How do I PERMANENTLY PREVENT ff 28 changing to 29 against my will

This has been asked by many people here. NO usable fix was offered to anyone! I respectfully DEMAND a straightforward accurate and complete fix to this issue. I will NOT use FF29 under any circumstances. I WANT 28 to open every time! I do NOT want 28 to be changed to 29 EVER! "NEVER CHECK FOR UPDATES" IS checked. I do not care about the supposed security risks. I have been using FF since version 2 with no issues. That says a lot about your product. There must be a permanent fix for it. I NEED AND WANT IT! [email protected]

The overall version 29 interface is simply not to my liking. As it is not to many users liking either. As long as I could prevent 28 from changing to 29 or future versions I may not like I will stick to it. Since my first email, I saw ONE UPDATE AVAILABLE pop up. It appeared for a few seconds. 28 remained. Maybe this issue fixed itself. Only time will tell. If this issue returns I will try PALE MOON. Not that I have anything against updates as a concept but it should always be a choice and the update should be confined to the issue(s) at hand instead of making major changes that make the update totally different disappointing your users. Or worse making them angry.

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 can I permanently clip video without changing filmstrip order?

I have just recently upgraded from LR1.4 to 4.2 (Windows 7 OS) and one of the features I am most excited about is being able to work with video in LR. I started clipping videos but I know LR is non-destructive. This is great for my photography but with videos I am trying to actually make the files smaller by saving only the footage that I want. So I exported to the original folder and figured I could then just delete the original unclipped file and be all set. Only problem is the exported file now appears at the end of my filmstrip since it is dated today. If I stack it it goes with the original file, but since I was planning on deleting the original file that wont help me. This is different from the way photos behave (though I'm not exporting generally there, I'm editing a copy in photoshop, and that keeps the capture time metadata and thus stays in its appropriate spot in the filmstrip). I tried copying metadata from the original file or even manually changing capture time but nothing seems to be effective. Please help!

I use a much, much older iMovie so I don't know exactly how the new one works, but until somebody else replies... It may be re-encoding the whole .mp4 since some formats cannot be edited without doing that, and you would need to check something like format and quality settings to prevent it from saving to a much higher quality which won't actually make the quality any better than the original anyway.

Everytime I save a Favorite it goes into the Recently Bookmarked folder which is not what I want. How can I permanently prevent this from happening?

If I copy/paste a link from Recently Bookmarked into Unsorted Bookmarks and then delete the link from Recently Bookmarked the link is then also deleted from Unsorted Bookmarks. WTF!! I have tried numerous way to get a Favorite into Unsorted Bookmarks or one of my other folders to no avail. It always goes into Recently Bookmarked. What's the point of the Recently Bookmarked folder if I then can't organize my Favorites the way way I want them. At this point I hate Recently Bookmarked and want to permanently banish it or I'm just going back to Windows Explorer. At least Explorer's bookmarking system works. BTW, I run Windows 7 Home Premium.

The Status Bar is not likely to return. You can install the following add-on to get some of the former Status Bar functions back. The Add-on Bar must be turned on. The add-on will also stop the showing of the "tooltip" type status loading text and the link hover, and will, instead, show it in the Add-on Bar:
*Status-4-Evar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
*After install and restart:
**Open Customze window (Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout '''''OR''''' View > Toolbars > Customize '''''OR''''' ALT+V+T+C '''''OR'''''right-click in the empty space at the end of the Tab Bar and choose Customize)
**'''While Customize window is open''', drag "Status Text", "Progress Meter", and "Download Status" from the Customize window to the Add-on Bar in the order and position you want them to appear. Then click "Done" button at lower right on the Customize window.

How do I permanently prevent Yosemite installing on my Mac?

I accidentally clicked on Install All in the App Store when I did not mean to update from Snow Leopard to Yosemite.
I immediately hit Pause to stop it getting any further but am concerned it may continue the installation when I restart, which I absolutely do not want!
Is there a method to uncheck the Install option in the App Store?
I am running Yosemite from an external hard drive but do not want it on my internal hard drive.

