How to disable automatic chat history download?

I use Skype constantly and this "feature" is really, really annoying. Let's say I've been chatting the whole day on my computer. I go out, launch Skype on my phone and the app starts downloading all those hundreds of messages automatically. There's no way to stop it. The iPhone app usually crashes at least five times because of this.
Please fix it. Add a "download chat history" button or something like that. The way it works now, it is simply unacceptable. 

IIf connected to a wifi network and plugged into a charger, your iPad will automatically try and update itself. Sadly, I am unaware of a way to prevent this In the settings menu. But you can turn the wifi off while recharging to stop it. Not a real solution, but perhaps someone else will have a more practical idea Of what to do.

  • How do I disable automatic TV shows download from Apple TV to my iTunes library on my PC?

    How do I disable automatic TV shows download from Apple TV to my iTunes library on my PC? This is really annoying as I am not able to sync my main music and photo library after my appleTV dowloads 84 GB of TV shows, which my PC is unable to accomodate anyway. Any advise?

    I have a very similar problem in that purchases I make on the ATV are shuttled off to my computer even before I have a chance to watch them. Nothing remains on the AppleTV except (strangely) a show I bought from iTunes months before I ever got the ATV. In order to watch anything, I have to either leave my computer turned off between the time I order and watch it; or I have to have my computer on in order to stream the show back to the ATV. I like the idea of syncing with the computer as a backup solution, but the ATV should be designed to prefer to keep unwatched material on its hard drive until some threshold storage level has been reached, and then it should move off older shows to make room for newer ones.

    How to disable automatic opening of previously viewed items in Preview or TextEdit in Max OSX Lion? It was no such issue on Snow Leopard OS.
    Please help

    This is a new behavior introduced in Lion.  You can disable it completely via System Preferences, General: uncheck the "Restore windows..." box toward the bottom. 
    You can disable this behavior on a case by case basis by either closing all windows before quitting, or holding the option key while quitting, or holding the shift key while launching from dock.

    How to have the Chat history without the Exchange server?

    Hi,
    You can try Archiving server. Archiving is the storing of IM and conferencing data in an SQL backend database. This data is not instantly readable / searchable. The Lync users are not able to read it directly. The admin can export the data using Lync powershell
    and then convert it into a readable format.

  • How to disable automatic login and to see other accounts?

    I bought MacBook Pro Retina with Mac OS X 10.8.2 in a shop, where there already was account "kiosk".
    I created new account, gave him Administrator priviliges.
    In the Preferences / Users & Groups I see kiosk account as "Managed", and my new account as "Admin".
    I set:
    System Preferences / Security & Privacy / General / Disable automatic login = Checked.
    System Preferences / Users & Groups / Login Options / Automatic login = Off.
    But still I have two issues:
    1) After start the laptop automatically logins into kiosk account, while I explicitly switched off this option
    2) Apart from kiosk account, the OS doesn't see any other accounts, for example my new account.
    For example, when I changed login shell for kiosk account into /usr/bin/false, I couldn't login at all. The OS said something like, there are no active accounts. So I had to set login shell back to /bin/bash using single-user mode.
    The questions are:
    How to disable automatic login into kiosk account?
    How to see a choice between kiosk account and my new account in the login dialog?
    How to delete kiosk account? Currently the delete option is disabled for kiosk in System Preferences / Users & Groups.
    So far after laptop start I automatically login into kiosk, then switch into my new account with entering a password, which is weird.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to make previous chat history visible in new window

    Hi people,
    Recent Windows convert here. I am a loyal user of Trillian, and one of the things I love about Trillian is that when a new chat window comes up, the log from the previous conversation is visible within it.
    So, to illustrate, it's a bit frustrating to have a conversation like this:
    Me: Hey Mike, do you know how Sally is doing?
    Mike: I am away from my computer
    I log off or go away. Then a few hours later,
    Mike: She hurt her foot
    Me: Who hurt her foot?
    You get my drift - if new windows had a little history in them, that'd be great. Now, I know how to save chat history, and where it is saved. What I'm wishing for is that it were right there inside the new window with some kind of divider to set the time/context (even a button to view it would be a step in the right direction). I'm guessing there may be an add-on for this, but my Apple Discussion and Google searches have been fruitless.
    Any ideas? Thanks all.
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    HI ZigZagLens,
    Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
    I only know of a partial solution to this.
    If I have a Chat open and the other end person goes offline when they come back my end uses the same window if I still have it open.
    There is no way to reopen a close chat window AND add fresh text chat to it.
    If you wanted this it would be a feature request.
    I could see that it could be done two ways.
    1) The Recents item in iChat itself could list the last few saved chats
    2) An iChat Recents item could be added to the Blue Apple Recents item.
    At present iChat open saved chats are added to the Documents list if they are reopened, so it will probably need both.
    It is around this area that you might find a utility.

