Clear cache to see changes?

Hi,
I'm finding that when I re-publish my blog, I have to clear Firefox's cache in order to actually see the changes.
I'm getting quite a few visitors so far and I'm guessing that some of them are returning readers. What if they can't see the changes as they return?
Is this something that I can avoid?

No, you can't avoid this. It seems to me to mainly be an issue with the computer your editing on. When I open my site from a different computer after making changes it seems to be fine ( even when that computer has the site cached) It may happen sometimes, but there is nothing that I know of that you can do about it.

Need to clear cache to see dynamic changes?

I have a Flash site/movie that loads several JPG's via
button.
I'm using loadMovie.
Client is saying that he has to clear his cache to see
chaqnges when replacing or updating these images.
Same is happening on some dynamivc text files.
I should know this by now but....
Why and can I avoid this?
Thanks in adavance. Client is asking.

The theory behind cacheing is actually a good thing. After
all, why
waste network traffic if the user already has the file,
right? The trouble
is, browsers don't always seem able to know when a file is
new. It may be
due to the slight differences in your clock and your client's
clock,
especially if you're uploading and checking these in a very
quick
turnaround.
The solution is to "trick" your browser into thinking it's
requesting a
new file. One way to do this is to append a query string to
the end of your
requests for external files.
In the loadMovie() parameter that specifies the URL, do
something like
this ...
"blah/blah/sample.jpg?ver=001"
... which essentially appends a fake variable, ver (for
version), to your
request. When you make a change, update that 001 to a 002,
and so on.
Pretty slick. I would also do this in the HTML that actually
embeds the
SWF.
"blah/blah/sample.swf?ver=001"
... in both the object and embed tags.
If you really want to get fancy, use the Math.random()
method to
generate a new number every time. In your ActionScript ...
"blah/blah/sample.jpg?ver=" + Math.random()
... but remember, that means your client will re-download
this file *every
time*. That may be what you want during testing, but it's
almost certainly
not what you want when the project is complete -- so don't
forget to remove
this trick later.

WebRFC - clearing cache after making changes in SAP

I'm finding that as I make changes to my Functional Modules in SAP, and then try to test them from Personas, I can not pick up the new version until I log right out of NWBC and the log back in again .... there has to be a faster way .... right?
Any tips much appreciated.
Regards.

No, you don't need to clear the cache. You only have to reconfigure your domain through the psadmin menu.

LOVE Firefox! I have just launched a website. One designer told me it takes 7-10 days for any changes to appear. Why? I have cleared caches and cookies etc. I need to be more responsive than 7-1o days. I need changes to appear within 24hrs.

Hello binbingogoABC,
Shopping on BestBuy.com should be easy and fun and not fraught with the kind of trouble that you describe. I regret very much that this has been your experience.
Using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed I was able to locate your cancelled orders. I have requested more information from my back-office partners. As soon as I have additional details about your situation, I will reply again to this message. In the interim, I'm sorry that I must impose upon your patience.
I'm very grateful that you wrote to us with your concerns.
Sincerely,

I have a new website but can't see it on my computer after clearing caches!

The problem is only on my mac others in the company see the new site. The problem is on on all 3 browsers safari, chrome and firefox. I have cleared caches, gone through to clear the cache.db in the library. Im getting desporate now, please help!

Hi Carolyn, thanks for your reply. The problem is fixed. I don't know how but cahes other than the ones i can see/control have been updated. My collegues could see the new site immediatley but my computer took 2 days to catch up! Appreciate your reply. Have a good day.

Applications disabled after clearing caches, etc.

My computer had begun to run slowly, so I followed advice in these pages and installed and ran an application called Cocktail: I ran the daily, weekly and monthly service operations and cleared caches and logs. Now my computer runs much better, but two applications that I have had for some time no longer work. One is an RSS news reader called PluckyX, the other is CarbonErrors. In each case the application's icon has changed.
In the case of PluckyX, it now tries to open using Script Editor, resulting in error messages, and I cannot find any other application to open it with. PluckyX is no longer made and its creator cannot be contacted, but I downloaded another copy from VersionTracker, with the same negative result. I have not yet tried to find a new copy of CarbonErrors.
Can anyone please suggest a solution? It is PluckyX in particular that I should like to revive.

If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.0.4 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard widgets etc also rely.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.0.4.
In your case PluckyX and Finale are the suspects.
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, as well as the latest Java update.

Clear Cache

Hi!
I need help, i need clear the cache from my application
It´s possible? how?
Thanks!

These hints from Amy Blankenship may be relevant:
The browser has cached the response it got from the first call you made to the page. This means that you need to either change how you are calling the page so it appears to be a new request, or you need to change the page itself so that it won't be cached.
To change how you are calling the page, append a unique value to the end of the
URL. For example:
new URLRequest('yourPage.asp?param="+(new Date()).getTime).
If you want to change the page itself, you need to change the response headers. The method for changing the response headers will vary from language to language. For more on this see:

Youtube videos gone blurry since clearing cache/deleting history on my ipad2?

Earlier on one of my YouTube videos froze and couldn't get it to move at all, so decided to clear cache and delete history. This worked in that my videos started playing again fine. Trouble is, since this happened, all the videos are playing blurry unless i manually change resolution on screen. I have gone several years never having to manually change each video to watch for best picture and want it back as it was before. Any suggestions please? By the way, I use YouTube itself on safari, not as an app (do not like how it looks on the app). Also would there be a way to make 360p a default on safari without an account?

