How to stop hourly alarm like a cuckoo clock

My MacAir all of a sudden starts to go off like a cuckoo clock on the hour of each hour. How do I stop it. My daughter thinks that I must have accidentally hit some keys to enable this function, Now I just want it to stop

My suspicion is still that this is caused by some software you have installed. One thing to do would be to generate a system profile via EtreCheck, paste the output here, and maybe someone can spot what software might be generating this sound.

How to stop "would you like to help improve FF" popup?

I am trying to run automated tests (Selenium) of out web application, and every time it opens a FF window it gets blocked by a popup saying "Would you like to help improve Mozilla FF etc)". I have tried clicking No and restarting FF, and also un-checking Submit Performance Data in Options.
Please let me know what I need to do, as I can't continue with the task I'm meant to be doing until I can fix this!
Thanks...

If selenium doesn't use that profile, but creates a new profile or initialize that profile in another way then it won't work.
Is that pref still set?
If a new profile is created then try to initialize that pref via a user.js file in the default template folder "\defaults\profile" (you need to create that folder in the Firefox program folder).
<pre><nowiki>user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", true);
</nowiki></pre>

How to stop "FROM AROUND THE WEB" and "You May Like" from coming up on each page that I browse

It is very frustrating when I am on Mozilla looking at various websites and on each page that I go to either "FROM AROUND THE WEB" or "You May Like" come up in the middle of the page with links to other websites that I am not interested in viewing.
Also when I am shopping on the internet another pop up called Deals, brought by iWebar keeps popping up and also "Deals" by Deal Finder. I did not change any of my settings, I only updated Mozilla Firefox and then all of these things started happening. This is very frustrating and I want to know how to turn this off. I did not sign up for any of these things, and want to be advised on how to remove them.
Could you please advise how to stop these as I really do not want these options as I am browsing and I will go back to Internet Explorer if this continues to happen. I look forward to hearing from you promptly. Thank you

Hi Kerri,
You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this adware. Be very careful what you agree to install. 
Adware gets on your computer after you have installed a freeware software (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) that had bundled into their installation this browser hijacker.
You can use the below steps to revert back to adware-less Firefox.
1) Reset Prefs
*Navigate to '''about:config''' in your Address Bar
*Press the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button to proceed
*Search for iWebar and reset all prefs that pull up by right clicking > Reset
2) Remove any programs that you don't recognize or remember installing from your Control Panel (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program)
3) Remove any extensions that you don't recognize or remember installing from Firefox.
*(Press the menu button ([[Image:new fx menu]] > Add-ons > Extensions)
4) Download ADW Cleaner to wipe out any remnants of the adware.

Go to Settings/ Store and under the category "Automatic Downloads" you can turn OFF the automatic download of purchases to your device (this needs to be done for each device). There's also a setting in iTunes just for automatic pushes to your iTunes library.
To remove a purchase you've made directly to your device, you can either:
a- Swipe across the song title from left to right and press Delete, or
b- If you auto-sync your device, connect to iTunes and click on the Music tab where you define your sync settings (the Music tab is to the right of the overall Summary page of your device). At the bottom of the Music tab you'll see direct purchases that are on your device -- simply un-check those and click "Apply" or "Sync" to remove them.
c- If you manually manage music on your device, connect to iTunes and click the small arrow to the left of your device name, and then click on the Music folder under your device. Then navigate to the item(s) you want to remove and then delete them.
To prevent things from syncing from your library to your device, there are many ways to do that (un-checking things in your library is one way, but not the best IMO). Might want to read the manual or some online tutorials on iTunes if you want to learn more.

