How do I prevent Google bombarding me with cookies in Safari? Do I have to remove Safari Browser? Yahoo seems better.

I am not using Google but they continue to leave cookies on my MacBook.

This has been the subject of major news media coverage for the past month at least. Even performing a Google search will leave cookies on your browser. One lawsuit filed last month was dismissed, but there have been other suits filed in the US and Europe.
Google has the resources to fight this for decades.
If you don't want Google's cookies, you must avoid Google and everything it controls including YouTube. Good luck with that.

  • How do I do a complete reset with Lion when I don't have a disc?

    How do I do a complete reset with Lion when I don't have a disc (bought OS on App store).  When using OS X Snow Leopard I get the message "not allowed".  Is Lion available on Disc? Don't really want to buy it again...  The only way I can see doing this is booting from an OS disc.

    What exactly are you trying to do? Reinstall Lion clean, IE without first loading Snow Leopard?
    Or are you trying to go back to Snow Leopard as the operating system.
    If you want to reinstall Lion your best bet is to go through the downloading process and SAVE that file and then use LionDiskMaker ( a small program) to make a Lion install USB thumb drive. Then wipe the drive and do a complete clean reinstall.
    If you want to go back to Snow Leopard you will need to boot the system from the SL DVD and again Wipe the drive and then install SL.

  • HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

    Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
    I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
    Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
    Thanks, John Lee

    Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
    Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
    So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

  • How do you prevent iPads from syncing with iTunes when managing a cart with Apple Configurator

    I am managing carts of iPads with Configurator running on a MacBook. If I open iTunes when Configurator is not open, all 30 iPads will start Syncing with iTunes. Preferences>>Devices>>Prevent Devices from Automatically Syncing is set but yet any time iTunes is opened the iPads start syncing. This does not happen if Configurator is open.

    I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
    a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923      RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.   
    d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
    I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

  • How to permanently delete Google Maps app with its data?

    I want to remove my previous logins from the Google Maps app. I tried deleting it and then re-downloading it from the app store but the app shows with the iCloud logo and when I download it to my iPhone, it still shows my previous logins. There must be some way to permanently delete it?

    There's no logout button. One can choose "Use Google Maps without a Google account" but not the logout:
    https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/2803351?hl=en
    But it still remembers my account whatever I choose.
    The reason I'm thinking that the logins are stored on the phone is because I just restored my data to a brand new iPhone and Google Maps app did not have any of my login data. It has it now only after I logged in with the wrong account (by mistake.)

  • How do I sync Google Apps mail with Mail 5.3?

    There's a post here about setting up Google Apps email through MS Exchange on Mail.app 5.2, but this doesn't work for me in 5.3.
    The email I've been using for well over a decade is from a former dial-up ISP (Worldshare.net) and I am paying $10/year to keep the address.  They've since moved mail to Google Apps.
    I'm looking to close that account, but I'd like to save some of the messages, preferably in Mail.app format.  I'm looking at no more than 200 messages and, if I could only get those into Mail.app, I can preserve them in a folder "On my Mac."
    I opened a standard gmail account, hoping to Import these Google Apps messages, from which they could be accessed in Mail 5.3, but gmail won't accept the Worldshare IMAP credentials.  I've enabled POP on both accounts, but still no luck.
    Any thoughts on how I might get this done?
    Thanks.
    PS:  I am also unable to set up this Worldshare Google Apps mail account on iOS6.

    I just reposted in the 10.7 Lion area.

  • How do I run a traceroute, ping with my Mac/Safari?

    I tried Search first, but I'm not very good at finding what I need, and I couldn't find the answer this time either. Sorry if it's already been posted. I would like to know how to run a traceroute with my PBG4. Is running a traceroute the same as doing a ping? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please keep the explanation as simple as possible, lol.

    A traceroute sends messages to every server between you and an address you specify, and is useful in determining exactly where problems with the connection exist. If you see an address for which the three numbers become large, that is likely where the problem lies. An entry consisting of only stars means that the command timed out waiting for a response; some servers do not reply to traceroute probes. Click here for more information.

  • I keep getting the message that my computer is associated with another apple id. I have already removed the device from the other apple id but I still get the message. How long does it take to update?

    I am trying to download a tv show that I purchased and I get the message that my laptop is already associated with another apple id. I knew it was my wifes id so I went into her account and removed the association. I still get this message even though there is no other apple id associated with the laptop now.

    That's not how it works. Once a device (including a computer) is associated with an Apple ID it cannot be switched for 90 days. See this Apple KB article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420.

    I would like to see what is in my iCloud?

    On the iOS device choose Settings / iCloud / you / Storage & Backup to view how much you're using.
    You can't view your backup files at iCloud.com. All you can do with a backup is restore the device from it.

  • Google wont work with firefox or safari. Also google wont work on iphone

    I am unable to connect to Google via Firefox or Safari.  Google wont even work on my iphone.  I can access other websites from my bookmarks but Google just wont work.  It says it is busy or to check my settings but as I am able to connect to other sites, I think the problem is just with Google.
    Any suggestions?
    This problem happened after I tried to make an online purchase.  I was unable to complete the purchase for some reason.  I am not sure if the problem relating to Google is connected to this or just a coincidence.

    Please post the complete, verbatim text of the error message, not a paraphrase.

  • How to I set up multiple devices with iMessage so I don't have multiple conversations?

    My family has two iTouchs and 2 iPhones. I have all 4 set up on the same apple ID so when purchases are made from the app store or iTunes then is comes from one account.  The problem I am having is texting. When the iPhones text either of the iPods it comes from the email address linked to the apple ID.  Therefore the iTouch users can't tell which phone it came from (ie mom or dad).  Sometimes however it will show up on the iTouchs from the iPhone phone numbers. Sometimes when sending a message from iPhone to iPhone it will show up as sent from the email address associated with the apple ID.  My questions is is there a way around this or do I need to set up a different apple ID for each unit? 

    Not in one boot system. The only way I can think of doing what you want is to dual-boot - ie, either partition a single drive with two volumes, one for each configuration, or, if you can, use separate physical drives. The Matrox drivers are loaded at the system level, not the user level.
    If you have a spare drive, you would just clone your system across using Carbon Copy Cloner / SuperDuper, then boot to the second system and adjust the drivers as necessary.

  • How do I prevent firefox from automatically opening the plugin checker page every time I open the browser because it is damned annoying?

    I don't like being bothered with pages I am uninterested in opening automatically. It's not a service, it's an annoyance. I want to open my home page, not pages of ANY kind that your browser wishes to open for me. Adblocker doesn't seem to work on this plugin checking page. I do not approve of your browser hijacking my system-I decide what pages get opened, not firefox.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
