Stop gnome 3.2 from trying to adjust brightness [SOLVED]

I see this error a lot in my .xsession.errors:
(gnome-settings-daemon:1207): power-plugin-WARNING **: failed to restore backlight to 100: out of brightness range: 100, has to be 8 -> 0
This is probably because I have samsung-tools and easy-slow-down-manager installed from AUR to get the backlight controls of my samsung laptop to work.
Does anybody know how I get rid of this error?
I looked in org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power but did not find a way to stop gnome from trying to adjust the brightness. I tried disabling the power plugin altogether by setting 'active' to false, but this made it impossible to switch brightness manually.

I managed to solve the issue by applying this patch: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661287.
Still wondering why it didn't show up in google searches though.

How do I stop Logic Pro X from trying to load a 32 bit plug-in that's no longer installed

How do I stop Logic Pro X from trying to load a 32 bit plug-in that's no longer installed? I noticed it occurring on projects where I used Miroslav Philharmonik. I keep getting prompted when opening the projects. I uninstalled Miroslav thinking it would stop, but it didn't.

Assuming you are talking about the boxed set of Logic Studio (Logic Pro 9) on DVDs the only solutions are to either borrow or purchase an external CD/DVD drive and use that with your new MBP.
Amazon sells a very reasonably priced 'Amazon Basics' external CD/DVD drive suitable for the process...
http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Portable-External-Optical-Drive/dp/B003M0NT1M /ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416924310&sr=8-1&keywords=CD+DVD+external+drive+amazon+ basics
Do NOT try and copy Logic across from your Mac to your MBP using something like Time Machine or Migration Assistant... 99% of the time, doing so results in all kind of weird issues later on.
Just install Logic pro 9 plus all it's content from scratch using the DVDs provided with Logic Studio Boxed set.....

Booting from external, need to stop bad internal drive from trying to mount

I have an Intel iMac with a bad internal drive. It won't mount, but makes several clicks every few seconds trying to access the drive. Eventually I will take it in for repair, but I don't want to be without it for several days and it is working fine with the external drive.
It's not a huge problem, but the clicking gets annoying. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can disable the drive or prevent the computer from trying to access it? I don't want to physically disable it unless it is a simple procedure. I'm hoping there is a software solution via OS X or Terminal commands.
I should say that I found some instructions to prevent a drive from mounting, but it requires the drive's UUID which I can't get unless it mounts. Also, I don't know if this will stop the clicking. Anyway, here are the instructions. Perhaps there is a way to do something similar without knowing the UUID or by knowing the UUID of the working drives? I appreciate any help.
1. Open Disk Utility
2. Select the bad drive, then click the Info button
3. Copy the Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) code
4. Open a Terminal window and type: sudo pico /etc/fstab
5. Enter your password
6. Enter the line below (using your own UUID):
UUID=CDB15826-88A3-36AC-8009-3E71355F0B18 none hfs rw,noauto
(taken from http://www.macseven.com/files/20070719how_to_prevent_a_drive_volume_frommounting.html)

I don't know if it can be done using software solution (I think not). It's possible to remove the drive physically but it is rather tricky. see this thread for instructions

How do I stop my MacBook Pro from trying to connect to a home Server?

My Macbook Pro keeps trying to connection to an external harddrive server that I run at home when I am not home. I get an error that the server is not available. I checked the console and it gives an error of AFP_GetServerInfo - can not connect 64. I have removed from my favourite servers connections, I have deleted all programs that start automatically but nothing seems to fix the issue. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm running a 2014 13" Macbook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.3.
Cheers,

There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be very hard to resolve. Please take whichever of the following steps is applicable that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
Step 1
If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. Known offenders are "1Password" and "Adobe Resource Synchronizer."
Step 2
If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
Step 3
You may have created aliases to files or folders on the server. If you don't know whether you did that, you can find all aliases as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemContentType=com.apple.alias-file
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
The search window will now show all aliases on mounted volumes. You can see the target of each alias by selecting it and opening the Info window. Delete any that refer to the server.
Step 4
Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use. If in doubt, delete them all and add back the ones you want.
Step 5
Copy the line below to the Clipboard as in Step 3:
~/Library/PDF Services
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
Step 6
Open the folder
~/Library/Preferences
as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
Log out and back in again, and test.
Step 7
Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, bookmarks in the Preview application, and PDF files created by Adobe Acrobat with embedded scripts.
Try rebuilding the iPhoto library, if applicable.
If you get the alert when connecting an iOS device with iTunes, re-create your iTunes library and playlists. See also this discussion.
Step 8
Resources such as images or sounds stored on the server may have been added to various applications. Examples would be pictures added to Contacts and custom sounds added to Mail. The range of possibilites here is practically infinite, so I can't be more specific. You might get a hint by launching the Console application and looking for error messages that appear at the same time as the alerts.
Step 9
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. Start up in safe mode. Test. After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Step 10
Launch the Directory Utility application. Depending on what version of OS X you have, you may be able to do that by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. If that doesn't work, triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices
Right-click or control-click the selected text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder named "CoreServices" will open. The Directory Utility application is in that folder, or in a subfolder named "Applications".
In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and /Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 11
Open the following file as you did in the last step:
/etc/auto_master
It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master          # Use directory service
/net               -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home               auto_home     -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers     -fstab
/-               -static
If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window.

