Safari 5.0.5 in Snow Leopard allows cookies to be set despite preferences set to NEVER. How do I correct this glitch?

I just upgraded Safari to 5.1.5 and I'm having the same problem. Despite the settings to BLOCK all cookies, cookies pile up like snow in a blizzard. Ironically, the only site I've encountered whose cookies are actually blocked by Safari's preference setting is Apple's.
I couldn't log in because my preferences were set to BLOCK. Doesn't stop any other site from setting cookies, only Apple's so far.
As for Lion - I've been told it's unstable. I have already lost half my music files upgrading to Snow Leopard and
would rather avoid going through that again after spending a great deal of time retreiving the loss. I've decided to wait until all of Lion's glitches are resolved.
Here is a link to the many pages discussing this cookie problem, and no solution in sight. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3140339?start=150&tstart=0
I assume you are on Lion. And Safari's cookies preferences work as expected for you?

Which snow leopard allows 2008 macbook pro to mirror onto your television from mac screen

which snow leopard allow macbook pro to mirror streaming internet movies onto your tv?

wirelessly airplay mirroring
Good point, DLMiller!
If you want to use airplay mirroring, you need a device attached to your TV set that can at a minimum accept a wireless data stream. Much more easily, if you have an Apple-TV or similar box attached.
Since the original poster did not mention any such wireless device, I answered the question of what can be attached. The only way to attach (lacking a wireless device) is Analog or Digital Video with a physical cable, probably under 10 feet long. All MacBooks are capable of producing Analog or Digital Video, although some will be more awkward than others.

When yo udo "About this Mac" rom your Apple menu, what does the resulting window say about your processor? Example below, the lower red arrow:

Will the newest version of Safari Mavericks work properly with Snow Leopard?

Will the newest version of Safari Mavericks work properly with Snow Leopard?

Are you asking if you can install Mavericks on a machine running Snow Leopard?
Upgrade to Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
If you do decide to upgrade, make sure you do a backup before installing.

Cannot view MobileMe Mail via Safari 5.1.1 in Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

I am trying to view MobileMe Mail using Safari 5.1.1 using Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I can view Contacts, iDisk, etc., but for whatever reason, cannot see Mail. The page displays the message "Loading Mail..." and then stops loading. When I use Firefox, I have no issues whatsoever. Anyone having a similar issue?

Go to Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Details
Type apple in the search field top right corner of the window, click Done.
Quit then relaunch Safari.
Try www.me.com
And try emptying the Safari cache. Either from the Safari menu bar or Command + Option + E

Is there any way to clone a machine using boot camp running WinXP. The Mac side is running Snow Leopard. I want to clone a newly set up machine on to a number of machines in a student lab. I am wanting to clone both particians

AFAIK, there's no app that'll clone the Mac and PC volumes so you can restore them. System Image Utility.app or Deploy Studio for Mac and Ghost for PC are needed. See these for starters:

Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
And run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
Before upgrading read here > Lion upgrade questions and answers: Apple Support Communities
And here > What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"? What upgrade or substitute options are available for common incompatible applications? @ EveryMac.com

I have upgraded my software to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I want to update that to Lion. How do I do that? When I look at the Lion software available for download on the apple site it all seems to be update software for people already a version of Lion.

It has to be 10.6.8 I believe, before you can upgrade to Lion. I found some more info, please check out: http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desktop-os/231001728
Be sure all your programms will work on Lion. Power PC programms do not work anymore (eg Nikon Scan 4 will not work from now on on Mac OS X). Some versions of Canon utilities for camera's do not work, Canon still have to upgrade. For an App Compatibility Table: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

I currently have OS X Leopard on a macbook. No where in the entire currently that I live stocks Snow Leopard in order to upgrade. So can anyone tell me how I am supposed to upgrade to Lion without access to Snow Leopard? arrrrgg! Thanks

I currently have OS X Leopard on a macbook. No where in the entire country that I live stocks Snow Leopard in order to upgrade. So can anyone tell me how I am supposed to upgrade to Lion without access to Snow Leopard first? arrrrgg! Thanks

If by "posted to you" you mean shipped, yes. Usually UPS or FedEx is used by Apple. Note that you may need to access the Online Store that's for your country. If you are not in the US then you cannot purchase it for shipment outside of the US. You can use this link to find the store that serves your country: Change Country. You will find it at the bottom of the Online Store page.

I would like to install snow leopard instead of lion on latest macbook pro MD318 (oct.2011) Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, will I have to use install-disks of previous model (eg. MC721) or will retail-disks serve?

Thanks steph

Snow Leopard is currently running on this MBP 15", late 2011 model, due to my need to run an old version of FileMaker.
A retail disk with 10.6.3 did not work, I restored my previous Snow Leopard install with Disk Utility.
However, it is not the shipped software and is not officially supported on this Mac. Therefore, your advice to troubleshoot Lion is the best option.

We have 2 iphone 5s sharing the same apple ID. When browsing Safari on one phone it automatically sends a link to that page to the other phone. How do we turn this off please?

It sounds that you are running the same iCloud account with two phones. I recommend you to create a different iCloud account and you should be all set.

Try to "Force Quit" Safari - either under the Apple menu or by holding down option-Command-esc.
