How to disable the dashboard and spotlight for the latest Iion OS

How to disable the dashboard and sportlight function in the latest Mac OS?

to disable spotlight, open the terminal and type "sudo mdutil -a -i off" without the quotes. ( You will be prompted to enter your admin password.)
to disable dashboard:
Open Terminal, and then type this command, followed by the Return key:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
This tells the system that you no longer wish to have Dashboard available. However, the Dashboard task is actually “owned” by the Dock, so to make your changes take effect, you need to restart the Dock. The easiest way to do that is to type this command into the Terminal (and press Return when done):
killall Dock
After the Dock restarts, hit F12 and you’ll see…nothing at all. If you run Activity Monitor, you also won’t find any Dashboard widgets in the list of tasks, even if you had several open when you ran the above command.

    Does Anyone Knows How To Disable The "Check For Updates" Option in Adobe Edge Code and Reflow?
    Thanks in Advance

    I don't think there is a way for Edge Code. I'm not sure about Reflow.
    Why don't you just upgrade? That will stop the notifications.

    how to disable the selection of "Title and logo URL of a SharePoint 2013 site" from browser or How can we able to set our custom default log to the sp2013 site using code.So that users are not allowed to change from browser again.
    Thanks & Regards, Krishna

    Hi  Krishna,
    For your issue, you need to deploy a farm solution using HideCustomAction to hide site settings link. For example to hide “Title, description, and logo” link you can use below code:
    <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
    <HideCustomAction
    GroupId="Customization"
    HideActionId = "ProjectSettings"
    Location = "Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings">
    </HideCustomAction>
    </Elements>

  • How to disable the status icon in Skype 4 for Andr...

    Dear Skypers,
    How to disable the status icon in Skype 4 for Android phones?
    The guide on this following support page not working anymore: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12359/how-do-i-enable-or-disable-the-status-icon-in-skype-4-for-a...
    Older version has the option to disable Skype Status and get rid of the Skype icon on Android status bar. But latest 4.4.0.31835 could not disable Skype Status in notifications settings. :/
    Device: Google Nexus 4
    Android: 4.3 JWR66Y
    Skype: 4.4.0.31835
    Please bring back the option to disable the Skype icon on Android status bar. This is the main reason I uninstall Skype. :/
    Kudos to the team, the apps is really smooth and fluid to use. Would be nice if you guys are following the Android Design Principles and using Google Cloud Messaging for push notification to improve User Experience and battery life.
    Kind regards,

    how to get rid of skype icon on android status bar.png ‏46 KB

    Long click on this notification a sub menu having field "App info" would appear goto App Info. You can goto there by "Manage Apps">"Skype" also. 
    Uncheck Option "Show Notifications" A dialog will open. Don't worry about notifications for now just click OK. Now the notification icon skype has also been removed. 
    Now simply check "Show notification again". After doing this you would get notifications but skype icon would not be shown in the status bar anymore.
    Issue: this is just a trick you need to repeat this every time sign out and sign in again. Mostly you don't do that so no need to worry.

  • How to disable the validity of a particular Role for 100 users, in a single

    Hi
    How to disable the validity of a particular Role
    which is assigned to 100 users. (disabling the role of change the validity of the role )
    at present am doing manually, by entering into each user and changing the validity of the role
    Thanks.

    > How to disable the validity of a particular Role for 100 users, in a single ...
    ... shot?
    Assign a reference user to the 100+ users and create events in the factory calendar which assigns and removes the role from the reference user only.
    The downside is that it is not scalable for many of the same concepts at the same time, because a dialog user can at one logon time only have one reference user assigned to them.
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • Lost my iphone and located on map it using the fing phone app. The second I located it the phone went offline. Whoever has it knows how to disable the find feature. What are my alternatives? Can at

    Lost my iphone and located it on the map, using the find a phone app. The second I had the location the phone went offline. Apparently, whoever has it knows how to disable the find a phone feature. Do I have any alternatives? Can AT&T or the police track the phone?

    ATT won't unless they are asked to do so by the police and unless a major crime is involved, the police won't request this just for a stolen phone.
    If the iPhone is running iOS 6, sounds like you didn't have the passcode lock feature enabled. Nothing prevents someone from powering the iPhone off and the same for removing the SIM card.

    How to disable the vibration feature for the Alarm?

    Hi guys , because we have no answer to our issue how to take off the vibration when alarm is on , and our other profiles like ringtones, messages , reminders and so on we need to keep them on vibrate mode , the best solution is to install a free application from store called "alarmed " ; I did put it down on my phone and now i can use the alarm clock without any vibration at all ! That's the answer to our issue , before Apple is going to find a solution !
    Personally , I don't think is going to be fix it soon , as long as the apple script made for pop ups is general one !
    Good luck everyone

    i have changed the apple ID (email) but on my iphone , the icloud is stil asking me to log in whit the old email.And it is poping-up on every 10 seconds.I never used icloud, and i dont want to use it.I just dont know how to disable the icloud.

    If you see that pop up you enabled icloud. Whether you want or do not want now to use it irrelevant until you actually disable activation lock.
    In order to do that you have to change your apple id back to do that just long enough to sign in and back out. System will ask you to verify, don't.
    Just sign in on the prompt you getting and then logout. Once done, change apple id to what you have now and verify. Then decide if you want to
    use icloud (who does not want to be able to track their phone if lost or stolen).

  • I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

    I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

    If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model.  Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
    If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.
