Firefox forgets usernames and passwords after shutting down the computer.
I've reset all settings, cleared cache, cookies, etc. I also removed and reinstalled Firefox but it still forgets.
Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

Is it possible to continue downloading OS X Lion after shutting down the computer?
I am downloading the OS X Lion app on my MacBook Pro and is only at 180mb after an hour. I am downloading this app for free because I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. Is there a way I can continue the download even after shutting down the computer? Will I be charged the next time I try to re-download the app--as in, will the code for downloading the app for free expire?
Thank you SO much!I downloaded OS X Lion over the period of a day or so and what you have to do is pause the download (for a snow leopard user that should be in your dock) and then shut down your machine. When you boot it back up, you should be able to resume the download by clicking the OS X Lion logo and typing in your Apple ID info and the download should resume at the same spot where it was when you left it.

The new firefox twitter app (mini tab on left of page) is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? It won't appear on the page until I do. I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.
Eustace, thank you so much for writing back. I will try what you suggested!!
thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport). I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault. apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead. I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
anyway - that's THAT sad story. I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed.
I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever. I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!! -
When I started my iMac today, it started beeping like an alarm horn. I shut it down, and held the startup button a little longer to get it to start. Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer. I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again. What's up? Am I screwed? HELP!!
What you are seeing is a kernel panic, often but not always connected with a hardware or peripheral issue, so, unplug everything except mouse and keyboard, reboot and hold the shift key as soon as your hear the chime, continue holding it until you see the Apple Icon and spinning progress indicator, then post back.
It will take noticeably longer than normal to start. -
I forgot my Firefox Sync username and password but have the sync code. Will that allow me to recover my bookmarks? I don't have access to the original computer in sync.
You need at least the email address that you used to create that account to reset the password.

My firefox on my lap top (with windows 7) cannot login to my e mail website with a username and password, without first clearing the history ? my other computer has windows xp and it works fine.
I simply reinstalled fire fox 3.6.19 and I can login no problem. Seems like it could be a compatability problem between 5.0 and windows 7. One other thing that happened often was lag while playing mmorpg games. Not sure if this fixed it or not, but I can update this thread when i find out.
Thank you to who ever provided the link to the older fire fox downloads page in another question thread. -
Ical "authentication failed. your username and password were rejected by the server"
i've a pretty busy server, fully configured with correct DNS.
running 10.6.8, uptodate. i've stopped the ical service, and removed it from the server settings.
then i created a folder on my RAID /volumes/raid/ical, set its ownership to _calendar:_calendar (uid 93), rwx,rx,-
then added the iCal service back, and set the data store to this new folder.
authentication is set to digest (to reduce potential kerberos errors), with SSL on.
i then started the service
an existing user CANNOT connect to the caldav server. i get the error: ical "authentication failed. your username and password were rejected by the server".
if i create a NEW user, that user can correctly connect to the Caldav server. On first joining, an entry is created in the __uids__ folder and the calender works.
SO. WHAT IS GOING ON?
this is 10.6, so i do not have an option in WGM to 'enable calendering'. i've used the inspector to check for differences, but i can't see any.
help. please. and no comments about DNS. the fact i can get a new user to function means that is excluded. no comments about SSL. ditto. no comments about kerberos, its turned off. thanks.I often think of things in terms of time it takes to figure out the solution to the problem vs time it takes to nuke and pave.
Dare I ask... How many users would you have to remake?
150 users would probably take 2 hours to recreate?
...Have you spent 2 hours on this problem yet? How about 4 or 6?
Perhaps you could have typed up 450 remade users so far!
I have a great idea as to how to change ownership of home folders to users after they're created.
Thoughts on the problem... (but don't spend too much time on it!)
What about crypt vs open directory password?
In WGM, select the user, click the advanced tab, and ensure that your users have OD based passwords?
...sometimes that pull-down menu displays OD, but it's not really. Try selecting OD, retype the password there, and save.
See if it works.
What about in server admin.... Select the server in question, click the access button at the top.
Ensure that your services are allowed for all users to use the iCal service.
In the iCal service in Server Admin...
Host name setting? It's a stretch as new users seem to work. Ensure it's correct?
For the sake of argument... Change authentication type to Any Method... If you're running OD on the server, Kerberos is running. I know that certain services require it even though you have the option. Perhaps iCal is being finiky without it?
I apologize if you've tried all these, but as a user forum, you'll typically get users that don't believe that you've tried the basics. It's honestly the best place to start. Seeing as we don't know what you've done, it's the best advice you'll get.

