Too much authentication on my Mac. How can I disable the messages?

Got a shiny new iMac. Somehow I set it up so that I have to authenticate way too much stuff, like emptying the trash. On my Macbook all I have to authenticate is SW installation. How do I fix it do there is less authentication?

Click on the Finder to activate, select Preferences from the Finder menu, click on Advanced icon in the toolbar, uncheck the middle two options. That's all you can disable. The rest is for security purposes.

How can i disable the message "leave page / stay on page"

How can i disable the message "leave page / stay on page" please explain step by step if if it involved inserting java script.
Thanks

These three userscripts are along the same lines as the one link to above:
* [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/180752 AllowPageClose] - recently posted, appears to run a timer to watch for changes and make sure it's really dead
* [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/121551 Disable - remove onbeforeunload]
* [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/98260 Kill Sure Want To Nav Away]
None of the four scripts has any mechanism for site exceptions built into it, but you can make exceptions using Greasemonkey's user settings tab. You do that using the script's Options dialog. You can do that from the Add-ons page, User Scripts category. Either:
* Monkey toolbar button > Manage User Scripts
* Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Alt+a) > User Scripts
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > User Scripts
Then click the Options button for the relevant script. On the User Settings tab, in the Excluded Pages box, you can enter the site that you want to carve out of the script. Note that in order to match all pages on the site, you need to use the wildcard character (*) as shown in the attached screen shot.

How can I disable the shift-click slow motion special effects in Mac OS 10.6?

How can I disable the slow motion special effects that occur when you do something and hold shift? (By the way, the terminal command doesn't work in 10.6)

I'd like to know how to do this now too since the terminal command doesn't work in Lion / ML. Anyone know how?
And Leroy - the reason is because I have custom hot keys configured and the shift key is a key I want to use for this command. I would like to know how to disable the slow motion effect permanently since I never need it and would certainly like to use my shift key as a modifier for various keyboard commands.

Is there a limit for the apps that i purchased or i can purchase as much i want? and how can i know the capacity it's taking? Thank you

Yes you can buy whatever you want if your credit card is in good standing.
Before you buy, read the size of the download in iTunes/App/iBook Store.
Rule of thumb, you need to reserve about 10% of your total space.

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
Thanks.

I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted. But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
Have you looked at Capture One? It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

How can I disable the system feature which automatically restarts applications i had open during a previous session ?

How can I disable the system feature which automatically restarts applications i had open during a previous session ?

When you log out, uncheck the box to reopen applications. If you're still using 10.7.3, then you will have to uncheck the back with each shutdown or restart.
10.7.4 update was suppose to fix it that when you uncheck the box, it should remain unchecked for restarts after that.

Open up a terminal (use spotlight to search for 'terminal')
Find the process ID of the HP Device monitor by doing
ps -eo pid,command | grep "HP Device Monitor"
The process id will be the number that is printed. Sometimes you may see two results, the correct result to use should print "/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor"
Then using the number you got from the first step, run the following command.
sudo kill -9 <pid>; sudo rm -rf "/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor"
You will be prompted for your admin password.
Below is an example of when I ran it:
John-MacBook-Pro:~ john$ ps -eo pid,command | grep "HP Device Monitor"
90509 /Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor
90513 grep "HP Device Monitor"
John-MacBook-Pro:~ john$ sudo kill -9 90509; sudo rm -rf "/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor"

How can I disable the memory sharing with the video?

how can I disable the memory sharing with the graphic card? it makes me impossible to run a software, grandMA2, on windows 7 installed and run via bootcamp. where should I look for changing the preferences of memory and video, on lion or on windows7? thank you

so what do you think. I run a software on windows 7 running via bootcamp on my mbp, but I can't open it. the software is compatible with windows 7 on mac. I tried opening it as administrator or changing the compatibility options, like running it as windows xp, and changing the resolution of the video. it can't build the window and then it crashes. on internet I found a compatibility list of the software where it says please do not use any shared memory for the graphic card. what does it mean? I have just to remove the check in automatic graphics switching? what should I try to do? thank you.

How can i disable the internal speakers without voiding the warranty?

The students here annoy other students trying to study, I have made an extension for the headphone so that it is mounted under the monitor, facing the front and hot glued the headphone jack to the back, but the students ripped out the extension and threw it away so that they could play very awful music and annoy everyone.
How can I disable the internal speakers on our imacs without voiding warranty? There has to be a way!
Thanks-

Have you considered corporal punishment? One instructor I had in high school, when he had detention duty, played classical music an operas all during detention. He was quite "evil". He would have some slow "sleepy" music going for a bit, then it would throw in something to wake every one up like the 1812 Overture or something, and repeat this a few times...and have the music loud enough to prevent talking. Many detention-ees thought that was "cruel and unusual punishment." (LOL)
But to your question. Since opening the case would normally void the warranty (unless you can find a empathetic Apple technician), what I would suggest is a "sleeve". Imagine some sheet metal and form it into a rectangular tube. The tube would closely follow the shape of the iMac covering all the cable ports. Then bolt the tube and iMac to the table. (Or at the very least, bolt the tube to the iMac.) Basically, make it so that there little room between the tube and iMac, that no one could access the ports without removing the tube. You'll also need to secure the cables to the tube so that no one can just pull out the cables, yet leave enough slack to allow for removal of the tube for maintenance. Even if the metal is not a full tube, but the Mac and metal is bolted to the table in such a way as to prevent access to the ports could be sufficient deterrent. If metal is not possible, then perhaps plastic or wood.
I realize that is requires some work, and there is a drawback as pranksters could start dropping stuff inside the tube. Perhaps just have a clear plastic "wall" preventing all physical access to the Mac. Only a USB extension cable for the keyboard/mouse. Use Remote Disk sharing to mount CDs, if necessary.
Some thoughts, anyway. Good luck!

A properly formed question, with some idea of what you're trying to accomplish would be a huuuuge help.

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
I sure would like to decide about that myself.
Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
Hope this can help you.
