Turning off Incredibe location notice on power up

I have mobile defense installed in the unlikely event that my phone is ever stolen. However on startup it always ask if I would like to turn location off. As gps is fairly important for mobile defense to work...sort of defeats the purpose to ask a thief if they want to turn it off or not. Is there anyway to disable the notification on phone startup?

Yes. I have location set to on. When your first start the phone it ask every time if you would like to turn it off or not though. I know if someone were to steal a phone the first thing they would do is turn it off, and that takes the guess work out of turning off the gps for anyone who turns the phone back on.

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.

Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past. With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. You may need to connect the device to the charger before you attempt the reset.

I am having difficulty updating my iphone apps. Living in Bermuda it keeps wanting to default to the Bermuda store, which does not exist. I turned off the location services which appears to solve this problem, but I use this function a lot so do not want

I am having difficulty updating my iphone apps. Living in Bermuda it wants to default to a nonexistant Bermuda app store. I solved by turning off the location finder, but this is a function I use and need, and dont want the hassle of constantly switching back and forth. Is there a simple solution

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Can't turn off 'Current Location' icon in Maps app

Model: 4GB 1st Gen iPhone +(not experiencing any other issues except this)+
*Issue Began:* Shortly after update to 2.0.1
Frequency: Always
*Feature Concerned:*
In the Maps app, you can press the button on the lower left corner of the screen to make it show your current location. When you do, it asks the standard "Maps wants to use your current location" message to which you can allow or deny. If you allow, the button turns blue and a little blue circle with cross-hair pops up to show where you are. Pressing the button again will remove the location marker until you repeat the process.
Problem:
Within the first few uses of the Maps app after the 2.0.1 update, I had used the feature described above, however it won't turn off. If I push the button to turn it off, the button will turn grey as if it is off, but the marker does not go away. Every time I open the map, it searches for and then shows my location without me turning it on and without asking first. This slows the performance of the map until it is done finding me which can take from 3-15 seconds.
*I've Tried:*
1. Turn feature on and off again= button goes from grey to blue but location always shown and no dialog.
2. Returning to Home screen then back to Map= button still off and still finds location, no dialog.
3. Force-Quitting then re-launch Maps= same result as above.
4. Cycle Airplane mode= same result as above.
5. Cycle Power= same result as above.
6. Restore iPhone using backup= behavior returns to normal, but first time feature is used again the problem is re-established.
7. All combinations of above= same.
*Ideal Solution:*
Fix the problem without having to delete applications or restore to factory default (ie. loose all my application data). I guess I'm hoping someone else had and fixed this issue, 'cause I'm not leaving much room for troubleshooting am I... :-p

*"I've Tried" Additions:*
8. Turn off "Location Services" (Settings->General)= when LS is off, Maps does not automatically show my location, but if I push the button it gives me the dialog and the problem is re-established (doing so will also cause LS to turn back on).
9a. Turn Location Services off
9b. Launch Maps to verify marker is now gone button is grey
9c. Turn Location Services back on
9abc= upon returning to Maps, the button is still off but it once again immediately searches for my location with no dialog.

Powerbook turns off when I unplugged the Power Adapter

I month or so ago I noticed that when I unplug my power adapter it turns off instead of running off the battery. I've tried resetting the PMU but I didn't work. Does anyone have any advice or does anyone know what could be the problem.

I am experiencing a similar problem to Blaise. I have owned my 15-inch Dual-Layer SuperDrive for a total of 4 days. Last night I went to move my computer from the living room (where it was plugged into the wall for approx. 5hrs) to my bedroom. So I simply pulled out the power cable and the screen went blank. At first I thought it went to sleep (which was weird even if that was true), but then I tried to wake it up. Nothing worked. So I moved it into the bedroom, plugged it in, then I basically had to power it up as if it was off. Although, since it is the new PowerBook it was still able to write the contents of RAM to the hard drive (which is a really cool new feature). So the dimmed screen had the progress bar on the bottom as the previous settings were loaded.
Anyway, my long story aside. The battery level monitor in the menu bar, now says 0%, when I unplugged it, it said 99%. The green indicators on the battery itself all light up as if it is fully charged. I also looked in system profiler, where it says the capacity is 0mAh and the total charge is 0mAh. Then I ran apple hardware test, where it told me that no battery was present but it was still able to say it experienced "10 cycles".
I have tried to reset the PMU and the PRAM, no help. I've restarted to see if it would luckily rerecognize it. But nothing has worked.
I will be venturing to the Apple Store this afternoon. I hope it is an easy fix, i.e. just a new battery. Basically the current condition of my computer, is that I need to be plugged in to use it at all.
It must be reiterated that this is a brand new machine. And the battery capacity just hours before this incident was 3639mAh (I've been checking it periodically since I got the machine to see how the battery was doing on the first couple of cycles). And it had only experienced 10 charge-drain cycles.
If anyone has any ideas to fix this, I would greatly appreciate the help.