  • How to disable automatic statistics collections on tables

    Hi
    I am using Oracle 10g and we have few tables which are frequently truncated and news rows added to it. Oracle automatically analyzes the table by some means which collects statistics of the table but at the wrong time(when the table is empty). This makes my query to do a full table scan rather using indexes since the statistics was collected when the table was empty.Could any one please let me know how to disable the automatic statistics collection feature of Oracle?
    Cheers

    Hi
    I am using Oracle 10g and we have few tables which
    are frequently truncated and news rows added to it.
    Oracle automatically analyzes the table by some means
    which collects statistics of the table but at the
    wrong time(when the table is empty). This makes my
    query to do a full table scan rather using indexes
    since the statistics was collected when the table was
    empty.Could any one please let me know how to disable
    the automatic statistics collection feature of
    Oracle?
    First of all I think it's important that you understand why Oracle collects statistics on these tables: Because it considers the statistics of the object to be missing or stale. So if you just disable the statistics gathering on these tables then you won't have statistics at all or outdated statistics.
    So as said by the previous posts you should gather the statistics manually yourself anyway. If you do so right after loading the data into the truncated table, you don't need to disable the automatic statistics gathering as it only processes objects that are stale or don't have statistics at all.
    If you still think that you need to disable it there are several ways to accomplish it:
    As already mentioned, for particular objects you can lock the statistics using DBMS_STATS.LOCK_TABLE_STATS, or for a complete schema using DBMS_STATS.LOCK_SCHEMA_STATS. Then these statistics won't be touched by the automatic gathering job. You still can gather statistics using the FORCE=>true option of the GATHER__STATS procedures.
    If you want to change the automatic gathering job that it only gathers statistics on objects owned by Oracle (data dictionary, AWR etc.), then you can do so by calling DBMS_STATS.SET_PARAM('AUTOSTATS_TARGET', 'ORACLE'). This is the recommended method.
    If you disable the schedule job as mentioned in the documentation by calling DBMS_SCHEDULER.DISABLE('GATHER_STATS_JOB') then no statistics at all will be gathered automatically, causing your data dictionary statistics to be become stale over time, which could lead to suboptimal performance of queries on the data dictionary.
    All this applies to Oracle 10.2, some of the features mentioned might not be available in Oracle 10.1 (as you haven't mentioned your version of 10g).

  • How to disable automatic start of SAP NetWeaver ABAP trial in Windows XP

    Hello experts,
    please, how is it possible to disable automatic start of SAP NetWeaver ABAP in Windows XP after windows startup?
    Thank you,
    Ondrej

    Right-click on "My Computer", and choose Manage.  Open the "Services and Applications" node on the tree structure on the left, double-click on "Services".  Find the service called  MAXDB:NSP  Right-click on this and change the startup type to "Manual".  Click "Apply", then "Ok".  Then go to the service labeled as SAPNSP_00 and do the same thing, setting it to manual.  That should be it.  These services will then be starting only when starting the system via the MMC

  • How to disable automatic launch of WIE in startup configurat​ion with no options to do so?

