Stop bluetooth menubar item from appearing?

When the battery on my mighty mouse starts to get "low" the stupid blue tooth menubar item always appears and flashes.
Problem is, once the battery is "low" it usually goes another 5 to 7 days before it dies.
Is there a way to stop the blue tooth menubar item from showing up... ever.. at all?

Of course I did that, perhaps my post wasn't clear.
I always have the "show bluetooth in the menubar" option turned off. But when the batteries in my mouse or keyboard get low the menubar item turns itself on, apparently in some attempt to badger me into changing my batteries before they actually need to be changed, maybe apple is in collusion with battery manufacturers or something.
What I want to know is how to turn off the bluetooth menubar item PERMANENTLY so that the first hint I get that my batteries are dead is... they die. I really don't need to know before that moment, plus the warning comes up DAYS before the batteries actually die.

I have the iPhone 4S and my daughter has the iPad 2. We share my Apple ID. Is there any way to stop her text messages from appearing on my phone, and vice versa? She doesn't need to be reading my texts!

no, there currently is no way of doing this. You can only create a second Apple ID.

Help - How to stop Bluetooth on BB10 from repeatedly trying to connect to unknown device

Hi,
So about a week ago I was trying to connect my Q10 to a Bluetooth speaker. In the process of this (and rather stupidly) I tried to connect to some unknow device that is not mine (nor was it the bluetooth speaker). I quickly deleted this connection. However my Q10 now constantly asks me to enter a "numeric passkey" to connect to this unknown device. I've tried changing the Q10 Bluetooth name, my "discoverable" option is set to off and I've deleted ALL saved Bluetooth connections, but my Q10 keeps beeping at me asking for a passkey. Short of a factory reset how do I stop this happening? It appears (to me at least) that something in the Q10 still thinks this is a valid device and wants to complete the connection.
I have unchecked "Connect to the last device when turned on" and also turned off rSAP Mode (whatever that is).
I work in a congested area with mutiple companies very close so have no option to go find the device (it only bugs me as I drive into the carpark and I am at my desk).
Software version is 10.2.1.2122.
thanks in advance for any help to stop this as Bluetooth is basically useless right now for me at work.

If you put in 0000 as passcode, does it pair?
So a follow up to this (and using the question you asked). Taking the question about can I connect I did connect to the device again and then turned "Handsfree Calling" off in the Device Details. This seems to leave the device present, but unconnected. It is no longer bugging me, which is something. I'd rather not have it present at all of course, but that seems to be hard!
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this as a long term solution?
Many Thanks,

How do keep certain active items from appearing in the dock?

I have a few things set as startup items (a backup utility, StickyNotes, a temperature monitor, etc.). I want these things to run, but I don't want them taking up space in my dock because once they're running, I never need to click on their dock icons. It just makes my dock harder to see. This is probably a simple question, but how do I keep them active but prevent them from taking up room in the dock? Thanks!
Mike

From what I understand, all that "Dockless" does is set 'LSUIElement' (or maybe 'NSUIElement') to "1" in the target app's "Info.plist" file. The manual way works for me for "Stickies.app" in 10.3.9, so it should work with "Dockless" as well. And it appears that the keyboard shortcuts for "Quit" or "New Note" remain active despite the absence of the application specific menubar so it might even remain functional.
When making changes to the "Info.plist" file, it is often necessary to go through extra steps to make "Launch Services" aware of the change. As mentioned above, duplicating the app might be one method - often after duplication of the app, the changes will be found to be in effect for the new copy but not necessarily for the original. Sometimes opening up the application package, navigating through "Contents" > "MacOS" and double-clicking on the unix executable file will cause the change to take effect without duplicating the app. One method that usually works well is running 'lsregister' from the command line, but usually that is not necessary. If (and only if) the modified "Stickies.app" has replaced the original in the default location, the relevant command (entered using "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app") would be:<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco'; overflow:auto; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:500px">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/ A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -f -v /Applications/Stickies.app</pre>If a copy has been modified, just substitute the appropriate path to the modified version of the app...

How do i stop previously purchased items from downloading repeatedly?

My wife has an Intel Macbook. Whenever she opens iTunes it immediately starts to download her previous purchases, video and audio, equalling some 200+ files. I've tried allowing the files to download, then deleting them and stopping the downloads before they can seriously get going but no matter what I do they start downloading again either later in that session or the next time she starts iTunes. This has happened with the previous two or three versions of iTunes and continues with the current version.
These are all files she's seen/heard and has no intention of ever accessing again. Is there some way to permanently delete them so that we don't have to keep dealing with this issue?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

It turns out that this is not an uncommon problem. After a lot of searching on the net I came across these two solutions. In both you have to allow the entire song, video, etc. to download. Once the download is complete DO NOT sync your device, instead mark every one of the unwanted items as Read or Watched. Now sync your device (the files should not be copied to it) and go back to iTunes to see if the file is automatically deleted (as far as I know this only happens with podcasts). If the file is deleted your problem should be solved but if not select the file(s), hit Command + delete and choose the move to trash option for the file(s).
Restart iTunes and check to see if the same file is downloading again. If not, you should be okay but if it is then you're trying the second method.
Allow the file to download and do everything as in the first method except when it comes to deleting the file(s) navigate to your iTunes folder where the file is stored and physically delete it from there. Restart iTunes and see what happens.
I can't really speak for how well the second method works as the first method worked for me but I wanted to give both options in case it didn't work for someone else.

