You can turn it off, in iOS5 as well on Mac and PC. Always Systemsettings/ControlPanel -> iCloud. There are your options. From within iOS5 you can also delete the complete account.

How can I revert to the prior version 9pre-3.6.13 update of firefox, as the new oone is causing more trouble than it's worth?

The 3,6,13 update has disabled real player and occasionally locks up my mouse while in firefox. I don't see the advantages of the update if it's causing this much trouble with other software.

Changing versions often does not cure problems, but it does increase risks.

The search options will not be changed by downgrading, but there is a method of changing that without downgrading.

The first step in troubleshooting that may be to identify the tab or page involved, then try Firefox with only the newtab page and the problem page open.
IIRC Firefox is intended to continue streaming audio even if a tab does not have focus. That enables users to stream audio in the background whilst browsing. What you hear may be intended behaviour.

Flash Becoming More Trouble Than It Is Worth

I play a lot of Flash games, including Evony. There are many people who have noticed problems with these games since the latest Flash update. So, please do not give us your standard "this must be a user error because we are perfect" answer.
Since this latest Flash player update, we've seen the following:
Sometimes the GUI is half blanked out
Buttons which used to take one click now require several clicks before they work
The chat window pops back to the top every time someone enters new text
Scrolling around sometimes takes forever or freezes up
Lagging has increased exponentially
Are we all tired of Flash becoming more and more unusable? YES
As a former Flash Developer, I understand how easily Flash programs break and/or become obsolete with subsequent updates. I have become increasingly more frustrated and disillusioned by Flash and it's relevancy to the internet. As a Mac and PC user, I find it disgusting that I can no longer use my G4 to access the internet appropriately since Flash is so prominent and does not work properly on "older" Apple computers.
Please, please get it together Adobe before we all start moving on to something else. You are rapidly losing your fan base. Especially all the artists and developers that helped you popularize Flash usage on their APPLE machines.

Hi, Have you tried turning off the hardware acceleration feature? Right click on any video and click on Settings, then Display Settings and Uncheck it.
It has also been recommended to update the graphic and video drivers to the latest versions. Sometimes just turning off the H.A. takes care of the issue.

Flash 8: More trouble than it's worth

I'm an animator, so I do not use flash for it's more
complicated tasks such as action scripting. However, I have had so
many issues with just drawing, and animation, that I'm about to go
back to flash mx. I cannot remember all of them but here is a small
list off of the top of my head:
- Images exported now come out the size of your finger nail,
instead of actual pixle size
- ctrl + z is now done in such a way that after a few hours
of drawing and pressing ctrl + z, a computers resources are almost
completely leeched, and flash will crash if you attempt to do it
any more. I've gotten to the point where I was waiting about 5
seconds for a ctrl + z to work, and I've got 4 gb of ram.
- When using a wacom tablet, you can flip it for the eraser.
Well don't even bother, because the eraser stays the same size as
the pen you were just using, so it's about the size of a pin head,
and completely useless.
- When pasting in many frames (going from frame to frame
pasting things), certain pen strokes become untouchable. You cannot
erase them, or changes them. To fix this you have to click the pen
mark, then the backround then switch to the tool you want again.
This has to be done for every frame and can become very annoying as
any animator will know.
- Flash 8 claims to be able to export files so that flash mx
can use them. Nope. The files are corrupted when opened with flash
mx.
- When drawing with the pen tool, you occasionally get an
exploded line. It just shoots off in some direction. This happens
mostly when holding shift and using the pen.
- simple action scripts such as button command "onDrag" are
next to impossible to find without the index tool, and even then I
get errors in action script. I'm not an expert programmer and flash
mx was easy enough for me.
- My biggest complaint is the color mixer. It has been
reduced to about 1/4 the size and I have to smash my face up
against the screen to fine pick a color. All to make room for the
now over-sized box that shows you the color you have picked. An
alternative to this is to click on the paint bucket and then the
color wheel, which isn't too hard... but as I explained, after
doing it a thousand times, I'm sick of it.
- A tiny, yet incredibly annoying, glitch for flash 8 is also
in the color mixer. It involves trying to pick a color and having
it immidiately snap back to black, or white, or whatever color you
had previously. The color is indeed chosen anew, but if you want to
choose a color and then lower opacity, I'm afraid flash 8 just
doesn't allow it.
There a few more things I have forgotten, but I'm sure I've
said enough.
~Thanks for reading.

jjjooee,
Not sure what you hope to gain from your post, except maybe
to blow off
stream (which is fine, I guess). But in case a reply would be
helpful, here
goes ...
> - Images exported now come out the size of your
> finger nail, instead of actual pixle size
When I export images from Flash 8, I have to option to
specify
resolution, depending on the format (PNG, for example).
Images certainly do
export at actual pixel size, though. Not sure what's going on
in your case.

