Always prompted for action even though "Do this automatically" is checked.

Hi,
I have actions set to open PDF files in Adobe Acrobat 9.4; all things Adobe or PDF in the Options->Applications are set to "Adobe Acrobat 9.4 (default)".
Whenever I click on a PDF link in a page I *still* get the popup window asking me "What should Firefox do with this file". This dialog box has "Adobe Acrobat 9.4 (default)" selected for "Open with" and the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" is checked. (FWIW I have also used the Adobe Acrobat 9.4 that doesn't have the "(default)" after it too.).
I can't seem to figure out how to make it open my PDFs in Acrobat without ALWAYS prompting me with the dialog box. Is there any way to have it just open Acrobat and the document without this additional prompting? It did this in the 3.whatever version I had and now too in the 4.0.1 version.

Setting an automatic action only works for a specific MIME type and not for a file extension.

When I start Firefox 6.0, it always looks for updates, even though I have this feature turned off in Options. How do I change this?

This isn't a big issue, just annoying.

Prompted for authorization even though it's already authorized

I just bought a new song in iTunes. Whenever I try to play it, I'm prompted to authorize my computer. When I authorize it, it tells me that my computer is already authorized. It does it again every time I try to play the song. It only happens for this song. Help?

If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (check this with iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Hi
I would trash - iMovie pref file - and re-try - sounds like this got faulty.
• Delete iMovie pref. file. iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD) / Users / "Your account" / Library / Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
chflags nohidden ~/Library (exactly like this - space included)
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )

Windows XP Machines Always Prompt for Credentials (Exchange 2013, Outlook 2010)

I am running Exchange 2013 on Server 2012 Datacenter (VM). Windows 7 clients with Outlook 2010 work fine. Windows XP clients with Outlook 2010 prompt for credentials (user name and password) each time Outlook is started, and checking the "Remember
my password" box does not prevent this from happening the next time. The "Always prompt for logon credentials" checkbox on the "Security" tab of the "More Settings" section of the Exchange account is not checked. I have found a myriad of posts
with similar issues, but they all seem to have to do with SBS/Exchange 2007, and I haven't come across something that works as a solution for me. One suggested certificate issues, and I was having certificate security warnings, but I got that resolved.
I am hopefuly that the fact that this only happens on Windows XP will be telling.

Hi letjimdoit,
If you are unable to get to the screen that allows you to enter your password on your Apple TV, you may want to first try restarting the Apple TV. Use the steps in this aricle -
Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
If the same issue continues after restart, you may want to restore the Apple TV. See this article -
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Always prompted for password on iPhone

My router has encryption enabled.
I am always prompted for a password on my iPhone to enable wi-fi.
I do not not get prompted on my desktop Mac.
Is this normal or is there a setting on the iPhone with which I do not have to re-enter a password every time I unlock it.
TIA

Set up a trusted / integrated connection on the database(?).

Always prompted for "802.1X Authentication" user name and password

Hi,
Just had the logic board replaced in my Macbook Pro, but that's an different story...
The most recent side effect of this is that I am always prompted for my password/user name when I connect to the wireless network at work.
Obviously, I enter the name and password. However, I didn't used to have to do this. In other words, it's not being saved.
Any suggestions on what I can do so it's saved again?
The Network preference panel reports:
Authenticated via PEAP (Inner Protocol:GTC)
The 802.1X pane shows I have 1 'User Profiles':
WPA:<network>
Which has:
my name
a password
Authentications enabled:
PEAP
TTLS
EAP-FAST

Hi,
it might have something to do with your logic board exchange. Your MAC address (Media Access Control, Ethernet-ID, AirPort-ID, Hardware Address or what you want to call it) has changed. Every network interface has a distinct address which looks like that: 01:23:45:ab:cd:ef
I would ask your company's admin first if it has something to with you having a new MAC address.
Alternatively you could try to remove the wlan from Sys Prefs/Network/AirPort/Options/Preferred Networks. Also remove any saved passwords of this network from your keychain and then try adding it again with the remember-checkbox on.

iTunes will ask you to enter your password when buying songs for each browsing "session". This wouldn't explain why you are being asked to enter it every 3 minutes though.
I would suggest logging out of your Apple ID on iTunes and logging back in. Also, you may verify that your computer is "Authorized" for use with your iTunes content.
To do this on a Mac, go to the "Store" tab at the top of the screen and click "Authorize this Computer"

Apple just charged my card for 90$ even though I redeemed a 100$ gift card, is there anyway to get a refund.

What were you buying ? If you were gifting content or an amount then that will be taken from your credit card, an account's balance can't be used for gifting. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Support and see what they say : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Rectangular marquee does not snap to grid even though snap to grid is checked under view

Hey all,
I cannot snap to a grid even though snap to grid is checked under view > snap to > grid. Unless I am zoomed in all the way, when I drag marquee, it always snaps two pixels above or two pixels below where I'm trying to snap to grid, which is the green line I created. I don't know if this is a Photoshop bug but it's clearly not snapping to the grid for me unless I am zoomed in all the way, but then at that point, I have to drag it across the whole document and because I'm zoomed in so far, it takes several minutes.Any reason why snap to grid not working in PhotoShop CS4?
Thanks for response.

it always snaps two pixels above or two pixels below where I'm trying to snap to grid, which is the green line I created.
Green lines for the Grid? Did you change the color in the Preferences specifically?
And your use of the singular »line« is a bit suspicious – are you sure you are talking about the Grid and not Guides?

Even though the custom greeting is checked , when the phone is called it uses default. Is there a fix?

When my iphone is called and I don't answer the default greeting is used even though I've recorded and checked custom greeting. Any ideas?

It is not that you cannot, there could be an issue with the carrier and a problem with your voicemail settings. If the carrier supports it, it should work, just have them check it.

Always prompted for action even though "Do this automatically" is checked.
