Location bar under privacy tab not remembering settings

Ever since Firefox 16 and 17 versions came out I've always had this issue with the location bar not remembering my option. "When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing." Is what I prefer but if I ever reboot my computer or simply restart firefox over all, it always goes back to the option "History and Bookmarks." I find this very annoying. The reason I waited so long to report this is because I had hoped the next version of Firefox would take care of it. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem or will I have to simply wait till it's fixed by Firefox itself?

Unfortunately, that didn't help me. I went ahead and uninstalled Firefox completely without saving any customizations and reinstalled it. Seems to work fine now.

Windows not remembering settings in MacBook Pro 15"

hey all,
I have a MacBook Pro 15" released in 2008. I have dual booting set up between Mac OS X.5.6 and Windows XP. I have what I'd consider a unique problem but may be someone else out there has had similar issues.
Every time I launch into Windows, *it does not remember any of my settings such as my bluetooth wireless mighty mouse and my bluetooth wireless rocketfish keyboard or to use my external 28 inch Hannspree monitor as my primary.* I don't care so much about windows not remembering my monitor preference but it would be nice every time I log into windows having my mouse and keyboard ready to go.
When I launch into OS X, it remembers everything, from the external keyboard and mouse to setting the dock and top bar to the external 28 inch monitor.
Any thoughts on how to get this to work in Windows. Is there some some application that can do this.
Thanks,
Doug

Is this what you've tried:
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

How to change location information under metadata tab?

When I use the search box under the Places icon to assign a location to a photo, sometimes Aperture places a pin near but not directly on the place I have identified and puts an incorrect location in the tag. If I zoom in, I can accurately place the pin, and the tag then changes to the correct location. The problem is that both correct and incorrect locations display in the location box in the metadata field. I've tried completely eliminating the incorrect location with Manage my Places. I've tried removing the location from the photo and starting again. In both cases, both original locations remain in the location box under the Metadata tab. This makes using the search function for places worthless since there are so many false hits.
Is there anyway to modify the location box under the metadata tab once in contains inaccurate information?

I tried inserting a screen shot here, but I got a message that said "The content type of this image is not allowed." Let me see if I can explain more clearly.
To assign places, I have begun by clicking on the Places icon on the upper right hand side of the screen where the choices are Browser, Split View, Viewer, Faces, Places, Loupe, Full Screen. When I click on Places, I get a search box where I put the place I want to assign to a photo. Sometimes, when I see the location I want in the search results and click on Assign, Aperture puts a pin close to the desired location (but not exactly on it) and gives it a random place name (not the one I chose). If I zoom in and put the pin exactly where I want it, the place name changes to the one that I searched for to begin with. So far so good.
On the left hand column of the screen, there are three tabs at the top of the column - Library, Metadata, and Adjustments. If I click on the Metadata Inspector and look at the Location box at the bottom of that screen for the photo I've just described above, I see two locations listed - the first incorrect place name as well as the correct location that I changed it to when I moved the pin.
I've tried three things unsuccessfully to get around this problem.
In the Metadata drop-down menu, I've used Manage Your Places to delete the wrong location altogether. It disappears from my list of locations there, but it remains in the Location box for the in individual picture in the Metadata Inspector. From the Action pop-up menu (the gear icon) for the individual photo in the Metadata Inspector, I've chosen Location Name and selected the single name that I want. Both names remain in the Location box. I've had a One-on-One session at the Apple Store. (I took my computer with me so that she would see exactly what I was talking about.) The woman there told me that she thinks that this is a bug, and she doesn't know how to get around it. It was she who recommended that I try the Apple Support Communities to see if anyone has solved this.

New Firefox not remembering settings or guessing domains

Ever since I updated to the new Firefox 4.0 it will no longer remember my changed settings.
I changed my settings so that when I type into my location bar it searches on google but now I have to keep changing it as it keeps reverting back to the old settings. Plus, it will no longer perform domain guessing since I updated.

