Disable pinch to zoom, but only for resizing icons?

On my shiny new 17" MacBook Pro (my first ever MacBook, which I'm loving!) I keep inadvertently resizing my Finder/desktop icons using the trackpad. Can I switch off the pinch to zoom gesture for this purpose, without switching it off entirely?
Cheers

you can try BetterTouchTool (search using google) and set for finder to use the pinch gestures to do something like volume up or some key combo. It works pretty well. If you try this method and have and questions, let me know.

Reconsider an option to disable pinch-to-zoom...

Hi there.
I know that I have created a topic like this before, but I would like to ask you to reconsider adding an option to disable pinch-to-zoom on iOS, when controlling the mouse pointer in the Remote Desktop app.
I have use Remote Desktop for iOS every day, pretty much since the day it came out, and it is far superior to any other remote app on the market in my opinion.
But I really can't stand the pinch-to-zoom feature that was suddenly added.
I use two-finger-scroll a lot, but it really annoys me that 80-90% of the time the app thinks I want to zoom instead, even though I'm very precise in planting my two fingers horizontally and dragging them straight up-and-down.
And you would think that if you are able to add a new feature you should definitely be able to add an option to disable it for those that don't want to use it.
I really hope you will reconsider adding that option, because using the other control mode where pinch-to-zoom is disabled is not really an option for me.
Thanks in advance and many greetings from Denmark.

My iPhone 4s cannot join a public unsecured network but my iPad and macbook can. I have reset the network settings twice. Both times it worked, but only for a few minutes. What can I do?

My iphone 4s cannot join a public unsecured network, but my ipad and macbook can with no problems. I have reset the network settings on the iphone twice. Both times that fixed the problem but only for a few minutes, then I get the "cannot join network" message again. Please help! What can I do?

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

Calenndar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date month. How do I do this with the new operating system?

Adding to Alan's answer:
One of the problems that comes with these tricks for variable-rate acquisition is being able to match up sample data with the time that it was sampled.
If you weren't using either of E-series board's counters, there is a nifty solution to this! You'll be using 1 of the counters to generate the variable-rate sampling clock. You can then use the 2nd counter to perform a buffered period measurement on the output of the 1st counter. This gives you a hw-timed measurement of every sampling interval. You would need to keep track of a cumulative sum of these periods to generate a hw-accurate timestamp value for each sample.
Note: the very first buffered period measurement is the time from starting the 2nd counter until the first active edge from the 1st. For your app, you should ignore it.

I'm updating my iphone 4. I can see that the update has been installed on the phone, but only for a second before it asks me to restore/back up from iCloud or iTunes, which I've done THREE times. It has to be something really simple...please HELP

Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

In Mac OS X v10.7, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
Open Finder and use one of these:
* Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
* Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
You can also use this command in a Terminal window to remove the hidden flag.
* Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Terminal
* chflags nohidden ~/Library

LiveCycle = XFA forms.
afaik - These cannot be used in Apple OSs.

How to fix Adobe App Manager error code -60 Download appears corrupt but only for Photoshop CS6 app

How to fix Adobe App Manager error code -60 Download appears corrupt but only for Photoshop CS6 Creative Suite Cloud App. Many attempts were made to install Photoshop CS6 with Adobe Application Manager without success. Every other Creative Suite Application was successfully downloaded. I keep getting Installation Failed when attempting the Photoshop install. How does one correct this?

Thanks Jeff! So, it totally appears as if it was a network issue. The corporate network where I work is quite likely the culprit. Where I was thrown off is that since I have admin rights on my computer, I can install software. But using Adobe Application Manager to install Adobe software wasn't working. And to make matters worse, there didn't appear to be any way to install Acrobat Pro for Mac without using AAM. The workaround that I used previously was to install the trial versions of Adobe software, and then just register them using my username and password. But the workaround for being able to install everything using AAM was to bring my computer home and download from my home network.

My Acrobat 8 Pro is failing to print to a pdf from multiple software. I get an error message that a repair fixes but only for a little while. Pretty soon the trial version of 9 that I installed pops up telling me it has expired but it would take me to a way to buy a valid serial number and then 8 stops working again. I’d be happy if the 8 I paid for worked right or I could get 9 for a small cost but I cannot afford $450 or $20/month. I need a permanent solution that I should be already paid for with 8 pro.

After multiple repair procedures with reboot in AA8 I was eventually able to restore the printing to pdf function from various software. However I have again lost my Acrobat tab in Outlook 2007. I need that back, but today an even bigger problem arose. AA8 has stopped printing to fax. It faxes a blank page. The only fax printing option is “Microsoft Shared Fax Driver”. My fax software is “Windows Fax and Scan” and it was working fine just a couple weeks ago. My OS is Windows 7 Professional.
I have tried doing the updates you referred to but I get error messages like these:
“No qualifying products found to apply this update, or update has been already applied”
or
“The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing , or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.”

Applications are mentioned free, but when we start downloading one dollar is charged in my credit card, but only for the first time when i switch on and use it for the first time one dollar is charged. and from next application it is free. why?

Kindly inform any email id or toll free number to contact apple for your below answer, Mr.King_Penguin
About receiving my credit card being debited for Free App Store Application downloads,
It should be within a few days, but it might vary a bit by bank/provider :
I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
Rajagopal.pngr :- It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple.

I'm getting repeated prompts to enter my password, but only for calendars

I'm getting repeated prompts to enter my password, but only for iCal. In iCal I see an alert, and when I bring it up I get this:
My other iCloud functions seem to be working fine. I'm iMessaging, etc.

I've seen a couple reports on here, and mine has been down for an hour or more. However, as usual there is no indication of issues on the iCloud status page.

Ask whom/wherever you got the redemption code from for one that has not already been used.

It may not be a good soloution for a novice, but I have been using hosts files to block unwanted URLs for many years with zero disasters and lots of positive results.
As I noted, whenever I find a new "bad" site, I simply add the name to my hosts file. It takes a few seconds and then it's gone forever. I find no difficulty whatsoever.
No, it's not for everyone, which is why I gave no specific details; but for those who are interested and have the desire to learn about these hosts files, it is a very good way to avoid "bad" websites.
I also enjoy the "clean" view of a webpage when there are no ads showing at all. The page loads faster and the distractions are gone.
I never realized how much junk I am supressing until I got my iPad and saw all those horrid ads that are blocked on my other computers.
Here is a typical result of properly using a hosts file:

i have done all 7 steps recommended by the troubleshooting articles and only when i restart my router does my library show on apple tv2 but only for about 5 minutes, this was never a problem before the updates of itunes and apple tv2, i have spent insane amounts of money on the apple store buying movies and tv shows that i cannot watch anymore, and no there is no firewall on my laptop nor my router, so no port configuration is needed
i have read many articles for this problem but there is no solution, some say restart the router, others say uncheck the option to sync iphone over wi-fi, others suggest not hitting the "done" button after setting up homeshare on itunes, NONE of them work. My itunes library disappears from ym apple tv 2 after 5 minutes or so

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.
