Is there any way to stop running applications from showing in the dock

MacUpdate.com for OnyX or TinkerTool, one of those has the ability to lock the Dock so no changes occur, basically giving you what you want.

  • Is there any way to stop an app from updating?  I accidently hit update all, and have an app I don't want updated.

    Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit "update all" and have an app i don't want updated.  Thanks

    you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
    What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

  • Is there any ways to stop Quicktime player from occupying audio hardware?

    Hi, my PC system is Window XP Pro SP2, HP xw8400 Workstation w/ 2G Ram. And the PC has a Digidesign Pro Tools HD 1 audio system installed.
    My problem is that after Quicktime player lauches, it will occupy the Pro Tools HD's hardware. And if I want to start Pro Tools software, "digidesign hardware is in use by another application." warning will occur and Pro Tools software will then quit. BTW, Digidesign's audio driver is not multi-clients compatible.
    I have set Quicktime player's audio playback device to PC motherboard's audio device, and system's audio device is also motherboard's audio device, I even have checked the "use default device only" option. I can't understand why Quicktime player still occupies Digidesign's hardware, even it plays back audio through motherboard's audio device.
    Though I can quite Quicktime player before lauching Pro Tools software, I still feel it's annoying and inconvenient, and want to know some ways to solve this problem.
    Anyone can help? Thanks in advance. I have asked for help in Digidesign's offcial forum, no response.
    BTW, the Quicktime player version on my system is 7.6.5, and each time Quicktime player launches, the sample rate led on the Digidesign's audio interface will flash, indicating that QT player is accessing Digidesign's hardware.

    I have a Blue Ant Q2 Bluetooth headset. When it's paired, is there any way to stop all audio from streaming to it? I want to hear the iPad "ring" so I don't have to have the earpiece in my ear all day, or be able to play audio through the speakers instead of the earpiece. I feel like I'm missing something simple.
    You are missing something simple but lets get it to stop as you want. Go to Settings/General/Bluetooth turn it off.

  • We have two iPod touch 2nd generations, one had to be restored a few days ago and is now not able to have some of the apps back on it saying that they are incompatible with the iPod. Is there any way to "copy" the apps from 1 to the other??

    Is there any way to get an older version of the app that can be compatible or to "copy" the app from one iPod to the other?
    Or maybe to update the opperating system??

    you can by downloading iTunes to your computer/laptop but before plugging it in to the computer make sure all of your apps are on it then just sync the restored iPod to your computer and all of the apps on the computer will go to your iPod.. Good Luck

  • On my iPad 3 is there any way to stop the pictures from flipping 180 when saved?

    When I take pictures with my iPad, when the pictures save they always flip to the opposite side. Like a mirror image. I am wondering if there was anything I can do to fix this as it is extremely annoying!

    Yes the calendar is gone. I guess it is the notification center I am referring to that comes down when I accidently swipe the top of the screen. Is there a way to stop of notification center from coming down if you swipe the screen? I figured out how to stop the control center from coming up if you swipe the bottom on the screen. Now I just need to figure out how to stop the top of the screen from doing the same thing

  • Is there any way to remove clock app from ipad

    Help I need to remove the new clock application that comes with ios6 from my ipad.
    I am a special education teacher and I have a student who is fixated on the clock and timer and always finds it no matter where I hide it.
    I cannot block it with the controls. Any ideas???

    hehe
    No the clock is now a pre-installed app. You cannot remove pre-installed apps.
    Apps- I dont think there are any to block pre-installed apps(95% sure). Someone else might know a work around, but removing is a no. Sorry

  • Is there any way to remove an app from iTunes?

    I cannot figure out how to delete my downloaded iPhone apps that appear in iTunes 11.3 running under 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro.
    I can remove them from my iPhone, which is good, but I went a little wild years ago trying out apps thinking I could delete the redundant ones once I had decided which ones I like.  Well, I've decided, but the whole discard pile is still cluttering up my iTunes window.  They also require lots of CPU time getting themselves updated.
    Deleting them forever must be simple, but I've run through my gamut of ideas (hitting my keyboard's Delete button, and searching the pull-down menus) with no joy, so I though I'd ask:
    What's the trick?
    --Gil

    Ah-HA!  I knew there had to be a way!
    Not quite the same in 10.6, but close enough to find it:
    It's iTunes>apps, not iTunes>iPhone>apps.  I didn't realize there were different windows.
    Not double-click, but control-click.  Close enough.
    Easy-Peasy, now that you showed me how.
    Thanks, Barry.

  • Is there any way to stop the top from scrolling left in the iTunes store?

    The top part of the iTunes store...where it lists new stuff keeps swiping left.  It's driving me crazy!  How can I stop it?

    You can't . It is used as a carousel to display new items. If it annoys you then scroll down the window until it dissapears and you will have a static displays of new Music, Movies etc

  • Every time I turn my MBP on, a terminal window opens. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

    Whenever I boot my MPB up, a terminal window opens. It isn't really causing problems, just annoying. Is there any way to stop these windows from popping up?

    Open Accounts preferences, click on the Login Items tab. If you see the Terminal listed then select it and click on the Delete [-] button.

    Your are likely to find running two different AppleIDs on the same device to be more trouble than it is worth. Apps and content cannot be shared between IDs.

  • I am receiving my brothers imesssages on my MacBook, we share an iTunes account and an iCloud is there any way to stop his messages and add mine instead?

    I am recieving my brothers messages on my MacBook, we share an itunes account and an icloud account is there any way to stop his messages and add my own?

    Don't share the same ID for iMessage (you can still share the same ID for other things if you want).  On your iOS device, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then on your Mac, open the Messages app and go to Messages>Preferences>General, select your iMessage account, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • HT1531 is there any way to open powerpc apps?

    is there any way to install powerpc apps?
    and im using mac verison 10.7.3 not 10.5 lepard.

    Not in Lion. PPC applications are not supported by Lion. You can try upgrading them to versions that are designed to run on Intel Macs. You can look for Intel compatible alternatives. You can partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard on one partition that you can use to run PPC applications by installing the Rosetta emulator when you install Snow Leopard.
    Beyond this it's hard to assist because you did not state what PPC applications you want to run.

  • Is there a way to stop the OS from switching to a newly opened app?  I would like to be able to continue what I'm doing while I wait for an app to launch and not get interrupted by a forced entry into the app.

    Is there a way to stop the OS from switching to a newly opened app?  I would like to be able to continue what I'm doing while I wait for an app to launch and not get interrupted by a forced entry into the app.
    As an example, I'm going to my email in safari, while I wait for it to load, I open an excel document, and the OS decides excel should be the front app, so I go back to safari so I can enter my login info, but halfway through my password the OS decides that excel is where I should finish typing my password.
    VERY ANNOYING.  Can I open apps in the background?

    Thank you everyone for the suggestions. J D, I'm not a terminal fan, but I'm sure it works.  I found a solution that I can use in the dock from another post.

    Works great and allows me to maximize those multitasking minutes.
