Is there a way to turn my notifications off while on a telephone call?

Is there a way to temporary in off notifications while on a call? I do not want to turn if off completely just while on the phone. It's a bit irritating and distracting during business calls.

Use the mute switch. It's the slider just above the volume buttons.

Firefox ignores synthetic Key-clicks. Is there a way to turn this feature off

Hi,
I want to send synthetic key presses to Firefox in Xubuntu using "xdotool key "f11" or something similar. However, firefox ignores all synthetic keys when it is running. Is there a way to turn that feature off?
I have looking through About:config but did not see anything that would help.
Thank you.

Hello AshCox,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
You can use information from the following article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
Specifically from the section "If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices". #2 says "Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive>You Can Be Reached by iMessage At and make sure that you select each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage." This same thing works in reverse, if you are receiving iMessages on a device and you don't want to, just unselect the phone number and email address you no longer want to use.

I have my TC in my Bedroom, So the light can be bright. Is there any way to turn the light off?

The light cannot be turned off, but if you stop by at the office supply store and get a sheet of small 1/2" white routnd labels, you can place a few over the light to dim it significantly. Add more labels as needed to adjust for the brightness level you want to achieve.
Of course, you could use a piece of tape, but the white labels look much nicer and won't be noticeable once you get 4-5 feet away from the device.

nope. If your under warranty apple will cover it. If not find a repair shop. You can try looking for an app but if it turns off then you cant turn it back on!

Is there any way to turn an iPhone off without pushing the power button (it's broken)?

Power button on my 4s is broken. Is there any way to power the phone off besides the power button / slider shut down combination?

Assistive Touch, tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. If you touch and hold Lock Screen you will get the "slide to power off". This will turn OFF iphone. To turn iPhone ON, connect with USB cable to power, charger or USB of computer.

Is there a way to turn bluetooth on/off with one click

I'd like to be able to turn bluetooth on and off directly from my home screen, instead of going thorugh settings>general>bluetooth>on/ff>pair device procudure. Is there a way to do that? If not, apple should definitely add it to iOS5, because bluetooth is such a battery, it would be nice to turn it off with one-click.

Is there a way to turn the iPad off without using the power button?

I have the new iPad air.
LOVE IT!
One thing though...I have a folio style cover on it, magnet closure = power off.
The case does not allow for power button access, and there are times when I wish for a way to power it off without closing that cover.
Does anybody know if there is a gesture that can power it off?
If, not, needs to be one.
Or, perhaps, a desktop "button" that can do that too. It would probably be an app.
So, there's my question, thanks for any reply anybody can make on this!

Completely power off? no. But it will automatically to go sleep after a period of time. You can set the period of time, 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes or never. in 'settings, general, autolock'
Really, you don't need to totally power it down during its normal use. Mine just goes to sleep all the time and works just fine.

Is there a way to turn 'passcode on immediately' while also using the fingerprint sensor?

If I turn my fingerprint sensor on in the new iPhone 5s to use as the passcode, it requires it to be used immediately after locking. I would like to change this to 1 minute but there aren't any other options when the fingerprint sensor is on. Is there a fix to this?

i am wondering the same thing. Also there should be an option where you ONLY have the fingerprint unlock instead of also having the numerical password when sliding phone.

Is there a way to turn PS alerts off ? Java Script solution needed

Hi all,
We run in to the same problem over and over again.
In one of the JavaScript steps we use, PS is giving an alert "no pixels selected". That's what we want on purpose but it's confusing our users quite a bit since they don't know that is is what we want (no pixels selected, but not accompanied by the PS alert).
I know you can check the box within that alert dialog, that it should not be shown again in the future. That would mean, that we have to inform all the users to do so by hand once. That is not really sleek.....
There must be a JavaScript command / function to switch PS Alerts of. Since you can check a check box, there must be a place where this information is stored and can be altered.
Anyone knowing more about it?
thx,
Andrash

If you do a forum search I think you will find there is not a way to negate this particular dialog? A similar post about 15ish down…

Sometimes when I roll the cursor across a bookmark, my browser jumps to that web page without me clicking on it. Is there any way to turn this function off?

On occasion I will roll my cursor across a bookmark and my browser will take me to that web page without me clicking on it. I've been unable to detect a pattern; it seems to happen randomly. Can someone explain why this is happening? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I can change to prevent this from happening? And if so, can I be given instructions how to do that?

this should not be happening, maybe one of your addons is interfering?! - can you try running firefox in safemode or with all extensions disabled for a while and see if this behaviour is still there...