How to remove black "blocked plug-in" window that opens with iPhoto. It covers iPhoto and everything under it. I've right and left clicked the black window, restarting the computer, shutting down the computer, but the window always appears when I open iPhoto and it will not move or go away. It stays on my screen (covering my desktop icons) even after I quit iPhoto. How can I get it off my screen?
Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins installed?
Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto. Is there anything installed? -

What are the username and password when i click the ICM of JavaEE5@SAP
when i click the ICM of JavaEE5@SAP in the sapmanagement console mmc, It need i input the username and password for Web_admin, What are the username and password when i click the ICM of JavaEE5@SAP and which tools act the role as the VisualAdministrator of NetWeaver04s and NetWeaver2004s?
thank you very muchHello Guoging,
you can login to ICM with username Administrator and password abc123. That is described in the start.html file, which you can find in the unzipped Downloadpackage of SAP NetWeaver Java EE 5 Edition.
You can use NetWeaverAdministrator(NWA) or config tool to configure this edition. NWA
needs to be installed separately. If you have a default installation, go to
C:SAPJP1JC00j2eeNWAdmin and execute the file install.bat. Ensure that NetWeaver is running, enter user Administrator und the Masterpassword you chose during installation and wait around 20 Minutes or more. NWA is started automatically after installation has finished in your webbrowser.
For more information on NWA read the Administrationguide

I am trying to access Organizer in Premiere Elements and it just shuts down the programme
I am trying to access Organizer in Premiere Elements and it just shuts down the programme. I tried reinstalling the programme but it just does not let me get to Organizer. Now after reinstalling, it does not let me into the programme. It just keeps on asking me to sign in. Once I sign in, it just goes blank. I checked my registration online and it is already there. What do I do apart from tearing my hair?

Can't Stay Logged In After Shutting Down My Computer
I don't know if I have Mountain Lion but this is the only place I can find to post a question. I have 10.6.8 on my MacBook. I got a new hard drive and now every time I shut down the computer it makes me log in again when I turn the computer back on. The only option to stay logged in is in Accounts in System Preferences. I have "Automatic" checked and my name in the box. Still, it asks for a password every time. I went to the Apple store and the guy I talked to tried it and it didn't work. He looked online and couldn't find it. How do I stay logged in. I've looked at everything on the login page and I can't find anything checked or unchecked that needs to be changed. I went to "Security" in System Preferences and the disable automatic login box is unchecked. I'm so frustrated. Do you know what I am doing wrong or why it won't keep me logged in?
If you are using 10.6.8, you have Snow Leopard.
Shut down the computer or put it to sleep?
I am currently in the Mountain Lion partition on my hard drive, but I boot into my Snow Leopard partition every night, so I can look tonight.
You have checked the two obvious places to check.
Without being able to see Snow Leopard now, I suggest you try some basic maintenance to see if it helps. At least that square will be filled.
Run Disk Utility/Repair Permissions. Repeat until it shows no repairs were made. Clearing the log in between runs can make the process less confusing.

I'm trying to delete a video to free up space on my mac. I've moved it to trash and when I try to empty the trash it keeps coming up with...."The operation cannot be completed because the item " ......... .m4v is in use". I'm not exactly computer literate - I don't even know what the m4v is, but I've read some discussions saying to shut down the computer - which I did - nothing everything else I've found on the m4v is too technical for me to grasp. Can anyone help me?
Sorry, didn't notice that you cd'd into that directory. Can't explain why you can't delete it, but I don't do server or NAS stuff. You might want to repost to the Unix forum.
