Is the Disconnect program mentioned on 60 Minutes the same one on Firefox

Locking duplicate thread. Please continue here: [[/questions/989295]]
Is this program the one mentioned on 60 Minutes that is tracking your movements on the internet? I thought the program was supposed to KEEP someone from tracking you

Here is the homepage for Disconnect.

Available as a Google Chrome addon and a Mozilla Firefox extension.

When i try to send a photo by iphoto share, the programm always sends the same one. Why? What can i do?

What version of iPhoto?
For iPhoto '11 IMHO the best solution is to set Mail as your email client in the iPhoto preferences

When I hit reply in hot mail... only about 1/3 of my old email follows me to the reply screen.... it does this only on my notebook but is fine on my desk top... both run windows XP and both have the same version of firefox

I have an ACER notebook running XP and a HP desk to running XP... both run the same version of Firefox... on the notebook when I'm in an email (MSN) and hit reply only a portion of my existing email will go to the new reply screen..... and when I try to scroll down it stops part of the way down and won't let me see the complete email, let alone add a reply at the bottom....
Yet my desk top works fine..... Help please.... [email protected]

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

We have 4 iphones in our family and an Ipad. When we purchase music I would like for the entire family to be able to use it. Should each of us use a different apple account or should we use the same one.

We have 4 iphones and an Ipad in our family. When we purchase music, I would like for the entire family to be able to use it and then back it up to Icloud. What is the best and cheapest way for this to happen. Should we all have a different apple id or should we use the same one.

You will all need to be on the same itunes account ID.
You can however all have seperate icloud accounts aswel.

HT204053 I need to change my i cloud e-mail address to the same one I set up when I purchased my apple account I just created an I cloud address and when Ijust read the set up for I cloud it says I should use the same e-mail address that I started with H

I did not know that when I created a e-mail address that I was suppose to use the same one that I created when I first signed up with Apple I phone. I want to change my e-mail address to the one I first had How can I change it? I do not need two e-mail accounts It should have read that when you are setting up an e-mail address use the one that you first signed up with. Not after you go through all the set ups for I cloud it tells you at the end to use your account that you first started with. Can you please help me I am new at this and I still can not set up on my computer with my phone to I cloud so if I had my phone stollen I can find it I also have and I pad to set up yet It is 3 days and I still can not set it up
Thank You and Hoplefully I can change my e-mail address so I can have everything on one account

If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

I had the same version of firefox before. but dueto a problem i uninstalled it. now i installed it again and i want to recover my old passwords.

i had the same version of firefox. but after adding yahoo messenger to my computer, it added a toolbar in my firefox and i was unable to remove it even after whatever i did. now, i got the same firefox and i very barely want all my lost passwords. is there any way for it? (i had a master password and i remember it)

Did you remove your personal data when you previously uninstalled Firefox?
If you did then your Firefox profile folder with your personal data including saved passwords was removed. 
If you kept your personal data then Firefox should have picked up that profile automatically.

You linked them both to the same Apple ID and thence to the same iCloud account. Don't do that.

I'm using 9.2.1. Every time I open an album, I get a "face (the same one)" covering every picture. If I click on the picture, I can see the real picture. How do I get rid of this "face" that covers all?

Make a temporary backup of your library (if you don't already have a backup of it) and launch iPhoto with the Command +Option key held down and rebuild the library with options #1, 2, 3 and 6 selected.

Hello stacksofamber and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
You should be able to find a Mac OSX driver for that printer. Did you check with the manufacturer/'s website?

Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
Thanks in advance.

yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

I'm buying a MBP from a non apple store, do I still have the same "one year limited warranty"? And is it international or not?

I live in Turkey and my father is bying me a Macbook pro from Dubai's airport, and I was wondering if I would still have the same "one year limited warranty" as if I bought it from an apple store in Turkey, and is the one year limited warranty international or not?
So can I return, replace or repaire the laptop in Turkey

If the seller is an Authorized Apple Service Provider, then yes. Otherwise I do not know.
I do not see Dubai listed:

The Apple warranty is world wide.
Ciao.
