Firefox keeps saving my tabs from several months ago - the same tabs! Even though I close them, the next time I restart, there they are. I was using a previous version of FF, now upgraded to 6 and same thing is happening.

Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

  • I have transferred Aperture 3 from an old Imac to a new. Now I´m requested to put in the serial number for v2, which I upgraded from several years ago. I can`t find it, but have the serial number for the upgrade. What to do?

  • Time Machine deleting backups from several months ago (but not the oldest)?

    During its "Cleanup" phase, Time Machine has recently been deleting backups from several months ago—even though these aren't the oldest backups, and my backup drive isn't full.
    My backups go back to January 2012, yet just today, Time Machine deleted backups from May 21, June 11, July 2, and July 23 (all in 2012). And plus, my Time Machine drive still has 200 GB free.
    Why's it doing this? Shouldn't it just either delete my backups from January 2012 first (if it needs the space), or just delete the expired backups in the past 24 hours or 30 days (based on its normal rules)?

    See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

  • HT1918 My Apple ID (email address) is somehow registered to the US store even though I live in the UK. Can I close the US account and open a UK one with the same ID/email?

    My Apple ID (email address) is somehow registered to the US store even though I live in the UK. Is there any way I can close the US account and open a UK one with the same ID/email?

    No, but you can change the country of your iTunes Store account. Sign into your iTunes Store account and click the "change country" link. You'll need a valid UK credit card to complete the change. If you have any credit balance remaining, you'll need to contact the iTunes Store to clear that for you before you'll be able to change the country.
    Note that if you purchased anything from the US iTunes Store, you probably will not be able to re-download it nor update apps once you change the country. So you may prefer to set up a new email address so you can create a new account in the UK iTunes Store. You can change the email address to which receipts and other notices are sent to your actual email address, if you prefer.
    Regards.

  • I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.   It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i  hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

    I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. 
    It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
    even though when i  hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
    This problem is irritating me....?

    To take panorama
    - ensure that the panorama option is on
    - press the shutter button once
    - you will see a line with an arrow
    - move around in a circle  ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
    - as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
    - at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
    I hope that this helps, do report back.

  • The only history shown is from several months ago, none from recent sessions, recent days, weeks or months

    The field on the left for history does not give any history at all, and if I use the pull-down menu under "History" and go to "Show All History",
    I only get history from 6 months ago, April and August. It seems that the rest of the files have disappeared.

    * Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the Browsing History.
    * Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
    * Make sure that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
    * To see History and Cookie settings in Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"
    You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.

  • Too many web sites that I go to do not work with your latest version. How can I use a previous version? Right now, I have to switch to IE because I do not upgrade it until I absolutely have to.

    I have to work with a lot of company web sites that are slow to adopt new browser features and expectations. The end result is that when Firefox updates my browser automatically, I frequently find myself broken, and in some cases, simply denied access, for having an "unsupported" browser or browser version. I would like to be able to open a previous version of Firefox, so that I can access that web site. But it appears that when you update, you remove/replace the previous version(s), and I am forced to use another browser.

    I am currently using HP Simple Pass version 6.0, and it had been working like a dream until Firefox recently upgraded to v. 30. Now it doesn't work at all :( The current software won't have anymore updates (last one in 2013), because the omnipresent Apple bought Aunthentec (the company that makes (made) Simple Pass) back in 2012. Dear Firefox, please update whatever you have to to make the 2 compatible again, or I won't be able to use Firefox anymore. :(

  • Does anybody know how to get a valid email address for Apple service?  I am unable to call them during business hours and paid them over $200 a month ago to have a repair done ot my iPhone.  I have heard nothing.  They are usually good, but this time....

    I have looked all over the Apple Store website but there is no obvious email address.   I have tried to post feedback and 'follow my repair online' but the are not responding.  Thanks anybody who can advise an email address.

    Sorry, but Apple does not provide technical support via email, so they have no published email addresses. You will need to find a way to call them. Or make an appointment with the Genius Bar at an Apple Store, if there are any near you, and have them follow up.
    Regards.

  • After a few downloads, using "Save image as..." causes Firefox to download the image again even though its already on the screen.

    You would think that having downloaded an image and displayed it on the screen, Firefox would be able to save the image to disk (using right-click, "Save image as...") without need of downloading it all over again. But that's exactly what it does after just a few image saves.
    This can be both expensive and time consuming when I happen to be working via a mobile or dial-up connection, which is often.
    Any ideas?

    As an addendum, the 10.6.8 OS has also been sluggish when I log in or out of my computer (my old PowerBook G4 boots faster after being off).  Otherwise, everything else seems normal.

  • TS4022 keeps trying to install every visit to icloud....even though I've installed it numerous times

    Every time I visit icloud.com I get asked to install the icloud web app plugin. I installed it about 10 times already. It never "sticks".

    Perhaps we might be able to get it to stick if we install while running IE as an Administrator.
    Quit IE first. Next, in your Start menu, click All programs. Right-click on Internet Explorer and select "Run as Administrator" as per the following screenshot:
    Visit icloud.com and try installing the plugin again.
    If it seems to go through okay, quit IE, and relaunch it normally. Visit icloud.com again. Are you still being asked to install the plugin?
