Turn off light icons in viewport

Here's the quick 'n dumb question of the day:  How the heck do I turn off the light icons in the viewport?

You can go into View Options (View > View Options) to control part of a spotlight's wireframe. If you want light icons completely off (along with a bunch of other stuff), you can deselect the Show Layer Controls option (View > Show Layer Controls).

  • Is it possible to turn off the icon Preview function?

    Hi all-
    Is there a way to turn off the icon Preview function in OS X?
    It’s particularly annoying especially when I open a folder with video clips in it and the Finder whirrs away trying to give a Preview for each file. It wouldn’t be so bad if the Finder remembered the icon, but everytime you open the folder it goes through the same process again! Plus, unless you’re using giant icons you can’t see what the preview is showing you anyway! I’m quite happy to have the ‘generic’ icon and allow the file name to tell me what the item is!
    Many thanks!

    OMG! I can’t believe it’s such a simple answer! Ha ha! I’ve been using Macs for years and never thought to look at the Views menu! (Hangs head in shame)
    Thanks!

  • X1 Carbon 2014: Built-in WQHD Display. Turn off & Small Icons

    How to turn off the built-in display without
    having to change the power option ( Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings),
    close the window,
    or put the system to sleep.
    WQHD sucks. Most Icons (YouTube video player controller, Win Photo Viewer controller, Eclipse, etc) are tiny. Is there away to fix this annoying small icon issue? Can we get quality (WQHD) without hurting our eyes? plz take a look at the pic.

    How's the new clickpad?
    Does the keyboard flex under reasonable pressure?
    Is the adaptive bar actually a pixel-based LCD or just a series of predefined patterns like the really old LCD displays?
    The "new" clickpad is very slick. The texture is good but just a little too rubbery for my taste. In comparison with my brother's old T series, I prefer the X1.
    Under reasonable pressure, absolutely not. The amount of force it takes for me to flex it is something I'd never do under normal use. It feels very solid in my opinion.
    Upon a close inspection, the adaptive touch bar appears to be the old LCD type. I really want those media keys.

  • Disable / Turn off Thumbnail / Icon Preview in Finder?

    Can't find any new/recent posts to solve this issue. I want to disable/turn-off the little icon preview in finder.
    I have to access a lot of images on a server at work. Image files(jpeg, eps, tiff, psd, ai, ect) that are typically 50MB and higher. So you can only imagine the amount of lag I get and the time I waste every time I click on a folder in list view.
    Is there any way to disable it? Just have it show a standard icon file type instead of it loading 100+ 8MB images in little tiny icons?
    I've already tried the View -> Show View Options -> unchecked 'Show icon preview' and applied it as 'Use as default'
    Its turn off for all folders but it is still loading the mini icon preview.
    (I'm on a Mac Pro - Mountain Lion)

    I've tried reinstalling Mavericks and I'm still having this issue. I'm considering wiping my drive and going back to Mountain lion. Qucktime player in Mavericks seems to suck. I'm having several other issues playing back older quictime files. Most play in Quicktime 7 but a lot have no quicklook previews. The sheer volume of prores files I shoot makes this extremely inconvenient for me. How can Apple not support their own Codec????

  • Can we turn off the icon on the lock screen that opens and displays all the photos on your ipad

    I finally noticed the little icon on the lock screen that you can puch and it immediately opens a slide shoew of all the phoes in your library.   I think this is a bit of a security issue -- I dont' wan people being able to look at my pictures wtithout authorizatino from me.   This supasses my permission and lets anyone look at them while the IPAD is still "locked"
    Cn w turn off/disable this icon selection somehow?   I've notobeeen abe to find anything  yet.
    Help!

    There is no security issue. If your iPad is protected by a passcode (which it should be if you don't want anyone to be able to look at stuff) you can turn the slideshow icon off.

  • Airport Time Capsule keeps turning off light

    My Airport time capsule 2gig (2013) model keeps turning off like every 30 mins. I need to unplug and plug it over again to turn on the time capsule.
    I connect my airport time capsule to my macbook pro 15inch retina display using the thunderbolt. I'm using osX maverick 10.9.1
    while watching youtube I notice that the video stop. then I notice that my airport time capsule has no green light and need to turn it on again to get that green light.
    What should I do? Please help!
    FYI - I always check my airport utility and there is no updates pending or error warning sign.

    The TC is faulty.. return ASAP for replacement.

  • Elitebook 8570w - Windows 7 - How to turn off light when touchpad disabled

    I much prefer to use the styk rather than the touch pad, and I lay my hands on the computer in such a way that I can accidentally trigger the touch pad when it is on.  So with laptops I usually just go to the device manager and disable the touch pad entirely.
    However, on my Elitebook 8570w, when I disable the touch pad, this extremely bright orange light comes on.  It's extremely annoying, especially in low light situations, where I often have to work with my laptop.
    How can I disable this light while the touchpad is disabled?

    Hello noshius,
    Your EliteBook is a Business model.  Your issue would be best answered on the HP Enterprise Business Community Forum
    Good luck!

