Safari privacy alters changes by itself

I find this a bit odd -
I set the Privacy to 3rd party - numerous times anytime I go there.
Come back at later time - and find it was changed to always - allowing everything.
What needs to be done to make this the default setting and stay that way?
I just deleted all website data there -
Deleted all History -
We'll be keeping closer watch on this.
Currently using the MacBook Pro 13.
Thanks for advice...

Guess I should also Ask - What 3rd party software can I pay for - to block any issue other than the site I'm on.
I even see FaceBook link cookies listed in the stack - and I don't go there but once a month.
But so many sites think FB is the holy grail to their being - they flood the data in.

Safari Font has changed on some web pages

The font on my Safari application has changed for some sites including YouTube and Yahoo. Most other sites are unaffected, including Apple's site. The font is hard to read and I cannot figure out how to get it to go back to it's "factory setting" so to speak.
I've tried going to Safari on the status bar. Then to Preferences>Appearance and changed both standard font and fixed-width font to Times at size 16. This has not solved my problem. Default encoding is "Western (Mac OS Roman)
I don't know if it is related, but I recently installed a large pack of fonts to use in Photoshop. The problem started somewhat after that.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Phil --
Without a uploaded photo of the garbled font,
I would suggest looking for Helvetica Fractions if
the garbled font has some numbers in it.
You may have duplicates of Helvetica, or Helvetica Neue
or Arial. The font you're talking about seems to be a sans serif,
so I would start carefully look at Helvetica and Arial (all subsets, too)
in Font Book.

Macbook Pro 15" volume level changes by itself

Hi all!
About a month ago I have upgraded my rock-solid Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2012) from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. All seemed fine (with the exception of some known annoyances with WIFI) until last week when all of a sudden the volume level started to change by itself. It started going up and down, turning mute and turning on again and so on, just like an invisible hand or a remote access have taken control of my machine (it wouldn't even let me change the the volume using the volume buttons while this weirdness is happening). This has never happened before. To make things worse, I have then upgraded to Yosemite and all seemed fine but then the weird volume changes appeared again and I now am stuck with no straight forward way of reverting all the way back to the original Lion (which worked perfectly since Mac purchase back in 2012).
Can anyone help?
I have googled for similar issues and have seen some answers (mostly not that relevant) including a thread on this forum suggesting to reset the SMC. I have tried that using the suggested key-combination press, but it did not seam to have solved the problem, as the volime changes continue when I least expect it.
Is this a hardware problem? If so, would a change of the keyboard resolve things? [ At some stage I thought maybe the problem was caused by the fact the I have fiddled a little bit with the keyboard by lifting the :; key (next to L and under P) and applying a bit of WD40 to clean a tiny spil of sugary liqid that caused the key to get sticky. But the volume keys are way far on top of keybord so my assumtion was/is that the volume changes would not be related to the cleaning. ]
is this a software problem? Some thread on similar (not identical) issues had suggested there are some bugs in soft and Apple is aware. For this reason I gave Yosemite a go but the problem continues. Would reverting to Lion sole the problem you think? [ Maybe I should ask here if anyone can suggest how to go about this downgrade as Option-Cmd-R key-combination press at start up does not give me the Interner Recovery scree anymore, but keeps taking me (just like Cmd-R) straight to the OSX Utilities where can wipe of the disk (which I did) and reinstall Yosemite only. ]
I would very much apreciate any replies that might help me solve this issue.
Many thanks
Ty

Why won't Safari display altered uploaded files?

If I make some changes in my web page, some changes in CSS setting, and upload the page, it continues to display in the former format. However, if I check Firefox, the newly edited file appears just fine.
I tried repeatedly emptying the Safari cache, and even used Onyx to empty all browser caches, and of course repeatedly try reloading the page but it still does not update.
Does anyone know why this is so? Is there a solution?
Thanks,
Richard

You confused me a little here. Earlier you wrote:
t I can see the changes in GoLive or BBedit (as previews)
but then you say:
That I am also previewing the file in Safari and also loading from my hard disk at that time. So that suggests to me, since Safari does not render it right
Are you seeing changes made to CSS files when previewing in Safari ... or not? I might have read something wrong, but I had the impression you were saying previews in Safari show CSS changes, while previews online do not.
Also, I think there are two things happening and one is confusing the matter. Earlier you wrote:
But when previewed in Safari, it is not the same — the padding is gone.
My feeling was that this was a separate issue, not a problem with caching. (To my knowledge and in my experience, Safari never uses cached files when viewing files on the hard drive.) My thought was that this is a CSS conflict or syntax problem.
Test for the caching issue (in previews vs. online) with something obvious, rather than your padding style... something like a red border or a text style, so you'll be sure if it's there or not.

Safari 5.0 changes user agent to become mobile device agent on G5 10.5.8

Safari 5.0 changes the default user agent on my two G5 Dual running on 10.5.8 deeply in the system , affecting ALL browsers in such a way that I can't access my CMS and my organization's website properly anymore. Each and every time it loads as 'default' user agent, but the 'default' user agent is now set to be some kind of mobile device.
I can check this since my organization has a script which detects which device you are accessing the site with and changes the layout accordingly. By setting the user agent to 'Safari 5.0' in Safari the page loads OK.
Worse is the fact that CMS works only with Firefox, and it's 'default' user agent is now also some kind of mobile device on my 2 different G5 Duals. This means that I can't access the CMS properly without manually go in and change the url. Doing a preview of a page in the CMS renders an error which can only be simulated by setting the user agent to 'default', both in Safari[5.0] and FF [3.6.3].
What happened here Apple?

