I want to keep or add things to my most visited site.

I want to be able to keep my most visited sites and add some new ones. why do they move all over the place?

* "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" are examples of the so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
* Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
* The bookmarks that show up in such smart folder listing are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
* Such lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default and you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
* The items that are removed from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
* Any actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.

Seasons Greetings. How do I keep firefox 4 from disallowing my most important sites?

Question
Seasons Greetings. How do I keep firefox 4 from disallowing my most important sites? All the garbage, it lets sail right in, but my bank accounts and library accounts are not allowed. Why is this? I have looked in the help section and tried the permissions manager, but when I type about:permissions in the location bar, I receive the following error, "The URL is not valid and cannot be located." Thanks for any useful information.

Thanks for responding. Sorry I wasn't very precise. When attempting to navigate to one of these sites, a message at the top of the screen appears, "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." Then there is a dialog box which says, "Allow." Once I 'allow' it, the page I'm trying to open does so. This only occurs with certain pages, and usually pages that I need open without any computer interference. I hope this clarifies things. Again, thanks for taking your time to respond.

I want to keep my most visited sites bookmarked but only displays about last 10

Like IE: I can keep adding favorites, forever & still see all listed in a long drop-down list or in folders. But when I bookmark a page in FF & say add it to a folder, then browse some more, & I want to visit my popular sites like my YouTube page, I only see about 10 sites displayed, so if I delete a couple then I can see my YouTube channel again to click on it. But I didn't realize that deleting any recent ones, even if in a folder already, will delete them permanently, defeating the purpose of having them. I want to see a longer list, again not necessarily as long as IE, but readily available.
Hope I explained it well enough for someone to understand what I meant.

There are several different ways to view your bookmarks, some of which are as long as you could ever want.
(1) Bookmarks Menu
If you have the orange Firefox button, you can hover over the triangle next to Bookmarks to display the full menu. Or, if it's more convenient, press Alt+b to display the classic Bookmarks menu.
(2) Bookmarks Sidebar
Press Ctrl+b to open or close the Bookmarks Sidebar. It's also accessible from the full View menu.
(3) Bookmarks Drop-down button
I can't keep track of where this is on the toolbars any more, but there is one somewhere.
(4) Bookmarks Toolbar
Similar to the IE Links toolbar.
More info: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-bookmarks How do I use bookmarks? | How to | Firefox Help]

There's a new feature of most visited sites showing when you open a new tab and mine (all 9 boxes) is blank now, I don't want it to be, what do I do?

I don't have any other details.

Is the disk cache enabled and working?
You can check the cache usage on the about:cache page and you can also check the value of the browser.cache.disk.enable pref on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
See also:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing
The thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the cache, so if the page is not in the cache or otherwise can't or won't (secure pages) be rendered as a PNG image then you will get an empty box.<br />
*Do not use Clear Recent History to clear data like the cache and the history when you close Firefox
If there is no history then you get an about:newtab page with empty boxes (no URLs).

Where can I find the Preferences for the Most Visited bookmarks folder on my Bookmarks Toolbar? I want to add more.

In the past, I was able to add up to 15 bookmarks, but when I downloaded Firefox for my new laptop in January, and moved my files from my old computer, this folder only shows 10, and I can't find where to change it.

Hi,
I tried that, but it should be a folder in the toolbar (not a bookmark) that opens with a list of the top visited sites. Currently, it reverted back to 10 from 15 on my old computer after I downloaded Firefox to my new laptop in January and moved my files from my old computer to my laptop.
When I created a new bookmark as you suggested, it opened up a window (not a list in a folder), and I got this message: Firefox can't find the file at place:redirectsMode=2&sort=8&maxResults=20. However, I'm not looking for a window to open. I already have a "Most Visited" folder with the 10 most-visited sites. I just want to increase the number of sites on the list in that folder.
Thanks,
Marsha

What to buy? I want to a small amount of product photo editing, build websites, and do some product label graphics. 74 years old and do not want to do the Cloud thing online.

what to buy? I want to a small amount of product photo editing, build websites, and do some product label graphics. 74 years old and do not want to do the Cloud thing online.

