If I don't want or need an 'event'....

Is there any way to load photos directly from my camera into the photo library without having an event automatically created for them?
I have many pictures for which the concept of an event is irrelevant and I would like to be able to choose which of them are grouped into an event and which are not.
thanks
Gary

In a word, No.
But it really doesn't matter. On the left hand pane of iPhoto there's the word 'Photos' and that's a view of the self-same library not broken into Events.
Now you can customise that as you wish - Check out the View Menu for more.
In more detail: simply, Events are just a word. They're just Folders with a fancy icon. You can move pics between Events, consolidate events rename them etc etc, just like any folder. BUt every pic is in one of these folders somewhere. They're the basic building block of the Library.
Other than that, of course, for real flexibility, keywording and Albums offer pretty much unlimited flexibility in organising your Photos.

Forcing customers to pay for a phone and/or data package they don't want or need

By their practices Verizon is forcing customers to pay for more than what the customer wants or needs, and at the same time giving the customer less of what they want or need.
I've been a Verizon Wireless customer for years. Everytime my 2 year upgrade is due I check what phones are available. It seems that as time goes by there are less and less Basic Phones with a qwerty keyboard, music player, good camera, and video. Now, there are only 3 phones to choose from that don't require a data package: none of them have a camera over 1.3 megapixels, none have video, and ALL had HORRIBLE customer reviews. Those reviews tell me I'm not the only disgruntled Verizon customer.
I've had Verizon phones that I liked in the past; right now I have a Blitz. I settled for that one because it was the best of the few bad choices available at the time. My most recent 2 year contract has been over for 5 months so now I'm on month-to-month with no contract, which is awesome. But my phone, which I like for the most part, doesn't work right.The problem is the earpiece speaker quit working as soon as my contract was up (maybe a software timebomb to force me to get a new phone?) so I took it to a repair shop to get it replaced. They replaced it but that speaker died after 2 months and since the phone has been discontinued (grr!), there is NO chance of getting a new speaker. That wouldn't be such an issue if the Bluetooth function had ever worked, which it never did. I recently broke down and decided I'd settle on something, so I tried the KinTwo (one of my 3 choices) but it sucked immensely so I sent it back.
So now I'm forced to buy a phone (with Some of the features I need, because it's obviously impossible to get ALL the features I want/need in One phone) that I don't like; AND pay for a $10 -$30 data package which I don't want or need, and can't afford; AND forced to sign up for a new 2 year contract. I'd rather go with Pay As You Go because I barely use any 'minutes' (I do more texting than talking, which is why I need a good qwerty keyboard) but I'd have to pay over $350 for a fairly decent phone.
HEY VERIZON, How about providing more than 3 choices of phones that don't require a data package? And how about making those phones GOOD QUALITY and not the garbage you're providing for sale now?
I'd like to stay with Verizon because they DO have the best service area compared to the other Big wireless phone companies . I've been with AT&T and the service area is really not as good. I even did comparison research for a college course's Final Project because I wanted to know which company had the more truthful claims about their coverage area. I live in the Sierra foothills and reception is a big issue with a lot of people here. I've talked with customers of the other companies and they all agree I should stay with Verizon. But if Verizon can't offer any good phones then I might as well switch to another carrier who may have more concern for their customer's needs. Even after giving us few choices of devices, charging high prices, and gauging us at every opportunity, they give us less incentive to stay a loyal customer. At least AT&T has roll-over minutes, Criket has 'no contract' service, and TracPhone has no contract/Pay as you go service with inexpensive phones.
So please excuse me while I go to the other carriers' websites to see what they're offering...

