How can I keep this location sharing popup from appearing?

I want it to STOP asking me! The instructions on how to remove it are not helpful : /

If you never want Firefox to share your location with any websites, there are two ways to set that. You can use whichever one seems easier.
'''Permissions page'''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and press Enter.
(2) On the right side, the heading should be '''Default Permissions for All Sites'''. If it doesn't say that, on the left side, click All Sites (which should appear below the box that says ''Search Sites'').
(3) Under '''Share Location''' change the drop-down from "Always Ask"
to "Block"
That's it, you can close this tab.
'''Configuration Editor'''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''geo''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''geo.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false. It should turn bold.
That's it, you can close this tab.
If Firefox forgets this change the next time you start it up, check out this article for possible reasons: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Edit: fixed typo in geo.enabled

    How can one stop the annoying MobileMe notice from appearing every time iPhoto is opened?

    Well then you can not remove something that obviously has been removed
    Did you remove the references in the iPhoto preferences?  Did this eliminate the problem?  If so then you are done and your problem has been
    N resolved.

    When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes.  It also cancels/deletes that run/workout.  This has happened several times.  How can I keep this from happening?

    If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
    Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

  • How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

    How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

    You don't have to keep your photos in iPhoto to sync to your iPod according to Apple's website which states you can sync from folders in other locations:
    "Syncing Photos from a Mac
    To sync photos from iPhoto or a folder on your Mac:
    1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
    2. Select your iPod in the DEVICES section of the iTunes Source list.
    3. In the main iTunes browser window, select the Photos tab.
    4. Select the checkbox labeled "Sync photos from" and then choose either iPhoto, Aperture, Choose Folder, or Pictures, from the menu.
    * If you choose iPhoto, select "All photos and albums" to copy all of your photos in iPhoto, or "Selected albums only" and select individual rolls or albums you want to include.
    * If you choose Choose Folder, navigate to and select the folder of photos you want, then click Choose. Select "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
    * If you choose Pictures, choose "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
    5. If you want iTunes to also include the full-resolution versions of your photos, select the "Include full-resolution photos" checkbox. To access full-size photo files, be sure to enable your iPod for disk use.)
    6. Once you have decided which photos you'd like to sync, click Apply."
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I keep my RAW photo files from converting to JPEG???

    How can I keep my RAW photo files from converting to JPEG???

    Hello briggiebunny
    If iTunes can read the movie files, then you will need to create an iPad version by going to the drop down menu File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version and then syncing that newly created file.

  • How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
    Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
    Thanks for the reply!

  • How can I keep the formatting when converting from Word to pages?

    How can I keep the formatting when converting from Word to pages?

    Use only formatting that is supported (in the same manner) in both applications. You'll need to find which that is through trial and error. Beyond those formatting options, you'll need to do some corrections, as Fruhulda suggests.

  • How can I stop the iWeb welcome movie from appearing

    How can I stop the iWeb welcome movie from appearing every time iWeb starts up?
    Oh yes and now that we are talking: when I plug in my ipod, I want iTunes to start, not iPhoto.
    Who knows these tricks?

    iPhoto seems to be viewing the iPod as a camera.  Therefore go to iPhoto's General preference pane and select No application in the Connecting camera opens: menu.

  • Since upgrading to FF v4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FF windows open, how can I keep this from happening?

    Since I started using FireFox version 4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FireFox windows open up. This is annoying as it often covers up instances I am currently using with instances that I don't wish to use right now. I can't seem to find a way to keep this behavior from occurring.

    Try go to '''about:config''' search for '''browser.startup.homepage''' change its value to:
    '''about:home''' - default page<br>
    '''about:blank''' - blank page<br>
    '''url''' - a page that you want

  • How can I keep this from automatically starting up??

    I just installed this and it starts up automatically and i would rather it not, because it also does not shut down when i am trying to close my computer.  how do i do this????  thankis

    Finally sorted the same problem on both my pcs. If you are a member of Facebook, then the problem likely is because of that.What I did to spot Spotify automatically starting up. 1. Log into Facebook, and then into Account.2. Go to Account Settings (on Facebook).3. From there go to Apps (on left side of screen).4. Find Spotify in the list of Apps that shows up and press the "x" button to the right of "Edit".5. Log out of Facebook.6. Log out of your PC.7. Restart the PC.8. Spotify will still appear asking you to log in with Facebook or Spotify password.9. Log in to Spotify with your Facebook password.10. On Spotify - go to Edit (top left of Spotify screen).11. Scroll down to Preferences.12. Scroll ALL the way down to the bottom, and IF it says Log on Automatically, click the "Don't Open Automatically".13. Log out of Spotify.14. Log out of your PC.15. When you switch your pc on again - the problem hopefully, as in my case, was resolved. I have had this problem with other things starting automatically in the past, and it has always been because it is an "App" appearing in my Facebook list. Do the things listed above in that order and hopefully it will work. Hope this helps. Good luck.Steve. 

  • How can I save finished and shared movies from old iMovieHD-projects

    Hi there, I have a big problem:
    I have found some old iMovieHD 6 Projects. (.iMovieProject) that already have been finished years ago.
    Now I would like to save the finished movies outside the projects but I can't find a way to do this although I've been searching in the www for hours.
    When I go to the folder 'shared movies' I find a small .mov file - it's only some KB big.
    I can start this and the movie plays with no problem im QuickTime Player 7, the quality ist quite ok - original films were .DV from a camcorder.
    When I use iDVD I can take this movie without problems and burn it as DVD or .img on my hard disk.
    In this .img I can find the folder VIDEO-TS where I can find the movie al .VOB. But the Quality is really awful.
    How can I save the finished movie right out of the folder 'shared movies' in the best quality, maybe as .mov or other ?
    I can't install iMovieHD 6.0.3 because my old iLive install-DVD was sold with my old macbook years ago and I don't know if it would work  anyway on Mavericks 10.9.5
    Now I have iMovie 10 and 11. Importing the old projects would not solve the problem because only the original clips were imported, not the project itself.
    Would be QuickTime Pro a solution ? There are items like 'save as' or 'export' but I don't know if it works with this kind of files...

    Save the clips as Quicktime files (full quality), then you can import them into later versions of iMovie. An iMovie 6 project would not be compatible with recent versions of iMovie.

  • How can I keep my corporate security department from wiping my devices with a service like good technology?

    I want to run corporate stuff on my ios devices. Right now they use Good Technology. They may be adding microsoft OWA and Lync apps. They tell me they could wipe my device with Good (not that they would do that without my approval). I am not sure what their capabilities could be with Microsoft stuff. Can I keep them from doing this? Or is that controlled by the app and if I want their version of the app I have to say ok to the wipe? I don't think they want to go around wiping ios devices. I am more worried about random screw ups (Oops, we didn't mean to do that!) on their part. Where can I go to understand the security model for ios better?
    Thanks.

    If your company requires that you register your iPad with their MDM system or they use Microsoft Exhange for their email and calendaring system, then they can enforce the ability to wipe your device and there's no way you can prevent it other than to not participate and forgo whatever benefits using their systems might bring.

  • Why does iCal insist on formatting a phone number as a hyperlink? How can I prevent this, and prevent iCal from launching FaceTime in response to entering the phone number in the event box?

    I just want to enter a phone number into an event in iCal. I do not want to launch FaceTime. How can I just put a phone number in an iCal event, without OSX 10.10 insisting on launching FaceTime in response to entering the phone number? I use a Macbook Pro.

    Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS7, it has basically become a brick.  It constantly freezes, and the home button becomes completely inoperable.  People have suggested a number of fixes for the home button problem ("calibrating", tightening screws, etc.) but none of the fixes solved the problem.  Through trial and error, I've come to realize that the problem is that the phone doesn't have enough computing power and that too much of its RAM gets used up by background processes, causing the phone to freeze.
    I have found an app that stops unnecessary background processes currently running, frees up RAM, and lets the phone function properly (Free RAM 1.3). Once I've run this app, the phone functions perfectly.
    However, this clean up only happens each time the app is launched (ie: it does not continuously free up RAM).  So, I constantly have to run it (and sometimes am not able to because the phone is frozen and the home button won't work).
    When it is running, the app  displays the background processes that are running.  Looking at the list, there are many processes for which I have no need, such as processes related to automatic checking for app updates, processes related to iCloud (which I do not use), etc.  Preventing these processes from running in the first place would go a long way in making my phone more useable (being able to return to a previous iOS would be a better option, but Apple won't allow this).
    Here is my question:  is there a way to prevent unnecessary background processes from running at all?
    Which app is this?

  • How can I keep my ipad3 screen brightness from fading while I am reading?

    I notice that as I am reading on iPad 3 the screen brightness fades every couple of minutes. Is there a way I can keep this from happening?

    Go to Settings > Brightness Wallpaper
    If you Auto turned on, turn it off.  With it off, your screen should maintain the brightness level you set it to, without variation.
