Is there a way (config setting/etc) to stop FF from automatically scrolling to the last "remembered" position on the page while navigating back?

I realize this is supposed to be a "feature" but I find it really annoying. Say I view forum topics, click one way down at the bottom. Navigate back, page loads (always takes FF forever these days), so after things begin to populate I scroll down to where I want to go/was/whatever. When after long while FF is finally done loading the page, it auto-scrolls my screen up or down. Aaaaarrrrrrgh! If there is a config value to have it not do that on back (and better yet also reload) it would save me a whole lotta daily aggravation.

No, say I just downloaded the new Spoon album and want to listen to it while I'm looking around in the main music list at other stuff.
I'd drag the new Spoon tracks into my static playlist named "Now Playing"
By static I mean, not a smart playlist.
I could just as well decide to listen to a Genius mix or itunes DJ, or even a smart playlist such as genre=jazz.
Any playlist but the main Music playlist, so I won't have to deal with that annoying jumping around while I'm working with other tracks.

Every time i type an address into the address bar it opens a new tab. Is there a way to set it up so it just takes me to the page in the opened tab

Because i'd really like to be able to open a tab without having to close another.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''

Is there any way I can update my play count from my iPod to the same iTunes library on my computer that does not have any play counts?

I recently transferred my data (music, apps, etc.) to a new computer via transferring purchases and Home Sharing and only a few songs had play counts. On my older computer, all the songs had at least some documentation of a playcount. Thinking that I could figure it out, I reset the play count for the songs on the new computer. Is there any way I could get the play counts onto the computer w/out them via iPod or Home Sharing. I look forward to hearing a reply. Thank you.

HT201060 Is there a way to be selective about which photos are automatically uploaded to the Family Sharing photo album?

Family Sharing is set up, and "My Photo Stream" and "iCloud Photo Sharing" features are enabled on all devices. However, I would like to limit which photos are shared in the Family Sharing photo album. Here are two scenarios:
I'm shopping for a gift for my daughter at the store, and I see the item I think she'll like. In Messages I want to snap a photo to send to my wife to get her buy-in (authorization), but when I do this, the photo is also automatically uploaded to the Family Sharing album, and my daughter can see it on her iPod Touch until I delete it from iCloud.
On her iPod Touch, my daughter browses images of kittens and cats, cats and kittens (she's 10), and saves many of them to her camera roll to view later. In turn, our Family Sharing photo album is full of random pictures of kittens.
Perhaps all I need to do is turn off "My Photo Stream", to prevent all photos being uploaded to all devices automatically? And in the event I want to share a photo or an event/moment, I can create a Photo Stream on the spot...?

Probably the best solution is to put your daughter on her own iCloud ID (but under your name since she's under-aged). She can continue to use your ID for iTunes store purchases. If you set her up with a separate iCloud ID, then her photo activity and yours will remain separate.
The Family Sharing feature may not be relevant or helpful in this scenario -- as I understand it, Family Sharing is for the sharing of purchases, not iCloud, and only in situations when family members have separate IDs for purchases but want to also share the purchases from a "central ID" (e.g. Parent's ID)

Currently my daughter and I use 1 apple id. Is there a way to set her up on a new id but with the same itunes library

Hi. My daughter and I share 1 apple id (username and password). How do I set her up with her own apple id and password on her mac but she keeps all the songs from the itunes library?

Make copy of the current library, and copy it to her new Mac. Once it is there, she can delete whatever she doesn't want (i.e. your stuff).
Start the new account, and she can use it to buy stuff going forward.

Is there a way to set up an auto redirect from my work email to my iPhone?

I currently using my personal email on my iPhone. However, I would like to find a way to get my work emails automatically redirected to my iPhone when I am not in the office. I don't want to set up a separate account because I only want those emails which I receive after I leave the office. I'm envisioning something similar to call forwarding on a phone where when you are in the office, you take it off, and when you are out, you can turn it on.
Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it, and what do I need to tell my company's IT person? I don't want to be carrying 2 smart phones (Blackberry for work, iPhone for personal use).
Thanks,

The only problem will be when replying or forwarding a work email with your personal email account, which will be sent with your personal email account/address.
This can't be set up with the iPhone - this must be set up at the server for the email account to be forwarded to another email account.
Is your work account an Exchange account? If so, I'm not sure if an Exchange account supports being forwarded to another email account, and this would need to be turned on at the server at work every day at a designated time and turned off at a designated time in the morning.

I like to manually create lists when I take notes, so is there a way to create a shortcut/hot key for different symbols in the Pages inspector?

Not really a Pages user, but I am trying to make the switch from Word if I can figure out a few ways to customize Pages. I don't want to create a new paragraph style because I rearrange my lists a lot. I think there is a way to automatically create a custom list style, but I like to make lists manually because I frequently change things around. I would like to be able to manually add symbols. I know that Option + 8 will give me a bullet, but I would also like to use different symbols I found in inspector, like a black square and a black triangle. Anyone know if this is possible?

