I'm new at this. I don't understand what is meant by making Firefox my "default browser." I use gmail and I have to log in, everytime I want to use mail?

I don't even know if there is any interaction between Firefox and gmail. I just know it's a pain every time I want to use mail, I have to log in. I don't have to log in with Internet Explorer. My purpose here is to take advantage of Firefox not being infected with SPAM etc. Where and how do I set Firefox as my default browser, and what are the other advantages? Keep it simple, guys, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

The "default browser" is the one that Windows will use to open links from other applications, or desktop shortcuts. Whether a browser is designated as the default doesn't affect how web pages work ''inside'' the browser.
Sites generally recognize that you're still logged in by setting a cookie. When you first install Firefox, it is configured to accept and retain these cookies. However, there are many ways for cookies to get cleared, including:
* Settings on the Privacy tab of the Options dialog such as whether to accept cookies and how long they are kept - [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
* Optional clearing of history at shutdown (although the feature is called clearing history, there are some 10 or more categories of data you can individually choose to clear or keep)
* Using the private browsing feature - cookies last only as long as the private session
* Privacy-related add-ons that change how cookies are managed -- your system data doesn't show any of these
* External security, privacy or system cleaning software
In your case, your "More System Details" shows that you have Firefox set to start automatically in private browsing mode. In this configuration, Firefox doesn't keep any cookies between sessions, so as far as websites are concerned, the next time you visit you're a stranger. One way this could have been set is if you or someone else with access to your computer went into the Privacy Options and set Firefox to "Never remember history".
You'll probably need to turn off automatic private browsing, unless you can find an add-on to store cookies you want to store between private sessions.

    First you have to know what you are doing, like an engineer : you have a
    Laplace, continuous time transfer function but LabView handles discrete
    signals only. Use matlab/simulink if you want to simulate continuous time
    systems easily...
    If you definitely want to use LabView, the first step is to discretize your
    continuous-time transfer function, i.e. decide a sampling rate and convert
    it to a "z transfor
    m". Then you can directly use the "IIR Filter.vi" as I
    said earlier.

  • After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
    From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
    I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
    I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad.

I don't want to redo data, say erase game data (campaigns, achievements)...

  • I get message:can't save library file not enough access privileges.Don't understand what this means?

    I get message:"Can't save library file.  Not enough access privileges" .Don't understand what this means. No visible effect that I can see now.

    Classic example of why you should save your workm in progress...just hit Ctrl+s to do it on the fly.
    Yes I know. But it is the first time I work with Photoshop on such a big project and I thought it would be more stable.. Do the newer versions manage the memory better ?
    You can shrink your image down which will make it smaller enough to save
    Not enough memory to resize the image. And in the manipulation, it would corrupt some of my layers..
    you can try to save as a diffeent format
    I could succesfully save in Bitmap format. But I lose all my layers info..
    The making loads of screen shots would be good if it wasnt really an
    option seeing as it would use even more memory to do that then put the
    image together out of the screen shots.
    I made screen shots without any problem. I saved them through MS Paint without any memory problem, while Photoshop in parallel was just used as a static image for snapping...

    Hi
    how to download this and install?
    There are no free DownLoads !
    There are no legal DownLoads at all !
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes it. Does someone know how to fix this?

    I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder and can see the original files and even copy them from Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes the HD, and when I try to work with the picture, it doesn't let me because it says that the master is in a volume that's offline. Does someone know how to fix this?

    Just to clarify:
    Does Aperture not see the drive at all (that is, does Aperture also not see the drive in the import and export dialogue) or are only the Master Files disconnected?
    If Aperture does not recognize the drive at all, check the permission settings of the drive in the "Get Info" panel and make sure you have read/write access, also the "Ignore ownership on this volumn" checkmark, this should be set.
    If correcting the permissions does not help, make sure you have a backup, and then use "Disk Utility" to run a check and to repair the volumn, if necessary.
    If Aperture can see the drive on import and export, but only does not see the master image files, then try to reconnect your masters.
    Create a smart album or use a Search with the rule: "File status: offline", to select all images that need reconnecting to their masters.
    Right click on the first image of the selection.
    From the Pop-up window select "Locate referenced Files..."
    Now the "Reconnect All" button should appear.
    Click it.

  • HT1349 I don't have a MAC, I have an HP pavilion a706n so I don't know what the serial number is. The HP serial number was accepted and neither was my itunes serial number. Does anyone know where to find the serial number?

    I am trying to find the serial number that is required by itunes for troubleshooting. But the trouble is, I don't know what it is.
    My computer is a HP (not a MAC). I have the itunes serial number. Before loosing my almost 5000 songs I was using an
    older version of itunes. I thought if I upgraded to the new version that I would get my itunes back. When I noticed the songs
    were gone was when I was taking saved items from my documents into a new 500G hard drive I bought yesterday. After
    loading a bunch of stuff it (not any itunes) I went into itunes and ALL of my songs were gone. What happened? What should
    I do? & Where is that serial number they are talking about?

    Hi Susan,
    Not sure why your post ended up in the Apple Server section but here goes.
    By default your music should be located in one of the following locations
    which you can see by clicking on My Computer
    Windows XP - C:\ - Documents & Settings - Username (your name or your login name) - My Music - iTunes
    Windows Vista/7 - C:\ - Users - Username - My Music - iTunes
    it's unlikely your music has been wiped and more likely that iTunes can't find the library file that tells it what music is in your collection and where it's located. This can happen if you renamed or moved one of the folders above to something/somewhere else. Another idea is to do a search and look for files in a format used by iTunes such as .mp3 or .aac which might show you where they are.
    Hope that helps
    Beatle

    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

  • Why won't Links open from e-mail if Firefox is default browser

    I still have this problem and now it is starting to affect the browsers functionality and useability. When Firefox is my default browser any link outside of Firefox (like in my e-mail) won't open which is becoming a nuisance. I am running Windows 7 which may be the cause of the problem via a setting but I can't locate the needle in the haystack or it may have happened at a Firefox update. Firefox has been my favorite and only browser since Netscape 1.0 but if I can't resolve this problem I will have to switch to another which I really don't want to do. Help!!!

    Thanks for your solution jsher. After updating firefox my links stopped working. I checked all settings and associations but nothing fixed the problem. I had to go into Firefox, options, advanced, and use "check now" that firefox is the default browser. Fixed problem and I can carry on using firefox.

    Hi Raghavendar,
    Generally, when you install Lync 2013 in the computer with Office 2010, a Lync Meeting Add-in will be installed and enabled in Outlook 2010. Please follow these steps to check it:
    1. In Outlook, click the File tab, click Options, and then click
    Add-Ins.
    2. Please take one of the following actions:
    If the add-in is in the Inactive Application Add-ins list, follow these steps:
    a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
    COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
    b. Click to select the check box next to the add-in, and then click OK.
    The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
    Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should be available when you create a new calendar item.
    If the add-in is in the Disabled Application add-ins list, follow these steps:
    a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
    Disabled Items, and then click Go.
    b. Select the add-in, and then click Enable.
    c. Restart Outlook, and then verify that the add-in is displayed in the
    Add-ins dialog box.
    The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
    Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should now be available when you create a new calendar item.
    3. In Event Viewer, view the Application log to see whether an error was logged for Outlook, for Lync 2013, the Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013.
    Thanks,
