How can I quickly and easily delete persistent cookies? Is there something special about them?

Yes, I realize you delete cookies by going to Preferences/Privacy/Details if you don't want to mass-delete all of them (which you usually don't want to do). But it seems cookies from some sites take 3, 4, sometimes 5 select/deletes to finally get rid of them.
Is there something unusual about some cookies that makes them so difficult to get rid of? Is there anything you can do about it, other than multiple deletions?

Yes, some cookies appear to be more persistent than others.  Then again, there are different types of cookies, basic, flash, databases.  Some require a different approach.
Take a look at this app.  I have used it for some time.

  • How can I quickly and easily make Firefox on my newest computer the same as all my others (add-ons, extensions, etc.) without individually adding each one?

    I have several computers throughout my house and work, but mainly use my "Desktop-MAIN. " I frequently add different add-ons, scripts, extensions, etc. as the need for one arises. When the time comes that I am using my laptop in bed, or my sons computer in the den (whatever) I find that they are missing many of the cute doodads I have become accustomed to on MY desktop computer. In Firefox I used FEBE backup, which would backup EVERYTHING, including extensions, add-ons, etc. I just had to take it to my other computers and run FEBE, import the backup file and "whala!" My browser had all of the add-ons and things that my main computer had - w/o having to manually add each one.

    Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).

  • How can I find and save deleted messages on my Mac?

    i am searching for ddeleted messages on my Mac and I can't find them.  If they are attainable, how do I save them?

    Hi,
    Presuming the Post is about the Messages app and iMessages.
    If you delete them they are gone or the Mac.
    An iMessages arrives  and is displayed in the App.
    there is a setting in the Preferences > General section about Saving on Close.
    The iMessages are also stored in the chat.db items (unless deleted) and this provides the "history" when you reconnect to a contact who is not currently on display in the main window.
    In Mavericks Saved Chats and the chat.db items (there are three in total) are held in different places.
    The app does not work like Mail where the emails can be left on the Server and "read" by other devices.
    The iMessages are pushed to the devices that then accepts them.
    After that the "sync" function ends (What you do with the iMessages on one device is not seen or changed on another)

  • How can I find and permanently delete an address card?

    Bought a new MacBook for my wife. Our server informed her that it could not send an email out with this address <tomjones-comcast.net>. Obviously a error. She corrected it but because she was unfamiliar with the process, she created a new address card as well. Now, however, when she addresses an email, the old one still shows up in scroll. She deleted the card but the old address still showed up.
    I used the find command under the File menu with the old email address and discovered where it was located: Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/MetaData
    where it was identified: 11C34DF1-16DA….etc etc.
    I found it in MetaData and dragged it to trash. (later I emptied the trash)
    It still shows up, however, but neither Spotlight or Find can locate it.
    How I can find it and delete it?

    Since the address was incorrect, the email was never sent. The name doesn't appear in the recipient file.
    Since I entered my question at the group, my wife lost all - mail program and alll addresses. I've rebuilt it all with the correct address this time and all is well.
    Thank you.
    By the way I found all the addresses in the Trash in 5 "recovered" folders. Quite neat.

  • How can I find and retrieve deleted mail?

    I made a big mistake yesterday---I renamed a mailbox folder containing multiple sub-folders of all my online and business account emails from two different servers. Then I deleted the old one, but it took all the sub-folders with it! I figured it was in the trash, but it's not. (I haven't emptied it.) I read Ernie's emails and turned Mail off, and went to library, but my pop mailboxes there were empty. I used a Smart mailbox function and went to each server, said include trash, and got two lists of hundreds of old emails. If I can download those again, I could rebuild my files. But how?
    I spent a long time online today with a Roadrunner technician, and I can SEE my mail on the server, sitting in my inbox, but I don't know how to download it again to my computer and mail program, and neither does she. If I try to open this mail from my Smart mailbox list on my computer, it insists I cannot open without downloading. Similar situation on AOL.
    Is there a chance that the emails the Smart mailbox is indexing are somewhere lost on my own computer?
    Thanks for whatever help you can provide!

