Anyone know how to lock preferences?
Hello All.
I set my cookies to "always" block cookies, except for here, and a very few other sites.
Yet, constantly, the setting gets changed to "from third parties and advertisers"- AND in all cases, hundreds of cookies come through anyway.
Then on the flash player pref's I set it to deny the ability of creepy people being able to turn on my camera and mocrophones, and THAT gets switched back to allow it!
WHO ARE THE CRIMINALS DOING THAT< and how can I make it hold the settings I choose, PLEASE?
Thanks to all. C
If preferences are not saved, delete the plist file for that application.
The plist files are in your user Library/Preferences folder (not the main Library you can see in Macintosh HD).
To get there, hold down the option key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder.
plist files are usually named com.company.program.plist.
Safari's would be com.apple.safari.plist.
I don't know what Flash Player's is named.
When you delete them, you will have to reset all of your personal preferences in the application.
I vaguely remember people having trouble with Safari's cookie settings. However, I didn't care so didn't bother investigating. You might google for more info on that or search this site.

Does anyone know how to lock a specific application, such as e-mail in Ipad?
I have my company email in my Ipad and I want to lock it in order to prevent whoever uses my Ipad to login to my email. Does anyone know how to lock a specific application or it cannot be locked?
There is a somewhat clunky way to do it. First, go into your mail (Settings - Mail/Contacts/Calendars) and turn off (dont' disable) any accounts you don't want to be seen. Then go into Restrictions - Accounts and select "Don't Allow Changes." This will prevent anyone from turning the mail back on. When you're ready to turn it back on, go into Restrictions and either Disable Restrictions or go into Accounts and select Allow Changes.

Request for feature or does anyone know how to lock a playlist
I have a touchscreen which causes problems when selecting a playlist as it sometimes drops the list on playlist above or below thus duplicating the tracks into that playlist...nice feature but tedious if you do not want it to happen, let the kids at it for five minutes and bye bye nice playlists.
Whilst this feature is useful when wanted, when not (99% of the time in my case) it is aggravating as I have to tidy up the playlists frequently to put them back.
Either to be able to lock the playlists or have a setting to control that behaviour would be nice.
The only way I have figured round it is to put the tracks on a remote machine and share them as you can not mess with those playlists, now if only I had another machine to do that with...

I'm having problems upgrading from 10.6.8 to Yosemite. My computer locks up after the download and installation process. Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem?
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter? -
My iPad is locked up and has a apple and a bar under it on the screen and it will not turn on or off. Anyone know how to solve this problem?
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. When the red slider appears, release the Sleep/Wake button.
Instead of dragging the red slider, press and hold the Home button for six seconds.

my ipod 4g was working fine until i locked the screen but when i tried to turn it back on the screen stays black and its been 3 days. Does anyone know how i could fix this?
- Charge the iPod for half an hour. Then reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
- If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mod see:

When opening the Coloursync utility and pressing the verify button, I received an error message (copy below) stating that the Tag 'cprt':Text tag has an incorrect length which could not be fixed as the file is locked. Does anyone know how to rectify this?
Checking 25 profiles...
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/iMac-00000610-0000-9C6C-0000-000004271B00.i cc
Tag 'cprt': Text tag has an incorrect length.
The file is locked. Could not be fixed.Hi guys,
I followed the steps to unlock the .icc file in the "getinfo" screen then went on clicking repair in colorsync utility.
This is the message i got:
Searching for profiles...
Checking 17 profiles...
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/Color LCD-00000610-0000-9CF3-0000-000004273CC0.icc
Tag 'cprt': Text tag has an incorrect length. Fixed.
Repair done - 1 profiles fixed.
However, when i hit verify again it shows up like this:

Verify done - found 1 bad profile.
... and it keeps like this sine die.
when i open the .icc file it shows up like this:
3 'cprt' 'text' 35 Copyright ASCII Text String
New to mac so I really don't know what to do.
I didn't get this message so far. What i did before getting this message was to open a jpeg file. I wanted to edit it so when i did right click on the file i went to open with, and colorsync came as an option; so i chose it.
Then this message started comming up.
Is there anything i can do?
Thabks for the support. -

what exactly are you trying to accomplish here? i understand that you don't want to see the music status come up on your lock screen, but what are you trying to do by clicking your home button at all?
