Turn off the light?

Hi,
I would like to completely disable the green light during normal operation of the unit. Is that possible? The Airport utility seems to only allow me to switch between blinking (activity) and a steady light.

This is the first thread my search turned up after wanting to see if my light could be turned off.
LOL.
I hope Paklonder's dark response is tongue-in-cheek, because I'm going to be searching out opaque tape with adhesive that makes it removable, but doesn't get all slimy from the warmth of the light.
Edit:
Changing Airport Utility/Base Station/Options/Status Light to Flash on Activity, and turning it 90º goes a long way.
I just spent time searching through my other AV device menu trees and was my success with finding a way to turn off those lights was denied. I forgot to even look first with the Airpoirt.
The Feedback page is a good place to drop a suggestion for features.

All right. I have one for Art Bell:
I found the Airport Feedback page I pasted above with the keyword search "feedback and airport." When I just went to leave my feedback the subject line for my feedback auto-filled with "Re: Turn off the light?" I'm not sure, but I bet that was my keyword search that got me to this thread. I think someone at Apple just did something really cool with that little trick.

Satellite A660 How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.
However bothers me is the lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
In Bios I could turn off the led illumination, but the power on/off button is still lighting,that distracts me when i am working.
This notebook has two power LED, so the power on lighting is in my opinion, unnecessary.
My question is: How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

Here you can see the LED with the same function in front of you: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/t009aae62jpg.jpg
Yes in fact, the difference is color, design, but also location and brightness of the LED.
For me, this LED is too bright and it is distracting in the dark, as you can see here: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/leddf570760jpg.jpg
I was today at a local electronics store, and saw that Toshiba has the brightest Power LED on A660, but why it must be placed under the LCD and not in the front as in my old notebook Toshiba A210.
I also had the idea with a tape, but it would look ugly, and it must be removable without residue.
P.S. Also the fingerprints on the glossy keyboard do not look nice.

Have you plugged the USB cable into the computer also as the brightness is controlled over USB. If this does not work, you would need the Apple Display Driver for the version of Windows that you are using. The display driver is part of BootCamp software that you may be able to find online

TS3243 The light on my Time Machine disk is on all the time. The back ups still occur OK and without any issues but I need to 'turn off' the light. Any ideas?

The light on my external Time Machine drive is on all the time. Up until about six onths ago it only came on when it was backing up. The drive is working perfectly and backing up regularly, but the light is driving me mad. I have tried to find an option to put it out but so far have not managed to do it. The drive is a Seagate 1TB Freeagent and has 913 GB free so cannot be anywhere near full. Can anyone offer any advice or guidance to turn the light off?

I suggest that you contact Seagate technical support.
Ciao.

How do I turn off the "Light" Version of Outlook for webaccesse to email?

IMAC new computer - tried to access web based email of my work email - need MSOutlook - through Safari and Mozilla Firefox on IMAC - both only bring up the "Light" version.

Firefox will allow me to do it through my old PC at home, but PC locks up most of the time. Help!!!! Thanks!!!

Hi Mlevine,
Any files in the Creative Cloud folder get synced automatically with file sync running, you can stop the process by opening the Creative Cloud app and then from the Gear icon in the top right open the menu and select the option pause syncing. There is also an option to turn syncing off completely in the Preferences in the Files section.
Hope that helps,

Lock the doors? Turn off the lights? Lower the thermostat? In search of a "Smart Home"

Blog courtesy of Verizon #SmartHome Ambassador Jean Parks (@geekbabe)
Have you ever wished for a ‘Smart Home?’ I don't know about you but I've longed to be able to control my home heating/cooling, lighting and security all from one central place that I can access from anywhere I might be. Yes, there are various individual systems out there but few of them do it all, and having to deal with multiple accounts, passwords and bills frankly annoys me.
Here’s what’s on my smart home wish list (besides a robot to fold my laundry!):

The idea is great and when we go on vacation it would be great to be able to keep an eye on the home.... BUT... would you believe that Verizon has no facility for an internet only provision when putting your services on Vacation Hold?
That is a big ommission - we should not have to pay for TV and Home phone when on vacation just to get the internet service! Without an internet connection none of these great monitoring and control ideas will work. Paying for all of the services when we are away from home makes no sense!