You are spot on. Verizon wants to squeeze every dollar it can from it's customers and customer service can take a DISTANT back seat to greed. I have a Chocolate Touch which I got a few years ago(before it REQUIRED a data package). I had activated a different phone which I ended up not liking and when I tried to re-activate my Chocolate I got slammed with the required data crappage..er package. I had to fight to get the data BLOCKED and the phone activated again.
Wifi is all over but all the phones that have Wifi that Verizon sells require data packages too. I REFUSE to give Verizon $30 minimum for data when I have no need for it. If they had ANY CLUE about customer service they would simply allow you to buy whatever phone you wanted from them(or others) and activate them with data blocks.Until they do I guess I will either be stuck with my old phones or go provider shopping. Which I am sure Budone will find great satisfaction in.
On that topic. I am amazed that Versizon sits back and lets your apathy and disrespect of ANYONE who does not kowtow to the company line as they seem to. You are a "gold user" so clarly you are some sort of Verzion demi-god. Gotta say, there is not one word of disrespect in what I wrote. I do not puke on anyone, BUT I do present a different view than you or the OP may be willing to see with your, "Woe is me, have pity on me, and let me do what I want, if not involve the government to protect myself from myself attitude."
If you took time to look at posts of mine, I have had VZW in my crosshairs a few times, but they made it right. All in how you present yourself. Personally, I am willing to bet that corporate suck ups like you are the very reason many people finally DO make the break from Verizon. Your habit of puking all over people with legitimate complaints and the tolerance of same on this board lead ME and I am sure others to feel that your dismissive attitude is acceptable to, if not encouraged by Verizon in General. And yes, I have been edited in the past. But there was NOTHING in my prior post that has anything you state in it. You just dont like what I said. That is not towing the company line, that is knowing it costs a Ton of money to get a new deivce to market and data plans helps recoup the cost and allows upgrades and LTE to be deployed. You would be upset if you could not use your phone where there is NOT any WiFi.
Even though I have had issues with Verizon's service and corporate paradigm(especially the companys determination to exthort every penny it can from me), almost every Service Rep I have spoken to has been considerate, friendly and helpful. There have been one or two who, when I broached the possible need for finding a new provider, seems unconcerned, but in general I have been made to feel valued by the people I have spoken with. {please keep your posts courteous}
As for the demi-god comment, maybe I can get a MOD or ADMIN to change me from Gold to that!

How can I shut off the back up feature in ITunes. I don't want or need it. Everytime I try to add a single song to my ipod it takes 3 hours to back up. Is there anyway to make Itunes more user friendly I guess is the basic question.

Ok I have to be honest. Apple products and I do not get along. I really don't understand why you get locked out of nearly every feature. Anyway I don't want my Ipod backed up. It eats up memory and I simply do not need it. All I want to do is add a song or two without having to wait 3 hours. I also don't want to waste the space on my computer for the backup files. Lil help? Any answers would be helpful such as why they do this etc...

Sorry but I know of no way of not backing up for a PC.

Help - I don't want to trigger an event!!

public void tableChanged( TableModelEvent event ){
int row = event.getFirstRow();
int area = c.area(input);
if(table.getValueAt(row,QUANTITY) != null){
table.setValueAt(""+area,row,SUBTOTAL); //This causes an infinite loop! I don't want it to trigger an event!
}How can I get it to ignore this event, or stop it from triggering an event?

private boolean respond = true;
public void tableChanged( TableModelEvent event ){if (!respond) return;
int row = event.getFirstRow();
int area = c.area(input);
if(table.getValueAt(row,QUANTITY) != null){respond = false;
table.setValueAt(""+area,row,SUBTOTAL); //Thisrespond = true;

My old PC no longer works but my iTunes account is on it, I don't want or need a new PC so how do I access my account?

My iTunes account is on my old PC laptop which no longer works so I have no access to update my iPod nano or back up iPhone etc. what can I do?

You can create "on-the-go" playlists on the nano.
You can't very well home share from a computer that isn't running. Your Apple TV can connect to your account and stream your purchases from iTunes in the Cloud.
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device when you're ready to to pull back your non-purchased media which you presumably haven't backed up elsewhere.

