How do I disable the internal mic on my iMac 27", when I use an external mic on Skype or other groups? I'm using osx Mavericks. I use system preferences to turn the internal mic volume down to 0, and every time try to make attest call on Skype it pops back up.
View 6 RepliesIs there a tweak out there that will disable the internal display while using an external monitor WITHOUT having to first close the lid on my macbook because I just leave my macbook plugged in for weeks a couple feet away from my desk and it's become a hassle to first close the lid, then move my mouse, then open the lid for better ventilation. I just want to leave it open and disable the display!

I occasionally click links such as "contact us" in websites that I expect to take me to something that shows an email address, but instead they automatically make my mail application open up, and that's just annoying as ****.
I know I can command+click to copy the email address. I don't need this alternate solution/not really a solution to this problem.
Preferences in the application is unavailable, I assume until I choose an account to add as it prompts me to do upon opening.
So how can I make it so that mail never opens just because I click an address?

Since I upgraded to Mavericks, my once slick and awesome appointment system has been hobbled due to the new calendar integration.... I create a new event, and try to type "conf call" into the location and I have to wait about 4 minutes whilst maps goes through its entire database of locations desperately trying to find something that matches for each and every single letter that I type. Now when I want to create a new conference call in my calendar, I type "conf call" and go get a refill on my filter coffee while I wait for it to fail and timeout looking for an address that doesn't exist.
I'm sure the feature is awesome for people that create the occasional meeting, and always have the time to wait for neat-o address magic to happen, but I'd just like to turn it off. The paperclip was a bad idea when MS did it in Office all those years ago, let's not revisit.

I have already set the default application to open PDFs to Preview by using the "Open with..." and "Change All" option.
Now PDFs open in Preview, but I have a weird side effect: when I create a PDF (from Microsoft Word, etc.) the document is created with an Adobe Reader ICON, it then quickly changes to a Preview ICON (and opens in Preview).
PDFs are doing what I want, but the flash of Adobe Reader ICON (pun intended) is quite annoying. I have searched through the Adobe Reader Preferences and can find nothing that seems related.

I've recently experienced my 2013 MBP 13" getting slower and as the HD was getting full I decided to upgrade from 500GB to 1 TB.
The first disk i tried was the Seagate sshd slim hybrid disk. This disk was fine (and bootable) in an external USB enclosure, but once I cloned my MBP (using CCC) and mounted the disk internally it wouldn't boot. I tried formatting the disk using disk utility, both booted from the original HD i the usb enclosure and via the online recovery system. All to no avail. Disk utility kept giving error messages saying "can not make disk passive"(roughly translated from Danish).
At that point CCC tech support told me to get a new HD as he was certain it was faulty.
I did just that but now the new (WD blue 1 TB) drive can't be formated as well. I get the error: "wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed"
I am at a loss as to what to do. The MBP works fine, albeit slow booted from the original HD, but I can't seem to partition any new drive.

I am using a 2009 27" iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4. Occasionally the OS freezes and the following message appears:
An Internal Messages error occurred.
There was a problem with Messages. You need to quit and open Messages again.
The mouse still moves, but the rest of the OS is totally frozen. I try to click on the Quit button in the error message dialog, but that does nothing.
There is no reaction to keyboard presses. The only solution is to hold down the Power button until the computer shuts off.
I have an iMac and since the install of Mavericks the secondary HDD is always spinning (even if there are no data in it).
What can I do ? The continuos drive noise is very annoying ... and sure this wil shorten drive's life.

My Computer: Mid 2010 - 15" MacBook Pro - OSX 10.9.3 My Past Issue:
I have two internal drives, one SSD one HD. I have my OS and applications on the SSD and my home folder on the HD. I have an external drive that I was using as a time machine backup and had no issue backing up both drives. The problem arose when I needed to restore my computer. Time machine had backed up the data as basically one drive, so when trying to restore it wanted to load all the data onto either the HD or the SSD ONLY. I was unable to restore as the combined data was to large for either drive. I was able to get my computer back in working order, but would like to avoid such a catastrophe in the future. My Current Issue:
What I am hoping to accomplish would be to partition the external drive, and then have two independent time machine backups. One for the SSD and one for the HD. This way I would be able to restore the drives separately in the future if needed.

I like putting my imac to sleep. Unfortunately I have a cat that moves the mouse and steps on the keyboard while I am work. Is there any way I can disable the keyboard and mouse and just use the power button to wake it up from sleeping?
I basically want to keep it asleep as much as possible to save on electricity, since I am not home about 10 hours of the day and asleep for the other 7, makes no sense in draining all the electricity. I was hoping someone could lead me to a small piece of software that allow this to happen.