How do I stop a new tab from appearing that tells me to update to the latest verson of a video player.

This tab comes up every time I start Firefox, and often several times in a row.

This can be caused by a bad add-on or other malware. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning out bad add-ons. Sorry for the length -- it's not as bad as it looks:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

These pop-up ads for "WeFeedback" are all over, around, and interweaved throughout my facebook wall. How can I stop this annoying ad from appearing? I have a pop-up blocker on and I disabled third party cookies.

Every time I go to Facebook, these "We Feedback" ads pop up. They appear throughout my post every other post. They appear on each side of my wall. I logged on to them and posted a comment and said that what they are doing is commendable. But STOP YOUR ADS, NOW!!!

Install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
Also, do you have McAfee Privacy Service installed? It disables the Firefox popup blocker. Disable it by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions.
Please also visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary. Outdated plugins expose your system to exploits. See the following security bulletins:<br><br>

Stop iTunes desktop icon from appearing after update

Any way to configure this behaviour?
I like an uncluttered desktop and have the shortcuts where I like them to be. On every update however, the iTunes desktop icon appears on my desktop, and it's one of those little things that is really annoying.
Thanks,

Hi
This icon is created as part of the installer, as Wally said, there is no way to stop this.
It's not too difficult to delete the icon anyway

How do I stop a mini-popup from appearing when I mark text?

When I drag across text to mark it for copying, or click somewhere to start a mark which will be completed by a shift-click, a mini popup often oblterates the area, offering me "copy", "move" etc, and the pop-up cannot be moved to allow completion of the mark, but can be removed only by clicking on the edge of the window, which loses my marking, so I must start again and often suffer a similar pop-up, with the same result. (The pop-up offers no facilities which are not more easily obtained otherwise.) How can I defend against it?

I don't think that's a built-in feature of Firefox. It could be part of a particular web site's editor or it could be added by an add-on.
To quickly see whether it is from an add-on, you could try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that return selections to normal behavior?

How do I stop the side toolbar from appearing every time I open a pdf in Acrobat DC?

Right side tool bar is annoying in Acrobat DC . How can this be fixed?

Hi, VP JonRerera.
1. This is a very ugly design -- I understand Adobe wants users to pay money for those functions, but make it occupy users' precious screen space by default is a very awkward way.
2. Acrobat DC does not really "remember" the last state!! Every time, when we open a pdf file, the tool pane will be on the right. You are wrong with your product !
3. As an computer software engineer, I do not think fixing this one takes ~3 months. It only need to switch the default mode, unless Adobe is unwilling to do it.
4. People have figured out how to solve the problem (smarter than Adobe engineer??)
Solution by tmmcentyre
Go to the install directory, i.e." C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU". Create a new subfolder (I used "Disabled"). Move 3 files from the "ENU" folder into the new "Disabled" folder: AppCenter_R.aapp & Home.aapp & Viewer.aapp. Open a PDF and no more Tool Pane! I originally moved just the "Viewer" file but if you clicked on "Home" or "Tools" on the toolbar you couldn't go back to the "Document." Moving all 3 files takes care of that issue. Like a lot of people I don't and won't ever use any of the tools. I just want a reader. Let me know if this works for you.
The new "right hand toolbar" in Acrobat DC is always on by default, proving instant access to frequently used tools. That said, we're definitely hearing a # of customers that want Acrobat DC to "remember" the last state. So if you close it, it'll remain closed when you open it next. Looking to have a fix in place in next ~3 months here.

How do I stop my text messages from appearing on my sons iPhone?

I have an iPhone 4 and my so has an iPhone 5. My other son has an iPod touch. Text messages are showing up on our devices when we weren't texting each other. I don't want to see my sons messages and vice versa. I turned off the cloud and it doesn't help.

I would guess you are probably sharing an apple ID account with your sons and it is using the imessage feature to send to all devices using that account. This article explains it, but you can shut it off from settings > messages.

Resizing echosign widgets embedded into a webpage also stop the green prompt from appearing

Hello all I am new here so go easy! We are currently playing around with a few company's who offer online document signing I really like how easy echosign is to manage and the way it creates the widgets but I have a few issues which I would love some help with.
So I am creating the form in acrobat pro XI then opening it in echosign to convert to a widget all is good on this part but when I embed the Java into my website the form displays smaller than it should be this then means the user has to use the zoom function which cuts off the viewable page this wouldn't be so bad but when you move the form to see which box to enter information the form jumps up. it's really not very user friendly for users filling in the form, the ability to resize the widget would solve this problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Richard

Thank you Jat
Is there any chance this will be implemented in the future, most people I have spoken with about this have recommended Docusign for this reason but I much prefer echosign.
Thanks again for the speedy reply.

How can I stop the download dialog from appearing every time I open Firefox 5.o latest version?

Ever since I downloaded Firefox 5.0 the other day I get the download dialog every time I start Firefox 5.0.1. I told the download dialog to save Firefox 5.0.1 when I downloaded it. If I now say yes to the dialog it will download and save a new copy of the program like 5.0.1 (1). If I say cancel on the dialog I keep getting the dialog every time I start Firefox 5.0.1.

I have heard that Norton released an update patch for Firefox 5.0 on Tuesday 06-21 when Firefox 5.0 was released. ''(versus taking their normal six to eight weeks)'' Some Norton users have reported that the toolbar may not work if the Norton patch was installed before Firefox 5.0, instead if after Firefox 5.0 was already installed.
