Is there a way to eneble the caps light while the caps lock is off

I would like to have my computer so that the green LED is on when the caps lock is off. Is there any way?

It's very unlikely that there is any way to do that. Why not just learn to accept that what the light means is what it means?

Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification?

I have an iphone 4s. Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification? I keep it next to my bed at night and keep thinking there is lightning when something comes thru. LOL

Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn LED Flas for Alerts to Off.

Is there a way to turn the camera on and off remotely?

Does anyone know of a way to turn the camera on and off remotely? I have a client that wants to mount a camera to the ceiling to photograph large rugs on the floor. We need a way to turn the camera on and off remotely and I am lookin for a solution.
Thank you.

I have at least one Canon remote that I've used with my 7D's. Unfortunately, I don't have it with me, because today's shoot doesn't require it. So I can't give you the model number. (Models come and go anyway.) It has a shutter button that you can press halfway to activate auto-focussing, just like the button on the camera. But you do have to make sure that the camera has an IR sensor. On a Canon DSLR, look for it where the fingers of your right hand would cover it up; I think that's intentional, so that a spurious IR beam won't fire the shutter while you're taking hand-held shots. Also, check that the camera and the remote are compatible, e.g. that they agree on the frequencies of light that are to be used.

Is there a way to keep the screen from turning off

I would like a way to keep my screen from going to sleep while browsing. Sometimes I am still reading the current screen when it dims out. The browser I am hoping to replace with Firefox has this option. Is there a way (option or addon) to do this?

Not possible from within Firefox. You can check to see if your device has a 'Never' option for screen timeout under 'Display' settings in Android settings. I suspect not available though as that would be a hindrance towards battery lifetime.

Is there any way to turn the low battery warnings off for my Mighty Mouse?

I noticed a pop-up warning on start-up when my battery life reached two bars for my new wireless Mighty Mouse. Also the battery sign kept on flashing in my menu bar.
I was wondering if there was a way of turning these warnings off, save uninstalling the Apple software, or should I just change batteries and not worry about getting as much use as I can out of my current pair.
I've also turned off "show bluetooth status in menu bar" in mouse preferences but it keeps on turning on at startup and it doesn't seem to get rid of the low battery indicator flashing on and off in the menu anyway.
(And would turning off system events as a login item disable the startup warning?).
Thanks
Paul

Hello Paul:
My own experience is that when the warning pops up (regardless of the yellow bars), you need to change the batteries. In my case I use rechargeable 2500 mAh batteries and an Energizer recharger that charges AA and AAA batteries in 15 minutes.

Is there a way to turn the new iMac screen off while running a song?

I know the key command is shift control eject-- and it works-- but only for a few seconds. Does anybody know how to turn the screen off so that it will stay off for any serious period of time?
I used to do this in my g5 by just turning the monitor off. great to trick to ensure that i'm listening to a mix w/ my ears--- not my eyes.
thank you

Thank you for all the responses.
I've tried the black cloth. it's okay-- but i wind up have to attach something to the iMac--- and my clients are very sensitive to the things look here. i think it's petty-- but whatever. Also-- i have to constantly be taking it on/off as i make ajustments.
As far as turning around goes-- this is okay. I've tried it. the thing is-- your the way your ears receive sound-- is significantly different when you turn around. not drastically-- but again-- i'm talking about slight adjustments anyhow. any little difference can throw things off.
And the idea of a screen saver-- well-- here's the thing: when i'm trying to think only of music-- i don't even want to have to look at a computer screen. Imagine if you owned a nice pioneer 1970's stereo receiver and killer set of speakers. But everytime you were listening to it-- you had to look at a some sort of computer image. just not that pleasant.
comfort is pretty important to me at this point and that's kind of the whole goal. to still sit where i sit, look where i look, but not have to see a lit display on a computer screen.
i will try the hot corner thing.
thank you all for your responses.

Is there a way to download the other photo albums off of my iphone

About 2 months ago my computer crashed and i lost everything. including all my photos.
The photos stayed on my iphone and are still seperated into the albums that iphoto made but when i go to sync it with iphoto i can only import the photos i have taken with my camera not the other albums.
is there anyway to download the other albums off of my iphone so i can have those photos back?

When you installed Win 7, did you lose all other data on your computer in addition to your iTunes library and photos, or did you create a backup for other data beforehand which didn't include your iTunes library and photos stored on your computer's hard drive?
The iPhone is not designed nor intended to be a backup device and for many people, a 16GB iPhone does not store their entire iTunes library. Even if you transfer all photos available on your computer to your iPhone, all photos are optimized for viewing on your iPhone, so if Apple did support transferring these photos in the opposite direction, the original resolution of these photos would be lost.

Is there a way to schedule the screensaver to turn off or on automatically?

