Turn off "animation"?

So one of my favorite tricks is to being able to hit shift-spacebar to get an image of what a file is without actually opening it. In Snow Leopard, that just snapped open. I now have a new computer with Yosemite and it's a verrry slow reveal, really unnecessarily so. I've looked in ever Preference pane and I can think of.. any idea how to turn that off and just have it open 'normally'.
Thanks!

Hello imcarmel,
It sounds like you are using trying to use Quick Look to see what the files are before opening them. Try just pressing the spacebar without holding shift to preview a document so it will not open so slowly. Let me know if that works for you or you are still having the same slow to open action.

Turn off animations in Mail

Hi,
is there any way to turn off the animations when sending a mail in Mail?
Any help is appreciated!

Your design and animations copy the gmail style. Why should i go with apple, if i like google. Than i probably will go with android. Your os6 mail design was more asketic but perfecly balanced.
Give option to return to os6, please.
I do not need another phone looking lije iphone.
Many people like me just do not have time and will to s.it in forums like this.
But there is no one that told me he likes os7 better than os6.
Fairly.
Thanks
(Enough for today)

Turn Off Animations in Mountain Lion Mail

Someone, please write a fix this. I need a thoroughbred, not a circus.
I write as many as 100 email messages a day. Everyday I check here and on MacUpdate to see if there is a fix for Mail to turn off the bouncing new message window. I can't take it anymore. Sometimes I foget to close my eyes and I'm seasick.
Following the bouncing ball for downloads isn't as bad as the bouncing and swooshing messages, but I could do without that too.
On the upside, my several years old iMac Intel is so fast I hardly know I've touched the keys before type appears on the screen.
Adding animations can't be necessary to speeding up the system, right?

Thank you. I'm afraid these are not bugs and hoping a user will write a fix.
I found the following string on another rmessage and put it into Terminal and hit return/enter , retarted mail, but nothing changed.
defaults write com.apple.Mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool YES

Turn off animation effects to prevent nausea?

I've spent an hour poking through the forums, but couldn't find this issue addressed (maybe I'm using the wrong keywords), anyway:
I just got an iPod Touch yesterday and while I love it in theory, in practice I can't use it for more than a few minutes without getting motion sickness from all the sliding and flipping when switching between screens and momentum scrolling. Is there a way to turn off these effects or reduce them? I would like to be able to use this device without wanting to vomit for hours afterward just because of interface animations.

Thanks for the responses (well, most of them -- I'm not getting drugged up because Apple can't design their operating system without "bling," heh).
It's not the finger brushing. I have a similar (unfortunate) reaction to modern computer games with moving 3D graphics (e.g. first-person shooters and those explore-your-surroundings type of games).
I have turned off the effects in apps like Stanza, but unfortunately just navigating the apps and reading my mail (unnecessary sliding pages) is barf-inducing.
Rats. I can scroll as long as I don't lift my finger so the momentum scrolling isn't engaged, but I'd really like to get rid of the sliding effects when switching between screens/home pages.

Turn off animation in Time Machine?

Does anyone know how to turn off the animation when browsing through files in time machine? I can not stand to look at it because it makes me nauseous. I am hoping there is a way where you can click the date or the window you want and it would instantly go there rather than watching all of the windows fly by. Thanks!

Come here for advice instead of Best Buy.
If you are encrypting a drive that already has data on it, then it will take a long time. You can continue to use the drive, and even shut off your machine, but it will still take a long time. The best approach is to erase a new external drive immediately and encrypt it right away. Then the encryption will only take a few seconds.
Either way, once it is encrypted, it will work fine and be just as fast an an unencrypted drive. As long as you know the password to the drive, you can restore it to any machine. You can even store the password in iCloud Keychain if you want. I keep all of my drives encrypted. Then, even if someone steals the drive, they will never get the data.

Turn off animation replying to mail?

Is there a key combo when starting Mail that will supress this? I know I can do it with a write command in Terminal but I'd prefer a key combo instead. Thanks

How can I turn off Mail's Compose and Reply animations in fullscreen?

Does anyone know how to turn off the animated opening of a "compose new mail" window when in fullscreen mode?
I'm using Mail 6.5 under Mountain Lion. When I'm in fullscreen mode and I either compose a new email, or reply to an email, the new mail window springs up from the bottom of the screen in an animated way. I would prefer it to just appear.
I was able to disable this animation when not in fullscreen mode by typing from a Terminal prompt:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool TRUE
However, I cannot find a way to disable it while I'm in fullscreen mode.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

The only gesture that is stand is the two finger tap the goes to mission control. You can turn that off in System Preferences > mouse.
Also check the second column in System Preferences > Mission control > Show Desktop:
Set to "-" as a secondary click here could cause the issue.

How can I turn off the page turn animations on an iPhone4 ?

iBooks for iPhone doesn't seem to have the option to turn this off. I'd really like to since I set the font size quite high and turn every 1-3 seconds. The animation every second produces headaches after longer periods of reading. Thanks for any helpful answers.

The editing menu doesn't come up when you double tap. It comes up when you press and hold. It can't be turned off.

