How do I disable SSLv3 in Safari (OSX & iOS)

Hi All,
So following this morning's Google announcement on the SSLv3 vulnerability, I tried disabling it on the client side on my various systems and browser. On OSX, I managed to do it for Firefox and Chrome but not for Safari. On iOS I didn't manage at all.
Any clue on how it can be done?
FWIW:
- Disabling SSLv3 in Firefox:
  Open about:config, find security.tls.version.min and set the value to 1. Then restart your browser to drop any open SSL connections.
- Disabling SSLv3 in Chrome:
  Launch Chrome using an AppleScript that contains the following
  do shell script "open -a /Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app --args --ssl-version-min=tls1"
- Checking client-side vulnerability:
   https://www.poodletest.com/
- Checking server-side vulnerability:
   http://www.poodlebleed.com
Cheers,
Alex

Apple posted the following updates that include a fix for the SSLv3 "Poodle" issue:
Yosemite 10.10
Security Update 2014-005 Mavericks
Security Update 2014-005 Mountain Lion
as well as updates for all currently supported Servers (4.0, 3.2.2, 2.2.5)
All of them contain the following:
Secure Transport
Impact:  An attacker may be able to decrypt data protected by SSL
Description:  There are known attacks on the confidentiality of SSL
3.0 when a cipher suite uses a block cipher in CBC mode. An attacker
could force the use of SSL 3.0, even when the server would support a
better TLS version, by blocking TLS 1.0 and higher connection
attempts. This issue was addressed by disabling CBC cipher suites
when TLS connection attempts fail.
CVE-ID
CVE-2014-3566 : Bodo Moeller, Thai Duong, and Krzysztof Kotowicz of
Google Security Team
It would appear that your browsers will show "maybe vulnerable" on the poodletest site, so my guess is that OS X will prevent all apps from using SSLv3 even if they would otherwise be capable of doing so.  This will protect other apps, such as e-mail clients that are also normally able to use SSLv3.

  • How do you disable the Notification Center in iOS 8?

    How do you disable the Notification Center in iOS 8?  It seems the update has killed this ability.

    Are you in the "today" or "notifications" part of notification center?
    Settings--notifications works for the notifications part but doesn't control the today part of notification center. For that you have to drag down notification center, tap on today, and choose edit from the bottom. From there you can turn off widgets, activate new ones, and change the display order.

  • How do I disable a Mac Safari Extension?

    Everytime I look at anything, including my OWN website of items for sale, I can't see the copy under the photo because the darn box of comparable items (which are NOT so comparable) hides all of my text and prices. I have tried everything and can't find a way to even find that ext. much less disable it. HELP! The extension says, "See More" in an orange box and then produces this bar of pictures and prices of items from other online shops. SO ANNOYING.     I need to remove this or at least have the X in the box work when i don't want this!!!  Thanks!

    You've looked in Safari - Preferences - Extensions ?
    It's also possible that you have 'downlite' (vSearch) adware installed.

    or
    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

  • How do you disable auto delete in OSX 10.8?

    Since I have upgraded to OSX 10.8 (currently running 10.8.2) I've noticed that when I delete a file it always asks for my password before sending the document to the trash AND as soon as I type my password the file is permanently deleted. 
    How do I change the trash setting so that once I select to move something to the trash it will sit there until I manually empty the trash?
    Thanks in advance!

    Choose your Home folder "Get Info" (command-i) and be sure you have "read & write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. Check under "General" section to be sure it isn't locked. If that is correct, launch Applications/Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt copy & paste this command…
    mkdir ~/.Trash
    If you get a message that the folder already exists, copy & paste these commands...
    sudo chown $UID ~/ .Trash
    Press return.
    Enter your admin password (it will be invisible)
    Press return.Then enter
    chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
    Press return. Log out and back in, or restart.

  • How do I disable or change Safari's default "upload" folder?

