Possible to turn off power saving/screen diming?

Hi I'm new the Iphone but I find it annoying that it keeps going into standby unless I'm constantly touching it. I've found this listening to the radio (which then turns off!) but its the worst when trying to read an ebook, suddenly the screen dims then turns off.
I've tried the auto bright option but it doesn't do anything. I have the 3GS if it makes a difference.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Turn Auto Lock to never. (In Settings).
Then watch your battery life disappear if you're not plugged in to a power source.

Turn off power saving for USB

Hi!
I have a problem with my external soundcard needing disconnection/reconnection after my MacBook's been sleeping. As a workaround I would like to turn off power saving for USB when the Mac's not running on battery. Is this possible?
Kind regards.

How do you turn off power saving mode on a Officejet 6000

I have 5 Officejet 6000 printer contected by using the ethernet port. They print fine when not in power saving mode. When they go into power saving mode and a print job is sent to them, they do not print. You have to power off and on the printer for the job to print. I need to turn off the power saving mode on these printers. Computers sending print jobs are XP and Window 7.

I am not aware of a way to turn that feature off completely since it does not have a front panel.
However, I suspect largely that the issue is with DHCP IP (automatic) settings. Printers in general, with some routers, have issues with DHCP and standby where they no longer communicate using DHCP information.
I recommend setting static IP addresses for any printer on a network as it prevents most network issues with printers from occuring.
Print a network configuration page by holding the network button for 3 seconds and then releasing it. A printout should be printed with the printers IP address.
Once that is done, enter that IP address into the browser on a computer as if you were going to a site. Once that is entered, go to that site and the printer status page should be loaded.
There should be a Network option at the top. Select that option.
On this page, somewhere on the left, there should be an IPv4 option in a wired section. Select this and it will give the option for automatic or manual IP setup.
Select Manual IP setup. Enter The IP address and subnet mask from the printout. You can enter the gateway and the DNS servers, but they aren't really used since this printer does not have any web functions.
Click apply and you should get a success message.
At this point, the printer should have a static IP address and the issue of it not responding after entering standby should no longer be present.
PrintDoc's post has similar steps for a wireless version of the same printer. The only step that would really be different is choosing Wired instead of Wireless on the setup page.

Is it possible to turn off the Welcome Screen in PSE8?

Just what the world needs, another splash screen which won't go away I can turn it off in PSE5 but I can't see how to do it in 8. Has anyone cracked this?
Thanks,
John

Thanks Barbara (I've got your book!). I did try that but it didn't work. I've looked further and found PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe and that's the one, that does the trick. But I really think that Adobe should be a bit more grown up about this and I should not have to resort to such back door tactics.
I'm afraid that PSE8 is rather grating on me so far. It seems to be like an over eager puppy jumping up trying to be "helpful" all of the time (and we all know what happened to M'Soft Office Clippy and his doggy pal!). I'm on day one of the 30 day trial so I'll persevere, but so far Adobe have not made the case for a sale. I'd like to be treated as an adult.
Thanks for your help,
John

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. :)

I accidently click for a full screen view on Firefox and now I can't undo it. My bar with tools, bookmarks, etc. is not visible. As the browser opens, the bar appears but then jumps up where it can't be reached. How do I turn off the full screen?

Co-el, This wasn't possible as there wasn't a navigation bar available. The F11 did the trick though. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

My iphone 4s automatically getting turned off (blank black screen) and not getting started until full battery discharge, after updating to ios 8.0.1

My iphone 4s automatically getting turned off (blank black screen) and not getting started until full battery discharge. Even on long pressing power button - screen doesn't showing anything - not even "needs charging logo".
This is happening only since I have updated to new ios version (ios 8.1).
Is there anyone facing similar issue?? Any suggestion?!?

Hi jayla_mora,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone screen is going blank and not responding.
You may find the tips in this article useful for troubleshooting this behavior:

Turning off power saver temporarily.

Is there a way to let the computer know I want to turn off power saver(dimming the screen then turning the display off) when watching DVDs? I seem to remember it was automatic with an older version of DVD player. Also is the solution applicable to VLC?

Yes, but I have to do this every time I want to watch something with either of those programs. I'm sure the old version automatically overcame this problem. At the moment I have to keep moving the mouse or touching the keyboard every few minutes.