Do the videos start to play and quit? Do they not start at all?
Close all apps and restart the iPad and then try YouTube or Netflix again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also try resetting/rebooting the iPad and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Even if your the internet is OK with other applications doesn't mean that there isn't an issue with the way that the iPad is connecting to NetFlix and YouTube. You can always try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

How can I deploy the setting of clear cache on exit for all users?

How can I deploy the setting of clear cache on exit for all users?

Note that Firefox disables the disk cache if you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the cache (see about:cache), so you can either disable the disk cache via its related pref or set the prefs related to clearing this data,but then other items that have a check-mark by default are cleared as well.
*browser.cache.disk.enable
*privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache
*privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Some music files do not show up in google play music app library. I did clear cache/data and restarted phone. The music is stored on the SD card. Most of the music in the library is in the same folder on the sd card. I can play the song from file mana

some music files do not show up in google play music app library. I did clear cache/data and restarted phone. The music is stored on the SD card. Most of the music in the library is in the same folder on the sd card. I can play the song from file manager, but it still is not in the music library in play music.

Cyndi6858, help is here! We'd be happy to help figure this out. Just to be sure though, the Droid Maxx should not have an SD card. Is this the Droid Razr Maxx? How did you add the music to the device? Are you able to see the files and folders located on the SD card or device when plugged in?

OBIEE 11g: how to automate browser clearing cache

Hi,
We upgraded OBIEE 10g to 11g the implementation includes EBS SSO ( which works in 10g).
the SSO functions OK meaning when we login from ERP Bussiness selection responsibilities to the OBIEE dashboard page we can access it and the login succeed.
The thing is that when we change the responsibility to another responsibility the Application role of the user does not updated and the old role ( the user get again the first role that was assigned in the first login ) meaning the role was not changed with the new responsibility.
I think that browser cache find OBIEE session and connect to the session without call /* valueof(NQ_SESSION.ACF) */ APP_SESSION.validate_icx_session('valueof(NQ_SESSION.ICX_SESSION_COOKIE)')
So, to automate browser clearing cache ?
Thank you

Thank you Veeresh,
I think this situation is due to a feature of Weblogic
"+The browser caches user credentials and frequently re-sends them to the server automatically. This can give the appearance that WebLogic Server sessions are not being destroyed after logout or timeout. Depending on the browser, the credentials can be cached just for the current browser session, or across browser sessions.+"
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e13711/thin_client.htm#i1033402].
I understand the advantage that helps to not make the login process more unnecessary. But I have to disable the feature, otherwise the end-user will not be able to change permission on BI /ERP responsibility and will have totally close the browser. The question is how to disable it (Weblogic feature) ?
Thank you,
Ark

Using Firefox 7.0.1 & am trying to clear cache, because Firefox crashes during online college courses (Firefox 3.0 or higher is a supported school browser), and I keep getting an error message about 'Quick Time.' Using pc - Windows 7 Home 64 bit.

As soon as I open up Firefox - it crashes on me. It takes me at least two or three attempts. I downloaded Firefox from the Firefox website and also use it for Facebook. I am wondering if it is because I also alternate between using IE as well? While attempting to open my school e-text, a message popped up that if experiencing problems opening my e-text - then I should clear cache and cookies which I cannot do - because of the "Quick Time error message."

As you can see below, when I right click, I have no such option. In the User Account Settings, I'm operating as the "System Administrator".
Any other suggestions?

My Safari keeps crashing even after clearing cache/history/etc. Help?

I have tried resetting, clearing cache, and erasing the history. I'm not sure what is going on with my Safari. I did notice I kept getting those "Mackeeper" popups, but I never downloaded it or anything. Could this be the issue? I have looked through other threads and couldn't find a solution to the problem. Thanks!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Back button no longer works in some specific situations; also, it appears that clearing cache isn't working.

The "back" button no longer works in certain specific situations on certain specific websites -- especially on the very website on which I need to use it very frequently. This has been going on for a couple of weeks.
Also, I noticed today that the "clear cache now" command doesn't seem to be working. Formerly, when I cleared the cache, I had to re-login to those websites that normally "remember" my login (because clearing the cache erased that "memory") -- but today, after using the "clear cache now" command, those websites still "remember" my login, which leads me to believe the cache didn't get cleared. Is there any other way to check whether it got cleared?
I was attempting to clear the cache in the faint hope that this might help the above "back" button problem, as no one has yet given me a solution for this that has worked. One person suggested having Firefox re-create the possibly damaged "places.sqlite" and "places.sqlite-journal" files. I tried this, but there was no change to the problem.
I think this problem started around the time I had a few Firefox crashes while using YouTube and doing something else on the computer at the same time.
I just today learned about the "crash signature" -- how to look it up, and to include it in a forum question. However, the crash log did not show these recent crashes, only some others from a few months ago. So, I'm unable to show the crash signature for this.
I'm guessing there's a chance that upgrading to a newer version of Firefox might fix this problem -- but I hesitate to do that, because it occurs to me that it also may be possible that changing the program before fixing this might make it harder to fix. I don't have enough knowledge of this software to know which is more likely, and I don't like to try things at random, in ignorance of the possible results. Also, after reading today several other forum comments from people who are unhappy with their Firefox upgrades, I hesitate to upgrade for that reason, also.
