How do I enable file auto-locking in 10.9?

Back in Lion, files would lock after a short time, so they were read-only. I actually prefer that behavior, but Mavericks does not do that by default. What are the magic steps to bring this back? Thanks in advance.

As far as I know it was removed with Mountain Lion and later as it became a nuisance for most. I suppose you can do a Google search for what you want.

how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

How do I enable file downloads without requiring helper applications?

Firefox is now requiring helper applications for "apt" downloads. I don't want that. I just want to download files and install by hand. How do I regain always having the option to simply download any file, of any type?

What is an APT file?
Are you getting the Open/Save/Cancel dialog, or the Save/Cancel dialog, or is Firefox attempting to open the file directly?
Firefox generally associates programs or plugins with content types instead of file extensions. This information may be gleaned from your operating system or from plugins. This information is stored in a file named mimeTypes.rdf and is maintained automatically, so it's risky (and might be fruitless) to edit the file by hand...

How to make .torrent files auto save ?

Whenever I download a .torrent file I am unable to check "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" like in this picture. I want a sloution for this, please.

That is because you have choosen downloads to be saved automatically, You can change that from
Firefox Menu > Preferences > General (tab) > Downloads
change the check box from "save Files to (Downloads) " to Always ask me where to save files.

Bluetooth and Auto-Lock

I have an interesting problem... Blue tooth Audio gets real "choppy" when Auto-lock enables and when I wake up the Ipad the distortion goes away. I am using Sennheiser 400's for my headset but I suspect it is something in how the Ipod goes into Auto-lock mode. The same issue does not occur for a wired connection. Any ideas other than click on never for Auto-Lock?

No promises but a system Reset cures many ills and takes but a minute to perform:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A Reset does NOT delete apps, photos, movies, music or any other data. A Reset does NOT delete any settings for email, network access, etc.
Also, you might wish to download the 4.2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 170.

Cannot enable file sharing

Hello,
I recently bought my ipad and since i want to use it for taking notes in class i bought the pages app from itunes. File sharing should be available for pages right? But i cannot enable file sharing in my ipad, there's no file sharing tab in the general settings. I have the latest 4.2.1 operating system and 10.1.2 version of itunes. How do i enable file sharing in my case? Or are there models of iPad that intentionally do not have the file sharing ability? Please help.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
File sharing is performed when you connect the iPad to iTunes. The following support article explains how you do this.

TS1717 unes, i have windows 8, i get the message, "the itunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. how did this happen, how do i fix this?

the message"The itun, library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file". i have windows 8. how why did this happen? how do i correct this and prevent another occurance? I am able to access itunes on my i5, ipad, and my old i4 that i use solely as my ipod now. At the time problem occurred, i was connected to ext hard drive that hold over 190GB music, to add to my library. I am now unable to add to my library using my laptop. any advise/help is greatly appreciated!!

I just had the same problem and was able to fix it after trying a couple of things I found after a search.
The solution that worked for me:
Find iTunes folder - it should be in C:\Program FIles (x86) or similar depending on your operating system
Right click the entire folder (no need to open it) and click properties
Click the security tab
Click edit and highlight the user name under which you logged in.
Click the box next to full in the allow column, which should check everything
Click apply
Open iTunes
This worked for me.

How To Fix: "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."

I can't reopen my iTunes after I have to force quit when it does not respond. I get this message:
"The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
I've read to do the solutions. I right clicked on both the iTunes and Music folder and went to info for each. On both the lock at the bottom of the Get Info was locked. All of my users including admin can read and write all files within those folders. They are even a shared folder. I clicked on the lock to unlock it, typed in my admin password, and went to the gear to apply to all files inside. After doing that I keep getting the saved message.
I tried another way that I've found online to move my ituneslibrary folder to the desktop and then open my iTunes. In theory the iTunes is supposed to ask for where the iTunes library is. Once that is prompted you quit iTunes and drag the iTunes Library folder back to the folder from the desktop and reopen iTunes to apprently solve the problem. However, when I move the iTunes Library file to the desktop and try to reopne iTunes the icon just keeps bouncing and when I right click the application does not respond.
This problem is only resolved if I restart/shut down my macbook pro which is a 15-inch Core 2 Duo with intel. It will be 5 years old in December. I currently have Lion and the latest iTunes 10.5. This problem started in late December.

If you hold down the option key when starting iTunes, it will allow you to select a library or create a new one.
You can create a new one, and then add all of your iTunes music back in by simply dragging the old iTunes music file onto iTunes.
There are more detailed instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451#
It will show you how to re-build your iTunes database file.

I am working in windows 7 and I am trying to enable the copy/paste and I can not find user.j file in the profile and I am not real sure how to create a file, I can create a folder .

I am trying to copy text from a word document and paste it into my web builder and it says that firefox does not support copy/paste from clipboard. Went to your site and it tells me to open the user.j file in my profile. This file does not exist and I am not real sure how to create that file so I can paste the fix from your site into it.

I went to that link and added to firefox add on but it still does not work. I went to the add on option button for this but it told me that my MYSIWG widget was disabled. Does this have something to do with it not working and if so how do you enable it.

What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
Use Go, Connect to server.
Type in the IP address if static.. eg
AFP://10.0.1.1
Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
Type in
AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

Hope this helps...

Windows 7 uses .wav (wave) files for the sound events. The default folder that Windows 7 uses to store the sound files in is located at C:\Windows\Media.
You cannot use a MP3 file but there are lots of (WAV to MP3 converters) available on internet which can help you to convert MP3 to wav serving your purpose of changing system sound.
