• How to stop the sidebar from popping up when I drag my mouse to the left?

  I've updated OS for my Mac at El Capitan this week, and since then, when I use safari mode full screen and the mouse touches the left side of the screen, the sidebar is displayed. It is very annoying, and I don't know how to remove it. Does anyone know how can I fix? Image below.

  Positioning of your Dock on the left side of the screen is a possible workaround to consider.

• How can I stop Photos to start when I plug my iPod nano?

  How can I stop Photos to start when I plug my iPod nano?  I use mac os x El Capitan 10.11.3 & iTunes 12.3.2.35.

  It takes your iPod nano 5th generation.  If so, this happens because he has a camera.  After Photos opens when you connect iPod, near the top of the window, is there a checkbox to Open the Photos for this device (or words to that effect)?  If you see this checkbox, uncheck.  Photos should be open when the iPod is connected.

• How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.

  For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".

  I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.

  I have to reselect the text box and add a letter or two at a time to get what I need. Very frustrating.

• How can you stop the toolbar of 'charm' of popping up all the time and this HUGE clock

  How can you stop the toolbar of 'charm' of popping up all the time and this HUGE clock... I am new to windows 8 and I do not... I much prefer to have windows 7 return... any suggestions?

  I preached this whole week... my pleasure to increased win8 x 100 once I turned off the edge of the touchpad scan function.  The path may be slightly different, but the synaptics touchpad is the Control Panel / hardware and audio / mouse / device settings / settings / edge shot - and disable "enable edge scans".

  This prevents context changes maddening when browsing the web or doing anything on the touch pad really... you can always access the charms on the right upper or lower, and you can always access history FRO the top left corner after that you disable this... but it is much more controlled.
  hope this helps

• How can I stop my photos be deleted from all my devices when I remove my phone is off

  How can I stop my photos be deleted from all my devices when I remove my phone is off

  With no information can only guess

  My guess is that you are using iCloud photo library and if that is correct, then this is the way ICPL works and why it exists - it synchronizes the libraries on mulciple devices by keeping anyway - any changes made on any device is performed on all including additions, deletions, and modifications

  If this isn't what you want then you should not use ICPL

  For devices with limited storage you put to use optimized photos keep the originals only on iCLoud photo library and any other device with large storage available

• How can I stop Windows XP open My Documents on startuo?

  Hello

  I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro and after installation of SP2 evert time I start Windows automatically open My Documents.

  How can I stop this?

  Thank you.

  You have a false entry in one of your startup locations.

  First, click Start > all programs > startup and see if there is an entry that would open up My Documents.

  If you can't find the entry in the startup folder, download and run Autoruns.  Let it complete the scan (shown bottom left), then click the 'connection '.  Look at the entries and the beginning my Documents should be obvious.  Remove the line or uncheck the box at the beginning of the line (if you think you might ever want to reactivate this entry).

• How can I stop Windows Live Messenger issuing alerts every minutes, hours and days of the year? I don't use it.

  I do not use Windows Live Messenger, but he insists on the display of alerts telling me to connect. Why it does this and how can I stop without causing problems in other areas? I know nothing about it except that the people who try to contact me (I guess) can do it without going through channels such as email or telephone.

  I assume you have Windows Live Messenger, because you have installed the Windows Live Essentials.
  If so, a brief explanation...
  Windows Live Essentials includes some programs that can be installed or NOT, must be installed. You can choose whoever you want.

  Now, you have 2 options...

  1. you can disable. He will remain in the system but inactive.

  2. you can purely and simply uninstall it, and it will be out of the system.

• How can I stop iMovie 10.1.1 from my clips big screen media cultures when I move them to the component of the project (window)?

  I am currently creating a short reel demo/culmination of a feature-length independent full length on my iMac.  The format of independent film is on the big screen and it appears this way in the media window/pane.  But when I take leave of this wide screen support and move clips / add them to the window/pane project and strengthen so the demo highlights reel, clips no longer appear on the big screen - looks like the clips (proportions?) have been cut.

  How can I stop this from happening?

  Thank you!

  If you set 'Placement of Photo' in iMovie preferences to 'Fit' rather than 'Fill' (which I think may be the default) then all your video content will be visible, but you will have bars on it and if the aspect ratio is wider than 16:9.

  

  For clips already in a timeline, you can change the setting to 'Fit' with the crop tool:
