Open Universal Access preferences. Under either the Keyboard or Mouse tab should be a checkbox option to prevent accidental input when typing. If you don't find it there then check in the Trackpad preferences.

Is it possible to disable the trackpad when a wireless or usb mouse is present? With Lion 10.7.2, I can not find the checkbox that was there before I installed Lion. Is the option gone on Lion?

There is no BIOS in OS X. There is only the EFI stored in ROM that is not user modifiable. OS X is probably checking Bay 0 for the boot drive since that is where it should be. It won't check the Tempo drive since it is treated like an external drive. I suggest you open Startup Disk preferences to see if the Tempo device is selected as the boot device. If it isn't, then select it. That will probably shave off a few seconds in the startup time.

Is there a keybaord shortcut to disable the trackpad?

When typing on the built-in keyboard of the 13" MBP is is very difficult not to inadvertently touch the trackpad and end up typing at the wrong point of the text.
OK one can disable the trackpad in accessibility options when a mouse is connected but then one wants to be able to use both scrolling systems simultaneously of possible. And anyway one often doesn't want to add a mouse just to disable the trackpad.
What would be highly useful is a keyboard shortcut to kill the trackpad, so you can re-enable it as and when needed.
Or if that is considered too risky then one that temporarily suspends the trackpad for say 15 seconds to allow you some thinking time while typing.
This would surely be a nice feature and one that would greatly enhance the user experience.
Surely it can't be beyond the wit of Apple to implement such a thing?
Or is there already a solution available?

I don't think so, you have to change it in the system preferences. You can ask Apple to add this via

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.

Disable the Textfield while editing the HTML form item

How to disable a texfield while editing the HTML form item ? It should be enabled while creating the new form entry / record.
Yogesh

Yogesh,
If you 'disable' an item and submits (UPDATE) the page, then disabled item value won't get submitted. So the disabled item value will get updated with NULL or you will get any validation failures messages, if you have any.
Better option would be, make the item read-only during Update. For the text item for which you want disable, edit that item,goto 'Read-only Conditions', here set the condition so that user can't edit it during UPDATE. Here you can use same conditions as of your 'UPDATE' button 'display conditions'

How I disable the iPad picture frame mode?

Several times I looked in the settings but could not find this option, just in the passcode settings, but I turned off the passcode, the picture frame is turned on WHY? And how I disable the picture frame? I looked this on youtube in an iPad review video at 2:35 min: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aly5Q_mUhVI
Thanks for the help.

Of course you can.
If you don't want the little flower icon appearing on the unlock screen, set the Allow Picture Frame to Off under Passcode in General Settings.
If you want to deactivate the Pcitrue Frame mode while its running, tap the home button once, and click on the Flower icon at the bottom right whihc should be blue since its on.

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).

How to see the object while moving on the artboard?

hello everyone;
maybe a silly question; how to see the object while moving on the artboard? i dont wanna see only the objects bounding box(outline of the object). i wanna see the object it self. thank you.

What have they gone and messed up now?
When I drag an object (with bounding boxes turned on), the object moves and the bounding box stays still until I stop dragging, upon which it snaps to the object’s new position.
If I don’t have bounding boxes turned on (as I usually work), the object moves when dragged.
If what Bedri says is right, they’ve gone and mended something that wasn’t busted.

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.

I've had the same issue bugging me since installing Snow, er, lion, er, cat, er, cougar, er, Mountain Lion. Incredibly ANNOYING.
It's stupid stuff like this and reverse scrolling that really turn long-timer users off. I'm personally glad Forstall got fired for blunders such as these.
I'm serious peeved that turning off iCloud Documents & Data actually deletes documents and data locally. That's just incredibly stupid.
MANY thanks mende1 for the answer on how to fix it.
