Turn Off Auto format that drops last line of a paragraph to next page

When I am writing multi-page papers, I will occasionally experience an auto-format annoyance where, if the paragraph I have written ends with just half a life of text on the next page, pages automatically drops the last full line of text down to the next page as well. I suppose pages does not want the short line to be lonely, but it leaves a large gap at the bottom of the page - particularly when the lines are double-spaced. I often have page limits on my assignments and am trying to squeeze as much in as possible int he space I am permitted, so losing these lines of text can be a great annoyance. How do I turn this feature off? Thanks.

Pages: how do I turn off auto formatting and auto indenting!

I've got Pages 5.2.2 and for the life of me can't figure out how to turn off auto formatting!
When I hit return to move text to a new line, Pages automatically indents the new line, creating a new paragraph which is not what I want at all.
I'm using a blank template and have not altered the default settings at all. Any geniuses out there who can help?

If not already present, turn on your document rulers via View > Show Rulers. Does a ¯ symbol appear by itself, or is it accompanied by an inverted triangle below it? The first symbol indicates that you have a First Indent set to other than 0. The inverted triangle says that you also have the Left indent set to the First indent amount.
In Pages, if a First indent is set, any hard return will invoke a new paragraph with an auto-indent corresponding to the First Indent amount. First lines will be indented, and subsequent lines are flush left margin (unless Left indent is not 0). In word processing, we only do hard returns when we deliberately want a new paragraph. If you want to force an end of a sentence, without forming a new paragraph, with/out auto-indent effect, use either shift+enter, or control+enter.
The First, and Left indent settings in Pages v5.2.2 are here:
Toolbar > Format > Text > Layout

How can I turn off auto formatting whilst working in the SQL Worksheet?

Friends,
Hope you can help with a quick question.
Is it possible to stop the auto formatting of SQL statements in the SQL worksheet?
e.g. When I type select * from dual it auto formats to becomes SELECT * FROM DUAL when I hit return.
I am using SQL Developer 2.1.1.64
Thanks in advance

How can I turn off the url that continues to print at the bottom of the page?

Anytime I print, a URL appears at the bottom of the page. How do I turn this off?

It's not something that you turn off, there isn't a setting for it, you will just have to try to avoid touching the top part of the screen. Apart from that you can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How do I turn off auto-formatting {Bullets} in Word Processing mode

I am currently working on project and keeps automatically formatting with numbers or letters. How do I turn this feature off? I want to only have my typed text appear, no auto text.
Thanks in Advance,

Go to *Pages Preferences* (Command–,) and under the Auto-Correction tab, deselect the checkbox beside *Automatically detect list* option. Close the preferences dialog box, and you will have no headache thereafter.

Can find my iPhone be turned on remotely? I had it turned off, and twice in the last month I've found that it is turned on and someone was tracking my location. I'm a little freaked out!

Can find my iPhone be turned on remotely? I had it turned off, and twice in the last month I've found that it is turned on and someone was tracking my location. I'm a little freaked out! Is there any way that someone could be turning "find my iPhone" on remotely? I was under the assumption that the only way to turn the service on was from my phone itself.. Is there any way that my phone is somehow resetting itself to a time when the app was turned on? I'm just grabbing straws here... I have no idea. I just know that the location arrow came on at the top of my phone, and it showed that someone was tracking my phone at that very moment... Any help would be appreciated!

HT4098 How do I turn off auto-renewing subscriptions on my iPod Touch 4th Generation? I have followed all the directions that have been suggested.

How do I turn off auto-renewing subscriptions on my iPod Touch 4th Generation. I have followed all the suggestions, but my device does not follow those prescribed steps. Can somone please help me. I'm not very computer savy.

If you go to yur account setting what do you see? The app subscription says:
• Auto-renew may be turned off by going to your Account Settings after purchase and must be turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period.
If that does not exist, and since eHarmony was not helpful, contact iTunes

How do I turn off auto-numbering?

I want to turn off auto-numbering in iWeb. I tried doing it in the Inspector under Text/lists by selecting "none" but that didn't work. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Old Toad. I'll try it. While continuing to work the problem last night, I discovered if I hold down "shift" when I hit "return" to go to the next line, it suppresses numbering and I can do it myself, the old-fashioned way. I remember seeing that trick in another iWeb context in a Google search, but it appears to work on numbering, too.
Hey, if I want numbering, it's surely simple enough that I can do it myself, just like if I want to type the word "the"! I'm a touch typist, and I can fly when I get going, and any sort of "auto" function trips me out of the flow, actually making what I'm doing harder, not easier. The "shift-return" solution will also make it harder, until I get it down pat. Maybe one of these days the propellor beanies will bring in an actual user for a consult before they force such dubious improvements on the whole population. I'm sure there are folks who think this is cool, but that doesn't mean it's progress.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Best,
Steve

HT4098 i have turned off auto-renewal for magazine. it's also confirmed in my apple id account setting, but itunes keep taking money from me each month. ***?

i have turned off auto-renewal for magazine. it's also confirmed in my apple id account setting, but itunes keep taking money from me each month. ***? can someone clear me out? i've spending money for nothing!

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting the ipod to PC?

My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

A couple of ways...
Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
Or...
Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.

Turn off auto-correction in 2.0?

Is there a way to turn off auto-correction in firmware 2.0? I live in a non-English speaking country and most of my typing is in non-English. It's really annoying when my iPod tries to correct every other word that I type.

No, not yet, maybe with the next firmware?

Why does ipad dim after turning off auto dim

my ipad continues to dim slightly back and forth despite the fact i turned off auto dim, why?

Have you tried closing the scrabble app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the scrabble game 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the scrabble app to close it (you could also 'close' the apps that are in the taskbar), and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
A third option would then be to delete and re-install the app and see if that makes any difference
