Timer alarm can't be stopped.

Yesterday evening I setup an timer for about 15 minutes and after the minutes are over the alarm started and on the lockscreen I saw the icon "disable alarm". I pushed this button but nothing happened, also going into the system to the timer where I can set it it was not stoppable. I could start a new timer but no stop was possible. My only solution was to push the home button as long as siri comes up and this had stopped the timer alarm.

I understand your frustration, however remember this is a small handheld computer and things happen. User troubleshooting is a restart (power the phone off/on), reset (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release, the phone reboots) and the last two involve restoring. Most hiccups can be adjusted by a simple reset. I know you have restarted/rebooted your computer before.
Funny, my alarm tone remained what it was with the alarm I had saved prior to updating, but the Timer tone was set to Radar? Go figure.

How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

See these articles for some suggestions:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

I keep getting the an Alexa Sparky pop-up each time I open Firefox, it does not provide a "no" option... how can I permanently stop the popup?

Every time I open Firefox, I get a pop-up asking me to install the Alexa Sparky toolbar--which I do not want. The pop-up box does not offer an option to say "no" or "do not ask me again", which is VERY annoying. How can I permanently stop the popup?

How to disable extensions, Personas, and plugins
Disabling an add-on will turn it off without removing it:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions or Appearance or Plugins panel.
Select the add-on you wish to disable.
Click the Disable button.
Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
To re-enable the add-on, find it in the list of Add-ons and click Enable, then restart Firefox.

Three beeps at startup almost always indicate bad RAM. You probably need to get your RAM replaced. Bring it in to Apple for a definitive diagnosis if you are unable to run the Apple HardwareTest

Is there anyway i can put a stop to emails between a set period of time say 10pm - 6am without turning off internet connection

Is there anyway i can put a stop to emails between a set period of time say 10pm - 6am without turning off internet connection.

The only ways in iOS would be to stop using push mail or timed fetch mail and switch the account(s) to manual fetch. That way, you only get mail when you open the mail app. to use it.
Or, you could selectively disable wifi and cellular data - voice calls and SMS texts would still come through then.
Other than that, I cannot think of a way to selectively disable email by itself.

Ho w can I immediatelly stop the timer?

hello,
in my application, I am using timer.
public class newTimerTask extends TimerTask
public final void run()
initFun();
}in my program, when i enter the mainFrame, the timer must start.
I my frame, I am using one connect button. so, when i click connectButton, the timer must need to stop immediatelly.
i am using, timer.cancel();
but, the current running task is not immediately stopped.
so, the mainFrame strucked at that time, after finishing current task only, connect button effects takes place. but, also, that timer running in background.
so, how can I completely stop the timer , when i don't need.
give me some example explanations.
thank you.

This is a Swing forum, so try using the Swing Timer, it has a stop() method.
Hm, sounds like the OP has long-running tasks, though, so I suspect he's just posted in the wrong forum. If so, don't use a javax.swing.Timer.

Correct. It can't just pull the carpet out from under a running task because there's no interface for doing so, and stopping a thread is unsafe (see below). In order to be able to cancel tasks mid-way you would need to firstly configure the task to be able to do that (ie it needs a loop which checks a flag and exits gracefully) and then trip that flag when cancelling the timer. You might do this via either an interface, or a subclass of TimerTask, making sure that all tasks added to the timer implement/extend this.
Note that one implication of the "stopping a thread is unsafe" rule (again, see below) is that long-running tasks which are not loop-based (eg a JNI call which takes a long time) must be left to run their course - there is no way round this.
Thus, you need to decide whether you can just let your current task run safely in the background anyway, or whether you can reimplement your tasks to be more granular: the granularity defines where they can be stopped, they can't be stopped just anywhere.

Any good as a Meditation timer? Can use FlexTime app?

Hi,
Has any one been using their touch for a meditation alarm. For example with FlexTime app which can be set as a multiple event alarm all started and stopped as a group with one "click".
I was hot to get the iPod Touch as an alarm among all the other capabilities. I had a touch screen calculator and alarm this size years ago from Radio Shack. I really liked it until I used a bit much windex to clean the screen and it lost its capacitance.
Also was going to use as a wake up alarm until reading of problems here with that.
Can the alarm volume be changed? Would want loud to wake up. Would want subtle for meditation.

Yes thank you,
Is this you: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20879 ?
If yes I remember checking out your timer app. a few weeks ago. I have not chosen one yet. I took the trial of FlexTime.
Here is what I am after:
approximately five or six alarms
all controlled by a master start stop
variable duration for all
on the order of 3 minutes, 10 minutes, 20, 10, and 5
this allows for different visualizations in the same session or focusing on breath then on silence etc.
Your program allows for the bell tone which is good. The FlexTime just used the various Mac sounds. I was thinking I could go into iTunes and some how put in the sounds I want but that is a bit more involved than I am up for right now so I have not explored it.
Will Meditation Timer run five or six segments with one click and without having to click to stop any of the tones. One soft tone of one "strike" per segment is all I need.
I have bought a Nano in the mean time until I can decide between the touch or iphone. I am leaning toward the iphone for the camera function. Believe it or not I don't have a cell phone and don't really need one at this time.
Will Meditation Timer work on the Nano? I assume it will using iTunes. I have had some inability to play some pod-casts though.
Thanks for replying

Firefox Maximizes by Itself After Being Minimized, even if I am working on something else, it will maximize and come to the forefront of my screen...can this be stopped?

While I have the FF browser minimized and I am working on another application or in another browser, the FF browser will maximize and jump up on my screen automatically. This happens often while it is minimized. There are no pages that would seem to auto-refresh (don't think that's relevant though). The whole thing will randomly maximize for no reason. Can this be stopped?
It's annoying, especially if I am working and training people and the FF browser jumps up out of nowhere after being dormant. This has been happening for several week, it's now become bothersome.

Ya, it takes forever for it to happen. It seemed to be doing it with almost all of my add-ons... It's probably some combination of add-ons.
illumiveri, can you confirm if you have some of the same add-ons as me. I have:
* Adblock plus
* BetterPrivacy
* ChromeEdit Plus
* FindBar Tweak
* NoScript
* Tab Mix Plus
It happened like 3 times within a few hours. It's like someone or something is controlling my mac. It's disconcerting. I disabled remove cookies by timer in betterprivacy. Now let's see. Also, I upgraded to fx 7. so it was happening since 4 and even with 7.

When I try to use the clone stamp another layer of my picture is copied on the photo I'm working on. Is this a defect or is there a tool I can use to stop it and return to normal usage of the clone stamp?

When I try to use the clone stamp another layer of my picture is copied on the photo I'm working on. Is this a de@@@@fect or is there a tool I can use to stop it and return to normal usage of the clone stamp?

The "Sample Field" letters are very dim. After punching several times the right click revels "Clone stamp mode". The next little circle has a line through it and after several right clicks, it says: "turn on to ignore adjustment layers when cloning," Despite this I cannot get any kind of a response to change any of the existing entries.

When I go to a site the previous site which I visited loads at the same time. How do I stop this?

When I search for a site using Firefox the previous site that I visited loads at the same time. How do I stop this from happening?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
