Options and settings

I just received this thing last night. Setup everything, works fine except for the usb hard drive, that'll apparently take some more work from what i've read. I have a couple of questions though..
1. I can't see anywhere to disable the ping on the wan side of this router. This is a pretty basic setting and I can't find hide-nor-hair of this option anywhere. Also, when I do a port scan from grc.com on myself, this router is responding on most ports as being closed, instead of not responding at all. Not good, just wondering if there is a setup option i have missed, but so far, functionality good, security bad.
2. The second question I have is about the usb hard drive attachment. Right now I only have a pc but i'm planning on grabbing a macbook pro in in a couple of months. I've got the usb printer working like a charm, but the hard drive won't work properly. Since i would be using a pc and mac with the drive, does it have to be fat32 or can it go hfs+? I've heard yes and no, so i'm not sure. Right now it is formatted fat32, but the file sizes are restrictive etc. The router sees the drive, but the airport disk utility can't and i'm not sure how to hook to the drive.
Anyways, appreciate any response in the future. To recap, is the a 'better security' switch i'm missing somewhere?? And what's up with the hard drive function?? I have to give Kudos to apple for the setup, very nice product except for a couple of issues..

Where can I find a guide to all the options and settings available via the "about:" pseudo-URL? (Using FF 3.6.8)

When I last used Firefox support, several years ago, I saw mention of a long list of options and settings available, using a kind of local URL, beginning with "about:". I can't find it now. The text "forums" that I saw then seem to have disappeared and been replaced by support for dummies who might be frightened if they saw a page containing more than just a tiny amount of information.
The question is: where can I find this guide, listing all the available options and settings so that I can make my own decisions?

I must have forgotten; it wasn't exactly FF support, but Mozillazine. '''Thank you for the pointer'''. The "long list" I was thinking of was in fact about:config, which is pointed to by that page.
Given all that, I think it should be easier to find Mozillazine from the FireFox support pages.

Firefox will not open to home page as directed in options and settings. Opening in safe mode makes no difference, either. Any ideas?

Firefox will not open to home page as set in the settings. Even in safe mode, it still will not open to home page as directed. It seems to want to open to last set of tabs, even though that is not the way it was set in settings. It seems as though the settings do not have any impact on the way it behaves!!!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*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.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

Dell u3014 connected to MBP, now what? (options and settings)

Today I unboxed my new Dell U3014 and connected it to my notebook. At first glance, I'm quite satisfied. No problems as such.
I have a working connection between my MacBook Pro (13", mid-2009, Yosemite) and new Dell u3014. A few specific questions:
How to get started with color calibration?
Should I spend time tweaking other display preferences or monitor menu options?
Can my Mac drive 2 external Dell monitors daisy-chained DP-to-DP?
I used the cable from the box that connects the u3014 DP (in) to Mac mini-DP. Mine is a MacBook Pro 13" mid-2012 running Yosemite.
Like others here, I had some difficulty identifying the proper cable and connections.
The connection was a tight fit, and I had to push harder than I really wanted to. (no jokes!)
Other impressions:
The vast amount of screen is almost too much; I had to set it back a bit on my desk. I'm a software developer, and I can't have too much screen.
Text looks crisp, contrast and brightness are good. Colors seem warm and distinct – much better than my old Dell monitor. This is why I bought an UltraSharp, to reduce eye strain.
Q1: I'm wondering if, in order to get the best possible results (performance, clarity, color) ... Should I read up and fiddle much with monitor options and/or Mac OS X Display preferences? Is there a better guide somewhere? documentation is not Dell's strong suit.
Q2: More specifically, what's the basic process to begin and get the most out of color calibration?
Is all done in ColorSync utility? Do I even need to create a custom profile? (This from a guy who used to work with color geeks, people who debugged PostScript RIPs for a living.)
Q3: Can this MacBook Pro drive a 2nd external monitor?
The u3014 user guide says this about that: (quote)
Connecting the Monitor for DP Multi-Stream Transport (MST) function
To make use of this feature, your PC Graphics Card must be certified to DP1.2 with MST option.
Well that's about as clear as mud. The guide is clearly written for Windows PC users. Thanks a lot, Dell.
I guess I'll just buy a DP-to-DP cable, hook up my older Dell, and see if daisy-chaining works. I suppose this will depend on the graphics card and the monitor.
So, does anyone have some experience they'd like to share?
Thanks
Keith

Some images are not loading after update and have explored options and settings without result

a lot of sites visited do not show images. ie google, weather maps, my home page for isp. have tried most suggestions and has occurred only since f/fox update.

