Ow do I delete individual pieces of information, which Firefox had stored i.e. searches and usernames?

For example, if I search for something, on Google and I make a spelling mistake, that search will be saved. If I fill in certain forms, the information is saved, which is useful, sometimes, however, if I make a spelling mistake, or put the wrong information into the wrong field, that, too, is stored. How do I choose what is saved and what is not, or how do I delete that which has been stored that I don't want, or no longer want stored?
I rarely store my passwords but usernames are useful, especially for e.mail, because these days, one has to type not just your username but the domain, too, which can be very time consuming and if one has several accounts, with the same provider, it can become rather trying. However, if one types anything into these boxes and presses return, that information is saved, whether you want it, or not. How do we remove that which is saved that we don't want? I don't want to remove everything, just individual things. I want to be able to be selective, as I can with my browser history; some things, I want to keep.

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

    Yeah not a problem. It does seem though that if you did not have a Time Machine backup then you may not be able to recover the deleted folder :/ But for future reference to prevent any of this, a Time Machine backup is a great investment.
    What it does is create an entire backup of your computer anything from personal information down to the screen saver.
    What you first need is a new external hard drive (I would recommend a 1TB or higher just to prevent running out of space soon).
    after that, just plug in the drive to your computer.
    once it is plugged in, in the top right hand corner, close to the wi-fi symbol, you should see a symbol that looks like a clock with a backwards arrow around it.
    click on that and select "open time machine preferences"
    just turn the button to the "on" position, and select the backup drive and Time Machine does the rest
    very great tool

  • Deleting individual messages in a conversation iOS8

    The trash bin option to delete individual messages in a conversation was available in iOS7. I don't see this any longer in iOS8. Was this useful feature removed?

  • Adding or Deleting individual Tracks/Songs from iPod Nano-How to?

    I want to find out how to load individual tracks (instead of entire folders or artists) from the library to my ipod nano.  If that is not possible, then can I at least get help deleting individual tracks from my song list on my ipod nano???  When I have the songlist up and right click, nothing but play, rating, or get info information pops up.  In the editing window above the delete option is faded out.  I want to get all the songs I like to listen to, not all or nothing.  Please help....

    VyteSnake,
    Are you manually manging your music?  In other words, do you have the Manually manage music and videos option ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab?  I only ask because it sounds like you are trying to manually remove tracks from your iPod.
    Another option is to set your iPod up to sync only checked songs and movies by enabling this option from under the Summary tab.  Then make sure each track you wish to sync to your iPod has a tick mark next to it in your main iTunes library.  If you don't want it synced over, remove the tick mark.
    For more help on syncing and removing music, see this document.

    How do I delete individual items from my iPod Nano?

    Hi Willowmet1,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use these steps to delete a playlist from an iPod nano (7th generation):
    Delete a playlist: 
    1  On the Home screen, tap Music > Playlists. 
    2  Flick down, then tap Edit. 
    3  Tap next to the playlist you want to delete, then tap Delete when it appears next to the playlist.  If you tapped the wrong playlist, tap the one you want to remove.
    4  Tap Delete, or tap Cancel if you change your mind. 
    5  When you finish, flick up, then tap Done (or swipe right to return to the Home screen if you cancel).
    You can find more information and steps for other iPod nano models in the user guides found here:

  • Fire Fox sent not all the data in text form. Reached only piece of information. Where can I find the cache of sent text?

    Fire Fox sent not all the data in text form. Reached only piece of information. Where can I find the cache sent the text?
    For example, I posted an article on a news site, but found that only a small part of my article was posted.

    I'm not sure whether Firefox saved that information. There is a chance that it is in the session history file, especially if you haven't closed that tab yet. To check that:
    Open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA your Firefox profile folder) using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Find all files starting with the name sessionstore and copy them to a safe working location (e.g., your documents folder). In order to read a .js file, it is useful to rename it to a .txt file. Or you could drag it to Wordpad or your favorite word processing software.
    The script will look somewhat like gibberish, but if you search for a word in your article that doesn't normally appear in web pages, you may be able to find your data.
    Any luck?
    For the future, you might want to consider this add-on, although I don't know how long it saves data after you submit a form: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/].

  • Deleting individual Files from trash folder

    This should be a simple question...Is there a way to permanently delete individual files/folders from the trash folder instead of emptying the entire trash folder? TIA, Scott

    As Allan says, no... the trash *should not* be used as a repository for files you're not sure you want to trash yet. Not only is this extremely hazardous, as it's easy to accidentally empty the trash, but it also puts all those questionable files outside the reach of Time Machine, so they will not be backed up. If you need a "Pending Trash" folder, create one on your desktop, and then put files in the trash only once you are truly ready to delete them.

  • I like to be able to edit and delete individual text messages but since the update only have the functionality to delete a whole conversation

    Yes, that's the way it works now.

  • How do you delete your credit card information from iTunes

    I'm trying to delete my credit card information in iTunes off my ipad but its not giving me the option to. Yes I've tried settings>iCloud>apple I'd also I have tried settings>store>apple I'd . It just won't let me do it. Also I redeemed money from a gift card with iTunes but it won't let me do it because of my credit card.

    If you go to settings/store click on apple id and view account, if you cant change your payment method to none then you prob owe a balance.<----this happened to me.  To verify this login to your account on itunes on the computer and click purchase history.  if it shows you owe a balance you will have to pay it before you can remove your payment info

  • I purchased a used 2008 iMac. And although the previous owner said he deleted all of his information his iCloud account is still the primary. I don't have a clue about what to do about it. I signed him out and logged in with my info, but still no go.

    I purchased a used 2008 iMac. And although the previous owner said he deleted all of his information, his iCloud account is still the primary. I don't have a clue about what to do about it. I signed him out and logged in with my info, but still no go. Is there any way to eliminate his iCloud account and make mine the primary without rebooting it back to factory settings? There was an update, I believe, that I couldn't install because i didn't have his password that is what made me aware that his acct. was still active. I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
    The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
    How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1. If you don't own another Mac
    a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    2. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    3. Partition and install OS X
    a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
              OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
              The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
              You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
    In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
    d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    4. Other issues
    a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

  • I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.  This is the design of the  iphone.
    It will erase the content when you sync.
    Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?
