How to disable idle logout from Yosemite?

Hello,
My iMac logs me out after being idle for an extended period of time, usually 40-60 minutes. Generally I am streaming a movie from my iMac to my Apple TV when i notice it as when it logs off it quits playing the movie. It is very irritating.
I have done the following as per google & forum searches
- Gone to Security in Sys Pref and ensured that the Require Password after x is unchecked - Done (was never checked)
- Gone into Energy Saver to make sure that the computer is set to NEVER sleep display (<-i know this is unrelated) or computer, as well as ensure that Put Hard Disks to Sleep is unchecked as well.
At this point I am not sure what else to do, is it perhaps a system process that is initiating this? Can I tell in a log some how?
Thanks,
James

Hi ..
System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General then click the Advanced tab.
You may be prompted for your admin password to proceed.
The window offers a time limit for log out determined by minutes of inactivity
Make sure that's not checked.

Does any one know how to Disable/Hide "BCC" from outlook/owa in office 365?

Hi,
Does any one know how to Disable/Hide "BCC" from outlook/owa in office 365?
Thank You.

Hi Kavin,
You can try the below steps on the OWA server box,
search for this file name in explorer
File name: "messageoptionsdialog.aspx"
open this file in notepad
search for "chkbcc" you'll find something like this "input type="checkbox" id="chkBcc"
you need to update the LINE BEFORE IT to <td style="visibility:hidden">
Try this and let me now if this worked
Although I've not tried this for the OUTLOOK client, you can try this and check if you need
But this has worked for OWA for one of my client
I'm also not very sure if this can be achieved on all of your outlook users from a server admin point of view, coz this is a client feature and not a user specific active directory attribute.
Thanks & Regards

How to disable other users from changing the status

Hi,
The status entry field can be changed irrespective of ownership in Documents.
I was able to change the status on the document created by other user.
Example: The status of document was In-Work. The document owner was X. But I was able to change it to Inspection Check.

How to disable "shift-option" from zooming out in InDesign?

Hi all,
This truly is driving me crazy...how can I disable the "shift-option" shortcut so that I do not zoom out in InDesign? I have searched through the keyboard shortcuts but cannot find where or how to disable this:( I use the shortcut a LOT when I am drag-copying something that needs to be on the same horizontal or vertical line as the the item I am copying from.
Thank you so much in advance for your help,
Christine

I haven't had time to come back here and post a reply because I've been so incredibly busy working on a catalog. I do have to say that this zooming out is KILLING me and cutting heavily into production time. This was not happening in ID CS5 and only seems to have been happening with ID CS6. There is no third key and it doesn't seem to happen ALWAYS...so I am completely baffled. Normally it is when I shift-option drag an object. Sometimes even just option-dragging an object causes it to happen. I just don't know what is causing this or what I can disable to stop it from happening:(

You are, I'm afraid, chasing an impossible security that cannot exist. Many have sought this, but it just isn't there -- and there is so much more than the save button involved.

How to disable mail inline attachments yosemite

Since installing Yosemite I have customers unable to download pdf attachments sent to them with Mac Mail. I purchased Attachment Tamer some time ago but it isn't yet supported for Yosemite and given the time taken I suspect it may not be updated. I believe the problem comes from the handling of attachments as "inline". Has Apple or any one else got a solution for this problem?

libimta.so 6.3-0.15 (built 19:27:56, Feb 9 2007)You really need to upgrade your Messaging Server installation to a more recent MS6.3 patch level.
I need to disable mail forwarding for few users. TO achieve this I implemented a script which deletes "mailForwardingAddress" and "mailDeliveryOption: forward" for those users periodically. Though these delete operations run successfully, the forwarding still works.What do you mean by "the forwarding still works"? Remember that Messaging Server MTA processes have an LDAP cache which can take 10-15 minutes to expire. So changing the forwarding setting may not be immediately reflected.
What output do you get for the command:
./imsimta test -rewrite <users email address>
I read somewhere that an ACI on the LDAP attribute for forwarding would work. But I'm not sure how to do this.If you don't know how to create/edit/maintain LDAP ACI's then you shouldn't be going down this path. A small mistake can result in large problems.

