How to prevent Finder from asking permission to use Trash?

All: How can I prevent Finder from asking permission to use Trash? This wasn't a problem until two weeks ago. Now it is.
Thanks

Do not empty the Trash in the shell. That's both dangerous and unnecessary.
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

How to prevent Finder from indexing and searching specific folder?

One of my folders contains hundred of thousand of small files, its a dataset for study, its not a personal files and I don't care at all to know what's in there. Because it too huge every time I try to find anything in finder I see the majority of the results coming from this folder. Also, I believe that because this dataset is updated from time to time this will slow my machine every time it tries to index it.
My question: Is there a way to make Finder NOT seeing a specific folder or directory?
Many thanks,,

How to Prevent Pacman from asking Confirmation (Y/n) questions?

I want to put a couple pacman install commands in a ".sh" file and want it to download and install on itself. I know I can do it by:
pacman -S <package1> <package2>
But thats not what I want. I want pacman to entirely bypass the "Proceed to install?" question. Is there a way to do this?
P.S: Is this plain stupid?
"y" | pacman -S <package>

I might use the --noconfirm flag after vetting the list of upgrades available with a -Syyu which contained a larger then expect number of "application" packages - especially true with anything from the AUR... anything mission critical would get my full attention however (kernel upgrades etc).
The only other "fair use" of --noconfirm might be when doing a scripted install from a personal repo... In which case you are probably prepared to clean up the carnage and run the risk anyway

Heya,
how do you prevent firefox from asking to be the default browser the first time you run it.
(it's kinda annoying on a live CD lol)

Edit > Preferences etc. works by opening firefox
but in a Live CD, I'm trying to find the way to preconfigure it that way
The solution I'm thinking of is copying my .mozilla settings folder in the live CD's home folder but I was wondering if there's another way

How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

Hey there.
I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
Thanks for your help

How to stop Mac from asking to "upgrade" to Mavericks

I have a shared MacBook Pro that has to stay in Mountain Lion for certain software to work. Others in my family use this computer on different users.
How to stop Mavericks from asking to install itself? No matter how many times I control click on the Mavericks item in the app store, it keeps coming back and asking.
Recently, someone accidentally clicked on update and it downloaded the whole thing. Fortunately, they got off before it asked to restart. When I clicked "cancel" I went to the Applications folder and deleted the "Install OS X Mavericks" app.
Please help. I don't want to EVER again have any user on this Mac be persuaded to "upgrade" (which shadily does not say "upgrade to Mavericks).
Other users need to install apps, so suggesting I limit their administrative access will not help.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, that didn't work. (and I forgot to list it in my original question). I had tried "Ignore" several times and all that happens is, literally nothing). The Mac ignores the CD and so does Virtual PC.
I've also tried going into Virtual PC preferences, looking for anything relating to CD's and can't find anything there. I've even tried sharing drives between the programs, copying things to the shared drive, and burning to CD on the Mac, but this particular issue can't be resolved that way.
The specific file I'm trying to burn with Virtual PC is a Midi File downloaded from Yamaha Musicsoft, to play on my player piano. Yamaha has a download program that "exports" files to floppy disk but it's not Mac compatible. So I'm using Virtual PC and attempting to export the file via the Yamaha downloader, either to a floppy disk image or a CD image, and neither is working as the downloader doesn't recognize the CD and won't recognize a virtual floppy either.

I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

From a table how do u find whether a material is used in another material B

hi,
From a table how do u find whether a material is used in another material BOM
thanks in advance

Yes as Velu mentioned you can get the details from STPO.
Note that you have to use field IDNRK in table STPO to check if the material is used as a BOM Component.

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
I have two tables: table A and table B.
Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
There is an index on this column in table A.
So I instead of
where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
When I use the join in a select statement it works.
But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
Any ideas why this happens?
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
Regards Hartmut

I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
In SQL*Plus:
SET LINESIZE 130
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.

Randolf

How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

Hello guys
I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
Please advise
Thank you

Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

Prevent Finder from being killed

Hi all -
Is there a way to prevent Finder from being killed when I 'accidentally' Cmd-Q it? It is really frustrating to have to relaunch it all the time.

Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
tell application "Finder" to quit
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem 0"
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
This setting is off by default.

How to prevent iCloudDrive from waking computer from sleep?

My PC wakes up periodically from sleep. After the checking the event logs, the logs show that iCloudDrive.exe process is causing the computer to wake up from sleep.

How to prevent B1 from populating the grid with components?

Hello group,
We have customized a form that pops up when user enters a parent item (of a template-type BOM) in the quotation grid. The form displays the component items and lets the user mark which items to "paste" onto the quotation. However, B1 automatically populates the grid with the component items once focus moves away from the item code column.
<b>How to prevent B1 from populating the grid with components <i>while</i> retaining the parent item in the item code column?</b> I've tried trapping the Validate event, etc. with no success.

Instead of setting the parent item up as a template type BOM, you could set up the list of parent/child items on a user table and use this user table to display the items in your pop-up screen. As the parent item would no longer be a template BOM, Business One would no longer automatically popuplate the grid, and you could write your own code to add only the items selected in your pop-up screen into the grid.
John.
