Turn off the icons in leopard?

The new icons on files, can you turn them off?
I don't always need to see an image representation of my files!

Hi
Go to where documents are.
View>Show View Options (or ⌘j)
Untick 'Show icon preview'.

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!

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.

Is it possible to turn off the Icon previews for some filetypes?

I'd rather see the application icon for some files than see every file have a preview in the finder.
Is it possible to simply disable the live icon previews?

I just tried to update my iPhone 4 and it said it was successful, but now I have a message (USB icon - arrow- iTunes icon) that is frozen? I have turned off the phone, unplugged USB and reconnected and closed out of iTunes and back in. Any suggestions?

Can I turn off the Dashboard to install Adobe Flash update?

Does anyone know how to turn off the Dashboard? Adobe Flash player install asks me to turn off Dashboard during an install process. Any ideas?

Installing the Flash Update on your Mac
This is what I had to do to install it; I'm using OS X 10.9 Mavericks; you may get different results if you're still using Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion (earlier OSs)
I encourage you to do backup your system, download and install the Free, most current operating system for Macs, Mavericks OS X 9.
At some point, Adobe Flash will offer you the opportunity to update itself. It's a good idea, to do so.
Step 1 will be to download the Update .dmg file, which installs the update.
It will probably be in your Downloads folder; double click on it.
When the folder presents itself in a new Finder window, double-click on it.
At some point in the Install, it will pop up a notice to Shut Down Safari/Opera/Chrome/Firefox (all Browsers). That's easy.
It will also likely insist that you shut down a Dashboard Client. Only the Dashboard Client won't show when you try Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
Here's what I had to do, to make it work; there may be a more efficient way, but I didn't find it.
Here's what worked for me, and I'm going to spell it all out the Dummy way, 'cause that's how I need things done for me! : )
Click on an empty space on the Desktop to activate Finder. In the Finder Menu (top) click on the GO tab (top menu) and scroll down to Utilities. Click on the Activity Monitor. In the CPU tab (any of them will work), Click onDock and, holding the Command button (Splat) next to the Space Bar, click on all incidents of Dashboard Client. They're easy to find-- they all have a little grey folder icon to the left of them.
Click on VIEW in the top menu, scroll down to Select Processes, and click on that. The window will simplify and isolate, showing only the selected processes that are keeping you from installing the Flash update.
Then click on the big red stop sign at the top (Quit Process).... (This didn't work for me. No 'Stop' sign.)
Alternately, once you've 'collected' the appropriate files, click on and select each one individually, go up to View in the top menu, scroll down to Quit Process. After a brief pause, it will quit. Quit all of the processes selected.
Make sure everything else is closed and then try to install the Flash Player again. It should work! (Fingers crossed!)
'Always a good idea to Reboot, afterwards, and you should be good to go.

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.

What OS X version are you using?
Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

How do I turn off the pop up blocker notification?

I have been searching for the method to turn off the notification that a pop-up has been blocked. There is supposedly an icon somewhere that I can click to tell Firefox not to send me the message. I have left clicked, and right clicked in the places that look like possible options, but do not get the option to turn off the notifications.
The notifications are as irritating as the pop-ups. Please help.
Thank you,
René Marlin

hello rené, you can enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage''' - double-click and toggle that entry to '''false''' in order to hide the popup notification bar.

How do you turn off the voice on a video while keeping the background music on?

I have to watch an exercise video for training. You are supposed to be able to turn on and off the voice by going to the computer icon and toggle the voice on/off. However, that feature isn't on my ipad or ipod. How do I turn off the voice while keeping the music on?

Hello. I am trying to watch a digital video exercise video in ITunes on my ipad and iPod. I am able to turn the voice on/off when I am watching the videos in iTunes on my Mac Pro, but I can't figure out how to on this feature. I saw it done on a YouTube video. i tried to follow the instructions but the voice on/off doesn't show under settings or under audio-subtitles.

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????

It might be a case of one man's "it makes me crazy" to another's "The light is good" kind of a thing.
I do not know of a "for sure" way to turn off the button light. Various methods have been suggested on Google.
=====================================================================================
The following solution may work IF you are running Windows 7 or below. This is NOT a solution for Windows 8.
Wireless assistant for many systems running Windows 7, Vista, XP.
HP Wireless Assistant sp49018 V3.50.12.1
Installing and Using HP Wireless Assistant
===========================================================================
Workaround - One Definition:
A method for overcoming a problem or limitation in a program or system.
You might, for lack of wishing to damage the keyboard, use a tiny bit of electrical tape to block the light.
IF you are going to be the ONLY owner of the computer and you never want to see the light again, dab it with a bit of black model plane paint.
If this is really making you nuts, you can take apart the system hardware and perhaps disconnect the light at the source.
=====================================================================================
Side Bar:
Though it may cause side effects, that of causing your Wireless / Bluetooth to become unusable or unstable, you could set the Device Manager for the wireless and bluetooth drivers to allow the system to turn OFF the driver "to save power". I have no idea whether this will work and it does have the aforementioned side effects.
Example:
Windows 8:
Windows key + X > M (opens the Device Manager) >
Windows 7:
Control Panel > set icon view > Device Manager >
Next...
Network Adapters >
Right-Click your Wireless Adapter > Properties > Power Management >
Select as appropriate:
UNCHECK “Allow computer to turn off this device…”
UNCHECK “Allow this device to wake computer” >
OK
Windows key + X > M (opens the Device Manager) > Bluetooth >
Right-Click your Bluetooth Adapter > Properties > Power Management >
Select as appropriate:
UNCHECK “Allow computer to turn off this device…”
OK
====================================================================================
Good Luck!
Kind Regards,
