Private Browsing keeps turning itself off

Is Private Browsing supposed to only be temporary? Every time I restart Safari 6, Private Browsing turns it self back off again. I wouldnt even care really if it didnt broadcast my current browsing activites to my family-used iPad! Talk about security issues... (Sure I can turn off Safari syncing on the iPad, but then I lose all bookmarks and auto login info).

Well I guess my point is that it's not really a "setting" if it doesn't stay "set". I realize it is defaulted to off, but once you change it from the default setting, it should remail off--even if restarting Safari. Private Browsing on iOS works as expected; you turn it off and it stays off. I feel like this is a major oversight for Safari on OS X, especially considering the privacy concerns I previously noted. Unless, of course, there is a glitch with my particular system or I am missing a more permanent option somewhere keep Private Browsing turned on.

    You turn private browsing off on the Safari page. Tap the + sign in the upper right corner, then tap private in the lower left corner. You know you're in private when the top of the screen is dark.

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

    Would this not make my privacy vulnerable?

    With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private  Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field.  The screen that  opens up has your bookmarks on it.  In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'.  Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off.  Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work.  This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

    My iPad mini keeps turning itself off and then the apple logo keeps flashing constantly, i have charged it fully and restored it many times. what can i do?

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

  • My ht-ct80 sound bar keeps turning itself off every 15min.

    4 days ago I bought a htct80 sound bar and it keeps turning itself off every 15min. I serched the internet for a solution to no avail. So I need a answer from sony. Its a great sound bar while its on. Please give me a solution or i will have to take it back for a refund this weekend. If anyone else is having this ptoblem. And i know there are many please reply to this post. The more that reply the more likely we will get a rwsponse from sony.

    Hello everyone,
    The Sound Bar turning off every 15minutes is related to the Auto Standby function due to the Sound Bar not receiving an input signal.  Unfortunately, there are two conditions where the sound bar will recieve a low input signal that results in the Auto Standby triggering incorrectly.
    The first case is when the TV’s headphone jack serves as an audio output jack.  This is not a recommended method for Audio Input for the Soundbar.  If you are using this method, check the TV’s audio output settings. For details, refer to the TV’s operating instructions.  If you can not change audio output setting, set up TV volume which is strong enough to prevent it from entering Standby mode.
    The second case is when you are using a set-top box (Cable box) that has a volume setting.  You can either change the Audio Settings on the set-top box for Fixed Audio Out (if available) or increase the volume on the set top box(Cable box) to maximum setting and then adjust the volume on the Sound Bar itself to obtain the desired actual volume.
    Thank you,
    ---Chris

  • My nokia 5300 keeps turning itself off

    Help my nokia 5300 keeps turning itself off. It won't let me read my messages. Everytime I press the key to read my messages it just goes off. I only had it about 6 months!!!

    Hi,
    The phone software of your N5300 got corrupted or messed up. It's either you can update it (by yourself) or send it to the Nokia Care Centre for a reflash.
    Try updating your phone's firmware by clicking to this link below:

    Make sure you meet the system requirements before proceeding and backup some of your important contents.
    Good luck

    After updating my iPod 4 and my iPhone 3gs to 5.1 it keeps turning itself off whenever I'm trying to load a larger web-page, or doing some hard operations. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Have yu tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My iPod touch keeps turning itself off

    My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipad2 keeps turning itself off and On

    my ipad2 keeps turning itself off and on. I can be playing a game or looking on the Internet and it will just turn off and restart all by itself. I pulled up and hooked it up to itunes on my computer but I'm not really sure what to do there either.  It's so annoying, especially when it's used daily, or all day, by me or my kids and it's constantly shutting off in the middle of things.

    DId the rebooting start recently after doing an iOS update or installing a game? 
    There could be several reasons for your iPad randomly shutting down & restarting. 
    Sometimes low memory (RAM) can cause the issue. 
    First, restart the iPad by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go and wait until the iPad boots up normally.  This can help clear the cache & free up memory.
    If that doesn't work, try a general reset:
    Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings.  You will not lose any data but will have to log back into your Wifi networks.
    If the issue occurs while using a particular app, try uninstalling the app to see if it continues.
    As a last resort try restoring the iPad back to factory settings.  Be sure to backup your iPad first.

    Unfortunately, it may also be that your battery is starting to fail but try the above to see if the problem persists.
