Illustrator feature accidentally turned on - how to turn off?

I must have accidentally pressed something, because Illustrator just started telling me what everything is. Whenever I run my mouse over an object or path, the outline of the object shows up in light blue colour, along with 'anchor' or 'path', depending on what the object is. See screenshot below.
Does anyone know what this is, and how to turn it off?

While smart guides will turn this feature off what I do because I want my smart guides activated. I turn off the preference for this feature which is found in Illustrator/Prefs/Smart Guides & Slice/ then turn off the 4 check boxes under Display Options.

You seem to have found the right setting. From my notes:
Add the following line to $ORACLE_HOME/search/webapp/config/search.properties and then restart oc4j:
ses.qapp.similar_doc_handling=disabled
Maybe you didn't restart oc4j (using "searchctl restart")?

How to turn off double tap feature?

I have a new iPod touch and the double tap feature is annoying. Does anyone know how to turn it off?

I think you have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

I don't want my DVD to Autostart - how to turn that "feature" off

In the older iMovie - iDVD versions I used - I would create an iMovie - send to iDVD - my menu - by default - would always show up first on a TV. Now in Snow Leopard and the latest iMovie & iDVD - when I share an iMovie - it defaults to autostart and I, for the life of me, cannot see how to turn that off. It does it automatically - I did not drag anything to that first menu spot. I want the DVD to open to my home menu page.
I am sure it is easy, but I do not yet have my head wrapped around the new versions.
Also - can I have some chapter markers that are invisible - not viewable in the menu.
I have a 2 act musical and I would like the users to jump from song to song via "invisible markers".
Thanks for any help.

Hi Charles
Welcome to apple discussions. I'm fairly certain you can meet each of your stated objectives in FCS/DVDSP but not in iDvd alone.
However, you should be able to make the initial menu screen as the very first item that shows up on your finished iDvd project. I know you didn't intentionally drag and drop your movie to the very first box while in map view. Nevertheless, if the movie should default to this box then you have to take it upon yourself to select this first box and hit delete. Stinks, I know. Always check map view prior to burning a dvd as well as the project info capacity meter and encoder settings to make certain everything fits nicely prior to burning. Keep in mind iM'09=>iDvd are consumer apps not pro apps (some on this forum call the process an internet ready application which perhaps isn't entirely off the mark). However, I'll reserve judgment until I've actually used all of the features within iMovie'09 and iDvd.
The latter features you want (like embedded markers) are professional options that require apple's pro apps as opposed to apple's i-apps.

Xerox Phaser 8860 on Network-How to turn off popup print job confirmations?

I recently upgraded to OS 10.6.4 and as expected I needed to reinstall the drivers for a few peripherals. One of which was the Xerox Phaser 8860 which is on the network. Everything works, but now after each print job prints out a window pops up in the center of the screen notifying me that ::Job### has printed on Xerox Phaser 8860::. It causes no serious problems, but it does knock me out of what ever program I am using. Which can get extremely annoying when I'm drawing and I repeatedly get halted mid (pen/brush) stroke. It stays up on the screen for about a minute and a few times it has remained up. There is an option to close, it simply gets really annoying after the 30th time. Common sense would suggest to not draw while a file is on it's way to the printer, but my work day is a constant flow of drawing, printing, color tests and editing. It's not practical or good for deadlines to stop drawing to wait for a print job to come out and the pop up window to go away.
I tested printing from the other computers, which are PC's using various versions of windows and they all come up with the same pop up window (though theirs come up at the bottom right of the screen). They do not receive confirmation windows from the other printers not on the network.
This suggested to me that this was a setting with the Xerox software. However, I spoke to the technical support for Xerox and they said that the pop up window had nothing to do with their software and claim that it had to be generated by the Mac OS 10.6.4.
I am regularly printing from the following programs:
Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat, Word, and Excel. The pop out window has acquired while printing files from all of these programs. I doubt that has any relation but I thought I'd add it, just in case.
I would very much like to know how to turn this confirmation notification off in OS 10.6.4. Or if anyone has an thoughts on what software could be the culprit.

In CWIS go to Properties > General > Printer Defaults and disable the Startup page As for garbage prints, That sounds like a PS error. And they are almost always due to improperly embedded fonts. Have all your users switch the following in their drivers (Picture is the global driver, but the regular driver will have the same option.) Essentially by default the printer uses its own locally stored fonts on the jobs, but when the fonts are misunderstood, or unknown it winds up printing wingdings.

How to turn off screen rotation on itouch 5

I just upgraded to a 32 bit iTouch 5 and was wanting to know how to turn off the screen rotation when I'm playing music. I have the shake to shuffle off (great feature!) but would like to turn off the screen rotation. I just find that to be annoying (to me anyway)...how do I do this on the 5?

