Make T440s trackpad act like the older one? - disable touch but keep buttons?

Is there a way to disable the "touch" portion of the new T440s trackpad - while keeping the "button" functionality? I'm a big fan of the trackpoint plus the two discrete buttons (Like my old T420/430s had), and if there is some way to disable everything EXCEPT the "soft buttons" on the new T440s... then I can get very very close to the old behavior... any thoughts on whether this is possible?

Yes, this is possible:
- Disable the TrackPad in BIOS
- Enable "Classical TrackPoint only Mode" in the driver

Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where your contacts should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air not involving your computer or involving it in addition to such as with an Apple iCloud account, Yahoo, Gmail, and Hotmail.

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

How do I make my old user account perform like the new one?

I have a macbook pro 13" 2008 with 8 gb of ram that has been showing stuttering in hd video lately (or maybe when i upgraded to lion). I created another user and it doesn't seem to suffer any stuttering. Perhaps it doesn't have weird things running the background like the 655mb kernal task I see in activity monitor. My question is, how do I make my old user account perform like the new one? I've tried to turn off things running the background, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

I wanted to download some music from my lap top using I tunes when it connected my I pad to download the music it upgraded to the new ios operating system I hate it can I go back to the older one I like better

I loved the original older operating system that came with my I PAD. Accidently when I was downloading music from my lap top on I tunes, I tunes automatically upgraded my IPAD before downloading the music. I hate this new 7.04 it is horrible. I can not figure out how to clear the icons like with my older version, when I used to hold down the start button thing , I would see the icons, hold my finger down on one of them until an x appeared and then theyall got cleared. Now this does not work, they open the program instead. I hate this new one. Can I go back to the older one I had that I liked so much. Help

Sorry, downgrading is not supported.

Post a screen shot if you can by pressing cmd+shift+4 for only a certain section or cmd+shift+3 for a full screen shot.

HT204476 is there anyway to get rid of the old iPhoto Library? It defeats the purpose of having a new software if I have to keep the remnants of the older one.

Where are the masters actually stored upon conversion from Aperture to Photos? Photos?
The master files are stored on your drive, but they are not actually stored "in" any folder. Folders are really just special files that store various bits of information about the files associated with that folder, including links to where they actually are stored. That's why you can "move" a file from one folder to another very quickly: all that you really are doing is moving the link & other info from one folder to the other folder, while the file itself stays where it was.
Because of this, it is possible for more than one folder to link to the same file -- in the Finder it looks just like there are two copies of the file, one in each folder, but there really is just the one copy. From the description in the Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries doc, it looks like that's what happens when you import your iPhoto library into Photos -- both the old iPhoto Library "file" (which actually is a set of folders & subfolders of files) & the Photos Library (also consisting of folders & files) contain links to the master files, but like the Apple doc says, there really is just one set of master files being stored.
This is very similar to the way Time Machine backups look like they have multiple copies of the same unique file, one in each time-stamped backup folder, but there really is only one copy on the Time Machine drive. My guess is Apple is using hard links for this, which means the actual master files will not be deleted from the file system as long as at least one link remains to each of them.
So you should be safe in deleting the old iPhotos Library once you are absolutely sure you don't need it, but to be sure, if it was me I would make a backup just in case, or better yet just leave it alone.

Hey donnieandjamie31,
It sounds like you are not getting the email to reset your password. If you have a rescue email setup for your Apple ID, the reset password email will be sent there and not your Apple ID email address:
When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided.

You can change the interface to look much like Firefox 3.6.x. See:
*http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6/
*http://blog.fligtar.com/2011/01/16/how-to-customize-firefox-4s-ui/
'''''Firefox 3 Theme for Firefox 4''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox/
*Add color home, back/forward and other buttons (like Firefox 3) to the Navigation Toolbar in place of the gray buttons in Firefox 4
*See: http://ffaddons.game-point.net/ff3ff4/
Also see:
*http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
There are '''major''' changes to the user interface in Firefox 4.
#The '''MenuBar / Firefox button'''. Turn on the Firefox 3 style Menu Bar on (Firefox button off) or turn the Menu Bar off (Firefox button on) using one of the following:
#*HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTM. The Menu Bar will appear as in Firefox 3.6. This places a check mark next to "Menu Bar".
#*Right-click in a blank space on a tool bar, click "Menu Bar" to check/un-checked (checked = display Menu Bar; un-checked = display Firefox button
#*Using the Menu Bar: View > Toolbars, click Menu Bar to check/un-check (on/off)
#*Using the Firefox button: click Firefox button > Options, click Menu Bar to check/un-check (on/off)
#'''Tabs on top''' (above other toolbars). To change Tab Bar to a position below the toolbars as in prior versions, click "Tabs on top" to check/un-check (on/off)
#*HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTT. This checks/un-checks (on/off) "Tabs on top".
#*Right-click in a blank space on a tool bar, click "Tabs on top" to check/un-checked (checked = Tabs are on top; un-checked = Tabs are below toolbars)
#*Using Menu Bar: View > Toolbars
#*Using Firefox button: click Firefox button > Options
#*Use one of the above procedures to again show "Tabs on top" (checked)
#'''The Status Bar has been eliminated and replaced by the Add-on Bar'''. You can restore some of the prior Status Bar functionality on the new Add-on Bar by
#*installing the Status-4-Evar extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
#*Be sure the Add-on bar is diplayed at the bottom of the Firefox 4 window
#**Ctrl+/ toggles the Add-on Bar displayed or not displayed
#**Firefox button > Options '''''OR''''', if you are optionally using the Menu Bar instead of the Firefox button, View > Toolbars '''''OR''''' right-click in a blank space on a toolbar::
#***if no check mark next to Add-on Bar, click Add-on bar to place a check mark.
#***If Add-on bar has a check mark, it is already displayed
#*then drag 3 widgets to the Add-on Bar from the Customize Toolbar window (the 3 widgets are: Status Text, Progress Meter, Download Status). To open the Customize Toolbar window
#**Using Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars > Customize
#**Using Firefox button: click Firefox button, click small arrow to the right of Options, click Toolbar Layout
#**Note: Instead of either of the above, you can do as in the past, right-click an empty space in the Navigation toolbar and choose Customize
#*set options for Status-4-Evar:
#**Menu Bar: Tools > Add-ons, click on Status4Ever, click Options, set options to your liking
#**Firefox button: click Firefox button, click Add-ons, scroll down to Status-4-Evar, click Options, set options to your liking
#Firefox 4.0 has a '''''combined''''' Go/Reload/Stop button that is positioned at the far right of the location bar.
#*During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button. If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
#*You can middle-click that button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
#*In Firefox 4.0 you can move the Stop/Reload button out of the location bar and put them wherever you want on the toolbar. You can also make them appear as separate buttons on the toolbar.
#** Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move them out of the location bar.
#** Swap the two buttons or move them to their previous position at the left of the location bar.
#** If the order is "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
#** Swap the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.
 
