History just will not save even on Firefox. Safari works fine and the settings appear to be OK on FF but nothing

My computer (MACBOOKPRO) is not and has not for a year saved yet alone showing history. I need to back track 15 or so pages and nope, can't do; even with visiting settings and prefernces and making sure its all set up to what appears to be correctly? What the hell is going on or what im i doing wrong?
Computer is a 2yrs almost. i have used my MAC after extr. beam radiation, I know thats not "ideal" for it. Safari saves my history just fine yet i prefer Firefox but i cant view anything if I need to go backwards or look it up in the bookmarks menu

Not saving History (Tools -> options -> Privacy), make sure you are not clearing in "Settings for Clearing History"

You are rather far behind on Firefox updates with Firefox 3.0.4 the current ones are Firefox 3.6.17; and if you have an Intel chip in your Mac OS X 10.5 you can go to Firefox 5
If you do update to Firefox 5: You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

HT204406 I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine). It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens-how do I get it to download on my computer

I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine). It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download (purchase is no longer a given option) ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens…how do I get it to download on my computer ?

If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy over to your iTunes library. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

ICal 4.0.1 will not save imported ics files - outlook works fine

I am not sure when this started happening because I haven't had to import a calendar event for a while. We recently switched over to Exchange 2007 and now with SL I can run in native exchange mode for iCal.
Ever since that, if I open a .ics calendar file, iCal will ask which calendar to open it with and then silently ignores the event. If I open the same .ics file in Outlook it opens, saves and the event will show up in iCal from the exchange server.
I've stripped the event down to the most bare elements making sure it wasn't a data format issue, still no go.
Any ideas on how to solve this? I'd hate to have to run parallels all the time just to accept events now...

I have what seems to be a similar issue. Are you having other issues like mine?
Macbook air      11-inch, Late 2010
                        4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software           Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have updated the latest combi update from the apple site and still have the same issue.
No matter what I try every time I restart my Mac all my preferences and applications reset. (Also preferences don't save when exiting the preference folder)
For example when in >system preferences>general -untick the 'restore windows when quitting and re-open apps' I exit preferences and then go back in to check it has automatically reticked the box.
I have deleted 2 applications several times (including removing the icon from the dock) and each time after restarting it shows a question mark on the dock where I had deleted it from.
On restart I loose downloads and history in safai.
On restart it re opens documents and applications I have quite even after unticking the restore applications on restart box (the one that comes up when shutting down or restarting)
I have been trying to solve this for a month now and it really is frustrating the **** out of me.
helpppp pleaseee...

IPad 1 is recognized by iTunes running on Windows XP but will not sync (new problem, used to work fine). The iPad and all its contents displayed but warning box says the iPad is not connected. Tried soft reboot. All software versions current.

iPad 1 connects to iTunes and displays in the left column. All elements on iPad displayed. However, it will not sync. Displays message that the iPad is not connected. This is a new issue. Used to work fine. All iTines and iPad software up to date. Ran HELP diagnotsic in iTunes with iPad connected - no issues noted. Attempted soft reboot of iPad. No help.

Issue hopefully resolved. Required Apple store to delete all info from iPad and reinstall operating system. Had to reload all data, but it seems to be working fine. Cause unknown.

My ipad will not swith on. It was working fine an hour earlier but when I press the power on button nothing happens. I have had it on charge just to be safe but no joy. What options do I have?

My ipad will not swith on. It was working fine an hour earlier but when I press the power on button nothing happens. I have had it on charge just to be safe but no joy. This is a basic first version ipad. What options do I have?

Try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?

Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it?

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
To be clear, are you talking about accounts set up in Apple's Mail application?

Why is the new Safari (7) not letting sound be heard from Soundcloud widgets (players) on my website when the earlier Safari worked fine, and other browsers also work fine?

