John

Hi,
If you are connecting your phone in Data transfer mode, In system tray, click on Safely remove hardware. Once completing your work(transfer, copy etc), stop the device connected in data transfer mode and wait for the acknowledgement like it is now safe to remove your hardware similar to this. If you are connecting in PC suite mode or anything apart from data transfer mode, you can remove normally unplug your device from usb part.

How to share a usb connected drive as read only with smb

I have OS X 10.10 installed and want to share a folder on a USB connected hard drive (HFS+ formatted) via SMB as read only.
(The client computers should not be able to change nor delete files from the share.)
I created a share in system preferences->file sharing and configured only myself as user to have read/write access.
Still another user is able to connect to the share from another Mac running OS X 10.6.8 and can delete files from it!
I have disabled AFP sharing. Only SMB sharing is enabled.
Is there a major bug in SMB sharing in Yosemite or am I missing something.

How Do I remove a Connection?

Hi
I recently used my Nokia N96 to connect to the internet via my Linksys wireless router. Menu>Download>Options>Settings>Access Point>User Defined, how do I remove the name of my wireless router from this list?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Remove the access point from the phone and it'll no longer be in the list.
Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Destinations
Look for the access point in the various categories you'll see (it'll most likely be in the "Internet" category) and delete it.

How do i remove db connection links..

Hello, how do you remove DB links that get created as part of the conection properties?
I want to remove old dblink connections that no longer work. there is only a newlink button, a delete link button would be nice :/
Thanks,

Yes, RAB lets you remove the location from OWB's runtime repository. And remember, DB link is the result of deploying a connector between two locations.

How do I remove USB virtual printer port

Im having some problems printing (see different thread) so I have removed all reference to the printers and drivers (nothing in devices and printers; nothing in print management), Ive removed all USB devices (except the mouse) switched off and removed the
battery for 60 minutes. The restarted.
Still 3 USB ports
Ive tried
http://www.ehow.com/how_6688235_delete-usb-virtual-printer-port.html but I cant see the virtual USB ports in device manager
http://www.ehow.com/how_6910965_delete-usb-printer-port.html But I cant (unsurprisingly) find the ports in installed programs
http://www.ehow.com/how_5869559_remove-usb-printer-port.htmll (delete form devices and printers) But when I highlight the port from printer properties and click delete I get "selected port cannot be deleted. The request is not supported
Makes me think these are not properly installed ports.
Ive searched the registry for USB001 and there are 4 USB00? entries all under unknown printer with headings like 6&30e6e7fe&0&USB003. So I tried to deleted all of them. It lest me delete the parameter sub key but I am not allowed to delete the other
keys (error while deleting key)
So after a bit of a search I came up with psexec (see link for more details and do take backups and read the instructions)
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/56fed319-a532-46a4-a384-fd795998c4a3/regedit-permissions-access-denied-or-error-while-deleting-key-even-as-admin?forum=w7itproinstall
And that allowed me to get rid of the ports from the registry but they were still visible in Devices adn printers under ports (after slecting a device)
So how do I get rid of these wretched ports?

Hi,
Yes, you could create a new port for other printer. Of course, you also assign it to a different print if you don't use this printer.
The detailed steps are below:
1. Click the START button, click navigate to "Control Panel", then navigate to and click on "Printers."
2. Once the printers window is open, click on "Add a printer" in the dark blue menu bar.
3. At the "Choose a printer port" section click on the "Create a new port" radio button then select "Standard TCP/IP Port" for the "Type of port."
4. At the "Type a printer hostname or IP Address" section select "TCP/IP Device" for "Device type" and input the proper hostname depending on the printer that you are installing, the IPs for all of the different departmental printers can be gotten from the
main printer help page on this website.
5. At the "Type a printer name" section type in what you would like to call the printer under the "Printer name" section, this is entirely up to you. Here you also want to make sure that the driver that it says it will install corresponds with the model
of printer you are installing.
6. After the installation you should get a section called "You've successfully added [printername]." Here you should click the "Print a test page" button to make sure everything is installed correctly.

How to eject a usb connected disk from a time capsule device

hello,
i am currently using Time Capsule to backup several mac computers on a network. i would like to use the Archive utility to clone a copy of the Time Machine backup to an external usb device. i plan to purchase two external usb disks for this purpose, and swap them on occasion. how do i safely eject the external usb disk when i want to swap these drives? i don't see a way to do this in the Time Capsule documentation, but perhaps i am missing it. thanks.

That is because you installed a later version.. without realising that later versions removed all the useful tools.. but look much prettier..
Don't you want pretty.. if you want useful.. try this.
How to load 5.6 into Lion or ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Install directly into Lion you are done.
For ML, click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.

How do I remove all connected devices from my itunes account?

I recently let a friend use my itunes account to download an app on their 3rd gen ipod touch. I have already changed my password and email address associated with my itunes account. Their ipod was never synced to my computer, so it does not come up when I got into my itunes account and try to manage all the devices associated with it. I've already used my deauthorize all button once before. My ultimate goal is to have the app disappear on their ipod touch, is there anyway to do that? Was just changing my email address and password enough to get it off of their ipod touch?

