Under the old Firefox browser, I could switch input languages on the fly using the keyboard input option (shift+alt). However, this appears blocked on the new Firefox.
this help is not useful.
Since the new firefox version 20.0.1, '''no more of my add-ons work''' (except firebug ). They are installed '''but not visible '''(no toolbar, no menus) !!! same for the new add - ons that I installed. I tried everything: to reinstall add-on, to reinstall firefox.
this new version of firefox is really horrible, '''thank you for making a corrective because I cannot work any more with''' -
I have a long list of Certificate Authorities (about 280), many of which are overseas, e.g. Netherlands, Turkey, China, and many others that are unknown to me. They do not appear to be related to any websites I visited. Are my emails compromised in terms of privacy? Should I delete them? Why do I need so many certificate authorities?
Sure delete them... but when you get email or try and open a web page that has a certificate from them you will not be able to open the mail or the web page without issues or making manual decision to trust the authority in question. The geographical location of the certifying authority is of no relevance.
The now defunct Mozilla Messaging used a certifying authority in Israel for it's certificates (Start) so if someone had deleted that from their settings in a fit of xenophobic housekeeping they would not have been able to open their web sites or read mail from their employees without problems.
Certifying Authorities form a chain of trust. They on the whole certify one another, but at the top of the certification pyramid/s there most be someone or group of someones who the program simply "trusts" to certify. Hence programs have a long list of pre approved companies that are allowed to issue certificates. These lists are constantly updated and should there be a serious security issue such as one of the authorities being compromised. The people at Mozilla will update or revoke that authorities trusted status. -
Hello， im living at china, and im using chinese appstore to buy apps. but i forgaot my security answers to pay for smth.What i gonna to do?
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 -
How do I set up a rule to block emails from China? Better yey, how can I block emails that aren's in English?
I haven't found any reliable way to block non-English emails with the included rules or junkmail filter. I turned to SpamSieve which has worked pretty well:

It's not free but I think it's worth the price. You can download their trial version and test it out for yourself.

