How to prevent Reminders from automatically creating alerts

In the OS X Reminders app, every time I edit a reminder with a date in it, it adds an alert. I want to use Reminders as a simple check list. The date it grabs may not be when it's due anyway. It's never what I want. Maybe I have a reminder like "Buy chips for the party on Saturday". It will make an alert for Saturday, but I need to buy the chips way before then!
It's a pain to go in and edit the alert and turn it off every time I edit something. I wish there was a preference to turn this off.
I noticed that using the esc key after editing a reminder will not create the alert. But, it also doesn't save the edit! When I quit Reminders and relaunch it, my edits are gone where I used the esc key.
Thanks.

How to prevent headings from automatically appearing in the doc

Hi,
I want to generate "printed documentation," in other words a Word file, from RoboHelp. RoboHelp automatically is taking the names of my TOC books and is putting them at the top of each section in the doc file as a heading (uses the same styles consistently, using Heading 1 at the top level and Heading 2 as a sub level). I don't want this to happen. I didn't see anything about preventing this from happening on the Troubleshooting page.
For the record I am using my own CSS -- in other words the project's CSS -- when creating the doc file. RoboHelp apparently is assigning the heading style to be used in Word.
Can I prevent headings from being automatically created in the doc file, or do I have to remove them manually in the generated .doc?
Thanks,
Chris

If your print layout includes the books, then their titles will print.
If you only include topics, the book titles will not be included.

How to prevent FireFox from automatically pinning itself to the Windows 7 taskbar

Please tell me how to permanently disable FF from pinning itself to the taskbar?
Every time I launch FF and then close it, it pins itself to the taskbar. If I wanted it to be pinned there, I would have done it myself.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I have a FireFox link in the Quick-Launch area that I have re-added to the taskbar, so pinning FF to the taskbar is redundant and space consuming.

How to prevent itunes from automatically adding tunes to library? These are tunes I select to play, but itunes inserts them in the library and then I have to go delete them.

If I select a tune to listen to, it opens in itunes and itunes adds it to the library. I would like to stop itunes from doing this, but I can't find a control to do this or to let me make quicktime be the default player. So I am constantly deleting stuff that it adds, PIA!

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.

How to prevent Premiere from shifting timeline around

Every time I delete or shorten footage, Premiere Elements 8 automatically shifts my whole timeline over to fill in the gap... and it is really annoying me because I don't want it to do that.
What really bothers me, is that sometimes it doesn't shift the whole timeline over. Sometimes it will shift one of my audio and video tracks, but not the 3rd or fourth track which causes my whole project to go out of sync just because I shortened/deleted something on the timeline.
There must be a setting somewhere that prevents Premiere from automatically closing the gaps... but I can't find it...
Can someone tell me how to change this?

texdig2
This is a 3 year old thread in which the participants have not signed into the thread or Adobe Premiere Elements Forum in months/years. It was the time of Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 apparently.
What do you want to do in Premiere Elements 13 - create a fast motion effect in a video clip in Premiere Elements 13 without the clip to its right moving to the left
to fill the gap created during creation of the fast motion effect or other?
In Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace, I find that I can create a fast motion video effect with Tools/Time Remapping and return to the Expert workspace with the gap maintained.
Whereas, if I use Time Stretch, the gap is closed automatically. See screenshot for details ...first set of 3 clips, where Time Remapping Fast Motion 4x was applied to the second clip and second set of 3 clips where Time Stretch Speed % = 400 was applied to the second clip. Note audio consequences if audio involved.

What seeting on SW2, DC, HA1 and Wi-FI should I change in order to have access to internet from Alex1\DC and Alex1\HA1?
I was planning to use internet to download/install pacthes/updates for windows and sql servers located on Alex1\
I plan to build 6 more Win 2012 server eval and join then to Alex1\
Thank you
Alex

I see.
1. 192.168.0.0 addresses are not routable across the public Internet. Even if the whole world knows you're using that space, the information is useless. But if you feel better hiding it, OK.
2. Internal doesn't allow communications with a physical network either. Only the external type does.
3/4. Your problem is not really with Hyper-V. It's with IP.
Your machines are all able to communicate with each other because they're on the same switch and the same subnet. No gateway is required. If you have a computer with an IP of 192.168.1.8 and its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then it will be able to communicate
with any computer on the same switch with an IP of 192.168.1.anything. It's when they need to talk to computers off of that subnet (anything that doesn't fit the 255.255.255 mask) that they have a problem. For that, you need a gateway somewhere. You can't
use "DC" for the gateway because it's not performing routing services.
You have two choices.
One is to use an external switch so that your guests are directly connected into your physical network. That will take over your WiFi adapter, so you'll probably want to set the share option so your Win8.1 box continues to function. Then just use a common
IP subnet with everything else on your home network.
The second is to set up a software router. If you are using an internal virtual switch, then this has to be in the Win8 environment. I might be mistaken, but I think that
Internet Connection Sharing would even work for this. If you are using an internal virtual switch, then your Win8 system should see two (or more) adapters. One of them is the physical adapter (we'll call it wNetAdapter) and one would be the virtual adapter
(we'll call it vNetAdapter) it uses on the virtual switch. Once you set up ICS, you would have all of your VMs use the IP address that you assigned to vNetAdapter as their gateway.

How to prevent B1 from populating the grid with components?

Hello group,
We have customized a form that pops up when user enters a parent item (of a template-type BOM) in the quotation grid. The form displays the component items and lets the user mark which items to "paste" onto the quotation. However, B1 automatically populates the grid with the component items once focus moves away from the item code column.
How to prevent B1 from populating the grid with components while retaining the parent item in the item code column? I've tried trapping the Validate event, etc. with no success.

Instead of setting the parent item up as a template type BOM, you could set up the list of parent/child items on a user table and use this user table to display the items in your pop-up screen. As the parent item would no longer be a template BOM, Business One would no longer automatically popuplate the grid, and you could write your own code to add only the items selected in your pop-up screen into the grid.

How 2 prevent time from changing on leopard and vista?

if i maintain successive boots into the same OS on my macbook, the time is shown correctly, whereas on booting into another OS changes the time. how to prevent this from happening?
Neerav

From what my brother says says about his set-up (he boots into 64 bit Vista periodically), apparently you can't. My understanding is that the two systems do a different version of time at boot, Vista uses a GMT setting in bios, and I think Mac use a local time in EFI. Anyway, the result is several hours difference between the two. I don't use Boot Camp, but I would think if you are on a network with Internet access, you should be able to have the clock reset automatically using System Prefs->Date and Time, and check the box at the top to automatically set the time from the Apple time server.

How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

Hey there.
I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
Thanks for your help

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
I have two tables: table A and table B.
Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
There is an index on this column in table A.
So I instead of
where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
When I use the join in a select statement it works.
But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
Any ideas why this happens?
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
Regards Hartmut

I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
In SQL*Plus:
SET LINESIZE 130
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.

Preventing Itunes from automatally synching

I want to prevent itunes from automatically syching when I plug in my iPod. I have music on my Ipod that is not in my library and I understand that synching will cause music to be erased from the iPod.
I went into EDIT, SETTINGS, DEVICES, and then checked the box "Prevent Automatic Synchronizing of ipods, iPhones, and iPads" and then clicked on "OK".
THIS DID NOT WORK. When I plugged in my iPod, the device immediately said on the screen "synchronizing".
What am I to do?

After plugging in your ipod to your computer, click on it under devices. A summary screen comes up. Towards the bottom under options you can click on Manually sync. Uncheck the sync only.... box. Now it will not auto sync.