How to disable boot chime in Yosemite?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to disable the boot chime in Yosemite. Previously I was able to do this by way of a terminal command (sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80) but this doesn't seem to work in Yosemite.
I know why the boot chime is useful and why I should just mute my speakers before shutting down, but I just want it disabled once and for all.
Besides the use of 3rd party apps, is there any way to disable it?
Thanks for any input.

This worked in Mavericks 10.9.5.
I had this scrapped from someone else's post.
Basically what it does is when you log off, it mutes the volume. On log-on, it un-mutes so your normal volume returns.
-Create scriptfile for muting:
sudo nano /opt/local/bin/mute-on.sh
#!/bin/bash
osascript -e 'set volume with output muted'
-Create scriptfile for unmuting
sudo nano /opt/local/bin/mute-off.sh
#!/bin/bash
osascript -e ‘set volume without output muted’
-Make both files executable:
sudo chmod +x /opt/local/bin/mute-*
-Check if any hooks already exist (these will be overwritten, so make sure it is OK for you)
sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook
sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook
-Add hooks for muting
sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /opt/local/bin/mute-on.sh
sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /opt/local/bin/mute-off.sh
–to delete the hooks, use the following:
sudo defaults delete com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook
sudo defaults delete com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook
-Note that script files must be owned by root.
I wish Apple starts rethinking these unneeded clutters that really annoys new mac users.

Keynote and Macbook - How to disable "play" key from starting presentation?

I use Keynote to view lecture presentations with audio running in the background from the lecturer (in Quicktime 7) or music (in iTunes 9).
As such, there are times when I need to press the play/pause keys on my Macbook Pro's keyboard since the audio may have gone past the point I've read on the slide.
In Keynote however, hitting the "Play" key starts the presentation and stops the audio in the background.
How can I disable Keynote from taking commands from the audio control keys?
Thanks!

Hey thanks. But, I tried.
Where I hit the wall was, trying to figure out where in the menubar of the Quicktime app I could find the menu text for Play/Pause.
There is no such thing.
I need a menu command 'text' for this Keyboard shortcuts setting (sys pref) to work.
So, because of this, I can't assign the Play command to quicktime to anything else.
The default key is the Spacebar (Play/Pause) or the F7,F8,F9 in recent keyboard setup.
For now, I just Cmd+Tab between apps when doing the transcript.
True, I could use something else for transcript and then import text afterwards.

How to disable the message from setUser and setPassword

When I call OracleConnectionCacheImpl.setUser and setPassword,
I get some message like this:
Setting the user name and passwwdd xxxx xxxxx
How can I disable this message?

You are correct. The only way to stop it, is to turn off iMessage. Your frustration is actually the reason they made iMessage. It was designed so you could be working on your Mac, and if you recieved a text message, you could reply with out having to locate your phone. I understand it can be frustrating because in my expeirence, when I'm away from my desk, anyone with access to my computer can then sit there and enjoy my conversation with out me knowing about it... I have since started logging out of Messages on my Mac when I walk away. then no one can see it, and when I log back in, the messages are synced back up again. Good luck!! Cheers!

HT1535 how to disable automatice sync from Iphone

was trying to down load pics from my wifes Iphone 5c to our PC. The computer thought I have a new phone so wipeout her pics and contacts and put my pics, contacts and emails on her phone.
1. how to I disable the auto sync.
2. the guy at the Apple store said that her pics are gone. is that true or is there a way to retreive them?
Thanks,

If she had iCloud set up properly in her phone you might have a chances to recover the contacts and possibly the photos. Try visiting iCloud.com and sign in with her Apple ID. If you two share an Apple ID I don't think this method is possible. You can simply view what contacts are saved in iCloud. Now if everything is there you. An reset the her device and restore from iCloud back up. You can leave iCloud back up on , on the device and when it connects to iTunes it will no longer sync automatically. Good luck. Feel free to reply for more help