Hi and thanks.
Perhaps I'm not clear enough.
On my 2 PowerMac's, PPC, 2x2 Ghz, 10.5.8 and all latest patches and security updates using
Safari 5.0 and Firefox 3.6.3 an Opera there ARE the problems I have been trying to explain.
On the 2 PowerMac's, PPC, 2x2 Ghz, 10.5.8, ALL browsers pointing to:
http://unfccc.int
jumps to:
http://unfccc.int/home/5198.php , displaying the page as if it was an iPhone or a BlackBerry.
On my 2 MacBook Pro's, Intel, 10.6.4 and all latest patches and security updates using
Safari 5.0 and Firefox 3.6.3 there are NO problems.
On the 2 MacBook Pro's, Intel, 10.6.4, ALL browsers pointing to:
http://unfccc.int
jumps to:
http://unfccc.int/2860.php , which is correct and displays the page correctly
On my iMac, Intel, 10.5.8 and all latest patches and security updates using
Safari 5.0 and Firefox 3.6.3 there are NO problems.
On the iMac, Intel, 10.5.8, ALL browsers pointing to:
http://unfccc.int
jumps to:
http://unfccc.int/2860.php , which is correct and displays the page correctly
There has been no changes to the CMS. CMS recognize the browsers correctly on all above, EXCEPT the from the 2 PowerMac's, PPC, 2x2 Ghz, 10.5.8.

My safari did not change after downloading mountain lion

I thought everying was suppose to look the same on all devices with Mountain Lion? on my ipad and iphone safari did not change.

What do you mean by "look the same"?
Installing Mountain Lion on your Mac does not change the visual appearance of the Safari app on your iPad and iPhone. In fact, installing Mountain Lion does nothing at all to your iOS devices.

I am running 10.8.2 and my Safari bookmarks keep changing to some very old bookmarks i had over a year ago somehow. I replace the bookamrks plist from my time machine backup but they automatically revert back. I dont have a time capsule or anything so these bookmarks are obviously being downloaded over the cloud from somewhere. Please help!

Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

I would like to avoid itunes change by itself metadata

I would like to avoid itunes change by itself metadata such artist album, writer,comments,cover artwork. I don't want to use these informations but itunes provide to fill them even I didn't check the "find name tracks nor get album artwork". Thank you very much

Perhaps I wasn't clear. iTunes does not get info from the internet unless you are ripping from a CD and it queries the Gracenote/CDDB database. Itunes is too stupid to update songs automatically once they have been added to your library.
I saw the exact same thing as you described, hex numbers in the comments field such as "000B 0A4D 302C...."and it was caused by a WMP update and the settings going back to default. It also filled in composer information, Album Artist, and deleted the track x of y information.
You may think itunes is doing it because these changes also show in itunes after WMP has done its work.
If WMP is still doing this, make sure those options are turned off for all Windows user logins on the PC.

I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock but does not load as set in my preferences and the title page remains blank even though I have set-up a home page. I completely re-initialised safari, but no change.

I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock (white dot) but does not startup as set in system preferences. Also, if I open safari, the title page remains blank even though I have set a home page under safari's preferences. I re-initialised safari, but no change.

Having put my home-page under "new windows open with home-page" solves the "blank title page problem".
One problem left: "safari" does not startup automatically as set in system preferences, whereas "mail", also set for startup DOES startup

10.9 dashboard background changes by itself

Since installing 10.9 the dashboard background changes by itself between a checkered one and a plain gray one. What gives? Is this a bug? Anyone know how to fix this?

You can go around that, if you don't like those grey variations. You could put a wallpaper, maybe the same one you use as your desktop wallpaper. Looks much better.
Simply find a picture that you like (in png format) duplicate it. You need two of the same picture.
Name one dbgrid.png and name the other [email protected]
Drop those into the folder: system/library/coreservices/Dock (right click and click show package contents)/contents/resources. You will have to input your password to verify.
Then open Terminal and type:" killall Dock " (no quotes) and return.
A three finger sweep up should show you your new dashboard background.

Keyboard layout changed by itself...

The keyboard of my MacBook changed by itself.
I have a US keyboard, now i do not know to what it changed.
I never connected an external keyboard or even changed the setting.
Since then, the NumLock does not lit anymore as well.
Anybody has an idea what it can be???
MacBook Core Duo 2Ghz 1Gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi arprods
I read you similar post ealier, and looks like it hasn't solved yet.
Just to kill my couriousity:
Did you do another installation or you still using the original installation out from the box.
If you did do another OS installation which country you select and which keyboard layout you choose?
Try to go to system preference > Keyboard and mouse > Keyboard short cut > Restore default.
system preference > international > input menu > click on :use one input menu in all document
(US -- keyboard -- Unicode should be the only on that checked)
system preference > format > Region : United States
currency > US dollar
Hope that will sort things out.
Good Luck.
