K1 any way to disable the Home Button?

I hate this button! I am always hitting it by mistake. I can never remember if swiping up is for menu or swiping down is for back or what... I never use it... is there any way to disable it? The only slightly useful thing about it is the screen capture... but again, not used much... HELP!

Same here, the only reason I like the button for is for taking a screen shot.
Maybe something could be added to the settings to disable this button?

Is there a Way to lock apps or disable the home button?

I often allow my 16 month old to play toddler games on my iPhone. He knows how to slide his finger to unlock the phone and he loves pressing and holding the home button to activate Siri so he can talk to her! LOL! I am worried that he will accidently delete or move an app to another screen by accident so is there a way to prevent that from happening. Also while he plays his games, he likes to press the home button which closes him out of his game. Is there a way to disable the home button so he can just stay within his toddler games?

You can use Guide Access to restrict your child to using a single app. See:

ok my iphone 3g touch screen is not responding, i can recieve calls and it can charge and connect to itunes, but i cannot go any further than using the home button or the power button, it is only the slide feature and touch feature that has become non existent. Also, i have a f'ew cracks in my screen for a while now and it was running smoothly up until saturday when i sat on it applying large amounts of pressure to the phone screen. Is there a way i can fix this myself without having to recover my phone to factory settings or wasting 50 bucks to get it fixed??

Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library.
The thing is: I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality. It is so much more convenient and user friendly. Given the choice between having the display seperate from the processing, or having it be convenient and easy to work with, I choose the later option.
For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system.. I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
Possible or no?

Can you disable the home button?

My Ipod will close apps and go to the home screen for no reason. Can you disable the home button/function to prevent this from happening?

http://nealbo.hubpages.com/hub/Recalibrate-Unresponsive-iPhone-Home-Button
Step 1: Open a stock iPhone app. e.g. Apples Stocks, Weather, SMS, Email etc.
Step 2: Press and hold the power button until the swipe to power off screen appears.
Step 3: Let go of the iPhone's power button
Step 4: Press and hold the iPhone's home button. Do not let go until the power off screen disappears.
And that's it, your home button is recalibrated and should hopefully now be more responsive.
This seemed to make it better, but not fixed.

Is there any way to disable the expanding scroll bars in Mountain Lion?

Since I never scroll by dragging the scroll bars with the cursor, I find the expansion of the scroll bars to be a distracting and even productivity limiting feature. Is there any way to disable the expansion of the scroll bars (perhaps with a terminal command)? System Preferences doesn't have an option to switch this feature off as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks a lot in advance.

No!

Is there any way to disable the firefox search option when you long press the home button on Samsung Galaxy S5 Active?

I have an S5 Active and sometimes the home button sticks and registers as a long press which brings up Firefox search instead of going to the home screen. Is there any way to disable Firefox Search so that this doesn't happen. I Love the Firefox browser but if this keeps happening I will have to uninstall it.

hello djpianalto, you could clear the default settings for firefox on android within the system settings (like described in this [http://www.howtogeek.com/195885/how-to-set-and-clear-a-default-app-on-an-android-device/ external article]).

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.

Looking for a way to disable the "GET" button

I have a user who would like to only allow the progressive streaming playback in iTunes U (ie disable the get button). I haven't seen any way to do this in the docs but it's entirely likely I'm missing some simple (or not) way to do this.

You know, say after about, oh, six, seven beers I sometimes think, "Hey, I should write a book about iTunes U." It would be called something like "Deploying iTunes U" ... it wouldn't make any money (few tech books do) ... but it would win me loads of "wuv" (remember this is the beer talking). Then, of course, the next day rolls along and I realize how much work writing a book would actually be ... and then I think, "Crapspackle! ... how many beers did I have?"
But if I were to write that iTunes U book, Chapter 1 would be called "About iTunes U" (every tech book has to start this way ... "About XML", "About MySQL", "About TCP/IP" ... like that) ... and the last section in that chapter would be called "What iTunes U is not". The first few paragraphs in that section would read this way ...
iTunes U is not a streaming service. Sure, content displayed in iTunes U can be double-clicked and it will play ... in effect, content does stream. But while iTunes U can be made to stream content, you should not think of it as a generalized streaming service. The model for iTunes U is the iTunes Store. Think about why the iTunes Store succeeds. Podcasters do not stream ... people have been streaming since the mid-90s ... but podcasting took the world by storm. Why? Because content wasn't tethered to a network connection ... it became as portable as the iPod. This is the model you're buying into; this is the target you're aiming for.
Whenever faculty at my site make "But ... !!" arguments, they pretty much run along one of the following lines:
1. When I stream, students can't redistribute my content. I have control.
Any reasonably determined person can capture a stream and redistribute it -- it is not technically "hard" to do. If a student wants to get your content onto an iPod or a PSP, he/she can easily do so. Do not fool yourself into thinking it can't happen. Chance are, it already has.
2. I have copyrighted material in my content -- I can't afford for students to redistribute my content. I have to "know" that only students can get access to my content.
See response to Argument 1. In addition, I have found that many instructors have naive notions about what copyright permits and forbids (and please do not be offended if you, dear reader, are an instructor ... copyright is really complicated, it's not your fault). From a copyright standpoint, streaming is basically irrelevant (you are not "protected" if you stream).
At my university, we have a designated copyright authority. It is her job to know what's permitted and what's not for us. In any conversation with a faculty member about whether to stream or not, I always recast the question this way: "Are you allowed to use the material in a public way at all?" In every instance, I refer the questioning faculty member to our copyright expert for clarification.
3. I want to make sure my students are sitting at desktop computer when they view my content. A stream forces them to do so.
Not anymore. Think about how many phones have YouTube clients. Remember that these technologies are, for the most part, being driven by what students say they need. Students want to learn asynchronously -- that is, they want to listen to a summary of your lecture while commuting to campus; they want to listen to your supplementary materials while working out. A significant part of what makes iTunes U so cool and unique is that it exploits the synergy that exists between iTunes, the iTunes Store, and iPod music players. When you try to force students to view your material as a stream, you break this synergy. If you will not provide content the way students want to get it, they'll create their own solutions (see response to Argument 1).
It can be tough to wrap your head around, but if you provide students with what they want, they won't circumvent your efforts. In effect, you will have the greater control. It requires a Zen way of thinking. If you focus on creating great content, and letting students get access to it asynchronously, you are taking away from the the major motivation for redistributing your work without permission.

Is there any way to disable the use of the "Delete" key to delete an email message?

It's very frustrating when I hit the delete key and iCloud automatically erases the selected email message. I receive some HTML formatted emails that include a text box that I can utilize to directly reply to something. If I don't make any mistakes at all, I can utilize this box and post a reply. But if I mess up and need to delete text, instead of deleting text iCloud deletes the email message. Is there any way to disable this?
Thanks for your help.

I don't believe it's possible to disable the delete key, but could be wrong. However, if you delete an email in error, you can restore it by pressing cmd + Z to undo the deletion.
