Happy Turkey Day over there
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone over there.
It is past midnight over here.
Thanks, Jacob. It's a wonderful excuse to gather family and friends, and celebrate each other.

I understand the charter on this is to "check-in" once every time the program is turned on, and then once every 6 hours after that, or, once every 24 hours presumably. But the phone-home-effect is over-stepping these basic parameters. If a user turns their browser off and then on, Firefox is still obligated to "check-in" even if it just checked in 3 minutes prior. If the coding is not pre-designed to overstep, or act excessively in a redundant focus, the instance of once every six hours or once every 24 hours, is still overmuch if a user has been doing this (non-voluntarily-participating) for 9 months or longer.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== This started when Firefox took up the initiative of "improving service. to end users" or similar idea, making the web safer for novice users, etcetera.Opening question was truncated. Should read: "Firefox users cannot presently exercise choice, to opt-in or out of "data collected for improving services." As a result, Firefox is constantly dialing home, sometimes four times a day or more up to 48 times a day. There is some over-stepping and redundancy here. It would seem the practice of "improving service" has been accomplished with as much information as Mozilla has gathered in the last 6-18 months about its users habits. '''Isnt it about time to give users the option to opt out of that now that most the heavy liftiing has been accomplished?'''"

I bought my iPad in USA. It was set up over there.i live in Ireland.when I try to buy from apple store it doesn't accept my details and says I must put in my USA address.can this be changed?
Walk it into the nearest Apple Store there in Ireland, admit you purposely avoided buying it there, and ask them to help you sort it out. I'm sure they'll be happy to service your overseas purchase.....

my safari is always shutting off and then a box asking me to fill out a report pops up it happens at least once a day, is there anything i could do to stop this?
I think you mean it's crashing or quitting unexpectedly.
Most likely due to third party Safari add ons. Follow the instructions for troubleshooting here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If you can't resolve the issue, post a crash report so we can try and help you get Safari going again.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder. -
I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?
If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back. -
I bought my iPhone 4 in Canada and have been using it here for the past 7 months. In september I will be moving to the UK and am wondering if I get a UK sim card will I be able to use it as my cell phone over there?
Hi: I don't believe that Telus provides unlocking for the iPhone. Other phones, yes, iPhone no.

Happy Mac Day To Me!!!
Its been 4 years since I brought home my G3 Graphite iMac. How time flys. I remember needing a computer. I had lost my job, my wife started working from home, and I was attending college part time. This meant the Gateway was now hers for the purpose of work. I was thinking about another Gateway, maybe a Dell. I also remembered that Comp USA had this neat little section for Apple. This section stood out from the rows of generic pc’s. This section was in a word cool.
It was different. From the carpeted floor, to Nanosaur on the iMacs to the aura that one would feel a sense of quality. The look and feel of these computers was well, superior. “Just looking” I would say to the helpful sales people. These machines are gorgeous, but a little tough on the budget. But I liked the seamless appearance and interface of the Mac. Even if they were an all in one. The pcs were just clones of each other, take off the manufactures label and you couldn’t tell one from the other. Pcs had no where near the software or extras like on the Macs.
Then it happened Mac World 2002. The incredible g4 iMac was released to an unsuspecting world. I pounced...on the g3. It was seriously marked down. All that power, speed and all those applications. I just couldn’t resist.
On January 12th 2002 I brought home my graphite 40 gb, 256 mb 600 mhz iMac. And immediately panicked!!! What was I thinking? I didn’t know Apple! Certainly I didn’t know this OS X stuff! No applications from Windows would work with this this THING! Right? I had seven days to see if I liked this Apple iMac, if not it goes back in the box and I get a nice safe Windows PC running 2000 or better yet XP. Day 1, 2, 3 went by. The box only feet away. Back to Apple store I thought. Back to the Apple store. I’ll just pick it up and put it in the box. Truth be told it almost happened. Divine intervention I speculate.
Some where around day four, my wife, she’s pretty smart, told me 2 magic words. Learning Curve. The box slowly got pushed aside. My iMac started to become...cool again, I didn’t know it could do that, Wow that was easy! This iTunes is awesome (V. 2), This is really cool!!! Words of praise started to come from my work area in the recently refinished basement. The box disappeared. It got donated to give an old Tangerine iMac that was loaned to me safe passage to a school in need of good working computers. Day 7 came and went. I think I was playing with iTunes, Quicken 2002, Nanosaur, and of course I was online, at the same time! My new trusty friend, my iMac was here to stay!!! The fun had just begun.
I started to learn and LOVE OS X. I switched back and forth between OS 9 and OS X. I found that I liked the stability of OS X that much more. I do like OS 9. I started to learn then love the applications. Most of my associates degree assignments were done on my iMac. Thank God for spell check!!! My job search changed from knocking on doors and reading the paper to e-mailing resumes and internet searches. Macintosh became an integral part of my life. Even Charlie, my tabby cat is learning OS X. He has the file renaming down to a science. Chelsea, the kitten loves HP printers. Cats! Must be the whole feline theme.
I look back on these past four years as a wonderful period of my life. My iMac was and is a big part of that. My Mac and my Jeep pick up with plow stand out as the two best purchases I have ever made. It snows a lot in Ma. Since I bought my iMac an iBook found a home here last Christmas. For a birthday present an iPod Photo resides here. My darling wife who after 15 plus years of crashes, viruses, as well as hang ups, and blue death screens from Windows 3.1 to 2000, switched. November 1, 2005 her Mac Mini arrived. Two days later she, (had to go to work due to job change) was saying “What took me so long, this is great” and “I love my Mac!!!” Told you she’s smart. She’s spreading the word. The Gateway has since been put out to pasture. That, by the way arrived on a Halloween. What does that tell you. Scary!
Now, just after Mac World 2006 the future looks bright. Strong leadership, bold innovation, and a sense of optimism and excitement. So if their is anyone on the fence here is a little advice from a former procrastinator. The question isn’t whether to buy a Mac or not, but which Mac to buy. Go to an Apple store,Comp USA, or other authorized reseller. Talk to them, tell them your wants and needs. No pressure, just a pleasant experience to say the least. Buy what suits YOU. You will not go wrong. You will be very, very happy that a Mac calls your place home.
I'll post this in Tiger as well.
Thank you all at Apple and the discussion boards too!