If you let the Yosemite installer finish downloading, it will automatically start, HOWEVER, it will put up dialog boxes that give you a chance to Quit the installation.
You can then keep the installation in your Applications folder for a future use.
NOTE: I ALWAYS download the Major releases and Quit soon after they are released (Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, and Yosemite). Apple has a tendency to remove the previous version one they make a major new release. If I have my own copy, I can decide to upgrade to any intermediate version and not be forced to go to the latest. And since I already download each release, they are all listed in my App Store Purchases and are available for re-download. If you do not download a copy, and at a later date you decide you want to upgrade to that copy and not the latest and greatest, you will be out of luck, as you will not have a local copy and your purchase history will not list the release for re-download.
My advice is to download and Quit. Copy the Installer from the Applications folder to a safe place and be happy in the knowledge you have options in the future that you would have lost otherwise.
The bottom line is that you will not be forced to complete the installation. You will have an opportunity to quit before the installation really gets going.
If the suggestions from Eric Root and sean.wells work, then just file this bit of trivia away for future reference.
This is very good advice. You will not be forced to install Yosemite, since you can just Quit rather than click on the "Continue" button that you see when the installer lunches. But having a copy of the installer stored for future use is a good idea. If you are chronically short of disk space, consider backing up to an external drive.

How can I permanently change color of junk mail listing to black?

How can I permanently change color of my junk mail listings? It is light brown and difficult to read.

I'm trying to do the same...no problem choosing the color, but when I used an advanced rule, I no longer have the option in a drop down menu to "erase junk mail". Seems like any combination of an advanced junk mail rule wipes out the option to erase junk mail, and I don't want mail to automatically delete my junk email. I tried outting a stop evaluating after the text color, but that didn't work.

How can I permanently delete tracking cookies?

I was alarmed to read the series in the series in the Wall Street Journal ( www.wsj.com/wtk ) about flash cookies, trackers, and beacons. I had always set my preferences (in Firefox) to not accept cookies, changing that only when I came to a site that required cookies (like Facebook), but then choosing the option to not accept 3rd-party cookies, changing my preferences after the visit, and deleting cookies.
I installed the add-ons suggested by the WSJ and on this website (Adblock Plus, Better Privacy, Ghostery, PrivacyChoice TrackerWater, and Taco. There is nothing in my Library>Preferences>Macromedia file. I visited the Adobe website and followed their instructions to delete flash cookies. Yet I cannot get rid of the cookies!
I tried this experiment: when not connected to the internet, with cookies turned off, I deleted all cookies, closed Firefox, and lo and behold, 150 cookies (yes, I counted them) had re-created themselves!
How can I get rid of them permanently? Please don't give me any pablum about them being harmless, they help to streamline the ads being shown to me, etc. etc. I don't care about that. This is MY computer and I do not want anyone installing anything on it! It irks me that deleting cookies deletes the useful cookies -- cookies that I would chose to keep -- but keeps all these other ones.
Please, if anyone knows, how can I permanently delete these cookies?

Get the Add-on NoScript for Firefox.
http://noscript.net/
In addition, I always empty all cookies after a browsing session or at the end of the day. The worst is I have to log back in to some sites. You can't permanently eliminate the possibility of picking up a tracking cookie, but you can get rid of them if you pick one up. NoScript minimizes the chances of getting one, since you only allow the minimum scripts for a site to function. I suggest you start at the NS site and read about it. There's also a support forum which needs no registration. I won't have a lot of time today to explain much more.
Here what you do to completely eliminate Flash cookies. This works.
+"Delete your ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder so you're starting from a clean, shared-object-free, slate.+
+Next, in your web browser visit http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_man ager07.html and under the Global Privacy Settings, click the button labeled "always deny" then "confirm" to prevent Flash from watching you through your webcam or listening to you over the computer's microphone. Technically speaking this isn't necessary, but it seems like a prudent move if you don't like the idea of web sites accessing these resources. Don't bother changing anything else in the Settings Manager because the other stuff pretty much involves what and how much can get saved on your computer, and we're going to answer those questions entirely different means.+
+Now navigate in the Finder back to your ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder and and recursively lock every file and folder inside it.