I don't experience this at all.

Sounds like an unusual case. I have 2GB of RAM (even less on
my laptop)
and simply haven't seen this issue.

This one, I've heard about from someone else's post. I have
a Wacom
tablet but haven't tested this particular feature. This one
... you may
have a point.
> - When pasting in many frames (going from frame to

Haven't experienced this.

Nope. Flash 8 makes no such claim. What it can do is export
for Flash
MX 2004, and those files open just fine. I regularly
subcontract on
projects where the other team members have only Flash MX 2004
and haven't
had any problems. In the increasingly rare cases where other
team members
only have Flash MX, I save for Flash MX 2004, then open in
Flash MX 2004 in
order to save for Flash MX.

I begin to wonder if you have gremlins! This just hasn't
happened for
me -- I think ... ever.

Not sure what you mean by "index tool," but regardless, your
best best
for programming to get comfortable with the ActionScript 2.0
Language
Reference. I realize it can be intimidating if you're only
getting started,
but I find it really helps if you can think of things in
terms of objects,
then look up the class entry for the object at hand.

This one ... absolutely. The mixer really should be bigger
than it is.

I *think* I know what you mean here, but not exactly sure. I
agree with
you that color selection could be improved, and I'm not
really sure why this
particular feature went a bit astray.

Sure thing. I'm sorry to hear you're so frustrated. Aside
from the
couple issues where I concur, I personally find that Flash
just keeps
getting better.

"Luck is the residue of good design."

Anyone else feeling like this is more trouble than it is worth?

I am currently under the grandfather plan of unlimited data, text with 450 minutes and an employee discount. I have enjoyed the usage of my Droidx for almost 3 years now. It had a good run, but the pinch of an $80 smart phone plan just doesn't seem worth it anymore. To be honest, for me the pricing of cell phone plans is getting out of control. Like everything else it seems, prices have gone up, but per usual, my income has not.
The share-everything plans look like absolute nightmares and terrible deals, and to switch over would increase my costs by $20 for what I feel is a very bad deal, seeing as I do not use many minutes on my cell phone. Although I take very good care of my phone, I am not naive enough to think that it will last forever. 2GB data plan is hardly what I would call a pot to pee in, especially with e-mail, web, pictures, etc. I realize the bottom line of the company is to make money, but lately it just seems like all of the hooplah that comes with smartphones is enough to try the patience of any saint. I'm contemplating alternatives, but I am not sure where to start. Perhaps it's time just to go to good old prepaid cell phone, and pretend I never had internet to begin with
I think the turning point for me today was the phone call I received from Verizon regarding my bills. I've never had a late bill in the 16 years I have been with them, but for some reason, my payment for February did not go through.The first words out of this lady's mouth were "I'm _____ from Verizon Wireless, you owe us ___________ how will you be paying your bill today?" Seriously? First time being late, and even though I have e-mail notifications, this is the crap I am greeted with upon answering the phone. No thank you, kiss my rear, nothing? What am I, chopped liver? Lol.

HT201318 Can I upgrade icloud plan to more than 50GB?

Use a different provider for online storage, you can have as much as 500GB, just not from iCloud.

How do I copy whole farm in 2013 Test to 2013 Production or is this more trouble than worth?

Hi,
We are migrating from SharePoint 2010 farm to a TEST SharePoint 2013 farm as Microsoft recommend. The test farm is almost complete. The Host Url Site Collections under the main Web Application all use a Sharepoint UAT prefix style name i.e. SUAT<unique
name>. I want to be able to move everything from TEST farm to Production in one foul swoop i.e. Service Applications. How can I do this - farm-backup? Or should I update the Service Applications and restore my Host Url Site Collections without prefix with
powershell script I have or is this more trouble then it's worth.
Thanks.
John.

