how to stop the gray wheel from spinning after logging out?

Frank ...
Make sure to quit all open applications before logging out.
Your proflie indicates your Mac has v10.7.1 installed.
If that is the case, updating your system software will help as far as functionaly as well as security.
Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
Then restart your Mac.

  • Please could anybody tell me how to stop the rainbow wheel from turning

    i sem to have a start up disk full prob but no other mac as target mode, just PC and an external hard disk thanks it is becomeming alarmingly urgent

    Hello! HERE and HERE are articles on freeing up disk space. If you've burned cd/dvds and only leave the computer on for short periods then it's likely not having time to clear the temp files. You can use a utility to do the maintenance or leave it on 24/7 for a couple of days. Be sure and empty the trash when you delete items and remember pictures and music take up the most space. tom

  • How to stop the tab bar from automatically hiding itself?

    ive only found how to stop the address bar from disappearing and everyone with the tab problem seems to have posted this over a week ago and still hasnt been fixed yet if noone has a fix im out and done with firefox they can suck a fat one
    why add this feature! i can understand the address bar but not the tabs all you have to do to hide it was push the tab button again and its gone was that so fucking hard that you had ruin a perfectly fine browser

    Hello,
    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed.
    Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide tab bar with one tab]", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.
    Thank you and I hope this helps!

  • How to stop the option key from changing tools when trying to subtract from a selection?

    How to stop the option key from changing my tools when I am trying to subtract from a selection?
    I'm running CS3 on Mac OS Leopard, and the automatic tool switching slows me down, but even preferences doesn't show a way to turn this off.
    Thanks for your help.

    With any marquee tool, JUST holding down the option key should not switch tools. You need to explain the problem much more carefully, It's completely impossible to tell from your description whats going wrong.
    automatic tool switching
    The only preference related to this, is to do with the SHIFT KEY - "use Shift key for tool switch".

  • 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 pro

    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.

    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:

  • Can I stop the Officejet 6000 from calibrating after each print job?

    Is there a way to prevent the Officejet 6000 from calibrating after each print job? The process is loud and prolonged. The print quality is fine but it makes too much noise. I have not seen an answer to this in any forum. I hope one of the pros or expert can help.

    This servicing will occur after every print job. There are no methods to stop it or decrease its cycle time.

  • How to stop the AppleTV remote from affecting the desktop screen?

    When someone else is using AppleTV, and scrolling with the remote, the desktop screen often goes dark and goes to the AppleTV menu. Really annoying when someone else is trying to work. Is there a way to unconnect the two? Why does the remote also affect the desktop screen...Sorry to be obtuse, maybe there is a good reason I haven't thought of? How to stop it? Thanks.

    You don't need the IR receiver to be on to sync. Syncing is done through the network (a cabled connection or wireless network)
    You can turn of your Mac's ability to respond to remotes:
    1. Open System Preferences
    2. Click Security under the Personal category
    3. Check Disable remote control infrared receiver
    If you want it to respond to a remote, instead of disable you can pair it with a single remote, and then it will only respond to that specific remote.

  • How to stop the Selection Tool from selecting effects around objects?

    This question is for Illustrator CS5.
    I can't seem to figure out how to fix this problem. I vaguely recall finding a solution in CS4, but cannot recall how it was achieved:
    Scenario: If I have a number of shapes on top of each other, with, for example, a drop shadow on the top shape, whenever I try and select the shape below it (it is peeking out from beneath the top shape, so I click on this 'peeking' section of the shape to try and select it) I cannot - it just selects the top shape as the top shape's drop shadow is 'blocking' the shape below it. Make sense?
    How do I go about about remedying this? I seem to recall being able to tell Illustrator to ignore 'effects' when making selections in CS4, but cannot work out how to do this in CS5. And is there a way to refine the 'sensitivity' or selection radius when clicking to make selections?
    Hopefully someone with the knowledge can please advise?
    Many thanks.

    Never heard of ignore effscts for this.
    Couple way to solve this
    CMD Click on the already selected top element, to select the element underneath.
    You may have used the visiblilty eyeball in the appearance pallette to temporarily hide the drop shadow
    You can use CMD 3 to hide selected top elements, make the change you need, then Opt CMD 3 to unhide
    For #1 to work, don't click too fast, or else your clicks will register as a double click rather than a 2nd clikc (depending on what you have set in you Keyboard preferences).
    I mention #3 cause this is a very useful tool for cleaning up and grouping complex documents, when you want to select multiple elements.

  • How to stop the "Tab Key" from acting as a "SEND" button in gmail

    Since installing the Firefox update today, when I hit the keyboard Tab Key in the course of composing an email on gmail, it sends the (!unfinished!) message. I need to disable this "feature". How?

    In the compose window if you hit tab you are tabbing through the buttons on the compose window. You have to hit space in order to sent the message. Please check to see if there is a feature in your gmail that is added to the default. Or see if there is an add on that has saved this feature. You can try safe mode to eliminate the add on theory [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] and reset Firefox if it is a saved application preference.

  • How to stop logitech mouse wheel from jumping to dashboard

    When working with a logitech (Mxxx) mouse, and I press the wheel, it takes me to the dashboard.    How can I stop it from doing this?   I called Logitech and they told me the issue is not their mouse since it doesn't happen in my windows version I have in the Mac through VMWare.   I need to stop it from doing this because I need the press of the wheel to allow me to pan on programs like AutoCAD and others.  I went out and bought a different logitech wireless mouse (Mxxx) and it does the same.   I have Mac OS 10.8.4. This happens on any program/application I run either in Windows or Mac programs.   I went to the properties of the mouse and it only allows me to change the right/left motion of the mouse. 

    I'm sorry but I don't see any options for Show/Hide Dashboard from your instructions.  I'm attaching a  screen shot of my system preferences.   There is no logitech assigned to anything.   I really need to get rid of this, or I won't be able to use it for work.
