Turn off icon preview for everything except pix?
I.m.o. it was a step backward in Leopard that icon previews were also made for text documents. This is nonsense. I have to see at the first glimpse what a Pages document is and what's an RTF; it's absurd to show the text preview in an icon! You can't recognize the content of a text document in 48X48, 0,01p size!
I can only turn the previews on / off for all kinds of files. But then I can't recognize pix either, which is annoying.
At the moment, I have made all extension visible, but reading an extension is not as fast as seeing a file's icon.
*Does anyone know an app, hack or anything to turn previews off for everything except pictures?*
Thank you very much
Peter
Baltwo,
Thanks for trying to help me out.
To give you some more detail:
If, for example, in Excel 2004 I do CMD-O, then a window pops up to open a file. Top left of that window I can select the view mode for that window (3 possibilities). Now, if it is ´list´or ´columns´ view I indeed only see generic icons. However, if I select ´icons´ view (leftmost possibility of the 3), I see all icons change into previews. This despite the fact that in finder I disabled icon preview for all view modes (including ´icon´ view).
Problem is the same in any application when opening files in ´icon´ view mode. A bit annoying.
Thanks,
HansC

Turn off icon preview on all folders?
Looking for a good way to turn off icon previews on all folders, especially on a networked drive.
If I open a folder and choose View > Show View Options, I can turn off the icon previews for that folder, but the others remain unchanged. (Even if I push the use as defaults button)
Is there a script to command that I can run to change this on all folders recursively?Thanks!!! I had been looking for like 25mins before i luckily ran into this thread!

Way To Turn off mpeg preview in Finder?
I have mpeg videos that are close to 4 gigs in size. Whenever I select "get info" to find out the file size, it hangs the computer for about 2 minutes as it tries to load the video in the preview area.. Anyway to turn off this preview function?
Try opening an info window on some other file and click on the triangular icon next to the preview header to close the preview. Finder should remember this pref next time round.

Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my General settings why is this ?
And yet the link you posted only tells you how to do it on the Facebook App for Android. Nothing about the Facebook page is mentioned at all, or how to do it on an iPhone.
With that said, and assuming you have the most up to date version of the Facebook App, you can now turn the auto play feature Off within the Facebook App itself. Tap on the "More" icon on the bottom right, then scroll down to Settings->Videos and Photos->Auto Play. If Smart auto-Play is on turn it off. Then you can set the check mark on "Never Play Videos Automatically" which is the same as Off. -
Turn off font preview in PS CC 2014?
I'm attempting to troubleshoot performance issues with Photoshop and one thing I am seeing in Adobe's FAQs is that I should be able to turn off font previews in the preferences in the Type preference panel. However, I am not seeing that option. Has this been removed or moved elsewhere in PS CC 2014 or is it no longer considered a relevant performance tweak... or is something wrong with my install? Screenshot:
My version of Photoshop is 2014.1.0 / 20140730.r.148 x64
Running on Mac OS X 10.9.4
iMac 3.5GHz i7, 32GB RAM, 6TB RAID 0, 1TB startup SSD
PS. The issue I am actually troubleshooting (if anyone reading this has any insight) is that large doc sizes (~100MB) with many layers (both vector and type) have become largely unusable as minor edits such as resizing or moving a layer results in beachball for upwards of 20-30 seconds with the Console reporting that Photoshop has been "caught burning CPU!" (exclamation point is Apple's, not mine). Anyway, sounds naughty. Hardware tests have come up empty so I am revisiting my otherwise unchanged settings to see if I can fix the issues.
Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts!Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh... in the Type MENU, not the preferences... Thanks!

Can i turn off email alerts for find my iphone
How do you turn off email alerts for find my iphone?
There is no way to turn it off, just reduce it. It is a new security feature. It depends on where you are logging in that is generating the email. If you are logging in from a computer browser, if you have cookies on, it should not generate the email except for the first time that you use that device. If it is from logging in to the Find My iPhone app on the iPhone or iPad, if you have a passcode lock set on the device, it will not generate the email, as you will not be logged out of the app on the phone. You just use the home button to get past the app and it stays logged in by not tracking. You open the app again and it will just take you right in without having the log in and will refresh itself.

How do I turn off mail preview?
Hey DogJoey,
You can adjust the preview window or completely hide it by dragging the separator all the way to the right. For more information take a look at the article below. It will be for OS X Yosemite, but will be the same for OS X Mavericks.

