How do you disable auto delete in OSX 10.8?

Since I have upgraded to OSX 10.8 (currently running 10.8.2) I've noticed that when I delete a file it always asks for my password before sending the document to the trash AND as soon as I type my password the file is permanently deleted.
How do I change the trash setting so that once I select to move something to the trash it will sit there until I manually empty the trash?
Thanks in advance!

Choose your Home folder "Get Info" (command-i) and be sure you have "read & write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. Check under "General" section to be sure it isn't locked. If that is correct, launch Applications/Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt copy & paste this command…
mkdir ~/.Trash
If you get a message that the folder already exists, copy & paste these commands...
sudo chown $UID ~/ .Trash
Press return.
Enter your admin password (it will be invisible)
Press return.Then enter
chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
Press return. Log out and back in, or restart.

How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!

Can someone please help me with this query:
How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!
I continue to have a pop saying that either the file in open somewhere in the serve- which it is not- and I cannot delete a particular pdf or edit it.
It's incredibly frustrating and in the end I end up having four files with different names because it won't let me edit the original file!!!!

Hi Amila1,
Are the pdfs stored on a network location?
If so is the Preview pane turned ON?
Please check the doc: http://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10862.aspx

How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes?

How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes? I know there is a key press combo that will do it but I forget which keys. Anyone?
Intel Piii Windows XP Pro

Keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
Another Easier Alternative:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
Note: If connecting to a different computer than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.

HT1695 How do you disable an existing WiFi auto connect?

I have an Apple iPhone 4. Under Settings > General > Network > WiFi it states "Known networks will be joined automatically. If no know networks are available, you will be asked before joining a new network." My question is, how do you disable the automatic connection to known networks?
Thanks,
Sue

If you are near the Wifi network you want to disable, it will be listed in the listing of available networks, obviously.
Tap the blue arrow on the right side of the wifi's name. If the network offers auto join and auto login you can turn them off here. Not all networks offer this. If you just want to keep your phone from automatically joining a specific network you have used in the past you can tap Forget this network and you will be disconnected from it.
Or if you want to disable all wifi networks you have joined in the past you can reset your network settings.
Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
this will reset your cellular connection as well as your wifi connections. You will have to enter any ID and Password information for the networks that require you to log in, such as your home wifi network (You do have your home network password protected right?) but you will have disabled your wifi connections.

How to temporarily disable on delete cascade but not the constraint

Hi all
i would like to know if this is possible
how to temporarily disable on delete cascade but not the constraint
i want to delete a row from the primary key table but i dont want the data from the foreign key to be deleted even though there is an on delete cascade set.
how do i temporarily disable on delete cascade from firing without disabling the constraint
Rgrds

There is an option which I've never used before but just read about which is to create your foreign key constraint as on delete SET NULL
instead of on delete cascade.
This will allow you to delete a parent and will set the foreign key column values in the child table to nulls
e.g.
SQL> create table parent (father varchar2(30) primary key,
2                       age number);
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> create table child (father varchar2(30) constraint fk references parent(father) on delete set null,
2                      child varchar2(30),
3                      age number);
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> insert into parent values ('JOHN', 34);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into child values ('JOHN', 'SARAH', 10);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into child values ('JOHN', 'BILL', 12);
1 row created.
SQL>
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL>
SQL> delete from parent where father = 'JOHN';
1 row deleted.
SQL>
SQL> select * from child;
FATHER                         CHILD                                 AGE
                               SARAH                                  10
                               BILL                                   12

How can I stop auto deletion of messages from my inbox?
I've tried to fix this by changing the IMAP account's Junk settings so that they are moved either to the
"Junk" folder on 'account name'
or
Other: (drop down list for choosing accounts and one of its folders) Junk on 'account name'
I am sure I lost all of my important, not junk mail, amazon.com messages as well as other messages from comercial sites.
Secondly: Please tell me what the difference is between the 2 junk folder choices above.
Thank you,

What operating system are you using?
Unless your talking about the welcome screen that gives a choice of what to start when ckicking on the pse 3 shortcut (welcome screen, organizer or editor)
Window>Welcome in the editor or organizer
Or auto launching the adobe photo downloader when you have a camera or camera card connected.

How do you disable - hotsync manager window's fade out on close?

For the newer version of Palm Desktop and Hotsync Manager, how do you make the hotsync manager window stop fading out when closed or "done".
It stops me from being able to access ANYTHING until the fade is completed, and that is a complete waste of my time, also when I have much more important things going on (alarms/alerts) that can't be silenced during the fade.
And ... how do you disable the splash screen startup for the Palm Desktop, and how do you get the palm desktop to conform to standard windows start practices, so that when you open the program it comes up on the screen at the same windowed size I closed it at?
Thanks!!
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Thank you ... however it was already set for "normal window". I deleted the icon and recreated and that seemed to fix it though, not sure why.
As for the splash ... its a waste of time ... the application loads faster than "they" would expect so all it does is extra advertizing for Access without having a purpose. And again, its not just a second or so, its 3 to 5 seconds depending on what else I'm doing.. and if I'm reading an email while double clicking the icon to have it start on my second monitor.. the spash covers my email till the program's running.
The worse delay is the fade. You already admit that it can vary depending on a number of things.. well that programmer may have thought it were very cool on a quad core intel @ 3 GHz .... try it on a 1 G p3, with an older video card. Or try it on an older laptop .... the delay is 6 to 10 seconds while it fades it self to the nethers, it certainly didn't "CLOSE" when I told it to.. it took its dear sweet time.
The programmer probably thought "hey this is really cool mahn.. watch it fade away..." by the third time of being into or out of the settings that re-triggers the closing fade, I was ready to kill that programmer. Make him suffer for the stupidity of his vision. Its one thing to make it "cool" and give people the option to live with that plain jane every day FASTER response... and quite the other to force people to relive your "cool" idea every f**king day, every time they go into settings, or need to see the log for what failed on backup.. etc.
Ever go upto a windows XP pc when someone says it seems slow and *de-select* the "FADE" option for their menus?? (Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> deselect "use the following transition") I have ... and its amazing how perception changes because the menus are there NOW, not taking their time to pull off some grandious entrance ... the first time it may have been cool.. but by the 500 th time you've been into your start menu a year into the game.. that slow fade crap is working on your every nerve.
Poor impulse control would have had me killing the programmer that put that fade in there.. now I just want to put him in for an hour or two of waterboarding.
It was bad programming to force some idiots idea of a "cool" view on people, and the programmer should be shot down for it. It shouldn't be... and it wasn't there before, so some mornon actually went out of their way to put something in because the program just wasn't "cool" enough for them.. and then they decided to F the rest of us by making it so we couldn't DEselect that slice of programmers heaven.
It may sound like I'm blowing things out of proportion... but really, it was fine the way it was, now they've gone and F'd it up. Moves for the better get little publicity, you have to live with the knowledge no one is bitching, but when you screw something up ... you need to fix it and need to hear how badly your lack of vision made things for others.
and.. if they wont' fix it.. its coming off the pc.. I'll go back to the old "uncool" version.

I don't have access to my phone at the moment so I'm going on memory alone. On your homescreen follow Options>Advanced System Settings>Cell Broadcasting, or maybe you'll see Options>Device>Advanced System Settings>Cell Broadcasting. I'm sorry I can't be more specific without a phone in front of me.
Let us know if that helps you.

How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive?

How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive without starting that drive
and seeing the system profiler? In fact, because the drive wont start up, Now I am wondering if it is pre-intel. ? CMD-I doesn't do it. Thanks

Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.
