Icon Preview - Turn off for all system instead of just folders?

I hate the icon preview. I prefer the traditional icon placeholder.
You can go to "show view options," but it only gets rid of it for that folder.
Anyway to get rid of it across the entire system? Thanks.

You also need to click the button at the bottom "Use as Defaults"--I noticed it tends to be greyed out when I first open a Finder window, and I need to make some change to get it to be active again. I just now changed the option in List view to have it stop drawing custom thumbs for all folders in List view, and I had to first uncheck the "Always open..." box at the top for the folder I had open, then I could click the Defaults button at the bottom. Of course, we'll see what happens when I restart....

  • Ken burns, turn off for all pictures

    I have about 500 pictures and I want to turn off ken burns effect.
    I tried selecting all the pictures and then turned off the ken burns effect but this did not work.
    Currently the only way I been able to turn off KB is go picture at a time.
    Is there a better way to do this.
    thanks in advance

    Use Edit > Select All > or manually select a group then any change you make will apply to all of them.

  • Going insane with Auto Text! Turn off for all things?

    Can anyone tell me how to turn the auto text/sure type things off?  It is driving me insane!  I have tried the language options, the sms text options but it still does it and I can't type what I need!  I am fast doing the double tap and would rather do that.
    Thanks,
    Angela

    While you are in a text field or an email field use the bb button ( to the left of the trackball) and scroll down to enable multitap and select it.  This will change the setting for you.  Mine jumps to sure type randomly still, but this seems to be the quickest fix.
    Hope this helps!

    Please see the bold.  If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
    If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

  • All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can i turn iMessage off for just one contact?

    You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

  • Since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

    I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
    The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
    The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
    I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
    There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
    I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
    I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
    Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
    After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
    Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
    Hope this solution will help you too,
    Enjoy!

  • Hp pavilion 15 screen turn off for few second when i turn on or off charger

    Hello,
    I bought new hp pavilion 15. i notice many time when i turn on or off my charger, screen turn off for few second then after few second screen turn on. please help me out its furstating me . 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    >> It is customary and in this case Necessary for you to provide the exact model of Notebook you have a problem-with. [ There are MANY variations of HP Pavilion 15-T Models, for example. ]
    >> You should always be sure you have installed/applied ALL updates for all of your Notebook's hardware devices, and ALL Windows Updates labeled "Important" and ALL "Optional"-section Windows Updates for any hardware device in your Notebook which the Windows Updates service detects (and offers an Update for).
    >> For example, this link:  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6787... has the latest HP Drivers and Patches for a specific variant of the Pavilion 15-T.
    >> AFTER you are certain you have all the latest drivers and patches in-place, you can try the 'old Trick' as follows: Shutdown Windows; when your Notebook has turned-Off completely (after Shutdown completes), THEN remove the AC Adapter connector and remove the BatteryPack.
    >> Hold DOWN the power-button continuously for a full 62 seconds. Then put your BatteryPack back in your Notebook. Do NOT connect your AC Adapter yet. Power-On the Notebook and Logon into Windows. Check the Control Panel\Power Options settings and find out the Charge Level of your BatteryPack. If it is below 25%, then (and only then) plug in your AC Adapter and connect it to your Notebook... and let the BatteryPack charge up "completely" to 98-100% Level. *Note: if your Adapter has a removable AC cord-connector, be certain that connection is 'tight'. <Do NOT stick your fingers or ANY object into any AC Adapter!> If you even think your AC Adapter is faulty, GET A NEW ONE! Damaging a $400-$800 Notebook PC is NOT worth it, versus the cost of a New Adapter.
    >> Use the built-in Help functions of your Notebook to find out how to DISABLE(!) "Hibernation", and eliminate that TROUBLE-CAUSING 'feature' of Windows PCs. When you have done so, always REStart Windows, to be certain the changes are applied. *Many changes and Updates take place 'Fully' only "during" Shutdown and/or "during" Startup of Windows PCs. [While Windows O.S. is "running", most of it's System Files are LOCKED.]
    >> FYI: always let your BatteryPack run down to it's Lower setting BEFORE you plug-in your AC Adapter/Charger. Charging  any rechargeable BatteryPack at  "mid-charge-levels" causes shorter BatteryPack life...

