Is there any way to eliminate the locked file function in iWork apps?

Hi, I recently added Lion to my Mac. Is there any way to eliminate the "locked file" function. I do not use iCloud or Time Machine on my Mac. Thanks. Bob

I don't use Time Machine either but the option for this function is in the Time Machine options.
Open System Preferences > Time Machine
Click 'Options'
The bottom option should be about auto-saving. To stop applications from locking documents, uncheck the box. To extend the peiod before the document is locked, select the appropriate time from the drop-down menu.
Hope that;s what you wanted!

    Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email?
    I'm making the book for children and there is one chapter providing coloring pages. So I wish to attach pdf files that allow users to download it at the end of chapter so that  they can print it out. Been searching through discussion, I've found some advice about taking screen snapshot page-by-page > then send the pics from photo album to email. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that make the process easier.

    Warehouse that PDF on your own server, then link to it from your book.

  • I have written a binary file with a specific header format in LABVIEW 8.6 and tried to Read the same Data File, Using LABVIEW 7.1.Here i Found some difficulty.Is there any way to Read the Data File(of LABVIEW 8.6), Using LABVIEW 7.1?

    I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
    What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
    Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?

  • Is there any way to import the PST file to Thunderbird

    My boss used Outlook 2010 to store all his emails. Is there any way to import the PST file to Thunderbird so he can access them from a new computer?
    Thunderbird cannot be installed on the old computer and Outlook is not on the new computer. All information is saved in a PST file on our local backup.
    Alternatively, is there a way to convert to a file type that CAN be imported? This is a 5GB file. (I know, I KNOW, but I cannot convince him he doesn't need all of these emails.)

    Does he use an e-mail provider with sufficient mailbox space? In that case, you can move the e-mail back to the server and download it using Thunderbird.
    This only works when you configure the e-mail account with IMAP (not POP3).
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to remove the .lock file programmatically?

    I'm creating a web app with NetBeans, Tomcat and the H2 Database Engine and am having troubles with database errors that seem to be caused by the .lock file existing in the directory where I am storing the database.
    Is there a way to programmatically remove the .lock file? I like for the database to be locked only when it is being accessed by either of two different servers, but so far am having trouble with only one server running.
    I have tried calling the close() method from the class that calls my database class when it is done with it, but it is creating an exception stating that the database is already open and tells me to close it. That's what I was trying to do!

    Are you closing it this way [http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0/guide/running-chapt.html#running_closing-sect]? And why are you worried about this? If two servers are going to connect, you should be running in HSQL "server" mode [http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0/guide/running-chapt.html#running_modes-sect]. You can erase the lock file using java.io.File. But IMO, the fact you want to do this indicates you are not using the right database mode.
    - SaishI started out using HSQLDB, but it was giving me problems when I was trying to add data to my database, so I switched to H2 (as stated above) and it was able to add as much data as I could throw at it without any issues. My problem is that while debugging with NetBeans I occasionally get exceptions from H2 (through JDBC) that the database is locked and access was denied.
    I would like to be able to only have the database "open" when I'm actively querying it or manipulating it.

  • Is there any way to reverse the "swipe to switch between fullscreen apps" controls?

    I feel like the "swipe left to go to the app to the left" is actually counter-intuitive, especially when they were thinking about a touchscreen when designing this OS. The scrolling, though most people aren't used to it on a computer, makes sense because you move the page in the direction as if you were moving a physical page. The switching between fullscreen apps is the opposite and isn't natural for me, especially since I have been using an iPhone and iPad for a couple years now. Is there any way of reversing this control? If not, I think they should do the same thing that they did with the "natural" scrolling and have a checkbox to give you the option of either way.

    I didn't see anything in the trackpad preferences as far as direction of the swipe. If anyone else can find it, I would love to be able to reverse it.

  • Is there any way to disable the mouse-over function of the Spry Menu Bar (CS5)? Click-open preferred

    Hello,
    I'm using the standard CS5 Spry Menu Bar (Horizontal) in Dreamweaver. I have it set up exactly the way I want with CSS. However, I've very little experience with Javascript, consequently I'd like to ask anyone here for some help in modifying this aspect of the Spry Menu Bar. I'd like it to 'click-open' and not open when the mouse is over it. I've tried to change the delay variables in the code to something that has a longer duration in milliseconds; unfortunately, this tends to cause some bugs such as the menu re-opening once the mouse is no longer near it and other such bugs.
    The ideal solution for me would be to have it open when it's clicked on once. The reason I need this is because the menu appears over some buttons - there's no way around this for me, it's the layout I absolutely must have. Although the buttons don't overlap with the menu, they are very close and it is annoying when your hand slips a little and the menu pops up over it all.
    I'd appreciate any help at all, thank you.
    PS:- The Javascript containing the delay variables I tried to modify.
    Spry.Widget.MenuBar.prototype.init = function(element, opts)
        this.element = this.getElement(element);
        // represents the current (sub)menu we are operating on
        this.currMenu = null;
        this.showDelay = 250;
        this.hideDelay = 600;
        if(typeof document.getElementById == 'undefined' || (navigator.vendor == 'Apple Computer, Inc.' && typeof window.XMLHttpRequest == 'undefined') || (Spry.is.ie && typeof document.uniqueID == 'undefined'))
            // bail on older unsupported browsers
            return;
        // Fix IE6 CSS images flicker
        if (Spry.is.ie && Spry.is.version < 7){
            try {
                document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true);
            } catch(err) {}

    Your solution goes one step further and eliminates the need to search through the Javascript for the relevant code.

  • Is there any way to know the battery strength without 3rd party app?

    Is there a way to do this without installing an app? Most reviews of such apps question the accuracy of their readings.
    How does one know the "actual" battery strength as the OS inderstands it to be(besides looking at the tiny icon on the top right of the screen)?

    How does one know the "actual" battery strength as the OS inderstands it to be
    You can't! Desktop Macs may try to 'count the electrons in and the electrons out' to determine the state of charge. It doesn't appear the touch does; many times I will get the Red 20% charge warning and then when I later turn the touch on the battery is still Green. This leads me to believe that the touch battery monitor simply looks at the voltage under load.

  • Is there any way to control the volume on my Apple TV?

    Here's the scenario: I have a small amplifier under my couch that controls the speakers connected to my Apple TV. When I use Airplay from my iPhone to listen to music, I'm able to control the volume right from the music App on my phone- this is perfect because I don't like to reach under the couch to change the volume. However, there are two scenarios when I cannot seem to adjust the volume anywhere except on the amp. These are:
    First: Using Airplay while playing a video from my MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. In this case, the volume slider in iTunes suddenly has a little lock icon on it and is unadjustable. Is there any way to unlock the volume?
    Second: When using the Apple TV directly to play any media- music or movies. The volume up and down buttons on the Apple TV don't control the volume. I'm forced to reach under the couch to adjust the volume- which happens quite frequently. Is there any way to control the output volume of the Apple TV?
    The lack of volume control has been super disappointing. I've been a (multiple) airport express user for years so kind of expected Airplay to work the same for video- with the ability to control the volume from whatever device was transmitting. Can anyone help me?

    Andrew- this is how I would expect things to work. However, when I use airplay from my iPhone to say, play a youtube video, the volume on the phone is suddenly rendered useless and I'm forced to adjust the amplifier. When I just play audio from the phone, the volume works.
    It's the same on my macbook pro. If I mirror the screen, my computer's volume affects the speakers volume. However, if I am in itunes and play a movie and use airplay for that, I get a lock on the volume. Is this a setting somewhere?
