How to prevent accidentially mouse action to stop screensaver

How can i prevend an accidentially mouse movement, caused by housekeeping, to stop the screensaver. It's for the Mac of my mother who lives in a house for elderly people, and i want to Mac to operate as quite as possible, not attracting to much attention. I use it for iChat with automatic call acception.

Your right, however when the computer sleeps, iChat logs out. Then I have to use WakeOnLan to wake the Mac, which is not a problem for me, but for the rest of my family.
I will start experimenting with a black screensaver, with sleeping the screen only, hiding the dock and setting brightness high when a chat is accepted and low when the chat is ended. That must do the trick.

  • ADF 11g How to prevent reinvokation method action after error

    We have a page with an action binding that is invoked automaticaly on entering the page:
    <executables>
    <invokeAction id="invokeProcess" Binds="process"/>
    If an error (exeption) occurs the invoke action will be called 5 times. This is that our underlying BPEL-Process is also invoked 5 times.
    How can we prevent the resubmit after an exception occures?

    How are you bringing this up for edit? Via a dialog?
    Have you looked at "setCurrentRowWithKeyStr" operation in the page def? Our application uses dialogs for editing one row at a time, when the user clicked on the row via a command link, we call setCurrentRowWithKey to make sure the view object's iterator cursor is at the right location when this record is brought up for edit.

  • How to prevent middle mouse click to move the cursor but still poaste the clipboard ?

    This is a linux only issue.
    When i'm typing a text editing box, i use the select text/middle click gesture to copy/paste text.
    But the middle click not only paste the selected text but move the cursor at the actual mouse position before.
    I don't want this behavior, because :
    1. I work a lot with vim, where you don't mouve the cursor using the mouse, so i must change my habit when i'm using firefox.
    2. When i middle click, event if i put the mouse in the right place, i might mouve it a bit and the text will be pasted on the wrong place
    I've been looking in the about:config and the only related option is
    middlemouse.paste;
    If i put it to false, the middle click button does not mouve the cursor, nor does it paste.
    Any idea how to achieve that ?

    I do not find the cursor moving on me if I use middle-click to paste text or url that is in that I highlighted into clipboard. Whether I used my Logitech MX510 or the T-CH!!/T-CL13 trackballs that I use now.
    The right-click and copy selection then right-click and paste to paste contents where Caret is method can be more precise though.

    Thanks
    Sukumar

    Hello Sukumar
    In IMG activity "Configure Properties of Change Request Step", you can completely deactivate the reuse area checks (but will then loose all other checks of the backend business logic as well).
    You can also set the error severity of the checks from Error to Warning (per CR type, not per check).
    Or you provide a default value for the material description, e.g. by implementing the BAdI USMD_RULE_SERVICE.

  • How to disable mouse actions for Spotlight?

    Spotlight causes me problems, because it is activated, when the middle button of my three-button mouse is pressed. Many X11 and Windows applications have some functions for the middle button and then Spotlight grabs it and nothing else works as it should. Hence, I would like to disable all such mouse functions in Spotlight and other mouse bindings and use mouse only as a pointing device, as it originally was intended to. How can this be done - I cannot find any such hotkeys etc. defined in System Preferences.
    ArNO

    ArNo,
    the central button can be programmed to do anything from System preferences ->Keyboard and Mouse-> Mouse. Use the drop down box to select "none" if you dont want the middle button to do anything.
    If you use a lot of x11 apps that require a different set of actions than the normal mouse environment, I would consider creating a separate user account and turn on fast user switching in system preferences->accounts.
    Then you can customize the user environment (mouse actions, etc) to be utilized differently for each unique operating environment.

  • How to prevent users accessing hotspot

    hi all
    i have to resolved this issue your help will be benefit for me
    i have users on the internal network when using wireless has restrictions on brwosing the internet but if when the receive signal from hotspot or somewhere else they connect to it and have no restrictions on their laptops so can someone explain me how to prevent them connection to the hotspot when they are inside the corporate LAN
    thx

    If you have a Cisco WLC you can at least do rogue access point detection with Cisco Cleanair capable AP's.
    Firstly, WLC cannot stop your staff from accessing your neighbor's Wi-Fi.  You also cannot "jam" or contain your neighbor's Wi-Fi signal.  As what Steve said, there's no way a Cisco appliance can do.  A system/network admin can, on the other hand, lock down the profiles and policy via AD what the client can/can't do with wireless.
    After a few fines/written discplinary actions people should stop.
    If you tell a kid "no", what do you think a kid will do?  This works the same way with adults.
    Take our case, this government agency decided to embrace Wi-Fi.  So they got this team together and we, networks, went around installing the latest Cisco WAP in a 10-storey building (including pre- and post- site survey).  Works well.  During tests, clients can seamlessly roam their laptops from one end of the floor to the other.  Tick of approval.
    Then security came, and they put down this policy:
    1.  No one can use internet dongles anymore; and
    2.  The only sites Wi-Fi users can use over the internet are Yahoo and Google 
    Because of this, everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) stopped using Wi-Fi.  From the CEO down to the rank-and-file.  Wi-Fi usage, per month, was at (an average) 12.  Users went back to the un-restricted USB internet dongles and the Wi-Fi network became a white elephant.  Internet usage cost went through the roof but the Security team stood their ground and did not waver.
    My story is this:  The more you restrict, the more they'll find loopholes.  Every corporation is now being proactive and are implementing BYOD.