Well, the web site building we can get out of the way rather easily: You cannot build websites with any Photoshop related applications. Adobe has other applications for that.
You can still buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 with a perpetual license—no monthly payments and you own it. $700 for the standard version, $1,000 for the extended version.
The Photographer's deal gives you a subscription to both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 per month, but you never get to own the software. The moment you stop paying, the software ceases to work.
The Cloud thing is not really on-line. It resides on your computer. It only has to call the mother ship once a month or so.
Then there's the bargain-basement priced, emasculated Photoshop Elements, with some hand-holding features.
I'm a septuagenarian too, but then I've been using computers for decades, Photoshop seriously for over twelve years. Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Depending on exactly how much editing you need to do to those products shots, you may be satisfied with Ps Elements mentioned above.
There are trial versions for all of the above.

WoodyK,
If you are going to use your iTunes account as you and your partners iCloud account then you need to go into each phone and change your settings. In messages, you need to change from iCloud to the phone number. Create a contact with your unformation and re-train Siri with your name. Let me know if this helps.

Updating the iOS will Install the most current Version.
Suggest you use iTunes on your Computer to Update from 6 to 7.

We had one family apple id. I want to keep all devices on the same apple id for itunes but separate ones for everything else. How do I change the others now. We have 3 iphones and an ipad.

We had one family apple id. I want to keep all devices on the same apple id for itunes but separate for everything else on the cloud. How can I change the other apple ids now? We have 3 iphones and an ipad.

Hi, thank you for this post. I hope you might be able to help me too?
I am relatively new to apple (have an iPad) and having been a PC user for years I was pleasantly surprised with the apple experience and am now trying to work out the best set up for me, my husband and young son as I am buying them both of them apple products this Christmas. New Mac laptop/ ipad for hubby and then an ipod touch for my son oh and a new mac laptop for me. We are also thinking of moving from Blackberries to iPhones. Yes we seem to be hooked! but i am unsure about the home family set up and how to replace my PC network that I run off an 8TB server.
In reading the forums I keep seeing people talk about problems they have with two apple IDs and trying to merge them. I have also heard about a family ID allowing us to share apps legally. I am really nervous of setting us up wrong and then having problems later and hence i am now looking for some advice on how to share as much as we can legally but also make usage practical and not invading each others privacy. thoughts so far:
Music - I think we are happy to share the same music and access using one ID (we currently don't buy much music from apple but have lots of CDs we share).
Photos - It would be nice to share photos - as long as my son or husband cannot accidentally delete photos of mine (which is my biggest concern). I currently load all camera photos onto my 8TB storage box as the network owner and my husband has full access to copy any photo to his laptop but can never delete the original copies by accident.
Apps - If possible i would like us to share these but they are cheap enough these days to separate if really needed. Would be good to share licence for pages etc though
cloud, contacts, facetime, email - this is what is making me consider separate IDs or learning how to have multiple users in one apple ID - I do not want to have to share synced contacts with my husband. I have near 300 contacts now through work etc and he will not want them plus i will not want his or him being able to delete mine by mistake. and then for email and facetime, well I want to give him his privacy so I do not receive his messages etc. especially now that we are considering switching to iPhones
Then last but not least, i don't know the best solution for my son. he is only 7 years old so even though I don't want to pay for things again I don't want him being able to download "just any" app from the purchased icon in Appstore. Also, is there a child friendly setting to prevent him from viewing inappropriate content on the internet?
Appreciate I have asked a lot of questions here but I am looking for any genuine advice out there. Thank you or other potential advisers in advance.

Can I access my husband's iTunes acct. from my iPad? I have his permission & pass code. We want to keep all music in one place & family accessible.

If you log into his account and download some of his past purchases on your iPad then you risk tying your iPad to his account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
But it looks like that might change when iOS 8 is released in the Autumn (no date has been announced yet) : http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
If you have his content in your computer's iTunes library then you could sync it from there instead of risking the 90 days association on your iPad. If you don't then you could copy it from his computer and then sync it to your iPad e.g. copy his music to a flash drive and then add it to your library via File > Add To Library

HT5772 How do I delete podcast episodes that I don't want to keep without having them stay in my List view in iTunes and clog it up? I have some episodes that I've listened to that I want to keep, but others I want to delete.

