Facebook is my home page on Mozilla; everytime I go to log in, my browser has been changed to proxy. I have to change this every time in order to get face book to load; how do I stop the browser from changing to proxy?

My internet option state "do not use a proxy" but each time I go to long in on Firefox to Facebook, the proxy server has been changed to showing proxy and I can not get on to facebook until I go in and change it back to Do Not use Proxy. The problem is the setting does not stay but every time I go back to long on it's back to proxy server? How do I get it to not change???

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

  • How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one space one in Notes?

    How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one Space one in Notes?
    I am currently working on a MacBook Pro connected by Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth to my 16GB iPhone 4S; and supposedly to iCloud.  I install every upgrade on each computer till the computer can take no more.  My current MacBook Pro continues to accept upgrades.
    I have been dealing with Address Book foibles since it first came out and the problems seem to get worse rather than resolved.
    Problem #1: When a Company Name is checked to take precedence over a personal name the record/file does not surface during searches.  This has happened for years on all my Macs, including most recently my MacBook Pro and its predecessor PowerBook G4.  How do I fix this?
    Problem #2: The Printing Defaults for Address Book Files are not useful and I can find no way to change them to my own preferences once and for all.  I must reset them for every file every time I choose to print a file.  Is there some way to set the defaults to MY preferences and only occasionally reset them according to my needs?
    Problem #3:  When entering information in "Notes" the cursor randomly and spontaneously goes to line one space one as I am entering information.  How do I stop this?  Then when I cut and paste the misplaced text to where it belongs it may or may not return to once again begin at line one space one and following.
    Problem #4:  When Printing a Record/File from Address Book I would like to use the whole 8.5" x 11" page.  Instead it prints on an 8.5" x 11" page in three columns.  Is there a way to format the output?  I have not found one and the Mac 'Geniuses' do not know of any.
    Problem #5:  Subsequent to one of the upgrades in the last year or so, the search feature does not work.  (I have had this computer since May 2011).  No matter what I type in the search line I am stuck in the 'All' Directory.  To find anyone or anything I must scroll through the address book manually.  Is there a fix to this?
    Problem #6:  Sometimes, when I try to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, the records simply duplicate.  How d I undo this without manually deleting the duplicates?
    Problem #7:  Does anyone know of a third party Address-Book-type App that is better than the Apple version and can easily import over 3000 contacts information?

    '''I had the same problem when I updated to firefox 4. This is how i fixed it:'''
    The problem seems to be caused by the 'New Tab Homepage' add on. So:
    # Disable or remove the 'New Tab Homepage' add on and restart firefox.
    # Download and install the firefox add on called 'NewTabURL' and restart firefox.
    # Click on the Options button for NewTabURL and uncheck 'Select location bar after loading new tab'
    # Under the 'Default URL for new tabs' heading, choose 'Home Page'
    # Click on the Save button.
    Hopefully, problem solved!

  • How do I stop the Finder from seeing SMB (Windows) shares on the network?

    I have the OPPOSITE problem most people have -- Windows Sharing works TOO WELL.
    I've donated a refurbished eMac to the local homeless shelter. I figured I'd made the system secure, and prevented any monkey business. Turns out the windows machines on the network are COMPLETELY insecure (guest access to everything is enabled). The problem is that the Mac is TOO friendly -- it automatically connects to the server as a guest, and happily presents everything to the user.
    I've tried a dozen different things (I've removed the 'Shared' section from the sidebar in the Finder windows (Go->Network is still there, Doh.), tried to turn off File Sharing, and even disabled the mount_smbfs command in the /sbin directory with "chmod 0 mount_smbfs".)
    I've asked the folks there to call in a PC tech and fix their security problem -- but it's a good question to which I've found no suitable answer... How to I stop the Mac from connecting to SMB Shares on the local network?
    Thanks.
    -JD.

    Same problem, keep getting a pop up with connection failed you do not have permission to access the server. The server is a windows 7 box, Starting happening after an up grade to windows 7. Nowhere can I find how to stop trying to connect. I am sure its at the unix level of samba but what to do is another question

    how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media.  i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

    No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

  • How do i stop the screen from rotating on my iphone

    how do i stop the screen from rotating on my iphone when i move the phone from horizontal to vertical

    You can lock your screen from rotating. Double-click the home button, then slide your finger to the right until your get to the iPod section. There you click the icon on the left and that will lock your screen. You can unlock it the same way.

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

  • How to stop  the users from changing the Decimal in SAP

    How  to stop  the users from changing User Profile

    Hai,
    It is not possible to restrict SU3 to display, because it has only S_TCODE has the authorization object.
    If you really want to restrict users from changing their profile you have to remove the SU3 access and give SU1 or SU2 which gives access only to Personnel details and Parameters.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I stop the menu from showing up when I hover to the top of a full screen app?

    I am running Parallels in full-screen on Lion and when I move the cursor towards the top of the full screen app the menu pops up. How do I stop the menu from popping up? I keep hitting an icon on the menu bar that pulls it out of full screen mode and it's getting very annoying. Thanks.

    Use VMware Fusion? But seriously, Fusion does what you want. It just puts a mini VM control menu at the top when running full screen (and that's configurable, too), so the main menu bar doesn't appear at all. Which means that it's up to Parallels to handle this. Are you running Parallels 7, which is designed for Lion? If you are and Parallels still doesn't offer something similar, you need to contact Parallels.

  • How do I STOP  the headphones from turning on iPod app?

    If you press the mic jack on the iPhone headphones, it starts the iPod app playing. Nice, if you want to listen to music. Irritating, if it goes off in your pocket.
    How do I STOP the mic from turning on the iPod app?

    Having this problem too with the Klipsch Image S4i earbuds ... yeah, apparently they DO duplicate the Apple headphone control functions exactly.
    Short of unplugging the earbuds every time you store your iPhone in your pocket or whatever, is there a software fix or preference option to help with this?

    I don't have any problem attaching just a MS Word file in Mail. My process is pretty simple....with a message open I click the attach icon (paperclip) at the top of the message, then navigate to where the file is located and select it. I make sure I have the cursor at the bottom of the new message below my signature line. FWIW I use MS Word 2011.

    If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.