+That's it!+
+The cool thing about this is that Flash is convinced it can store this crap so everything works, but nothing is actually remembered by Flash. Or at least nothing is remembered between browser sessions. Flash apparently never tells sites attempting to store stuff that, even though storing is enabled, it doesn't actually work and nothing gets stored."+

HT1349 How do I permanently delete crap that my kids have downloaded onto my itunes?

How do I permanently delete crap that my kids have downloaded onto my itunes? It's synced with my phone now too. I just want to listen to the albums I've purchased and the cds I've downloaded. Help. Please.

When you delete one or more of your purchases from your library you should get an option to Hide purchases from iTunes in the Cloud. Selecting this option should prevent the items from appearing as cloud links or in the purchased section of the iTunes Store, however should you later change your mind you can visit your account and use the Manage hidden purchases link to restore them.

How can I permanently delete subfolders in email Trash?

I have been getting duplicate email messages in one of my email folders for several weeks. I think it started when I upgraded to OS X 10.6.6. I have RoadRunner as a mail server and have not had this problem before on either my iMac or a previous PC. I read many many support messages regarding duplicate email messages from this board and tried many of the hopeful fixes but none of them worked on a permanent basis.
I do not have any other electronic machines that hold or try to access my email. I did, however just order a new laptop and would really like to get the duplication problem fixed before I receive the new computer.
I have 2 email addresses on one server (RoadRunner). They each have their own folder in Mail Inbox, one is labeled Personal and the other is labeled Business. I can send and receive email from my Personal address but I can only RECEIVE mail from my Business address. I receive the duplicate messages in my Business Inbox folder.
I have deleted messages only to see them reappear the next time I open the folder. Some of the 'fixes' I tried caused me to have 3 or 4 duplications. I noticed that all the instances of a message and its duplications would go to the Trash folder when I used the delete feature. My Trash Folder also has 2 subfolders, one for Personal and one for Business. I noticed that when I try to drag a deleted message from the Trash/Business folder it would not allow itself to be placed back in the Inbox/Business folder. But when I dragged the deleted message from the main Trash Folder to the Inbox/Business folder it would allow itself to be deposited. So, I deleted the subfolders under the Trash Folder and all seemed to be great. No more duplicated. But - the subfolders keep reappearing when I reopen mail. I have deleted the subfolders each time, but they won't stay deleted. How do I permanently delete the Trash subfolders?

You are seeing an intentional but strange feature of GMail... nothing is ever deleted, and instead remains forever in All Mail. You probably want to just hide All Mail from Mail, so that you don't have to see it and don't have all those messages syncing back to your Mac. See Hiding GMail’s “All Mail” from Apple Mail. There has been one change on GMail since I wrote that, though... you no longer have to go to Labs and turn on Advanced IMAP.

I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

it all depends on what's running in the macbook air that causes it to heat up.
open activity monitor - change my processes to all processes - and on the %CPU, click it twice and see what running using 10% and above in the %CPU section.
highlight anything that are using high CPU percentage and hit quit process. see if that brings the temperature back down to normal.
screenshot below is my activity monitor - have a look at it - nothing over 10% on the %CPU section.

How can I permanently save my Illustrator CS6 preferences?

Each time I open Illustrator, I have to open preferences and go through changing everything back to the way I like it and it's getting really old. How can I permanently save these settings? I've read this article: (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-630ca .html) but I think it's for older versions because I couldn't find the Adobe Illustrator Preferences file, and even if I did I wouldn't know what to do with it. I'm on Mac OSX.7. I previously used CS4 and it saved my preferences the first time permanently. Help!

Can you check the permission on the following folder :-
<startup drive>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/
Make sure you have the read and write permission on the "Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings" folder with all the enclosed items.
