How to stop the macbook from going to sleep
How do you stop my macbook from going to sleep when you close the screen? Like when you want to just move it around but do not want it to sign off or anything. Thanks guys
Well I just spent the past hour restoring my system after installing ismonia. I shut the lid and then reopened it. All was great, then the laptop wouldn't shut down. I tried to fix the disk with Disk Utility but it shut down on its own. It wouldn't startup.
If you try it make sure you have a recent backup.

I'm trying very unsuccessfully to reinstall the system from scratch, so that I have a clean computer. I'm starting with 10.5 and then going to upgrade in increments from that to the last operating system the computer will run, which is 10.6.8.
Firstly I've wiped the hard disk in Disk Tools and then started it up from the master disk of 10.5, and its telling me it will take 64 hours and some minutes to install, so I can't keep moving the mouse to stop it going to sleep for that long.
I know it sounds as though something is wrong, but I have run both Disk Tools and Tech Tool Pro through it and both say there's nothing wrong with either the computer or the hard disk, and it was running fine (if slow - but that's its age!) prior to this clean install.
This computer is the first of the intel Macbooks and is a single core intel processor with 1gb of Ram.
What I need to do is to stop it going to sleep during the install, as every time it does it just halts the install and over night, for instance, I'm no further forward than I was the night before, even though I left it going all night.
All I'm trying to do is get it to 10.6.8 so that I can run Bootcamp on it and turn it into a PC to do my accounts (and no, the software we use only runs on PC, but Paralles, VMWare Fusion etc still make it painfully slow to use, and It's bad enough having to do accounts without having to wait for it to do every move...)
I can't go straight to 10.6 as the only copies we have of this are "drag and drop" upgrades that Apple supplied with 3 of our other Macs. Also the computer won't read dual layer DVDs (too old) so I can't load the full copy we have made of the OS.It's simply called Photos and there is no options/setting thing on it. I have windows 8, it's a stand alone photo library viewer.

How do I stop my macbook from going into sleep mode while watching netflix
Hi can somebody give me a hand?
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver
Move the sliders for as long as needed to watch the movie.
Deselect: Put hard disks to sleep when possible
After watching the movie, in System Preferences > Energy Saver, rremember to click: Restore Defaults to save wear and tear on the hard drive. -
How can I stop the program from going through all of the text previously put in. It is making the process very slow.
while True:
and just indent everything else under it
Ends when you press ^C.
if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
if not vpc:
break
which will break out of the while loop and end your program.

How to stop the Dialog from being dragged
I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
while a dialog is showing.
When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
... code here ...
As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame. -

How to stop the users from changing the Decimal in SAP
How to stop the users from changing User Profile
Hai,
It is not possible to restrict SU3 to display, because it has only S_TCODE has the authorization object.
If you really want to restrict users from changing their profile you have to remove the SU3 access and give SU1 or SU2 which gives access only to Personnel details and Parameters.
Hope this helps.

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.

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications
How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications
It's not really something to snap a screen shot of. I believe it would need to be a video clip. For instance, when I am working on multiple images in Photoshop, I often need many images open at the same time, but I only have one image viewable and active. The hero image is active on screen while I hide the other images in the dock by hitting the yellow - button on the images. Then I "Hide" Photoshop to do something in the Finder. When I go back to Photoshop, every image that is hidden in the dock will pop open again in the active window, not just the image I was currently working on. I want these images to stay in the dock until I need them, no matter how many times I Hide the Show Photoshop.

Is there a way to stop the brightness from going up when alarm goes off?
I have an iPhone 5s running iOS 7.0.6. I plug it in at night next to my bed and use it as an alarm clock. I am running the NiceClock app because it has a great black background with slim red clock numbers (doesn't throw a lot of glare). I am using the built-in Clock app that comes with the current iOS as the alarm (NiceClock, while great for a simple bedside clock with no glare, does not come with an alarm). I set my iPhone's brightness on the lowest possible setting to keep the backlight glare down. It's great. Low glare, and I can still see the time if I wake up in the middle of the night without having to fumble with the iPhone. My problem is when the alarm goes off the brightness level jumps up to maximum. Is there a way to prevent the brightness level of the iPhone from changing when the alarm goes off?
Yes the calendar is gone. I guess it is the notification center I am referring to that comes down when I accidently swipe the top of the screen. Is there a way to stop of notification center from coming down if you swipe the screen? I figured out how to stop the control center from coming up if you swipe the bottom on the screen. Now I just need to figure out how to stop the top of the screen from doing the same thing

Anyone know how to stop the slideshow from looping?
Does anyone know which file to edit in order to stop the slideshow from looping? Where the code would be or, what code to add.
I am not aware of a setting from within iweb itself.
I assumed it was the slideshow.js file but I didn't find anything in there.
Such as a loop "true"
HELPThat worked great.
I assume what we are doing is copying and editing the
.mac slideshow file,
and then pointing to it's location in the folder. How
Yes, that's exactly it.
did you know what the code would be? I guess you must
be very Java savy, because it definetly wasn't an
obvious one.
It took me two days to reverse engineered dot mac slideshow
Is there a way to get the slideshow window to close
after it's finished? What I get is a freeze frame on
the last photo of the show.
I know you gonna ask that yes, change the added line in slideshow.js to this:
if (count == ((imgs.length) - 1)) { this.pause(); setTimeout("window.close()", 5000); }; // close window after 5 sec, change 5000 to whatever you like.
