How do I disable secure trash in Lion?

Is it possible to reset the trash back to the way it worked before I upgraded (?) to Lion? The 'empty trash securely' checkbox in the Finder prefs is not checked.

the trash empties securely every time. I don't want that. I want the option to simply collect the trash, to empty when I'm ready to do so.
It wasn't much of a problem until I deleted something important today, by accident.
I'm not sure what problem you are actually describing.
You keep using the term "secure empty trash, which is a feature that acts on items that are already in the Trash, having been moved there normally. "Secure empty trash" then deletes those items by overwriting them so that data-recovery software cannot later retrieve them. It is a much slower process than emptying the Trash normally.
Is that what you are seeing, or are you instead experiencing a completely different problem such that you can't store items in the Trash at all, possibly with a warning like this when you try to move things there:

How do I disable Security Warning - "The application requires an earlier...

h4. How do I disable Security Warning - "The application requires an earlier Java. Do you want to continue?" ?
The message is correct - our ESS application requires 1.4.08, but this message has begun with 1.6.11. Earlier versions of 1.6 did not produce this. Is there any setting anywhere that I can use to prevent this from displaying for my users?
Thanks.

The simplest approach is to only have the latest version of Java "enabled".
A fix, step-by-step, is as follows:
1. Close all browsers;
2. Make sure you are running latest version of Java (check this via Java Control Panel in Windows Control Panel, or, more simply, just download latest version from Java.com) (as of today's date, the latest version is 1.6.0_14);
3. Open Java Control Panel (via Windows Control Panel);
4. Go to "Java" tab;
5. Click on "View" in "Java Applet Runtime Settings" of that tab;
6. Uncheck "Enabled" for every version of Java listed EXCEPT for the latest version;
7. Click "OK", etc., and thus close Java Control Panel;
8. Restart browser(s);
9. Done.
Alternatively, you can Uninstall all earlier versions via Windows Control Panel - Programs and Features (This is in Vista; similarly in other Windows versions)... Select previous versions and uninstall them. Leave the most current version.
This was a puzzling one, at least for me. Took a while to figure out.

How do I disable security settings on PDF fillable form?

The PDF fillable form was made in Word and saved as a PDF. I tried copying it then bringing into Acrobat Pro X to make it a fillable form. Saved with Enabled Features but when opened into Reader I get a security warning restricting adding text or placing a signature. I've tried changing setting and can't figure out what is wrong or even if it's possible it fix this.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Kwiley

It is "The security settings on this document prevent adding text and /or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader. To fill and sign this document you need to print it out." These forms need to be fillable because they change and then my client places her signature or her bosses signature on the page. Is there another way to do this?
Thanks,
Kathy

How do I disable FireWire in Mountain Lion? Where are my Mountain Lion FireWire kexts?

I just installed Mountain Lion and when starting up in verbose mode the output starts printing this in an endless loop:
ERROR: FireWire (OHCI) TI ID 8025 built-in: handleUnrecoverableErrorInt
I have had this error before, and I am aware that my FireWire port is fried. Ever since 10.5 I have resolved this problem by booting via Safe Mode and removing my firewire kernel extensions:
sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWire* /Users/karl/Desktop/
This does the trick. After that, I have no problems with my computer (other than never being able to use FireWire). I have to repeat this process every time I update or upgrade my OS. By doing this, I get a few more years out of a late 2007 MacBook Pro at the cost of not having FireWire. I'm OK with that.
But I just upgraded to Mountain Lion, am back in the startup hang, and I cannot find any FireWire kexts in the Extensions folder whatsoever. Where are they? Or does anyone know how to get rid of FireWire in Mountain Lion?

Hi Topher,
Before I saw your post and had a chance to try it, I complicated things by going into Safe Mode and moving some other IO extensions to my Desktop. Since I couldn't find IOFireWire* related kexts, I moved some other kexts starting with "IO" that I mistakenly thought might be related to FireWire. I don't recall all of them, but IOStorageFamily, IOPCIFamily, and IODVDFamily were in there. Naturally this didn't work and I'm facepalming a lot right now.
I figured I could always undo this by booting from my old Snow Leopard DVD, or going into Single User mode, and copying back the extensions from my desktop. However, now when I want to undo my stupidity, all startup options seem to fail:
Boot to Recovery Disk -> FireWire error loop
Boot to Installation DVD -> Hang at Apple logo
Safe Mode -> panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff800064c99b): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1699.32.7/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1 504
Also, once I've gone into Single User mode and run
/sbin/fsck -y and
/sbin/mount -uw /
..I don't see /Users. Thus I cannot find the moved extensions.
Any thoughts on ways to get my extensions back so I can proceed to troubleshoot the FireWire-related ones?

The Time Machines Backup is formated as Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled), my mac is formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
The names on the file are all Uppercase
When I try to copy the Aperture file, it copies about 70% of the file (it's about 33GB in size), and halfway through I get this error.
I'm able to copy 99.99% of all of the images if I open the Aperture Folder using the "show package contents" under the backups using finder (Time Machine Backups>Backups.backupdb>CQ Macbook Air>2012-04-30-070933>HD.....>Pictures>Aperture Library). The only file I can't copy is that picture, which I'm totally ok with deleting, but Finder won't delete it for me. If nothing else works, I could copy the individual masters and re-create the folders, however I'd hate to do this as I would have to go through 10,000+ pics

In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. How I can disable it?

Hello, In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. All is locked. How I can disable it?

Do you mean the check box isn't enabled?
Or you remove the check but it doesn't "stick"?
Or you remove the box but documents are stil getting locked?
That setting doesn't apply to other things in System Preferences, just apps that support AutoSave and Versions. If you're having a problem with System Prefs, please clarify exactly what.

How to disable security prompts on OS X?

How do I disable securty prompts when installing new programs? Below are some examples of what I mean. Also sometimes it asks for my password. It's very annoying. I want to turn these warnings and password promps off completely.
Thank you

I have nothing against security but this prompt is an ineffective, basically useless feature. I downloaded the program in question, I clicked on it asking for it to be installed on my computer - this means that I wish for this program to be on my Mac. These prompts are not telling me anything I don't already know, i.e. that the application is from the internet and that I want to open it. Reminds me of Windows Vista with its never ending prompts.
A much more useful feature would be a behind the scenes scan of the download file to see if it has any viruses or malware.
But once you have accepted the install, then the fault no longer lies with Apple, but with you and/or the Third Party developer, making Apple exempt from blame if you stuff up your system with it. Simple business practice for protection. Keep clicking OK all you want, but don't come back here crying if your OSX has been severly compromised. A lot of us take security of our systems quite seriously.
