Turn off zoom & rotate options for trackpad

I use Photoshop and Word with my new MacBook, and the new zoom and rotate features for the trackpad are absolutely infuriating! It often rotates and zooms the photos I'm working on, or zooms the word document, because my fingers might barely graze the surface of this new, larger trackpad. And Apple decided not to make these features optional in the System Preferences. So it's a real bother to my workflow. Does anybody know how to a) turn it off, or b) get Apple to put together an update that will allow us to toggle all the features in the system preferences?
Thanks,
Ian

Thanks, but that doesn't actually address the problem I have. Let's be very specific, so as to avoid all the other confusions that were in the post you referenced.
I am not referring to "screen zoom" which zooms the entire screen.
I am not referring to anything dealing with Safari or Firefox.
I am only referring to the rotate and zoom features in System Preferences > Trackpad for the new MacBook; these features do not have a toggle on/off choice for the no-button trackpad. In certain applications, e.g. Adobe Photoshop, this rotate and zoom function is worse than useless.
The bundles and other plug ins that people made work specifically for web browsers, and I need something that disables zoom and rotate system wide, or at least for my personal choice of applications. Does anyone have a solution? Does anyone know an insider at Apple that can write a patch for this?

Unfortunately, you cannot with a 2G iPod touch, and, if your info is correct at the bottom of your post, not with iOS 3. This was a feature for iOS 4, but again, even if you had iOS 4, 2G's weren't given that feature for whatever reason.

How Can I Turn OFF Junk Mail Filter for IMAP Accounts Only?

I am trying to figure out how to turn off the Junk Mail filtering for IMAP accounts such as .Mac/.ME and GMAIL. All filtering is working fine on the server side, and reviewing the mail that is tagged is easy enough by just going to the account and displaying the folders created on the server.
I've checked the Junk mail pref and although the Advance settings let you isolate specific accounts to check, it does not give you the option bypass checking an account.
i.e.
if <Any> of the following conditions are met:
<Account> <is not> <Gmail (IMAP)>
As is, the mail rules are working perfectly on the server side, but in Apple Mail, many mails are being sent the Apple Mail's Junk folder.
When going through the Gmail's instructions on setting up a Gmail account for Apple Mail, it specifically says to turn off Junk mail filtering for the account, but I can't find any options to do that.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

I haven't tried this, but it should work:
Make a new rule,
If <Any> <Account> is <Gmail> or <Account> is <.me> then "Stop evaluating rules".
Move this rule to the last in the list of rules.
In the Junk Mail preferences, be sure that "Filter junk mail before applying my rules" is unchecked.

How to turn off the authorization checks for a object in infoproviders?

Hi - how can I turn off the authorization check for an object (ex: 0orgunit) in infoproviders?
I have 0orgunit as an authorization-relevant object and is used in one of the cubes. When reports are run for this cube, this is causing authorization issues. The object is present in other cubes also but I have to remove or turn off the authorization check of this cube alone. How to do this? Please help.
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi Raj,
Srinivas, is right , however in BI7 the correct transaction is RSECADMIN and not RSADMIN.
In BW3.5, use RSSM transaction to do thins.
OR
Go to transaction RSECAUTH ---> Choose the authorization object that has been created for org unit(and has been assigned to the user). Go to change mode. Remove the cube from the dimension 0TCAIPROV
If you are using old authorization concept in 3.5 or in 7.0
Go to RSSM. In the checks for infoprovider, enter your infoprovider name. Choose change.Here you will see a checkbox to switch off the authorization.
Hope this helps you,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

I am no longer able to turn off cellular data usage for individual apps. When I turn most of them off, they just automatically reset themselves to allow data usage. Any thoughts?

I am definately having the same problem and cannot believe there are no answers or even support that this problem exists. I never have to post on forumns, I read what is usually readilly availiable for the craziest of problems.
Anyways, the problem is just that, I can toggle off a individual app's setting of cellular data availability, but it changes right back on rescreening. After restarting, resetting etc, it seems that the big Apple Apps are the biggest offenders. Music is a very important one, Podcasts can kill you very quickly, app store, Photos, Facetime, Stocks?!?!?!
When one searches for solutions I have to see hundreds of links to "How great is ios7, you can turn off cellular data for individual apps FOR DUMMIES!". I am a dedicated apple fool since the Apple IIe (long time), but when they run afowl it is usually really bad. Why offer an on/off switch if the setting is always on?
I am writing just to add support to the existence of this problem, not so much for people to offer ideas of solutions as I now believe it is in the coding.
Thank you

I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4S, with the latest version of iOS 8.1.1. Whenever I go to the "Cellular" settings on the main settings page and turn OFF cellular data usage for native apps like mail, app store, contacts, photos etc , the moment I back out and come back in, all the native apps I turned cellular off for are back on again. Kindly help me

Exact same question as ankit1986, specifically with the photos while on cellular-only, and as simple as it sounds, I tried the hard reboot Ingo2711 suggested. Still experiencing the same error with the native apps reverting to on. It's killing our shared data-plan (2GB).