Computer turns off without warning on battery power

Starting a few weeks ago I've found that my Macbook Pro has been turning off without warning while on battery power. The first time this happened it was after about an hour of use and now it happens within a half hour or less. If I try turning it back on it shuts off before OS X is fully loaded. According to CoconutBattery my battery's health is at 97%, so the battery isn't losing overall charge capability. When I'm on battery power it says I have 2-3 hours of battery life left. Sometimes I notice this will drop between 1-2 hours after 20-30 min of use (if it'll stay on that long) but it never drops and gives me a warning of low battery. It just shuts off without warning. If I press the button on the battery after this happens I do get 4 out of 5 lights. This never used to be a problem. My computer is 14 months old. I've replaced the battery once about 8 months ago (under warranty) because my original battery was losing capacity very quickly. Because 14 months have passed I can't simply get a new battery under warranty. According to Cocoanut Battery and the Finder my battery should last near it's full capacity. I can't figure out why it's randomly shutting off. I have had all the latest updates including the recent battery patch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will award "solved" for a solution and "helpful" for posts that contribute to the solution. thanks!

Actually (and fortunately), that's incorrect. Apple extended the warranty for all Core Duo notebook batteries to *2 years* from date of purchase. Details are here:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
Your full charge capacity is fine (as you noted). But one of the symptoms listed on the linked page is +"Battery exhibits low charge capacity/runtime when using a fully charged battery with a battery cycle count (as shown in System Profiler) of less than 300."+ The word runtime in there applies, so I would call Apple or make a Genius Bar appointment and head into a store. (I did the latter, they replaced mine - free of charge - 15 months after purchase, no AppleCare, and no hassles).
Hope this helps...

TURN OFF the music ("dinggggggg") at power on??

I'm a new owner of MBP, and I like it very much. I would like to find out whether it's possible to turn off the "dingggg" sound when you power up the laptop? That sound is really annoying especially in the public area because people will look at you like "*** are you doing? that sound is gay" Thanks

HT4865 I lost everything my pictures, messages, ect. When I turned off my location settings. Can I get any of those back?

My phone deleted everything when I turned off location services. How do I get it back? Also now there is a new device in my storage. How do I find out what that is?

Check here and see if you got an automatic backup when you pluuged into iTunes. (Fingers Crossed)
Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
If the recent backup is there, simply restore your phone from that backup. It sounds to me that instead of syncing the phone just by connecting it to the computer, you may have restored the phone to your ancient backup. No problem if you have the newer backup, but a huge problem if you don't have the recent backup.
If, in fact, you did restore the phone instead of getting a backup thru the (automatic) sync process, I'd strongly suggest getting the difference between the two straight in your mind.
My other suggestion would be to understand that your iPhone is "managed" thru iTunes. You need to connect the two whenever possible instead of using the charger.

Album 8 Tag panel turn off control location?

When I forget to turn off a tag (key word tag panel) and move on I am forced to go back and find
the on tag, and turn off before I can move on to another tag search.
Is there a way to turn off any on tag with a mouse click not a tag expand search for one on tag?

Thank you
If I leave a Keyword tag on (word tag section) and it is in a sub category
hidden within hundreds of tags it time consuming to open back up every category
to find the one tag I left on and turn it off. Is there an easy way to turn all
tags off with one mouse click instead of going back and expanding all categories
finding the tag I left on, and turning the one tag off?

I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

Can you turn off the location text that appears on the bottom left for links in Firefox 4?

The text box that appears when you mouse over a link and it shows the location in the lower left. Can you turn that off? I find it annoying.

it would even be nice if there were options to change the status text such as length of time of popup, on/off, similar to how an information bar is customized. what makes it so annoying is that is pops up and never goes away and if you hover over it then it goes to the other side of the browser

How can I turn off geo-locator? I have done the fix that I found but it doesn't work - what else can I do?

I have done this and turned it to false (hope that's right)
• In the URL bar, type about:config
• Type geo.enabled
• Double click on the geo.enabled preference
• Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled
But google is still putting me at a location unsuitable for my browsing requirements. I want to browse .co.uk not .fr. for business as well as personal. Please help it is very time consuming even when I type .co.uk google changes it back to .fr
Any help gratefully received. Thank you.

"Location-Aware Browsing" is only useful if you connect via a wireless access point.<br />
Otherwise a reverse DNS look up of your IP is used and that is usually not very accurate.<br />
Firefox will always ask for permission before using Geolocation.<br />