Last one out turn off the light

I am trying to implement a strategy where the last session bean to be accessing an entity bean removes that entity bean before going out of scope.
Essentially a session bean looks for a particular entity bean and if it isn't there creates it. As each session bean is about to be destroyed I want it to either try to remove the entity bean or see if any other session beans are accessiong that entity bean. I want the last session bean to remove the entity bean as it is being destroyed.

I'm not a session bean expert, but I have some ideas that might get you started.
The only requirement is that the session beans somehow know when they are created and destroyed. Is this possible? If yes, then my idea will work.
My basic idea is to implement a reference counter for the entity bean.
You will either need a static field that is used as a reference counter in the entity bean (don't know if that is allowed under the spec) or some kind of singleton that has the field.
When the entity bean is first created (by the first session bean), set the reference counter to 1. Any time another session bean is created, increment the counter.
Whenever a session bean is destroyed, decrement the counter. When the counter reaches zero, you should be able to remove the entity bean safely.
Of course, none of this will work unless the session beans receive come kind of notification when they are created / destroyed.

How do I turn off the camera lights when recording a video with the Android Turbo?

I want to use the Andriod Turbo camera video function in ambient lighting using the forward lens. But when I start recording both lights stay on. I can video with ambient using the look back lens. Not as good a quality and harder to aim.
Is there a setting that can turn off the lights until I want them? How is it done?
Thanks for the help.

Thank You! Problem solved. I am a new user to 'smart phones' and my original question probably should have been "How Do I Find The Camera Settings Menu?"
It wasn't obvious, but your reply got me searching again. I found that if you drag your finger from the left side of the screen to the center the semi-circular menu appears on the left. There I found the light control and other options.
I didn't know it existed and the manufacturer's manual that came with the phone gave no instructions on the camera operation.
abcdefg4, your comment helped me search a little harder. Thank you again.

HT200154 how do you turn off the apple TV box? There doesn't seem to be an off button. The status light stays on.

how do you turn off the apple TV box? There doesn't seem to be an off button. The status light stays on.

Usually, when you put it to sleep mode, the status light will turn off. To put it into sleep mode, go to Settings.
If you want it completely off, then I guess the only way to do it is to pull the electric plug.

Turn off the status LED or make it a stable light

As I remember, with earlier Time Capsule or Air Port Express models, there was an option to turn off the green LED status light or make the light stable so it does not flicker when data is being transferred.
I think had my previous (recently departed) Time Capsule set to this mode, so I had a stable green light instead of nervous flickering with every transfer of data.
I just installed a new 3 TB Time Capsule. Can I toggle the light setting somewhere in the actual version of AirPort Utility? I did not find any possibility to do that.
Best,
Georg

Can I toggle the light setting somewhere in the actual version of AirPort Utility?
Apple removed the settings in AirPort Utility 6.x versions regarding the options on the light.
If your Time Capsule is operating normally, it will have a steady green light.
Flashing amber indicates that the Time Capsule has a message for you.
No light indicates that the Time Capsule is not currently powered on....or it has died.

How can I turn off the green light indicator on my AirPort Express?

How can I turn off the green light indicator on my AirPort Express? It really annoys me.

The Zed,
You have two options and you probably won't like any of them.
Using the Airport Utility, click on the AE then "Base Station", then "Options". That will bring up two options for you AE green light, either keep it green at all times or only light up when it is being used.
The second option is put some tape over it.
Hope this helps.

How can I turn off the LED light? It's constantly on.

If anyone can give me some help, that would be tremendous. How can I turn off the LED light as it's contstantly turned on???

If a reset does not work, then the next steps in user troubleshooting are restore from a backup and if that doesn't work, then restore as a new device. If that doesn't work, then you can make an appointment to take the device to the Apple store and have the hardware checked.
If you live close to an Apple store, you could go there first, but they will probably ask if you have done a restore and would do one there, so make sure you have backed up and synced all of your data.
