How do I prevent web sites from identifying me?

Various web sites seem to know who I am and where I'm from. Amazon evens emails me with suggestions based on my searches. I need to improve my privacy.

There are so many levels of 'privacy', its hard to say where to begin.
Amazon probably emails you because at some point you made a purchase there and opted in to receive emails from them. If you use a search toolbar or plugin of some type offered by Amazon, this is where they'd get the information about what you've been searching for aside from what you've done on Amazon itself.
As for websites knowing something about where you live, this is based on your IP address. This is something you simply can not hide if you wish to access websites on the internet. Its a bit like being able to figure out where you live based on your phone number.
You can do things like being cautious about how you use your email and what you allow websites to do with your information when you order from them, and you can delete cookies which help websites track you, but don't expect you can ever be perfectly anonymous and unidentifiable on the internet.

How can I prevent web pages from automatically reloading, such as The Druge Report, etc.

Several web sites I frequent automatically reload their front page whenever they want to...not when I manually refresh...interrupting streaming videos, etc. I do not want these pages to do this, only I want the ability to manually refresh a web page.

Yes, many sites need JavaScript to be enabled to work properly.<br /><br />
This site will most likely not work and in the Knowledge Base you see the content for all Firefox versions and platforms.<br />
So you shouldn't disable JavaScript globally, but you can do that selectively on a specific tab or based on websites.

You can block and allow scripts selectively for websites with an extension like NoScript or YesScript.

(DPS) How can I prevent web content from playing before it's in view?

Hello
At the moment, I have some CSS3 animation, but it plays before the page is even in view. If I turn autoplay off, it means I have to tap it once the page is up.
Is there a way to tell InDesign to only play content once the page is open, but automatically? Can I call it on an event some how?
Thanks

Moved to DPS.
Please post any further DPS questions here.
Set the delay on the animation to .125 seconds.

If you mean from the Safari menubar item "Popular"
Choose "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmark menu in the main menubar, or click the icon for that in Safari's menubar -
The page that opens should show a list of Bookmarks. In the Left column, click the item under Collections named Bookmarks Bar.
In the new view, locate the folder named Popular and click the reveal triagle to the left of its name - it will open and reveal all the items listed in Popular.
Find the one you want to remove, click it once to select it, then press the Delete key on the keyboard.

Moving Published web sites from old mac to new mac

I published a web site using iweb on my previous computer and would like to be able to make updates to it using my new mac. How do I transfer the sites from my old mac to my new mac?

Simply copy and paste the file. iWeb by default uses the following file:
/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites
If viewing thru the Finder, you won't see the extension. Also, it is not imperative that you keep the file in that location. Move it to where you want, then double-click it to launch iWeb. It will then know where you are keeping it and automatically open that file in that location when you launch iWeb the next time.

How do I remove a site from a domain?

I have two domains from GoDaddy.com that I forwarded to my .Mac site. How do I remove the site from one of the domains while keeping it on the other domain? And how, incidentally, can I use the second domain for another site.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Frank

Just log into the GoDaddy web forwarding section and cancel the forwarding for the site that you don't want linked.
If you want to link it to a new site, publish that site when it is ready and set up web forwarding to that particular site at GoDaddy. So you would forward to web.me.com/username/sitename.

I'm using "window.open()" to show one Calendar in a popup window. I can see that the popup is re-sizable. How can I prevent the user from re-sizing the popup?

I'm using "window.open()" to show one Calendar in a popup window. I can see that the popup is re-sizable. How can I prevent the user from re-sizing the popup? I have tried "resizable=yes|no|1|0" and that seems to be not working.

You can't prevent users from resizing a pop-up.

This sounds like you are using Photoshop Elements, and the Photoshop Elements forum would be best at answering that.

How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

How do I prevent iTunes 11 from syncing apps with my devices?

I want to be able to sync music to my iPad and iPod but I do not want to store their apps on my computer. Since iCloud remembers which apps I own, this is (in my mind) unnecessary. How do I prevent iTunes 11 from syncing my apps? This did not use to be a problem because in iTuens 10 it was an option. Now it seems that it isn't.

Cate Kurtis wrote:
Well, in fact the application stopped opening automatically for no reason that is clear to me. For about 5 days after I updated the software it opened automatically when I plugged in or unplugged my phone. Then it suddenly stopped. All I did between the last automatic open and the time that it ceased was, in the options window, uncheck the "manually manage music and videos" option and then check it again without clicking "apply" and also checking "sync only checked songs and videos" and unchecking again without clicking apply.
I can't really recall now, but I thought that I played around with those settings and no matter what, I never saw the Option for Automatically Sync when Connected in iTunes.
I can think of no reason why this would halt the automatic opening but it has definitely stopped. Yet I still don't have the option listed in the options window to "prevent itunes from opening automatically when device is connected."
This is all very strange to me but I can think of nothing to pursue it further.
I can't think of any reason why it would trigger that behavior and of the other 170+ views that this discussion has received, I suppose that nobody else had anything to offer either.
I can't think of anything else to pursue it further either and as long as it is working the way that you want it to work now, I can't think of any need to pursue it further.

How to call a Web Api from from a Visual webpart code behind?

Hi,
I am trying to create a visual web part in sharepoint 2013 with data received from another Web API.
I followed the below steps.
1. Created a Visual Web part.
2. In the code behind(.cs) file I wrote the following code.
async private void GetResult()
            using (var client = new HttpClient())
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8080/");
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
                var response = await client.GetAsync("api/Tfs/OpenEnquiriesCount");
                var content = response.Content;
3. When I run the application, I get security exception in the line await
client.GetAsync()

How to call a web Service from Oracle Applications?

Hi friends,
I've posted this question on OA Framework forum , but may be it's more appropiated put it here. Sorry for do it again:
It's about how to call a web service from a Form or a .sql (via Request) in Oracle Applications:
Could you please explain here the detailed steps (with code example if it's possible) to invoke a webservice from Oracle Applications?.. how did yo do it...?
I've read differents posts here and the 33097.1 metalink note (by the way, the first recommended link in this note is broken...), but there are lots of theorical concepts and no real examples to see how/from where invoke the WS
I'll have to call one webservice (I suppose the customer will give me the interface implementation)...but I've never did it with Applications so that's why I ask you for all the detailed steps...
I work with Forms 6i, Apps 11.5.10.2 and DB 9.2.0.7.
Thanks a lot.
Jose.

Hello Jose,
I did using java program to call BPEL web services in 11.5.10.
I pasted below the metalink note for your reference (Note:250964.1)
The idea is first write a java program to call the webservice (in my case it is calling an BPEL web service, so this may not help directly), test it.
Then port the java program as specified in the note, so that you could call your web service through concurrent manager scheduler.
Is this ok?
Thanks
Arun.

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.
