My iPhoto often have difficulty in opening without the "repair". Maybe it's because I have almost 2000 pictures! When I initiate repair using Mac for a long time to find and sort faces .... Is it possible to turn off or avoid this feature?

This user has found a "hack" to turn off faces. Several users have reported success with the method. I can't comfirm the method as I've not used it. Use at your own risk.

Re: Iphoto 11 -How to turn off faces?
Dec 30, 2013 9:06 AM (in response to mkmichaelmk)
Start of solution:
I did some digging in the prefs of iPhoto and found out the following. This is how you can disable (turn off) Face detection, without deleting faces found so far (just in case you want to restart processing at another time):
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Open Terminal Application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
3. Type the following (exactly as is):
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto PKFaceDetectionEnabled 0
(then return)
4. - Start iPhoto - Faces stops getting on your nerves...
If you ever need to re-enable faces, just do the same again and replace the 0 with 1.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

ITunes Match now stalls on step 1. I have a PC with Windows Vista. I've use Match for a long time

iTunes Match now stalls on step 1. I have a PC with Windows Vista. I've used iTunes Match for a long time & it has worked well until last week. Most of my songs now have a dotted outlined cloud beside them & I can't download to my phone. 6 new albums can't be seen at all. I've turned off Match (with shift key down) & turned it back on - restricted my upload speed to 75% of max - I even uninstalled iTunes & re-installed it. Any suggestions?

iTunes Match is stalled in the same place again today. Step 1 seems to have completed as the blue progress bar is complete. The message says "Delivering your iTunes Match results..." When I went to bed last night, this is where iTunes was stuck. But this morning, Match had stopped trying to "deliver." It obviously did not finish because 6 new albums do not show up on my iPhone 5 - all of the 3 steps on the Match page were grayed out this morning & the "Start" button was available.
This is what I did yesterday - I looked at My Music and clicked "Songs." I then added the "iCloud" column and sorted by that field. I found about 100 files that had a problem of some sort (cloud with exclamation point inside). Each of them had lost track of where the music file was - even though the music files were exactly where they should have been. I re-linked (one at a time) all of the music files to the song titles. In the cloud field one song was described as "ineligible for iTunes Match." It had a could with a line drawn through it. I didn't know what that meant, so I deleted the song.
I then turned off iTunes Match holding the shift key down & iTunes began collecting information from my library. This took several hours but it did seem to complete because it changed to the "delivering results" message. However, this morning I noticed that all of the files I re-linked yesterday still had the "error cloud" symbol today - a cloud with an exclamation mark inside. Yesterday these songs wouldn't play until I re-linked the files. Today they will play as expected, but they still have the "error cloud.' To add to my confusion albums marked with the "error file" are still able to be downloaded to my phone, but the songs with the "error cloud" will not play smoothly on my PC. They stutter regularly throughout playback. However, if I download one of those songs or albums to my phone, it plays perfectly.
I hope this helps someone to explain what my problem is & the appropriate solution. I have a little more than 12,000 songs in my library in case that makes a difference. Should I just delete the files with he "error cloud"? All of the songs appear to be still in the cloud because they are available for download to my phone.

Hi out there. To capture a screen shot one uses: Command-Shift-3 or 4. I have done this for a long time. Now suddenly neither screen shot works anymore. Suggestions how to get this useful function back? Thanks, Georgx

Command-Shift-3 and 4 works just fine on several Macs that I have here.
Try restarting your Mac....or post in the specific support area for your Mac model....for more advice.

Have used Firefox for a long time and now it will not boot up and I get message saying cannot initialize security component. Have uninstalled and re-installed Yahoo optimized 5 version and still the same.

The only thing I have done different in the past few days is to install trial version of Bitdefender Total Security and I used the PC tune-up feature for PC clean-up and registry cleaner. That seems to be the point I could not loner use Firefox.

I have Firefox 3.6.6, and now that Firefox 4.0 is available, it crashes constantly. Sometimes less than 5 minutes after I open it. I have a Mac 10.4.11, so Firefox 4.0 isn't an option for me. When I asked Ff to check my plug-ins it said there was an error and to check back later. Twice.
Because I didn't have any (any) problems with my Ff before the upgrade became available, I am forced to question if Ff has done something to make the earlier version crash so you'll upgrade, but I can't afford to upgrade my Mac right now.
In the meantime, I do need a browser that works! I dislike Safari, Chrome is also not available on Mac 10.4.11, and Explorer is just plain not available on Mac.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix my Firefox 3.6.6?

