How to make Macbook bluetooth not always discoverable.

I'm running Yosemite on a Macbook Pro, I use bluetooth devices so need to keep bluetooth on, but don't want it to always be discoverable by other devices. My Macbook Pro, (which is named as my full name), shows up to anyone close by with a bluetooth device. No bueno.

Do you live in a set of flats or high-density housing? No one really uses bluetooth unless you know you've got nerds/computer experts in adjacent rooms.
If you're in a house you really don't have to worry about a thing as practical bluetooth range is only about 15feet or 4meters.
Solutions:
Change your Mac's name (System Preferences > Sharing) to anything you want. I personally recommend names like NSA Surveillance, Mordor, Captain Kirk, Tardis, Jarvis, Skynet Server, HAL, etc.
Turn bluetooth off when you don't need it.
FYI, when two bluetooth devices are connected, the device is no longer in discoverable mode.
Also, when you close the system preferences window (settings on the iPhone) The device exits discovery mode.

How do I keep Sticky Note always maximized.
I got one sticky note maximized on open of file
but on another file, the sticky note minimized itself.
Anyone who can help to keep sticky note always maximized . Thank you.

You can only uninstall from an administrative account. Be aware you are not supposed to have Reader and Acrobat on the same machine. Uninstalling Acrobat 9 will break Reader which will need to be re-installed. For Vista compatability make sure you update to 8.1.3 or later.

How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password?

Hello all
How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password? I am writing a selenium job to automate cache invalidation to load test a production issue we are facing. Selenium is opening a fresh firefox session and prompting for username and password every time. I am also trying to modify my script such that it will use the same session again and not prompt for username and password. But I thought of asking this question in the group.
Your inputs will help a lot.
Thanks,
Sundar

Hi,
You can set enabled property of /atg/dynamo/servlet/adminpipeline/AuthenticationServlet/ to false. It will not prompt for authentication.

How to make iTunes Match not convert my files ALACs in 256 kbps (VBR)? How to get iTunes convert CDs in Apple loselss? The difference between 256 (VBR) and Apple Losless is very clear...

Dear Michael, good day!
1. As per your instruction, I turned off iTM.
Small discrepancy – where are two screens with iTM switch:
-Settings > iTunes & App Store.
-Settings > Music
I switched OFF in both.
NB: I turned device to English for convenience.
2. My next step was Setting > General > Usage – tapped {Music};
{All music} screen appeared; I swiped it and taped Delete.
3. I performed “hard reset” …………………………………..
4. Switched back On iTM
5. Taped Music app on Home screen
iTM has started – (it took 18 minutes to completed, 60 mbps Wi-Fi speed )
Regret to inform… All the same:
Erase and reset to factory default? Or I did smf wrong?

How to make a JScrollPane not getting Focus?

How to make a JScrollPane not getting Focus?
When i tab out from a textfield inside a scroll pane focus is going to ScrollPane .And if i press tab once more then only focus is going to other textField which is outside the scrollpane.
For me when i press tab from a text field inside a scrollPane ,i should go to textfield out side the scroll pane.

How to make Macbook work with closed display?

I need to make MacBook to be closed (display) most of the time and work with external monitor, keyboard and mouse (actually trackball as I have been hating any type of mice since 1998 and not using it even at work).
Now I do not like mediocre resolution of small MacBook display and I prefer my 20 inch wide monitor. Also the keyboard is rather for quick work in small areas like restroom rather than comfortable work on big desk (I hate notebook keyboards either as they make me feel claustrophobic and crunching my fingers).
Considering recent buzz on Mac Mini not living for too long into future I would love to find alternative solution (meaning I do not want computer with display and keyboard in one and I do not have needs of spending few thousand of dollars for big metal case good for feeding and breeding birds I have ergonomics demands, but not higg performnce processing needs.
So can you tell me how I make Apple notebook being closed (and perhaps squashed by monitor stand) behave like a CPU box?
Thanks,
Maciek

Thnaks, but I am not interested in bluethooth/wireless solution. That minimum of cable to reach CPU does not bother me and I do not buy big monitor to work on my computer from adjacent room. I just need space for more windows and I think Apple did great job having USB Hub on keyboard that allows stringing mouse and keayoboard with one cable to CPU.
Also I haven't heard of wireless KVM and I use such solution. This is not my only computer as I run home network and two of them in my room are supposed to share keyboard, mouse and monitor. So far I was successful to run this setup, but I need inexpensive plain CPU from Apple to be able to find comfortable solution to work.
Well I could drop the other computer if Apple managed to provide everything that I need (how about Safari properly working with Citrix client and Remote Desktop to Windows as I do not want Firefox on Apple computer? Only Firefox fixes the problems with this software).

How to fix a bluetooth not available?

Did somebody can help me on how to fix my macbook because is shows a message bluetooth not available

Hi Peter411,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the Bluetooth on your MacBook Pro. If Bluetooth is suddenly showing up as Not Available, you may want to try the following process:
OS X: Bluetooth devices become unresponsive - Apple Support
You may also want to try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC), as outlined in this article:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support

How to make a button not clickable???

i wanna make a button not clickable, once it is clicked... help me to do this
Thanks
Rubin

you can either call setEnabled(false) or remove the listenerFor sake of GUI ergonomics, I'd suggest the first solution.
If you implement the second solution, you'll have the user clicking on the button again and again and asking himself why nothing happens.

How to make a label not to blink in cwgraph plot area

I use CWGraph control in measurement studio 6.0. In my program, there is a interrupt, that draws a curve using PlotXvsY(xData,yData) and then display a label using TextOut() (VC function) in plot area .When running my program, the label blinked on the screen because every time drawing a curve earses the previous label. How to keep the label not to be earsed.Thank you.

Hi,
May be you can do like, create a timer, and in when timer expired trigger,
toggle the label's color
may be the below sample code -- when-timer-expired trigger
If Get_Item_Property( 'text_item4', FOREGROUND_COLOR )
      != Get_Item_Property( 'text_item4', BACKGROUND_COLOR ) Then
      Set_Item_Property( 'text_item4', FOREGROUND_COLOR, Get_Item_Property( 'text_item4', BACKGROUND_COLOR ) ) ;
Else
      Set_Item_Property( 'text_item4', FOREGROUND_COLOR, 'r0g0b0' ) ;
End if ;This i've done for textitem, same logic you can use for labels

MacBook Bluetooth Not Available

The bluetooth icon in the Menu Bar has a squiggle through it. When you click the icon the massage sas Bluetooth: Not Available. In the Hardware Profile under Bluetooth it states No Information. I used to have Bluetooth. It is no longer functioning
I tried resetting the PRAM based on another post. The above is all still the same. I still do not have Bluetooth.
Any thoughts?

Do you see Bluetooth in System Preferences ??
Could be a corrupted Bluetooth preference. Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Check the Bluetooth icon in the status menu bar.
