HT202663 How do you prevent the computer from dropping the network every time it goes to sleep?

I have a problem with the network being kicked off when any Apple device is stopped and then restarted--even if it is just in sleep mode for a few minutes. My MacBook Pro and iPad do this all the time. My husband has the same problem with his iMac. We have checked the network and the internet service. We have no idea how to fix this. It did not do this until recently, so we think it must have something to do with an update to the software, but it drives us nuts! If anyone has information to fix this, we would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

How do you prevent a user from using the playback bar to skip questions?

Hi,
I am fairly new to Captivate and I had a question regarding the quiz feature in Cap4. I have some users testing the module for me and they are able to skip questions. I have done the following: 1. Made the quiz required 2. removed the review buttons.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Shal

Hello,
You could hide the playbar, since it is not really needed for Question slides: on entering the first question slide you assign the value 0 to the system variable cpCmndShowPlaybar, and when you want to show it again, assign the value 1.

I have checked around the internet, but still can't find any answers. How can I prevent incoming mail from interrupting the music I am listening to on my iPhone? That 1-second muting function drives me insane, especially when a lot of mail is coming in.

Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
8. Reinstall OS X.

How do you prevent Acrobat PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics?

I am using the "Create PDF" button (provided by the Acrobat PDFMaker in Acrobat X) to create a PDF from a Microsoft Word 2010 document.
This works fine, except that vector graphics in the Word document appear in the resulting PDF as raster graphics. (That is, when I zoom in, document text outside the graphics appears smooth, but the graphics are blocky; and text inside the graphics that should be retained as text - it's not converted to curves - is just pixels.)
The original artwork for the vector graphics is in CorelDRAW X6 (sorry, Adobe!).
I have exported the following files from the original vector drawing in CorelDRAW:
- EPS (with TIFF preview)
- Windows metafile (.wmf)
- Enhanced metafile (.emf)
I can insert any of these files into Word okay (Insert > Picture), but the resulting PDF always contains a rasterized (bitmapped) version of the vector graphic ("line art").
From memory, this didn't use to happen in my previous working environment (Acrobat 8 Pro with Word 2003, using artwork exported from CorelDRAW 12).
How do you prevent Acrobat X PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics? Or is Word 2010 (or CorelDRAW X6) somehow to "blame" here?

Transparency Flattening is being invoked.
From the Create PDF button, select Properties, what is your setting for Default Settings? Select High Quality Print

Photoshop CC (Mac) working fine at home. When I move the computer from home the app quits on launch

I have not been able to use Photoshop or Illustrator this weekend because I moved the computer from home where the apps work fine. The apps will quit on launch. Please help.

I should have asked if it is a month by month subscription, or did you commit to a full year, but while that makes a difference to how long you can go without logging in to the internet, you should be able to be offline for a while. 30 days according to the FAQ
http://www.adobe.com/nz/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Have you been able to see if it works again, when connected up back at home?

How do you prevent a clip from moving to the front when clicking on it?

I really don't understand why, but for some reason whenever you click on a clip in Audition CS6's mutitrack editor, it automatically moves in front of all other clips on it's track. This is extremely annoying behavior if you're working on a track with more than two overlapping clips, and there doesn't seem to be any way to undo the move after it happens. Does anyone know of a way to disable this behavior? I've looked all over the place, but haven't been able to find one.

Fair enough, but I still say having a track be brought to the top by selecting it makes no sense. It creates the potential for you to screw up the arangement of a track without realizing it, and I think the fact that Audition doesn't even allow the action to be reversed by the undo button should be considered a bug. I've never used another audio editor that behaved this way, including earlier versions of Audition. Why not just have a send to front button in the right click menu for when you actually do want to send the track to the front? Also, as opposed to only having a single "send to back" button in the right click menu, there should really be submenu that says "send behind" and then has a list of tracks you can send the current track behind if you hover over it.

How do you prevent your phone from locking during voice calls? Mute/unmute features? Are there any? Please help?

Here is the problem - I am often on conference calls. My company, for security reasons requires that I use the lock phone feature. However, I will be on a call, I have muted myself, then the phone locks. I then have to key in my password, and unmute my phone. This prevents me from "jumping in" the conversation appropriately. I either sound like I'm not paying attention or worse, I'm talking over someone else and seem rude. I have tried to search for any of the following features on the iphone 5 c.
Prevent phone from locking during phone calls
Set a button on the phone as mute/unmute
Find a headset that has a mute/unmute feature
I am not the only one at my company struggling with this so I'm thinking others might be too and that there is a solution!
Please help!
Thank you.

Sounds like you need to upgrade to the iPhone 5s
The 5s has Touch ID
You can unlock your phone with your finger instead of typing in a key code
No swiping to unlock either, just touch the home button
You can enrol multiple fingers as well
Here is a video of it in action
http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/videos/#video-touch
Or wait and see what iPhone 6 has to offer
That being said, as desiel vdub posted if the phone is up to your face, the proximity sensor should turn the screen off
And when you lower the phone turn it back on again
Not sure about the phone locking when your on a call doesn't sound right

How do I prevent a user from having the rights to approve a document in approval workflow?

I have a document library with the SharePoint 2010 approval workflow assigned. Documents must be approved before a major version is checked in.
The checkbox "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item." is checked for the workflow.
I want any user to be able to create a document and submit for approval but I only want a subset of people to have permission to approve the documents submitted for approval
How do I only allow certain users be able to be selected to approve a document?

Deleted other posts because pictures did not upload.
I have done exactly as has been indicated, yet User1 can still assign User2 as the approver and User2 can approve the check-in when the "Open this task" button is clicked in the approval
email in Outlook and the approve button is click in the displayed dialog.
Here are the permissions for the SharePoint Group:

How can i stop my computer from losing the wi-fi link

My computer keeps "losing" the wi-fi in my home and making me sign in over and over. It recognizes the network and doesn't require me to give the password for the network, but it asks me for the password required to make network changes. It has done this for a couple of years now. It is inconsistent. About half the time, it works fine, but then it will say your preferred network is not available. Then it will show that network as the only one available and require the password for making network changes again. I have gone into the network utility and "locked" it after making the changes, but it doesn't make any difference.

If it's happening after a period of shutdown and a startup, then try only sleeping the Mac Mini instead of shutting it down. (Besides, sleeping a Mac is easier on the hardware and perfered over shutting down)
For example: my Mac's only get shut down when I go away for more than a couple of days and can sleep for weeks without any problems.