Don't want random keyboard & mouse events to wake from sleep

is there any way to prevent a random keyboard press or mouse movement from waking up the computer? a terminal setting or something? ideally, i'd just like to use the power button to do this--or at the very least to completely disable the mouse's ability to wake the machine, and specify a certain key or something.
seems like an obvious setting that's missing...or that i'm overlooking...?
thanks!
various Macs Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks.
If it's a BlueTooth mouse you can uncheck the option in the Keyboard & Mouse preferences.

How do I remove the digital signature option on Adobe Acrobat 7.x? I don't want it, but it pops up every time I need to sign a form, and I cannot find a way to remove

I created a digital signature to sign forms using Adobe Acrobat 7.x. I really don't want or need this feature, but do not know how to remove it or keep it from popping up every time I need to sign a form. Can anyone help? I'm not that technically savvy, so please explain in layman's terms. Thanks!

It's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. If you get rid of your digital ID you will still be prompted to create/add one when you need to sign a form, which you say you still need to do? Do you really just want to e-sign (hand-drawn signature, or stamp) instead of digitally sign? Do the forms you're using have digital signature fields?

Documents saved in firefox format cannot be viewed in the preview pane. Why? Also, I don't want my documents changed to another format. How do I change back?

Documents in Firefox format do not open automatically in the preview pane. Why? Also, I don't want my documents changed from the original format. How do I change them back and how do I keep this from happening again. I don't want to have to select a different format every time I try to open a document. That is a pain in the neck. I want to "click to open" and the document be in it's original format. If necessary I will go back to one of the other browsers I have used in the past. As I don't want multiple browsers on my computer it would be necessary to uninstall Firefox. I like it so far other than you all hijacking my documents and altering the way they open. You also might want to remember that even the "legitimate" folks on the internet are seen as predatory, i.e., gathering information, tricking us into installing crap we don't want or need, and in some cases, requiring a specific program to open a specific document. I'd be working very hard to show you are trustworthy. If you have a solution to this and it is complex then you will be wasting your time and my time trying to explain it. You guys created this so, if I'm going to use Firefox, you fix it on your end. FYI, if I have to uninstall Firefox I will, when asked, strongly recommend against using your service. Thank you.

Do you mean PDF documents?
The installer was supposed to add Firefox as an ADDITIONAL viewer for PDFs, not as the DEFAULT viewer. Sorry you were affected by this glitch and hopefully they will figure out why some systems get changed this way.
You can try this fix suggested by a user in another thread:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat*
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that work for you?
''*'' If you do not have Adobe Reader 10 or 11, you can install it from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Photos keeps wanting to import iPhone pics that I *don't* want to import

I have photos on my phone that I just don't want or need to import into Photos on my Mac. In iPhoto, once I told it that I didn't want to import a photo, iPhoto never asked about it again. In Photos, however, each time I connect my phone, it brings up the same pictures all over again, along with any new ones. So it's essentially asking me over and over to import the same photos that I don't WANT to import.
I've looked in Settings (minimal as they are), but I can't find anything to tell it to ignore those pictures after the first time I say not to import them.
Does anyone have any idea how to have those pictures just ignored by the new Photos app?

Thanks for the responses, but never mind. I realized that I was actually importing them originally and then deleting them from iPhotos. I can do the same thing in Photos. No problem, then.

Don't want to update firmware, but AEX keeps blinking

Hey all - unlike a good majority around here, the 7.5 firmware of my AEX has been rock-solid and I really don't want (or need) to update it to 7.5.1 for fear of it going haywire. My Macs, iPhones, iPad, even the PCs all have no issues with AEX.
But Airport Utility (5.5.1) keeps telling me the AEX has a problem, the orange light keeps blinking on the AEX - but the "problem" is only that a new firmware update is available.
Does anybody have an idea how I can tell the AEX to stop warning me about this? I don't mind, but when the message pops up on my wife and kids Macs, they get all worried thinking they've somehow screwed up (another) computer. Thanks.

launch +airport utility+, enter +manual setup+ for your AX, and click on status. you can choose to ignore the problem that's being reported (namely the firmware update).
after that, AU should leave you be.