Using iTunes on my MacBookPro, I find that when I want to delete selected podcast eisodes, they still stay in my List view with the cloud symbol next to them. I don't want them in my List view. I want them gone. I don't want to download them ever again. I do keep some episodes so I don't want to do the draconian thing and delete all podcast episodes once I've heard them. The other problem I have with trying to delete episodes is that some podcasts then have the same episodes pop back up as though I haven't listened to them. I've deleted a bunch of Science Friday episodes only to have them download again ready to hear. Not only that, but some episodes will finish playing or stop playing in the middle of an episode and a random podcast will start playing. Think! does that. GAH!!
Does anyone know a workaround? The same nonsense happens in any iTunes view I try.

You can delete photos from individual albums but not from the camera roll. If you try to delete a photo from camera roll it will be deleted from all other albums ("locations") that contain the photo. This is because the actual photo is in the camera roll (the albums only contain links to the photo in camera roll, not the actual photo).

Time Machine Question (want to keep old back up and start a new one)

Hello
I have a MacBook Pro that I back up using Time Machine to a Segate External Harddrive. I have several weeks worth of back ups stored using Time Machine. Then I needed to have my system wiped clean due to overheating. I just got it back and I have been working to restore my system (application by application.... folder by folder, file by file) from the most recent Time Machine.
However I didn't put it all back - I kind of picked and choose what I reinstalled.
I would like to set my MacBook Pro back up with Time Machine BUT I really really do not want to overwrite the old backups. In my ideal world I want to start a whole new set of backups. However I can't figure out how to do that.
I tried changing the name of the folders in Time Machine and that didn't work. I tried copying them, that didn't work either. It keeps telling me "The operation can’t be completed because it isn’t supported."
Is there any way to start a whole new time machine back up using the same external hard drive? This way I still have my old Time Machine Back ups should I need them (from my computer before we wiped it clean).
Thanks!
Alison

That's usually a recipe for disaster. You're likely to miss all sorts of things that way. Plus, if you have any "complex" apps (typically, the ones that come with their own installers and put other files on your system), they won't work properly, if at all, unless you also copy those files. Or reinstall them from the original discs.
Your best bet is to do a full system restore, then delete what you don't want.

Time Machine won't necessarily do that. But it will make a new full backup of the "new" drive (since it was erased, it's treated as a different drive). If there's not enough room for it, it will start deleting old backups trying to make room for the new one.
(That doesn't happen if you do a full system restore, or use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to put your data back.)
You can avoid that by manually telling Time Machine to "associate" the new drive with the old backups, per #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. TM will then do an "incremental" backup, of just what's new or different from the last backup.
If you don't do that, you won't see the backups of the "old" drive normally, but you can via the procedure in #E3 of the same link.
In my ideal world I want to start a whole new set of backups. However I can't figure out how to do that.
If there's enough room on the backup disk, you don't need to.

Again, if there's room, you don't need to do that. If there isn't, you can't, short of using a different disk.
But if there's room, and you want to keep the old backups indefinitely, you might be able to create a second partition, and start backing-up to it. See #3 in Using Disk Utility.

I turned off my fire vault by accident and is there a way to stop it from decrypting cause that is going to take a long time and i want to keep my hard drive encrypted

I turned off my fire vault by accident and is there a way to stop it from decrypting cause that is going to take a long time and i want to keep my hard drive encrypted.
is there a way to stop it in the middle so it does not go through the whole process

It's called, "FileVault." If there is no option to stop the process, then the best bet would be to wait until decrypting is finished. Otherwise you run the risk of borking the whole thing. It's hard to imagine how you can accidentally turn off FileVault.

In imovie 11 when adding background music it always goes to any open spot where I want to keep recorded sound only how can I designate where background music starts without having to drag to where it should start. any help out there thanks

How to add background music to a specific point in imovie 11 it now just goes to any open spot that has origional sound I want to keep I then have to drag it to where I want it located am I missing something need some help Please.

Drag it from the Music Browser to the frame of video where you want it to start and drop it there. It will appear as a colored ribbon beneath the video clips, rather than as a colored background.

I want to keep or add things to my most visited site.