    Thinkpad T400 2764CTO running Windows 7 Home Premium 64
    PC only 2 weeks old, very little on it, but getting slower and slower. Finally found the configuration for the startup menu and disabled several things I knew I didn't want at startup. One problem that I can't seem to figure out, is how to disable Windows Internet Explorer from being launched at startup? I have tried disabling every Microsoft option, and it still launches. Is there a specific Lenovo option [that does not obviously have anything to to with WIE] in the startup menu that, if disabled, will stop the WIE browser from being launched? How do I know which options are not safe to disable when attempting to slim down startup configuration for faster/more reliable performance?
    Thanks,
    Ann

    Either I *completely* misread your instructions; that fix is major overkill for what I was trying to do; that fix does not apply to my problem; that fix is only for XP or Vista and not W7; or my PC is already so messed up (despite clean hardware diagnostics, no viruses, no malware, and it is only 2 weeks old), that it performed unexpected and unwanted actions when trying to use the Windows features on/off program control panel options.
    Opened Control Panel, went to Programs, and finally found the option on the left for turning Windows features on and off. Unchecked the box for IE8, which required a restart. The restart time was 4-5 times longer than usual, even when launching superfluous programs from the startup menu, since it had to "reconfigure Windows." After restarting, WIE did not automatically launch, and its toolbar icon was gone too. Tried to turn it back on like you said, which also required a restart, which didn't make sense to me, since I expected the browser to launch again following another extra long restart once the box was re-selected. Although, surprisingly, it didn't, so for a moment thought it had somehow worked. Then I realized that my WIE icon was still missing from the toolbar, so there was no way to launch it even if I wanted to. Went back into the Control panel and checked every Windows feature box possible; another extra-long restart; still no toolbar icon for WIE. Had to go into the computer files to find WIE so that I could create a desktop shortcut icon so I could manually launch the browser from that. However, when I clicked on the shortcut, it went into a browser setup mode, as if it was being set up for the first time. Finished setup and tried to go to a webpage, but kept getting a connection error.
    Diagnosed it, and it said that the Local Area Connection had no valid IP address. Waited on hold with Mediacom for a hour before being disconnected, trying to find out what the IP address was and where to re-enter it, since unchecking the IE8 box in the Windows features part of the Control Panel, doesn't just temporarily disable the function, but apparently actually deletes the toolbar icon, as well as the IP address. Took several more attempts over several hours to get ahold of Mediacom reset the signal to get the IP address back and get back online. So that really does not seem like a viable solution for trying to save time and resources by removing something from the startup menu, if it just quadruples startup time, deletes WIE toolbar icon and IP address permanently, requires creating a desktop shortcut, and then requires several more hours on phone with ISP for signal reset to get the IP address back. Would have been much faster and done less apparent damage than just going ahead and letting it launch at startup and then just closing it. *sigh*
    I know that just having an icon in the toolbar does not mean that that particular program will launch at startup, as I have several others that have toolbar icons that I have been able to uncheck in the startup menu, so I can use the toolbar icons to launch each program manually. There just doesn't seem to be any program active in the startup menu that would be launching the browser, and still concerned about unchecking something necessary in startup that could screw it up even more.
    Is there any way to get my toolbar WIE icon back without a full system restore, so that I have less shortcut clutter on my desktop?

  • How to disable automatic resume on Satellite P100-437

    Hello to all.
    I bought recently the P100-437. In general I am happy with my laptop but there is an issue that I am trying to solve and unfortunately I can't.
    When I put the laptop in Hibernation and close the lid then when I open the lid the laptop automatically resumes windows. This has put me into troubles when I had to pass from some security checks in the airports.
    So, I am looking for a way to stop this automatically resuming on lid opening.
    It is really important to do that. Do you have any suggestions or the way this can be done??
    Regards,
    G.

    Hello idet
    I think it is time to end this long discussion. First of all you can not expect any solution because solution exists just if there is some problem. But in your case there is no problem. With simply words: no problem no solution, just possibility to avoid notebook to switch ON after opening the lid.
    I also understand what you want but something like this is definitely not possible. You will not find any setting for that. When you close the lid one small hidden switch is activated and when you open the lid the same switch lose connection and give a signal to laptop to start OS because laptop knows the lid is open.
    I can just imagine you bring your notebook to the service and they can cutoff the cable between this switcher and main board.
    I have found similar question here when one forum user asked how to disable fingerprint reader on his new Portege 400. Something like this is definitely not possible. Just cutting off physical connection can help. Maybe!!!

    Hi, all, there is a way to disable automatic sign in from skype for mac
    1. Simply turn off internet connection of your computer.
    2. Launch skype 
    Skype cannot sign in and you will get error screen, there you can sign in from your different account.
    Peace

    Another option is to sign out of the current account (under File), then uptick the box that says "Sign me in when Skype starts" before signing in again from whichever account takes your fancy.
