Is there any way to prevent opening the lid from waking my MBP?
Hi,
I have a problem with my screen on my MBP such that when the computer is asleep in its case the lid often comes ajar, wakes the computer, and drains the battery. Is there any way to prevent the lid opening from waking the computer?
Thanks for any ideas on how to fix this.
Option 3: Open Applications > Terminal and type sudo pmset lidwake 0 (you'll be prompted to enter your admin password). To revert to wake on lid open, use the Terminal command sudo pmset lidwake 1.

Hi, haven't used iMovie in years. I shot some video with my cell phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S2). When I tried to make a movie, the clips I downloaded played back sideways on iMovie. Is there any way I an flip the video from horizontal to vertical? Thanks.
You actually want a vertical video??
What would you show that on?!
Rotating video or photos in iMovie 11:

In earlier versions of iMovie you can also do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
Window -> Show Movie Properties
select "Video Track"
select "Visual Settings" from lower window
check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
FILE -> Save
You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:

My itouch screen froze showing "plug to itunes" after trying to update to iOS6. It still can be turned on and off. But the screen froze showing that message. I perhaps need to restore it. But is there any ways to export all the pictures from it before restoring?
Only if y can get the iPod out of recovery mode with the program. Otherwise you will have to restore via iTunes which erases the iPod.

Is there any way to put all the music FROM my iPod back onto my computer? My school tech person not only wiped out my iTunes, the wiped out my back-up hard drive.
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.

Hi I hav a 2010 Mercedes E350 an lost my iPhone. I nw have an I phone 4s all my contacts are on the cars phone kit. Is there any way I can get the numbers from the phone kit onto my new iPhone.
If you were not syncing the contacts in your phone with a contact manager or cloud service, there is no way to get them from the car to the phone other than manually re-entering them in the phone.

HT1329 Is there any way I can get the music from my iPod to my new laptop?
So recently my computer broke, taking all of my music with it, and now I only have the music on my iPod. Is there any way I can take the music from my iPod and put it on my new laptop?
You can't transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your new computer's iTunes library. -
So all my tasks are nicely laid out in my SSIS Package. Now I want to go add a blurb to the Name to make it a little more descriptive. When I do that, Microsoft Visual Studio just automatically re-sizes the task so the entire description, name fits. When
I make it the right size, my scripting name is wrapping and that's the way I want it to look within my Package. Is there any way to stop Microsoft Visual Studio from automagically adjusting the size of my task when I click on the Name to edit?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.There is no way. The designer canvas received improvements in SSIS ver 2012, but this specific aspect remain unchanged.
What I do I simply use the Format -> Autolayout -> Diagram or you can also/instead Ctrl-A to select all and choose "make same size"

Is there any way to prevent non-root users from rebooting the system?
This question seems to be addressed many times on the web, but the problem is that none of the wannabe-howtos work on my system. In particular, this doesn't work and this doesn't work either, because (1) I need to keep policykit installed for udisks and other dependencies to function and (2) renaming (or removing) the file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy has (again) no effect on the users' ability to reboot and shut down the system. Even more surprisingly, adding the following to /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/20-disable-shutdown.rules has no effect at all:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.power-off" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.reboot" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.suspend" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.upower.suspend" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate"
return polkit.Result.NO;
As a result, ordinary users (not in the wheel group and with no special permissions) can simply reboot the machine by typing reboot. I remember that a simple polkit rule (as proposed on the Fedora forum) worked fine just a few months ago, but this doesn't work nowadays. The action IDs mentioned there are no longer listed in pkaction, so it's quite obvious that some changes (and bugs) have been introduced since then. I just need to prevent the users from rebooting the machine and to keep policykit installed. Is there any way to do this?karol wrote:Do said users have the ability to push the Power or Reset buttons?
No, they don't.
But come on, access permissions are a matter of principle rather than a matter of what you can possibly do with a hammer in your hand. That makes your question somewhat irrelevant to this issue. Imagine someone asking: "How can I protect my home directory from access by other users?" You would then probably ask: "Do said users have the ability to pull out the hard drive and mount it on their computer?"
Even if the users had physical access to the ACPI buttons, rebooting the computer by mistake (via software) would still be much more likely than pressing (or even holding) the ACPI buttons by mistake.
If I call rm -Rf / as a normal user, nothing should happen to the system in terms of availability to other users. Only my home directory and temporary files would vanish, but that's all. This is what permissions are there for. Similarly, when I type reboot as a normal user (no matter if I'm on SSH, on a local terminal or logged into KDE), it should be possible to simply disallow rebooting.
The idea that users logged in locally can restart the computer may be fine for laptops under certain conditions, but it is a bad idea in almost all other cases. In a "kiosk" type environment, for example, the ability to reboot and get to the bootloader can be a huge security hole, unless all your disks are encrypted, and a huge "reliability hole" in any case. Suppose you use a desktop as a home server. You want everyone to be able to log in and to connect a USB flash drive (using polkit and udisks). But you simply don't want the machine to be rebooted. Why is such a simple thing so hard to do?