See:

Audio MIDI Setup not remembering settings on startup

On a Macbook 1,1 Intel Core Duo 2 GHz, SMC Version 1.4f12, OS X 10.4.8, Aggregate Device @ 2ch-24bit/96000.0 Hz:
The Audio MIDI Setup does not remember the 'Default Output' as 'Aggregate Device' and although 'Aggregate Device' is shown in the Properties For: field, only the 'Audio Input' area is shown.
Changing or re-selecting the Sample Rate under 'Format:' results in 'Aggregate Device' appearing in the 'Default Output:' field and the 'Audio Output' area showing the configuration.
I have to perform these steps every time I startup. I had the same behavior on my previous MacBook with identical specs but a different build week.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but Apple has absolutely no way to e-mail technical support queries unless you purchase that 'feature'? You have to call them with each 'bug' or technical difficulty?
Thanks!
Matt

Ah, Ok. Turns out the issue I described only occurs when there's an optical digital cable plugged into the output at startup.
Unplugging it and restarting does not return Audio MIDI Setup to it's previous behavior. Deleting the second of those two files you mentioned then performing the steps I first reported and then restarting without the optical digital cable inserted returns things to 'normal' and after numerous reboots continues to work as normal.
So, if I ever start up the MacBook with the digital optical cable inserted I will have to delete the .plist file if I want the proper behavior to return. Seems like a bug to me...
Thanks!

Fx Print - not remembering settings though i saved them

Hello:
I am not sure why, but the Fx Print Dialog is not remembering my settings.
see screenshot:
I desire the settings:
> print selection only
> and I choose print to PDF
I am a bit bored of having to choose these 2 settings EVERY single time i print a page. I never print as in print out. Always to PDF.
I have made these 2 changes, clicked preset and said save. But still Fx does not register I have done this.
Maybe these 2 settings cannot be remembered.
So if anyone knows how i can have these 2 settings remembered, please lmk. All I want to do is click my print icon on my toolbar and these 2 settings be defaulted. I always select the content (e.g. without the headings etc..) then I click the print icon.
thankyou for your help in advance.

Try this from the Presets: select "Save Current Settings as Preset.." and select for this printer only.

Print dialog not remembering settings

I have a very simple saved setting for my Lexmark E332n printer that sets the paper feed to manual. The problem is that since upgrading to Leopard, the manual paper feed setting is not remembered. In fact I have tried deleting the saved setting, setting the paper feed to manual and then saving that... and watching manual feed be reset to Auto-Feed with no other intervention on my part. Saved print settings are a great feature. I hope Apple can fix this problem so that it again works as well it did in Tiger.
By the way, I downloaded and installed the latest drivers on the Lexmark web site, and I'm getting the same behavior before and after doing so.

Here is the link for providing feedback:

State of apps under purchases tab not showing accurately

1.) I have downloaded and installed the new Numbers, Pages and Keynote apps (already launched and works), but it still appears in my Purchases tab as Resume (0 bytes out of XXX MB). They don't appear under Updates tab.
2.) I am downloading the latest GarageBand update, but it doesn't take the place of the current GB app I have (GarageBand 6.0.5) and remains a separate app. Also doesn't appear under updates tab.
3.) I clicked X next to the Download button of the Mavericks item since I have already installed it successfully. It disappeared (which I expected), but will I still get OS updates?
4.) iMovie update appears as a resumable download under Purchases tab but is not found under Updates.
5.) Only Xcode seems to appear accurately under both tabs.
Any answers, explanations or fixes for these? Thanks!

Providing it is the same app, you can download it again without being charged. It does not matter what price you paid (even if the app was free) - even if the app is no longer free this will be a free download.
To ensure it is the same app, go to (on your computer):
iTunes Store > Account > Purchase History
It's also possible that the app does not appear under the Apps tab if that app is not compatible with your iOS version.

