Is there any way to not create the hidden 'dot' files when copying to a USB

I am moving photos to a USB device for use in a digital picture frame. The problem arises that 'dot' files are also created on the USB device and the digital frame chokes on them. I actually have to take the device to a <egad> Windows system to delete all of the 'dot' files so that the photo frame works correctly. So.. in a word, I would like to perform a copy to the USB device and tell the OS to not generate the 'dot' files. Any ideas? Thanks

Try Folder Cleaner - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox?

Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox? Ever since I updated, my firefox browser has been crashing almost every day and it always says that the plugin container crashed, but the rest of firefox freezes up as well, so I am forced to end the process itself.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default in Firefox 3.6.6)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)

Is there any way to not show the device password on start-up?

The device is set to automatically show its password on start up. Is there any way to hide the password so it does not show?

I agree with you on this one. If they would just have an option that when you touch none interactive section maybe just the home button appears.
I rarely use that navigation system and the people that I have tested ralley know what to do when it pops up. If the page number came up instead of a slider, I think people would get it. Plus instead of icons have text. Table of content, home, back.

Is there any way to not have the Inspector open by default every time?

I'm tired of opening a Pages '13 document and having to ⌥⌘i every single time. I like the inspector, but most of the time I want it gone so I can focus on the documents I'm reading. Is there a way to do this?

You posted with a Tag saying you were using iWork for iCloud on Mac OSX 10.7.5.
Are you sure you only have Pages 5, because if you migrated from your old System, Pages '09 should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
The plain and simple truth is you are not going to make a silk purse out a Sow's Pages 5.
No matter how hard you try.
I give solutions to Pages 5 where they exist but don't have the pixie dust to make it happen if it doesn't.

HT5295 Is there any way to not use the Podcast App and still listen to podcasts? This app is a substantial downgrade to listening through the music player.

The Podcast App is terrible. It can't seem to keep track to what has or has not been listened to, it randomly restarts after pauses. I never had to use the App until this last upgrade and now I'm forced to. I would like to go back to listening to podcasts through the music player. Is that possible?

Any way to not have the albums sh

Is there any way to not have the albums show up when selecting AND playing a song?
Thanks.

Just thought i'd mention that you can do this much more easily by using a program like mp3Tag (free) where you can batch rename file tags. In other words, you can select all your files and change all the albums to blank or whatever you want in one process. take care

Is there any way to turn off the ical feature whereby someone emails you a meeting date/time and it automatically goes on your iCal?

Is there any way to turn off the iCal feature whereby when someone emails you a meeting date/time and it automatically appears on your calendar? Once there they can't even be edited or deleted.

Greetings,
What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
You should be able to delete events in iCal as long as they are not from a "Subscription" calendar. Subscriptions show up on the left hand side of iCal under the "Subscription" category if you have any.
You can tell iCal to not check your mail program for invites by going and unchecking the box found in iCal > Preferences > Advanced > "Automatically retrieve..."
Hope that helps!

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

I have just signed upfor family sharing. Is there any way you can get the same app on two devices but not have to share it? My sons both want clash of clans but they don't want to be on the same village and they can't both be on app at the same time?

hi, the app is not "shared", it works as if you bought the app twice with different accounts, only you paid it once. they should have 2 different villages since they're on 2 different devices.

Hello cgbuehling
You can, but only the purchases that were made from the iTunes Store. Other content that was imported from a CD or other sources will not transfer over.

Is there any way to swap out the 'Widget Note' icon or have it triggered?

Hi,
Is there any way to swap out the 'Widget Note' icon?
Not only is it bad artwork, I have a cool custom button that I wanted to bring up the Note widget. Also, when I put the Note Widget on top of my custom button, it blocks the button's glow for the mouse over state, wven when I choose the option of making the widget transparent.
Any way my custom button could trigger the Widget Note to launch?
Any help would be much appreciated.
cheers

Hi digitalnoob
To use your custom icon image instead of default Note icon, you would have placed your image on top of the "transparent" widget.
To make these objects available on click of some button:
Group these two objects.
Make this group invisible in output.
Add the button which should trigger this widget.
On the button, set the action to Show this group.
To hide this group on 2nd click you need to use some advanced action and variables. Else, you can have a different button to hide this group.

My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them? They stole my external harddrive too so unfortunately if i lose these, i have no way to get them back?

What randers4 said. HOWEVER, if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the iPhone what you recover will not be as high a resolution as the originals.

Buy an iTunes card with your Apple card.
