating drop down and just have it display? This is a silly problem to have. Cut the bells and whistles and just display the window. Yet another "innovation" moving in the wrong direction. Can we get more freedom to change how our browser acts and not less? thanks.

# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# type(or copy/paste from here) '''image.animation_mode'''
# double-click on it, type '''none'''
# click OK, exit firefox and restart it.

How to disable parent window while popup window is coming

Hi,
I am working on Oracle Applications 11i.
I am able to get the popup window using the Java script in the controller.
Please see the below code for the reference.
String pubOrderId = pageContext.getParameter("orderId");
StringBuffer l_buffer = new StringBuffer();
StringBuffer l_buffer1 = new StringBuffer();
l_buffer.append("javascript:mywin = openWindow(top, '");
l_buffer1.append("/jct/oracle/apps/xxpwc/entry/webui/AddAttachmentPG");
l_buffer1.append("&retainAM=Y");
l_buffer1.append("&pubOrderId="+pubOrderId);
String url = "/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page="+l_buffer1.toString();
OAUrl popupUrl = new OAUrl(url, OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_SAVE );
String strUrl = popupUrl.createURL(pageContext);
l_buffer.append(strUrl.toString());
l_buffer.append("', 'lovWindow', {width:750, height:550},false,'dialog',null);");
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("SomeName",l_buffer.toString());
But here the problem is, even though popup window is there, i am able to do the actions on the parent page.
So how to disable the parent page, while getting the popup window.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Naga

Disable animated gifs in 64 bit Safari?

Hello. Since pith helmet announced that it'll take them a while to write a version compatible with 64 bit Safari, animated gifs have become an issue again, unless one goes back to 32 bit mode. SafariStand and ClickToFlash are of no help here. Does anyone know how to have animated gifs stand? Thanks.

Hi
the preference keys mentioned in webkit builds & within the safari app seem not to work, but this extension
https://github.com/matsadler/deanimator appears useful and is obviously easy to remove if it causes any problems. Works well here, in brief testing - but see the limitations

How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?