You probably have seen this article, but just in case you haven't, it's a pretty comprehensive list of things to check:
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Images%20or%20animations%20do%20not%20show Images or animations do not show | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help]
Also, if you are using an ad blocking add-on, you might try disabling that in case it has gone haywire (e.g., bad rule set update).

Hi t.romano91,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I'm not sure why you had to manually enter your contact information, but if you created and turned on your iCloud account, the information should be there.
The link below will give you a general overview of iCloud, and how to look at your contacts:
iCloud Help: Contacts overview
I've also included the User Guide for the iPhone below to help you get started ...
Please note that the Contacts App (looks like a brown address book) is located inside the Utilties folder on your home screen. Press and hold the Utilities folder and it will jiggle. Then drag the Contacts App out onto the home screen for easier access. (see page 20 of the guide below).
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Page 100 - 102 explains how the Contacts feature works.
Enjoy your new iPhone!
Have a great day!

I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature. It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not there. How do I add additional options and get my preferred signature style back?

Hi Amanda ,
Which version of Acrobat are you using?
Which signature style are you talking about?
You can go ahead and try uninstalling and reinstalling it and see if that works for you .
Use the cleaner tool to uninstall it .Here is the link.
Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
You can refer to the following link to re install it .

HT1551 Apple TV - can only see Computers and Settings options (no internet)

sine the apple2 tv software was updated last week I can only see options for computers and settings
whilst my internet connection is clearly working, I cannot access youtube or internet radio as there is no internet option
any ideas how to fix this pls?

My ATV3 has worked beautifully for the last week. We woke up this morning to find this problem. Nothing weird happened over night - my entire network has been up all night with no resets or anything strange.
The ATV3 accessing all of my Home Sharing content, so I know the network is fine (wired). Tried resetting and cycling power. Tried changing locations/setting language. Nothing. I even tried resetting my DSL Router, but to no avail.
I've got nothing fancy going on with my location, short of being in Canada.
Update: Oh, and I have a 2nd ATV3 downstairs, also on a wired connection. Just found out that it, too, is exhibiting the same error. Although, I'd left it in 'iTunes Match' last night and the first thing I saw when I started it up was "Error: iTunes is Unavailable. Please try again later". Plugged my old Popcorn Hour in and it, at least, is working fine.

My iPad is frozen with the message not enough storage. Options are close and settings but it will not respond to buttons and will not allow me to turn it completely off. How do I get past that message?

Delete some apps, files, photos, videos, movies, etc to free up some space.
How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
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, 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.

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

I am confused. You said till you Erases all contents and setting yu could not turn it and iTunes did not see it. How could you Erase all Contents and Setting if you could not turn it on?

Can anyone please tell me how to stop email previews from appearing on my screen. I have turned off the preview option in settings on both my ipad and iphone, but they still keep appearing. Thanks

Can anyone please tell me how to stop email previews from appearing on my screen. I have turned off the preview option in settings on both my ipad and iphone, but they still keep appearing. Thanks

works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1). Try again. with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only. (you cannot get rid of the subject) with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

Alright, I found the issue. This is how I have resolved my issue. I hope it will help you.
1. This issue could happen, if your apple TV doesnt have internet, connectivity to iTunes servers, or you haven't logged in to iTunes account in your apple TV
2. Test the network on apple tv - General - settings - network - test network, Try to aviod using wifi use LAN cable, since we are trying to fix the issue.
3. Set your exact location manually - Which city you are in from settings-General - Time Zone- choose your City currently you are in.
4. Login to iTunes account - settings- iTunes Store- set your default store - for example I am in Mongolia but using my New Zealand account on Apple TV, in our case my Apple TV iTunes account location is New Zeland.
5. If you are facing any issues to login to your iTunes account, That explains you have an issue with connectivity back to iTune servers, or sometimes it could be apple iTune servers may have problems. To verify which is one is the problem login to your itunes on your laptop or desktop for testing purposes, make sure you are using the same internet connection as your home apple TV is using.
6. if you are able to login you should able to see all the available channels and full list on Apple TV.
All the best..I just saved USD 29.00 but spend 5 hours...LOL..Its ok..its my Holiday spend with Apple TV.
