Is there any way to disable F14 and F15 brightness controls?

I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to disable the F14 and F15 brighness controls that appear to be built into the Apple OS? I calibrated my cinema display a couple of days ago and was supprised to find that I can still change the display brightness by just bumping the keyboard.
Thank you for any help that anyone can give me.

Unfortunately it does not seem possible to disable the brightness keys.
I found this Apple developer technote document.
on page 12 question #19 reads:
How do I disable the video brightness keys available on some keyboards?
Answer: There is currently no way to disable those keys.
send Apple Product Feedback requesting that feature.
good luck

When using an Apple TV, any new device that logs on immediately takes over the display. Is there any way to prevent this and maintain the control from a designated device?

I would like to designate a single device to control the Apple TV, but anytime another device enters and logs on it takes over the display and whatever is on that screne appears. Is there a way to set the Apple TV so this does not happen?

Glen beck is a conservative news commentator , he now has a tv Chanel broadcasted only by the Internet, is is GBTV I get it on ROKU. I cannot get that or FOX NEWS or CNET on my new apple TV. Love the new device with the exception of my missing networks. By the way, thanks for the remote advice it works great.

Auto correct is making me look like an idiot. I have to go back and psychically spell check my documents now. Is there any way to disable it?

Auto correct on my desktop Mac is making me look like an idiot. After I type it's changing words into other words I never typed and it even pushes words together that I'd typed a space in between in order to create new words that I never typed which make absolutley no sense.
Now after I type a document I have to go back and psychically spell check my entire document the old fashioned way to make sure auto-correct isn't making me look like a clown who can't spell.
Is there any way to disable "auto correct" on the desktop MAC and still keep spell check running?
The amount of messages I've sent out with horribly misspselled words or errrors as a result is maddening.
HELP!!!
Running OSX 10.9.1

I had turned off auto-correct in the keyboard preferences, but in Mail all my spelling and grammer choices were grayed out. The key for me — as Kingoftypos points out — was "For Mail, open a new message/reply/forward. Then go to the Edit menu and scroll down to the Spelling/Grammar."
It would never have occurred to me to open a new message to be able to change the settings.
Thanks, King

Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos on iweb?

Re: protecting photos when using iweb as your web designer...
Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos using iweb? I have seen tutorials about creating a text box around each image - but is there a better way?

However, there is no way you can prevent someone from making a screenshot of the image as it is displayed on the screen no matter what application you use to create the web page.
You can add a watermark to dissuade the casual "thief" but those who are serious about stealing the photo for their own use can remove the watermark with some effort.

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?

Is there any way to disable the use of the "Delete" key to delete an email message?

It's very frustrating when I hit the delete key and iCloud automatically erases the selected email message. I receive some HTML formatted emails that include a text box that I can utilize to directly reply to something. If I don't make any mistakes at all, I can utilize this box and post a reply. But if I mess up and need to delete text, instead of deleting text iCloud deletes the email message. Is there any way to disable this?
Thanks for your help.

I don't believe it's possible to disable the delete key, but could be wrong. However, if you delete an email in error, you can restore it by pressing cmd + Z to undo the deletion.

Is there any way to disable the firefox search option when you long press the home button on Samsung Galaxy S5 Active?

I have an S5 Active and sometimes the home button sticks and registers as a long press which brings up Firefox search instead of going to the home screen. Is there any way to disable Firefox Search so that this doesn't happen. I Love the Firefox browser but if this keeps happening I will have to uninstall it.

hello djpianalto, you could clear the default settings for firefox on android within the system settings (like described in this [http://www.howtogeek.com/195885/how-to-set-and-clear-a-default-app-on-an-android-device/ external article]).
or try an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hk.sld.SwipeLaunchDisabler

Is there any way to disable USB charging on N8?

It might be a strange question. But many time, my battery still nearly full and I just want to transfer a couple of files. When I plug the cable in, it start charging right away. This may makes battery deteriorate faster. Therefore, is there any way to disable USB charging? Thanks!

charging by usb isn't a problem , modern batteries do not suffer 'memory effect' just do what you want to do and don't worry about it . My N97 is connected to laptop most nights for anything from 10 minutes to an hour , no battery problem in 18 months and left on charge overnight every night . Enjoy your new phone and don't worry about a problem that doesn't exist

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!

Is there any way to disable keyboard shortcuts?

The number of times we've been doing a stream and someone has accidentily hit the spacebar and killed the stream is very anoying.
Is there any way to disable the keyboard shortcuts so this isn't an issue?
Many Thanks,
Ady

This might go into too much detail but I suspect since you're referring to a basic system function you're going to have to address this at a pretty basic level in the system operations which isn't always easy without major hacks.

Is there any way to disable the voice in atv2?

I find the voice that announces all content very annoying. Is there any way to disable it?

Go to the settings menu and find the accessibility options. You can turn off the VoiceOver feature.
Odd though as that is off by default.

Is there any way to disable runtime schema validation

At runtime Kodo appears to validate that all of the tables and columns
referenced in the mapping table exist in the datebase. Is there any way
to disable this. It takes an extremely long time for the validation to
complete and although it may be useful during certain stages of
development or to verify a new deployment it isn't really all that
desirable.
Thanks,
-Marc Sheftel

Thanks!