Might be an incompatible extension or plugin ...
Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

I have used fire fos for years and feel it is vastly superior please help

Ok Guys and gals, Here is a CLUE ! I have the same problem as listed above. Here is the clue, but I don't know how it figures into the scheme of things.
I have 2 users set up for my vista OS. The admin user, Fire fox 6.02 works fine. The second user is my name and its fire fox 6.02 is screwed up. I can load Gmail, yahoo, Boost mobile and others in the second user login. But if I log in as Administrator the Fire fox is fine. Fast, clean and stable.
So Some how my settings in the user #2 is or has corrupted and or changed ! I didnt do it, Firefox somehow changed the settings or became corrupt in my #2 user login account using Firefox 6.02.
Now I have tried to use a new user in fire fox and that did not fix firefox for user #2 on Vista.
I also disabled AD BLOCKER and that didnt help either.
SO my only observation is that the VISTA user #2 account utilizing FireFox 6.02 has changed some how and won't load web pages properly.
Vista User account #1 Fire fox works Fine...
Any idea? how to get user accounts FireFox 6.02 to work properly ?

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate... disconnect display, open lid laptop display will not activate... used to work fine.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate when keyboard/mouse used... disconnect display, open lid and laptop display will not activate... only way out is hold power button. Worked fine before Lion update. Any Advice?

Thanks very much Coander15... I've printed the doc you pointed me towards and I'll run through it.. hoping it helps!
Before I installed Lion I simply hit any key on the keyboard or clicked the mouse...
The keyboard is USB (usually connected to monitor which is connected to laptop... have tried direct connect to laptop as well with no luck) and mouse is USB wireless to one of those tiny plug in's... have tried direct connect USb mouse as well with no luck.
I could plug the closed/sleeping laptop into the monitor and unplug from the monitor without incident all day/night... always worked fine.
Had heard something about this happening w/ Lion but went ahead anyway.
Oh well...
Hoping your pointer helps... will let you know how it turns out. Thanks very much for responding!!!

I cannot use Microsoft Hotmail with Firefox 3.6.24 and Windows 7. I click on an email but nothing happens. I did not have this problem with Windows Vista. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

The Windows 7 is on a new Dell Inspiron desktop. The Windows Vista is on a Dell Studio laptop that I have had for a while. The Hotmail also works fine on the new computer when I use IE9.

Passwords cannot be saved in version 22. worked fine before the upgrade. I am NOT in the "Private Viewing" setting. It just will NOT save passwords.

The "dropdown for "Save passwords is NOT grayed out. Clicking the "save password box does NOTHING. I am running Windows XP SP3. The previous version (21) worked fine. Version 223 does not allow for passwords to be saved. I am NOT in the Private viewing mode. The ""Remember Passwords for sites" box under Tools/ Options/ Security is checked. "remember History" shows on Tools/ Options/ Privacy. As I said: Save passwords is no longer working with version 22. It worked on version 21. No settings were made with this upgrade. I am on another computer that does NOT have version 22 on it. I refuse to upgrade this computer.

This does NOT work either. If you are not running Windows XP SP# and Firefox 22 please do not make these suggestions. These two "suggestions" do NOT work either. The problem is inherent with Firefox release 22. It will NOT allow the saving of passwords. Again: if you are not running Windows XP SP3 and Firefox 22 please do not offer these "suggestions"....

Firefox will not load my gmail, cleaned history, still will not load. I switched to goggle Chrome and I have no trouble with loading all programs. What is going on?

All of a sudden it will not load my gmail. Restarted my computer, cleaned up history still not working on gmail. recently updated Firefox a few days ago, but I have not had trouble until today with loading gmail. Worked earlier.

The problems are getting worse. I think I will have to give up on Firefox and go with the Google browser. No problems with IE just firefox and I can't take it anymore.

Using Mac OS, Firefox 3.6 will not save nor open html files with spaces in the file name. Will version 4.0 do this?

I have hundreds of saved files with names that have spaces in them (like movie 10 41.html). I could not use Firefox 3.6 because it would not open these files for viewing and had to reinstall Firefox 3.5.8 which I have now. If I install Firefox 4.o, will I have the same problem? I use Mac OS 10.5

I have Firefox 3.6.6, and now that Firefox 4.0 is available, it crashes constantly. Sometimes less than 5 minutes after I open it. I have a Mac 10.4.11, so Firefox 4.0 isn't an option for me. When I asked Ff to check my plug-ins it said there was an error and to check back later. Twice.
Because I didn't have any (any) problems with my Ff before the upgrade became available, I am forced to question if Ff has done something to make the earlier version crash so you'll upgrade, but I can't afford to upgrade my Mac right now.
In the meantime, I do need a browser that works! I dislike Safari, Chrome is also not available on Mac 10.4.11, and Explorer is just plain not available on Mac.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix my Firefox 3.6.6?
Ty