It certainly took some time, but every day's a Happy Mac Day! I started using Apple with a strange Apple2 running DOS in 1980 something.. possibly before 85, but cannot stretch the neurones that far. Bought a Mac+ (512K ram on system 5... wow) then a SE30, Centris610 then went mad on a PM8500, PM9600 and now started collecting imacs and other strange things like Newton Message Pads that nobody wants to know. OS9 is a wonderful thing, Hypercard is magic, GUI fun, and OSX is all very well, but itfor me is not as exciting as firing up my old SE from 1989-90, running up OS6 and watching things happen on a paper white screen... yes, I AM WIERDperson, but I am exstatically happy with my Macs -

What a beautiful story! And how well you tell it!
In a sense your story is every mac user's story, only the names and details are different. We love our macs, even when they challenge us.
Thank you for reminding us of the satisfaction and thrill of owning a mac.
Good luck.

I wondered if anyone can advise me on whether its possible to use my iPhone in NYC by getting a pay as you go sim in the US? Do companies offer pay as you go sims over there as i wont have a credit rating.
Thanks!The only supported GSM carrier in the US is AT&T. They will not permit the use of pre-paid SIM cards in the iPhone.
You can sign up for monthly post paid service with them and use it just fine (assuming your existing phone is legitimately unlocked).
You can get pre-paid service with T-Mobile or any number of other regional GSM carriers, but not all features of the phone may work properly (or at all). -
I want to buy the iPhone 5s here in the uk and give it as Xmas gift to my sister who is staying in the USA for 6mths will it work over there?
Read what Peter said, he is from the UK. Also, if you send her money to buy one in the US, she would have one that would not support everything in the UK. Also the warranty is only good in the US, so she would have to bring it back to the US if she experienced a problem with the device. The best choice is to purchase the phone in the UK, but for it to work in the US with a US SIM, it would need to be unlocked.

I am going to Ireland soon and need to know what adapters or converters I need to buy to use my IPad 2 over there .
You can usually find an adapter at Radio Shack or a luggage store like Mori's. Airport shops also sometimes carry them. Another way is to buy Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. In my opinion this is a little expensive unless you travel to different countries and need the assortment.

I am moving to Australia to live. Can I resync my ipod with itunes on a computer over there without losing everything.
Wait, is this for a friend of for you? And yes, that is true. Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devicestab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

UAEWhere did you buy this iPhone? Did the receipt say it was unlocked?
Put in a different sim - if iPhone works, then it is locked. If it does
not work with different sim, then the iPhone is locked to a wireless
carrier. Contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking
and if you qualify. -

Tooltip delay causes tooltip to remain after focus left item
