Safari auto refresh and iCloud

When composing an email in the webmail application at the iCloud website, the Safari screen on my MacBook Air will refresh every few minutes, causing me to lose the work I have done. I end up with a blank screen for the window that I was composing the email in. I don't recall seeing this problem on my other Macs, which are not MBAs. Does anyone have an idea on how to stop this auto refresh? I tried turning off Java Script but iCloud requires it to work.

Well, perhaps I have fixed this problem. I cleared out all the cookies on my MBA yesterday. I tested this again today and so far, so good. I went 5 minutes without the screen refreshing on me. We'll see if it stays fixed.

Why safari auto refresh

lion:10.7.2

the safari auto refresh all the pages sometimes.how so solve the problem?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I have been away for several days.
A shareware program is one that you can try out before you buy it to see if you like it and if it will do what you need it to do. If you decide to keep using the program, then you are expected to pay for it. Most shareware have nominal prices. As I remember, PithHelmet costs US$10.00.

Broadcasting of workbooks, auto-refresh and other questions

Hello Reporting gurus.
Our users run BEX Analyser queries but this is evolving towards more automation and fancy things. A lot of threads exist on the subject but I have not been able to find clear answers. We are on BI 7.
1) How do we use the broadcaster to refresh workbooks and output the results to a network share drive.
2) Queries being part of the workbooks work with user input variables. Do I have to change all queries (or create new ones identical) with user exits variables to fill in the fields for auto-refreshing w(ith let say the current year and current fiscal period etc...) ?
3) Is it possible to create a parameter input screen to pass on variables values to the broadcaster before the auto-refresh takes place so that I don't have to create user exit variables ?
4) How can we view workbooks with the BEX WEB Analyser ? Or do we have to create an application with WAD ?
Thanks

Hi Yves,
in Analyzer you have an menu entry publish with BI broadcaster, then a broadcaster will appear. there you can create a setting. inside that setting you can use a variant and with SPS 13 also variable sets. There you can define the users who should receive the updated workbook by mail. It is not possible to save to file system, but you can save in Portal.Web Analyzer is only to use with WAD and is not able to process Workbooks.
best regards,
kai

Auto-Refresh and Order By for view accessors

Hi,
We have set auto-refresh to true on a VO(LovVO) in shared AM and used the same to create an lov in another VO. Now if we have Order By in LovVO then we get the exception:
ORA-29983: Unsupported query for Continuous Query Notification
This is because of the Order By clause. When i remove the order by then there is no error. But we need the data to be ordered. So I have added the below code LovVOImpl.java executeQueryForCollection method:
if(this.getSortBy() == null){
this.setSortBy("Name");
super.executeQueryForCollection(object, object2, i);
and this is working fine. Is there any other declarative solution for this scenario?
I tried setting the order by in the view accessor but that also appends to the sql query and throws the above error.
Thanks
Thiru

Please see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e17125/adfns_cqn.htm#CHDGEBFH. Look like OREDER By is supported only in Best-Effort mode.
When you call .setSortBy("Name"), it happens in memory not part of SQL, apparently that works

LOV's auto refresh and having unique values.

Hi, I'm having LOVs connected with few attributes of a table, and those fields are used in view criteria of the table.
This view criteria is used in the af:query component as search fields.
To avoid the duplicates in the LOV, i created a separate view for each of the attribute, using the distinct key , and connected them with the attribute via view accessors. So that the af:query component , search field drop downs can give unique value of the column.
There is an another requirement, to refresh the LOVs of the search field, when there is a change in the database. To accomplish this auto refresh property of the view's query, i added the PK of the table with each view. By doing this i can see the latest values of the database in the UI . ie, the LOVs of af:query getting the changes of database.
But this one causing, the duplicate values to be in LOV, and the distinct key word in the view's query will not work because of the PK of table is added to query.
I tried different ways to query , like groupby . But no success.
I need both auto refresh as well as unique values in the LOVs of the af:query . Could some one point me a reference to solve this. Thanks .

why you have done that what is your reason?!!! it seems so wierd to me? you could easily add distinct on query of the viewobject!

Safari Auto Refreshing?

Is Safari supposed to automatically refresh pages in the event a new page is opened? I'm noticing if I have more than one page, at some point when I load a new one, all the other pages will refresh, which is frustrating when I'm trying to check my email/blog/IM and with each refresh I'm logged out.