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.
Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

I have ios 7 and lately when i go to settings-cellular and try to turn off cellular data for some apps it doesnt work. As i turn off cellular data for one app immideately after i exit settings and re-enter settings cellular data for that same app goes back on again by itself. That happens for most of my apps and is reqlly annoying. Whats more annoying is that when i am not using wifi even though the settings for cellular data for safari or facebook or some other app are turned on (since i cant turn them off as i mentioned) i get the message that cellular data is turned off for this app and i cant use the internet at all on cellular data. I have reset to factory settings and restored from backup and the problem persists. Is there some help or tips you can offer me?
Did you get anywhere with this? I'm considering wiping it and setting it up as a new device.

HT4098 How do I turn off auto-renew for the Guardian?
Trying to turn off auto-renew for The Guardian. From PC.
I did the following:
1. Launch iTunes on your computer
2. Choose Store>Sign In from the iTunes menu.
3. Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
4. Choose Store>View My Account. You may be asked to re-enter your Apple ID password. Click
View Account. (I chose "iTunes Store", in the side bar, since the word "Store" in the menu bar didn't list "My Account". Then I chose "Account" in Quick Links, on the right-hand side of the screen. I got the "Account Information" ok.)
5. From the Account Information screen, scroll to the bottomof the page to the Settings section.
Then it said to: 6. Click "Manage" to the right of "Subscriptions".
The word "Subscriptions" does not appear in the Settings section. Nothing in the Settings section takes me to a page on which to manage my subscriptions.Hi
Read this Subscribe to iTunes Match - Apple Support
This includes a section about turning off auto renew.

Streaming audio data won't stop unless I turn off the phone for 5 minutes.
I have been testing the Curve 8330 regarding streaming audio from an icecast server. The address of the station is http://www.AirProgressive.org, click on "listen". (I have already run this by the icecast experts and they say it is a Blackberry "bug")
BLACKBERRY USERS! PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE STREAM (dataflow) DOES NOT STOP WHEN YOU CLICK "STOP" ON THE MEDIA PLAYER! (and will continue for as long as you leave it on, and even if you turn off your BB for less than 5 Minutes.) I'm not sure if you are charged for these streams, but it seems that the battery is depleted rapidly if this continues without aborting it. See details of my testing below:
> Access icecast stream by clicking on the link on the website:
http://www.airprogressive.org:8000/stream.m3u
> Stream consists of mp3 at 32kbps / 22050 Hz.
> Stock media player launches, stops at "Do you want to open or save the item."
> No connections started yet (viewing "List Clients" page of icecast admin interface).
> Click "open", stream begins playing.
> Two connections are started instead of just one, always offset by 2 seconds.
-- but sometimes only one connection starts.
> FYI, Icecast config: <client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
Here is the output from the "List Clients" page of Icecast2 Admin

Note the last two entries with the same IP address. This is the Blackberry. Top entry is winamp player on PC for reference. Don't know why two listener connections are generated.

I can understand that the player may continue to communicate when "stopped" to fill the lookahead buffer, but when it is restarted, it should use the same connection and not start a new one.

So, to stop the streaming server from communicating with the Blackberry handset, you must either turn it off or disable mobile network for at least 5 minutes.
It appears that the handset continues to transfer data (and therefore incur charges, if the user does not have an unlimited data plan) if the handset is not turned off or mobile network disabled for at least five minutes. It also runs down the battery much faster because the radio transmitter is actively being used, even if the user is not listening to the stream.
The Blackberry network has intervening servers that continue to receive data from the streaming server even if the handset is off. This behavior likely has utility to deal with the realities of the cellphone network, to allow the stream to be transferred from one cell to another, and deal with the possibility that the handset may be out of range for up to 5 minutes without "interruption." However, it is hard to turn off the stream.
QUESTIONS:
1. Is there a way to stop this sort of behavior using a configuration setting or something? It seems particularly stupid to start a new stream connection each time a STOP/START cycle is completed, allowing the old connections to continue streaming data (even if the data does not make it to the handset).
2. IS IT TRUE that the user will be "charged" for the data streams that are not disconnected?
3. Is there a way for a developer to send a signal to the intervening cellphone network to discontinue the orphan streams?
THANKS!!No, I'm using something like this :
to start...
channel = new SoundChannel();
soundPlay = new Sound();
urlReq=new URLRequest;
urlReq.url=mylUrl; // url of radio mp3
soundPlay.load(urlReq);
channel = soundPlay.play();
to stop it...
channel.stop();
channel=null;
try{soundPlay.close();} catch (e:Error) {} // error or not, the sream won't stop.
Any idea ? Did you try with a NetStream object ?