    You’re welcome.
    First of all, messages deleted as a result of deleting the mailbox that contained them don't go anywhere, not even to the Trash. Rather, they are permanently removed from the filesystem.
    If the messages are from a POP account configured to leave mail on the server for some time and they are still on the server, you can tell Mail to download them again as described in my first post.
    If the messages are not on the server and you don’t have a backup, you may try to salvage as many deleted .emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted .emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.
    AOL automatically purges your mail from the server after some time, which causes the messages to disappear from Mail as well the next time Mail synchronizes with the server. There is nothing you can do about it other than moving/copying your messages somewhere else to avoid losing them and maybe specify a greater number of days somewhere in AOL’s (not Mail) settings. You can create custom local “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail, for example, and move/copy your mail there manually or set up rules to do it automatically.
    Also, AOL doesn’t let IMAP mail clients such as Mail to create or manage mailboxes at the root level of the account directory on the server, only as subfolders of Saved, which means you should turn OFF Store messages on the server for all the mailboxes in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors, so that Mail stores those mailboxes locally on your computer instead.
    Interestingly enough, none of these AOL idiosyncrasies would a problem if AOL accounts could be set up as POP instead of IMAP...

  • How do I quickly and easily

    I imported my word .doc file into robohelp to start the
    project.
    When I went to the HTML files to start the changes, I found
    that the converter had given me a perfect copy of my word
    formatting including putting margins in inches and "no page break
    instructions in my tables.
    The css file is about eight pages long!!!
    To make things worse: not all of the formatting is in the
    style sheet. Every table has cell padding and every list item is a
    paragraph with a list having a class tagged with my Word
    formatting.
    I am looking for any tips or tricks to make this cleanup
    easier, either before I convert it from word or after.
    I would be interested both in people's individual techniques
    as well at any site with tutorials or lists of techniques.
    Thanks,
    Marjorie

    Marjorie, for what it's worth, I have experienced the same
    thing trying to import a complex document into RH. So I kind of
    reverse-engineered the process. For documents in Word that I want
    to put into RH, I just design a style/CSS sheet in Robo and then
    cut/paste the material into RH. It's not as "easy" of a method as
    importing in that it does take a little longer and you do have to
    reconstruct tables. However, I end up with much much cleaner HTML
    and a better output.
    For what it's worth, documents that are really complex (with
    an complicated .dot style sheet, TOCs with more than one or two
    levels/corresponding headings, and things like text boxes or frames
    and captions) really do not import well directly into RH. A lot of
    my Word docs are highly structured and the structures themselves do
    not necessarily go straight into a clean CSS/HTML. I've had much
    better luck directly importing simpler Word docs (uses only level
    headings 1 and 2, perhaps a couple of tables, no complex TOC, no
    captions, textboxes, or frames).

  • Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies.  I've tried to reset safari but the problem persists.  How can make safari Never accept cookies.

    I'm having a problem with cookies on Safari.
    Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies.  I've tried to Reseting Safari several time but the problem persists.  This is occurring under two different user logins one of whom is an administrator the other a standard user.  How can I get safari to Never accept cookies?  This is a recent problem because in the past it used to work properly. Any idea what might be going on here?

    Hi David:
    I did read (yesterday in another thread) about a similar problem.  I cannot test it myself as I accept cookies (from sites I visit) and do not want to delete all of mine for a test.
    I do not know whether it meets your requirements, but you could turn on private browsing.  I use that (or Microsoft's variant on IE) when I use public computers.

  • I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

    I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

  • How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

    How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
    Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

    leave it as is make it a grayscale tiff import int Illustrator and color it it in Illustrator like this
    Or trace over it with the brush tool aand then give it a color ground.
    Or do the original over and do a cleaner job with no tone or a minimum of tone. Then Live trace.
