How to stop Textedit versioning

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to stop Textedit to save my file in versions and lock it up now and then.
I usually access some text files over the network and this is causing some irritating problems for me.
I have Time machine also OFF. Cant really fine any other setting so i hope its possible.

First thanks for the replies.
I backup using my Drobo server where i copy everything of importance. The files are also shared between several computers both pc and mac.
So thats why i have this problem since i open a text file over the network and the net goes up and down when i go to sleep. This causes problem with the autosave.
Even when i close the textfile before going to sleep next time i open text edit sometimes it open my text file so i'm always nervous my changes from other computer get lost.
I can see the benefit of autosave feature on a local file but when working online from several computers its just in the way
@Carolyn: thanks for the link, it didnt help me with the problem but i understand the feature a bit better. Actually i shut down the lock feature as it causes problem i think. I mean what if the document is locked and i edit it from my pc. Then i go to mac and want to start editing it. I pretty much never know how these things will work. I wish Apple didnt decide how i want to use everything in such detail. Its good they innovate new features but i should be able to turn it on and off.
Hope its a bit more clear why i want to be able to turn this feature off now. So far i dont see a way but maybe there is a secret command throught shell?

How stopping a version and start a new one from the previous

Hi,
May be someone could help me to erase my basics questions on Robosource control.
We have to manage several versions of our product documentation and It is not clear how it is managed by robosource control. The documentation tells what can do RBSC (and it seems to be what we need) but they do not explain how to do it (prerequisites, ordered steps, etc), and I do not really succeeded. May be I missed the basics.
All our projects are added to Robosource control 3 from RoboHelp7 Html from a local directory.
In the database, we inserted them in a directory corresponding to a version V01.r01.
I would like to stop this version and start a new one V01.02 with the projects which are V01.01. What is the best way to do this:
Do I just label the directory V01.01 and "Pin" it ? In that way how can I recover all the projects and files that were labelled and pinned for version V01.01, if I need them later ?
Copy and rename directory V01.01 into V01.02 to continue the file modifications without modifiying the same project in V01.01?
My questions are quite similar to Kristen's questions.
Please can anyone help ! Thanks !

Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Keep getting a prompt to install java even when not surfing the net. I have java installed and the control panel says it is right version. Want to know how to stop prompts. This started after I installed Yosemite.

Since installing Yosemite I keep getting a prompt to install Java even when I am not surfing the net. Went system preferences and I have recommended version installed. I want to know how to stop the prompts. I do not have this problem on my iMac.

Most likely, you have either the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. Both depend on the Java runtime distributed by Apple. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.

How to stop annoying preview saving during annotation?, How to stop annoying preview saving during annotation?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, any time I open a big PDF ( for example 600 pages) with Preview, when I make an annotation as highlighting, I starts saving and this annoying process lasts for 45-50 seconds. Anyone knows how to stop Preview from saving during reading and puts it for when closing the application?

Open Terminal and enter this command which will turn off Autosave & Versions for TextEdit Preview.
defaults write -app 'Preview' ApplePersistence -bool no
Now reboot.
To turn off autosave and versions globally...
defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

How to stop Acrobat trying to open PDFs in a Safari window?

I have CS3 and when I try to look at a page with a PDF in Safari, it want to start to load I assume a acrobat reader in the safari window.
Before I had CS3 it of course it just used preview in the Safari window.
I have tried to search for a PDF plug in Safari, and I cant find one on the drive. But if you check plugins in Safari from the help menu it does say using Acrobat.
What do I need to remove to stop it?

Hi
If it's greyed out, either the plug-in is missing, the preference file is possibly corrupt, or this is another example of how Adobe expresses its version of "creativity" on the Mac platform.
Tongue-in-cheek aside, I don't have CS3, so I can only speculate here. Other than the possible missing plug-in, or preference file corruption, I wonder if installing Adobe Reader frees up the greyed area via Reader's preference file?

How to stop while loop

I can't figure out how to stop a while loop in my labview program.
When the user presses the Run arrow in the toolbar I want my program to begin reading the serial port for GPS messages. These messages should be displayed on the front panel. Currently I have this read/display in a while loop. The program is also waiting for an extrenal trigger. When that trigger arrives, I want to grab the current string from the serial port and save it and continue reading and displaying the serial/gps string. This trigger starts the other parts of the program- signal generation, recording, and saving data which need to run concurrently with the serial/gps reading/displaying. Once the AO and AI have finished and the data have been written to disk, I want the program to stop. The serial/gps messages should be updating this whole time. Only when the data are written to disk should the whole program end. This whole sequence of events should only be done once when the user preses the Run arrow.
So far I'm unable to pluck the serial string when the trigger comes in if I'm watching the serial port all the time. The program also doesn't stop when it finishes writing to disk because the read serial while loop is still running. I don't want to use a front panel stop button. The program should stop itself when the data havebeen written.
I'm really stumped on this one but I'm new to LabVIEW so I'm sure there's an easy solution to this.
Thanks for any and all help.

