New computer; Windows 8: Every web site requires signon every time!
I downloaded Firefox to my new computer a couple of days ago. Regardless of privacy settings (so far), I'm required to login to every website every time I startup Firefox. Didn't have to do this under Windows 7 Professional.
Thank you for installing the extension to gather your settings data. It shows this:
browser.privatebrowsing.autostart: True
In the Options dialog, if you set Firefox to "Never remember history" then every session is a private session with no cookies saved. Surprised? Firefox uses the term history very broadly in this dialog to cover nearly all personal data.
To switch off permanent private browsing:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
Change ''Firefox will'' to "Use custom settings for history", then you can access the specific checkboxes, including unchecking the one for automatic private browsing.
Does that work?

_____'s Computer window open every time I turn my computer on...
Not sure this is the best forum for this question, but here goes...
Every time I turn my MacBook on, the "(name)'s Computer" window is already open and shows the network icon and the macintosh HD icon. Then, after I close my browser, there are sometimes several of these windows open all over my screen. I haven't been able to track a pattern of which web sites cause a new window to open, but this is just confusing. Any idea if it's a bug or a particular setting of my computer? I know others with this computer who don't have the same issue.Hi,
Have you done things like fix the disk permissions (you can use Disk Utility) or used a program like OnyX to run the maintenance scripts? OnyX is freeware from Titanium Software. Here is a link

If you have tried all these, then you may need to try deleting Finder preferences com.apple.finder.plist or even just moving it to the desktop.
Hope this helps

I have used Mozilla Firefox for 3 years with no issues. I have now purchased a new laptop (Samsung) and cannot access my regular sites (like Windows Live or my banking, most everything) without getting a Yellow waring arrow stating that I am going into an encrypted page and third parties are able to see what I am doing. I am very concerned if others are having access. My bank says it has nothing to do with them...it is an https secure site. I still have major concerns, please help!
For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

New computer-windows 7; old computer DW 2004
Hello
Question: What will happen to my 1,000 webpages that I made in 2003 on my old XP computer now that I have a new computer Windows 7 that I cannot put the disc to Macromedia DW2004 in and register it again.
Adobe told me I cannot even upgrade unless I have Version 8. Mine is only Version 7. I dont know when they bought DW, but now I dont have the money to buy the $399 new version.
Can some one tell me If I can find an old Version 8 to upgrade to the Adobe version, will my 1,000 pages of files transfer over, if i did upgrade to a Version of Adobe DW? Is the format a lot different, and how would I do that; How would I get the pages and all those years of work if I cannot even put the old disc into the new computer?
Thanks

I put in the disc and it required registration.
Called Adobe and they said nothing prior to Version 8 is supported by them,
and that I cannot register my 2004 as it is to old. Only Version 8 is
supported. They said I would have to upgrade in 30 days anyway to CS 5.5.
I don’t know what the Microsoft Designer is, and I cant imagine my files of
1,000 pages plus all the other stuff in image folders would transfer over
just like that.
This is news to me. Inserting CD in the drive requires a serial number but this is not the same as Activation. However, since you are going to upgrade soon don't worry about it.
Your 1,000 pages can easily be copied on to a flash/pen drive on your USB port and this can be used as a backup. You may not know this but the website files are very simple text files and you can read then and change them by using Windows Notepad or something similar.
Sharepoint Designer is a program that can help you edit your files; very much like DW is doing for you ate the moment. I find sharepoint better than DW! I also get a free edition of Microsoft Expression (currently version 4) because I contribute to their forums quite a lot under different guises! If price is the factor than clearly M$ product wins all the time. DW has many extensions while M$ products don't have any.

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until October 2014. I contacted the IRA account managment company and they sais it's an Apple issue. Any ideas?
Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

How can I transfer from iPod (16GB) to new computer (Windows 7) without erasing iPod?
My old computer (Windows 7) died and I have a new computer (Windows 7). I had my iTunes library backed up, but I can't get it to work on my new computer. Is there a way to transfer what is on my iPod Touch (16 gb) to my new computer without losing it on the iPod?
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Not with iSync, that's for sure. You should post your question in an appropriate iTunes forum here:

I have an old iPod Classic with 80 GB (I think) of space. I saved all my songs in an external hard drive, but the iTunes library resided in an old computer (no longer working). Can I get the library from my iPod and use it in my new computer (Windows)?

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content. -

My Laptop crashed. I had a full backup on Carbonite so the iTunes folder is there and downloadable. Is there any way just to import that and have iTunes on my new computer (Windows 7) recognize it?
Nothing gets imported. Simply restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the new/restored computer.
Download and install iTunes from Apple's website.
The first time iTunes is launched, assuming the ENTIRE iTunes folder is restored to the correct location, it will launch and be exactly as it was prior to the comptuer issues. If for some reason this does not work, close iTunes, hold the SHIFT key while launching iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose or create a new iTunes library. At this point simply point iTunes to the correct location for the existing iTunes library. -
I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks
P.S -I have not taken any backup of those photos. So please suggest any software or any other method.If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup. -