Can send but not retrieve emails using Thunderbird and Windows 8.1
Hi, I am not able to get Thunderbird to retrieve emails on a new laptop.
Last week I purchased a new laptop due to an imminent hard disk failure on my old laptop. I will call them "Old" and "New" laptops. (Old laptop is still working for the moment...)
The Old laptop is nearly 3 years old, and I have been using Thunderbird on it since new without any problems.
I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the New laptop, and can not get it to retrieve emails.
As the Old laptop is still working (at the moment), I am able to directly visually compare and check settings on both computers.
THE PROBLEM
Using Thunderbird on the New laptop, I am able to send emails, I can see all my old emails restored from the Old laptop using Mozbackup, but clicking Get Mail on the New laptop does not retrieve new
emails.
When I click Get Mail, the status message in the bottom left corner says "connected to .....<ISP>..." but does not actually get the emails. However, the Old laptop is still able to get emails as it always has.
My ISP is a large Australian telco that I have used for many years and I have not changed anything with my account. The ISP is POP3.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED
I deleted the email account created by restoring from Mozbackup, and attempted using the Thunderbird new account wizard, however Thunderbird did not recognise my ISP and would not create the account - even though it is working perfectly at the same time on the Old laptop.
All Firewalls I can find have been configured to allow Thunderbird, with the same configuration settings on both machines.
How do I know I can send but not Get emails from Thunderbird on the New laptop?
I have sent test emails to myself from the New laptop. Thunderbird sends successfully, I am able to preview the test emails via Mailwasher on the New laptop, and can read, reply, etc, to the emails if I log into my ISP webmail service. However I can NOT get Thunderbird to retrieve and download these emails on the New laptop. If I go to the Old laptop, Thunderbird works perfectly, retrieves and downloads all new emails, including these test emails.
I am now at the point where I do not know what else to try and would appreciate any suggestions.....
I have spent many hours over the last 3 days surfing the net, forums, Mozilla Support, etc, and tried everything suggested, without success. The only thing I have NOT tried is starting windows in Safe mode (as per some suggestions), as it is not a viable long term solution.
OTHER INFO
Computer Details;-
"Old" laptop;-
Windows 7 Home Premium - continuously updated with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 working perfectly. Up to date.
"New" laptop;-
Windows 8.1 - up to date with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 - downloaded and installed.
Note: I 'downloaded and installed' the Windows 8.1 version of these programs to avoid any potential compatibility problems restoring or copying from a Windows 7 backup version of the programs.
1) New laptop came with pre-installed with McAfee - which has been Uninstalled due to running Bitdefender (Windows searches for 'McAfee' return nothing found suggesting the Uninstall was successful).
2) Thunderbird has been added to both Bitdefender and Windows 8.1 firewalls on the New laptop.
3) Bitdefender and Windows security settings are identical on both laptops - as near as I can determine, I may be missing something - but have checked all settings 3 times by doing a side-by-side visual comparison.
4) Thunderbird settings are also identical and I am using the same email address and ISP that I have been using for many years.
5) I migrated Thunderbird settings, accounts and emails from the Old laptop to the New laptop using Mozbackup, then visually checked and compared all settings in Thunderbird between the two machines.
6) For info, I have used Mailwasher for many years as a simple way to preview and wash mail before running email programs such as Thunderbird - might be overkill, but I have also never had a virus or malware problem, so will keep doing this.
7) I have Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird on the New laptop twice, and done the same with Bitdefender once.
8) Any config changes I try on the New laptop, I either restart Thunderbird and / or restart the New laptop, or both.
9) I have not created a Windows 8.1 account and am not using SkyDrive.
10) Only other software I have installed on the New laptop is Google Chrome, Office Home 2013 and iTunes - all are working.
Thanks in advance....Well there is not much left. If telnet works then the path is clear and there is no hardware firewall blocking ports.
All that is left is software, so try windows safe mode with networking. A very handy way to eliminate software. it also actually disables most anti virus resident features and is preferred here because anti virus/security programs do not always disable or turn off when they say they have.
You might also try the McAfee removal tool. https://community.mcafee.com/thread/52788 I notice the rep said yes to both, they did not say not required.
Finally you could try creating a new profile, and see if it works just to exclude corruption of your existing profile. ( I doubt it but I am at the anything goes point)
Just as an aside, I have never had an email borne nasty and I for many years never even had an email virus scanner. So yes I think your a bit over cautious with mailwasher, if that is what your using it for. Thunderbird does not support scripting languages or flash, or most plugins in the email sandbox. The result is getting a virus from a mail in Thunderbird is really only possible, for all practical purposes, if you open that password protected zip from the young Russian woman and that is what the anti virus should be blocking anyway when the temp file is written. -
Using launchd to send an email on startup and shutdown
Hello All !
I'd like to get an email whenever my Mac starts up and shuts down, since I have to leave it unattended for quite some long periods of time (and even with the help of a UPS, power goes out anyway...). My Mac runs under Mac OS X Lion.
I found some help on the Internet, mainly from this page : http://www.syntaxtechnology.com/2009/06/email-on-shutdown-and-restart/ , which applies to Linux, and hoped it could work on Mac OS X (I thought at first I could just drop a script in something like /etc/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/rc5.d but well... we have launchd instead...).
The first method listed in the page above worked well, but sends an email only on startup (for a reminder: you add a line that starts with @reboot in your crontab, and a command that sends directly an email).
I then tried to adapt the second method to Mac OS X, and succeeded partially: I wrote a small script based on what was shown on that page (a start and stop function, start gets called when the script is started, and stop gets called based on a trap on various kill signals, with an infinite wait loop: see below). I also wrote the plist file, loaded it in launchd and rebooted my Mac several times to test everything.
I get an email on each startup (yeah!), but the shutdown mail gets sent only at the next startup. So I guess that postfix gets killed by the shutdown process *before* being able to send my shutdown email :-(
So here are my main questions, if someone can help me:
1. is there a way to precisely call a script during the shutdown process, meaning giving it a priority so it gets called before postfix dies ? (like the rc directories and the naming conventions (KnnScriptName and SnnScriptName) found on some Linux/Unix).
2. is it possible to do that with launchd ? if not, what would be the Mac OS X sanctionned way of doing this ?
Other things:
3. my shell script writing ability is kind of rusty, so maybe I made some "very bad shell writingTM": l'm not sure putting an infinite while loop with a 15 second pause in it is the best way of telling a script to do nothing. There might other things in there that would make an Unix guru jump out of his chair: please tell me :-)
This is my plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>

