Stop folders from popping open?

Is there a way to stop folders and subfolders from automatically opening when dragging in a new bookmark? It's painfully annoying that it opens and a long list of what's inside forces everything else out of view. When I do the same thing in Firefox, it behaves exactly as I would expect. Just like dragging any file into any folder.
Thanks

Hi. Thanks for the reply.
Finder preferences do not seem to affect Safari in that way. No matter how I set folder preferences, Safari bookmark folders insist on popping open upon dragging bookmarks inside. Note: this does not happen when dragging a bookmark from an open folder over to the left where Show All Bookmarks is open. It happens when trying to drag between subfolders. Imagine a primary folder (like News or something) and inside are folders organized by type. Trying to drag a bookmark from one of those to another one is when it happens. And it is terribly counter productive and counter intuitive.
Whew!

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

How can I stop iCal from popping up for no reason ?

Since today, my iCal is popping up as an opened application for no reason and I've had, up to now, to quit it 3 times. It's really annoying. I don't even use iCal anymore since I have BusyCal, which is a better version of iCal, but a totally different application.
How can I stop iCal from popping up for no reason like that. Please, anyone, help me.

What exactly is triggering this, are you clicking on some kind of file?

How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

Hi, well as the title states:
How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
It's getting on my nerves...
Thanks.

This might also be helpful:
I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.
Nathan
set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
set answer to button returned of question
if answer is equal to "Yes" then
tell application "iPhoto" to activate
end if

How to stop Acrobat from automatically opening created PDF?

This may be a question asked elsewhere, but my search didn't find it.
How can I stop Acrobat from automatically opening every PDF that I create in Adobe Reader? I'm using using Acrobat 6.0 Pro.
Thanks for your help with this major annoyance!
Cheers.

Adobe does not recommend Reader and Acrobat both be installed. They have strange interactions and can cause problems. If you do not have problems, you are lucky. Part of the problem is that they leave a part resident to enable quick opening. If it works for you, then fine. If you have some problems, you at least have an idea of what a prime candidate is for the error.

Hi
This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

Stop folders from automicatically duplicating themselves

How do I stop folders from automicatically duplicating? This involves 'regular' folders (not pertaining to any specific application) & mail folders in locations other than V2 in my user library, that are continually duplicating. I have no mail rules. Also, I've been using Araxis Find Duplicate Files, with the intent of cleaning up.
Thank you!

In Photoshop CS5, there is an option in the Layers Panel Options called 'Add "copy" to Copied Layers and Groups.'
You can access the Layers Panel Options window by clicking on this button…
…and choosing "Panel Options…" near the bottom of the menu.
There are some other interesting options in there that might be of interest to you.

Stopping Safari from auto-opening all old windows

I find Safari openning all of my windows from when I last shut down incredibly aggrivating. Not only to I not want it but it takes FOREVER to get its barings and even start to load all the pages. I don't understand why Lion has all of these incredibly un-useful features turned on by default with no clear way how to turn them off.
If any one knows how to stop this from happening I'd greatly appriciate it. I've done a search and not really found anything. Thanks!

3 or 4 things you can do.
(1) Turn off this "resume" feature for all applications via the checkbox near the bottom of the System Preferences, General pane.
(2) Close all windows by hand before you quit safari.
(3) option-quit safari.
(4) Launch Safari from the dock using shift-click.

I have installed version 6.0.2. Everytime I start Firefox, a popup opens up titled 'opening firefox setup 6.0.2.exe' and offers to save the file. How do I stop this from popping up since I already have the version offered?

The update was attempted automatically, I think. When it would not complete it said download and run the update manually. I did that. Every time I start Firefox the Firefox Setup 6.0.2.exe file is offered up to save.

* see [[firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]
Probably you have accidentally added the new page as an addition to your home pages, or Firefox is having problems with your settings; it may help to close down with the <br/> '''Firefox button -> []Exit'''; rather than just quitting the application.
