See the [[Clear Recent History]] KB article for information on settings in this regard.
Not saving history will not slow down your Firefox.
As described in the article, you can choose to not save any history at all, save it only in an active session, or keep it. You can also start a "Private Browsing" session if you have history enabled, but don't want Firefox to remember history for a certain session. And you can always clear the history completely if you wish to do so.
For further help with history-related topics, you could check out this search in the KB: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/search?qs=s&q=history - or ask further questions in this or a new thread here on the forums.

How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices.
Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

i have 5 devices all on one itune account.i have not activated icloud because i dont want it to sync all our information together. is there a way to set it up to only sync the music together and not the contacts photos messages etc
Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, iCloud doesn't sync music. Just set up every person's devices on a separate iCloud account and your iCloud data and photo stream will remain separated. Each iCloud account will need a separate ID, but it does not need to be the same as your iTunes ID. You can continue to share the same iTunes ID and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud.
You'll also want to use separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime. This will keep your text messages and FaceTime called separated as well. The easiest way to do this is to have everyone use their iCloud ID for these two services as well. -

Apple Id is asking my Card details for I store review, Is there a way I dont want to give my card but want to downlaod free skype for personal use??
Unless you followed, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used in the store - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering it

If you don't want to enter you card's details then you will need to create a new account, and use those instructions when creating it

where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable. Thank you.
How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it. -
I have Firefox add on's such as Weather-bug and Reminder. I want to know if these add on's can slow down my computer. They seem to be doing that. And, if I need to delete these add-on's from my computer. How would I go about doing that?
Thank You,
Gary W. LusterJust to the right of your post, you should see an "Edit this post" link. Click that, and then next to the subject text just above the message text edit box, you should see an "edit" link. Use that to remove your email address.
To remove an add-on, go to the Add-ons menu item. In Firefox 4 that's on the FireFox menu (upper left corner of the window). In older versions it's on the Tools menu. Then you want to choose the Extensions tab, and find the add-on you want to remove. It should have a Remove button next to it. -

Too vague a question.
What is slow... the bootup... or something else?
Start with repairing disk permissions. -
My daughter has interrupted business as usual because she decided to change the passcode on my ipod. This is a first or second generation nano maybe, and it was loaded on a pc in Texas. I dont want to lose the songs that my mom loaded for me because they're irretreivable. Could someone tell me the process to unlock my ipod from my laptop, but reserve my exsisting music?
Try connecting the iPod to the computer your normally sync it with. Then properly eject it. Upon doing so, you may discover that your iPod is unlocked. If it is, make sure to disable the Screen Lock or change the code to something you can remember.
Otherwise, if that doesn't work, your only option at that point is to restore the iPod via iTunes. And yes this will involve wiping all content and settings from the iPod. Afraid there is no other way.

Purchased album but all but one track will play!
Hi,
I purchased and downloaded an album from the iTunes store. However, when I went to play it, all but one track would play.
I "checked for purchased music" but it said everything had been downloaded - what is wrong that it won't play this track?!
TIA!I got this from Dan F in another thread:
Delete the song from iTunes library and choose move to trash.
Take it out of the trash and put it on the desktop.
Click on it, and it opens iTunes and plays.
If that doesn't help, best thing you can do is email the iTunes team:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/download/
They should be able to let you re-download it. Good luck. -
Mac OSX.
I've gone through the list of troubleshooting tips for slow downs and for unresponsive scripts. I continue to get slow downs to my computer and browser when I use my Firefox. It is becoming so bad that sometimes I cannot get work done.And now, I think I've identified part of the issue. When you pin tabs as an app tab, this slows down Firefox in all the ways I mentioned. Please, please Firefox, if you are going to offer such a useful and simple thing, make sure that it works...
Having closed these App Tabs, I had a temporary break from the slow downs... Then after another few minutes, the slow downs in Firefox continued... At my wits end. -
All Firefox builds/versions have slowed down considerably
Recently, Firefox slowed down to a crawl while doing pretty much anything - loading pages, watching videos, loading images. Firefox isn't crashing or going gray, it's just running at a snail's pace. However, the connection speed of the internet at home isn't the issue, as my parents still can get on the Internet just fine, and using Firefox, too. I thought it was a problem with the F4 beta, so I downgraded to 3.6, but with no result. I've had to lifeboat out to Chrome - it still works fine, no slowdowns, and neither does IE. Downloads still seem to go at a respectable pace, so I'm just confused as to what the problem is. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Is it your computer or your Internet connection? Even if your connection is fast the speed of the Internet also depends upon every server computer between you and your web sites. Are you on an unsecured wireless connection and somebody else is using it? What about general things you do on your computer. Do you have any processor intensive activities you can use for comparison test purposes? This can go all kinds of directions so we need to try to narrow it down to your computer or your connection.

G5 Power Supply Popped - Still works but fan speeds up/slows down nonstop!
Hi,
After applying a security update for Tiger 4.11 on my G5 1.6 a few hours later my machine made a bang/pop sound. It still powers up but once running it sounds like the machine is ramping up to speed and slowing down again. It does this continuously even when machine is running. Apple hardware test reports no problems but i'm concerned. Any ideas?
Thanks.
DanI had a similar problem (fans speeding up then slowing down). I have iStat installed so I was able to look at the rpm's of the fan (free widget btw). My CPU fans ranged from 2500 to 3200, oscilated all day long....up, down, up, down ...every few seconds. I noticed my CPU utilization was up, which was odd since my machine was somewhat idel. Looked at Activity monitor and saw my CPU's sometimes reached 90%. The application that was using the CPU's was the printmgr. Stopped the process and everything is ok. I know it is unrelated to the popping sound but you might ck the activity monitor to see what is going on.
