Recent Articles will not stop list

I've disabled recent items (it says 'none') on System Preferences, but my Macbook Air keeps a list of recent items when I click on the upper left corner of the Apple logo. How can I stop the list of recent documents and applications?

When you have defined the recent items 'None' (in SystemPreferences-> general) the "Recent Articles" menu in the Apple Menu should not even be there!

It could be because:

do re Spotlight index: Spotlight: how to re - index folders or volumes - Apple Support

do a relaunch Finder: Apple Menu-> ForceQuit-> select Finder and relaunch Finder.

Restart the mac.

  • The cursor flashes constantly and will not stop.

    Separated from this thread.

    It does not work. I'm not using Chrome. I use Firefox. The cursor flashes constantly and will not stop. Now, as I type, everything works fine. But in the contrary case, the cursor flicker with the small guard wheel busy with her.

    I had this problem as well - but it has happened when I loaded to the top of Chrome; I tried a lot of different things, but could not solve the problem.

    Then, I saw the post from TonyBrownCloudCo, and I knew he was on the right track here.
    Go to the Google Chrome settings > advanced settings
    Disable Google Cloud Printing - it is a used questionable spooler built-in Chrome browser, it must come from the recent update, because I've never had a problem with it before.
    I hope this works for everyone.

  • The SPACEBAR keystroke will not stop.

    My iMac recently started having a problem where the system gets a touch SPACEBAR which will not stop. I think that is what is happening based on the spaces added to the text on the screen in different applications, and from the keyboard Viewer which shows the SPACEBAR constantly depressed.

    This isn't a device keyboard problem. I tried several keyboards. I also tried to unplug all connected to the mac and rebooting. The problem persists. I stop after several reboots (which seems a coincidence). I have also reset the PRAM, which seemed to have fixed, but now he is back (after about 24 hours).

    I don't know what else to try. I have not installed new hardware in the computer, since I bought it (upgrade of ram). It worked fine for 1.5 years.

    Try resetting the SMC by iMac SMC and PRAM reset, it may take several resets to work.

  • Laptop will not stop or sleep

    Hello

    I recently bought an Acer E5-571-54YJ.

    The laptop works very well and fits my needs for the school.

    Only problem I have with it is that it will not stop or go into sleepmode.

    When I stopped it after a few seconds when the screen goes black I mean the closed disc and fans to stop spinning, but blue remains on. I must then manually turn it off by holding the power button.

    Even with its in sleep mode. The light stays on and I can't turn it back on again. I have to first manually stopped in now the power button and then start it upward.

    I tried to disable the quick start, but this does not solve the problem.
    I hope someone can help me quickly because it's really annoying that I can't put it in mode 'sleep'.

    If you want more information, just ask.

    Greetings,

    Jean-Paul

    First of all, make sure that you have the latest version of the BIOS.  If the update to the latest version of the BIOS fixes the problem, then please don't read any more.  If the update to the latest version of the BIOS doesn't fix it, then continue reading.

    Do not read anything below, or attempt anything below unless you have the latest version of the BIOS and will always have the problem.

    If you have Haswell-ATU as the computer linked below - i5 4210U, then the only two known workarounds I know are using the Intel Management Engine interface driver 8.1 Windows 9.5 or install Intel MEI 11.0.0.1181.   If you have Intel Management Engine interface driver 11.0.0.1146 installed, it would be the problem.

    http://community.Acer.com/T5/S-and-R-series-laptops/R3-471T-not-shutting-down-completely-or-turning-...

    Internet search or this forum.  There are tens of thousands of messages that describe problems associated with sleep/stop Haswell-ATU and Windows 10 and usually driver boost a/k/a turbo Intel MEI 11.0.0.1146 11.0.0.1146.

    Yet once, most people use the 9.5 intel management engine interface driver (a Windows 8.1 driver) as a workaround to resolve the problem.  Go to Device Manager and try to restore.  Roll back may or may not give you the Windows 8.1 driver.  You may need to install it manually.

    Hi marcus,

    1. What is the full error message that you receive?

    2. have you recently trying to install a program on the computer?

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then repair Microsoft office on the computer and check if it works.