I don't want the upgrade but it keeps updating

I bought an app from Splash ID years ago. Now they want me to upgrade an pay $19.95. I don't want the upgrade but it keeps updating, so I have to delete it constantly and reinstall. How can I stop this one app from upgrading?

so why is skype quietly downloading and installing things in my browsers with out either informing me or asking permission?
really I am a big girl if I want browser plug ins and extentions I use grease monkey I can installl them myself thank you very much.
Now stop forcing me to update, forcing me to add softwear I don't want or need.
You want a tool bar that's fine, stop being jerks about it and give me the option to opt out!

Software Updates that I neither want nor need

Hello,
It seems like every week, I get an alert with the same list of software updates for programs that I never use. iLife, iMovie, iGarage or whatever it's called, etc.
Sure, I install the security updates and all the relevant stuff, but I get so sick of always unchecking the boxes on all the unnecessary stuff, only to have it pop up again next time. At this point, there are about a dozen updates it tells me about each week, and ALL of them are ones that I don't want or need.
Any way to deactivate the alert for certain types of items? Thank you.

Any way to deactivate the alert for certain types of items?
Select the ones you don't want to keep seeing and use Software Update's "Update" menu > "Ignore Update...".

Are clean my mac and mackeeper legit? i am nervous as i got caught with mac defender. both of these programs i found on my mac tips and tricks app on dashboard and thought they would be approved. not sure and don't want to go ahead and use the samples etc

are clean my mac and mac keeper legit? i am nervous as i got caught in the macdefender scheme but these two i found on the mac tips and tricks app on dashboard so downloaded them but haven't used them yet. just don't want or need another mac defender hassle. thanks for any and all info in advance

once again thanks for more info. what i am still not clear on is if i haven't installed mackeeper can i just drag the icon of the open box [in one case] and the mackeeper icon in my app folder. i somehow downloaded two copies of mackeeper. clicked on one and it was put into my app folder. then i decided to use it and clicked on it and it started asking for email address and stuff. while i put an address in i didn't finish installing or hitting the button that would have probably got it completely installed.
checked the email address i gave it and no notice from them that i had completed the install or any other info. makes me hope it is still un installed.
given the givens should i use the apple help writer "how to uninstall mackeeper" on one or both of them or just hope that dragging them to the trash will suffice?
one of the many great things about apple is this support communities and folks like you and paul. have been rescued from my stupidity by others and you guys. thanks again

Need an event that fires for child containers on tabnavigator change

I have a tabnavigator with canvas containers representing
pages in a web app. What event can I attach to each canvas
container's implementation actionscript file that will fire
whenever that canvas comes into view via the tab selection? (sort
of like an onload event). This event is used to refresh data for
that particular page, so I need it to fetch data whenever the page
(tab) is selected.
I do not want to attach any events to the tabnavigator itself
so that the implementation is generic at the container level. I
tried several events, such as show and creationComplete, but the
creationComplete event only fires the first time when the canvas is
instantiated.
Maybe this is really easy and I am just missing it
somehow...

"show" is the first thing I tried, but it will only fire if
the canvas is shown after coming from another sibling (ie another
tab or link in the same navigation control).
I created a small test file here:
http://webpages.charter.net/brandonmb/files/test.mxml
that uses a linkbar inside a tabnavigator. In my regular
application, the linkbar is actually another tabnavigator, but this
demonstrates why I don't want to attach any events to the
navigation control.
You will note that the first link under each main tab has a
show event defined. This will only fire if you click another
sibling, then come back to it.
I need an event to fire ANY time the canvas (ie the content
of each subtab) comes into view, for whatever reason. This event
will trigger code to fetch and refresh data on the page.
You would intuitively think that "show" would do just this,
but it doesn't (unless I am doing something wrong). It should fire,
for example, when the user clicks the main tab, and the first tab
is selected by default. It should also fire if I click the same
link it is currently on (but I think this has to do with the fact
that Flex disables the current link for some reason, instead of
showing it as a 'selected' color).

If I don't want or need an 'event'....
