Is it necessary to turn off the MacBookAir

is it necessary to turn off the MacBookAir 2012 or not?

You should turn your MacBook Air off on the plane, during take off and landing...
For day to day use however, you can put it to sleep, and it will happily hibernate after couple of hours, saving precious battery.
On the other hand, with SSD, it boots in matter of seconds, so it really doesn't matter if you turn it off or not, it is all to your personal preference...

  • How do i turn off the STUPID gestures? every time i quickly scroll a large page i get switched to previous sites i've been at, very, very annoying! i hate gestures!

    i'm using firefox 4.0 on an amd cpu running suse linux 11.4. i've completely turned off the gestures in suse (one of the first things i do, i can move a mouse very quickly and i like it to be a mouse!), i can't find a plugin or setting to turn these damn things off. the main problem is when i use the scroll wheel to rapidly move up or down a long web page and wind up on another page suddenly, very, very annoying! i really, really HATE gestures! then again i know how to use buttons etc. and i do mouse very quickly and creatively ( i also turn off several other "conveniances" like automatic window resizing, i know how to manage windows.....) thanks, i really, really hate these "features" being on by default, people with certain disabilites are probably also highly annoyed by the lack of choice in some procucts.
    you really, really need to provide easy access to more settings, as evidenced by the number of extensions aimed at providing control to users. thanks

    You can set all the mousewheel.with*.action prefs to 0 to perform a scroll.
    mousewheel.withnokey.action
    mousewheel.withaltkey.action
    mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action
    mousewheel.withmetakey.action
    mousewheel.withshiftkey.action
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    If necessary then you can also set all the browser.gesture prefs to empty String values.

  • When installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?

    when installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?  Is it necessary on a Mac to do so?  I come from the Windows world and am still in the learning curve on the Mac.

    Correct.  I have not installed ANY other software for anti-virus, etc.  I want to install a Synch app for my HTC phone to sych with MS Outlook 2011 installed on my Mac.    HTC will not synch with it otherwise.  That was really the basis for my question....if installing a non Apple app can be done without messing with factory settings on the Mac.  In Windows I remember that I needed to disable Norton and the Firewall in order for installation to occur. 
    Thanks.

  • HT5858 how do you turn off the need to hit enter once the password is entered

    How do you turn off the need to hit enter once a password is entered?

    Can you try logging on as another administrative user?  (Make another user, if necessary.)
    And just for the heck of it, if you click the lock and unlock the rest of the controls, does the checkbox appear?
    Another thought: is your computer part of a Windows domain or other network?  Is there a policy on the network to require a screen saver password?  (For example on my office's Windows network, a screen saver password requirement is set in the Group Policy.  I'm assuming that something similar can be done with an OSX server, if you haven't joined the Mac to a Windows Active Directory network.)

  • Turn off the Transaction log

    All,
    My client copy is really big.
    How can I switch off the Transaction logs in SQL server whie doing client copy.
    I DO NOT want Trans log keep increasing.
    In oracle, I can turn off the archive logs.
    Please advise.
    Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.
    From,
    PT.

    Hello,
    the log backup on simple mode is not necessary. The full database after switching back to full is a must.
    Please keep in mind, that even running on simple mode the log can be filled up, as all transactions are still written to the log. Commited transaction then can truncated from the log. But when you run a hugh transaction like a client copy, the log might grow as well. The log will be freed once the transaction commits or rolls back. And no, you can't split a client copy in several transactions.
    Best regards

  • Turning off the keyboard illumination

    Is there any way to turn off the illumination of the keys with one key press? On my old MBP, There was an additional function key that acted like a mute button. It's annoying to have to hit the dimmer or brighter key 5 or 6 times to get it to where I want or turn it off. Is there a work around for that or did Apple just drop the ball on this one?

    Sorry, but all I saw was two separate posts saying "Apple dropped the ball on this one" when there really was no ball to be dropped in the first place. If you hold the dimmer key for one second the backlight will turn off from most levels. Apple generally is not in the business of putting a million keys on computers and cluttering up the machine for things that are not necessary.
    I say, there are better uses for function keys; that's all I was trying to get at.

  • How do I turn off the "dynamic trim mode"?

    How do I turn off the "dynamic trim mode"? I hate it, hate it, hate it. For those that love it... great. I am glad you do, keep working. I tried to adapt, but it just isn't worth the hassle. For me, I want it gone forever. Too much zooming, no simple ripple delete.
    Again, if you love it, great! I want to turn it off, how about me adobe? I am so ready to move back to CS5.

    Hi Jim,
    You're right. What I wrote isn't the actual problem. My mistake.
    The real problem is this:
    If I select an edit point with the Selection Tool ('V'), for example, and then change to the Rolling Edit Tool, the cursor doesn't change while hovering over the currently selected edit point, and the only way to use the Rolling Edit Tool on the selected edit point is to first deselect it and then reselect it again. The same problem occurs vice versa.
    If you toggle the trim type to "Roll" after selecting the edit with a keyboard shortcut this is not necessary. It might take some getting used to, but see if that works for you.

    If I select an edit point's left side (outgoing clip) with the Selection Tool, but then want to select the right side at that same edit point (incoming clip), dragging the cursor over to the right side of the edit point has no effect (i.e. the cursor stubbornly remains a left-pointing arrow for editing the prior clip's out point).  The only way to select the right side of the edit point to first deselect the left side (i.e. click on any clip) and then select the right side.  The same problem occurs vice versa.
    Again, toggle the trim type with a keyboard shortcut (Shift-T is for Windows, Ctrl-T is for Mac), then your tool will appear and behave as expected.
    It sounds like you wish to have the Final Cut Pro behavior, where the cursor that is chosen will appear over the edit, regardless of how the edit is selected. Note that here you must click to select the edit with the proper trim type before you drag the tool.
    In Premiere Pro, the cursor will not change to the selected tool unless the edit is selected with the corresponding trim type. If you want to click and drag the trim tools as you did with Final Cut Pro, yes, you must deselect the selected edit point first.
    Anyone can send me a PM at any time. I'm your representative to the Premiere Pro team.

  • How do you turn off the password requirment to unlock from screen saver?

    In mac system prefrence under the secuirity options there is no checkbox or way to turn off the password requirment while the mac is on screen saver mode or sleep mode? I read in mac help that there should be an option?

    Can you try logging on as another administrative user?  (Make another user, if necessary.)
    And just for the heck of it, if you click the lock and unlock the rest of the controls, does the checkbox appear?

    Safari Extention "Security 1.0" do not uninstall from the list and is crashing Safari. I cant even open it. I have to turn off the extensions in order to use Safari.I delete all extensions from the /Library/Internet Plugins and ~/Library/Safari/Extensions except for this extension

    The most anoying is this question for every site. Any help?

    Uninstall the whole worthless "WebSense" product.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

    Putting iPod devices with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode
    If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.

    How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

    CHANGING THE INTERFACE COLOR SCHEME:
    The Photoshop CS6 default interface is dark, but if you prefer the lighter interface you are used to from earlier versions,
