How to get rid of annoying Shut Down prompt

That's right. I finally have an answer and not a question.
If you want to get rid of the prompt, "Are you sure you want to shut down?", hold down the option key while you choose shut down from the Apple Menu.
I found this tidbit in the book Mac OS X Conversion Kit. It compares, on one page, OS 9 options, and on the opposite page the OS X equivalent. It's a good quick reference guide, and I got it free from the library.

Want to shut down without even touching the mouse? Press CommandOption+ControlEject. If you have any applications open that need a document with changes saved, you'll get to do that first. Otherwise, it will immediately power down.

  • How to get rid of annoying icon

    So I just installed an update to acrobat 9 standard and now there is a big pdf icon overlaying my desktop in the upper right corner. It appears to have  no purpose other than to annoy me. How do I get rid of it? I'm on Win 7.
    TIA

    If it's simply an icon, then try deleting it from the desktop.

  • How to get rid of annoying grey bar on desktop?

    I don't know how it happened. (I think i might have pressed a shortcut or something) But i can't for the life of me, get rid of it.
    it's a thin grey bar which runs down the side of the desktop. I can't click on it or find how to turn it off.

  • After starting up a brand new 10.8.2 iMac it linked to an older iMac, 15 hrs later I have a duplicate screen of 10.6.8; how to get rid of all that down load and free up the new iMac?

    OK. Log into your migrated account. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate.
    Click on the Add [-] button and create a new account. Make it an Administrative account and name it whatever you want (but not the same as your current account) and set it up to login automatically. Log out of your current account and log into the new account. Now, select your migrated account and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. Select the bottom option to delete immediately. DO NOT select the option to erase securely.
    Now, you can choose to migrate again from your old account but be more selective of what you migrate or you can simply copy over the data you want.

  • How to get rid of annoying download button on Firefox 37.0.1

    This little download button pops up everytime I pass over anything downloadable, often covering up small buttons so I can't even see what they say. I already know how to download things, I don't need this annoying button.

  • How to get rid of annoying rectification of words.

    In the same sentence, I want to write part french, part english (on facebook). How can I avoid the unwanted and very annoying rectification of the words I'm using ? Many thanks.

    You have left us with too little information to help.
    First, this forum is for reporting specific problems with the Apple Support Community Forums. Is it in these forums that you are having probelms? If not, please tell us:
    the Apple device you are using (model and sub-model (if an Apple computer), iPad, iPod, iPhone)
    the Mac OSX version is it is a computer, and the iOS version if an Apple mobile device
    the Apple application you are using when this happens
    If this only happens with a non-Apple application, you'll need to contact that programs developer.

  • How to get rid of annoying tool tips while editing SQL files

    I'm using Visual Studio 2013 to edit an .SQL file and I have attached the editor to a local SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
    While editing the string that is passed to a sp_executesql procedure it keeps popping up a tool tip saying:
    "Parameter help is not supported for extended stored procedures"
    Generally I don't care about that and it is annoying because it keeps appearing over the top of the text I want to read. Is there any way to stop Visual Studio doing this?

    Hi aptitude,
    Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
    >>I'm using Visual Studio 2013 to edit an .SQL file and I have attached the editor to a local SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
    Could you share us more information about this issue? You said that you edit the .sql file, which kind of app did you create which would use the .SQL file? Whether it is related to the SQL Server database project or others?
    If it is related to the SQL Server Database project, please post this issue to the SSDT forum:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=ssdt
    >>While editing the string that is passed to a sp_executesql procedure it keeps popping up a tool tip saying:"Parameter help is not supported for extended stored procedures".
    Reference:

    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188001(v=sql.105).aspx
    But if it is related to the SQL Server, to really repro this issue, and make sure that whether this warning is related to the SQL scrip or others, maybe you could select a better forum here:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?category=sqlserver
    If I have misunderstood this issue, maybe you could share us a simple sample and the detailed steps in your new reply, so we could really repro this issue in our side.
    In addition, I did some research about the warning message:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173434.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    The IntelliSense functionality of the Database Engine Query Editor does not support all Transact-SQL syntax elements. Parameter help does not support the parameters in some objects, such as extended stored procedures. For more information, see
    Transact-SQL Syntax Supported by IntelliSense.
    In SQL Server, it seems that it is related to the IntelliSense, I'm not very sure that whether it is related to the IntelliSense of VS IDE, but generally we could enable or disable IntelliSense under TOOLS->Option->Text Editor in VS
    IDE.
    Maybe you could disable IntelliSense in VS IDE, and then check it again.
    If I misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.

    Writelady,
    I do not know of any such option. I don't think that it is even possible at this time, however it doesn't mean that maybe sometime in the future Apple or someone else will make a way to do such as your request.
    I do however think that you should let Apple know your opinion if you have not done such yet. You can give them product feedback at the following link. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
    I hope that this helps,

  • My iPad air has 32 gb, but I am down to about 3 gb.  What should (and how) I get rid of to free up space?

    My iPad air has 32 gb, but I am down to about 3 gb.  What should (and how) I get rid of to free up space?

    Are there apps you don't need or use? Delete them.
    Is there content you've downloaded from iTunes that you can delete (as long as it's available in iTUnes, you can redownload any previously purchased content)
    Do you have any large e-mails in your mailbox? Such as mails with photos.
    Do you have photos that you don't want or need anymore?
    Settings, general, usage can tell you how much space apps are taking up and that can help you choose what needs to go, what's part of the problem, etc.

    In PSE 10 you can click on Settings on the welcome screen and choose your preference. In earlier versions it’s best to make a desktop shortcut.

    That is the snippet container.
    You can hide that container or set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty String on the <b>about:config</b> to make Firefox use some default snippets.

    The following steps for troubleshooting iPhone display issues can also be useful for your iPad as well:

    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Verify the issue is not content related, by viewing different content.
    If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and Wallpaperand slide the slider.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