Drag URL from location bar focuses unwanted tab

In all of the browsers I use, I'm constantly dragging URLs from the address bar to <elsewhere out of the browser, e.g. a folder>.
("Because that's the way I work, that's why.")
In or out of ffox safe-mode, and no matter where I place the tabs bar, if the dragging path crosses a tab (i.e. the tab header where the page title is displayed), that tab is focused i.e. selected AKA activated.
This is often a big performance hit (Definition: more of a hit than I'm willing to sustain), not to mention a d**ned annoyance.
And the re-focus initiates pretty quickly.
I'm not dragging particularly slowly. Definitely not hovering.
I'd be happy even with a solution which simply lengthens the interval before this happens.
I've searched about:config for 'delay', tried changing a couple of <not very plausible> candidates, no joy.
Using ffox 36 after a very long time of not using ffox, so I can't say if this is long-standing ffox behavior.
TIA
p.s. -- I.T. guy who's been doing this since before the PC/XT. As such, reeeeaallly hoping for zero replies which mention 'reboot', 're-install', 'try older', 'try newer', 'virus', 'new profile', HJT, MWB, etc.
IOW, hey, you kids get off my lawn.

Fred, cor-el...
Another part of "the way i work" is that most of my windows, and especially the ones i use the most, are placed:
-- tight against the right side of the desktop (actually, a few pixels past), so that i can just slam the mouse (pointer) against that side, and thereby
land squarely on the scrollbar without any fine manual control; and
-- tight against the top, so i can do likewise to bring a partly-covered
window into focus by landing squarely on its title-bar. (The windows are
all kept at dimensions that make them overlap, both left-to-right and
top-to-bottom, so that the lower-left corners tend to form a top-left to
bottom-right diagonal across the desktop. That way i can easily switch to
any window by touching an unobscured part of either its title-bar or its
bottom border.
The short-and-wide windows are things with a lot of columns, like directory / file trees, spreadsheets, etc., and the tall-and-narrow
windows are the text-dominated apps like browsers and editors.)
I already do leave part of the desktop visible at the very bottom and the
very left. So, i can easily drag links (or other items) from a page (or drag
the URL), either to the desktop or to pretty much any window which i
have open and un-minimized.
The other factor is this: i keep the "taskbar" configured to appear only when i slam the mouse (without needing careful positioning) against the
LEFT of the desktop (so the window titles are actually wide enough to be
legible) -- and i do likewise for the browser, i.e. have the tab bar on the
left so that the tab titles are wide & legible.
So, it's difficult to do the dragging without either passing over an
unfocused tab, or moving the mouse more slowly and carefully than i'd
rather bother with (to avoid being slowed down). About the only thing
which would consistently work, is to carefully drag to the top (or past
the bottom) of the browser window, without crossing an unfocused tab,
and then to the desired drop-point.
As i mentioned in the O.P., it would be a lot easier if there were some
way to just *slightly* increase the x-millisecond lag between the time
the mouse first crosses a tab, and the time the focus is switched.
As i said, i'm back on firefox (for about 2 months) after a long time away.
And i don't have this problem on other browsers. I don't remember how long the "change-focus delay" was on Opera12 (maybe even infinite),
but I just now tried it on Chrome 32, and it's about 500 msec if i pause
over an unfocused tab, and about a full second if the mouse is constantly
moving -- IOW, plenty of time for me to "pass through the neighborhood"
without having to think about it.
And here's irony: on SeaMonkey (2.33), it doesn't happen **at all**.
Unfortunately, neither Chrome nor SM seem to have a reliable,
non-kludgey way -- not even with extensions -- to have vertical tabs as an
integral part of the browser window.

Adobe flash player not remembering settings

i just bought a brand new hp laptop and im having some difficiculty with adobe flash player 10. i am running it on vista x64 and in firefox but whenever i run something like gmail's video chat, it asks me everytime to 'allow' it. i have tried going to the settings and allowing the gmail to 'allow' access to my webcam and voice recorder and click on 'always' but it never actually saves the changes. the same is true when i come to the adobe site and try to change the global settings. nothing i change in any of the settings will save. its pretty frustrating i tried looking into it some and it sounded like the problem may be that im running it at x64. im not sure if this is the case tho. im clueless, hence this thread. also, i'm not sure if there is any correlation, but i can't get the music player on myspace profiles to show up, not a major concern to me tho.

