How can I turn off geo-locator? I have done the fix that I found but it doesn't work - what else can I do?
I have done this and turned it to false (hope that's right)
• In the URL bar, type about:config
• Type geo.enabled
• Double click on the geo.enabled preference
• Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled
But google is still putting me at a location unsuitable for my browsing requirements. I want to browse .co.uk not .fr. for business as well as personal. Please help it is very time consuming even when I type .co.uk google changes it back to .fr
Any help gratefully received. Thank you.
"Location-Aware Browsing" is only useful if you connect via a wireless access point.<br />
Otherwise a reverse DNS look up of your IP is used and that is usually not very accurate.<br />
Firefox will always ask for permission before using Geolocation.<br />

My imessage is not working at all is because when I send a message to my friend the bar of sending complete but it doesn't send what I can do please heeeeeelpppp !!!!!
2-3 days ago, iMessage just stopped working on all my devices (2 iPads; 1 iPhone; 1 Mac), and it hasn't come back since. iPhone waiting for activation, the rest just don't send the messages.
FaceTime and iCloud work fine.
I really hope this is resolved soon, because I rely heavily on iMessage for the majority of my communications, and I need it back ASAP as I'm on holiday and out of my home country. -
I use the Icalendar at home, at work, and on my Iphone. I don't want to have to "sign in" every time I need my calendar. How do I stay signed in? I have checked the "keep signed in" box, but it does not work.
Welcome to the Apple community.
Staying signed in at iCloud.com is not a problem for me. Try resetting your browser or emptying its cache. -

I am prompted every time i visit a site that i enter a password on to save it in firefox 18, it's now getting annoying. I have tried to turn it off, but the box in firefox settings is shaded and won't allow me to turn password manager off, i know i can choose "never for this site" in the settings but with just about every site you go to now requires you to sign in it is really getting on my nerves. if this can't be resolved i may reluctantly have to change browser.
Same problem, I want firefox password manager GONE.

How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
Thanks!cterra wrote:

Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button -
TS3988 How do I turn off iCloud and go back to the way I had it before?
I am unhappy with iCloud for a number of reasons. I want to go back to backing up my music to an external HD, storing music on my devices, and turn off iCloud.
How do I turn off iCloud? I have iTunes on a PC.
THANKSCurrent Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

My iphone was updating to IOS6 from IOS5, then I thought by turning off my iphone it will cancel the update. It did, but now it keeps turning on but not compleely only until the apple sign shows up then turns off. Help please!
You will have to try putting it in DFU mode and allowing it to update. Once it has begun, you can't stop it.

i cant connect to wifi but my laptop can and my other phones can.ived done all the recommendations in ipad support but still cant connect..what else shall i do?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Missing a plug-in for adope reader that I've already downloaded numerous times. What else can I try?
My computer keeps saying I'm missing a plug-in for adope reader that I've already downloaded numerous times. What else can I try?
For Flash, could you try downloading the "full" installers from this page:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
In the first table, there are two rows for Windows: one for the ActiveX control for IE, and one for the plugin for Firefox. You might want to grab both. And try the .msi files instead of the .exe files to see whether those work better.
Will either of those install?
It's odd that on a newly rebuilt system your More System Details shows that you have a user.js file, which is an optional settings files used to override your previous session settings. This is not part of the standard Firefox installation, so if you did not create that file yourself, you may want to investigate or delete it. This article has more information on that: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]. -
My ipad has stopped connecting to wifi, a reset hasn't worked, what else can I try? (the wifi is fine as other apple products connect ok)
Have you tried a 'hard reset'. You do not lose any of your data on the iPad.
Here are the steps:
Press the Power Buton and the Home button simultaneously.
Continue to hold down both buttons until the iPad shuts off
Release the buttons when the Apple Logo appears.
Also, make sure your iPad is not in airplane mode. Settings, Airplane mode is the first option under settings,
Hope this helps.
