How do you keep Firefox Sync connected?

Firefox Sync says, "Be sure to leave Firefox Sync connected so your data will automatically sync every day," but there are no instructions on how to stay connected.
There is no explanation as to how you would become "unconnected" so I don't know what I should do to avoid that. Would someone explain this to me?
Thank you.

I have set up Sync. Perhaps the wording on the page that appears after you set it up was not carefully thought out when it was written. The phrase "leave Firefox Sync connected" implies that it can become unconnected. If that is possible, what do I do to prevent that from happening?

How can you keep the wifi connected after logoff

I have a brand new MBP with 10.8.4. I would like to login to my AD account but because the wireless is disconnected, I get the red light and the "Network accounts are unavailable". The machine binded to AD just fine....
Thanks for any help.

I have no idea how to keep it connected, but you should have no problems logging back in to the network. The upside to haveing the WIFI shut down when you are logged out is that nobody can remotely connect to your system over WIFI. A wired ethernet connection remains active.
The red light is more informative that indicating you have a problem. I have the same symptoms with my work network and have no problems. The network accounts problem is for those that are setup to have no local login and require a network connection for authentication. Is this what you have?

How can you keep iphone from connecting to unknown networks and stop asking about them?

When i have WiFi on, but "ask to join" is turned off, i've found that my iphone connects to open unsecured networks on its own whenever it can. These are not networks it has previously been connected to. I want it to behave like every other WiFi device out there where i have a list of known networks that it accesses when in range and i don't want it to ask me or connect to anything else when not in range. I understand i can turn WiFi off but this is a pretty big pain to have to manually do this every time i go in and out of range of networks i want to be connected to.
It also would be nice if anyone knows of a way to edit my know networks list as a list instead of having to be in range of the network and then one by one go through every visible network to figure out which ones it considers known. Especially when it has automatically added networks without my knowledge when the ask to join was turned off.

Let me give you an example. I'm at a United lounge at O'Hare Airport right now. They have WiFi here but it requires that you log on in order to connect to the internet. I connect to WiFi from my laptop. All good. Then, immediately, my iPhone connects to the same network. But because I haven't logged on from my iPhone, I can't get online. This kills the internet on my iPhone because I'm connected to a network with no internet access. If on my iPhone I "Forget this Network" and then come back next week, I'll find that it connects to the exact same network.
I travel a lot and almost all of the networks I use on a daily basis require a login of some sort.
I could turn off WiFi but then I have to remember to turn it on when I actually do want to connect to a network, like when I'm at home.
Any idea how to prevent the mirroring of WiFi connections? Or at a minimum make sure the "Forget this Network" option actually works?

How do you keep audio tracks connected to a video track?

I mostly keep the audio and video of captured clip together, in synch. When I put a clip on the timeline, the audio tracks become disconnected from the video track. This is happening regularly and I can't get on with the edit. Every time I move a clip, the audio gets separated from the video. I think something is wrong with my setup. How can I set the project up so that the audio tracks stay with the video track until I unlock them?

I am running into another effect which I don't understand.
I select the video of a clip in the timeline. Then I shift click the stereo audio. This connects the audio and video (which I never separated in the first place). Then when I move the video+audio clip, the clip is copied, which I do not want. I must have turned on something that I don't want. Maybe this has something to do with my linking problem. Shift L did not solve the problem yet, but I need to experiment with it more.

How do you keep iPhone charged while connected to carplay

How do you keep iPhone charged in the car while it is connected to the cable for CARPLAY?

The next time you connect your iPad to your laptop, click on your iPad under Devices and then click on the Apps tab on top. Once it opens and lists all your apps in iTunes on the left (both iPad and iPhone ), simply uncheck the boxes next to the iPhone apps you wish to leave off from future syncs. They will still be in iTunes and available for your iPhone, but won't be synced to your iPad. Click on Apply.

How do you keep the same URL connection connected continuously?

I am trying to extract information from a web page, but it puts a cust_id in the middle of the URL. It generates the cust_id randomly everytime you use the site. I connect to the initial URL to find the cust_id, I substring that to the new URL and then make a new connection to extract the information, but the web page gives me an error saying that it doesn't recognise the cust_id. As if it was a new connection with the wrong cust_id.
How can I keep the first connection open and with the same cust_id information and then jump to another web page but using the initial connection. Using IE6 I can just cut and paste the second URL and get to the page, but with my java application it doesn?t work. Please have a look at my code and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

Enter a search product eg milk and that is the second page I am trying to extract.
You will notice in the middle of the url is cust_id.
Am I going about this 2 pages completely wrong?

How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app? When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

If I lost my mobile, how can I deactivate firefox sync on it... without it?

I have Firefox Sync running on my laptop, my desktop and on my smartphone too. If someone stole my phone... how can I stop Firefox Sync only on that device, from my laptop or desktop? I only know how to disable firefox sync on the device I want to disable. But if the device is not with me anymore... What should I do? If I stop using Firefox Sync on my desktop, my laptop will not sync anymore..

You'll need to change your Sync password and then reconnect things using the new password. For more detail, read here:

How do you keep your VPN clients up to date?

