Disable empty cache dialog

Does anyone know how to get rid of the rather annoying dialog box that comes up when you want to empty the cache in Safari? As a web developer, I'd like to be able to hit 'option-command-e' and just have it happen without any further hold-ups. Is there some command line code to turn it off?
Cheers!

Hi Andy,
Not that I'm aware of.
If you want the cache off permanently have you tried making the Safari cache folder ( ~/Library/Caches/Safari/ ) read-only after quitting Safari and emptying it?

  • Disable iCloud open dialog

    I have added some applications to iCloud Drive since I want to share documents at home and work. The annoying is that after that these applications starts with a, in my opinion, completely undesirable open dialog instead of an empty document.
    I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a way to disable this open dialog and still have the applications in iCloud Drive?

    I have added some applications to iCloud Drive
    I am not sure what you mean:  Did you move the applications from the "Applications" folder to iCloud Drive, or did you store the documents for applications in iCloud drive? Which applications are you asking about?

  • Can I reset my search engine to Wikipedia? I don't want any of those default Search Engines anymore they are too intrusive. And I can not Empty Cache any more and Google has taken over the address bar?

    Can someone please explain how this now works? And am I obligated to load Mountain Lion. It's a very expensive price to pay for online privacy that isn't even Private anymore. I am old enough that I don't have to pay ransome. I can just quit.
    I didn't say and was never asked If I wanted Mountain Lion. I can no longer 'Empty Cache' at the end of a session online and when I do a search now (and this has all changed overnight) the query is typed into what used to be the address bar and when the search results appear, after reading the first result and I want to read the second or fifth or Any of the other results of the query I am forced to resubmit the search in the address bar because the 'Page Back' button has been removed and the Little Red Dot closes the Search Results Page altogether.
    What else am I in for with Mountain Lion? I already know that I do NOT want anything to do with iCloud. I am willing to bet a lot of money that a pharmaceutical company one day is going to be holding me for ransome with a new drug that was created out of the symptoms of a once - upon - a - time naturally occuring symptom of aging. At least I can turn my Macbook off and leave it that way and the world will not cease to exist. (Or will it?)

    Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:

    If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

  • How can I disable "download error" dialog box when saving a complete web page?

    Sometimes, when I try to save a web page as type: "Web Page, complete", firefox displays download error dialog box stating a file "could not be saved, because the source file could not be read."
    I don't have a problem with firefox couldn't save that file, but I have a problem with firefox displaying that dialog box, because I have to click OK everytime.
    Is there a way to disable that annoying dialog box?

    I modified the host file mainly to block ads. But that's not the problem. It's OK for me for firefox to not saving some parts of a page (ads usually within a frame). It's my intention to NOT saving those files. I just want to save the main content of a webpage.
    But I'm having a problem with firefox displaying the dialog boxes.

    Not sure what other tests they could run for me. I've pretty much run all the tests I can using Drive Genius and Tech Tool Pro 5. Is there anything they use that I don't know about??

    Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

  • Where did the Empty Cache option go?

    I recently did a software update for Safari and the Empty Cache option under Safari in the tool bar is no longer there. I use this ALL the time, any idea where it is?
    Thanks!

    Apparently it's been omitted from the latest Safari update however you can enable the Develop menu and clear the cache from there.
    From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now from the menu bar again click Develop > Empty Caches

  • Uploading photos to other websites , like Ebay and Making your own playing cards, is not working. It was, now it is not. I have emptied cache, updated Adobe, but I really do not want to change browsers. 3 yr old MACBook Pro. Suggestions?

    The uploader that allows me to uplaod my photos from Iphoto is no longer working consistantly. WHen I have a sight that where I am supposed to " CLICK HERE TO ADD PHOTOS"   and I click, nothing happens. Sometimes after 45 seconds it might open up the IPhoto page but then the page is frozen and the cursor can't activate any thing on the page. I cannot  scroll down the photos , make a selection or close the page. Another 60 seconds may goby and then the IPhoto site will close.
    I use it for Ebay and also things like uploading  photos for making photobooks and playing cards. I have done quite a bit to try and sort this out and I am at a loss. Not really very computer smart either!  Emptied cache,restarted,checked security,looked at Java....and called Ebay for help. I really do not want to add another browser, like FireFox, as I didi that before and it interferred with the MAIL account. Any suggestions?
    I have a 3 year old MAcBook Pro...and of course my telephone assistance has expired.
    Thanks for any response.

    David Zhang

    I've had the same issue bugging me since installing Snow, er, lion, er, cat, er, cougar, er, Mountain Lion. Incredibly ANNOYING.
    It's stupid stuff like this and reverse scrolling that really turn long-timer users off. I'm personally glad Forstall got fired for blunders such as these.
    I'm serious peeved that turning off iCloud Documents & Data actually deletes documents and data locally. That's just incredibly stupid.
    MANY thanks mende1 for the answer on how to fix it.

  • Empty error dialog when trying to sync (Windows 7 x64 + itunes 9)

    Using Windows 7 Enterprise, 64bit and the latest x64 installer of iTunes (9.0.2.25) on a HP EliteBook 8530w.
    Whenever I open iTunes, click on my iPhone (3G) and then select the "Info" tab I get an empty error dialogs popping up: See screenshot http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1582/ituneserror.png
    This dialog pops up a couple of times, one after the other. After I've dismissed them all, I can click sync and it appears to actually sync (both the phone and itunes tells me it's synchronizing). However, the empty dialog appears again during sync and once the sync has completed there hasn't been any changes to the phone
    What I'm trying to sync is calendar and contacts from MS Outlook 2007. It used to work perfectly on this same computer running XP... it all happened after I re-installed the OS and upgraded to Win7.
    I've searched through the internet and found various references to sync problems on vista/win7 on x64 although non of the symptoms seems to match mine (others were seeing bluescreens, frozen itunes etc.). Also, given the verbosity of the error dialog, it's quite hard to know what's wrong...
    Has anyone even seen this problem or am I alone with this?

    I was finally able to make it work. I'm so happy.
    For some reason, perhaps it was pure desperation or maybe I had read it somewhere on the internet, I decided to set Outlook as my default mail application. Unbelievably, this made it work - the empty error boxes are gone and synchronization works like a charm.
    So, when Outlook asks if it should be default mailer, answer yes. You can also configure this in Outlook or in the Windows 7 start menu -> Default Programs -> Set your default programs -> Outlook.
    Just make sure that Outlook is default for everything it wants to be default to. My first attempt set it to "11 out of 13" and it wasn't until I selected to use it to "all file types and protocols that it can handle to default".
    Anyway, I'm a happy user now and hopefully this can help others who are experiencing the same issues

  • How to empty cache

    Usually I clear the Safari Cache once a week and clean up cookies as well.
    I noticed after upgrading to Mountain Lion, the Empty Cache is no longer shown on the Safari drop down.
    How is this done now?
    Thanks,
    Sonja

    On Mountain Lion, the option to empty Safari cache is hidden, but you can continue using it. Follow these steps:
    1. Open Safari, go to Safari menu > Preferences > Advanced, and tick "Show Develop menu on menu bar"-
    2. Close Preferences window, and go to Develop menu > Empty caches

  • How do I empty "cache"?

    How do I empty "cache"?

    The best way to do this is simply to boot into Safe Mode.
    Here's what to do:
    1. Restart your computer
    2. Just as you hear the chime sound and see a white screen on startup, hold down the shift key
    3. You will see a progress bar as your computer boots into safe mode and clears your cache.
    4. Simply restart normally, and your cache is clear.
    Good luck!

  • How to empty cache in Safari 6?

    In Safari 6, the "empty cache" command is missing from the Safari menu. Does anyone know how to empty the cache in Safari 6?

  • Script to drop empty caches

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a way to drop group of empty caches that have specific name pattern, such as xyz-realtime-*.
    Our program dynamically creates temporary caches that after some time have all the objects expired and stay empty. I'm thinking of a reaper script that can run daily, connect to the cluster, find such empty caches and remove them. Would it be even possible?
    Any advise or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Alex

  • Disable IP caching

    I'm attempting to disable IP caching for my Web Start application. I would like to do this automatically so the end user does not need to manually modify a properties file.
    In the application, I have the line:
    java.security.Security.setProperty("networkaddress.cache.ttl" , "0");When I run this as a standalone application, it works fine. But if I include this in a jar and launch as a Web Start application, it no longer works. The property is set as expected, but the initial IP address is still cached.
    I have attempted to set this property in other ways too, such as:
    - Setting the property in the jnlp file. For example:
        <resources>
            <j2se version="1.4+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
            <jar href="DnsTest.jar"/>
            <property name="networkaddress.cache.ttl" value="0"/>
        </resources>- Setting the analogous Sun-specific property (sun.net.inetaddr.ttl) in the jnlp file
    - Prepending "java.security." to the names of these properties
    - Setting the property in the code using System.setProperty()
    - Setting the property as a jvm argument in the jnlp. For example:
    <j2se version="1.4+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" java-vm-args="-Dnetworkaddress.cache.ttl=0"/>- Setting this property on the javaws command-line
    - Using the command-line:
    "javaws -userConfig deployment.javaws.secure.properties networkaddress.cache.ttl"
    with networkaddress.cache.ttl specified in the jnlp
    Please let me know if you have any recommendations.
    Thank you.

    I tried that and it seems like my arguments that I put into my JNLP file are not being passed to the JVM. I tried a few things, none of which seem to show up in the pop up box that is displayed. I tried:
      <j2se version="1.5.0+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/auto\
    dl/j2se" java-vm-args="-Xms77m -Xmx256m -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=10 -Dnetworkaddress.cache.ttl=10 "/>and also
    <property name="sun.net.inetaddr.ttl" value="10"/>
    <property name="networkaddress.cache.ttl" value="10"/>I know you only need to set one of these, but I was just trying both just in case.
    Neither of these show up in the arguments to the JVM.
    I found one way to make this work, but it is quite ugly. If I define the JAVAWS_VM_ARGS environment variable on my local machine to have the timeout, then everything works as expected. However, this is not a very attractive option. I can't tell all the users to manually add this environment variable.
    There has to be a better way. Does anyone have any ideas?