Greetings, folks,
I have rotating firewire hardrive backups scheduled via Dantz Retrospect on my iMac G4 for all of my computers in the house. Obviously these backups utilize quite a bit of CPU power, around 90-96% on average. A problem I have is that the backup will suspend if another high CPU process starts like, the screensaver for instance. Dantz say that this is typical and to disable the screensaver when performing backups to avoid this. But if I'm not home when these backups take place then I have a problem; I also don't want to not have the screensaver turned off all of the time. Here's my question; Is it possible to schedule the automatic turning on and off of the screensaver via automator or applescript? Cheers in advance for any help.
Cheers,

A couple of things. The ScreenSaver settings are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost. You'll have to determine which one of those is the one containing the idleTime parameter. On my machine, using the Terminal app command:
defaults read /Users/baltwo/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.003065aba550 yields:
idleTime = 900;
lastPictureDirectoryChosen = "/Users/baltwo/Library/Screen Savers";
moduleName = Cosmos;
modulePath = "/System/Library/Screen Savers/Cosmos.slideSaver";
Change it with this command:
defaults write /Users/baltwo/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.003065aba550 idleTime 1800, for example, changing it from 15 minutes to 30 minutes.
Setting it up for your situation is left as an exercise since I don't know how long your backups take or when you schedule them. The Applescript command would be something like:
do shell script "defaults write /Users/baltwo/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.003065aba550 idleTime 1800"

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export. TX

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export with this script in photoshop For MAC:
Chris Cox wrote:
The file extensions are written by the export plugin. (which incidentally has a comment that two studios wanted all caps extensions, but I failed to write down which ones in the comments)
To change the filenames, you'd want to add something at the end of doExportLUTs() that uses the supplied path and substitutes the desired extensions, then renames the file.
Thank you

Have fun

IS THERE A WAY OF INCREASING THE VOLUME ON A USB DOWNLOADED WITH I TUNES? WHEN I PLAY MUSIC FROM IT IN MY BMW IT IS NOT VERY LOUD.

IS THERE A WAY OF INCREASING THE VOLUME ON A THUMB DRIVE DOWNLOADED WITH ITUNES MUSIC? WHEN PLAYBACK ON BMW RADIO, EVEN WITH THE RADIO VOLUME AT MAX, MUSIC IS NOT VERY LOUD.

Can't answer the query, since I don't use thumb drives and my volume's very responsive. That said, please don't post using ALL CAPS. That's considered shouting and is very disconcerting.

I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter. She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters. Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter. She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters. Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

There is no way for the keyboard itself to display only lower case letters. It doesn't display lower case letters at all for that matter.
When you are using the keyboard - The other issue that you will have is with the shift key. Even with auto caps turned off you can still type capital letters if you tap the shift key and if you double tap it by mistake - it will turn into all capital letters so also turn off Caps Lock in the keyboard settings.
Other than that, there is no way to ensure that you can type in lower case.
Maybe an external bluetooth keyboard would be a better solution but I don't use one, and I have never even seen one in person so someone else will have to verify that for you.

Is there a way to format text case in the response table fields? Also, is there a way to change the

I am trying to do two things in a response table for a form. First, i would like to know if I am able to use a function to auto convert the populated text to either proper or upper case as needed. Second, is there a way to rearrange the column order in the response table?

Hi;
You can use the "UPPER" formula from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/formscentral/help/formula-syntax-built-in-functions.htm l
I think you'd insert/add a new column adjacent the one you want to convert, let's say you want to convert the responses in column "J" so you insert a colulmn to the right "K", in cell "K1" you'd put "=UPPER(J1)" and when you hit "Enter" column K would be populated with the data from the cells in column J in all caps. You could then hide column J to keep the form cleaner and all new responses would be reflected in all caps in the new column K.

I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar. When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year. The photo calendar is almost complete. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

Hi,
If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.
Best wishes

Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Is there a way of stopping the battery from charging?

Dear Apple Community,
Recently I installed iStat Menus and found that, over the course of this year, my Macbook's charging capacity has dropped 5%. I know this isn't a massive number, but battery performance has become a concern for me. I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, on the main. It's sitting on a mStand, connected to a large monitor on my desk. I use my Macbook to play games, surf the internet, do work and all that good stuff - basically, I use it for everything. I rarely use the Macbook without it being plugged in. I read on the Apple website that they do not recommend leaving the Macbook on charge permanently and that I should use it on battery at least one a month. As I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, I don't actually have a lot of opportunity to do this.
My question to you, the community, is: is there a way of stopping the battery from charging, either with the use of an app or a physical device? Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
On the other hand, am I just worrying about nothing? Will my battery be damaged further if I leave the Macbook charging permanently?
Thanks for your help!
Jeremy Reid

Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
The charging characteristics are handled in firmware. There is no app that would be able to do this. You actually would not want to do this anyway. Regularly discharging your battery to 10% will greatly decrease the life of your battery. While it is true that you should not use your system exclusively plugged in, allowing it to run on battery a few hours a week should be fine. Letting the battery regularly run down to (or below) 10% will cause you to use up cycles more quickly than is necessary (thereby reducing the life of your battery). It's really a only a matter of disconnecting your Magsafe connector once in a while.
Leaving it plugged in does not result in it being charged "permanently". It will charge until it is full and then charging will stop. It will only begin recharging when it reaches about 95%.
