How to turn off all sharing

Im pritty new to mac and would like to know if there is a way to turn off the sharing. When there is someone logged in to the desktop computer in the finder on my mac I am able to see it under the shared folder. Is this itunes or is it trying to share files. I am in college and use there secure network but am afraid that with this on someone would be able to comporminse my mac so I would just like to turn it off if possible.

Go into System Preferences > Sharing. Click on the lock icon in the bottom left to make changes. Then select, from the left menu, what you want or don't want to share.

What happens if you select both the grunge and the image and in the Transparency flyout tick Make Opacity Mask? You may try different ticking/unticking and colours.

How to turn off all "bells" in mavericks

Hi..
I want mavericks to act like snow leopard. I have 7 macs in my house and my favorite one is my studio computer running snow leopard.
Last night i had to restart my MBP to get it to connect to the network...
Since snow leopard apple has added nothing but pure bloat to the OS and I want to get rid of all of it.
I don't want my computer connecting to facebook with me doing it, I don't wnat it checking my twitter, I don't want it updating my calendar for me (which it feels it needs to do every 60 seconds). I don't want my computer doing all the background crap that it does. I just want it to do the things I tell it to do.
Does anyone know of any tutuorials out there to remove all of the "automated" bells and whistles that came after SL?
Thanks so much!!

Reinstall the backup of your Snow Leopard System you made before you installed Mavericks.Obviously Mavericks does not meet your requirements, but you cannot just hack away at an OSX because it will become less and less stable. You can try turning off all notifications and whatever else you refer to as cr*p, but you just can't trash anything in the OSX because it doesn't suit you. You chose to download and install it, you can also choose to go back to Snow Leopard with your backup.
14. How do I restore my entire system?

How to turn off all colour management?

I need to have Photoshop show me an image without any colour management at all.
However, no matter what settings I try the image in Photoshop always looks different to the same image opened in a program that is not ICC complient.
This is causing me serious problems.
What do I need to do to turn off all ICC management?

The quickest way is to choose View - Proof Setup in Photoshop and just select Monitor RGB. When View - Proof Colors is selected, you will see unaltered data, as Photoshop is being told that the image should be viewed as though its profile is the same as the monitor's profile.
However, it is not difficult to get Photoshop to send unaltered values from an sRGB document to your display without using Proof viewing. My system is set up this way as I have my video card tables and monitors set up to accurately show sRGB.
Here's how:
1. Start the Windows 7 control panel Color Management function, Devices tab, and uncheck [ ] Use my settings for this device.
2. In the Advanced tab, ensure that Windows Color System Defaults is System default (sRGB IEC61966-2.1).
Voila, Photoshop considers the monitor as having the sRGB profile, and you'll see the exact same color values from an sRGB image as from a non-color-managed application.
Photoshop will also display colors from documents with other profiles correctly, as they are transformed to sRGB for display.
FYI, I have the ATI Catalyst display manager load my video card color settings at startup.
Hope this helps.

How to turn off all cellular service (not just data) without airplane mode?

Hi,
I work in a lab where cell service is minimal. In iOS8, can we turn off all cellular service (not just cellular data) without using airplane mode? It would also be helpful to be able to keep GPS on with all cell service turned off when hiking.
Thanks,
Matt

Unfortunately, no. To turn off cellular service, requires the device to be put into Airplane Mode, which also turns off the GPS receiver.

How to turn off all apps?

Is there a way to turn off all Apps on original iPad?

Double tap the Home button and a list of apps should come up on the bottom of the screen. Hold down one of the icons for a few seconds and a minus button should appear in the top left hand corner of the apps. You can press that and the apps should turn off. All of this needs to be done on the home screen, not the lock screen.

How can I turn off all sharing on my Macbook

I am a new Mac user and although I love it I am unfamiliar with the sharing options and how they work. I haven't gotten a clear answer yet but my question is how can I ensure that I am not sharing any of my files. I can see other users who are sharing. Will other users still be able to see me if I am not sharing and how do I turn it off. Thank You.

