  • Login screen does not ask for password when logging into user account

    This is an issue that did not immediately manifest itself after I have upgraded to Snow Leopard. I am not sure what exactly triggered it.
    Anyway, now at the login screen if I choose to login with my own user account, i.e. clicking on the icon associated to my user account, I am not prompted for the password and the system seems to start trying to login, as there is a discernible pause. Obviously that will fail, and I am returned to the login screen again.
    If I choose the other user option, as before I will be allowed to manually type in an user id and password, and using this way I am able to login into my own account (previously I only use this for logging in to the root account).
    Any idea on how I can make the field for typing in the password appear again? Thanks.

    Just to report that deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist did not help.
    Anyway I installed Snow Leopard again and the problem went away. Hope I will not do something that will trigger it again.

  • How do I disable this feature? As you're opening a new tab or typing in the Awesome Bar, Firefox will check to see if you already have that site open. If you do, you'll be directed to the existing tab so you don't open a duplicate.

    When I am in my classroom where I am teaching, I sometimes open a duplicate tab so I can go back and forth while I am grading. This gives me the assignment and grade book open at the same time. This is much faster than opening and closing the two screens as I have to do when I can't open a duplicate site.
    If I cannot disable this feature, can I undo this upgrade and return to the previous version? Thanks for your help.

    When you enter a site in the URL/Location/Address bar and see "Switch to tab" in the drop-down, you can
    *use ALT+Enter to open the new (duplicate) tab anyway
    *use CTRL+left-click on the original tab and drag it until you see an up arrow from below the break point between two tabs, then release the left-click key, then release the CTRL key to get a duplicate of the tab with all of its history (Back/Forward)
    *press the Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to Tab" and see the URL.
    *Use the cursor Right key to select an item marked as Switch to Tab in the drop down list and copy the URL to the location bar.
    *Open the URL in the current tab by using Shift + Enter on the highlighted entry.
    You can install this Add-on to completely disable "switch to tab": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more/

  • Since updating Firefox as suggested, when I 'save as' a jpeg, it automatically finds the folder and it's always the wrong folder. How can I disable this feature and go back to the original mode where it remains in the folder I choose until I change it?

    For example, I saved a jpeg named 'picasso the guitarist'. I have folders titled A to Z. When I click 'save as' it might open the 'K' folder and I have to manually search the 'P' folder for 'Picasso' and save file. The most irritating thing is, when I 'save as' another jpeg of say 'pieter mother & child' it goes to another folder and does not remain in the 'P' folder, rather it goes to the 'X' folder or some other. This didn't happen before the last upgrade. Can I disable this new 'help' feature that is taking more time than the old version?

    Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

    Firefox 11 will have a workaround by providing a pref (browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite) to disable this feature.

  • I have a new MacBook Pro. I am using firefox, but my homepage is set to google. Firefox constantly keeps opening new tabs to its own homepage by itself. How can I disable this feature?

    I have a new MacBook Pro. I am using firefox version 7.0.1, but my homepage is set to google. Firefox constantly keeps opening new tabs to its own homepage by itself. How can I disable this feature.

    Hi [email protected]
    If you have set Google to be your homepage, that should be the first one to appear. Are you seeing the Firefox home page when you open new tabs? New tabs should be blank by default. The only reason I've seen Firefox open new tabs with Firefox data on it is after an upgrade of the product.

  • How can it be done?

    I have heard about people compile java apps into native machine code, but how can it be done? I have heard that the javac compiler, and netbeans is also written in Java, but as I can see they are Win32 EXEs, as well as native for other platforms, is that true? I know that Java should be cross-platform and write once run everywhere, well I also want to be able to compile it into native machine code as an alternative. I have trying to send a little Java program to some my friends today, which involves the NIO Api that only avaiable in 1.4,. Only two of the top geeks with broadband have 1.4, most of dialups have 1.3 and have Class Not Find Exception, and 2 computer illeterate where I know they have Java installed, but there are no ways to find out what version of Java they are using. The 14 meg JRE is a plain for most 56ks, they are also looking at multiple web sites as well and 14 meg is ALOT.

