How Does One Stop Telemarketer Calls?

I would like to know how to stop telemarketers from calling. I am and have been on the National Do Not Call List and have an unlisted number, yet we have been getting calls all throughout the day and night. I thought the government stated no one is allowed to call someone on the Do Not Call List or they could be fined, yet the calls are recorded with garble or music, so how can anyone do anything? If you call Verizon, they state they are allowed to call between the hours of 9-5 or something like that, but I am on the Do Not Call List, so they are not allowed to be calling, yet they do. I file the complaints with the National Do Not Call site, but I don't know what else to do. I even asked the Ellen DeGeneres & Anderson Cooper show to try and help. How can these places be fined when they can't even be stopped?
Can this be linked to unlimited phone access where these telemarketers are calling and then somehow connecting to your number to make free calls or something else??? Otherwise what is the purpose of them calling and only having music or garble play?
For instance (without listing their numbers), on 2-21-13, the same number called me at 3:31, 3:42, 3:53, 4:05, 4:33, 5:05, 8:45 and 8:47 at night and that is just the ones I marked down for that day - there could have been more.
Then today, one number called at 10:45 and 11:04, and then another one called at 11:51, then another called at 12:15, then another called at 12:19 & 12:53 and then again at 5:35 pm, and then another called at 2:45 and 3:01, and then yet another one alled at 3:38 pm...and the last one SO FAR was the one at 5:35 pm. I could have missed marking some down too, so there could possibly be more.
This is crazy and shouldn't be allowed since I thought the National Do Not Call List was made for this reason to protect this from happening to us. Is it just Verizon or maybe unlimited access customers or what???
Any suggestions??? Thanks.

How does one stop Firefox from opening at login ?

I have Firefox opening up at login even though the 'open at login is unchecked'. I had firefox 'open at login'checked for a week. Now I do not want firefox to 'open at login'.
I have unchecked 'open at login' and I still get Firefox opening up at login. How can I stop the firefox box opening after login. Any suggestions?

Thankyou. I looked it up in the "help" menu and tried what was suggested there and it worked. I have also followed your direction - System Preferences>accounts>login items and deleted the firefox entry. Cheers

Once and for all, how does one stop losing music on IPOD TOUCH? WHAT settings do you people use to stop losing music? Does anybody have any help with this? Does any body have any help at all? APPLE offers no help!!!!!!!!!

I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!! I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need help to stop this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, is the music only disappearing from your iPod, or from your iTunes Library as well?
From your other thread, I gather you swap between Manually Managing and Syncing. This is a bad idea, it will lead to confusion on your part about what should be on the iPod. You'll make a choice that iTunes later overrides - because you've told it to. Choose one method or the other, not both.
Peresonally, I recommend using the iTunes Sync process. Using Sync will not prevent you from deciding what's on your iPod. You will still have a free and full choice in that. The Sync process will however, make it far easier for you to put everything back onto your iPod in the event that you need to Restore your iPod, or when you replace this iPod with a newer one.
Back to your issue though. Is the music, missing from your iPod, still in your Library?

How does one stop Safari for Windows from auto resetting itself?

Safari for Windows running on XP Pro SP2 on a Dell Latitude D520
gets its settings reset automatically somehow. Also, the saved
userids/passwords randomly get "lost". These behaviors occur whether the
system is left running (with Safari terminated) then Safari is
started or when the the system is put in sleep mode (with Safari
terminated) and Safari is started after waking the system or when
the system is put into hibernate state (with Safari terminated) and then
Safari is started when the system is woken from hibernation. The
resetting and lost UIDs/PWDs is a random occurrence; it may, or may
not, occur after any one of the three use cases described above.
This behavior is becoming very annoying and will cause me to dump
Safari for Windows as my patience wears thin.
Any known solutions or suggestions will be greatly, and gratefully, appreciated.

URG & IMP: How does one stop the Thread.currentThread?

hi,
I want to stop the current thread.
Presently teh code used Thread.currentThread.stop()
However stop() has been deprecated
Thread.currentThread.interrupt() doesnot seem to help.
If I try Thread.currentThread.isAlive() post tehinterrupt, it doesnot work as desired and teh thread is still active...
Any pointers????
We have alreday tried using the boolean volatile varible to stop the thread as recommended by sun and since this is the currentThread, it cannot be assigned to null.
Thanks
Priya

hi,
I want to stop the current thread.
Presently teh code used Thread.currentThread.stop()Whyever would a thread want to deliver a stop() to itself.
Did you mean that you wanted to stop() a different thread?
As indicated in the (depreaction) documentation for stop(), using interrupt()
is a better idea. However, that requires you to have a protocol
where the receiver of the interrupt then reacts in an appropriate
manner, i.e. interrupt() can be the basis for cooperative
thread termination; it can't merely replace a stop() call
in an existing application without any other changes.

to just do a Throw() out of the current method, with (or
without )a corresponding Catch() in some outer context)
so that the you can unwind in case of an exceptional
condition and have the thread exit?

How does one stop Firefox asking to update password on secondary signin pages?

Many websites use both a user name/password and a 'secret question' for sign in. The second part usually involves entering the answer to a randomised question, like 'mother's maiden name'; 'place of birth' etc.
Whenever this happens, Firefox asks if I want to update the password it stores. Obviously I don't because it will be changing my actual password, and the answer will be different the next time anyway. This happens on every sign in and there's no way I can see to tell Firefox not to; the only options are to update or 'not now'
I still want Firefox to remember the main user name and actual password, so how do I prevent it from asking about these pseudo passwords without disabling its recording of the main login details?