    How to Configure Mighty Mouse in Windows 7?
    For example the 3rd and 4th Buttons on the Mighty Mouse.
    How to configure those actions in Windows 7?

    There is no need for additional drivers.
    Why?
    If you have a Wireless Mighty Mouse you have to turn your computer visible for other devices in the Bluetooth preferences - then simply search for Bluetooth devices, connect - done!
    To configure the Mighty Mouse's buttons, you might want to have a look at a tool called X-Mouse Button Control (http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm).

  • How to prevent JFileChooser automatically changing to parent directory?

    When you show only directories, and click on the dir icons to navigate, and then dont select anything and click OK, it automatically 'cd's to the parent folder.
    My application is using the JFileChooser to let the user navigate through folders and certain details of 'foo' files in that folder are displayed in another panel.
    So we dont want the chooser automatically changing dir to parent when OK is clicked. How to prevent this behavior?
    I considered extending the chooser and looked at the Swing source code but it is hard to tell where the change dir is happening.
    thanks,

  • How can I pause an action while recording so I can...

    Hi all,
    I have made many actions before but I do not know how to do this. Ok I want to make an action which will unlock the background layer then duplicate that layer and add adjustment mask to the new layer, I have gotten all this done. But on the final stage of the action I want to open Shadow/Highlight adjustment window; now at this point I want the playing action to stop while I adjust the S/H then continue after I hit OK. I have tried inserting stop into the recording but that does not work. Is there any way to do this? I am working with PS CS2 on a Mac G5. Thanks for any help!

    To the left of the listing of »Shadows/Highlights« in the Actions Panel is a field, which can be toggled: »Toggle dialog on/off«
    If You hit that it should turn into a little symbol of a dialog-window (I guess) and on subsequently running that Action You should be able to do edits in the dialog-panel and have the Action resume on hitting Enter.

    on the same dates you mean the same request are posted in IT2001? ie both full days?
    Please clarify
    usually the Time collision checks are followed only via posting using report rptarqpost and not while applying through portal in ESS
    This is very strange you indicate
    SO you need to check the basic tables first
    You may need to check the collision.
    Collisions Tables V_T554Y and V_554Y_B reaction indicators.
    and V_T508A
    able T582A set to time constraint of "Z
    In backend Pa30 collision works like this
    1) the logical collision, checks if there is an overlap in the validity
    interval of the IT´s (begda, endda).
    2) the physical collision, checks if there is an overlap in the time
    interval of the IT's.
    In the logical collision it is checked if there is an overlap in the
    validity interval if at least one of the records is a full-day
    ( that is the case when you enter a Daily Work Schedule (DWS) )
    So when one of the records has a DWS it is considered to be a full day
    record and the logical collision is taken into consideration.
    If instead you enter the only the time interval manually the records
    are considered to be partial-day and the physical collision is
    performed. In that case only the time interval is important.
    So if the clock times are not entered the physical collision can not
    take place.
    The collision functionality is always based on clock times and dates,
    never on the total nr of hours.

  • How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

    Hello guys
    I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
    I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
    I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
    Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
    Please advise
    Thank you

    Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

  • The passcode lock code at the iPhone 4 was broken into by a program from Internet. ( By connecting the phone to a PC that program tells the passcode) Does someone knows how to prevent unauthorized opening of iPhone? How to secure the passcode ?

    My daughter has an iPhone 4 secured with passcode lock. A visitor in their house took her unattended iPhone, connected to the PC, from a certain program got her pascode and did open her phone to go through her private messages. Does someone knows how to prevent this? How to secure the Phone from unauthorized opening?
    Thanks in advance for all suggestions!!!

    Hi igmusla,
    It seems someone has stolen your daughters phone there is an application called FindMyiPhone if she had location services on and the thief hasn't disabled it you can possibly track the phone down. Sadly you cannot stop the thief from gaining access to her phone and personal information. Please report your phone stolen to your local police station and call Apple aswell, they can possibly put a lock on your phone aswell as put it into a carrier block which prevents the thief from calling anyone or putting a new sim card in it.

  • How to Prevent SharePoint Farm Password from Changing

    I have been trying to stop the SP farm account, spfarm, from password changing.  SharePoint Central Administration is used and I go to Central Security -> Configure managed accounts.  I set spfarm not to change but it makes no difference. 
    It still changes.  When that happens it screws up the SharePoint VSS Writer service account and backups fail (the password synch script has to run to fix).  When the setting in SP CA is changed to allow password changes, the SharePoint VSS Writer
    service account still has a problem and backups fail.
    Additionally, I have run the two below scripts when necessary to try to correct the problem and it works until the password changes again.  It seems as though the password changes whenever the server restarts or at least once every week or so. 
    Can anyone help me with this?  I don't care if the password changes on a schedule as long as it doesn't cause the SharePoint VSS Writer service to fail during backup.

    Hi Tony,
    In SBS 2011, use 3 different accounts to run Windows SharePoint Foundation. The accounts are spfarm (SharePoint

    How to Prevent SharePoint Farm Password from Changing
    I will suggest that set the password expiry to be longer (such as: a month or 365 days or even more) and apply
    it. Maybe a workaround.
    By the way, the Windows SBS Manager service manages the spfarm account. This spfarm account will be found under
    MyBusiness-> Users-> SBS Users in ADUC. If you navigate to the spfarm account in ADUC and open the Properties of it, then select
    “Password never expires” under Account options in Account tab. Please check if this can help you to achieve target.
    Hope this helps.
