How can I permanently "reset toolbars to default settings" when viewing pdfs in Firefox?

Just upgraded to version 8.0.1. My job includes a fair amount of searching and printing from PDFs that have been published on the web. The standard toolbar at the top of the PDF is gone. I hit Alt-F8 to get it back ("Restore toolbar to default settings?"). Sometimes the toolbar comes back, sometimes it doesn't. If it does come back, the available buttons don't reflect how I customized it last time, and the next time I open a PDF the toolbar is gone again. I need this fixed !!ASAP!! or I have to go back to another browser because I don't have time in the day for this. Please don't make me use IE!!!

How can I see tracks that are in playlists when viewing My Music?

I have hundreds of audio tracks in iTunes. My Music shows more files than I have in all my playlists. Is there a way I can view which tracks are in a playlist when viewing My Music without having to right click each one? It would take hours. All I want to know is which tracks I have yet to include in a playlist.
Nothing showing in "Show Duplicates".
We really need a view option in My Music to see whether tracks are in a playlist or not.

You can make a smart playlist showing tracks that are not in any playlist.
You have to make a playist showing all the tracks that are in an existing playlist.
Then you make a second playlist showing all the tracks that are not in the first playlist.
You can make the first playlist with the rule:
Playlist is 'one of my playlsits'
repeated for every play list you have.
This is only feasible for a few playlists.
If you have a lot you can create a playlist folder: File>>New playlist folder.
Then you drag all your playlists into the folder.
Now you make a smart playlist with the rule:
Playlist is not 'the playlist folder'
This new playlist should have all tracks not already in a playlist.
After you have finished, you can get playlists out of the folder by dragging them to the left. It might not be a bad idea to make sure you understand how to do this before dragging everything into the folder.

How can i make 'hide toolbar' the default in finder

Want to get rid of the Finder toolbar aka "Hide Toolbar" as the norm. If it is a matter of turning the feature off completely and never seeing the side bar stuff and all the buttons, so be it.
In short instead of this:
I would like this
for every window I open without having to manually turn the tool bars off each and every time a new (vs old) window is opened.
Incidentally "FooCmd" is a project I am going to build that does this in some way. I should not have to write code... it should be something simple to make the windows in the finder more streamlined (isn't that the new way of Jony Appleseed?)

Found a brute force way of this which walks a tight rope.
First,close all of your Finder windows. Then delete all the hidden files named ".DS_Store" on every hard disk (volume) you have. Then open a finder window on each disk, hide the toolbar with Command-Shift-T, then close the Finder window. After this, your default view for that disk becomes that last view you saw. You have to do this for each disk which is kind of a pain but better than the "open folder, press command-shift-T" for every bloody folder.
To do this via Terminal...
1) Close all Finder windows (hold option key, close one of them)
2) use SpotLight to find "Terminal" and launch Terminal
3) type
cd
and a space in the terminal window after the ">" prompt appears
4) drag and drop a hard disk into the Terminal window after the "cd ". This puts the "path" name in there...
5) press return. This sets the default folder location for Terminal (default directory) to the hard disk
6) run this command (copy and paste it into terminal, press return after pasting)
sudo find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete
7) when prompted, enter your administrator account password (yes, you need to be admin, sorry)
This will take a long time if you have a big disk, lots of folders, etc. The square 1970's terminal cursor will sit there and blink under the "P" in the word "Password" for quite a while. (shades of the original "Tron" movie). There may be a couple of errors spit out by this command line tool, don't worry it continues on riding it's little light cycle through your hard disk wacking only the ".DS_Store" files as it goes. The program named "find" will be eating quite a bit of processor if you are into checking on that sort of thing with Activity Monitor or another Terminal window with "top".
At the end you will have your display looking something like this (without all the red ink):
You need to repeat for each disk you have. Be aware that if you set the view to the "show toolbar" and then open a new folder below, that button junk-loaded window view default starts to take root again and spreads. (technically it's not a virus but it sure acts like one).

How can I restore my toolbar. Nothing happens when I press ALT or f10

My toolbar disappeared last night. The instructions on the website aren't helping to restore it. I am very close to switching to another browser

You may have accidentally entered '''''Full Screen''''' mode (no toolbars, no tab bar). The F11 key will turn '''''Full Screen''''' mode on or off

How can I change the region/country in settings when i have a subscription iTunes match?

Hi,
I already have a subscription in my iTunes Store (México), but I need to change the region/country because my company has sent to me to Dominican Republic for a new position in my job. My problem is that I have too a subscription for the iTunes Match service, and when I try to change my region/country in the settings page I cannot complete the process. It appears a message like this "In order to make the change of region first you must cancel the sucripción to the service"
What can I do?, thank you very much.

