Turning off links on a webpage?

Is there any way to do this? My fingers, when I scroll down, say, NYTimes.com, invariably hit on a couple that I don't want- I'd love to be able to quickly (temporarily) disable them so I could read a long article.

Try using 2 fingers to scroll. It works, and even if you tap directly on a link with two fingers that won't take you to the link.
Give it a shot,
Aym

How does one turn off link auto-update?

When we have an ID file open in CS6 and make a Photoshop edit, the link seems to auto-update. We don't like this as we'd rather 'watch' the update so if comes in as expected, etc.. Can one turn off link auto-update? Thanks!

Are you making the edit by selecting the graphic frame and then choosing Edit Original? This will always auto-update.
If that's not it, you might try clicking Preferences > General > Reset All Warning Dialogs

Turn off linking text boxes in Pages

I find the linking text boxes annoying because I'm always fighting trying to STRETCH a box and Pages wants to add a linking floating text box.
Does anyone know how to turn off this feature completely, so it never comes back on unless I want it to?
For a while it was OFF, and then all of a sudden I'm back fighting the linking text box feature when trying to move my text box where I want it.
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Pamela,
No, I don't believe that you can disable Text Box Linking. Just keep your mouse pointer away from the Link Handles.

How to turn off linking on folder when publishing it as portlet

when I publish a folder as a portlet. The display name of the
portlet becomes a link. I just want to display the folder items
under the name rather than have a link on the name. It confuses
the users and looks weird. How do I turn it off?

You'll have to wait for the next release. The only solution in
the current release is to turn off portlet headers in the region.
Regards,
Jerry

Turn off links Preferences

Hi All,
I would like to turn off the preferences, links on one off my pages (as
it is to be used as a report)
I have seen the following code posted earlier
OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
// You must call prepareForRendering() if the following code is
// included in a pageLayout controller. If you add it further down
// in the layout hierarchy, the menus will be fully processed so you
// don't need to do this.
page.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
OAGlobalButtonBarBean buttons = (OAGlobalButtonBarBean)page.getGlobalButtons();
buttons.setRendered(false);
I have added this to the Process Request controller class for my page and I
get errors
OAGlobalButtonBarBean not found
I had the following import statement but this errors as well
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.layout.OAGlobalButtonBarBean
I have added the ICX_STANDARD... submenu to the menu I'm using..
Cheers
Guy

Try to used this import stmt.
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.nav.OAGlobalButtonBarBean;
Thanks

I had turned off link underlines. for some reason they are back. where can i turn them off?

I haven't seen underlined links in years. Now they are back. Tell where the switch is so all the sites I used to visit with no underlines are back to looking clean!

Did you look here?
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors
Note that web pages can use CSS code to underline links.

Turn off link to itunes store

Hello,
I've just upgraded to itunes 8, and now when I click on a song it puts the arrows beside it in every column directing me to the itunes store. I don't want to see these arrows. There is no "Show links to the iTunes Store"checkbox in the Preferences as suggested in the online text tutorials.
How can I get rid of these annoying arrows?
Ros

This has been asked before.
Open a Terminal window and copy/paste this line
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE
or
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links 0
and press return.
Restart iTunes.

Everytime I get online I have to manually go to tools and turn off the proxy before I can load any webpages. Is there anyway I can keep it off permanetly?

Everytime I want to use the internet I have to adjust the settings and turn off the proxy. If I don't my webpages wont display. Is there anyway I can make the settings remember to keep the proxy off rather than having to do it myself EVERY time I get on the internet?

Time doesn't update periodically, links don't open in emails, turning off and on at least once a day...any ideas why???

I'm having to turn off and on my iPhone at least once a day to update time, and/or to receive texts that are not coming through when they should've gone through. Also, why don't the links open when i click on them from my email? Also, phone has to reconnect to wifi every time I unlock it. Any recommendations???

First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
This is something that often cures strange problems like yours. I hope it works for you.

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

Hi,
I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal. I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved. Here is the steps sent to me
Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
(should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
1. Click on Applications
2. Click on Utilities
3. Click on Terminal
4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