Yes if you are on one page for a long time it will forget the other pages and once you switch to the other page it will refresh and load. If you don't like this way send Apple feedback

App store, safari, itunes store, and icloud not working osx 10.8

Hey,
I have a retina macbook pro 13" that i bought in january. It has been running perfectly fine until a few days ago the itunes store wouldnt load at all, no matter how long i let it load, only the 'Itunes Store" splashback page showed. I then also realised that the App store had similar problems, only it wasnt loading and returning an 'insecure connection' message. After searching a few forums and trying to solve the issues, it led me to test safari, which is also not working. The loading bar stops about an 8th of the way and doesnt load any further. Also imessages are no longer being pushed from my phone to my computer. This is not an issue with my internet or router, all other internet browsers work perfectly, and the problem persists when i disconnect from my home network and connect to a personal hotspot from my phone. There seems to be quite a bit of talk about this problem, but very little on a solution. i was hoping someone could help me maybe come up with a solution before i restore my macbook or take a trip to the apple store.
Thanks,
Pat

FireFox won't auto-refresh specific site, other browsers do. How can I get FF to auto-refresh?

I have a Help Desk application (everything HelpDesk) with a web interface. I keep my queue screen open so I can see new tickets come in and check status of existing tickets. FireFox does not auto-refresh this queue page so that new items or status changes show up. The page must be manually re-loaded in FireFox. However, other browsers (Chrome, IE, Safari) auto-refresh the queue page just fine. How can I get FireFox to auto-refresh this page?

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

b Also a default yahoo search tab opens up everytime I start firefox I have tried going to about config and change settings it works when i restart ff but next day it back to yahoo why

I do not know why, but it does sound like there is a hot key that may be affecting this, its a guess. Are you holding any other key when this happens?

Auto-sleep won't work when web pages auto-refresh

Dear Apple,
Around 4 years ago, I noticed that my computer stopped going to sleep. I first noticed it shortly after adopting Gmail for my email platform and was subsequently able to isolate the issue down to Gmail and other websites, such as Huffington Post, which auto-refresh. Apparently, any website that auto-refreshes at shorter intervals than the auto-sleep is set to kick in, prevent the computer's auto-sleep function from activating.
I have spoken at length with AppleCare about this issue and understand that this is "by design." For instance, we wouldn't want the computer to constantly go to sleep while watching a movie or downloading and conversely, if we are actively working at our computers it's nice that Gmail auto-refreshes and keeps us appraised of incoming mail. However, since the vast majority of users now leave their browsers with multiple tabs open and due to the fact that more and more websites now auto-refresh, the auto-sleep function has become outdated and non-functional. While users can always manually put their computers to sleep, everyone at some time or another forgets to do so. This is exactly why computers are supposed to auto-sleep in the first place. Aggregated across millions of users, this results in a huge waste of electricity.
I've been writing/calling Apple (through AppleCare and the online feedback form) about this issue for 4 years now. I keep hoping that with each operating system release, some sort of "smart auto-sleep" function will be incorporated that will recognize when websites auto-refresh and still allow auto-sleep to kick in. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be the case in Lion.
I work in the energy efficiency field, specifically in lighting, and care deeply about this issue. I consider Apple to be an industry leader on this issue as well. I'm not familiar with the technical side of this issue, but I assume that with the right type of programming, the operating system could override a webpage's auto-update feature and activate auto-sleep, while not interfering with functions where a user would not want the computer to go to sleep, such as watching a movie. With Lion, Apple has focused its energy on making the computer adjust to the user,rather than the user adjusting to the computer. Yet, in this case, it appears to be the other way around.
It is time for Apple to update the auto-sleep function so that it takes into account websites that auto-refresh. When I set my computer to auto-sleep after so many minutes, I want it to do so, regardless of whether I have a browser with auto-updating websites open. Apple must take this issue seriously, as the wasted electricity is too important to ignore any longer.
Sincerely,
An Energy-Conscious User

I am obviously talking to Apple AND I posted this letter here, because a lot users seem confused about why their computers won't sleep. Even most AppleCare reps are confused. In the past, I couldn't find much in the way of explanations pointing to this issue, so I thought I post it here in case other people are looking for an explanation.
The auto-sleep function was built before websites auto-updated and needs to be updated to accomodate them. For the average user, it doesn't make sense for the computer not to sleep just because Gmail is open. Just because some website auto-refreshes in my browser, doesn't mean I never want my computer to sleep. By the same token, if I wanted to turn off auto-sleep I could easily do so from within Energy Saver Preferences. The two should be independent, so the user has the choice.
Why should I have to close my browser every time I walk away from my computer in order for it to sleep? I've acknowledged that in certain circumstance it makes sense for the computer not to auto-sleep: watching a movie, uploading, etc, but Apple has already accounted for those instances because the computer does not auto-sleep when those programs are running. All I'm suggesting is making the auto-sleep mechanism more sophisticated so that it isn't overridden by websites auto-refreshing.
Why the negative attitude, dwb? Based on the amount of time you spend in these discussion forums, you obviously never turn your computer off, so this doesn't really affect you. Maybe it's time to step outside and get some fresh air?