Thank you, philipp, that did the trick. I'm not sure that should be the preferred way of handling the problem though! Surely Firefox is clever enough to make some distinctions.....
Ah well. Had better spend a little time blocking all my affected sites.
Thanks again.

How does one stop cancelled sites from reappearing

When I started using Firefox it asked me whether sites should be saved. Now it retains both open and sites I have cancelled.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

I am having the same issue too. It looks like many more people are having it as well. I called Apple Support a few times, but they use their standard naiive response: "we have never heard about this issue".
It is an issue of DHCP implementation on the Apple OS. My windows PCs and Printer are not having these issues..

HT1918 How does one organise the apple ID so that one uses the same email address to have an account on both the UL and Belgian itunes stores?

I have in the past created an Apple ID for use with the UK itunes store, because I want to read in English. If I sign in it seems that this ID will only allow me to purchase from the UK store. But I live in Belgium, so I can't download from the UK store. So I tried to create an apple ID for the Belgian itunes store. But I want to use the same email address as I used for the first apple ID I made (because I'm fed up of having to remember which email address I used for which account). When I tried this, I just get a message saying that the email address is already in use for another account (which I know, because it's me who made that account). Does anyone have a workaround for this?
cheers
Andrew

I have tried again using the same password. and it still doesn't work.
I'm presuming you went ahead and set up a new Apple ID, yes? Using the same password in more than one Apple ID has worked for me in the past, but I haven't tried it in a while so the tightened security may have changed that. You could use the same password but add "-UK" and "-BE", or something like that, to make it easier to remember.
I understand what you mean about losing the ability to deal with UK purchased stuff, but this is becoming so inconvenient that I do want to delete that UK apple ID account. I have looked everywhere I can think of on the apple website (apple id, itunes, support etc) and I can't find a link/eplanation/contact point that deals with deleting apple ID and itune store accounts. Surely this must be possible?
It's possible, but Apple is very reluctant to do it, and it's not something a user can do on their own. It would be better to just stop using the UK account rather than trying to get it deleted. Just remove your payment information and there should be little reason to have the account deleted. If you really want to try, though, you'll need to send a message to iTunes support specifying that you want the account cancelled.
On a completely different matter, I have bought my son an ipod touch. But since he is younger than 13 years old, how does one go about using the itunes store to get music onto his ipod touch?
You would need to buy tracks for him; he's too young to have his own iTunes Store account. To control what gets synched to his iPod, this should help:

How does one get huey pro to start up when computer starts in morning

Huey Pro is a sensor that measures and monitors the light in the room so that colors are rendered as acccurately as possible. Once I calibrated the screen and device, it should fire up when I restart the computer but it dos not. the icon in the system folder when clicked, says that the system preference folder needs to restart, the it will fire up.
So How does one get this to start early.
Robert

Hi Robert
I am not sure that you can make the Huey Pro work correctly.Worked fine on windows but it was the one programme for me that I have never had success with on the Mac.
I have checked the Huey web site for info but the support seems to have stopped.
So the only way I can do it is to wait until the Icon is in the top right section of the screen,note that a white cross is in it and then click on the Icon in the dock open up the programme until the Start bit occurs then just click the close button.That fixes it for me.

IN pages how does one remove an unwanted template?

Hello world! First time here!
Question #1 How does one delete unwanted templates in the "My Template" section of Pages?
Question #2 How does one, using Lion, retrieve Appleworks 6 database files?
Thanks
VAGrandad

Brilliant thank you, only on mine it is called alt as I have only just discovered, and lo, as you say, Save As actually appears!
Apple isn't so obstinate after all - but why do they make it so difficult to find their simple solution? I even bought a book about switching (O'Reilly's) and nothing is mentioned about any of this.
I am very grateful to you all, now I have two options!

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages w/ Messaging 3.X?

How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages with Messaging 3.X?

In an ISP environment there are times that a user changes his
login name (his unique identifier in the ISP's network, also used as
his email address) from one value to another. It is very convenient
for the ISP to be able to move messages from the user's old mailbox
to the user's new mailbox when this situation occurs.

With Messaging Server 2.0, this was easily accomplished by simply
moving the mail messages on disk. However, with the added complexity
of Messaging 3.0 where there are back links, reference counts, etc.,
associated with mail messages, moving files on disk from one mailbox
to another is no longer valid.

The MoveUser utility, which is new in MS 3.X, moves messages from
one messaging server to another or from one maildrop path to another.
Can this utility be used to move messages from one mailbox to another?

The answer is yes, it can. The user should be aware that if
duplicate email message id's exist in the mailbox before the
move, the messages related to the duplicate message id's will
be duplicated in the target mailbox.

See the online documentation contained with the product or the
Messaging 3.X Administrator's Guide for exact syntax.

Hi
If I understand you correctly and if you are using Apple Mail version 2.0 or above navigate to /Users/Home folder. The Home folder is the one with the house icon, within that folder you will see a Library folder, within that folder you’ll see a Mail folder, within that folder you’ll see a folder that begins with POP followed by your name, within that folder will be a folder called INBOX.mbox, within that folder is a Messages folder. All the mail that you see within the application are there. They will be numbered and have a file suffix of .emlx. You can move these wherever you like.
If you are using Entourage X, or Entourage 2004 you can easily multiple select mail messages, addresses etc from within the application and drag whatever you’ve selected to wherever you like.
