Screen Sharing scrolling, can the auto-pan feature be turned off?

I am using screen sharing from home on my MacBook Pro to connect to my Mac Pro at work and it performs really well in all respects but one. My Mac Pro has dual monitors, so Screen Sharing running on my MacBook Pro gives me the option of either scaling the larger screen down, which is not readable, or being able to scroll around the larger screen of my work machine. The problem is that Screen Sharing has the automatic pan feature so that if my mouse moves to the edge of the window showing the shared screen then it starts scrolling it. This is nice the first time you see it but quickly becomes annoying because every random mouse movement that takes me to the edge of the window, like moving the mouse out of that window to go the the dock or the menu of my MacBook Pro, starts scrolling the screen when I did not want it to. I find myself constantly re-centering the view of the shared screen in the window back to the position I want it in and I find this to be a very anti-productive waste of time. I would like the auto-pan feature disabled so that it will only scroll when I grab a scroll bar and move it. Is it possible to do this?

Hey all,
I'm having the exact same problem with a Toshiba Satellite P300 here. The multimedia button seems so sensitive that the laptop will turn on by itself after a while. I haven't been able to find a program to disable it. Has anyone found a solution to this? If you do, please send me an email at [email protected] (remove the nospam) so I can fix it once and for all.
Thanks,
Dre

you option is to use the side control and put your phone on vibrate or lower the volume of your ringer.

Can the Apple startup sound be turned off?

That's my question . . . want to boot the computer without getting the little Apple tune.

Found an article on the Google. A download for a preference pane to adjust the volume of the chime or to turn it off.

HT5295 How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

Hi there.
I listened to podcast there were two things I found that helped me out. Both we're in the podcast app itself.
Firstly change the default sorting order. When looking at the list off episodes a available on your ios device tap on the description part at the top, this will bring up the settings for that podcast (subscribe mark as played etc) scroll to the Bottom and select oldest first. This will mean that if you are listening to the latest download it will stop at the end as there will be no more to play.
Secondly, and useful if listening to older podcasts in the list, you can use the timer to stop once the current episode has ended. To do this when you are in the podcast playback screen slide the "album artwork" up, revealing the playback options and nifty tape playing animation this is where you adjust playback speed and set a timer. The timer has a number of options to set playback to stop after set amount of time. However one of these options is to stop once the current episode you are listening to ends. This can also be current chapter if the podcast you are listening to supports chapters.
Hope this helps, if not clear let me know

Hello. I recently updated numbers on my macbook pro. I like the auto completion feature (proposing te word as I type). With this new update, I cannot see this feature and it doesn't work automatically. Can I have any help on this issue ?

This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot

I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere.

No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

"Disconnected from Screen Sharing because: Can't get video from the Camera"

Whenever I try to do Screen Sharing with another Mac (with Leopard), I get this warning:
"Disconnected from Screen Sharing because: Can't get video from the Camera"
It doesn't seem to affect video chats, which I can do just fine.

It's an AirPort Express, but the problem doesn't seem to be unique to the router. I tried it in another location with another router and it still didn't work.

We are trying to package our iTunes Windows and we can't stop the auto update feature. How can we do this?

We have consultants here packaging many of our Apps for deployment with Windows 7. We cannot find a way to turn off the auto update feature within iTunes for Windows. Has someone been successful in packaging iTunes for Windows and NOT do the auto update piece?

The Apple advice revolves around the editing the registry:
Windows OS Managed Client: How to manage iTunes control features
... but it's beyond my competence to advise how to work that particular registry edit into a deployment, I'm afraid.

Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my General settings why is this ?

Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my General settings why is this ?

And yet the link you posted only tells you how to do it on the Facebook App for Android. Nothing about the Facebook page is mentioned at all, or how to do it on an iPhone.
With that said, and assuming you have the most up to date version of the Facebook App, you can now turn the auto play feature Off within the Facebook App itself. Tap on the "More" icon on the bottom right, then scroll down to Settings->Videos and Photos->Auto Play. If Smart auto-Play is on turn it off. Then you can set the check mark on "Never Play Videos Automatically" which is the same as Off.