 
'''There is a change in Firefox 4 in how Location bar search works.'''
*'''''In Firefox 3.6.x''''', Location bar search uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and
**if there is a clear match it will take you to the site
**otherwise it shows the Google search result page
*'''''Firefox 4's default''''' is
**to perform a Google search and present the Google search results page '''''if''''' you type something which is not recognized as a URL
**you must type a complete URL, such as www.youtube.com , to go directly to the site
*'''Also make sure you
**are remembering Browsing History: Options > Privacy, [X] Remember my browsing history
***see: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Privacy%20panel

Changed my email (login) now I can't disconnect from the older one

Hi there
I changed my email on Apple account and now I can't access the older one.
What happens is that how the email has changed it can't find the old one that is settle up on the notebook and iphone.
So I thought about disconnecting from the old email (login) and connecting to the new one.
But the password is not accepted and when I try to make a new one it changes the password linked to the new email!!!!!!!
Don't what to do anymore.
Hope u can help!

Now, when I try to change the password from the account linked to the old email it doesn't send me an email to do that and don't recognize my safe questions anymore...

I don't like the latest Firefox. Can I keep the old one without problems?

At work I have v. 3.6.19 and it is asking me to upgrade to 5.0.1. I have a brand-new iMac at home and I installed the newest Firefox just a couple of months ago, so I probably have the 5.0.1. In any case, I don't like the new one's interface. Instead of having separate reload and stop buttons to the LEFT of the url window, there's a single reload/stop button (and it seems smaller than the old ones) attached to the RIGHT of the url window. Since I have a 27" screen on my new computer, it means I have to move the mouse WAY UP TO THE RIGHT to reload a screen, which is hard on my mousing hand. That may sound like nitpicking to you, but I'm finding it to be a problem. Also, the Home button seems to have disappeared. I just don't find the ease of use to be the same as with the one I still have at work. So I guess my question is twofold: 1) can I keep the old version at work and still upgrade the Flash (as it's asking me to do as well)?; and 2) can I put an older version on my iMac at home?
I used to work in software (although not as an engineer), and in my opinion, newer does not always equal better. A case in point, it used to be easier to return to a previous page using the top toolbar, but as the versions change the function seems to be harder to use.

Hey paulwisc,
If you are just unhappy with the location of the Home button, you can move it to any toolbar location that you like. [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars?s This article] will give you all the steps you need to customize the toolbar.
Is that the only reason you want to roll back? If you have other reasons, you should consider [http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback leaving feedback] for the developers so that they can continue to improve the product.
If you still want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

TimeMachine to save ONLY the current version of Apps? Not the older ones...

Hi everyone!
I update my apps a lot, or I modify them (XSlimmer, Trimmit, Monolingual, etc...)...
Therefore, I have TimeMachine that saves me all the old (and heavy) versions of all my apps.
Ho can I get TimeMachine to save only the current (last) version of the apps stored on my internal HD?
Thank you!

No no no!
I ment, I have the lastest versions of my apps on my internal HD, but TimeMachine (on an external HD, obviously) saves ALL the versions of them (the older and bulkier ones too, which take space for nothing)...
I'd like to know if I can tell TimeMachine to save only the latest versions of the apps (and not the older ones...)
Thanks

After update to 12 every start is like the first one (add-ons check+what's new page)

After updating from FF11 to FF12, every start of the browser is like the first one after update: checking the add-ons compatibility, and displaying "what's new" page. I could live with it but it doesn't make it less annoying. Help anyone!

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization features that can cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
