    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.

  • I cant turn on the built in camera on my imac

    I cant turn on the built in camera on my imac

    Or one of the places that can make use of it as well such as System Preferences > Users and Groups > your account > pic (It will edit and offer the camera).
    As this Thread is in Mavericks it will be Messages and not iChat.
    Most Browser with the Flash Player plug-in can make use of sites like MeBeam
    GoogleTalk can be used in a Browser  to other compatible sources with the Google Video Plug-in.

    I would go to the Apple Icon Menu and hold the ALT key down whilst doing so  and select the System Profilier.
    The camera should appear under the USB items.
    If it does not try a PRAM reset.
    Restart the computer holding down the CMD+ALT+P+R keys until you have heard three Start up bongs then let the Start up continue.

  • How to safely turn off the computer while the motion servo is still enabled?

    When we use PCI-7344 and set it for serve closed control, I have found a very serious problem
    in using the control card in this mode.
    As the card is able to control motors only with the computer at power on status, but if we are very
    carelessly to shut down the computer and without the notice to turn off motor driver power first
    we would always get serious sudden moves of the motors, and might cause damages to the system. The same situation also applies to when control the motors under open/closed loop stepper mode.
    How should I do to prevent the above situation?
    (note: in my system, we have hook up relays and timers if we could set DIO bits before shut down
    the computer. But
    still, there are a certain occassions that the operator would still forget to set the DIO bits
    and turn off the computer directly)

    The Inhibit output pin of the motion controller (also called drive enable) is the best way to achieve this. It is basically a signal that most power drives take in as an active low input so that when the powergoes out of the computer, the line goes low and immediately kills the axis so that no servo ouptut command affects the motor.

  • How do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

    how do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

    When you log out or shut down, there will be a checkbox that asks you if you want to reopen windows when you log in. Just uncheck this box. If that isn't it, you may have login items turned on. Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups and then under your name click the Login Itens tab. Make sure nothing is there.
    If you want to stop windows from restoring when you open applications (so for example when you open Safari it doesn't open the 50 tab page you just had open when you quit) go to SystemPreferences>General and then hit the checkbox that says Close windows when quitting an application.

  • How can I stop itunes from starting when I turn on the computer?

    I'm sure I've done it before but I've just reinstalled itunes and it starts evey time I turn on the computer. I have searched all the menus and haven't found an option to turn this off.
    Can anyone help please?

    Go to Start>All Programs and look in Startup. iF iTunes appears there, remove it.
    If iTunes is not in startup, do you have any iTunes widgets? If you don't know what they are you probably don't have any.
    Some iTunes Widgets can be configured to start when you start your computer and that could cause iTunes to appear.

    I’m having an intermittent problem with my midi controllers triggering Mainstage 3.
    I’m using a PreSonus Firebox audio interface.
    It’s been working fine for months, but now when I first turn on the computer in the morning , I’m not able to trigger MainStage from the keyboard.  I tried different midi controllers, different keyboards, different midi cords, and check midi preferences.  The audio interface is working fine and is recogonized, but the midi doesn’twork.  I re-started the computer several times and then finally it miraculously starts working again.
      I’ve been having to this every day now.  Any help or ideas is very much appreciated.

    I Had the same problem with a FireStudio. Try unplugging the FireWire plug and the power plug. Wait for a few seconds, then plug both back in. The light on my FireStudio was flashing blue/red which means "not connecting." I did what I just described, and everything works again. Hope it works for you.

  • I tried to eject a cd, didn't work so I turned off the computer and now it keeps getting stuck at the gray screen. How do I fix it?

    Here are a few more details. I put in a game cd for a windows computer, once I opened the folder on the desktop I noticed the install application was .exe so I tried to eject the cd but no matter what I tried on the computer it wouldn't come out. I will say though that I didn't try the manual cd eject cause I didn't have anything small to hit the button in the cd drive with. It was getting late so we decided to just turn off the computer and leave it for the next day. I can't remember if we turned the computer off with apple shut down or by holding down the power button but we walked away pretty quickly before it was fully shut down. The next day the computer won't turn on. When I walked into the room I was the computer stuck with a grey background with the apple logo showing and the circular thing under it frozen. Since no one was in the room I held down the power button and turned the computer off. We tried to start the computer again later but again it keeps getting stuck at the same spot. Now when we hold the power button down to turn it off I'm not sure if it's really turning off all the way. The screen goes dark but it sounds like the fan is still going. I tried disconnecting everything but the keyboard and mouse but when I started it up again it got stuck on the grey screen with just the apple logo. I'd really apprechiate help on this cause I live in Germany right now and support call centers work so much worse when you don't speak the language well... Thanks for any help you can give!

    Restart your computer while holding down left mouse key. That will eject the CD and your Mac will start as normal.

  • In windows 7, how to make firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer

    In Windows 7, how to make Firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer. Note, I am asking how to do this with Windows 7, not xp, not vista.

    You need to place a shortcut to open Firefox in the Start > Programs > Startup folder.<br />
    That is basically the same in all Windows versions.

  • Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

    Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

    Well then maybe you could take a screenshot because the appearance of such a window is news to me.
    Also post your OS X version and what model Mac you have. The more detail, the better. Thanks.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • I have a Macbook Pro that I have just renewed and transferred over my old hard drive (also from a Macbook Pro). Now when I turn on the computer and ITunes opens I get error (-50) and then error 5002 when I try to sign in to ITunes Store - Help!

    My dealer has tried and failed (twice) to correct this and I have tried deleting the two items in the Itunes folder but no luck!

    were you able to get help on this?  I need help on error 5002 as well.  thank you

  • I just down loaded lion and now every time i turn on the computer every single thing i had used in the last session opens up--how do i stop this?

    I just loaded lion on my macbook pro, and everytime i turn on the computer, every thing i did in the last session, like word, instant messanger, sites, pop-up-how do i stop this and just get to my desktop when the computer is first turned on--please help!

    Remember that you can just put your Macbook to sleep by closing the lid. Unless you're not going to use it for a few days this makes more sense than shutting it down. I sleep my MBP overnight and it uses about 3% of battery power. I only shut it down if I install updates.

    I guess it is very simple, still...
    How can I turn on the computer while the back panel is off (removed). I tried to push with my finger on that little strange thing where the normal switch (on/off button) connects, but nothing happens.
    Course, the power cord is plugged on...
    Anyone can help?
