Re: How To Remove Zoom Macbook Pro
Floriana Monterroza
So I am working on a Mac with Magic mouse. When I am using the Adobe programs (Ai, Ps, Id, no matter, I think it is common for all of them), if I accidently hold the alt button and move my hand on the mouse, I zoom in/out. It is unintentional, and it is happening to me quite too often, so I need your help.
I want to disable it, but when I search the software shortcuts menu for zoom shortcuts, I don't find the alt+scroll command. So I don't know how to remove it and I don't want to deactivate the scroll on my OS from the system preferences.
Add an additional none 'Magic' mouse to your rig using a USB port (I use a wired Apple laser mouse circa 2007). Keep your wireless Magic Mouse for general OS use and web browsing (scroll effects operate), and when you go into CS pick up the other mouse - you will enjoy a scroll free experience without changing anything on your OS as this mouse cannot physically scroll. The two mice will not conflict with each other (the joys of Apple).
It may feel strange at first to have two mice on one Mac but try it - takes a second to reach for the other one and will become second nature quickly. You can get the older Mac mouse on eBay for about $20.
I don't have a perfect solution, but if you install BetterTouchTool you can use it to deactivate option + vertical scrolling only in Illustrator. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a feature to restrict opt + horizontal scrolling in specific apps, but I find (at least personally) that most of my accidental scrolls are vertical, anyway.
Click on this button once to create a new Zoom meeting. You will see the button show "Pending..." briefly while it connects to Zoom to setup the meeting. Upon success, BusyCal will embed the meeting link within the notes section of the event, and optionally add a link to the Location (if you have that enabled under Preferences > Accounts > Zoom).
Please note that in order to protect this link from being accidentally deleted or modified, we hide it from view. You can still access the link by clicking on the "Copy to Clipboard" button next to the "Join button", or click on the (i) button below the event's title to access the hidden embedded notes section, as shown below.
Currently there is no way to customize individual meeting settings. Meeting settings are obtained directly from your Zoom account, including the timezone for the meetings or your meeting password requirements. Zoom will automatically add a password to your meeting if that has been setup in your Zoom account; BusyCal will simply request Zoom to create a meeting with your preferred settings. Whatever preferences and defaults you may have set, BusyCal will use those when creating or updating the meeting.
Every time you make a change to an event with a Zoom meeting, BusyCal automatically refreshes the meeting with new dates, topic or agenda. You do not have to perform any manual steps separately. Having said that, BusyCal will not poll Zoom for updates. If you were to delete or modify the meeting manually using Zoom's website, these changes will not automatically reflect within BusyCal, unless you were to make a change to the event within BusyCal itself.
Zoom offers a limited number of options when it comes to setting up a recurring meeting. Any time you add a meeting to a recurring event within BusyCal, an attempt is made to create a Zoom meeting based on this pattern. However this is not always possible given the limitations. This is especially true for detached events. For this reason, any time you detach a repeating event (i.e. alter its date to effectively create an exception to the original recurring pattern), BusyCal leaves the meeting link within the notes untouched, but in addition allows you to optionally replace it with a new meeting (by clicking "Add Meeting.."). This of course makes sense, given the meeting date and time has now changed.
Zoom, however, will continue to remind you of the meeting on the "wrong date", since it does not register such exceptions. You will need to ignore reminders coming from the Zoom app for those dates for now unfortunately, as there is no way around this limitation.
You can remove Zoom from BusyCal, however this does not automatically deauthorize BusyCal from your account. If you'd like to deauthorize BusyCal from accessing your account entirely, please follow the second step described below.
When you click on "Create Meeting", it may take some time for the zoom meeting link to create, depending on other tasks BusyCal may be busy performing. At times it may be necessary for an ongoing sync to end before BusyCal is able to send a request to Zoom. Try clicking on Refresh Calendars from the View menu (CMD+R) to see if that helps.
This has been explained in the Add Zoom Meetings section above, that meeting links are hidden from notes for security reasons. These links however are always sent to the invitees and will always be visible to them. This is a BusyCal only feature, to prevent accidental removal / modifications etc.
You need to log into zoom.us, click on Settings and then ensure you have enabled Require passcode for scheduled meetings. BusyCal will generate a random password for the meeting, based on the minimum password requirements set on your account.
Zoom meetings can only later be removed from the same machine used to add the meeting. If the event in question already has a Join Zoom link visible near the event's title, but you see Add meeting button next to "zoom call:", this may suggest that the meeting was created on a different machine. This is not a bug and this does not affect the meeting in question. This simply means that the Zoom meeting related meta-data was saved on a different machine that cannot, due to technical limitations, sync over to your other machines.
You can remove your Zoom account from BusyCal at any time. Simply open Preferences > Accounts, select Zoom in the left panel and then click [-] to remove the account. Existing meetings and links within event notes will not be removed. This is so that you remain in control of managing your Zoom meetings once the account has been removed. In case you add your account back into BusyCal, you can resume managing it directly from within the app.
You can also disable Zoom temporarily to take it offline for whatever reason. Open Preferences > Accounts, select Zoom and uncheck "Enable this account". When you do this, you will no longer be able to manage your meetings from BusyCal, and any pending updates waiting to be sent to Zoom will be deferred indefinitely until the account is re-enabled.
Hi, I have a shared folder in my mac dropbox that is locked by the person who shared it with me. Some time ago I asked him to remove me from the shared list which he did however I am unable to delete the folder from my dropbox app on my mac.
The folder is not in my dropbox online or on my iPhone or iPad, only on my MacBook. The file won't sync; consequently, the dropbox app won't upgrade or update. It is always trying to sync this locked folder. I've tried following the instructions on deleting a shared folder by holding the option key down while deleting from the finder but the option to delete is greyed out. Any help is greatly appreciated. If I can't get this resolved I'm ready to dump dropbox and move to another provider.

I removed myself from the shared folder a while ago and it does not show up in my browser version. However my desktop app shows it (the 2023_ folder in the screenshot). I have this "can't sync Dropbox account" pop-up that will not go away no matter how many times i restart my computer. its been on my screen for 2 weeks and gets in the way of working/zoom meetings/etc. You'll see in the screenshot that the icon at the top of the screen forever shows its updating and I can't click on anything. Lastly, I can't uninstall or update the app because it is open and will not close. Thanks for the help!
Hi Nancy, the folder was shared with me which may or may not have been removed by the owner from my dropbox account that I am not aware. The owner passed away during the pandemic and the company is no longer in business. It was a folder for a business deal we did. It is only showing on my desktop, not on the web or phone app. There are no files in the folder and I have read only permissions. When I go to 'get info' it shows 'fetching' for the name for 'read & write' permissions. Folder was created in 2016 and hasn't been modified since October 2019. It's always trying to sync although it doesn't interfere with my other files sinking. However, I would just prefer to have this folder gone altogether. Can you help?