How can I permanently save my customized toolbars and navigation button settings? When I run Norton Utilities CleanUp, Firefox gets reset to 'factory'.

I like to clean things out on a regular basis but when I run the Norton Clean-up utility all of my custom toolbar and navigation button settings get reset to 'factory' condition. How can I permanently save these changes to my config or preference settings?

Cookies, Completed Forms, .tmp files are all that's set to be cleared. If I can identify the appropriate elements I can protect them from deletion. Does anyone know?

How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?

Hi. My subject says it all. How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?
At first I thought I had a virus or something because when I typed only weird symbols came out. Then I reset the computer. Then I couldn't even log in. I tried Time Machine etc.
Then I realized that the "fn" key wasn't working right. It seems to be working backwards. It acts like it's being pushed when it's not, and when I do push it it acts like it's not being used.
So it's kind of a simple problem but it's really annoying.
Is there a way I can just disable it permanently? Even physical force if necessary. I tried to break it but it wouldn't break. I don't really use the key anyway so it doesn't really matter. I don't want to pay a bunch of money to replace a key I don't even use.
Thanks. I hope someone knows.

That's the best answer. Yeah usually if you press "fn" or "option" you can get it to work for awhile.
Yeah I have considered some kind of external keyboard also. It will make a laptop less laptopish. But it could do the job for awhile.
It's sad because I don't even care about the "fn" or "option" keys.
But anyway it's not catastrophic at least.
And yeah maybe we can get a new computer later or something. I like mine though. It's customized and is how I like it right now.
Anyway thanks for the reply.

How can I permanently prevent the Reminder Fox icon (in the Add-on Bar) and the Add-on Bar from showing?

Installed: Firefox 27. ReminderFox 2.1.4. Windows XP Professional
Since ReminderFox 2.1.4 was installed, I have deselected the 'Status/Add-on Bar Display 'Bow' and text on status bar' numerous times, but the setting never takes effect even after pressing the Apply and OK buttons.
The Add-on Bar, which has always been deselected from the View > Toolbars menu, shows as selected in the menu, and even though I deselect it manually, when I close Firefox and then reopen it, it shows again as selected in the menu.

How to disable extensions, Personas, and plugins
Disabling an add-on will turn it off without removing it:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions or Appearance or Plugins panel.
Select the add-on you wish to disable.
Click the Disable button.
Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
To re-enable the add-on, find it in the list of Add-ons and click Enable, then restart Firefox.

Actually, I think that's how you are supposed to do it. The default is usually welcome, but I'm pretty sure there's a jazn-data.xml file that contains the password encrypted. You can manually edit it there, then restart it and it should work.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

How can i delete a toolbar that has been added?

Somehow I have a toolbar for a shop at home site that has been added to my list of toolbars. It takes over my browser when I'm surfing and takes me to places i have not selected. How can i delete this toolbar? I believe I have the latest version of firefox and i am running windows 7

This sounds like spamware you might have installed by accident. If you go into Add-Ons (Firefox -> Add-Ons) it should be under 'Extensions'. Click the 'Remove' button and that should get rid of it.
You might also find it under 'Programs and Features' in Control Panel. Remove it if it's there.

Mac OS X 10.9.1 will not read or write my WD external hard drive. How can I permanently make it so that it can without losing files on drive?

I have a Macbook pro 10.9.1 that will not communicate with my WD external hard drive. Whenever I connect the drive, this pops up:
NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk1s1
at /Volumes/Elements because the following problem occurred:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libfuse.2.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g
Reason: image not found
I have important photos and videos on here of my family and can't lose them. I tried downloading multiple third party applications like Tuxera and NFTS 3G but they're only trials. How can I permanently set up my mac to read and write without risking to lose all my stuff on the external hard drive. Thanks in advance for any support.

babowa, it seems like it is using Fuse & NTFS, so I don't think it's the classic WD + 10.9 mess, but extra WD tools & drivers can still break things MtTran.
MrTran, if you must use unsupported disk formats on your Mac you must also consider actually paying the developers that made the trial software.
It's probably a good idea to follow the developers removal instructions, reboot & then install one tool at a time.
MacFuse, FuseOSX, NTFS-3G are all likley to confict if you run older versions so you need to be sure you are using the latest version. I can't remeber which one depends on the other, so you will need to read the manuals.
When the disk is readable copy the data to another disk. You could probably do this from a Linux distro or Windows if OS X won't do it.
If you insist on only using the trial versions you will need to reinstall Mac OS, copy data off this disk & reformat it.
Is there any good reason for not using the Mac HFS extended format?
