Have to reset Safari every time I access FaceBook - no other apps

Help - I have to reset Safari every time I want to access FaceBook, but not any other app. Only happened today after update last night. Is there a patch? Some other method to fix it? This is for a MacBookPro notebook.

The message says the server dropped the signal. Don't think it's my server, because it only happens with FB. Yes, the same thing happens no matter how I approach it on my Mac. I don't have the problem if I log in from PC or iPhone. I can eventually get on if I reset Safari and reload FB, but I'm spoiled by previous performance to expect immediate response.

How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?

How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?
I have seen this question asked previously and it seems there is no answer.
I know that one can change each individual web page (that reset defaults back to 100%) and, alternatively and apparently one can load an add-on to fix the default size at Full Zoom.
... But any hints on how to achieve a DEFAULT 125% zoom would be much appreciated.

Press CTRL + 0
Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
[[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
[[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

Have to sign in every time i access icloud

I am asked to sign in to iCloud every time I access it, even though I select "remember me" option at sign on.
This has been going on for only about 4 days. Prior to that time, I never had a problem.
Thank you.

I use Google Chrome and I seem to stay signed in. Make sure when signing in you click the "Stay Signed In" check box.

Have to reset CUPS every time machine is turned on/restarted

About two weeks ago, out of the blue, my printers disappeared. So I opened Terminal and typed 'sudo cupsd' and admin password ... and printers magically reappeared ... until i restarted the machine. Now every time I turn the machine on or restart, I have to enter the 'sudo cupsd' command in Terminal to access the printers.
Any idea why this is happening?

Have you disabled hardware acceleration? (not solved by reset is usual)
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

I have a mac, and have to redownload safari every time. Why?

So each time I log on to my macbook pro, it makes me re-download the firefox. What happens is sometimes, the firefox symbol is up and it wants me to re-drag EVERY time over to applications folder. When I do, it says you already have it, would you like to replace? So I say no, but then when that doesn't come up. I have to go into my downloads and redo it again and then it just shows up again and it says we already have it! Why can't I delete the upload and still use firefox? It just won't work right. I am about to delete it and just use Safari.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

Why do I have to log in every time I access iCloud?

I need to log in each time I access iCloud from Firefox or Safari, even though I always check the "Keep me signed in " box. Is anyone else having this problem? I never explicitly log out of iCloud (I don't know how I would do that anyway). If I bring up my calendar in Firefox and then exit from Firefox, the next time I bring it up I have to log in again. It's supposed to keep you logged in for 2 weeks if you check the "Keep me signed in" box. Have you seen this problem? Do you know of a fix?
Thanks!

This has now cleared up for me, I don't know why. Maybe Apple has fixed it? I did "Clear Recent History" in Firefox, but that didn't fix it immediately. It cleared up shortly after that, so maybe that had something to do with it. It's a mystery!

HT201493 why do I have to log on every time I want to use this app? Logging on is a collosal pain,

Logging on every time makes the app much less useful.

That wouldn't protect your friends.
Not sure why you are averse to using a screenlock, you run a precarious line by not doing.

Firefox for Android loads from start every time its switched back from other apps

Hi
I have figured this out that when I load Web pages and meanwhile I switch to other apps like Whatsapp, and then coming back to Firefox, Firefox loads again from the start instead of continuing from where I left.
Even if the Web page is loaded fully and the loading process is completed and I switch to Whatsapp or any and then back to Firefox, Firefox again starts the process from beginning and loads the same page.
This issue is not in chrome, as if Chrome is loading page and switch back and forth from other apps, chrome continues the process where I left and if the Web page is already loaded then Chrome doesn't start the process again and stays where it is.
Please look into this, else you guys rock ;)

Are you using the app switcher?
Maybe this has something to do with how long the page is supposed to be cached... When I expand my tab list, I can see that some of the tabs are just where I left them and others have blanked out.
Hopefully and Android guru can give you a better answer.

"No camaer attached" Have to reset PRAM every time.

Each time I use iChat, it says there's no camera attached. I have a MacBook Pro 17" with built in camera. I turn off, remove battery, hold on button for 5 second and that fixes it but then the next time I use it, no camera and I have to do the same thing every single time. Anyone know another way? Thanks!!

Hi,
That is in fact Resetting the PMU/SMC depending which Mac it is.
Resetting the PRAM memory involves Restarting the Computer and holding down the AppleALT+PR keys until you have heard three start up Chimes.
Repeatedly doing the first is not good.
Doing it now and then as a last resort step is what it should be used for.
Damage can occur from over use.
If the Second does not work then take it to an Engineer.