Is there any way to prevent a wifi network from becoming known?
Hi,
I'm on mid 2010 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and I can't figure out a way to prevent a certain wifi network from becoming known. My college's network requires an in browser sign up every time and once the network becomes known it gives me an SSL error until I remove it from the list of known networks and refresh. Not too painful, but definitely something I'd like to fix. The only post I could find about this was from 2007, so I wanted to see if anything had changed. Any ideas?In Network Preferences > Airport > Advanced, do the following:
Delete the network from the saved list of wireless networks
UNcheck "Remember networks this computer has joined"
Also (and this is equally important), every time you join this particular network, be sure to UNcheck "Remember this network" in the sign-on dialog. -
Is there any way to hook into the TextModel from ICompositionStyle?
When creating a new custom attribute in IAttrReport there is the ability to hook into the ICompositionStyle interface. But I don't see any way from there to see which TextIndex it is composing. Does anyone know if it's possible?
Anybody any ideas? Should I be looking down the route of using my own pagination buttons and adding my code to this?
There seems to be a routine $a_report that I can use for the pagination but I am finding it difficult to get the current first and last record values that I would need to pass. I've seen references to below in the form but when I'm using partial refresh they do not seem to change.

I really don't want to lose all of the music I have on my ipod touch. It worked fine with my ipod and my old laptop but I got a new laptop and now it doesn't want to sync anything except purchases I made on the ipod and everything that was in the cloud. The rest of the music on my ipod is from old CDs and I am away from home. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some advice. I also don't really want to pay for a download that moves the music into itunes so if anything is free and safe that would be great or if there is a way to do it manually. Again thanks to anyone who has advice to share.
You would have to purchase a 3rd party program ( not supported by Apple).
The ipod is not a storage/backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer. -
Is there any way to speed up the printing from my Mac to my HP LaserJet?
I just bought an HP LaserJet Pro 400 M451dn and it works wonderfully and prints amazing quality but the only problem is it takes a VERY long time for my MacBook Pro to send the data to the printer. It's suppose to be up to 21ppm but I was literally getting 2ppm. Granted it was a rather detailed page I was printing, but 2ppm is still way to slow. Used the generic PCL driver printed way faster but only printed in Black and White.
Specifics
Mac OS X 10.7.5
HP LaserJet Pro 400 M541dn
USB connected (about 12 feet)
Downloaded lastest driver and firmware from HP's website
Tried generic PCL driver, prints waaaaaay faster but only in Black & White.
I download something called GutenPrint but I have no idea how to install. If thats a good option and someone has instructions I would greatly apreciate it.
I'm not a tech wiz, but I consider myself good with computers.
Thanks in advance!Gutenprint drivers are intended for non-laser printers. HP supplies the proper drivers, and you can download the latest version directly from HP's support site. Or you can install the most recent HP drivers provided by Apple.
Printing speeds do not include the time it may take to transfer data to the printer. It also doesn't take into account the time it takes for the printer to be prepared to start printing. Color is much slower than B/W.
Contact HP for any additional assistance you may need since these forums do not provide support for non-Apple products. -
