Is there a way to block the pop up window for Spotlight in Yosemite?

I want to keep the search in the corner of the screen and out of my way when I'm watching a video/multitasking. It is getting in the way of a lot of my work. I can't even move the window from the center of the screen. If not then spotlight is now just a nuisance. I'd rather use the search bar in the finder window because that can at least be moved to the bottom of the screen.

i have been looking for a way to do this too! spotlight use to be nice and out of the way for me

Apple's changes in iOS 7 are smarter.
"Losing your iOS device feels lousy. Thankfully, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new security features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it. Which means your device is still your device. No matter where it is."

Is there a way to view the timecode in iMovie for Mac?

Is there a way to view the timecode in iMovie for Mac? This is such a basic feature needed for editing; I can't believe it wouldn't be available. Am I missing something?

Do the math means you know the timecode at the beginning of each clip and when you mouse over a transition or clip you know the clip length. If you trim the clip you see how much you are trimming. With these numbers you can caulate the cursor position or find the timecode value at any frame in the clip. I am not saying it is an elegant process by any means, but if you really need to, this will work. Obviously it is a grievius situation Apple has left us in regarding timecode.

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network? Network is administered through an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Ideally, would like for the second Airport Extreme hard drive to appear on the list of devices in the Finder window.

Ok.. gottcha
The problem is network wise.. Yosemite is about equal to tin cans and string.. pathetic.
Here is my usual set of instructions to get anything working on Yosemite.
The best way to fix problems is a full factory reset of all the AE in the network.
Factory reset universal
Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg AEgen5 and AEwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use AE24ghz and AE5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for AE which is router.. it is a problem for AE which is bridged.. you will need to set static IP in the main router by dhcp reservations or use static IP in the AE which is tricky.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
6. Now mount the disk of the second AE in finder... manually.
Use Go, Connect to Server and type in the AE ip address.
SMB://10.0.1.2
Where you will replace that address with the actual address. The network resource should be discovered and then it will request the password.. type that in and make sure you tick to save it in your keychain.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
Do as much as you want of the above... not all of it is necessary.. only if you want it reliable.. or as reliable as Yosemite in its current incarnation can manage.
The most important thing is point 6.. mount the disk using direct IP address and not names.. dns in Yosemite is fatally flawed.

How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox updates?

How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox and Thunderbird updates?
Apparently now Mozilla creates new versions of their browser and email apps every two weeks instead of just creating updates... I'm tired of all of the pop-up requests for these constant installation requests and all the problems that the new version installations create... I just want to use the software and be left alone.
I can't find a way to make Firefox and Thunderbird stop with the pop-up requests for new installations... is there a way to do this or has Mozilla just got it rigged so one can't just use the software without re-installing a new version every two weeks and running in to new plugin issues and missing features every time?
Help!

Is it possible that her computer is infected with malware.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Mha007:
Sorry, but I have already tried this too and verified that the web addresses are listed as Allow, rather than Block. After restart there was no difference, I still get the disappearing pop-up windows.
Thanks for offering suggestions though.
Have you heard of any issues like this occurring based on the number of tabs that are open in Firefox?
Just a thought, even though I have not heard of this as an issue before. I keep about 80 tabs open regularly, because of research that I am always conducting (I am a blogger, a writer/author, a technophile-especially Green Tech.,), email, work, etc.?
I do have a check in the box for Firefox to let me know if the number of open tabs is causing slow down or other issues.
Thanks for any help.

How to Suppress the POP UP window for Print out Device

Hi All,
I have One ALV Grid report and in this report I want to SUBMIT another report which, when executes gives the POP UP window for Printer Device and sends the output to that device. if we give LOCL, sends output to Spool.
So I want to Suppress that POP UP Window and by default that POP UP window should take 'LOCL' as Printer Device.
Thanks in advance,
Helpful answer get awareded.

On the submit command is a spool parameters option.
The addition WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO suppresses the print dialog box that is displayed as standard when you use the addition TO SAP-SPOOL.
The addition SPOOL PARAMETERS is used to transfer the print parameters in a pri_params structure that belongs to the data type PRI_PARAMS from the ABAP Dictionary.
PRI_PARAMS-PDEST specificies the output device.

Is there a way to block the hotspot from the actual phone

My stepdaughter has an iphone 5C. We are on a family share plan. I just checked her data and it's showing she has used 8.2G of data. When I asked her about it, she stated her mom has been using her hotspot . I called ATT to see what could be done and they said my only options are: put her on an individual plan that does not include hot spot access, or pay for smart limits. Is there any way to disable the hotspot from both the kid and her mom?
FRUSTRATED!!
Thanks!

Is there a way to overcome the two-connection limit for XMLHTTPRequest?

Hi, I'm using AIR SDK 2.5 from HTML/Javascript.
According to the same origin policy (SOP) there's a max of two request that can be sent to the same domain/port using AJAX (XMLHTTPRequest).
I have a long polled connection that is almost always using one ajax request, so I have only one left.
Is there a way to change the security settings in order to allow more than two simultaneous requests to the same domain/port?
Thanks,
Guille

Hi Guille,
The AIR runtime is using the Internet Explorer network stack on Windows and the Webkit's on Mac and Linux. The maximum number of connections is limited by the corresponding stack and cannot be modified from AIR.

Is there a way to block the inappropriate content in the podcasts app?

Hello,
I am a husband, father and pastor and do a lot of podcast listening throughout the week, but was recently very disappointed to find some very adult content in the podcasts app under "top stations," with seemingly no way to block or monitor podcast content. I would love to not have those things in my face and for them to not be available to my young child to find, either.
Is there anything I can do to block the "top stations" functionality, or to block certain station-groups? Or to block any content at all in the podcasts app? There doesn't seem to be a way that I can see.
Thanks
Nick

In your project's build settings there is an OSACompile - Build Options section where you can select the option to Save as Execute-Only. The run-only script isn't encrypted, but I haven't heard of anyone taking the time to decompile one. Note that even though the script is no longer easily readable, text strings and variable/method names can still be seen.

Is there any way to block a few websites even for an administrator user?

Hi, I would like to block a few specific websites on my imac, and someone told me to go to system preferences, accounts, and parental controls. But it says you can't block websites for an account user (which is what I am). There is an option to block all websites, except what is on the bookmarks bar, but I don't want to do that and not be able to web search. I just want to block a few specific websites. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can do this using OS X's built in Firewall but you'll want to use Flying Buttress (link) to give you a nice front-end to make the changes with.
First find the IP addresses of the sites you wish to block.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Network Utility > Tracetroute tab.
Enter the address i.e. www.apple.com and traceroute will give you the IP i.e. 17.149.160.10.
Load up Flying Buttress and add a new filter (for example on my Powerbook I always connect via Airport so I choose the Airport tab and click 'Add New Filter').
Action:"Deny" the Service:"World Wide Web" from Source:"My Computer" to Other...:"Host IP: 17.149.160.10".
Add a new filter for each page you wish to block.
Remember to go through and check all the settings on all the tabs are set to "Deny" unless you are using them to maintain the integrity of your Firewall.
Hope that helps.

Is there a way to change the type of hash for passwords in active direcroty?

I would like to know what type of hash used for active directory passwords and if there is a way to change the type of hash.

Hi,
Windows generates and stores user account passwords by using two different password representations, generally known as "hashes." When you set or change the password for a user account to a password that contains fewer than 15 characters, Windows generates
both a LAN Manager hash (LM hash) and a Windows NT hash (NT hash) of the password.
You can configure the type to only store the stronger NT hash of your password.
