HT3577 How can I turn off the text editing feature on an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.x - when my Mom taps the phone, it always brings up copy. It does not do this for me so I am assuming it is the way her disability forces her fingers to hit the screen.
My Mom has tremors and when she uses her iPhone and taps to select, the way she hits the keyboard causes the copy selection to appear. It is not an issue with her phone because it does not do this for me. I would like to shut off the double tap feature. I have already tried Settings/General/Accessibility/Home speed typing = slowest.
The editing menu doesn't come up when you double tap. It comes up when you press and hold. It can't be turned off.

How can I turn off Calendar text reminder
I keep receiving Calendar "text" reminders, in addition to Notification Reminders. It's ANNOYING because I already choose which events I want a notification for, within the New Event "form" each-time I create a new event. I can choose to be alerted 5min, 1hr, 2days before the Event ...or I can choose "none"....... However, even if I choose "none" I keep getting incoming text reminders to my text messages, in addition to a screen Notification (which I prefer). No matter what, I will get a text reminder. I put on my calendar; Tuesday 28th/4pm/Portland trip/no alerts... just so I know not to schedule anything else that day, not because I need a remindeder. So it obeys me and doest send the Notification pop-up, but while I'm driving to Portland an incoming text comes in at 4pm to remind me OF WHAT I'M ALREADY DOING. How can I make these dual reminders stop? I will gladly choose one or the other....either a Text or a Screen Notification. Any help you can offer would be great. Thank you!
Are you perhaps using Google Calendar as your main calendar service? There is an option in Google Calendar to have text alerts sent to your phone for events. Log into Google Calendar on your computer and disable that feature.
If you're using a different calendar service, see if they have a similar set up. -

How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.
Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other. -
How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on 3GS
How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?
Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification. -
Last week I've install Mac OS X Mountain Lion and then after the installation finish my IMAC start up in verbose mode. How can I turn off this mode and start my IMAC normally. I've try to key in the code "sudo nvram boot-args=" in terminal also.
Thank you for all of your answer.I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
Thanks!cterra wrote:

Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button -

That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

How can i turn off the spam filter?
How can i turn off the spam filter for HP eprintcenter?
zanganah;
I hope you are doing well and sorry to learn that you are having this issue;
Most of the time when you have issues receiving emails is that the email have something like FWD subject line. Eliminate that.
Does the email have a title? Make sure it does.
ePrint emails can only have one email address in the “To:” field. To send an email to your printer and to additional email addresses of friends and family at the same time, put your printer's email address in the “To:” field, and put your friends/family email addresses in the “BCC” (blind carbon copy) field.
Also this are some of the limitations of the service to keep in mind;
The attachment size or number of attachments exceeded the allowed limit.
There is a 5 MB limit to the email and a 5MB limit to each attachment. HP ePrint supports a maximum of 10 attachments to a single email. Emails that exceed these limits will not print.
Is the attached file supported by ePrint? Supported attachments include:
Microsoft Word
Microsoft PowerPoint
Microsoft Excel*
Text files (.txt)
PDF
HTML
Images (bmp, jpg, png, gif, tiff)
* HP strongly recommends that you preview documents in Excel before printing.
Hope this helps:

How can I turn off the autocomplete/autofill function in Mail?
How can I turn off the autocomplete / autofill function in Mail (Mail 7.2)? I know how to remove email addresses from the 'Previous recipient' list, but I simply want to deactivate the autocomplete function for email addresses entirely.
You used to be able to do this via Mail - Preferences - Composing, but I upgraded to Mavericks today, and the option to deactivate the autocomplete funtion for email addresses is no longer there.
Does anyone know where to find it?
Thanks in advance for your feedback,

Somehow Escape button started bringing me an autocomplete list in Keynote which is monstrously inconvenient.
This is rather surprising.
What you are describing is a feature called "word completion", provided by the Cocoa text engine, and hence used by apps which rely on it, including iWork, TextEdit, and others. When you are typing, or the insertion point is in a suitable position, pressing ⎋, or ⌥⎋, or F5 brings up the word completion list. Of course, it only works if there are suitable words in the list. For instance, if you type "Schad", intending to write "Schadenfreude", you can press ⎋ as much as you wish and nothing will come up. But type "Zeit" and then ⎋, and you'll get "Zeitgeist" sure enough.
What is surprising is that you describe it as if you had just came across it, whereas it has been available for years (although I believe that originally it was activated only by ⌥⎋). iWork (including Keynote) is a little different, because, in addition to ⎋, ⌥⎋, and F5, word completion is also activated by ⌘⎋.
I don't know how to turn off this feature, if indeed it can be turned off.
Usually Escape would make me exit the text box
Is there any chance you mis-remember? The Keynote shortcut for exiting text editing and selecting the text box is ⌘↩ (command-return). -
Can't turn off twitter text notifications. I tried settings, notifications, but the notification center doesn't have the twitter option. I also tried settings, sounds, tweet, none- for alert tones. This is still not turning it off. Twitter people said it's not their problem. Is anyone having this problem?
It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?
