I can't keep cookies "until they expire"

Firefox 6.0 My basic problem is that F'Fox won't allow me to stay logged in on my yahoo. To try to fix I followed the instructions on Firefox help. However, Help said that (on the Privacy panel) I should select (keep cookies) "until they expire." However that choice is greyed out and not available to me.

This could happen due to the stopping of important apple service which runs in background in windows and is required to be running so that the apple devices get recognized when they are connected.
Follow the procedure to fix this problem
For Windows Vista or Windows 7
Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Click the Windows Start button .
In the Start Search field type Services.
In the Programs section of the search results, click Services.
Right-click on Apple Mobile Device service and click Properties in the shortcut menu.
Set the Startup type pop-up menu to Automatic and click OK.
For XP
Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Click the Windows Start button.
Go to Start >> Run and then type Services.msc and press Enter
Right-click on Apple Mobile Device service and click Properties in the shortcut menu.
Set the Startup type pop-up menu to Automatic and click OK.
Note: If the above service is already set to automatic, you just need to right click on the service name and then select start, so that service gets started if it is suspended for any reason.

FF 18.0.1 Hotmail Contacts and Cookies: Contacts don't load with "Ask Every Time" and "Allow Cookie". Loads fine with "Keep until they expire."

Everything was working fine under Win8Pro Release Preview and FF (17?)...
Did full Win7Pro SP1 x64 install.
Installed FF 18.0.1, no add-ons; all defaults except turned on "do not track" and changed cookie handling as described:
Logging in to my Hotmail/Outlook.com account (MS upgraded me to Outlook.com in the middle of my troubleshooting) I can access my Hotmail People (Contacts) without difficulty.
I change FF Options -> Privacy -> "Keep cookies until" from "they expire" to "ask every time."
When I go to "Hotmail People", I click on "Allow" for every instance I'm asked to set or modify a cookie.
The content of the "People" page (the contacts themselves) never loads. I just get the "please wait" circling-dots.
I return to the Hotmail "Mail" page (which still works fine, except when addressing a message).
I change FF Options -> Privacy -> "Keep cookies until" from "ask every time" to "they expire."
When I go (back) to Hotmail People, the contacts load fine.
Shouldn't the two scenarios be the same? I prefer to manually handle cookie handling, so this feature is important to me.
Thanks!
PS: With the exception of addressing in Mail; Mail, Calendar and SkyDrive all seem to work fine regardless of which cookie setting is used.

Additional information: I had SSL-only enabled in Hotmail, and SSL-only is required by Outlook.com.
I've done four captures using Fiddler v2.4.2.6.
Each capture starts at the Outlook.com Inbox, then the switch to the "People" page.
1) Captured with cookies set "Until They Expire" (green)
2) Captured with cookies set "Ask Me Every Time" and "Allow" (red)
3) Same as (1)
4) Same as (2)
I don't know Fiddler or HTML well enough to troubleshoot on my own.
If someone would like this file for troubleshooting, please let me know.
Thanks.

Google blogs says that my cookies functionality is turned off, but in the privacy section it says "accept cookies from sites until they expire"--so I don't know what the problem is. is

When I go to post on a google blog and it asks me to sign in, I get a message that says that my cookies fuctionality is turned off, but when I go to firefox, to preferences and privacy, "accept cookies from sites until they expire" is checked. I don't understand why I am getting this google message which is preventing me from posting, as it seems that the cookies functionality is properly turned on.
Please advise

What's the difference between keep cookies until I close firefox and clear cookie history when firefox closes?

In the settings for Firefox 33.0 (I am using Ubuntu 14.04 but the functionality is the same for Windows 7) there are two different ways to delete cookies when firefox closes. Or at least there seems to be.
First is the keep cookies until firefox closes
Second is to check the box to clear history when firefox closes and in the settings check cookies.
What is the difference between these two options?
I usually have both setup but I was noticing that a login was not saving for td canada trust easyweb, even though I have an exception set for it. Now I unchecked to delete cookies when clearing the history on close and the login saves correctly.
This login saves 7 cookes under easyweb.td.com and 10 cookies under td.com and I have exceptions set for both. If I clear history on close and include cookies, half of the td.com cookies are gone when I close firefox and re-open. The same is true if I don't set the exception.
So currently I cannot figure out a way to keep all the cookies if I clear cookie history when firefox closes. What is the difference when this is enabled?

Let all cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies.
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Keep until: "I close Firefox"
Create a cookie 'allow' exception for cookies that you would like to keep.
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

How can I keep My 2 email accounts and all other using HTML? It only lasts temporarily, i.e. for the day...

(1) - when I open Firefox I recently have clicked on the hyperlink for HTML at the bottom of page, it works great for my gmail and yahoo accounts. However, it is not a permanent fix, as it apparently lasts just for the daily session. How can I keep my internet, et al. HTML permanently?
(2) - Firefox v24.0 is said to be fast and faster! However, I am not finding it so. when I click on a link or open a tab, it is frustrating as the tab labors too long to open...I more than not click on reload, which appears to help somewhat. Any suggestions?
(3) - I've just printed out the Mozilla Support Q&A on the error message from Firefox stating that it cannot load the website...how to I remedy this, as it occurs constantly with my Yahoo mail login?
(4) Finally, several weeks ago I inadvertently popped the "HEALTH" Bookmark (I have a Bookmarks Toolbar), which is excellent (had it with WinXP also, now with Win7), but I seem to pop, double click, or something or other, that makes a bookmark folder jump into the wild blue yonder! I've posted for answers here and elsewhere, printed out and read all variable instructions to navigate and locate, all to no avail. More sage advice please?
with appreciation and, thanks in advance.