Hi John,
Step 1 is straight forward; you are upgrading content from the 2010 to the 2013 version. I agree with the recommendation to move to a testing environment as a best practice. However, setting up your pre-production and moving the content there
will save effort.
Moving content and containers between 2013 test to 2013 production is a matter of copying and attaching databases. The trick is the farm level configurations, as they cannot be easily "copied." There are some steps to save effort, for
instance the Term Store can be exported (https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/PowerShell-for-SharePoint-a838b5d0). However you really need to plan for building two sets of service applications.
Also, make sure you plan for deploying any Apps or Features between test and production.
There are 3rd party tools to simplify this, my firm has a tool DocAve Deployment Manager. But before taking the plunge on any of this additional effort, be sure that using a pre-production farm is not best for you. This
is especially true if it will be offline until after the full migration.
Hope this helps,

Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

That may be a problem with the VLC plugin. VLC has never worked for me properly on the occasions that I've tried it on Windows and Linux, so I have stop using it. There are usually other plugins or media players available that work better.
What kind of media files are that?
For WMP files you can install the new Windows Media Player plugin you can also try RealPlayer and QuickTime if it is about media that those programs can handle to see if that works better.

How can I stop iCloud from deleting more photos on my PC?

I've been frustrated with the slowness of the photo stream and iCloud. So I have often just plugged my phone into my PC and manually backed up my photos into my Stream folder (the same folder that is chosen in the iCloud menu).
So I had 1000's of photos on my PC from the last 4 or 5 years.
Gone.
For some reason I now go to my Photo Stream on my phone, or on my own PC, and not only do NONE of the photos that are left match (the ones I can see on my phone are not the same as the ones on the PC) but thousands of photos that were on my PC, manually backed up there by myself, are gone. There are only 20 on my PC now. 23 when I look at my photo stream on my phone.
Another odd thing, I took several photos last week, had them on my phone, in my Photo Stream, and on my PC in my Photo Stream. I often delete photos from my phone once they are backed up on the Stream, or on my PC. So I was surprised to see that ONE of FIVE photos I took in a series was still in my photo stream, and on my PC, but the other FOUR photos from that same moment in time are gone.
I want some of these photos back. Many memorable events from the past four years are just gone.
Not funny, Apple. Fix this.
(P.S. I have 2.3 terrabytes of photos backed up on the PC in question, and duplicated on two other drives in secure locations. Other than one batch of 30 or 40 photos going bad on a card in camera, I have NEVER lost an archived photo before this.)

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

Can I make ICloud my online storage rather than Google

I keep getting messages that my Google folder is full at 15 G and they want to charge 1.99/mo for more storage. I already pay for extra ICloud storage, if I use Safari instead, does my info go to that storage instead? When did this change in using Google start? Is there some other function I'm missing here?

iCloud storage is intended for use with iDevices' data rather than storing that data on the computer via iTunes. It is not for general cloud storage.

Can i install iCloud on a drive other than C:?

I am installing i Cloud on a Windows 7 but do not have an option of putting it any where but C drive. How can i install it to another drive? I keeep my operating system on a small partition and install all my programs to a larger partition.

Install it normally, launch it with the Shift key held down, and create a new library on the desired drive. The iTunes application contains system components and therefore must be installed on the drive or partition containing the OS.

Is it more trouble than its worth?...

Hi.
Not used apple stuff in a long time after a few bad experiences with apple stuff in the past.
Im getting twitchy again as I would like a decent music player and have been recently looking at the 80gig video.
I am sort of up to speed with the problems some ipod users are having with the pods at the moment.
My question is, is it worth getting one or is it worth looking else where ie Creative or wait until Microsoft release their Zune?
One of the BIG factors that puts me off getting a pod is that their is still no user replacable battery and hate the idea of having to send the pod back to apple to get a recon back, have known so many friends send in their mint ipods to get trashed ones back.
My last pod I had was a 40 gig color and it had majour problems with sound quality which was fixed when I got rid of it. Do the 80 videos sound good?
Really dont know what to do, I know that their will be lots of people who have them and have had no problems hence dont post, and I know thier are a few that do post that have great pods, but I would say their are more with problems than those without.
Im just getting peoples feedback before I part with £260 and re-enter apples monoply.
Cheers!

with 14 million + ipods sold in the last quarter of 2005, I highly doubt there is more with problems then without. Typically the only people who come to help forums are those with problems, So i think you will always find more people posting with problems then without problems.
I have a iPod video and I think the sound quality is great, I didn't buy it for the video, and really didn't expect that much from the video, but I was very surprised by the sound and picture quality.
I hope whatever you decide to do that you find ya a good music player.