<string>/Library/Scripts/startshutemail-launchd.sh</string>
<string>start</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key><true/>
</dict>
</plist>
And this is the script that does the job:
#!/bin/bash
# PHL 20120604 startshutemail-launchd.sh

Thanks for your help, and any comment :-)
Paul-HenriThanks a lot for your answer, Camelot, even if it sorts of confirm what I suspected. Pinging a machine from an external observer is a solution, but it will also report broken links problems and not only a computer shutting down, and it raises the next tier of problems, general network reliability after individual system reliability. It's something I'll have to look at for sure.
It's weird there isn't any way to access the way the shutdown process works.
One of the commenters (#14) on the page from Syntaxtechnology had a similar problem: he added a "sendmail -q" in his script to force sendmail to go to work and service the queue before shutting down, which I can try, but he also added a delay to the stop process of sendmail, which is something I'm not sure I can do on Mac OS X (and that might disappear one day with one of the OS updates).
Unless there is a way to change the launchd.plist file for postfix and add an ExitTimeOut option in it (I found this idea here : https://discussions.apple.com/message/17229690#17229690 )
Cheers,

How do I change my user name in syn? I typed in the wrong email address. And I cancelled syn thinking this may work but no luck.
You have to clear saved password for this page:
# Open you login page (where you have to enter username and password).
# Right click on page and select '''Page Info''' form context menu.
# On last tab ('''Security''') there is '''View saved passwords''' button, click it and delete all saved passwords for this page.
# Also clear all related cookies (just in case) there is button for this next to first one. -
My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!
What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
Are you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
How much free space is actually on the device?
If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer? -

Hi Guys,
Having problem with emoji, I have the character palette shortcut on my dock which I found through article from Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoticon and drag it to my email or whatever and get a blue box - no emoji. I tried the keyboard shortcut - doesn't work. I tried the drop down the menu in edit - doesn't work either. I am running Lion and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Want to fix this before I upgrade or should I just upgrade and hope for the best? Been all over the net looking for solution.
Thanks for your help,
blueheron11Pages does not support the Apple font used for color emoji, so that behavior is normal.
With what app are you reading the yahoo mail? There is really no guarantee than any other email service will show the special Apple font involved.
You should have no problem putting emoji directly into Mail or Text edit via drag drop from the Character Viewer as shown below.
You should also be able to upload graphics here easily by clicking on the camera icon. My email is tom at bluesky dot org. -
Need to submit custom report when email option chkd and po approved
Hi All,
We use R12, our requirment is to submit a custom report when PO is approved.
Not in all cases we need this. when user select 'Approve' option for a Manually created PO,
and in the Approval form, when the User selects 'Email' check box and approves it.
Irrespective of value that is given in email field, when that Email check box is checked and PO is approved, then the custom report should get submitted.
For this our funtional team is requesting to copy the PO approval Workflow and write a event there.
But I feel this can be achived in much easier way. But not getting any ideas.
Can anyone let me know what could be the best and effective way than modifying Workflow.
Can we do with custom.pll.
where I would check if the email check box is checked in the box and if the approve button is pressed then to launch the custom report.
One more doubt, can we get the values that are being enterd in the form. I mean, if the po number is 55, in the custom.pll
can we get that value into our custom.pll code, which i need pass as a prameter to the report.
Please through any ideas. Thanks

Why is does my apple run SLOW.you go to open a program and the circle thing just spins for a delayed period of time. You change from typing in a word doc and go to say email or internet and it takes several minutes to allow you open anything up. Like it is frozen. I have tried rebooting the computer and it works for a few minutes then gets stuck.

On my MAC, with Firefox 14, (Firefox has been my favourite browser till now) it is impossible to have both Firefox and Emails, or Firefox and Safari, or Firefox and Address Book, or Firefox and iCal. Whichever I'm on when I open the other, the first immediately shoots up and out of vision or down and out of vision, only coming back when I click on the Dock icon for the particular item – Firefox, Mail, Safari, etc. It is so annoying and hugely time-wasting as I like to have all these open at the same time for the work that I do as a literary publisher.
