Mac OS6: How to disable the "Folder opens when hovering a file" thing

Ya know that Finder feature where you can drag an icon over a folder icon, then if you wait a moment, the folder will open up automatically? Is there a way to disable that annoying little feature?
Thank you-

Click on the desktop, go to the menu and choose Finder > Preferences. Under the General tab, turn off the check box for spring loaded folders.

I've had the same issue bugging me since installing Snow, er, lion, er, cat, er, cougar, er, Mountain Lion. Incredibly ANNOYING.
It's stupid stuff like this and reverse scrolling that really turn long-timer users off. I'm personally glad Forstall got fired for blunders such as these.
I'm serious peeved that turning off iCloud Documents & Data actually deletes documents and data locally. That's just incredibly stupid.
MANY thanks mende1 for the answer on how to fix it.

How to disable the probe() routine when install a pseudo driver

I developed a very simple pseudo driver which does not control any hardware device. I just want to learn dynamic load a driver through the SUN Autoconfiguration method. When I run add_drv mydriver, I got the following error message
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: xlpd
This is because the probe() routine try to look for some hardware but it can not find it. So the question is how to disable this probe() routine so that this pseudo driver can be installed.

attach may fail also if you didn't provide a configuration file for your pseudo driver. Here is a sample for the xlpd pseudo driver:
<pre>
#ident "@(#)xlpd.conf 1.0 02/25/00"
name="xlpd" parent="pseudo";
</pre>
This file must be named xlpd.conf if your pseudo driver is named xlpd, and must be located in /usr/kernel/drv even if your pseudo driver is 64-bit.

To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences. If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums. I do not use Safari.

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

UCM - WEBDAV - How to Disable the New Folder option in the action popup

I am trying to implement WebDav functionality. I don't want the users to create folders in the folder mapped to a security group. As long as the user has privilege to contribute to the security group he/she can checkin documents but they should not be able to create folder under it. I did not find documentation as to how to disable the new folder option in the context action menu that pops up on mouse right click. Is there any way we can do that?
Thanx.

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to networks in general. It is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe:
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
Working across a network in general is not supported by Adobe.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.

How to disable the dashboard and spotlight for the latest Iion OS

How to disable the dashboard and sportlight function in the latest Mac OS?

to disable spotlight, open the terminal and type "sudo mdutil -a -i off" without the quotes. ( You will be prompted to enter your admin password.)
to disable dashboard:
Open Terminal, and then type this command, followed by the Return key:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
This tells the system that you no longer wish to have Dashboard available. However, the Dashboard task is actually “owned” by the Dock, so to make your changes take effect, you need to restart the Dock. The easiest way to do that is to type this command into the Terminal (and press Return when done):
killall Dock
After the Dock restarts, hit F12 and you’ll see…nothing at all. If you run Activity Monitor, you also won’t find any Dashboard widgets in the list of tasks, even if you had several open when you ran the above command.

How can I get a folder to appear in the Folder list when I am trying to import pictures?

There is a folder on my hard drive that does not appear in the list of folders in the import dialog. I have tried expanding all the other folders around it (my photos are filed by date of capture) to see if it was somehow imported as a subfolder. It is simply not there. I can find and open it and access all the pictures in Photoshop Elements but not in Lightroom 4. Any ideas?

I would try this:
In Lr import one photo into a different folder that you can see in the list.
Then in your OS (mac Finder / Win Explorer) move the photo to the folder that you cannot see.
In Lr the photo will now appear with a question mark on its frame. Click directly on the question mark and select <Locate photo>. Navigate to the folder, open it, and click on the photo.
Maybe this will help Lr to recognize the folder.
If this doesn't help try renaming the folder in your OS.
