Prevent DVD player from starting up when I insert a DVD

Open System preferences, select CDs & DVDs

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook?

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook? We use Apple Configurator and would love to be able to set up the MacBook to open Apple Configurator when we plug in an iPad.

When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

Prevent Flash Player 10.1 freezing when off-screen (AS2)

I'm working on a set of SWFs that need to sync with each other using LocalConnection in AS2.
It was working fine in Flash Player 10, but as 10.1 throttles Flashes when they are not visible, the SWFs lose their sync if any of the SWFs are not visible on the page.
This is particularly annoying as we were not aware of this new behaviour in 10.1 and I expect the update will break a lot of similar websites.
Can anything be done to prevent Flash Player from stopping the Flashes? Ideally through the AS2 code.

I found that Flash has a new hasPriority parameter:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/mobile/WS4bebcd66a74275c36cfb8137124318eebc6-7ffd.html
This forces the SWF to start playing if it is off screen initially, which is better.
However, when the user scrolls so that a SWF moves off screen, it will still be throttled and resume from it's current frame when the user scrolls back on.
Is there any alternative to hasPriority that will continue to keep the Flash active?

Prevent AppleMobileDeviceService.exe from starting

Windows XP home, 3.2GHz Pentium 4 processor, 4 GB RAM, Dell Dimension 5150
Since starting to use an iPod, AppleMobileDeviceService.exe starts every time I start iTunes. This process takes a tremendous amount of resources to run (50-75% of CPU). I usually go into task manager and kill the process.
How can I prevent this process from starting when I start iTunes?
If this service is not running, how can I start it manually when transferring music? Or does it automatically start when an Apple device is detected?

generally you may access your PC's services by going start > run > and type "services.msc" without the quotations.
Locate the "AppleMobileDeviceService.exe" and right click > properties > change the drop down box from automatic to Manual, then click the "stop" button if you want to stop it.
I have a theory that this might be triggering the iTunes to continuously reopen itself if using wifi sinc.. have you experienced any issues with this?
:::edit:::
I don't *think* the service will start itself when you start iTunes, but i could be completely wrong. On the contrary, if you've disabled the service and then try to sync and nothing happens then you know that's your problem.
Worth playing with.
Also as a further FYI, it's easy to get carried away with disabling services and what not, once you're in you realize it can really improve a boot up process/overal computer functionality, but i encourage you to research what each service does before disabling. surely you thought about this already, though 8)

Prevent browser session from starting

I've automated the installation of a workstation using SCCM. One of the applications that is installed during this process, automatically starts an IE browser session when it's done.
Is there a way to prevent the browser from starting? I tried to kill the process after it started using taskkill.exe in a script. It kills the proces, but when i start the browser after that, it generates the message that the browser hasn't been closed correctly
the last time.
If i can't prevent it, is there a way to close the browser in a correct way?

Hi,
It seems that Internet Explorer service runs at Logon. You can use msconfig.exe to check if it's enabled under Startup and Services.
Also, you can see if it will execute during Logon with autoruns.exe.
Here is an article which may help you.

To kill iexplorer process, you can run such command:
Get-Process iexplore | Foreach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() }

Windows 7 "a patch is preventing the system from starting" error code 0x490

I have a Windows 7 machine.
It was working fine.
Now it will not boot.
When I try system repair, it says:
Root cause found
A patch is preventing the system from starting.
Repair action: System file integrity cheack and repair

I have tried doing safe mode, last known good configuration etc and nothing works
Also, I tried to restore to an early checkpoint, but it claims that none exist, even thought I know we save restore points.

1. Insert the Windows 7 Disc and boot from it.
2. In the recovery menu, choose Command Prompt .
3. Type the following command and press Enter:
Chkdsk /r /f
Please also try the following commands and press Enter at the end of each line:
Ren C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml pending.old
Ren C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution SDOLD
Regedit.exe
When the register editor opens, please navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS:

Is there a way to prevent an image from turning blue when selecting it?

I'm exported a pdf from InDesign that will be used as a brochure for one of the exhibitions at our museum. I'm wondering if there's any way to prevent an image from turning blue when a reader clicks on it. Since all of the images are works of art, I'd rather that they not change color when people click on them.
I changed the security settings so the images couldn't be copies, hoping that would prevent the blue square, but it didn't help.
thanks for any suggestions.
Chris

There are several ways to do that and here are but two of them.
1. If you want to make a new image you can right click on the channel, click on Duplicate Channel and under Destination>Document, select New
2. If you want to add a new layer to your document, click on the channel in the channels panel, go to Select>All, then Edit>Copy, click on RGB in the channels panel and then Edit>Paste

When going to my hometown paper's site I get a dropdown banner that says Firefox has prevented this site from reloading ,but when I click on the allow button you have on the banner nothing happens so why is the button there?

When I go to the local paper's from Elmira,NY and some other sites I get a drop down banner at the top of the page that tell me Firefox has prevented this page from reloading,but when I go to the allow button that you put on the right side of the banner and click on it the banner goes away and then it comes right back. It will come back every time you click allow until I click on the x box. So I want to know why is the allow button there if it does nothing?

Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the General tab, remove the checkmark from "'''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''".
You won't get that dropdown banner anymore afterwards.

How can I prevent my iPhone4 from starting after connecting to Power?

How can I prevent my iPhone4 from starting (booting) after connecting to Power?

You can't so far as I know. You can however, shut it down after it's connected to power and it should not power back on as long as it's connected. If the power is disconnected/reconnected, it will power back on.
If you just want to avoid calls, etc. while it's plugged in, you could just put it in airplane mode.

How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode?

How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode and plugged in?

Thanks tjk.
Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
Any other suggestions are welcome.

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Can you prevent Procurement Wizard from popping up when Procurement Documen

Can you prevent Procurement Wizard from popping up when Procurement Document is checked on the Logistics tab?
We would like to handle all Procurement Documents in a process separate from entry of the Sales Order. Is there a way to not have the Procurement Wizard pop up automatically when a Sales Order has Procurement Document checked and is then added?
Alan

Hi Alan,
Please check Note No. :1524113. There is a change in working of Procurement Wizard as follows which is mentioned in the Note.
In the "Customer" window of the procurement confirmation wizard, the "Include All Open Sales Orders" checkbox was added. If you select this checkbox, all open sales orders with unfulfilled purchase quantities for the selected business partners are displayed.
If you do not select this checkbox, only those sales orders are displayed for which the "Procurement Document" option was checked or that use a drop-ship warehouse and have unfulfilled purchase quantities.
Check in Demo if you do not tick the checkbox 'Procurement Document' and in the Procurement Confirmation wizard, use the 'Include All Open Sales Orders, whether the same helps.
Kind Regards,
Jitin