How to stop irritating auto-reloading of the tabs (pages) [i don't have any extensions or apps]

Seems like this problem appeared quite often, nevertheless i spent an hour in search of an answer surfing the net, alas, nothing..
Problem: since today Safari started to reload almost every single page whenever i switch between tabs or sometimes even while im stil on the page. Fot example - i'm watching a movie, stoped it - switched to facebook tab to reply to my friend, then back to the tab with the video & no sooner i get back as the page with video auto-refreshes itself & i have to load movie again & look for the place i stoped watching the video to continue!
Device & program version: Macbook Pro, bought in july, Safari Version 5.1 (6534.50), No extensions or apps installed, & pls dont' say that it happens on particular pages, i visited the same ones yesterday & everything was ok, since today it's working all weird, and happens within all pages. But in the same time no system - once it reloads the page, other time im switching between the same very tabs it doesn't.
This is unacceptable & completely useless. Why there are no comments from Apple or Safari team, as if the problem doesnt exist? Not speaking of the problem solving process or tips.
Please, if someone knows how to stop this nightmare - tell me!!
Apple-team, I would love to hear your comments & in fact receive some help and get this problem fixed.. :\
(P.S. - person with the same problem posted a message year before, no effective reply.. - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2356901?start=0&tstart=0 )

How to stop GPS auto update on C6

hi everybody, I have nokia C6. My problem is that its downloading all the time some GPS updates which cost me a lot MB to pay. every day is downloading 12 till 20 hours non stop. My battery is dieing every day becouse of this. Please help, how to stop this download
thanks

GPS is for positioning (use of navigational maps..) whereas GPRS is using Internet..
If you rae having problem of GPRS then it must be connected to some applications on the phone which are running in the background... Some applications are set to update at regular intervals(e.g. some Weather widgets..).. some syncs at regular intervals(e.g.e-mail / Mail for Exchange..) Even if you are using GPS there are various methods and ways like using the A-GPS or Network for initial positioning.. using the maps in ONLINE mode.. ets...
So best thing is to go to each of this and set Updates/ Sync to 'Manual' also under 'Destnations' settings for each access point you may define 'After confirmation'..so that everytime it will as if you want to connect to internet.. and for maps.. use OFFLINE mode with Integrated GPS method..

Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.
Jay

I looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:

How to stop lion recovery disk assistant from downloading?

Since I planned to upgrade the stock disk on my macbook pro I created a USB stick backup of the Lion OS using Lion recovery disk assistant. It built a bootable copy of my Lion OS. I replaced the drive, booted from the USB stick Lion, formatted the new drive with disk utility with one OSX partition, and bunch of Linux partitions for the planned dual/triple/etc. boot. I then used the recovery disk menu to reinstall OSX on the new disk. It took off and started the download just like while booting with R key or from the recovery partition AGAIN!. This is a 2 hour proposition and is totally ridiculous. I need to be able to reinstall without downloading Lion every time. Any ideas on how to stop this new Apple invention from doing this download?

If you read the Disk Recovery Assistant documentation all that it does is put a copy of the Recovery HD onto the flash drive. There is no OS on it to reinstall, hence the reason for the Internet download.
If you wish to have a true bootable installer flash drive for your system, then here's what is involved. Start by going to this link: Downloading Hardware Specific Lion Installers. Follow the instructions very, very carefully because this can be a bit tricky.
Once you have the installer application:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

How to stop iTunes creating a new library on my hard drive when it can't find the one I have created and told it to use on an external drive?

I have quite alot of music etc so to save hard drive space I have created my iTunes library on an external hard drive. If I ever accidentaly open iTunes when that external hard drive isn't attached iTunes makes a whole new library from scratch on my computers hard drive. I find this highly frustrating as I often open Itunes to find no music as it have changed librarys and I have to re-load my actual library: very frustraiting and time consuming.
I would like to know if it is possible to lock iTunes some how to stop it from changing folders when it can'f find the library, or atleast give me a warning that it can't find the library before creating a whole new one????

Tunes works through a database file which has a list of your tracks. When you click on a track it looks up in the database which file it needs to play, then plays the file. If something breaks this link then you get ! The two main ways to get ! are to move a file from where iTunes expects it to be, or to delete it altogether. I don't know which has happened in your case. You can try using Spotlight to find a file for the one referred to in a broken link. If the files have been moved then they need to be moved back. If they were deleted completely you will have to restore them from a backup or download them again from the iTunes Store and rebuild your library.