How to disable apps from auto-refreshing?

I've got an iPad 2 with the latest iOS on it. Except for one annoying bit of behavior, I love it. What is so irritating is how iOS seems to refresh an app if you leave it and then return. A case in point: I use Zite to read news of all sorts. Quite often I'll click a link in a Zite article, which then opens Safari or the iTunes store, or some other app. After I complete my business in the second app, I double-click the home button and select Zite to continue. iOS will cause Zite to go through a refresh cycle and I wind up on page 1 rather than within the article I was reading. This means I have to swipe through any number of pages to find the original article, which is made more difficult because Zite, on refresh, has reordered articles and added new ones to the mix.
This is not unique to Zite though this is the app where I notice it most. I have found that returning to Safari after using another app will cause Safari to refresh and occasionally not display the page I was visiting immediately, causing me to retrieve the history.
Is there any setting anywhere that will disable this?
Thanks for any advice,
-Tod

I do not believe there is a way. You can disable the camera in restrictions that would prevent access to the camera but then you would not be able to use it either and you would need enable the camera again in restrictions if you wanted to use it.

Apple, please fix safari random crash and tab auto refresh

Apple, are those issues ever going to get fixed? They destroyed iOS 7's usability and the latest 7.1 beta doesnt seem to address either.
1) Safari randomly crashes - happens multiple times a day. Sometimes opening new pages, sometimes scrolling through existing page. This issue has NEVER happened on iOS 6.
2) Tabs auto refreshing when you switch from 1 tab to the next - it is EXTREMELY annoying, for example when i was typing up a post in a tab or looking at the result of a long search, then need to lookup something else so i open up a new tab, then when I go back to the original tab, it automatically refreshes wiping out everything i just typed or the searh result. This issue has NEVER happened in iOS 6.

Hi there! How can I disable auto refresh in Safari 4.0.4?

I find the auto refresh of websites irritating. Sites even refresh while viewing an imbedded video, forcing you to restart the vid.
Some sites specifically: Drudgereport.com & Instapundit.com
Thanks for any help offered!
Jim in Guam

Sadly this did not fix the problem. Also having turned JavaScript off, trying it out, and reverting to JavaScript back on, now videos don't play in Safari. Also, I asked for info on Safari 4.0.4, which should have been 5.1.5.
Thanks for the effort in any event!

Safari tab auto-refresh (iPad Air iOS 7.0.4)

When I have multiple tabs open on Safari and I switch from one tab to another, the tab that I'm switching to will reload, causing me to lose the spot I was at on the page. This is especially frustrating when I'm in the process of writing something on one tab then need to use another tab to search for a reference in regards to what I am writing on the previous tab and when I go back to the original tab, everything I had written is gone so I've had to select and copy what I can so I don't always lose all my work (in fact this happened twice while writing this post and I lost all text) but still always lose some of it since I can only save text from one section of a page, for example, I cannot save the title and the body of my post when creating a new thread.
This is also very annoying when I'm trying to read news articles and I keep having to start at the beginning of the page and always have to scroll through the article to get back to where I was...
This is basically making the whole browsing experience very unpleasant. Is there a fix for this? Please do help me if you know of one.

Apple is getting worse and worse. I have the same problem with my iPad retina and I had the same problem with iPad 3 but not with iPad 2. Before to buy the iPad Air I checked in a store if they fixed this annoying problem but I saw they didn't, so I decided not to buy it anymore and actually I want to sell my iPad retina because the auto refresh is very annoying, I cannot use it to work! Apple is good for children to play but not to work. Next time I will buy a cheap chinese android tablet. Also the operating system is much worse than iOS6. Instead to lose their time (the engineers) for this dusguted transparent design that makes me nausea, they could work to fix all the problems the iPad has. It seems they worked hard to make a worse operating system, look at the task bar for example; Earlier there were the url task bar and google's task bar, now they put them together....it's ridiculous!!! If I want to go back to the google page I have to write everything from the beginnig, instead earlier it was sufficient going to the google's task bar and the last research would appeared.