If what you're looking for is a more flexible way of quickly just including any symbol of your preference when you're taking notes (without establishing a more structured list like picas suggestion) there are a number of ways to use keyboard shortcuts to get a variety of symbols. Here is a link that you can use to hopefully find what you're looking for:

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Is there a way to set extension specific download folders in safari? aka .docs to one folder, .mov to another, etc

Is there a way to set extension specific download folders in safari? aka .docs to one folder, .mov to another, etc
I'm trying to use safari to organize my downloads so i have less clutter and know where things are

Nothing "built in" senses file type and sorts by it that know of, and I've not heard of any third-party options.
You can have pretty good control by slight mods to how you download:
1--Set up a dedicated Downloads folder in Documents if you don't have one. Point all you browsers to that folder for catching downloads.
from here you have two options:
2A--always display that folder sorted by "Kind." That put files of similar types together
2B--within the Downloads folder, create subfolders for different file types. If you do this, instead of clicking files for downloading, right-click them. One of the contextual menu options the right-click will reveal is "Download Linked Files as...." and will force a dialog box from which you can select the subfolder that will hold that file type.

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.

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.

FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

Is there a way to set which keychain item is used by default for a site/application?

This question applies primarily to the keychain in Mavericks, but also the iCloud keychain and its use in iOS.
There are several sites and services for which I have multiple logins that serve different purposes. Whether it's because they are business/personal accounts, or accounts that pertain to different functions, I have multiple logins for many sites/services I use daily, however, there is usually one primary account for each that I use for most purposes.
What I would like to be able to do is set which of these logins appears by default. An example scenario might be if I have an "admin" account on a site, and a "dev" account that is used for testing purposes to Q/A the site from the perspective of a user who doesn't have administrative access. Most of my work happens under "admin" but whenever I go to the login page, the "dev" account prepopulates in the login form and I have to start typing admin and select that. It also does this on my iPhone, which is where this issue becomes very cumbersome, because there is no dropdown for me to select which credentials to use to autofill from. It appears to only allow autofill from whatever it sees as the first account to come up, and I can't seem to change that without deleting all the other keychain items that come up ahead of the one that I want. This kind of thing also poses a significant risk of accidents if, say, I have multiple payment methods saved and the one that comes up by default isn't my personal payment method, but a business account that's only meant to be used for business purchases. If that comes up first, if I don't replace it with my personal details, I might accidentally place a personal charge on a business account.
So I really have 2 questions:
1) Is there a way to set the priority order of which account populates a form by default from the keychain?
2) When filling out credentials on iOS, an "autofill" button appears at the top of my keyboard, and I can begin typing in a field and it will show the autocomplete of the username that I am typing, but if I click autofill, it replaces it with the original credentials and not those of whatever I began typing in. If I click on the username it's autocompleting, it just clears the autocomplete. Is there some way to choose which username I'm autocompleting a form with?
Thanks to anyone who has any ideas about a solution to this, and if there isn't, and if anyone at Apple is listening, in an ideal world, it would be like setting the priority order of known wifi networks, where you can drag your first choice to the top of the list.

Is there a way to set the iPhone to have a black screen with white text?

I found the "Invert Colors" option under Settings > General > Accessibility, and like it a lot. It provides enhanced readability.
The problem is that it inverts all colors, even for apps. So when I view a web page in Safari, all the colors are inverted for the images.
And when I view my photos in Photos, these are also inverted as well.
Is there a way to set up the iPhone to default to a black screen and white letters for the OS, but allow the apps and photos, etc. to
be viewed in their regular colors. For example, can I run Photos to view my photos on a black background but view the photos in their
normal coloring?

I'm afraid that is not possible, maybe this could bee a step in that direction if you use the mentioned Zoom function:
Invert Colors and Grayscale
Sometimes, inverting the colors or changing to grayscale on the iPhone screen makes it easier to read.
Invert the screen colors. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn on Invert Colors.
See the screen in grayscale. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn on Grayscale.
Turn on both effects to see inverted grayscale. You can also apply these effects to just the contents of the zoom window—see Zoom on page 150.

Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

I have a MacBook. In previous versions of Firefox I could zoom in or out using my trackpad. Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Is there a way to set firefox so it only allows access to only one website / (ip address).

Is there a way to set firefox so it only allows access to only one website / (ip address) and block traffic from everything else (the entire web) other than the one site I want to allow? The site I want to allow is a corporate web application that will only work in firefox. We as a business run a windows server and all client desktops run Internet Explorer with security setting controlled by group policy. We have already locked down the security setting in firefox so users can’t bypass the proxy server settings.

I have a proxy server set up (Symantec.cloud). Fire fox is “locked” so users would find it difficult to bypass it.
I have a file: '''local-settings.js '''
This is located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref
The content of this file is:
''pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // only needed if you do not want to obscure the content with ROT-13
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");''
I also have the file: called: '''mozilla.cfg'''
This is located: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
The contents of this file is:
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 5);
All that is working fine, users can’t easily change the connection settings.
So all that is good and works…
What I would also like to do is set firefox so access is limited to 1 IP address and nothing else is allowed (the whole internet is blocked, except this one IP address).
You suggest using a PAC file - I was unsure how I would use a PAC file, (I have never written one) and do not understand how I would implement one? Please help.

Is there a way (config setting/etc) to stop FF from automatically scrolling to the last "remembered" position on the page while navigating back?
