HT2341 Is there a way to disable POST on a mac-mini?

I'm getting a temporary (false) reading on RAM resulting in the one second single blinking light. If I hold the Power button to stop it, and then power up again, POST succeeds. It's almost as though POST didn't give the RAM time to fully energize. Is there a way to bypass this portion of the POST test; or disable POST entirely?

Personally if my memory were failing POST, especially intermitttently, I would never trust the server to do what it was supposed to do. I have replaced mamory in several iterations of Mac mini from the first to the latest. The only challenging part was getting the case off of the early versions. OWC has a complete set of upgrade videos and if I can do it, anyone should be able to. Just take it one step at a time. While you are on the OWC site, they are a reliable source of Apple compatible RAM.

Ways of shutting down a headless Mac Mini unit

Aside from setting for a time for it to shut down automatically and hard shut down, are there other ways of shutting down a headless Mac Mini?

Thanks. I'm planning on connecting my Mac Mini to my router and make it stream media through the network. I just figured out a primitive way of shutting it down without the need of a mouse/keyboard/monitor, because it will be without any of those, using the apple script email shutdown. I know it's kinda dumb but it's worth a try.

HT5019 Is there a way to disable the toolbar from preventing windows being dragged to external monitors configured above it?

My preferred display arrangement is to have 2 external monitors (extended display) above my macbook pro screen. While it is possible to configure this in my display preferences, the toolbar on my desktop prevents me from dragging anything to the external monitors. Is there a way to disable whatever the toolbar is doing to cause this?

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

Is there a way to disable OIM entity adapters while doing batch upload ?

Hi experts,
I have an adpater to generate UserID from a sequence based on user-type for creation of OIM users thru web UI.
I have attached this to Users form in data object manager.
We also have a 3-step batch bulk procedure from CSV file which checks data enterd, generates pword email etc etc and builds CSV file with records to be inserted.
In the 3rd step, scheduled task runs with CSV file as input and creates users in OIM DB.
The problem is the entity adapters are also getting triggerd which generate another UserID for each user created.
This leads to loss in sequence numbers.
Is there any way of disabling this ?? We need to have both in place, but this conflict should not arise ..
Please advice.
Regards,
Chetan

Even if i check the value of that UDF and execute the code to generate UserID based on that value,the function still has to return a value right ??Attach entity adapter at Post Insert.
Create UDF with Default value "CSV".
Add one more parameter in your java class which is responsible for generating userid.
You can directly map UDF with Class Parameter.
if (UDF == CSV){
Don't Generate
else {
Generate with your logic
And if that function is getting called for every user record in the CSV file, then i cant return a dummy value for it as well .You can use update User API of tcUserOperations

HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV - Is there a way to disable the Fingerprint Scanner?

I am using an HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV Windows 8.1.
This model came with a fingerprint scanner in the lower left of the computer. While this seems like a nice feature, it's not one that I am planning on using (I use LastPass for my passwords). I keep accidentally running part of my palm over the scanner which will bring up the screen for HP SimplePass. This can come up at the most inopportune moments, and it can get quite annoying trying to always conciously avoid the fingerprint scanner.
Is there any way to disable the fingerprint scanner?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

@DSWJoshua,
Thanks for posting. You can disable the fingerprint reader. To be thorough, I will provide steps to disable the driver itself, and Biometric support, so you don't have to worry about it later.
To disable the Driver, go to Control Panel, then Device Manager. Expand Biometric devices. Right-click on the Validity sensor and Uninstall.
To turn off biometric support, go to Control Panel, then Biometric devices. Uncheck Allow users to log on to Windows using their fingerprints and then save it.

Is there any way to disable the use of the "Delete" key to delete an email message?

It's very frustrating when I hit the delete key and iCloud automatically erases the selected email message. I receive some HTML formatted emails that include a text box that I can utilize to directly reply to something. If I don't make any mistakes at all, I can utilize this box and post a reply. But if I mess up and need to delete text, instead of deleting text iCloud deletes the email message. Is there any way to disable this?
Thanks for your help.

I don't believe it's possible to disable the delete key, but could be wrong. However, if you delete an email in error, you can restore it by pressing cmd + Z to undo the deletion.

Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?

Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep? Regardless of whether I am using iMessage from my iPhone or iPad, when I open my MBP, I get attacked by Messages notifications for iMessages I've obviously already seen or responded to. Is there a way to change this? Are others having this issue?
Additionally, previous iMessages sent or received from those devices sometimes don't populate into the Messages window on the MBP. I haven't been able to identify when or what causes this; sometimes it just doesn't seem to work (and I verified that the messages sent/received were, in fact, iMessages and not SMS).
Thanks - any help or insight would be appreciated!

First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS you are running. What is the version?
A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.

Is there a way to disable push mail from Yahoo? It's draining my battery

I'm on the prepaid plan and every 10-15 minutes my iphone turns on with a "The last transaction cost $0.00" message. I don't mind the message (although it is a bit annoying) but my problem is that this turns the LCD on for about 2 minutes at a time.
I charged my battery to 100% last night, haven't used it at all today and after just turning it on a few minutes ago I had the "Your battery life is at 10%" message followed by a 5% remaining message a few minutes later.
I've heard that it's the yahoo push mail service thats causing the phone to give the message (since it connects to the internet). My Yahoo account is my main one and I'd hate to have to login to yahoo's site each time to check it (the email functionality was a big selling point for me with the iphone). ATT/Apple don't seem to want to disable this message/"Feature", so I'm guessing I would need to step in and do something on my end.
Is there any way to disable yahoo mail from "pushing" messages to my phone? I can hit the Check Mail button if I have to.

Hi Everyone,
To give an update on the situation: I disabled the Yahoo account and it seems to make a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in battery life - prior to this my battery would drain quite rapidly but since disabling it it's only lost about 15-20% over the past 24 hours (and thats with using the video/music/internet functions for about an hour and a half).. Prior to this it would have been close to drained under the same circumstances.
Also, to confirm, the "Your last transaction cost 0.00" messages only appear when accessing the internet manually now. before they appeared every 10-15 minutes with no interaction from myself at all (while it was sitting idle, while watching videos, while charging, while in my pocket, etc..)
I do have it set to only check Manually but Yahoo would seem to check on it's own even though this setting is checked (I'm guessing it has to do with the Push setting). Aside from draining the battery, it was quite annoying having 30 or so "Your transaction cost $0.00" messages to click through whenever I turned on the phone.
I did have the screen set to shut off after 1 min, but the 'your transaction cost..' messages would first wake the iphone up, the screen would stay bright for about 30 seconds, dim for about 30 seconds, then turn on bright again for 1 minute until it shut off. I'm guessing the screen (being on for about 10-15 minutes per hour due to this) and the fact that yahoo accesses the internet on such a frequent basis are what cut the battery life down.
I really wish I could make Yahoo work more like Gmail and have it manually search for new mail