Enough Already.... Turning off Eye Candy Animations

Hi....
I love this app...
Now that is out a the way...
It kills me to have to watch all those wild animations.... Fades etc... Every time I move the mouse from one window to another...
I would like to turn them off...
WHY on earth do we need to see a clip being disabled.... FADE OUT... Just set the opacity to ZERO instead of wasting processing power.
Moving the mouse from i.e. even lib. to timeline makes the timeline turn "fade in" like some 5$ flash website programmed by an amateur...
Does anyone REALLY wanna watch the inpected and color boards.. Slide on... Or would you prefer to just have them appear instantly ?
If anyone knows how to turn off all those eye candy animations I would love to know about it...

No... I can turn off skimming all I want, hitting i.e V to disable a clip makes it fade out to a state of gray instead of just being gray...
In the colorboard click on correction one's right-arrow to open the color correction tools.. It will slide on...
all those effects...
They look nice... FIRST TIME you use FCPX -- then they become a horros

Any way to turn off only the parallax effect while enabling the home screen/folders zoom in/out animations?

I've just updated to iOS 7.1 and I had thought that there might be an option to turn off only the parallax effect while keeping all the home screen animations (the zooming effects) effective?? Is there a way to do that, or are the parallax effect and the animations come together under the "Reduce Motion" option?

Now I'm enjoying the zooming effects(animations) while at the same time, extending the battery life to some extent by doing some little settings! Thanks to the valuable answer provided by Ralph (see above).
The procedure is:
Settings > Wallpapers and brightness > either choose a new wallpaper or tap one of your existing wallpapers > you can then turn on or off Perspective Zoom > tap Set
(If you turn Perspective Zoom OFF, you won't be getting the parallax effect or vice versa)
And after you complete the above steps successfully, you can say Goodbye to the useless (to me lol) and battery hungry parallax effect and enjoy the zooming (pretty amazing thing which looks good while working) at the same time!!!
But even after doing that, you can notice some parallax effect left over in the home screen, but I think that's normal (Or maybe even a bug lol). And the best part about that new option introduced in iOS 7.1 is, you can choose where you want the parallax effect to work (I mean you can either experience parallax effect in the lock screen or in the homescreen or both) It's your wish, buyt while doing the above steps, turn "OFF" the Reduce Motion in Settings>General>Accessibility>Reduce Motion>OFF
Try it @GetVladimir.com !!!

Dock animation will not turn off

I am looking for an answer to a dock problem.
Out of curiosity to see what it looked like, I turned on the dock animation feature in system preferences/dock by checking the box.
Curiosity satisfied I unchecked the box to turn it off but it will not turn off. I have re-started, re-booted and cursed it but nothing I do will turn it off.
I check the system preferences/dock check box each time and find that the box is unchecked (so in theory the animation should not work - but it does).
Can anyone suggest an answer.
Regards
Tony

You may need to create a new user account and see if the same problem happens there.
You can also delete the Dock preference file from your home directory:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Last, you can "Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility.

Turn off stupid mail animations in mavericks

I need a way to turn off the animations in mail.app in Mavericks. In previous operating systems, a terminal command existed to do this (defaults write com.apple.mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool TRUE , and I believe DisableSendAnimations as well), but that popular terminal command, along with no-glass and perhaps some others, seems to have been disabled in Mavericks.
Does another command exist?
If not, Apple, re-enable it. These animations are horrendously stupid and a terrible design choice.

Are you referring to the new Notifications (in the upper right corner of your screen)?
If so, go to System Preferences > Notifications and drag Mail down to the "NOT in Notif. Center" Category. After that, make sure the window to the right has absolutely nothing checked:
That will stop it.

Is there any way to turn off the "zooming" animation In IOS 7?

The continual zooming / animation that occurs every time I move in and out of an app, is incredibly tiresome after a while - especially when using multiple apps for business. Is there anyway to turn this off?

No there is now way to turn off the screen animations, with the exception of the paralax effect (The moving background) which is what the Reduce Motion option is for.
If you really hate the effects, you need to submit your feedback via Apple's feedback page, http://www.apple.com/feedback
They don't really monitor these forums for this type of feedback. There are a lot of threads that address this problem and some people have even reported becoming motion sick because of the zooming in and out effects.

Turn off Unnecessary Animations iOS7

My god it takes me so long to navagate through my phone now. Does anyone know of a way to turn off these fluffy animations??? I just want my phone to unlock, I don't care about watching the tiles fly in. In addition is there anyway to change the folders back, what use is a folder if i have to wait for it to load through an animation and then scroll through pages of tiles. Frustrated!

Finally put in 7.0.3 weeks after most of the rest of you had this discussion.
I swear, like a complete goon, I sat here for 10 minutes trying to swipe the icons for the apps, upward. Finally dawned on me to swipe the 'screen shot' of the app upward.
As I just posted on Facebook, I wonder how my 2012 Hyundai Elantra is going to get along with my iPhone 4S now that I've updated the OS. I'm guessing little or no difference, but that car is pretty stupid in doing some of the clever things it does.

How to turn off window animations?

How do you turn off the window animations in Mountain Lion. It feels slow and I can't start typing or deleting things until the window is finished animated. For example when in adobe light room, when I hit the delete key to delete a photo I then have to wait until the animation stops before comfirming the delete. In Snow Leopard it was seamless, much faster and it kept track of what I had typed even if the window was not up yet. Thanks for any help
