  • Can you turn off the automatic guide grids in Aperture books?

    Can you turn off the automatic guide grids in Aperture books?

    Yes you can do this - either the way you're already doing it by editing the published content or by changing the source code in the template itself.
    I won't get into the details here cuz I have all this documented here:
    http://web.mac.com/sboben/iWeb/11Mystics/
    See the iWeb Templates page. In short, what you have to do is show package contents for the iWeb app, open the Resources folder, open the .lproj folder for YOUR language, likely english, open the Templates folder and then one by one, for each page-type folder you find in there, you have to show package contents for your chosen template, unzip the index.xml.gz files, find the hyperlink settings in the XML, turn off the underline setting, save the file again and rezip it. Then any NEW pages you build will not contain underlined links. It sounds worse than it is.
    If you tell me which template you're using, I'll go look in the file and tell you how to turn the underline code OFF. But you should read my instructions at my site before you even try to do this - I outline some things you should know before even opening up those XML files.

    From your iCloud account, you can go to Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from your devices list which will release it, or you could do a remote erase of the iPhone from iCloud.

  • Cant turn off the ken burns effect

    The ken burns effect (why is that on by default for crissakes?) cannot be tuned off!!!! I have about 10 images in a movie made up of about 100 still images on which the ken burns effect cannot be turned off. I tried unchecking the ken burns check box & hitting the update button, but it immediately turns itself back on!! Tis is with iMovie 3, and as i said, it affects only the first 10 or so images in this particular project.

    I know, sometimes it feels like Ken Burns has a mind of its own. It WILL do what you want, but first you have to figure out its rules.
    The most important is that all of the Ken Burns settings, the KB checkbox, zoom, pan and duration are controlled by the LAST imported clip you made, or a previously-imported clip you clicked on. THAT's what sets the default setting for your next import(s). (A very nice feature, by the way, for it lets you apply the Ken Burns settings of one clip to the next photos you import. You don't have to reconfigure settings each time.)
    That also means that when you uncheck the KB checkbox that won't "stick". When you click on some other clip it may change.
    So when updating an existing clip, the trick is to select the clip, THEN adjust the Ken Burns settings, THEN Update the clip.
    A complicating factor is that previously-imported photos to which special effects or other editing has been applied are no longer considered Ken Burns clips, so clicking on them doesn't have the same result.
    So pay close attention to what you click on, and even closer attention to whether or not there is a clip selected or an image selected in the Photos pane selected. iMovie will select a photo on its own when you haven't selected something.
    It works like you want, but first you have to see that what it does is you want.

    Hi beckiewinter!
    I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:
    iCloud - iPhone User Guide

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • TS3230 Safari Extention "Security 1.0" do not uninstall from the list and is crashing Safari. I cant even open it. I have to turn off the extensions in order to use Safari.

    Safari Extention "Security 1.0" do not uninstall from the list and is crashing Safari. I cant even open it. I have to turn off the extensions in order to use Safari.I delete all extensions from the /Library/Internet Plugins and ~/Library/Safari/Extensions except for this extension
    WebSecurity.plugin          WebSecurity32bit.plugin and WebSecurity.safariextz respectively.
    If I tried to uninstall it it crash my Safari and when it reopens, it is still there.
    The most anoying is this question for every site. Any help?

    Uninstall the whole worthless "WebSense" product.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

    I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
    In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
    After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Cant edit powersetting for laptop to turn off the display after .. when power is plugged in

    I tried to set the setting on a laptop in our domain from "turn off the display after 5 minutes" to "never".
    the button is greyed out.
    I tried the advanced settings, even that won't work. 
    Os on the laptop is windows 8.1 Pro, the laptop is a member in a domain.
    Anyone knows this issue?
    thanks,

    Hi,
    Are you referring to this?
    Please check the policy Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Power Management\Video and Display Settings
    (if deployed by a GPO created by server in a domain, then check Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Power Management\Video and Display Settings)
    in the right pane, find "Turn off the display (Plugged in)", check whether it is configured to a specific data.

    This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
    If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.

  • In a fixed-layout epub is there a way to turn off the faux spine effect for just one pair of pages?

    I'm formatting a graphic novel as a fixed-layout epub.  Because the pages are generated in Manga Studio with an intended print target, it by far makes the most sense to just use a single, large image for each page.  I'm coding the .opf, .xhtml, and .css files by hand, and I more or less understand everything I'm doing.
    Because the pages are often full bleed, I actually want the faux book chrome afforded by having <meta property="ibooks:binding">true</meta>.  The shadow effect in the gutter gives a nice deliniation between the pages without me having to do anything additional with the formatting.
    However... a handful of pages in the book are two-page spreads.  These look good enough with the shadow spine in the middle, but they would obviously look better without it.  What I'd like to do is identify these particular page pairs as two-page spreads and turn the binding chrome off for just that page pair.  I could of course "fake it" by adding a shadow to the pages themselves (except the spreads) and turning off the binding chrome on the entire book, but it'd be a lot easier to be able to do it in software.
    Apple's formatting guide mentioned nothing of the sort, and searching for a while hasn't turned up anything (not even anyone asking the same question so far as I can tell).  I'm guessing this isn't possible, but it never hurts to ask.  Anybody know of a way to do this?

    Just found this... Sorry to waste the post...

  • How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

    How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
    I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
    If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to  turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

    As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
    You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
    you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.
    more path shortcuts:
