Each time I start Friefox I am asked to import bookmatks everytime

Using Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) Firefox 17.01.
Each time it asked to to import bookmarks - I have done this numerous times - nothing gets imported (Safari).
Currently using Chrome because of this.

This happens if the profiles.ini is missing.

You can check the permissions of the folder that stores the file to make sure that you have write access.
* /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Try to repair the disk permissions:
*http://thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
Open Finder and use one of these:
* Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
* Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear

Flex asks for license each time it starts

Hello
I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't dig it out with the search.
Today I got my educational license for Flex Builder, but each time I start Flex it want me to input the license again. I do not think this is normal, it's like it can't remember the license.
Is there anything I can do?
best regards
Enrico

google was my friend
http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/4/8/Flex-Builder-3-Serial-Number-is-Invalid
you have to start flex with admin permissions hence from the terminal
sudo /Applications/Adobe\ Flex\ Builder\ 3/Flex\ Builder.app/Contents/MacOS/FlexBuilder

Mail asked for a password each time it starts

I've used gmail (IMAP) for several months with no problems, until recently. Now Mail asks for a password each time it starts, then again when I try to send a mail. Despite re-entering the password and checking the box for the password to be stored, I'm prompted again the next time I re-start Mail.
I've tried several remedies described here in support discussions including:
1. delete the imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com entries in the keychain then re-enter the password via Mail.
2. run keychain first aid.
3. manually enter the passwords in keychain
4. use disk utility to repair all permissions
None of the above remedies have worked for me.
With some trial and error, I've discovered that setting Access Control for the two Keychain items (imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com) to "Allow all applications" (rather than the default "Confirm before allowing" with "Mail" as the listed application) does work.
So it appears that Keychain allows Mail to store the passwords but then does not allow Mail access to retrieve the stored passwords once Mail is restarted when "Confirm before allowing" is set.
Although now I have a "Work-around", does anyone have an idea of what's broken and how to fix it? Thanks.

OK. I tried the "Keychain Reset" and it did not work. The reset created a blank keychain file. I entered the mail passwords after starting Mail.app, then quit Mail. When I restarted Mail.app, it prompted again for the previously entered password. No change.
The clue to the problem is the current "work around". If I set "Allow All Applications" the Keychain allows Mail.app to use the stored passwords. Of course this defeats part of the security.
So Far...:

"Loading iTunes Match" showing each time I start Music

Hi,
I've recently had some trouble with iTunes match, where it wasn't downloading songs, although I could stream them fine. I spoke to someone from Apple who suggested turning off iTunes Match, then do a 'Reset All Settings', then re-enable iTunes Match. This seems to work fine, as I can now download songs.
Since performing the above 'reset', each time I start 'Music', it displays 'Loading iTunes Match', the progress bar gets all the way across, then I see my songs (not my playlists though - but that's a separate question). However, if I come out of Music, and go back in, I see the same message..
I've now tried about 10 times, with re-boots and turning off/on iTue

Hi,
There may a problem track amongst those tracks that are waiting. Firstly, add iCloud status column to song view - go to menu > view > view options and tick box.
Next is to examine those tracks waiting - is there anything unusual or large? You may need to remove all those tracks waiting from your library. Next hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes, reopen and turn on match. You will be asked to add this computer, do so. The match process should be quick, match will remember previous matches and uploads.
Once process complete, readd those tracks, a small batch at a time. This will help you find any track that match does not like.

I am using Windows 7 and using IE 10, I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer

Hi I am using Windows 7 and IE 10 and I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer, even with a fresh install. The same thing is happening on my laptop and is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem. I have tried some suggested fixes from this forum with still no results. Thanks.

Make sure that you allow Firefox in your security software (firewall).
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Agreeing to licence agreement each time I start iTunes

I have to agree to the software license agreement each time I start itunes. Anyone know how to fix this? It also asks me to configure iTunes every time it opens.
Many thanks for any help anyone can give.

Im also Having the same problem.. anyone help?

I am having problems logging into mail and getting mail from MobilMe. Each day I start Mail I am asked for my MobileMe password. If I type it in and do not check the remember me box, it is fine. If I check the box, I can't log in.

I am having trouble using Mail. Each time I start the program I am asked for my MobileMe password to retrieve mail. If I give the password, without the remember me box checked, it works fine. If I check the "remember me" box, the same same message appears asking me to input the password for MobileMe. This is only happening for my MobileMe account.

It sounds to me like your keyboard has been damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced. Can you try an external keyboard?

Each time I start iTunes on one of my computers it prompts me for my password.

Hello all. On one of my computers (a Sony VAIO laptop), each time I start iTunes, the program prompts me for my password to enable automatic downloads. The email address of my account is filled in, but the password field is blank. The other computer (a Gateway desktop) doesn't do this; evidently, the first time I input both email address and password, it saved it successfully and hasn't asked for it again. Both are i7 machines running Windows 7 Home Premium with all updates current. I've done all sorts of troubleshooting and even removed and reinstalled iTunes to no avail. This only appears to have become a problem with the upgrade to 10.5. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hello Vulspyr
Look in the iTunes Store and there will a link that says Purchased, once there you should be able see all purchased made under the Apple ID that you are signed in with and there should be a cloud icon to download those tracks. The article below will assist you further.
Download past purchases

Somehow firefox now opens with my windows mail. Each time I enter my password it asks if I want to save it so I don't have to retype my login and password each time. I hit yes and when I leave firefox it doesn't keep my password. I would like to either

I recently went to open my windows live mail,which normally opens because it has my login and password saved. Now it opens in firefox and I have to retype my login and password everytime I open my mail. I would like when I open my mail not to have to retype my login and password as this is why I have it set up in the original windows mail anyway. So I have attempted to live with this problem by adjusting the options to save my password and when I close out of firefox and try to reopen it later in the day I have to retype my login and password again.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a month ago

Each time I start up my MacBook Air a document appears on the desk top -calendarlogging.txt I'm synching my calendar with iCloud. Using Mavericks, but the same file was appearing using Lion. Any thoughts. Thanks

Each time I start up my MacBook Air a text file appears on the desk top (calendarlogging,txt) the file/document contains lines of code. I'm using iCloud to synch my calendar to multiple other devices - iMac, iPad and iPhone. Using Maverick on both my iMac and my MacBook Air. The file was also showing up on the desktop when I was using Lion. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,
To anyone who might read this, I ended up re-installing with the original install disc and was able to get back on to Mac, though I lost all of the previous data that I had not backed up. Unsure still if it will continue to let me access the HDD in this, but it kind of confirms that installing Lion probably put too much stress on the computer this last year.

HT202663 each time I go to mail it asks me to join a wireless network. I choose the one I have and dont know why I dont stay connected. I took my mac book pro to vermont and joined the network at my house there, when I got back to ny I joined here but it

my mac book pro would connect automatically to my wireless network in ny. then I went to vermont with my computer and connected to my wireless network there. when I got back to ny I changed it back to my wireless connection here but it wont stay connected. each time i go on mail it asks me to join a network. it hink i did all the right steps but it wont stay joined.

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
