I'm unable to clear my search history after many attempts with the firefox instructions as I'm unable to check the "Form and Search History" box for some reason

I've tried several times to clear my search history without any success. I've been able to do so in the past, but this is the first time I've tried in a while and for some reason it will not let me check the box for "Form and Search History." Then sometimes it will let me check that box, but when I click "ok" to apply the clearing of the search history, nothing happens and it still remembers all my sites. At that point I try to clear it again and its back to not letting me check the "Form and Search history" box (I've gone through this cycle a few times). I tried looking through some of suggested articles that Firefox sent me too, but I don't know much about computers and just doing the things they seem talking about isn't working either. Please help, thanks!

It seems to have worked itself out. Thanks anyway!

Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

Hi John
iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb. This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well. This might be the common thread.

Deleting Forms and Search History is Dictating my freedom

Is this a trick? I used to be able to freely delete my forms and search history. Now the checkbox on the delete everything dialog box is disabled, and unchecked! When I ask to delete everything, I mean everything, please. I should be able to make the decision myself, not have it made for me by Google, the government, or some script kiddie. Please give our freedom back, and make the delete forms and search history accessible.
Furthermore, please, please, delete everything and shred it, if that is what the user wants (Unlike Microsoft with Pending Deletes, and Google with its Autocratic Internet takeover policies. And what is with all the google and chrome junk in the about:config anyway?)
I used to love Firefox because it seemed like a Freedom Fighter, but now I have deleted it from all Windows systems and all but one Linux system, because it seems like it is selling out. On the sales pitch page, Firefox purports to be working for greater Internet freedom, but the closer you look, it seems two-faced.
I will watch the status of Firefox on that one system, and if it improves, I might allow it back on the other systems. Otherwise, I might just fork it like IceWeasel or even find something else, eventually.

No it's not a trick. You should be able to check-mark Form and Search History in Clear Recent History. Any chance that "Remember search and form" history is not selected in the Privacy tab of Options?
I have also seen reports from some users that their security suite on Windows PC "took over" many of the Clear Recent History items and locked out users from changing the status of any item in Clear Recent History, but I can't see something occurring with Linux versions of Firefox.

When trying to clear the history (Browsing and download history, cookies, form and search history, and cache) firefox freezes and sometimes Ill get a warning for an unresponsive script.

When trying to clear the history (Browsing and download history, cookies, form and search history, and cache) firefox freezes and sometimes Ill get a warning for an unresponsive script.
Using MacOSX 10.6.8 on Macbook Pro
Using Firefox 10.0.2

Try to exclude the cookies from the clear history settings and let the cookies expire at the end of the session instead.

Form and search history is disabled- can you tell me why this is and give me some simple steps to fixing it?I've tried reading forums and support to no avail :(

For some reason, when I try and click on form and search history under the clear history tab it's greyed out (all of the other options for clearing history are available)
I don't seem to be able to find any answers to WHY this is (which I would like to know) and also I've tried to follow instructions (factory reset firefox, restart computer etc) but for some reason it doesn't make any difference and I really don't know what to do. I'm not particularly tech savvy so any help would be really really appreciated

This happens if there is no form history to clear (you probably already cleared it).
Is saving form history enabled?
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history"

Firefox won't save new form data if you are in Private Browsing mode.

For some reason the Apple ID window in iTunes and App Store now seems to have a character number constraint. As a result I am unable to enter the final few characters of my Apple ID which I have had for many years. Does anyone know what has caused this?

For some reason the Apple ID window in iTunes and App Store now seems to suddenly have a character number constraint which prevents me using my 29 character Apple ID. As a result I am unable to enter the final few characters of my Apple ID which I have had for many years. Does anyone know what has caused this?

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

My iphone 4 went into recovery mode for some reason and it is unable to be restored. any ideas how to fix this?

my iphone went into recovery mode for some reason and is unable to be restored. it wont turn on and when plugged into a charger it shows a usb and itunes symbol. so i plugged it into my mac and connected to itunes then itunes said it has detected a phone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. so it goes through the restoration process for a couple minutes or so then stops and says itunes is unable to restore because an unknown error occurred (2001) or (2006) and other times i try it says its unable to restore because itunes cant detect the device... any ideas how to fix this?

