VMWare fusion turning off automatic virtual machine start

Hello,
Possibly not the best forum for this question, but I hope some of you use VMWare fusion to run Windows on your MAC.
I originally used VMWare fusion eacy windows install to install XP Home as my virtual machine with automatic start up of XP home when VMWare fusion starts. I have subsequently created a new virtual machine for Windows 7 release candidate and want to automatically start this rather than XP when VMWare fusion starts. However I cannot fathom out how to stop VMWare fusion automatically loading and starting XP.
Any ideas? I should probably post this to a VMWare fusion forum, but cannot work out how to do that! I can see the appropriate VMWare forums but cannot see any way to post new threads. I do have a VMWare account.
Many thanks for your help.

Hello Paul,
While Bjorn appears to have answered your question (and if so, you should mark the question "answered" BTW — and Bjorn will get credit for answering!), I'm sure you could use the kind of specialist help available from the Mac-Access mailing list discussion group. There are a number of VMWare Fusion users who also use VoiceOver on that list.

Where in my Time Capsule does VMWare Fusion 5 store the virtual machine?

Greetings from Toronto Apple Community!
Due to a software issue my MAC Book Pro has been erased and selectively rebuilt from my Time Capsule in order to prevent re-creating the problem.
I run Mountain Lion with VM Fusion 5 and Windows 7 64 bit Pro on my MAC.
Does any one know where in the Time Capsule backups does VMWare store the virtual machine???
Your brilliance and answers would be most appreciated!

How can I turn off automatic loading of Bridge in PhotoShop CS2?

For the life of me I can not find the way to turn off automatic
startup of bridge in CS2. Please help....

Thanks for the reply. On my computer I am running PSCS2 and InDesign CS4. I went into InDesign Preferences and disabled running scripts. Then I opened PhotoShop, preferences and there was a option to uncheck, automatically start Bridge with PhotoShop. I swear I looked for this option 4 or 5 times and it was not there. Now either I am going looney or disabling the option to run scripts in CS4 did the trick. If any of you are still using CS2 would you confirm that the option is or is not there to disable bridge when starting PSCS2.
I am thankful that you guys have helped me to resolve this. I am still curious as to whether I am going looney....you guys are the best!

How do I turn off automatic sing in Skype?

How do I turn off automatic sing in Skype?
i work with Windows,Mac& ipad..

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
On Skype for desktop (Windows, Mac) just use "Sign out" from the "Skype" menu once. This will take you back to the Skype sign in screen. Next time you sign in from there just make sure you have the "Sign me in when Skype starts" checkbox not checked.
On Skype for iPad:
Open the Skype app settings from the iOS settings menu. I think there should be an option to disable automatic sign in.

How do I turn off automatic streaming of MP3 audio?

I like to download podcasts directly to my desktop so I can later transfer them to my Sansa media player. Now that I've installed Quicktime podcasts stream and play automatically in my Firefox browser window. What settings do I change to turn off automatic streaming of MP3 audio?

Well, in fact I have the same problem. And by the way, I dislike marketing tricks as proposing that you buy the pro-version of quicktime if you ever want to download mp3-files again (as a right click on the quicktime browser-player does).
I already switched off every file link and stream-related ghismo that points towards quicktime as player, in the quickime control in control panel as wel on any other place I could find.
But the only thing I acchieved is, that IE now starts downloading as soon as I go to a link to an MP3 file and after some time it says "ready".
An firefox stubbornly keeps opening the quicktime player.
I tend to disagree with IE as I can't find any file on my system, with regardless what searching technique.
Is there a way to get things back to normal without uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling my browsers (wich is useless as Itunes will prompt me to reinstall quicktime)???

LENOVO G400 TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND NOT LOAD BIOS SETUP

i have a lenovo g400, once i turn on it only the lenovo name appears in the screen and then it turn off automatically and then turn on and turn off again and so on... also I was having problem that my Lenovo G400 laptop did not display Press F2 to Enter Setup during the boot process, and because of this, no amount of hammering the F2 button would allow access to the BIOS. I attempted all of the standard fixes, pulled the battery, held power down for 30 seconds, removed the HDD -- nothing would cause this to appear. i dont know whats the problem of my laptop..please help me to fix it..