    All major applicaions will need a native installer. JAR files are fine for deploying small apps to people who have the latest JRE installed, but if you want to gaurantee your program will run on all machines, you have to make a native installer which includes the JRE in its directory structure. The netbeans ide .exe is probably just a small c++ program which invokes the javaw command. There are several free programs about which will give you this. I always use this:
    http://www.rolemaker.dk/nonRoleMaker/javalauncher/marner_java_launcher.htm
    There are instructions on the site for bundling the JRE(note java isn't actually installed, you just copy the c:\program files\java\j2re1.4.2.xxx and access the javaw command via a relative path). Your app will then work on any machine and most users will no even know that it's written in java, but your app install or zip file will be a minimum of 14MB. As far as I know there isn't a really good way to reduce the size. There are commercial programs out there which convert java to native code:
    www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html
    However, if you read the FAQ on the site, it states that you will probably still need to bundle the full JRE with your app as it may require various DLLs found within it. If you want your program to work, you users will just have to put up with a big download whether the JRE is bundled with your app or they install it seperately.

  • I would like to know it it's possible to change the scroll bar from the right part of the firefox browser, to the left part and, if it's possible, how can it be done. Thank you!

    The scroll bar (the one used to scroll up and down any kind of website), that is normally in the right part of the firefox browser, would be of much help to me if it could sometimes be moved to the left part of the browser. Is this possible? How can it be done? Can anybody tell me the exact steps to take in order to do this (if it is possible of course)? This would be helpfull to me, since I think that the firefox scroll bar is overlaping the scroll part of the facebook chat sidebar, since I just can see a few people on this facebook chat sidebar and I can´t scroll along it, as I could a while ago. So my guess is that the firefox scroll bar is covering the other. In order to solve it in a simpler way, I guessed that if the firefox scroll bar could be moved to the left side of the browser, this problem could be solved. So, can anybody help me?

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.scrollbar.side
    Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
    filter for '''layout.scrollbar.side'''
    Right-click the Preference and Modify it to '''3'''
    You may need to reload any pages open to have scrollbar move to left after Preference change.

    I bought a scanner Fujitsu (model sv600) in which is delivered a CD of installation of Acrobat 11 for Windows. The problem is that I possess an iMac. How can it be done?

    This page ScanSnap SV600 : Fujitsu Global shows that Acrobat is for Windows, not for Mac. There is no trade-up option so far as I know. Indeed, Acrobat Standard does not exist for Mac at all, only Acrobat Pro. Which you could buy.
    Or, you can invest in Parallels Desktop which will allow you to run Windows apps on your Mac.

  • HT4847 My sons iPhone is under my apple id. He completed a software update earlier and now receives my text messages I send and receive- how do I disable this feature??

    My sons iPhone is under my apple id. He completed a software update earlier and now receives my text messages I send and receive- how do I disable this feature??

    This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage.  You can continue to share the same ID for pruchasing from the iTunes & App stores, but you should be using a different ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so you are both using a different ID for iMessage); or
    On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".  Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.

  • After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:

    any help would make me happy. As it stands now from looking on the web it can't be deleted but making sure before i return this ipod touch. I wan't a clean item the way I wan't it and not how they want it. Like I do not need Itunes and App Store on this ipod because I use my computer only to shop, So many things i like out of the ipod and I am sure lots more people also would like a cleaner ipod/phone or what ever.
    from looking at what I never use I see a total of 14 app's I not want taking up space and my screen.
    yup with the 5.0 came another stupid icon i not like. ( Newsstand )

    yes i moved them into a folder, but I not want them at all on my screen. Guess I return this and pick up a
    Zune HD

    Yeah, this seems to be something to do with Google, not your iPhone. A search on that error found this page:
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web%20Search/thread?tid=56a3c4b71b3dc1d9&h l=en
    which shows people using lots of browsers on different platforms suffering from it. No definitive solutions though.