Is there a way to turn off using ram as intermediary when transfering files between 2 internal hdds? (write cache is off on all drives)

right forum? first time here. none of the options seem perfect. so i guess this applies to 'setup.' i tried to describe what's happening verbosely from the start of a file transfer to completion of writing file to 2nd hard drive.
win 7 64bit home - i2600k 3.4ghz - 8gb of ram - 2hdd 1 ssd
I have this problem when transferring files between 2 internal hard drives. one is unhealthy (slow write speeds but not looking for advice to replace it because it serves its unimportant purpose). so, the unhealthy drive drops into PIO mode - that's acceptable.
however, a little over 1gb of any file transfer is cached in RAM during the file transfer. after the file transfer window closes, indicating the transfer is "complete" (HA!), it still has 1gb to write from RAM which takes about 30minutes. This would
not be a problem if it did not also earmark an additional 5gb of ram (never in use), leaving 1gb or less 'free' for programs. this needlessly causes my pc to be sluggish - moreso than a typical file transfer file between 2 healthy drives. i have windows write
caching turned off on all drives. so this is a different setting i can't figure out nor find after 2 hours of google searches.
info from taskmanager and resource monitor.
idle estimates: total 8175, cached 532, available 7218, free 6771 and the graph in taskman shows about 1gb memory in use.
at the start of a file transfer: 8175, 2661, 6070, 4511free and ~2gb of ram used in graph. No problems, yet.
however, as the transfer goes on, the free ram value drops to less than 1gb (1gb normal +1gb temporary transfer cache +5gb of unused earmarked space = ~7gb), cached value increases, but the amount of used ram remains relatively unchanged (2gb
during transfer and slowly drops to idle values as remaining bits are written to the 2nd hard drive). the free value is even slower to return to idle norms after the transfer completes writing data to 2nd hard drive from RAM. so, it's earmarking an addition
5gb of ram that are completely unused during this process. *****This is my problem*****
Is there any way to turn this function off or limit its maximum size. in addition to sluggishness, it poses risk to data integrity from system errors/power loss, and it's difficult to discern the actual time of transfer completion, which makes it difficult
to know when it's safe to shutdown my pc (any data left in ram is lost, and the file transfer is ruined - as of now i have to use resmon and look through what's writing to disk2 -> sometimes easy to forget about it when the transfer window closed 20-30minutes
ago and the file is still in the process of writing to the 2nd disk).
Any solution would be nice, and a little extra info like whether it can be applied to only 1 hard drive would be excellent.

Thanks for the reply.
(Although i have an undergrad degeee in computers, it's been 15years and my vocab is terrible. so, i will try my best. keep an open mind. it's not my occupation, so i rarely have to communicate ideas regarding PCs)
It operates the same way regardless of the write-cache option being enabled. It's not using the 5gb for read/write buffer - it's merely bloating standby memory during the transfer process at a rate similar to the write speed of destination (for my situation).
at this point i don't expect a solution. i've tried to look through lists of known memory leaks but i dont have the vocabulary to be 100% certain this problem is not documented. as of now it can't affect many people - NAS's with low bandwidth networks, usb
attached storage etc. do bugs get forwarded from these forums? below i can outline the consistent and repeatable nature not only on my pc but on others' pcs as well (2012 forum post i found).
I've been testing and paying a little more attention and i can describe it better:
Just the Facts
Resmon Memory Info: "In Use" stays consistent ~1gb (idle amount and roughly the same when nothing else is running during file transfer)
"Modified" contains file transfer
data (meta data?) which remains consistent at little over 1gb (minor fluctuations due to working as a buffer). After the file transfer window closes "Modified" slowly diminishes as it finishes lazy writing (i believe that's the term). I forget idle
pc amount, but after transfer this is ony 58mb)
"Standby" as the transfer starts it immediately rises to ~2gb. I'm sure this initial jump is normal. However, it will bloat well over 5gb over time with a large enough transfer increasing at a consistent rate during the entire transfer
process. the crux of the matter.
"Free" will drop as far as 35-50megabytes over time.
as the transfer starts, the "Standby" increases by an immediate chunk then at a slow rate throughout entire transfer process(~1mb/s). once writing metadata to RAM no longer occurs, the "Modified" ram slowly (@500kb/s matching resmon disk
activity for that file write) diminishes as it finishes lazy writing, After file is 100% written to destination drive, "Standby" remains a bloated figure long after.
a 1.4gb transfer filled 3677MB of "Standby" by the time writing finished and modified ram cleared. after 20minutes, it's still bloated at 3696MB. after 30-40mins it's down to 2300mb - this is about what it jumps immediately to when transfer starts
- it now remains at this level until i reboot.
I notice the "standby" is available to programs. but they do not operate well. e.g. a 480p trailer on IMDB.com will stop-and-go every 2-3seconds (stream buffers fine/fast) - this would be during the worst case scenario of 35-50mb "Free"
ram. my pc isn't and never was the latest and greatest, but choppy video never happens even with 1 or 2 resource hogs running (video processing/encoding, games, etc).
Conjecture Below
i think it's a problem when one device is significantly slower at writing than the source device - this is the factor that i share with others having this problem. when data is written to modified ram then sent to destination, standby memory is expanded
until it completely or nearly fills all available RAM - If the transfer size is large enough relative to how slow the write speed of destination device is. otherwise it fills it up as much as the file size/write speed issue allows. the term "memory leak"
is used below but may not technically be one, but it's an apt description in layman's terms.
i saw a similar post in these forums (link at end). My problem is repeatable and consistent with others' reports. I wasn't sure if i should revive it with a reply. some of these online message boards (maybe not this one) are extremely picky
and sensitive, lol.the world will end if an old thread revives - even if for a good reason.
i can answer some of the ancillary issues. one person (Friday, September 21, 2012 8:33 PM) mentions not being able to shutdown, i asume he means stuck on the shutdown screen - this is because lazy writing has not completed - his nas write speed is significantly
slower than reading from source - the last bits of data left in ram still needs to be writen to the destination. shutdown will stall for as long as needed until the data finishes writing to destination to prevent data loss.
another person (Monday, September 24, 2012 6:31 PM) mentions the rate of the leak, but the rate is more likely a function of read speed from source relative to write speed of destination. which explains why my standby expands closer to a 1:1 ratio compared
to his 1:100 (he said 10mb per 1000mb)
we all have the same exact results/behaviour, but slightly different rates of bloating/leaking. as the file is written from from the ram to the destination, standby increases during this time - not a problem if read and write speeds are roughly equal (unless
your transfering a terabytes then i bet the problem could rear its head). when writing lags, it gives the opportunity for standby ram to bloat with no maximum except the amount of installed ram. slower the write speed, the worse the problem.
The reply on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 3:04 AM has before and after pictures of exactly what i described in
"Just the Facts". Specifically the resmon image showing the Memory Tab.
The kb2647452 hotfix seems to do some weird things relative to this problem. in the posts that mention they've applied it: after file completes it looks like the "standby" bloat is now "in use" bloat. as per info from Tuesday, October
09, 2012 10:36 PM - bobmtl in an earlier post applies the patch. compare images from earlier posts to his post on this date. seems like a worse problem. Also, his process list indicates it's very unlikely they add up to ~4gb as listed in the color coded bar.
wheres the extra gb's coming from? likely the same culprit of what filled up "standby" memory for me and others. it looks like this patch relative to this problem merely recategorizes the bloat - just changes the title it falls under.

