How can I get Safari to prompt for cookies?

I've always used Firefox, but would love to move to Safari for its iCloud integration, but it's a major frustration and a deal breaker that it doesn't provide an option to prompt for setting cookies. Every other major browser does. What's the deal?
Does anyone know of an extension that will prompt me to accept or reject cookies before they're set? Is there a Terminal command I can run? Anything?
I take my privacy seriously. Unless I am logging into a site, I have no desire to accept a cookie, especially from Google or Facebook who will sell their grandmother if they could make enough money and get away with it.
I looked at these two based on another thread:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31018/safari+cookies
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cookie/id415585910?mt=12&ls=1
At least in the first one (which is free) all it seems to do is let me delete cookies after the fact or on quitting and manually set cookies as favorites. But not setting something as a favorite doesn't seem to prevent the cookies from getting set, which seems to defeat the whole purpose.
I don't want some big, complicated mess or a pile of features that I have to fiddle with in every browser session. I just want this to work like it does in Firefox, or Chrome, or Opera, or any other browser. Prompt when a site tries to set a cookie and let me accept it or reject it. If I reject it, it stays rejected until I reset Safari. Why is that so difficult?
I wish Apple would get over it's obsessive phobia of anything approaching an advanced feature or interface element and just make things work again.
Sorry, didn't intend to rant. Just looking for help on this.

I didn't see it as a rant ... you're justified.

As it is, Safari won't prompt for cookies.

How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?

How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?
Specifically, I would like it to remember my 14 digit library account on: http://polaris.plano.gov/Polaris/logon.aspx
Firefox on my old PC was able to do this no problem. I have recently switched over to Apple. Thanks for your help!
FYI, I am on a new Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4.

Some websites request the web browser to NOT autofill the username, password. It is possible the library site is doing that. Your previous firefox on the PC may have been sufficiently old to not be able to handle such a request. There are password managers you can get to over-ride such things (search Safari extensions).

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can I get Safari 5.1.2 to automatically open pdf files on web pages by using Adobe Reader?

Safari 5.1.2 always opens pdf files on web pages as a single frame and thus it will not print properly. How can I get Safari to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader 10.1.1?

Carolyn,
Thanks for sending your suggestion on how to solve my problem. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I trashed the file, quit and relaunched Safari, but the problem remained the same. Although it did not work, I do appreciate that you took the time to try to help me.
Thanks.

There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good

There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

How can I get the elapse time for execution of a Query for a session

Hi ,
How can I get the elapse time for execution of a Query for a session?
Example - I have a report based on the procedure ,when the user execute that it takes say 3 min. to return rows.
Is there any possible way to capture this session info. for this particular execution of query along with it's execution elapse time?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
You can use the dbms_utility.get_time tool (gives binary_integer type value).
1/ Initialize you time and date of beginning :
v_beginTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
2/ Run you procedure...
3/ Get end-time with :
v_endTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
4/ Thus, calculate elapsed time by difference :
v_elapsTime := v_endTime - v_beginTime ;
This will give you time elapsed in of 100th of seconds...
Then you can format you result to give correct print time.
Hope it will help you.

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.

The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

There is no serial number and you don't need one. What you need for a subscription is to SIGN IN within Acrobat, so it knows the subscriptions you own.

How can I get a serial number for Illustrator CS5?

How can I get a serial number for Illustrator CS5 when I have a complete CC subscription?
I have a GCC Expert 24 plotter running on OS X and the direct cut plugin is only compatible with CS5 or earlier.
I have tried asking in support chat but it never actually works, my next option is to ring or get a cracked version but i'm trying to avoid both of those options if I can.
Thanks.

xdmg,
In addition to what Lutz said, unless you buy a CS5 that is still new and unused, you will need a licence transfer through Adobe,

and the application must be deactivated on any machine it has been installed on.