For #1, is the link to use HTML to simplify the interface?
It may be that the site stores your preference in a cookie, and you might have set Firefox to delete the cookie when you exit the browser. There are a few built-in ways to do this:
* Set Firefox to "Keep [cookies] until: I close Firefox" on the Privacy Options (you can create an exception for your mail sites)
* Set Firefox to "Clear history when Firefox closes" on the Privacy Options
* Use a private browsing window to visit your mail site
It's also possible that add-ons or external software may clean out cookies, or that there is a problem with the database file Firefox uses the store cookies.
For #2, did this problem just start recently? Do you notice any relationship with the type of site content (e.g., pages that use Flash or other media)?

I keep getting an error message that says "You need cookies to login to this site. Please enable cookies." I checked cookies and they're enabled. I went through and did what it said to fix errors like this and it still says that. How can I fix this?

I am trying to login to a website and every time I go to login I get a message that says "You need cookies for this site. Please enable cookies." I've checked cookies and they're enabled, I even put that specific website on allow. I searched for information on how to correct this error and did all that it said, yet I still get this message.

I have the exact same problem! With just one website. It's when I have a second account on it. I can sign in with my original (old) account, but not with my new account that I wish to sign in on. I've talked to a lot of people members of the website who have second accounts and this doesn't happen with them, it's only with my firefox. I've done everything I can to enable cookies, 3rd party cookies, no exceptions, etc.
But it must be something to do with my computer because I did the same thing on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome and it's exactly the same. :/

How can I keep the cookie history for one website while not allowing it for others?

My privacy setting is set to clear history, cookies, etc whenever I close out of Firefox. As a result, one website I use frequently re-asks security questions after I log-in even though I tell it that it should remember and recognize my private computer. According to the web tech support, it is because my cookies are being deleted. She said in Windows Vista, she found a way around that. I have Windows 7, but have not figured it out yet.
I would like to be able to specify which websites I want to be able to keep cookies for my computer. How do I do that?

Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
Make an Allow exception for the ones that you want to keep.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
You can inspect and modify the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"

Why, when I get on the local news CBS website, it loads, then the screen disappears until they either write or read something to my computer and I can't stop it

While on the yahoo home page, I click on the local CBS website for new info. The page loads okay, but then, it shuts the whole browser screen off and I can't get it back on, nor can I use "control-alt-delete" to stop this. It seems like they take over my computer and they have control until they do what ever it is they are doing - maybe writing to my computer or reading cookies or both. I have no control other than shutting off the power. I can't right click on the menu bar icon for Firefox and shut it down there, either. I have onlyh run into it on this site, I think.

Hey ksp4,
It may help to remove and reinstall the app.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
Thanks for any suggestions.

I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following: Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date. This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.

I just installed Yosemite, now I can't clear history without clearing cookies. how do I clear history and keep cookies?

I just installed Yosemite, now I can't clear history without clearing cookies. How do I clear history and keep cookies?

I think you guys make a great point, I too don't like how my cookies are erased when I clear history and have to use the go around. Just a reminder and I'm sure you all know, this is a user to user forum and Apple may or may not get to see your opinion. I think you should let them know. You can leave them feedback at the following url. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
Hope that helps,

HT201272 I rented a movie, watched half of it. Had 27 days left until it expired. After 3 days, received a message saying the movie had expired and it appears deleted from my rental folder. Any ideas how I can get this movie back?

I rented a movie, watched half of it. Had 27 days left until it expired. After 3 days, received a message saying the movie had expired and it appears deleted from my rental folder. Any ideas how I can get this movie back?

You would have to rent it again.
Once started the movie you have 24 hours to complete viewing.
How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

I have a Samsung Convoy "dumb" phone, and I plan to keep it until Verizon forces me to some **** overpriced "smart" phone. Since they migrated Backup Assistant to "the Cloud", I am unable to print a hard copy list of contacts. The web site just runs you

I have a Samsung Convoy "dumb" phone, and I plan to keep it until Verizon forces me to some **** overpriced "smart" phone. Since they migrated Backup Assistant to "the Cloud", I am unable to print a hard copy list of contacts. The web site just runs you around in circles, never getting to the answer of how to print out contacts. I'm sure the marketing people and web creators just love this Frankenstein monster they have built, but for me and my phone, it's just a huge pain in the ***! Do they plan to fix this, or just let us dinosaurs go away and die?

there is a point : no workie

Up until the ios7 upgrade I could track all our family's devices from my 3GS, now since upgrading on the iPhone 4S and 5 I can't track them as they come up as 'offline'! And inactive on my icloud id added on the devices!! Please advise.

Up until the ios7 upgrade I could track all our family's devices from my 3GS, now since upgrading to ios7 on the iPhone 4S and 5 I can't track them as they come up as 'offline'! And inactive on my icloud id that added on the devices!! Because I. can't upgrade to ios7 on my 3GS is that why, or do I need to do something else on each device?

It's possible that installing iOS7 on the other devices made the setting to the default for "Find My Friends". The default is off/disabled. Thus they are off line.
Double check their settings for that feature.

After I update my ipod touch 4g from ios 5.1 to 6.1.5 its always keeping restart until it die. can anyone help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