Pull up the Control Center and lock the screen rotation. Tap the arrowed-circled padlock on the right side to toggle

How to turn off hard disk identification in LR 3.3?

Hi!
I have a problem with LR 3.3 on my Windows XP. I have a lot of harddisk (1TB, 2TB SATA2, made by Samsung) in my XP system with my RAW photos, all encrypted by Truecrypt. When I need to import my existings photos from that secured harddisk (Truecrypt is the best tool i have tested), LR 3.3 is blocking option Move and Add in Import dialog.
I must duplicate my photos by Copy options only - like from memory card.
LR 3.3 is thinking, that my encrypted harddisks are my memory cards, and is disable Add and Move option.
How to turn that bad identyfication off?
And in the end, every time when I want to import photos - LR 3.3 is searching all my TB harddisks (more then 30 minutes) to create and show my thumbs in folders - and I can not stop this searching. How to turn it off too?
Regards

Remisteness,
There are a few things to mention regarding your problem:
1) Scanning all of the Drive(s) after Starting Import
Right after the import dialog opens, try to click onto an internal drive as soon as possible and uncheck "Include Subfolders". This should prevent the scanning of the drive(s).
2) What is presented to the O/S for an Encrypted Device
Obviously, your encryption software presents the "virtual" drives as removable devices to the operating system, which leads LR to treat them as "Cards".
I have a similar software in use to access encrypted data in "Container Files" (SafeGuard PrivateDisk). In SafeGuard PrivateDisk, I can configure how a "virtual" drive is presented to the Operating System, either as a removable device or as a simulated harddisk. If I choose "Simulate Harddisk", the "virtual" drive is represented like a harddisk in my WinXP and LR does not show it as a removable device, hence without the restriction imposed on "Cards" during import.
3) Restrictions imposed by LR while Importing from "Cards"
LR prevents users from moving photos when directly accessing a memory card, because if a file would get corrupted during import no valid copy of the image would exist anywhere anymore. Also, adding photos residing on a real memory card does not make sense either, as too many users would be looking for their original images after disconnecting the (and possibly reformatting) the memory card.
There has been a lengthy discussion in this forum lately on whether it makes sense or not that LR tries to protect users from their own wrong doing. I guess one can see it either way, and the limitations chosen by Adobe kind of protect Adobe from too many questions/accusations.
4) Workaround for LR 3.3
To be able to add or move from a removable device in LR 3.3, you can do the following:
Create yourself one or two Import Presets, with Add or Move as the action to be performed. You have to create these presets while doing a test-import from a interal or external HDD, and save them from there.
When accessing your removable device, access the drive by clicking onto the drive letter in the drive list below "Files", and not by clicking onto the removable device under "Devices"
Choose one of the Import Presets built in step 1
This will use Move or Add as the action to be performed (note that no action at all will be highlighted), even though you're importing from a "Card".
As this behaviour is a hidden/undocumented feature (or even bug?), we do not know whether this possibility will still be existing in future releases of LR, but for right now it seems to be a workaround.

How to turn off frame edge highlighting in CS5?

Has anyone discovered how to turn off the frame edge highlighting on rollovers. I find this feature visually distracting and quite annoying as I'm moving around a page. Send advice, please. Thx.

Chief:
Sorry we got off track and didn't post the main workaround for Frame Edge Highlighting: Keep your hand on the spacebar.
This comes from Mike Rankin in the InDesign Magazine Tip of the Week in January:
TIP: Spring-Loaded Tools to the Rescue
InDesign tries very hard to help you align objects when you drag by snapping them Do you dislike the Frame Edge Highlighting that appears when you mouse over frames in CS5? Spring-loaded tools can help. Frame edge highlighting only appears when you use one of the selection tools. With spring-loaded tools, you can press and hold single keys to temporarily switch to any other tool. As long as you hold the key for more than a second, you'll switch back to your previous tool when you release the key. You have plenty of choices (t, \, p, f, m, n, c, e, g, z, etc).
Holding the spacebar also prevents the highlighting from appearing, and it's a nice big place for your fingers to rest. Heck, you don't even have to pay much attention to where you press--just rest your hand in the middle of the keyboard and lift it up when you want to select something. But don't hold v or a, which are the shortcuts for the selection tools.
- Mike Rankin
(Mike had suggests this several times in the past year, though not with the spacebar. E.g. he recommended 'H' back in June over on
InDesignSecrets. "H" for Hate).
There have been several threads on this, including the locked 201-post monster, Frame edge highlighting, and the feature request Allow Frame Edge Highlighting to be turned off, and frame edge highlights on hover.
Basically the takeaway is that it only happens with the selection (V) and direct selection (A) tools, and that multiple people have asked Adobe for a control to turn it off, and they've finally added one, but only in CS5.5, not in a CS5 maintenance release.
