I have an i mac and if I go to Finder and all my files it has made hundred of photos from the faces of virtually all the photos I have on the computer, how do I stop this happening ?

I have an i mac and under images in All My Files it has made hundreds of face photos from all my pictures in i photos, how can I stop this ?

Hmmm, so it's taking new pics all the time?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for pic problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

When I take my phone off charge in the morning I get an info box on the front which has the sound trumpet icon with a line through it and the word Mute. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone any ideas as to how I can stop this happening?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

This post has already been answered. Why are you plugging your own site with an answer that has already been given? Not to mention that the information you are handing out is incorrect. There is no bug, there is no patch, and no one needs to delete any email addresses. If you take the time to read the posts with the correct answers, you will see that the solution is totally different than the erroneous one you have posted.

I have just had an iPad mini but all my messages are coming through on my iPad and iPhone how can I stop this happening

I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?

To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
You might also look at this option for both devices.
Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting.

HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

HT1296 I get duplicate photos on my iPad. How do I stop this happening or delete the additional copy I don't want? It doesn't happen with all photos. Just when it feels like it

In some folders I get duplicates (or even multiple) copies of the same photograph. How do I stop this happening or when it does how do I delete the extra copies I don't want. Plus from time to time the photos in one folder will appear in another? Do they do this when I'm asleep? Help please

I spent ages renaming and sorting my holiday photos in correct order but when uploaded to print they reverted to the original name and order? How can I stop this happening?

When you "rename" a photo in iPhoto you're adding a Title to the shot, not renaming the file. This si quite standard metadata in photography, but it appars that it's getting lost in the upload/at Snapfish process.
You can use the Titles as filenames if you export using the File -> Export command. It's one of the options in the export dialogue. You can upload the exported items.

HT2500 whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

1. If by flurry of emails you mean they all appear opened as if clicked on.
2. Or do you mean your inbox fills up with a whole lot of 'new' unread emails downloaded from the server, so that if you delete them they return next time you open Mail.
If it is 1. Press (three keys) Option + Command + W
This will close all mail windows including the inbox.
Then press (two keys) Command + 1
to return the inbox.
That should stop any flurry next time you open Mail
If 2., Open Mail Preferences > Accounts (select the account in question if there is more than one), click on Advanced, and where it says remove copy from server after retrieving message, select that choice and click Remove now.

Not sure what your question has to do with the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or Time Capsule.
But, to try to help....
Choose Shut Down on your Mac from the Apple icon
Remove the check mark from the box
Click Shut Down

For any additional questions.....please post in the correct Mac OS X v10.7 Lion support area.

Use your PC to sign-on to your mail service using the browser interface they provide. Delete all the e-mails you don't want on the server. That will prevent the iPad from downloading them.

Msn keeps loading after I sign out of hotmail. How do I stop this happening

Every time I sign out of my Hotmail account MSN loads it's news page or front page. How do I stop this happening. I want to go direct to my home page (google) immediately after I sign out of Hotmail

hello, yes that's the deafult option of the script - you can also change the page that will be shown at logout manually. go to firefox/tools > addons > user scripts & click "options" next to the "no msn..." script, then select "edit this user script". the first time greasemonkey will ask you to specify an editor - the easiest way is to navigate to C:\Windows\ & select notepad.exe. instead of www.hotmail.com you can then specify any custom page and save the file afterwards...

Delete the Gmail SMTP server, then pick the correct SMTP server for the account that you are using.
Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): expand the dropdown next to the label and delete the incorrect server, then pick the correct server and check the box that says "Use Only This Server"