Changing the access list associated with your account won't delete content off his iPod.
Changing the account prevents him from downloading new content under your account, including updates to existing applications, but it won't remove currently-installed applications. That will only happen when the device is connected to iTunes and a manual sync is performed.

How to permanently remove "This Connection is Untrusted" notification for all future websites everywhere forever?

Dear Mod/Helper/Whoever
Please read this entire post before answering since it addresses virtually all the most popular "solutions" for this problem and they DON'T WORK.
I've already found this and it was of no use: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1015256?esab=a&as=aaq
The moderator's blatant copy-paste response was an insult and not helpful at all.
My system date is ok and the cause of invalid certificate is the LEAST of my concerns. I just want to browse the website and not get ANY warnings about ANY invalid certificates or ANY risks involved, period. All popular workarounds with settings/advanced/validity properties have been tried but none of them fix this for me. I want FF to accept all invalid certificates instantly without notification or warning, no matter what.
I want to remove the warning screen "This Connection is Untrusted" permanently for all future references, so that I don't even see any errors related to it when I browse a website.
I'm not here to argue the merits or lack thereof for this action, I just want to get rid of it.
I'm running a lot of custom software on my comp and I have 3 LAN cards connecting me to 3 different networks with varying degrees of security and this notification is a huge pain in the... back, because it eats my time every day.
I've been using Firefox for years exactly because it didn't have stuff like this in the past - I could visit all the funny/suspicious/malicious websites without problems, where IE would have died 10 times over. Sadly that FF feature began changing to the worse in the past years, an ever-increasing slope downwards for this once great web browser.
I KNOW all the risks involved and I don't care. In fact I encourage websites to try and install "stuff" on my computer because as I mentioned, this is a special computer. I'm visiting 40-50 websites with that prompt DAILY because that's what I do for a living. Every time I have to add an exception is a wasted effort and time. I'm running other browsers as well but FF is my focus due to its popularity.
Please for the love of all that is sacred, provide some sort of workaround for this without the need to install an addon or click "I understand the risks" a gazillion times. An "about:config" variable would be nice but apparently it's not there, I looked.

That is not possible as that would expose you and other Firefox users to unacceptable security vulnerabilities.
The normal procedure is to contact the website maintainer and ask them to fix the certificate chain or install missing root certificates in Firefox and set the trust bits accordingly.
If you do not care about certificates then why don't you install proxy software and use that proxy and let it handle the certificates and import the root certificate of that proxy in Firefox?

Zyriab's suggestion is the best way. But if you have Terminal-phobia, use Disk Utility (diskutil's GUI counterpart). All successfully connected drives should be listed in the sidebar on the left.

Have recently acquired an additional black MacBook, and installed Snow Leopard onto it. Trying to get it to connect via a plug-in USB wifi unit (poor reception on Airport) I have an extra Network Location which does not work. How can I remove it?

Need to get a second hand black MacBook connected. Poor reception on Airport so tried a plug in wifi aerial. That didn't work, but now have a Network Location I can't get rid of. How do I remove it ?

Hello my ginger,
I tried what you suggested - but to no success. The problem came up when I was re-entering the new settings. If I left it as using DHCP it would run for a few seconds with no IP address, then drop in a 169.254 one which would not connect through. To overcome this I tried using the 'Using DHCP with manual address' option and entered in an address which it had set up from the clone boot. This appeared to be okay. When I then tried renewing DHCP lease sometimes that address held. When I tried connecting though - no sight of the internet, and the exclamation mark was across the wifi icon in the menu bar. If I switched it to Using DHCP it would randomly fall back to the 169.254 address.
The only significant differences I could see when cross checking all the settings info was in the WINS panel the NetBIOS had a slightly different configuration of the name - but as they ended in the same numbers I assumed they were the same. And, when looking under Keychain Access, in the System section list (it also appeared in the login section) additional info box they had different locations - 28 characters in four groups. I don't have a clue what this refers to. Also the allow access list in the boot clone included System Preferences, but did not in the Snow Leopard boot, so I added it in. With no success.
I am so frustrated I am thinking of giving up. I seen have loads of postings on the net about a variety of problems with wifi connection on Snow Leopard. I have version 10.6.3. Did it get any better in later Snow Leopard ? Or in any of the OS s after that ? It was always so easy and so solid under Leopard - why the h**l did they change it ?

I've had three laptops all connected to my itunes account, one was stolen, the other broke, how can I remove them from my itunes account?

So, in three years, after getting an iphone and an apple account I've had to replace a laptop twice due to theft or damage. When I link my phone to my new computer, it asks me if I want to connect the computer with the phone and I say yes, but you can only have 5 devices connected to one account, since one was stolen, and the other laptop broke, how do I remove them from my account??

De-authorise all, then authorise the one you still have.

How can i create a new usb connection (service) on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.

this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.