Check out this article and see whether anything there helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].
Also, you probably want to look under Tools > Add-ons > Plugins for Shockwave Flash.

Leopard not remembering settings?

Hello,
I'm currently having a problem with Leopard remembering my settings. Whenever I open Firefox, it asks me if I would like to set Firefox as my default browser. I always say yes, but when I restart my computer Safari has been reset as the default browser. So, Firefox asks me again if I would like to make it my default browser.
This also happens with my firewall settings. Every time I open iChat it asks me if I would like to allow iChatAgent through the firewall. I say yes, but the setting never sticks.
Has anybody else experienced this? Does anybody know how to fix this?

I had this issue until I used a free app that allows much more control over the default apps and which extensions open which app's, I still really haven't found where you get access to it in a global setup format, going to Info and selecting what the file uses just would take forever. Go here -> http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/
its a system preference plug in (you simply drop it on the the system preference box when the app is open) and it will allow you to adjust what opens for internet, what opens for a .txt or a .text or a .Idontcare. etc etc. Very cool app that helps you see what you managed to get your settings set to all in one area. Hope that helps. Also with all the weirdness going on with Leopard and its new ACL's, have you ran a verify/repair disk permissions, as the settings that are adjusted could be unwritable and thus why your not getting the results you want. Hope that helps.

Finder not remembering settings

Finder has suddenly stopped remembering my display settings.
What can I do?

How are you accessing the Applications folder? It actually makes a difference. Thus, if I double-click my hard drive icon on the Desktop, I get a Finder window in Column view. If I then click on the Applications folder it will open in Column view too, because the view is propagated from the parent window. However, if I click on the Applications icon in the Sidebar, then it opens in its own default of List view. If I make an alias of the Applications folder and put it on the Desktop, and double-click the alias, it opens in List view. Also, if you use the Back button you will get a view from whatever the folder you were in is set to (this is probably a bug). If I access the Applications folder from the Go menu, or with the keyboard shortcut of Command-Shift-a it will open in List view.
The preference for a folder's default state is stored in the invisible .DS_Store file. Occasionally this file becomes corrupt. If that is the case you would need to use Terminal to remove it.

Google and other sites does not remember settings

I am setting up google to show 100 results at a time, but it always returns to 10 results.
Also another site forgets my settings for search for news on the site.
Have checked that cookies are allowed and does not expire.

Google recently made some changes to the Google search site with the addition of Instant search and that made the setting of the number of results in the Google settings to stop working.
If Instant search is enabled on the [http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en Google Search settings] page (link at the top right) then you only get 10 results. 
You have to disable instant search and reload the result page and then set the number of results to your preferred choice. 
It may not work if you make both changes at the same time. 
There is a link directly to the right of the Google search field on the Google results page. 
That is a button with a drop down list: Instant is On/Off. 
There is also a radio check box on the Google Settings page, that has replaced the previously used Suggestions.

Google Instant:
* Use Google Instant — predictions and results appear while typing
* Do not use Google Instant

I use AVG and SuperAntiSpyware, neither have been detecting cookies in the past week. If I go under Privacy tab it shows cookies. What path/folder is Firefox 4.0.1 putting these cookies? I cannot find them using Windows Explorer "Search". Thanks!

I am worried that some hack or odd software is hiding the cookies from AVG & SuperAntiSpyware. They used to detect sometimes 100+ cookies per week, now it's zero....
Thanks again,
dorothy

Cookies are stored in a cookie jar and thus are shared among all open tabs and windows.
Only all Private Browsing mode tabs/windows use a separate cookie jar that is used for all PB mode tabs.
Note that session restore stores cookies of open tabs in the sessionstore.js file as part of stored session data.
