Applications :: Disable On Startup Dropbox?

May 20, 2010

I have a problem with my Dropbox in Snow Leopard because it is all the time being started when I login and I'd like to disable that. I tried unchecking the option in the Dropbox preferences and deleting Dropbox from the "login items" of my account. But when I restart the computer it's there again.

OS X :: How To Disable Dropbox On Public Wifi

Apr 29, 2010

I'm at the airport where they have free public wifi. There are about 40 people's macbook hard drives online with their drop box.

How do I disable my drop box on public wifi connections? How do I make a drop box alias that doesn't have my last name on it? This seems very insecure and an invasion of privacy to me.

OS X :: How To Disable Startup Processes

Jul 24, 2010

I would like to disable some processes from starting upon login, but can't figure out how. I am not referring to the Login Items of System Preferences>Accounts. I have checked /Library/StartupItems/ (empty), /Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist (essentially empty), and ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist (which only contains the things that i do want, it matches my account preferences).

Applications :: SugarSync Versus Dropbox

Nov 8, 2008

I want to abandone iDisk, for its poor capabilities and features.

I'm looking for the best alternative ...

I'm testing Dropbox and looking at sugarsync.

Dropbox seems more robust on Mac system, while sugarsync is actually in beta testing on this side, but sugarsync has more attractive price options ...

Anyone has for example tried to syncronize a large virtual disk (VMware for example) or large Aperture library ?

PowerPC :: Cannot Disable Classic Environment At Startup

Sep 1, 2010

I cannot get the Classic environment to not automatically start when either I restart or turn on my PowerBook.

I've had this problem ever since someone needed to use my computer with a program that was for a prior operating system, once we found out that the only way for it to work on my Mac would be to wipe my current operating system and revert back to the Classic operating system, which of course at that point we stopped with the process.

Ever since then, the 9 is always bouncing in my dock, and when I go into system preferences I cannot uncheck the "Start Classic when you login" option, it is greyed out for some reason.

I've attached a screen shot, I have more of what happens when I login and I can post if it would be helpful

OS X :: Disable Startup Items For A One-time Login?

Jan 13, 2009

I'm sure many of you know how using bootcamp can cause slow startups when switching OS's because it has no cache to use. For example I'll be in Windows and then need to swap back over to Leopard to get something done, but it takes forever. The worst part is the list of login items... I've tried using scripts to separate them by 10 seconds or so, but nothing really made it faster. I was wondering if it was possible to login but cancel or disable the startup items for that login that one time... Sometimes I just need to login to grab something off the internet or something quick, but it takes me awhile because I have to wait for everything to load.

Do I make any sense? :P

And no, safe startup mode does not count. I don't want to disable the entire system... just the login items.

MacBook Pro :: Disable Second Video Card Completely (non Default At Startup)

Apr 14, 2012

how I can disable one of my video cards in my MacBook pro. The better of the two recently crapped out, or at least if am able to get it to turn on and can login to switch to the other video card it works fine. 

Basically the screen glitches up and freezes the computer. I think it could have potentially taken damage from possible prolonged over heating from high temperature spaces, and a lot of dirty air over time blocking the vents. (after multiple cleanings) 

Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

OS X :: Spotlight To Dropbox In SL?

Aug 22, 2009

I installed SL 10a432. Transferred a lot of files to the share/dropbox. In swedish this is called:
~/Delad/Brevl�demapp/ which in English would translate to "~/Shared/Mailbox folder/" or something similar, it not related to emails, just the literal translation....

what should I write in spotlight to reach this folder? i have tried loads of combination but I cannot find this folder in spotlight but I can find the items in it...

if I write "dela" as in "Delad" it suggest "delat" like it would suggest share insted of shared when it in fact was called shared....

OS X :: Using 1Password And Dropbox

Mar 17, 2010

The 1password keychain is encrypted, but if I open the keychain file so I can use 1password or to look up info on my keychain on an open unsecure WiFi, could other people see my passwords and secure notes?

I believe read Dropbox stores all files encrypted, but that MobileMe does not encrypt them. Is that correct? But since the 1password keychain is already encrypted it's not necessary to have it stored encrypted like on Dropbox??

OS X :: Creating An OS X Dropbox Killer

Nov 11, 2010

So this Gruber comment on a Shawn Blanc posting got me thinking about how Apple would create a Dropbox competitor.

[URL]

Quote:

I�ve heard rumors of a �Dropbox-killer� service from Apple, possibly a part of Mac OS X 10.7. I don�t know if it made the cut, but we�ll find out in a few hours.

The problem, of course, is what about Windows? I�m not sure how an Apple cloud syncing solution could be tied to a new version of Mac OS X.

Interesting. But knowing Apple they wouldn't just copy Dropbox they'd add a bit of flair to their version. I'm just speculating here about some of the features that I'd love to see.

Rather than one root folder I'd love to be able to set up multiple "Cloud Folders" that could be on the Desktop or Sidebar in the Finder. That way I could have a folder for shared items or have secure folders that are password protect. Sky's the limit.

There would be an option to save a document to a sub-folder that would then publish directly to iWork.com

You would have the option to sync or ignore on a folder basis. There would be Windows access as well to the Cloud Folders through an app and http access as well.

There would be Mac & iOS API access that links in with 3rd party vendors (and their API).

Apple clearly has to wrestle back control of the Cloud infrastructure that iPhone/iPad users rely on. They don't have to kill iDisk but rather they need to augment EVERY Mac and iOS iDevice with the ability to access content through the Cloud.

OS X :: Using Dropbox And Folder Aliases?

Oct 23, 2009

I like to backup the "Documents" folder as I have a lot of crucial information in there. Dropbox is perfect if I'm using my Mac, as I just throw a Document folder alias in there. Perfect!

But on my iPhone, on the Dropbox website, or on a PC, it simply doesn't work. It thinks the alias folder is an unopenable file!

How do I get it to open on other systems? I know I could just copy it to there and update it once in awhile, but the automatic updating with aliases is perfect.

Safari :: Syncing Bookmarks Using Dropbox?

Jun 21, 2012

I recently found an article on how to sync safari bookmarks using Dropbox. Article can be found here: [url]I'm using a latest 27" iMac, running Lion as my main work machine, along with a MacBook Pro 15" running Leopard.I've followed instructions in the article and got my MBP to sync with my iMac.The problem occurs when I add a new bookmark on my iMac, it seems to create a new .plist in the safari library folder as opposed to updating the one in my Dropbox. Thus not syncing. I haven't tried the other way i.e adding a new bookmark on my MBP.