How do I stop my iphone 5 from trying to restore? I cannot access my phone.

How to stop our SPG504G's from trying tftp?

Hi Folks,
I'm going a little insane here - hoping someone can suggest a fix.
We have a few (10 or so) SPA504G phones in our NZ office, talking to a local cloud PABX mob. When we first set them up, I wasn't keen on statically configuring them all, given we have no IT support there, so I spent a couple of days playing, and ended up with the following:
1) Local DHCP server sets option 66 to http://ourserver.ourdomain.com/phones/nzphones/XMLDefault504G.cnf.xml
That contains:
<flat-profile><Resync_On_Reset>Yes</Resync_On_Reset><Resync_Periodic>10</Resync_Periodic><Profile_Rule>http://ourserver.outdomain.com/phones/nzphones/spa$MA.xml</Profile_Rule></flat-profile>
2) I have a PHP script handling all access to /nzphones/ which uses a template, and a local database, to take the MAC address and shove in all the relevant user-specific configuration - local ports (for reverse NAT), username, password, etc etc. I have the phones set to resync every 24 hours, so that any config updates I do only take 24 hours to get picked up, at the most.
That's all been working great for 6 months, except that one of the NZ staff happened to mention yesterday, that those reboots take about 15 minutes!
So I've been having a bit of a play, and it looks like the phones are initially ignoring the option 66, and trying to do TFTP to our DHCP server?!
Using TCPDump, I'm seeing lots of these:
192.168.64.114.1029 > 192.168.40.254.69: [udp sum ok] 50 RRQ "XMLDefault504G.cnf.xml" octet timeout 10 tsize 0
192.168.64.114.1029 > 192.168.40.254.69: [udp sum ok] 46 RRQ "XMLDefault.cnf.xml" octet timeout 10 tsize 0
I've been trawling through all the results in google, and youtube videos from cisco that I can find, but there's nothing overly in-depth to describe the exact configuration options I should be using..
Anyone happen to be doing something similar with their phones, and have figured this out?
Thanks,
Damien

At the first, don't use reserved file name XMLDefault504G.cnf.xml for your's customized configuration. Rename the file, change name in DHCP configuration.
XMLDefault504G.cnf.xml and XMLDefault.cnf.xml files are dedicated to SPCP mode configuration.
In advance, you can disable SPCP - add
SIP
to your configuration to disable SPCP autoconfiguration attempts.
Mark thread as answered if it solve your problem.

Can I stop my Mac Pro from trying to update iMovie?

After installing Mavericks, I got the message "We could not complete your update. Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum requirements." The app store icon continuously displays a red number 1 and I keep getting prompted to upgrade iMovies, but if I try, I get the same message. I don't really use iMovie so I don't care abut the update. Is there any way to tell the computer to ignore the update and stop showing it and reminding me about it?

Colored frames when adjusting brightness/contrast

Hello kind people. I am trying to adjust brightness/contrast on a short clip in my video, and I keep getting some colored frames that play when I replay the clip. I can stop at the colored clips, some are blue, and some are magenta. Anyone have an answer? I have rendered the clips, but I can't figure it out, and have never had this problem.
Thanks,
Mike.
Final Cut Pro 6.0.6

I reset the codec to Pro. All the footage I shot myself with the same camera setting. Also, I am only editing this one short clip, so it's not mixing with anything else I don't think.
I figured out a go around from my problem. Instead of going to Effects, Video Filters, Quicktime, Brightness/Contrast, I am now doing Effects, Video Filters, Image Control, Brightness. It seems to automatically take care of the contrast to make it look nice.

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

How to stop the option key from changing tools when trying to subtract from a selection?

How to stop the option key from changing my tools when I am trying to subtract from a selection?
I'm running CS3 on Mac OS Leopard, and the automatic tool switching slows me down, but even preferences doesn't show a way to turn this off.
Thanks for your help.

With any marquee tool, JUST holding down the option key should not switch tools. You need to explain the problem much more carefully, It's completely impossible to tell from your description whats going wrong.
automatic tool switching
The only preference related to this, is to do with the SHIFT KEY - "use Shift key for tool switch".

My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times what else can I try to fix it?

Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.