Is there another way to turn phone off?

My mom has an iphone 4. The sleep/wake button is stuck so it will not let her turn the phone off. Is there another way to turn the phone off?
Thanks!

As far as I know, the power button is the only way to turn your iPhone on and off. There's no other way, softward or hardware other wise. You might want to go to an Apple Store if it really bothers you, but turning your device on and off drains a lot of battery - it's better to just let it sleep automatically (as iDevices do after a certain amount of time).

How can I turn ALL notifications off at once?

Before upgrading to iOS5, I could turn off ALL notifications with ONE swipe and all back on with one swipe... I do that when I go to sleep, because otherwise, my phone lighting up over & over wakes me up somestimes... and I don't want to be awakened by notifications. But when I am awake, I want the notifications.
But it looks like with the new iOS5, you have to turn EACH one off individually... then turn them all back on individually. PLEASE someone tell me I'm wrong, that I'm missing something somewhere. That is a MAJOR HASSLE!!!! There HAS to be a way to turn ALL notifications off and back on in ONE step... PLEASE!
If not, HOW can we BEG Apple to FIX this horrible mistake? Because if this feature is gone, that's a MASSIVE error on Apple's part!! WHY they would remove that option is beyond stupid! So I really hope someone can tell me I'm missing something... I've searched and checked all over, but I don't see any way to turn ALL off at once, then turn ALL back on at once. I don't want to spend 10-15 mins each night turning each one off... then 10-15 mins turning each one back on one at a time. Major pain!
So PLEASE tell me how to do this... or PLEASE Apple fix this!!

Yeah, it's even worse than I thought. I first turned off the Notification center on each app... STILL got notifications. So then I changed the alert style to "NONE" instead of alerts or banners. And last night I STILL got notifications!! OMG how difficult is it to turn these things off??? So now I ALSO turned off "Badge App Icon" figuring that MUST be it. Haven't gotten any yet, so I guess that's it.
But REALLY?? For EACH and EVERY app we have to do THREE STEPS??? Really SIX steps... 3 to turn off, and then 3 to turn back on!! ARE YOU KIDDING APPLE??
Whoever designed this part of the upgrade should be FIRED for being SO INSANELY STUPID!!! Why take something that was so simple and EASY to use and now make it more work, more difficult and all around ANNOYING!! This is the WORST thing about IOS5 so far for me... although with something this bad, I am sure there will be more bugs found! Guess I should have waited to upgrade! :-( But I thought your beta team would have figured out all the kinks & bugs BEFORE release! Guess not!
PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP and give us back a ONE step ON/OFF for ALL notifications!!!!!!!!!!!