When i stay on another tab for a long time and then goes back to the facebook tab, firefox will open the tab for about 5-10 seconds...it looks like a lag

if i use firefox and open tabs, the moment that i go back to the facebook tab, it would take firefox 5-10 seconds to open the facebook tab.it's really annoying

That is most likely caused by Firefox releasing memory used in that tab to minimize the memory that is currently in use.<br />
This includes memory that stores the DOM tree and that tree needs to be rebuild to allow navigation scrolling and clicking items on the page.<br />
On complicated pages that have a lot of elements this can take a few seconds.

Launch iPhoto and you will Be fine. Open the import(ing) folder and if there are any photos in it you need import them to iPhoto then trash the imoort(ing) folder.

Is it possible to turn off the Apple dock completely?

I was wondering if it was possible to turn off the Apple dock completely without causing irreparable damage to my system. I am considering using Drag Thing, but when I am using it the functionality seems redundant with the Apple dock, also using both programs in tandem uses up more precious memory. The Drag Thing website links to the following tutorial as a solution:
http://www.creativemac.com/2003/02_feb/tutorials/dockdead2030225.htm
But it was published a long time ago, and I don't want to do anything rash that would damage my system, I mean I don't dislike the Apple dock enough to do that. Thanks in advance for the consideration and suggestions.

I could only discover an option to hide the dock from within Drag Thing. I am looking to make the dock disappear completely. Drag Thing does not officially support this option, giving this answer in the Q & A section of their website:
"*It is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. Since people often ask how to do it anyway, here's a good tutorial I found on how to kill the Dock by Kevin Schmitt. This may have unforseen side effects however, which is why I've not documented the procedure myself, or added an option for this in DragThing. I keep the Dock hidden off the bottom of the screen on my own Mac.*"
Is the dock so embedded within the Finder's operations that killing it will affect system performance?

Is it possible to turn off game sounds?

Hi, all...
I have an iPod Classic (160 gb, version 2.0.5) and I've searched high and low so I think I know the answer... but is it possible to turn *off* the sounds made by the native click wheel games (such as Klondike) or should I resign myself to listening to them even though very much don't want to?
Cheers!

Nokia is working on a software tweak for the softness is photos on the Lumia 920 (can't find the quote atm, saw it a few days ago). In the mean time some folks have reported sharper photos using the 4:3 aspect ratio.
The fact that the 920 seems to produce pictures that are about 1/2 the file size of similar pictures on the iPhone 5 sort of leads me to believe that the issue has to do with Compression/post-processing of some kind.

Is it possible to turn off a channel in DAQ?

I am using 4*PXI-6070E to acquire 64 channels simultanously. Is it possible to turn off one or several channels during acquisition? Which function or property node should I use? I have tried using property node "disable" in waveform graph but it seems didn't work. That channel is still running and the data is still here. Can anyone help me plz? THX a lot!

Once a set of channels are configured in a task and being acquired, you cannot reconfigure the task (add/remove channels) without stopping the running task
What you could do is to: Use array functions ( like index array) to create a subset of channels you require, from the set of channels being acquired

Camileo S20 - Is it possible to turn off the screen?

Is it possible to turn off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection modes so as to save power?

Hi buddy,
I have downloaded the user manual off Camileo S20 and searched a little bit but unfortunately I can find no informations about turning off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection. It seems that the screen is always on.
But you can connect the AC adaptor while recording movies. So you have always power. :)

Is it possible to turn off the passcode?

I’ve seen a couple postings that say go to Settings --> General --> Passcode Lock, but on my iPhone 4s I don’t see anywhere to turn it off at that point. In the manual, there is no description of turning off the passcode – at least I didn’t find it.

no, once you get to Passcode Lock, there is no option to turn it off - certainly none visible to me. Have you actually tried to do this? Do you have an iphone 4s?
Here is a screen shot of what you get when you press "Passcode Lock".
You have to ENTER your passcode first, to access the part of the Settings that allows you to disable the passcode lock.
Enter your passcode.
Then you can turn the passcode off.

Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again?

Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again? Because you need wifi in order to activate and sometimes I don't have wifi so my iphone becomes unusable untill I get wifi again.

I'm sorry but it says 8.1.2 on my phone when I check for the info about the software.
The issue I have is that on random moments it asks me to activate my phone ( I think after an update or some kind ) but sometimes I have no access to wifi to activate it so I was wondering if I could make that stop?
I'm sorry for the strange explanation, english isn't my mothertongue

Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

There is no specific function that turns FGL on or off.
When you say that it has stopped, do you mean that the handles no longer show?
If that is the case, then I think you may have modified the CSS to such an extent that Dreamweaver no longer recognises it as belonging to FGL.
There are a couple of avenues for you
Redo the site and make sure not to touch the FGL CSS
paste the code here so that we can see what has gone wrong.