Errors 2000-2009 (from Apple support): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
2001: Use up to date software. Make sure your device is in DFU Mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
2006: Use a different USB cable. Possibly the one that came with your iPhone.

Today for some reason my Ipad won't tether properly. The iphone says it's connected and on the Ipad next to Wi-Fi in settings shows I'm connected but at the top left of the screen there is no connection icon and I cannot load and display web pages. My Ipad is about three weeks old and I have never had this problem before. I have rebooted but this did not solve my problem.
Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

This is actually in response to varjak paw's reply to my question, but I am unable to directly reply for some reason hence the separate post, but so it's open to anyone to answer

This is actually in response to varjak paw's reply to my question (thank you!), but I am unable to directly reply for some reason hence the separate post, but so it's open to anyone to answer. Anyway, my original question was
Hello, I am from a Korean institution. We are looking into enrolling in iTunes U, but are aware that our country, South Korea, is yet enrolled in the iTunes U. Can our institution still enroll and if so, what is the procedure? Or do we have to wait for our country to be enrolled in iTunes U first? We're surprised South Korea isn't listed yet among the 26 countries so far, considering how it's one of the more developed countries and also highly advanced in the technology field. Thank you!
Varjak paw's answer:
Sorry, but iTunes U is not available to institutions in South Korea at this time. It is only available to institutions in those countries on the list. Why Apple has not yet been able to provide that service in your country or when (or indeed if) they ever will is something none of us here can say.
Regards.
My follow-up question:
So then, is if there's a general standard procedure country governments have to follow in order to have the iTunes U service provided (ex. a site/online application on Apple). So in other words, if the Korean government were interested in enrolling in iTunes U, what would they have to do/what channel(s) would they have to go through? We are a government-affiliated institution so if we're provided the necessary steps, we may be able to forward the procedure along to the right government body that would be responsible for setting this up.
Any information would be appreciated, thank you!

As I said in your original post, iTunes U is not available to any institution, government or otherwise, in South Korea. If or when Apple will extend iTunes U to your country is something none of us here can say, and Apple will not until such time as they're ready to make an announcement. What Apple's criteria and requirements are for being able to open iTunes U in a given country is unknown; there is no "procedure" that any of us here can state or direct you to that you could initiate. It's totally up to Apple, and if they are working on this, I'm sure they know who in the SK government they would need to work with.
Sorry, but you will just have to wait and hope that something develops in the future.
Regards.

Time Machine Locked after MacBook Air reformatted. My MacBook Air was overfull due to an Address book issue (duplication) so after many attempts to clear space, I ended up wiping out the system and reloading Lion.

Time Machine Locked after MacBook Air reformatted. My MacBook Air was overfull due to an Address book issue (duplication) so after many attempts to clear space, I ended up wiping out the system and reloading Lion. This resulted in the Time Machine thinking that it was now connected to a different computer. Apparently this diables the existing information.
Now I can see that the back-ups exist (back to Sept 2012) but they are greyed out, therefore unavailale to restore. Again, this seems like an issue that shouldn't be happening. The whole point of the Time Machine is to enable reinstatement of data after catastrophic failure. What if my computer actually had to be replaced due to a hardware issue? How would I beableto restore anything?
The path already (unsuccessfully) taken;
Open Library on the computer, Open Time Machine, Select Correct date, drill down to correct data you wish to restore, click "Restore".
This did not work because the correct date was greyed out. Restore key was greyed out.

I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
1. Don't apply the update.
2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.

For some reason I am unable to access my purchased itunes music from my icloud or from my computer. I suddenly get this message: say that I the original location for the song cannot be found.

For some reason I am unable to access my purchased itunes music from the purchased folder in the itunes store or in my icloud. The descriptions of the songs I purchased are there, but when I attempt to play them it says that the original location of the song cannot be located. This is so frustranting. How do I get my songs back??

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