    Here's the deal:
    Whenever on my brand new iMac I go to, for example, upload a photo in Tumblr or add an attachment in gmail, the box that opens in Safari always opens in the "documents" folder. This is a change for me from the older version of Safari I have on my 3 yr old ibook.
    It used to be that the box would open up onto whichever folder I had previously selected from. This new "feature" is annoying when I want to upload, e.g., multiple photos in Tumblr (this website will not allow you to select multiple photos at once, but requires you to select "upload photo" for EACH photo), since I have to click on Upload Photo, then Media>Photos>iPhoto>specific iPhoto folder, THEN select the photo I want every time, rather than just Upload Photo>photo I want.
    Is this just a new "feature" of Safari, or is there a way to work around it? I've searched the web and looked through Safari preferences multiple times. I also downloaded firefox and found that the same thing happens there.
    What's particularly strange is that when I go to upload additional photos, the box briefly shows the contents of the previous folder (in this case, a folder in iphoto from media>photos), but quicker than I can select anything, it reverts "back" to the documents folder.
    Is the only answer to move items INTO the docs folder before uploading multiple items one at a time?

    what a quick response! If I can figure it out, I'll post it here...I have stuff on etsy and have to pick one photo at a time:  www.blackburnarts.etsy.com
    good luck!

  • How can I disable the Camera Feature on iOS 5.0.1 or 5.1

    I personally DO NOT want this feature accessible for anyone without my pass code seeing how I have had a iPhone stolen b4 I DO NOT want any features like iPod or Camera to be usable to anyone so I for one would like it removed or made an option to disable. Your programmers may be thinking oh this is nice feature to make it easier on people HOWEVER this encourages thieves to steal the phone for bare minimum features seeing as being able to utilize controls of the camera and iPod makes the phone still usable and I seriously don't feel like having this big flaw on a phone I paid $650.00 for I want the security of knowing it is completely useless to anyone but me. so if there is a way to disable it I would like to know or would like to see this implemented in a future update which I hope allows this option.

  • How do I disable iCloud on iPhone5 running IOS 7?

    How do I stop iCloud from running on my iPhone5 after upgrading to IOS7?
    Roughly 24 hours after upgrading to IOS7, my iPhone incessantly started popping up an iCloud login window.
    Canceling out of iCloud window, resuled in a new iCloud login window popping up.
    The iCloud popup window would not give me enough time to do anything on my iPhone.  Including turning off Airplane mode, so entering my iCloud password would actually do some good.  Took three tries after getting iPhone connected, as if iPhone was sending garbage for password.
    Never had this problem before, never got a request from iCloud for login; until I made mistake of upgrading to IOS7.
    I don't use iCloud for anything, and don't want too.

  • How Do You Disable Genius Data Syncing to iOS Devices?

    - I''m using iTunes 10.7, iPad 2 and iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3, mid-2010 iMac with 10.8.2.
    - I have iTunes Match tuned OFF
    - I back up to the computer, not iCloud
    - On the iTunes Summary tab, I have the "Sync only with checked songs and videos" selected
    - On the Music tab I have the main Genius Mixes checkbox unchecked, and no mixes under that item checked
    - I have Genius turned ON in my main iTunes
    Every time I Sync either the iPhone or the iPad, the last thing it does is sync Genius data to the iOS device. Since my main iTunes library is fairlt large (over 12,000 songs), my main library Genius data changes a lot of songs sometime a few thousand if I haven't started iTunes on for a while on the computer. The Genius data sync takes a long time, and sometimes can add 10 minutes or more to an iOS device sync.
    I don't understand why it's even sending Genius data to the iPad or iPhone. There are are no Genius playlists on either the iPAd or the iPhone when I open iTunes on them and look at Playlists.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    I have this question too.  Is there an answer to this?  I don't use the Genius function and this "syncing Genius data" step takes many additional minutes on every sync.  Any information or advice would be gratefully accepted.  Thank you!

  • HT5312 how do you disable cookies

    How do you disable cookies in Safari?

    On Safari's Preferences (command-comma) on the Privacy tab you can set 'Block cookies' to 'Always'. Doing so may affect how some sites behave e.g. you may not be able to stay logged in to websites if you set it to 'always', 'block from third parties and advertisers' may be better.
