Is there a way to disable the AppleTV remote control on a MacBook?

I often work on my MacBook Pro while watching shows using Apple TV, but every time I pause or play something on the AppleTV, the remote signal also activates iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I pretty much never use the remote to control my MacBook Pro. Is there a setting for disabling the IR receiver or for just telling the MacBook to ignore requests from a remote?

You can disable the IR receiver of the MacBook. To do it, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy, and press the padlock to sign in as an administrator. Then, press "Advanced" and tick the option to disable the IR receiver.

Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library.
The thing is: I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality. It is so much more convenient and user friendly. Given the choice between having the display seperate from the processing, or having it be convenient and easy to work with, I choose the later option.
For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system.. I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
Possible or no?

Did you transfer the telephone number from the old phone to the new phone? If you did, I don't see how you could still have cellular service, even if you turned it off in settings.

HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV - Is there a way to disable the Fingerprint Scanner?

I am using an HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV Windows 8.1.
This model came with a fingerprint scanner in the lower left of the computer. While this seems like a nice feature, it's not one that I am planning on using (I use LastPass for my passwords). I keep accidentally running part of my palm over the scanner which will bring up the screen for HP SimplePass. This can come up at the most inopportune moments, and it can get quite annoying trying to always conciously avoid the fingerprint scanner.
Is there any way to disable the fingerprint scanner?
Thanks.

@DSWJoshua,
Thanks for posting. You can disable the fingerprint reader. To be thorough, I will provide steps to disable the driver itself, and Biometric support, so you don't have to worry about it later.
To disable the Driver, go to Control Panel, then Device Manager. Expand Biometric devices. Right-click on the Validity sensor and Uninstall.
To turn off biometric support, go to Control Panel, then Biometric devices. Uncheck Allow users to log on to Windows using their fingerprints and then save it.

Hi,
take a look at:

At the top you can (de-) activate the automatic login.
Does it work for you?

Is there any way to disable the lock screen with out the screen staying on?

I know there is away to disable the pass lock but is there a way to disable the screen from locking every time the screen goes off? cause it's so much easier to just press the answer button than to slide it to unlock. phone versions iPhone 4s and iPhone 5c.

You're confusing a direct answer with a rude one. Wjosten's reply wasn't rude. It was accurate and direct, without any sugercoating. You can't get the device to operate the way that you want (lock the screen, but not really 'lock' the screen). It's not a 'screensaver' like on your computer. It's a lock screen, designed to prevent accidental activation of the device screen, and possibly launching apps, making phone calls, etcetera.
If you want an option added that allows the device to do what you want, tell Apple.

Direct, accurate information. That's what wjosten provided.

Is there any way to disable the expanding scroll bars in Mountain Lion?

Since I never scroll by dragging the scroll bars with the cursor, I find the expansion of the scroll bars to be a distracting and even productivity limiting feature. Is there any way to disable the expansion of the scroll bars (perhaps with a terminal command)? System Preferences doesn't have an option to switch this feature off as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks a lot in advance.

No!

the external GPS is used only for 911 but the device will not operate without it...this causes great inconvenience for me, having to run that cable to a window in the two houses I use it..is there a way to disable the GPS if I do not care about the 911 functionability..? this is the only downside I have with the network extender and it renders my device useless..

Nope, GPS is a Federal requirement for anything operating a cellular telephone signal. You don't ever plan to call 911 until you are in an emergency. I don't see that requirement changing any time soon.
If you are truly inconvenienced by the VZW network extender then perhaps you should disable you calling features in these areas and swap over to WiFi only. There are many services and apps out there that can route your phone services through internet service providers.

If you mean RAM, not after it leaves the factory.
If you mean storage space, install a larger internal drive or plug in an external one.

Thanks!

It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

Is there a way to disable the itunes video pop up for music videos in itunes 11?

I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the video window from popping up everytime I change a music video track in itunes in previous versions I always used play in artwork viewer but I accidentally updated and now that option is no longer there. I use itunes to organize my music collection as I'm a video dj but it's becoming to be a really big pain now with all the videos popping up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You can choose to have videos play in the iTunes window, rather than a separate window. Start playback of a video, then right click in the video and choose "Play video in iTunes window"
