Is the 2010 answer about firesheep encryption boxes still valid? I'm using an online library catalog; no sign-in needed. I didn't have
I work at an extension campus for a community college and have never had this problem before when searching the college's library catalog. Every time I click to open a book record or see the next page in a list of books, this Security Warning box appears. That is a lot of unnecessary steps to delete this box every time.
joanie 11/16/10 6:02am is the answer I looked at for my problem.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep
Firesheep was developed to display the possibility of a website having a secure login shift to a non-encrypted page and exposing the user to session hijacking vulnerabilities. IOW, using HTTPS for the login and then sending the user to regular HTTP pages afterwards
If you're not logging in to that website, I don't understand why Firesheep would raise an alert. IMO, that extension isn't needed any longer - the webmasters who care about their users would have fixed their website years ago, and the webmasters who don't care and haven't fixed it yet won't do anything at this late date. Nothing the user can do about websites that raise an alert like that, except to "know" to avoid those websites in the future.
You may want to ask your school's IT department about why you are getting that alert, and see what they say about it.

When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?
So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?
An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to. To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song. Repeat as necessary.

. I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?
The device is locked to Verizon wireless not a Russian cell provider.
You can use Verizon here in the states. Get a Verizon Sim.
In out of the country use, pop in that Sim and it should work. However Verizon does not unlock for use in the USA.
And you must be a Verizon customer to get it unlocked to use in other countries. Apple claims it will work in other countries.
Good Luck -

What Firefox version is currently installed on the computer?
You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (37.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If you have a very old Firefox version then you could consider to uninstall that version to clean up existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).
Make sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Check the Firefox program folder and remove the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud account. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch" due to not knowing the password. How am I able to shut that off and log into my own account?
You can't. This is a security feature to prevent the resale of stolen iOS devices. You need to contact the seller and have him/her remove it from their iCloud account. Or return and get your money back. See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

hello there
when selecting the camera on my 3gs the screen goes black and has no responce i can take a picture with the top volume button but cannot see it until i open photos
please can anyone help
thankyou andyTry closing the Camera app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset (unless this is what you mean by powering off and restarting) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
Probably other people have a same problem since the new version updated. So much times in a day just freezout Firefox and than I have to restart. Even doesn't matter how much page I have opened.

Please don't change every month than we have a lot of problems! First waiting for the REALLY GOOD VERSION WICH DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM AND JUST THAN UP DATE FOR US!!!
A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,

Wireless Router RG54SE II disconnecting from the Internet in about 2-3 hours
I have a problem with my router in which i can't connect on the internet with it anymore.
My connection type is PPPoE and it worked fine for about 2 years, now i'm getting disconnects and after that i have to unplug it and wait about an hour to reconnect.
If i put the internet cable into my computer it works fine.(I guess it is not an ISP problem and i tried with another router and works correctly)
I have tried to reset my router, but it won't reset (pressing the button for about 20 sec and still remembers the modifications made and not factory default)
I have tried to upgrade my firmware but it says that the file length isn't correct. (file downloaded from http://faenl.msi.com/index.php?dir=Networking/RG54SE%20II%20%28Wireless%20Kit%29/firmware/ ).
Can i get some help? What shall i do? Do i need to buy a new router, because this is broken?Well Thanks for the replies..
I came home late last night and shut down both computers.. and re-flashed the firmware again to the router.. disconnected the router after re-setting it back to Factory and left it and the computers and DSL modem unplugged all night . I started this morning with a clear head and a little more paitence.
I open the lynksys advisor program it came with and followed the initial instructions and set it up exactly as if it was a brand new install. I re-set the router for all my configurations such as my Security Camera DVR so I can monitor my cameras remotely.. and for Torrents for both my desktops..I also flashed the firmware again just for good measures figuring it cant hurt. So far I have been without a disconnect from the internet for over 6 hours.. let me keep my fingers crossed and it stays this way (Connected 24/7) .. I used channel 11 for the router this time as last time I believe I was using channel 6.. ?
So far so good.. dont ask me what I did to correct it .. just started from scratch and let the router and modem stay powered off all night .. maybe that did the trick ? I dunno and dont care as long as I now have steady interent again.. hope I didnt jinx myself and post this too soon.. will keep you posted if it happens again. I hope not.

I want to use the Apple Time Capsule as an external drive and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs. Can I do that? The reason I ask is that my Time Machine utility cannot find the TIme Capsule - it only shows me the Airport Extreme, even when I "Rescan". SO I am unable to use the Time Capsule.
You will need to connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
Perform a "hard reset" on the Time Capsule by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds, then give it another minute to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule, and click Manual Setup
Click the Time Capsule tab located below the row of icons to assign a name to the Time Capsule, a device password, and adjust Time Zone settings.
Next, click the Wireless tab located to the right of the Time Capsule tab
Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update at the lower right to save the settings and allow 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
You are all set