Turning off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes

Quick question: How do I turn off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes. Is this even possible? Are there settings I am overlooking? Or perhaps a third-party app which can make it happen?
I have a large library and often leave my iPad connected to iTunes for several hours at a stretch. The bright glowing screen can be a big distraction, and, more importantly I am very worried about pixel burn-in.
Cheers,

The iPad LED Backlit IPS Screen is not phosphor-based, so there is no permanent phosphor burn-in problem. You might see some image persistence, but that is not permanent and can be corrected. See this support article about image persistence: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807
Since you have already converted your music to 128 kbps, you are unlikely to see any more 10+ hour syncs unless you have to do a restore. In that event, you could select the brightness control in settings to the lowest level.
FYI, there are some apps, such as Night stand HD that are designed to be used for long periods with unvarying displays and I have yet to see image persistence problems reported. However, since the iPad is still a new product, there may be some reports in the future.

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 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.
Is it possible to turn off the passcode?

row6 wrote:
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.

My iphone 4 turns off automatically after screen lock

Hello guys,
my iphone 4 turns off automatically after screen lock, i have to press the POWER + HOME button during 10 secondes for reboot.
And it's like that every time i lock the screen.
Please can someone help me ?
thanks.

Standard troubleshooting steps are reset, restore, restore as new.
Since resetting isn't working, try backing up and restoring through iTunes.

Hi, is it possible to turn off wi-fi of my time capsule?

Hi, I read an article that wifi electro-magnetic emission may be dangerous for children's health. Therefore I would like to use wired connection and turn off the wireless feature of my time capsule. Please let me know if it is possible and how I can do it.
Still I would like to use the time capsule as a wired router and backup storage facility for my desctop.
One additional question - if it is not going to be possible to turn off the wi-fi, is there another alternative to turn off the time capsule reather than disconnecting it from the socket? Is there an alternative power cord with turn on/turn off switch? Any ideas?
Regards,
aldo7

Hi, I read an article that wifi electro-magnetic emission may be dangerous for children's health.
There will always be a silly article about anything... if you read it.
I can understand your concern, but Pastenague already pretty much summed up most of what I was going to say. BTW, I would not be surprised if that author is the kind of hypocrite who goes out in the sun all day, or hangs out in cigarette smoke filled rooms.
Electromagnetic waves are everywhere, man-made and environmental. After well over a decade of testing, it's never been proven ... all these 'scare claims' that tend to hit the media. I still remember what started it all, back when someone was diagnosed with cancer after shortly getting a cell phone, and he heard about someone else who had cancer and also had used a cellphone.
OMG... Therefore, cellphones MUST cause cancer, and the electromagentic waves are carcinogens!
They're still trying to prove that.
There are far more things to worry about health wise, than the EMFs.
BTW, in regards to that author, I have my own article to submit to them. And I can even back mine up with facts:
A study has shown that given a long-enough time-line, EVERYONE who drinks water in their life, eventually dies.
Another study has shown, that 100% of people who currently are diagnosed with cancer, have drank at least 1 cup of water in thier life-time.
Another alarming fact has been raised recently, that the harmful effects of water is not just restricted to humans. For example, a study of deceased adult cows at various farms, has shown that there was water-content in all their carcasses.
There is a strong lesson to be learned here. Stay way from water or any product bearing H2O at all costs!

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

Is it possible to turn off a spot colour

Hello
Probably a dumb question but I will ask anyway. Is it possible to turn off a spot colour in CS4. I can effectively do it by creating a spot white and merging the spot colour I want to delete to the spot white using the ink aliasing. However, this leaves a spot colour in the high res pdf at th end of the job. This then causes a problem as we use an online proofing system which then fails the flightcheck as there is a spot colour in the pdf.
Cheers
Beeefcake

The spot colour is used so that we can perform a find on any text with a fill of the spot colour and delete it. The spot colour is put in for this purpose when the original artwork is created in the US.
Kathlene - I can't believe I didn't spot that! This would work! We could just convert the swatch to 0% cmyk as you suggest. The majority of the pages in the catalogue are on a white background so the pricing would simply disappear resulting in no spot place when pdf's are made. There are some pages on a coloured background but these are very few and the pricing could be deleted manually.
Thanks for the help!
