Turn off folder pop-up in Dock

Hi,
Is it possible to turn off the popping up of the contents of a folder that you have in the dock?
In Tiger it used be opened in the finder
Thanks,
Darren

No, no longer true in Leopard, which introduced "stacks." From Mac help:
Folders in the Dock are called “stacks.” A stack can be a handful of documents, a group of applications, or a set of folders—anything you need to use frequently. When you click a stack, it springs open in an arc or a grid, depending on the number of items.
The Dock comes with two stacks already in place: the Downloads folder, where items you download from the Internet are stored, and the Documents folder, the default location for new documents you create. You can add more stacks by dragging folders to the Dock. You can create as many stacks as you like.
Not everyone likes the "stacks," and the OP preferred instead to have the Dock icon for a folder act like a true alias that immediately opens the target folder in a Finder window. A way to make this happen in Leopard is to create an alias to the folder first and drag the alias to the Dock, as I posted.

    What OS X version are you using?
    Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

  • How turn off IE Pop up blocker on local testing

    Is there a way to turn off IE Pop up blocker on local
    testing? I tried to turn it off and allow the URL but since it
    reside on my local machine it won't let me. Its really annoying
    having to click and allow each time I test my page in the browser.
    I set all the active X to enable and still won't fix it.

    >I set all the active X to enable and still won't fix it
    I think that's all there is to it (assuming you're in IE6).
    Did you do the
    following:
    Tools > Options > Advanced (tab) > Scroll down to
    Security > Check to Allow
    active content to run in files on My Computer.
    If so, I apologise but I thought just in case...

  • I turned off Safari pop up blocker but it still says I have a pop up blocker.  How do I find pop-up blockers?

    I have turned the pop-up blocker off in Safari, but I still am getting the message to turn off my pop up blocker when I try to read my e-mail in AOL.  It will not let me click on any e-mail to go to a web site.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Turning off the Widgets in the dock

    Hi,
    I want to turn off my widgets in the dock to save memory. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Hi, WA.
    This answer depends on what you mean by "the dock." I'm assuming the Dock, since you stated "dock" not the Widget Bar.
    Given that, I read your question to mean that you want to use the Dashboard icon in the Dock to close a Widget, similar to how one can switch to an open window in a given application from that application's Dock icon, or Quit/Hide an application from its Dock icon. Correct?
    If that's the case, then the answer is no: you have to open Dashboard to close a widget.
    You don't need to disable widgets as JDee suggested in order to close them and save the RAM and VM they are using. If there's a widget open on the Dashboard and you no longer want it active, simply close it:
    1. Open Dashboard.
    2. Either:• Click the in the lower-left corner of Dashboard. Click the (X) in the upper-left corner of each widget you want to close. Close Dashboard.
    • Press and hold the Option key, then mouse over a Widget you want to close. Click the (X) in the Widget's upper-left corner and it will close. Mouse over and close additional widgets as desired. Release the Option key. Close Dashboard.If you use the Widget Manager (Widgets widget) as JDee suggested, then you are removing the widget from the Widget Bar, meaning you'll have to enable the widget in the Widget Manager before you can use that widget again in the future.
    Widgets only consume RAM and VM when they are on the Dashboard. They consume neither RAM nor VM simply by being in the Widget Bar: that simply lists installed widgets which are available to be placed on the Dashboard (activated).
    Good luck!

    After this frustrating event, just wanted to let others know how I solved it.  After fully deleting iTunes 8 - still no success.  Finally went to the Apple store in Perth WA.  Using their in store wireless, it downloaded fully.  I use wireless 3 and obviuosly the signal is not strong enough.  The Apple store is one amzing experience - worth the frustration with getting iTunes 10 downloaded.  Will have to take another visit to the store as my upgrades keep falling over.

  • How do I turn off the pop up blocker notification?

    I have been searching for the method to turn off the notification that a pop-up has been blocked. There is supposedly an icon somewhere that I can click to tell Firefox not to send me the message. I have left clicked, and right clicked in the places that look like possible options, but do not get the option to turn off the notifications.
    The notifications are as irritating as the pop-ups. Please help.
    Thank you,
    René Marlin

    hello rené, you can enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage''' - double-click and toggle that entry to '''false''' in order to hide the popup notification bar.
