Three little dots

Dear all
Does anyone know a way of stopping Lightroom doing it's three little dots thing when browsing thumbnails? While using it to browse or manage my images the machine slows to a crawl until it has finished.
In order to see my files and move them around I do not need the thumbnails to be fully optimised and waiting for them to sort themselves out is a major waste of time.
I am aware this feature will also need to be turned on when working on the photo's, perhaps a little tick box would do the trick.
I have "automatically write changes.." turned off.
Best regards
John Ponter

Render 'Standard Previews' and they ought to go away.

  • Regarding Pages charts, when I try to 'build' a 3D chart all I get is little dots but not graphics.  No problems with 2D charts though. Guess my question is "Help?"

    Sorry for the delay getting back to this.
    Thanks to Fruhulda and Peter for their comments regarding the refusal of Pages to let me make 3D charts. 
    In answer to the questions put to  me in this regard :
    1. Pages version : Pages '09  v.4.1 (923)
    2. Mac O/S :          v.10.6.8 
    3. 3D chart :          Can't find a 'name', but upright bars with rounded corners ???
    4. Moved apps :    Not that I'm aware of!  All should be as installed off the disc.
    5. A note :              I have been able to create these in the past - related to a SW update? 
                          and ... can create these charts perfectly in Keynote (go figure).
    Thanks to all.

  • On the calender. When I set a appointment date up and it puts a little dot to show the date I saved. How can I change the color of that dot ?

    What you're describing can't be achieved using the built-in comments summary function of Acrobat, but it can certainly be done if a custom-made script it used to generate the summary because then you're in full control of what's included in it and what's not.

  • I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

    Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing.  Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade.  The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back.  When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again.  Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

  • Little Dot on iPod touch?

    I've noticed a little dot behind the glass on the iPod's screen. It's about where the whole in the case is at the top left corner:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=br owse&node=home&nplm=TP818LL/A&cid=CDM-US-iPod-C0002911-114439&EmailPageName=5829C_touch_acc&EmailOID=175554&cp=114439&sr=em
    Anyone know what that is?

    so rthat if you have auto-brightness on (under settings => brightness),the brightness will adjust itself according to the brightness where you are! An example would be if you are in the dark place and turn on your touch the brightness would be dim, if you turn on your touch in rthe bright place, the brightness is set automatically to the bright light! Therefore its called ambient light sensor!

  • Mysterious little dot

    Earlier today, I was browsing the internet, and I noticed a little white dot on my screen. After trying to wipe it off, I realize that it is not a physical object. Since it doesn't go away when I change webpages, switch apps, etc, I figure it's just a dead pixel. Meh, I say to myself.
    But tonight, at some point I press F11 to temporarily hide all windows on screen, and I notice that this little white dot slides off the screen as if it were a window. So I start quitting applications to see which one the dot was rooted in. But after quitting all apps (except Finder, of course) the little dot is still there.
    After a little investigation using Grab and Photoshop, I find that it is not just one white pixel, but a 3x3 translucent box with one solid white pixel in the upper left corner.
    I saved the screenshots for this forum, then I restarted my MacBook. Fortunately, the little dot went away. But I'm still submitting this post just to see if anyone here has any idea what made the little dot appear or where it came from. It's just plain curiousity at this point.
    Thanks

    I just got my macbook pro and have the same problem. The only thing is that I have around 5 little dots showing and I tried clicking on them but that didn't work to make them go away. I got my mac on June 13th 2008 and I will be going back to Apple tomorrow to see what can be done about this. After spending close to $4,000 on this machine, I feel that something needs to be done about it.

  • Suddenly my entire screen now has little dots on it that flash back and forth between pink and blue. What's up?

    I was online (on Facebook) when suddenly my coputer screen developed these little dots--uniform across it not just in a browser window--and they started flashing back and forth between blue and pink. The computer froze up and I had to reboot. It hasn't gone away and it's terribly annoying. What should I try to do?

    It may be a problem with your video electronics - possibly heat related. Shutdown the PB & leave it overnight. Then startup & see if the dots appear.

    Quit iTunes. Open a Finder window. Click on "Go" in the menu bar. Hold down the option key and the Library folder pops up. Click on that. Go to the Preferences folder. Find and move the file "com.apple.iTunes.plist" to the desktop. Open iTunes (iTunes will behave like you're opening it for the first time but you'll have all of your contents). Try the store again.