Hi, how do you keep your Cisco VPN clients up to date? Our users connect to a Cisco 3015 Concentrator. It needs to be as automatic as possible.
Thanks

Check this link,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/cisco_vpn_client/vpn_cli
ent46/administration/guide/vcAch3.html
Example:
Steps to perform an automatic update for VPN client :
===================================================
1. Download update-4.8.00.0440-major-K9 file on your PC from the link below and unzip it.
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/vpnclient-3des
It will have the following files::
- binary_config.ini
- sig.dat
- vpnclient-win-is-8.00.0440-k9.exe
- vpnclient-win-msi-8.00.0440-k9.exe
2. Create a webserver with a folder and move all the above files to this folder on webserver.
3. Now on your vpn client create a new profile. This profile file will appear in the profiles folder of the vpn client. Copy this file to your desktop and zip it. Name the
zipped file as profiles.zip. Delete the profile from the client.
4. Make a copy of your binary_config.ini on your desktop. Rename it to new_update_config.ini. This is just to make sure its not saved as a txt file.
Open the above file and write the following on it:
[Autoupdate]
Required=1
5. Now move the new_update_config.ini and profiles.zip to the webserver. Once we browse to the webserver it should look like --
http://webserver/~razshah/vpn_profile_update462/
Index of /~razshah/vpn_profile_update462
Name Last modified Size Description
Parent Directory 09-Mar-2005 13:24 -
binary_config.ini 09-Mar-2005 13:26 1k
new_update_config.ini 11-Mar-2005 11:35 1k
profiles.zip 09-Mar-2005 13:26 1k
sig.dat 09-Mar-2005 13:26 2k
vpnclient-win-is-4.6..> 09-Mar-2005 13:26 7.6M
vpnclient-win-msi-4...> 09-Mar-2005 13:26 10.3M
6. The concentrator is configured as follows:
Client Type is Windows
URL http://webserver/~razshah/vpn_profile_update462
Revisions 4.6
7. On your PC go to the VPN Client > updates folder. Delete the update_config file if its already there. This folder should have only autoinstall (this file will be added if update works) autoupdate header files.
The update does take about 5 mins. To see the new file we have to close and reopen the client. Once connected make sure you are able to browse to the webserver and see all the files.
1- Auto update runs only on Windows 2000 and Windows XP, all other client types update manually. Windows NT users get notified and can get an update manually from the update server.
2- Remote users must have the VPN Client for Windows 4.6 or greater installed on their PCs to use the automatic update feature.

~JG

HT4236 How do you keep photos in the same sequence on the iPhone that they are on the PC folder?

How do you keep photos in the same sequence in the iPhone as they are in the folder on the PC??

When I sync my photos they are listed alphabetically (by folder) and within the folders, listed alphabetically again by the name assigned to the photo. The only way I can think of to keep the order that you have in your computer would be to assign a letter as a prefix to each photo. If you have more than 26 photos in a folder, you can double the letters, etc. I think that will keep the photos in the order you want.

How do I keep Firefox from saving bank account data?

How do I keep Firefox from saving bank account data? I'm running Win7 64-bit. I can't seem to keep Firefox from saving bank account data.

Also, could you clarify what you mean by "saving bank account data"? Here are some places that Firefox may save data you have viewed:
''Firefox's cache:'' Generally speaking, Firefox will cache pages you have viewed so you can go Back to them unless the server instructs Firefox not to store them, or designs the page to reload and check to make sure you are still logged in.
''Session history:'' Firefox saves information about your session for purposes of redisplaying your open windows and tabs (and recently closed windows and tabs) in the event of a crash. If you want to restrict what Firefox saves, there might be some settings you can modify, but it depends on your concerns.
''Form autofill:'' If you have the form fill feature enabled, Firefox will remember data you enter into forms (usually excluding passwords). This can be turned off, or completely cleared, but there isn't a convenient way to remove just some of the data without an add-on. For example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

What privacy setting(s) is keeping Firefox Sync from working?

What privacy setting(s) is keeping Firefox Sync from working? When I use any privacy settings, Set Up Sync, I close Firefox, and I reopen the application, then I have to Set Up Sync AGAIN. I have to keep setting up Sync until I choose Remember History in the privacy settings. This used to work in all previous Firefox versions.

How do you keep yourself well organized at work?

For documentation I use onenote which is synced to my owncloud server so i can use it when ever needed. I also use a mix of wundlerlist and spiceworks to keep track of all my to do items and issues and requests. My number one recommendation is find the best way that works for you documenting and make sure to stick to it. Writing or typing it down will make sure that you retain what you did that day!

I am about to begin my first IT career in about a week (as a help desk position.)
I'm very excited about my new career shift but am bit worried at the same time.
That being said, I have a question that I want to ask all of you guys out there who has been working in the field for a quiet some time.
How do you keep yourself well organized when it comes to documenting results?
I was taught to document EVERYTHING after you solve your assigned tickets.
Are there any great tools that could come in handy when you document things?
Plus, what would be a proper way of documenting?
Would you document every single steps you've tried to solve your ticket?
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you!