  • ITunes match turned off on 4s but "cloud" icon still showing

    I have signed up to iTunes Match and uploaded my entire music collection to the service.
    I have turned this functionality off in my iPhone 4s so that all music that appears on this device, should be music that is physically stored on the device.
    However, next to some albums/artists, a "cloud" icon is still showing.
    My first question is, what does this icon mean?
    Secondly, I cannot understand why this icon appears to some content and not others (see below).
    Again, all my music I have matched or uploaded to the "cloud" via iTunes Match (Windows) but with Match turned off, the icon is still appearing for some reason and only next to some content not all.
    Interestingly, no cloud icon whatsoever shows next to any individual song (under the "Songs" tab) regardless if one shows under "Albums" or "Artists" tabs:
    I am at a complete loss.
    I have turned iTunes Match on then off on the iPhone4s to try and correct the issue but no joy.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Richard and all,
    Yes, the problem is solely iTunes Match.
    Essentially what I think is happening (in layman's terms), is the Phone is not "recognising" that iTunes Match is now turned off.  Ie, it's not "refreshing" the songs/albums/cloud status on the phone if the iTunes Match service/functionality is toggled on then off.  Its as if the service is still running in the background.
    Interestingly Richard, I noticed when I had iTunes Match set to off and flipped a track over to reveal the entire track listing on the album (as you've also demonstrated above), I could see the other songs in the album stored in the cloud (but not on the device). My phone would then start downloading these songs without me even having to select them! I could literally seem them downloading right before my eyes under the iTunes app!  Very very annoying!  It was as if the phone was assuming I wanted to download these tracks when in fact, I only wanted to view them.
    The only way I even discovered this problem was when I checked my data use and noticed it was quite large. Even though I had Match off, my Music app would be streaming songs stored in the Cloud!
    Hence, my only conclusion is, there is a bug in iTunes Match.  
    Since discovering this problem, I chose to do an "Erase all contents and settings" and setup my iPhone4s all over again.  Leaving iTunes Match off since, I have used only iTunes on my PC to put music onto my phone (and haven't switched  Match on again on my iPhone since). No cloud icons have been showing since and no weird streaming or downloading issues have followed.
    Have been unable to find many other people experiencing this problem on the interwebs (but I would think there would be a few!) so hopefully it gets fixed in an update by Apple?  It shouldn't have to come down to an erase and reset to get Match to "shutdown" properly.
    The premise of iTunes Match is great...our problem suggest it needs to be ironed out a bit more though.  Its also a shame as we've paid for it as a service.
    Where do we go from here? How can we report this to Apple to have it fixed?

    Hi Michael,
    Though I've solved that particular problem there's still two issues with regard iTunes Match.
    Number one, I'm genuinely worried about switching it on again on my iPhone. As soon as you enable it it threatens to 'replace' the music that is already on the phone and that to me is where things start to go wrong.
    You're not the only person to be concerned by that alert dialog. As long as the songs that are already on your iPhone are in the cloud they will not actually be removed. They will remain on the iPhone.

    Secondly, on my phone currently I have just 120 songs all of which 'exist' on the phone with 'Manually manage music and video's' AND 'Sync only checked songs and videos' as my iTunes set up under options...
    With iTunes Match enabled on your iPhone, those settings no longer apply. Direct syncing of music via USB or Wi Fi is disabled and all music management will take place on the iPhone.

    However, if you look at the attached screen shot the unticked songs are still appearing in the list but I have deleted these from the phone. These were the leftovers of my last iTunes Match download across a 3G network last week and won't disappear from the list even though they're unchecked.
    What version of iOS is on your iPhone? This was a pretty serious bug in iOS 5.0.1, which was fixed in 5.1. But for some people, me included, it required restoring the iOS device to factory, then restoring the backup before the "ghost tracks" would go away.

  • 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!

  • Hard drives turning off

    I have a 2 hard drive RAID set up with identical Iomega hard drives. They are both connected to a FireWire 400 hub which goes into my computer (iMac G5.) Whenever I'm doing something hard drive-intensive (exporting video from FCP, using Compressor with files from RAID, importing video to RAID scratch disk) one or both of the hard drives turns off. The blue light goes out but the drive keeps spinning. Sometimes the icon stays on the desktop, sometimes I get the Device Removal error message.
    But here's the strange thing. If I plug in and turn on some other FireWire device (camcorder, A-D converter box) the blue light comes back on and the RAID starts working again.
    This happens to both the drives, but usually not both at once, so I don't think the drives are bad. Would undoing the RAID solve this problem? I would hate to have to do that though because I don't believe there's away to do that without erasing the drives right? I have absolutely no idea on this one.

    I have actually been running with the "Put the hard disks to sleep whenever possible" option off since before I got the drives, but they turn off anyway. I don't think it's that anyway, because 1) The option has been on for a few days and the hard drives stop spinning, but the light stays on when they are sleeping, and 2) The drive(s) only turn off (light off, disk spinning) when there is activity like copying or writing files happening. If they were sleeping it would (or should) only happen when they aren't being used. After I turned on the "Put the hard disks to sleep whenever possible" option, the drives sleep and wake up ok, but the lights are always on except when they are spinning up.
