Is there any way to lock the HDMI display on one desktop?

Hello!
My Macbook Pro HDMI-connection to my TV works great -- the only thing I wasn't able to figure out is if it was possible to lock the HDMI display on one desktop. I use five different desktops (spaces) and I'm using extended desktop(s) for my HDMI, but every time I switch to another desktop, whatever I'm watching on my TV switches to the extended desktop for whatever space I just switched to, meaning that my TV switches to blank screens. Is there any way that, even if I continue switching through desktops on my computer, I can keep my HDMI locked on the extended space for "Desktop 1," for example?
Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

If you disable the "Change with buttons" setting, the buttons will still control the general volume (music, games, etc) but will NOT change the ringer or alarm sound settings (keyboard clicks also fall into this category but is not mentioned). This lets you use the volume up/down buttons to change the general volume level without changing the ringer and alarm volume levels...it keeps you from inadvertently turning down the ringer or alarm volume and missing calls and alarms.
That being said, there's no way to totally disable the volume up/down buttons from doing something volume related.

Is there any way to lock the Imessage setting on an Iphone so my Childred dont have access to my texts on my their Iphone?

This means you and your children are sharing the same Apple ID for iMessage.
You need to get your own Apple ID to be used for iMessage on your iPhone. You can continue using your existing Apple ID for iTunes store purchases.

Is there any way to lock the history, i want to see what my children have been looking at

is there any way to lock the history, my kids are deleting the history so i can't see where they've been

I have 15,000 songs and I have relocated them many times. You can right click/show in finder/explorer on a song in your itunes library to find out where they are (if you don't know). Go to their source folder and move them to an external HD manually. Then I suggest clearing all songs out of your itunes library (control - delete, or command - delete on a mac)(make sure you click "keep files" if it asks). Then dragging everything back in from the new location on the external HD. Just note you'll have to have that external hooked up any time you want to listen to your music.

When using an external (ergonomic mouse) is there any way to get the wheel to scroll one full page at a time?

When using an external (ergonomic mouse) is there any way to get the wheel to scroll one full page at a time? Much appreciated.

I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

Is there any way to lock the controls on the iPhone?

I need to figure out a way to let my 2-year-old watch Blue's Clues on my phone without him being to interfere with the play back. If it can't be done with a setting on the phone, is there a particular case that would work?

Sorry, not possible. Any case that would block the controls, would of course block the screen, since the screen is one big control.

Is there any way to lock the volume on my imac?

My Daughter has autism and has found much joy in her i mac. She likes to play music from i tunes at full blast, even at 4 am. I don't want to take it away from her because it calms her but she is waking up her siblings. I already took the icon off the top and altered the keyboard but she found the control under preferences

Some bad news here. I just checked and there is no lock for the sound preference pane. You might want to file a request for this feature to Apple. Explain your situation to them and suggest they add a lock for the volume. I am assuming that you have created a separate account for her that does not have administrator access.
You might try plugging in a set of external speakers, preferrably something so small that the volume doesn't get very high, and/or with the volume button removed/disabled. As long as she doesn't figure out how to unplug them, it would solve your problem.

Any way to lock the dock?

Is there any way to lock the dock so it can't be changed? Every so often one of my kids drags an icon from the dock and I have to add it again.

and here is an apple script to toggle the lock on Dock on/off. Paste it into Script Editor and save it as an application.
<pre style="

margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;

try
set x to do shell script "defaults read com.apple.dock contents-immutable"
if (x is equal to "0") then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true; sleep 1; killall Dock"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool false; sleep 1; killall Dock"
end if
on error
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true; sleep 1; killall Dock"
end try

Is there a way to lock the folder arrangement in Apple Mail?

My Mother-In-Law has Retinitis and is not able to see well. Every now and then she'll accidentally drag a folder into another in the Folder List.
Is there any way to lock the arrangement of the folders so she can't drop a folder into another, or into the trash?
I'm unable to find anything in the settings or menus.

Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

Not really. You can hide an app in restrictions, but iPad is a single user device, so there is no real way to lock an active app from others if you let them use your iPad.

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!

If you turn OFF multi-taskng, your toddler won't be able to "swipe" between Apps.
I don't know of any way to disable the "Home" button though.

Is there a way to lock the phone's touch screen during a phone call?

I just purhased my iPhone and I noticed that during a phone call I may accidentally tap Mute or Speakerphone with my cheak, depending on which hand I hold the phone in. Also when I hand the phone over to someone they may accidentally tap a button, and in the worst scenerios they will accidentally end the call.
Is there a way to lock the screen or something to prevent any of the above from occuring?

Their currently isent a way to disable the buttons but what you can do is click the home button during a call after pressing loud speaker and that will separate you from the call options and take you to the home screen and on the top it will have say call active and you can click that to renter the call note the call will still be active but when you hold it next to your face the screen should temporally go dark. Steve jobs was the one who came up with when the top sensor is active the screen will go dark and disable on screen button pressing when it is press against your face

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?