hi PRAY2431,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try to access the BIOS by pressing the OneKey Recovery button.
- Link to picture
If you manage toget in, try prssing F9 to reload factory defaults then press F10 to save and exit (this should reset the hardware configuration of the machine).
If you still can't get into the BIOS and the machine still turns off after POST (lenovo screen) then there's likely a hardware component that's failing. If you have a spare PC, try to create a Lenovo Bootable USB Diagnostics and boot from it by pressing F12.
Alternatively, you can contact Lenovo (for service) or contact one of the Lenovo Authorized Service centers below

How do i turn off automatic download and make it stay off

I use the preferences in ITUNES to turn off automatic down loads and every time i start iTunes it tries to force me to sign to an ICLOUD account and automatic download. I have tried everything I can find on apple help sites. But you Apple carefully stays away from the subject of how to make it stay off. I have 10.9.4 system
and 11-3 (54) iTunes.

Hello, jadetorchwood.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing error -50.

You can also disable automatic downloads via the steps in the article below.

How to turn off automatic numbering in Pages

I recently had a problem getting rid of automatic numbering within Pages.
I keyed in a numbered heading (eg, "1. H1") and then hit return, when it gave me another numbered heading ("2. H2") on the next line, which I didn't want.
The easiest way to get round this is to hit the return key on the automatically numbered line (eg, "2. H2"), which removes the "2" and puts you to the start of the line. This seems to tell Pages that you don't want automatic numbering, at least for the time being. Perhaps until you key another numbered heading...
To turn off automatic numbering on an individual line you can press the "i" button at the top and select "None". That will remove the number.

The View menu does what it says:
Menu > View > Hide Invisibles
Peter
btw You turned it on when you hit command shift i, do it again and it turns it off.

Blackberry z10 turning off automatically

my blackberry z10 is turning off automatically every day 1-2 times, i have also factory reset it still the problem is same.what should i do?????

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Phone Turns Off Automatically - Nokia 700

my nokia 700 have problem when i insert sim card does not function, is just only start until hands apear its turn off automatical.. but when its offline mode i can do anything or when a remove sim card.
i try soft formart then hard formart its does help!! idon't what to do now??
Moderator's Note: A more related subject was provided.

If the Nokia Software Recovery Tool does not help, you face a hardware issue. Either the SIM or the phone. If you tried another SIM, preferable from another network operator, then it is very likely the phone. In that case, you have to send/bring your phone (via your dealer) to a local, but official Nokia Care Point for inspection.

Installed itunes on another computer and need to turn off automatic update

I have itunes on my desktop at home and it is set to manually update my songs on my ipod (I have more songs on my 80GB ipod video than on my desktop). I am now traveling with a laptop and just installed itunes on my laptop. itunes won't let you turn off the automatic update setting until you plug your ipod into your computer. I am afraid to plug my laptop into my computer because it will automatically update the music (wipe out all my music on my ipod). Can I somehow turn off automatic update (switch to manual) before I plug my ipod into my laptop? Also, I know there is software that allows you to move the music from the ipod to the laptop, but I don't want to move all that music to the laptop. I want to continue updating my ipod manually on my laptop. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you set the iPod to be manually managed on one computer, that setting will follow the iPod to any other computer you connect it to. However, even if you don't have the iPod set that way, when you connect the iPod to a foreign library, you'll receive an message in iTunes when it recognizes the iPod that the iPod is synced with another library, and you can click 'Cancel' and still get to the iPod's Summary page to put it into manual mode, without it changing any content on the iPod. If it makes you feel better, you can also click Edit and go to Preferences, click the Syncing tab, and select the option to "Disable automatic syncing for iPods & iPhones" prior to connecting your iPod.
Hope this is helpful

This pops up when exporting in iMovie "Unable to prepare project for publishing: The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (ParamErr: error in user parameter list)" I have turned off my Time Machine in terminal.

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.
jonorparkerjon
After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

How do I turn off automatic updates in Adobe Reader 9.3.0?

I don't see any way to turn off automatic updates in this version.

You can use the menu option 'Edit => Preferences => Updater' to adjust how updates are handled. If you have a corporate install, you might not have this option available and then you would need to talk to your System Administrator. If you turn it off, then you will need to manually check for updates since there are always updates to Acrobat/Reader that are needed to block new security threats.

Hi,
I am using German OS therefore maybe the items are called differently in English:
1) Go into the main menu
2) Select "Alerts"
3) select the Profile you like to adjust
4) Select App Alerts
5) Select Email
6) You sould see your 3 mail accounts listed
7) Select the one you like to "mute" and you can set everything (sound, LED, vibration etc. individually for this acount)
Hope it helps
Alex