Go to System Preferences -> Sharing. If everything there is turned off, nobody can access any of your files remotely.
For that matter, even if you have stuff turned on, if it's all configured correctly, someone would need to know a password to access anything.

IPhone iOS5 - How to turn off ALL notifcations overnight, but leave phone ON?

Hey all:
I really like the new notification center and all, but I've found a small issue with how I do things..... Since my phone is my alarm, I sleep with it right by my head and I don't want buzzes from Facebook or emails or such. However, I don't want to go to airplane mode so that someone could still call me if there's an emergency.
I used to do this with iOS4:
1. > Settings > Notifications > OFF and
2. > Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Turn Push to OFF, and Fetch to Manual
With iOS5, I can still do # 2, but #1 really isn't there anymore. As I understand it, I'd have to go to the screen for a whole mess of individual apps to turn off their notifications.
Does anyone else have a better way to do this? Basically, I want the PHONE on and everything else OFF.
Thanks!!!!!

Ok,
There is still no good answer so far,
i dont want to turn off data roaming, because i am still going to use it, but i just need the phone not to keep pulling data, unless i specify that by opening an app.
so in iOS4, data roaming on, notification off, and mail on manual, this allowed me to simply click on whatsapp or mail or twitter, and it would pull the data, but as soon as i am out of the app, the data usage is off.
and this whole in/out of notification center, doesnt really say wheather it is only in the pull down menue, or simply there is no data usage, and i actually tried, and i still recieved notifications while the app was in NOT in notification center,
as i said,
dear apple, PLEASE FIX !

How to turn off all lock screen notifications?

I give up. How do I turn off the notification messages I get at the locked screen from my apps? I've tried everything. I went into settings and turned off the notifications there and I went into the apps settings and turned it off there. Still messaging me. Very annoying. What do I do? The specific apps I'm getting notifications from are Temple Run 2 and Asphalt 8 and a couple others I can't remember.

I'm sorry, is this a game that is connected to Game Center? I don't use Game Center, as a matter of fact don't even play games on my phone at all, so I couldn't explain this. Is this the only notification that you have received since we talked last? If so, is this a game you use on a regular basis? Can you try to delete the game from the phone to see if it will stop then? Have you tried to get in touch with the game developer and see if they can provide any background as to why you cannot stop notifications?

Nokia Lumia 610 How to turn off all data roaming ...

I've read in other forums that it's not enough to turn off data roaming. Apparently apps that use the internet will turn roaming back on in Windows phones. Can anyone offer a complete and definitive list of instructions for turning roaming off abroad? I would prefer to be able to access wifi hotspots so don't want to simply turn on airplane mode. Thanks.

Could you let us know which forum and what apps?

How to turn off home sharing on iphone and put all of my music in one place?

I have the iphone 4 with ios7. I have Rihanna's Unapologetic cd that I ripped to itunes a while ago. Today I synced my entire music library to my iphone. The only way I can find the album by Rihanna is if I go to the home sharing on my iphone and choose my computer library! I'm getting really frustrated because I don't understand why I can't just have all my music in the music library and nowhere else? Also, all of my music appears to be on the cloud which doesn't make sense to me. Especially because I synced it all from my computer so why do I have to download to my phone again? Basically itunes is doing too much. Oh, and every time I sync my music itunes always deletes my playlists from my phone.

Consolidate your iTunes Library
As for the other part of the question, iTunes syncs with Apple devices.
Simply copy the media desired from the computer to the microSD card. This has nothing to do with iTunes.

How to turn off home sharing

Every time I try to update a app it don't let me because I need to sign in to another person account

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Home sharing is nothing to do with account authorisation.
As for downloading apps, you should only download apps from your account, logging into someone elses account to download their apps will result with you being locked out of using your account in iTunes for 90 days.