Have to reset firefox every time computer is shut down for fast speed

Firefox is slow in responding, I have attempted to reset, which works when computer is reset initial time. However when computer is restarted, returns to slow scrolling issue.

Why do we have to change passwords every time we do something on the iPad?

WHy do we have to reset passwords every time we do something on iPad?

You shouldn't have to. It sounds like you may have content on the device associated with more than one apple id. If that's the case then, you may be entering a password for one account when you should be entering another.
I would suggest using only one apple id username on the device and delete any content associated with another.

My iPad keeps prompting me to verify due to being to first time it is being used every time I attempt to download an app

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

1. What's the difference between private mode in Safari which i have to turn on every time again when opening safari. It's a two click activity which i would love to be able to set in the preference as default.

1. What's the difference between private mode in Safari which i have to turn on every time again when opening safari.

Yes, i have updated my system.
Yes, i have repared disk permissions with disk utility.
Am open for any other help in both cases. Thank you upfront
2. and the "tell websites not to track me" under Safari - Preference - Privacy.

That box should prevent websites using trackers to log your movements on the Web to benefit advertisers. I have no idea if it does.
Safari can keep your browsing history private. When you turn on private browsing, Safari doesn’t remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information, so your partner cannot see where you have been, but you must also remember to also turn off acceptance of cookies.
In all other respects Private Browsing is not as private as you might think:
http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-make-safaris-private-browsing-fea ture-actually-private/
http://www.insanely-great.com/news.php?id=9054
and then Apple's own advice from here: http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/privacy_safari.html
"Note that the Private Browsing option does not prevent Safari from collecting cookies (the preference files automatically generated by many websites). The Reset Safari option clears all cookies. If you want to delete only certain ones, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click the Security tab, and then click Show Cookies. You can select and delete individual cookies from the list that appears. Careful, though — if you’re a frequent web user, this list can be very, very long."
which is itself incomplete, the relevant part being 'If you want to delete only certain ones.
To that end it is useful to have Safari Cookies installed, which is the only cookie manager available for Safari:
http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
which automatically deletes all cookies not marked as 'favourites' when closing Safari. It does the same for Flash Cookies, but they are subject for themselves:
From this website:
http://machacks.tv/2009/01/27/flushapp-flash-cookie-removal-tool-for-os-x/
For those who do not know about Flash cookies, more properly referred to as Local Shared Objects (LSO), they operate in a similar way to regular browser cookies but are stored outside the purview of your browser, meaning you cannot delete them from within your browser, whether Safari, Firefox, Opera or any other. Typically they are issued from sites or 3rd party sites that contain Adobe Flash content. Since virtually all internet advertising is delivered in Flash, Google/Doudleclick and all other internet advertising companies are sure to be tracking your browsing behavior with Flash cookies. These companies can see you traverse the Internet as you come upon the plethora of sites that contain their embedded advertising. Check out the Wikipedia entry here.
In Mac OS X they are stored in the following location:
/User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects
The settings for the Flash cookies are stored in:
/User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys
In OS X Local Shared Objects, or Flash Cookies, are appended with a .sol suffix. Flush deletes all the Flash cookies (.sol) and their settings.
Flush can be downloaded from that page.
If you want to retain certain Flash cookies but not others, the excellent add-on for Safari called SafariCookies now includes a setting for automatically deleting flash cookies you don't want to retain, when Safari is shut down, in the same as it deals with ordinary cookies:
http://www.sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/index.htm
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff!
This article covers the issue in more depth:
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/08/you-deleted-your-cookies-think-again/
Flash cookies are also known as 'Zombie Cookies' and are used by a number of firms, including Hulu, MTV, and Myspace. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the internet security firm Sophos, told BBC News that the source of the trouble was Adobe Flash itself, which he called "one of the weirdest programs on the planet".
"I think it's highly unlikely that these large companies have abused Flash cookies - which are different from browser cookies - with malicious intent," he said.
"I think it's much more likely that the vast majority of users are simply oblivious to the bizarre way in which Adobe allows them to configure the software."

[b]Tracker cookies and the invisible web:[/b]
– tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons that are included on web pages in order to get an idea of your online behavior.
Ghostery tracks the trackers and gives you a roll-call of the ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers, and other companies interested in your activity.

This provides an extension to Safari (also available for other browsers) that shows you what data tracking is active on each web page you visit, and enables you to block them.