10.6.8 MBPro Screen Sharing suddenly can not connect to our other Macs.

We've used Screen Sharing from our MBPros for the past few years to manage our Mac file & media servers. Last year we replaced our G5 file server with a Mac Mini with Lion server. No problems - we could still use Screen Sharing to manage both this Lion file server and the Snow Leopard MacPro that's hooked up to our TV (among other things).
Friday morning my MBP could not see or connect to the Lion file server - the MBPs have the Lion server's data drives in Login Items so they mount when we log in. I also cound not Screen Share to either the Lion server or the SL MacPro. I checked the MBP's ethernet connection and could get to our router and the internet. When I tried to connect via Screen Sharing (by using the Share Screen... button in a Finder window, by using the Connect to Server command with vnc:// protocol, or by using the ScreenSharing menulet) I would get the "Connecting to Lion server" alert but nothing further. I left it for 10 minutes or so and it eventually disappeared but the connection never opened.
I checked the two servers and both were up and running. From the SL MacPro I could use Screen Sharing to get to the Lion server - and my MBPro too. From the Lion server I could Screen Share to the MacPro and my MBPro also.
The problem appeared to be with my MBPro. I switched to an unprivledged user account on it and found I could then get to both servers using Screen Sharing. So it was just my account on the MBPro. Rebooting did not help. Turning on AirPort, connecting to our home AirPort Extreme and unplugging the ethernet cable did not change anything with my account connecting to the servers.
I figured something somehow got pranged in my account's credentials. I used Keychain Access to delete all keychains containing the servers' names, IP addresses or sharing. I was asked for my credentials when I mounted the server's shared drives, but not when I tried Screen Sharing - got the same "Connecting to Lion server" or "Connecting to media server" dialogues and was never asked for username or password, but never connected either.
I cleared all caches using the utility Maintenance in case my MBPro was using invalid cached info. No improvement.
Saturday morning I shut down everything on our entire network - FiOS "modem"/router, Netgear gigabit switch, AirPort Snow, AirPort Extreme, MacPro, MacMini, both MacBookPros... even the FiOS cable box. Still no improvement.
IPv6 is disabled on the Lion server. All the Macs have all curent updates applied.
I've spent most of today Googling for solutions and trying them out. None have worked - though I see several very recent reports in these Apple Communities about Screen Sharing suddenly not working.
I really do not want to have to move to a new account on my MBP - and what's to say it won't happen again? Anyone have other suggestions?

sunnovagun!
Hitting the Log Out button in the MobileMe panel worked. I can now connect to both the SnowLeopard and Lion servers just like I used to.
My condition appears to have been slightly different from yours, gmia - the MobileMe on my MBP had the correct info, but hose are not the credentials i use to remote to the two servers. I'm guessing that for some reason ScreenSharing began using my MobileMe credentials instead of what I had saved in the keychains.
Wonder if it had anything to do with the shutdown of the MM servers. That would be odd as using ones apple ID to log into a Mac remotely was new with Lion, and I had the same problem with our SnowLeopard server - which I remote into much more frequently.
Probably didn't hurt though to reboot the entire network...

Display is not working But Through Screen Sharing I can Access my computer

Ok. After turning my computer off and then turning it back on a couple hours later the screen would not turn on. Im still able to log in. With screen Sharing I can acces my computer and system profiler shows that my RAM cards are OK. However when I click on Graphics/Display it unexpectedly quits.
What could the problem be? Any help is greatly appreciated : )
Ps. I wrote this through screen sharing out of my account on the display-less computer.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I wonder if you could have the NVIDIA chip problem?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
Is the display totally dead, or can you see your desktop if you shine a strong light through the apple on the back of the display? If so, you may have a different issue with just the internal display. A good test would be to see what happens with an external display connected directly to the MBP.
Good luck!

How do i turn off the auto lock feature? In my options it does not have "never" on it. It is only timed amounts.

How do I turn off the auto lock feature. I have only timed options. There is not the "never" option available.

I've got options for 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes and Never. Have you got an Exchange email account on your iPad ? 'Never' can be removed so as to protect a company's potentially sensitive email - they may not want the iPad being left/stolen with the emails on it accessible. If you remove the account the Never option will probably reappear

Lock screen does not support the new panoramic feature in iOS7

Lock screen does not support the new panoramic feature in iOS7.
You are supposed to be able to take panoramic photos and then set them as your lock screen background.
Then you can move your phone around to see the full photo.
My i5 doesn't !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe this was removed in the later betas of IOS 7. It may make a reappearance in a future update.
It was mentioned at WWDC when iOS 7 was announced, but there is no mention of it on the Apple website.