Dennis and altenbach- Thank you both for your patience.
I was trying to do just what Dennis suggested-"As I said, setting a local variable is one way." even before posting to this forum, but I couldn't get my local variables to reflect changes made elsewhere in the program and I wasn't able to wire from them because they were writes. The critical part I was missing was how to change a local variable from a write to a read. It was staring me in the face the whole time- just right click. When I finally found it, my problems were solved.
altenbach- thank's for putting the figures together. I do understand the logic and wiring there, but I was really trying to avoid stop buttons. The program should be smart enough to figure out when to stop. And using local variables turns out to be one way of solving this. I still have some clean up to do, but I've included my current working version just so you can see how I implimented your suggestions. There's still a lot of clean up to be done, but I'm delighted to be able to watch the serial/gps messages until I'm done reading in data. At first I had this stop variable set in the final sequence frame. That didn't work because I wasn't getting to the final frame because the loop wasn't finishing. Once I placed the stop variable in the same frame as the while loop it began stopping when it should.
If you have other comments/critiques about the wiring diagram I'm earger to hear them. I'm considering the structure finished, however. It still needs cleaning up and commenting, but I'm satisfied with the functionality.
Thanks,
Peter

How to stop receiving "AdobePremiereElements.exe - No Disk" error message at start-up

I upgraded from Premiere Elements 9 to 13 at Adobe. Install went without error, but each time I call up the program a window pops up entitled "AdobePremiereElements.exe - No Disk" with the following text within the window: "There is no disk in the device. Please insert a disk into drive \Drive\Harddisk1\DR1." I can eventually get this window to remove after repeated attempts, and the program seems to be running fine. Would appreciate knowing how to stop such nonsense and remove the annoyance. Thanks.

jimp
Thanks for the good news that the OldFilm.AEX file is gone and no more No Disc error message.
To update 13 to 13.1, you need to use an opened project's Help Menu/Updates.
Have you done that, and the message was that you were up to date already?
To check what version you have
Premiere Elements Editor. Help Menu/About Adobe Premiere Elements. The screen that then displays should show 13.1 if updated from 13 to 13.1.
That Help Menu/Updates location should let you take are of the Elements Organizer updating from 13 to 13.1.
Nonetheless, you can check on Elements Organizer Help Menu/Adobe Elements Organizer to assure that the screen that displays shows 13.1 instead of 13.
Any questions, please let me know.
Best wishes

How to stop Time Machine from backing up Temp Files?

Hi folks!
I am trying to find out how to stop Time Machine from constantly backing up 'useless' temporary files accumulated from web browsing? Although I don't change or add large files to my HD, Time Machine backs up hundreds of MBs every hour. Those file amounts make sense when I consider that I browse a lot to YouTube, SoundCloud, etc to watch videos or listen to music - I just don't want them to be backed up.
Under Time Machine Options I already excluded the following items from backups:
~/Library/Caches
/Library/Caches
~/Downloads
But even though I did this weeks ago, Time Machine stills finds large files to be backed up every hour and my only guess is that I am still missing a location where either Safari or Firefox - the two web browsers I use - store temporary files.
Can you help?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Are you sure you need that? There are no viruses that run on OSX. None. Zip. Zero.
If you're running Windoze on your Mac, that's the same as running it on a PC, so it needs all the same anti-everything stuff you'd use on a PC.
There is some "malware," such as Trojans, for Macs, though. But (unlike viruses that can get onto your system without your knowledge), you must approve their installation (via your Admin password) and/or operation (via the "This application was downloaded from the internet ..." prompt).
Appropriately enough, some of these Trojans are included in pirated versions of Apple software, such as iWork!
For the gory details, see Thomas Reed's [Mac Virus Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus].
Thanks a lot again!
You're quite welcome, and thanks for posting back.

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 )

Are you printing from Word? Generally Word has an option to print document properties, which would include the date created, the edit date, number of words and some other information. In Word 2003 this would be found in Tools, Options, Print, Include with Document and uncheck the "Document Properties" box. In Word 2010 it would be found in File, Options, Display, Printing Options, Print document properties.

How to stop the restructuring (ran manually) which is running in the backg

How to stop the restructuring (ran manually) which is running in the background.
Tried stop the data base from EAS , but got error message saying that it is not acceptiong any commands.

The only way I know to do it is to stop the application through task manager(Windows) or Kill(Unix). First you have to figure out what PID it is, then kill it. It does come with risk of corrupting the application depending on what step it is in. If you go this route, you should clean up the new created temporary files (Otn, Esn, etc) Some newer versions don't need this last step and will clean up when the application restarts, but I'd rather make sure things look good myself.

How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

I am constantly finding that Calendar Version 8.0 thinks it knows what I want to type but it incorrectly takes numbers and days and times out of my input and changes my appointments. I hate this new supposedly "smart" feature. Even when I edit my event correctly a second or third time it rewrites my input incorrectly again. I have to use my iPhone to override the annoying editing on my mac. I am ready to find a new calendar program unless Apple allows users to input what they want without their information being incorrectly edited.

To Crackers,
You have to let the container deal with the message - expire/cancel the message after a certain number of tries. This is easy to manage in the WLS console. Which version of Weblogic has this option? 7.0 or 8.1 ?
I didnt see this option in Weblogic 7.0!!!!!!
Corect me if I am wrong.
