If you need a temporary break from all those alerts and banners, but you don't want to turn off notifications altogether, Hints readerguillaumegete notes that you can pause the Notification Center with one click: Press the Option key while clicking on the Notification icon in the right end of the menu bar. This will pause the display of notifications. To reactivate them, you can either Option-click the same icon again; display notifications at the right of the screen by clicking on the Notification Center icon, then toggle the Show Alerts and Banners switch from Off to On; or just wait until tomorrow, when they'll go back on automatically.

They keep you scared to keep you

Stop being scared and start standing

I have a PB running Snow Leopard, a little over a year old. Since fairly close to the beginning I noticed that I would get a blue screen when my screen saver would be running. I turned that off and didn't have problems generally. Then I got LightRoom and after a bit in there I get it again while downloading from my camera, more often than not. The only way I have been able to remedy it is by restarting.

It appears that everything in the background is running because I can hear alerts when I hit the wrong key commands, I can change the brightness of the screen also. So, I have been doing my saves and quits (while in a blue screen) and then I can shut down safely using normal procedure. When it restarts everything is fine again.

Help! Apple has been of no help.

thanks,
Paula Bindrich