  • Is there a way to turn off the message alert "Cellular data is turned off for _____"?

    I turned off cellular data for about half of my apps so I don't go over my data limit (Thanks AT&T). Now every time I open these apps a message alert pops up saying "Cellular Data is Turned Off for _____. You can turn on cellular data for this app in Settings" And it gives two buttons, "Settings" and "Ok".
    If it were only a few times, I wouldn't care about closing this message. But now that I have to do it like 20-30 times a day, it has become SUPER ANNOYING. Seriously Apple, how do I turn your stupid message off??? I TURNED OFF MY CELLULAR DATA FOR A REASON, please stop reminding me of what I already know.
    AND the worst part is, when that message pops up it locks the phone so the home button doesn't work. Pretty lame software feature in my opinion.

    There is a fix for this!  I was about to jailbreak my phone to cure this issue, but found the answer on another thread.
    Go to settings/notification center.  Select the app in question and turn the slider for "allow notifications" to ON.  Turn off the sliders below for sounds, etc. Now it shows up in the notification center separately  (or seemingly not at all) and not on your screen when you switch to the app.  Good luck!

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash.

    Every time my lg g pad 8.3 lte tablet is turned off it reverts the saving email attachment back to internal storage.  Every time I turn on, I change it back to save to SD card.  It stays that way until it is turned off for more than a minute.  If I do a restart, it holds the setting, but loses it when it is shut down for any period of time.  Does anyone else have this issue?  The setting holds for photos taken with camera storing to SD card.  Only the email attachment setting does not hold.

    I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
    I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
    I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

  • BIA  - BIA was turned off for a set of queries by Transport?

    Hello,
    Y'day we noticed that BIA was turned off for 36 queries recently. Normally when we turn off/on BIA using custom program, an alert will be sent out stating that BIA being turned off or on. We didn't receive an alert for 36 queries. And so we assumed that BIA was not turned off intentionally. 
    On further analysis, we found that our Test(QA) system has BIA turned off for the same 36 queries. We are continuing our analysis to figure out if transport played a role in turning off BIA.
    Meanwhile I am posting this message to see if anyone had experienced similar issues.
    Thanks,
    Bala

    I would envision the same and as a part of sanity check make sure the setting below are not tweaked..
    you can switch off the BIA for a specfic query in transaction RSRT > Debug MODE>--> BIA Server, flag do not use BIA server
    Or
    you can switch off the BIA index for InfoCubes in the tcode - RSDDBIAMON2
    BI Accelerator > index settings> Switch On/Off
    Hope it Helps

  • 3gs phone turns off for no reason

    iPhone turns off for no apparent reason. Battery is at full capacity and I just synced it. I have the latest 4.3.3 software. Any ideas? My girlfriend has the same issues and we use different computers and accounts to sync our iPhones. We've had the phones for a little over 2 years now.

    Thanks to everyone who has had input into this problem for me. I now have my phone working again. What did I do...?
    1st I got two of my smarter younger brothers to help and they proceeded to try a variety of things including:-
    a) swapping batteries from their phone with mine, which didn't work
    b)swapping SIM cards with mine, which also didn't work but did allow us to have a longer play around with my phone as it didn't turn off when a different SIM was in the phone
    What worked? We decided to "Restore factory settings" on my phone. My phone doesn't remove Contacts, Calendar entries and one other personal item which I can't recall when you use this function but we still saved my contacts to one of my brothers SIMs and also moved a number of photos, recordings, and video over to my memory card.
    Once this was done I put my SIM back in then restored the factory settings. There was just enough time to get to this function, just note that if you do this function you may need to have your "Security Code" handy.
    I don't think that there is any conspiracy with the phone companies (I'm with Virgin Mobile), but what I think happened was that my Brother in Law sent me a Xmas message that had some inbuilt functionality (packet data??) that my phone needed to download to view it. I think this was the cause because when my brother's SIM was in my phone I received a msg on my phone that read "Unable to receive msg from..." and I select "OK" which I think rejected it.
    Hope this help someone out in the future? Hope that I haven't been to vague. Let me know if you would like any more info.
    Cheers, and I hope all get their phones working again.
