Still no way to force Safari to generate passwords?

It drives me crazy that I can't get Safari to suggest a password when I want it to. Is there no workaround for this?

Is there any way to force Firefox to remember passwords?

As many have complained about, there is a growing trend for websites to prevent browsers, including Firefox, from remembering passwords. This is absolutely infuriating. Like most people, I have on the order of 100 passwords, and thanks to idiotic, overzealous IT guys who need to justify their own jobs, we are forced to constantly change them to ludicrous, impossible-to-remember combinations of symbols and numbers. (Does anybody really get their accounts stolen because some hacker sits down and tries to guess their password? Somehow I find that very, very hard to believe.)
First world problems, I know. My question though is simple: is there any way to force Firefox to remember passwords? Perhaps an add-on or external program of some kind? I know there are password manager programs, but the last time I checked, those were all but worthless and didn't work as well as the built-in Firefox support for remembering passwords. Thanks for any help.

hello andrew, yes you can either [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords/ install an addon] or [https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password use a bookmarklet] to circumvent this restriction.
in an upcoming version of firefox, this functionality will also be built-in directly into the browser: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/12/24/firefox-29-save-fill-autocompleteoff-passwords/

Is there a way to force "desktop view" on my iPad 1 when using Safari?

Google, in their control frenzy, has now changed iGoogle to default to Tablet view on iPads. Why??? Here is one solution but it does not use Safari:
Question:
Is there a secret to getting the old igoogle homepage back, or is it gone for good on the iPad 2? I still have the homepage on my Mac, so the problem is just with the iPad. Any help anybody can give to get the home page back would be greatly appreciated.
Answer:This issue is with the Tablet view. You can switch to Classic view at the bottom, but as soon as you type anything in the url bar you get reverted to Tablet. I have the Atomic Browser installed on my iPad and have set it to identify itself as a desktop. iGoogle loads fine on that. I am not aware of any such setting for Safari on the iPad.
Google fails to understand that we do not need sub featured pages for our tablets. Tablets work fine with the desktop versions. They have probably concluded that iGoogle pages are too busy for tablets and so have disabled it. Tablet search has been significantly degraded by Goggle with elimination of the pinch and zoom and cached features. It should be possible to make a sticky setting change to Classic view on tablets. Most other settings stick, but not the Classic view. I dont think Google get it anymore.
Is there a way to force Safari ,on an iPad, to do this?

The website may alter its page display based on the browser ID that is transmitted to the site from your browser. Some browsers on the iPad like iCab allow you change the browser ID to something desktop-oriented. Safari does not provide this capability.

Force Safari to be like Firefox - Color Management

Hello all,
I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and Safari 6 is by far my favorite browser... until I noticed it's still "color-impaired" when it comes to using my wide gamut display. I've been forced to stick with Firefox (about:config hack for displaying untagged images as sRGB) and sadly it seems Safari is still behind in this regard.
Is there still no way to force OSX/Safari to treat untagged images as sRGB? The crayola tones are horrible.

Post your topic in the Mountain Lion community here.
That way you can get feedback from Mountain Lion users as well.

How do I force Safari to remember site logins/passwords?

Hi.
I'm using a new Mini running Mountain Lion and Safari 6.0.5. I installed the computer fresh, rather than migrating from my old computer (2007 Mini), as I was dragging a lot of dead weight in settings, preferences, and cache. Safari DID acquire my bookmarks from the cloud on first use.
I am frustrated that some of my registered websites/passwords have not been saved; they are not listed in the preferences. Is there any way to force Safari to store the sites? Is it possible to migrate ONLY those settings from my old computer?

Just in case there any outdated keychains ..
Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Type in the name of the sites you want Safari to remember passwords for then delete the current keychain for each one.
Back to Safari. Navigate to a site you deleted the old keychain for.
Login with your username and password. Click Yes when prompted to save that data to a new keychain.
To make sure Safari syncs Bookmarks with iCloud, open System Preferences > iCloud
Make sure Safari is selected.

Force safari to display standard website?

Is there a way to force safari on the iPad to display the standard web page rather than the mobile one? For instance, if I go to NBC.com, the page displays as a mobile page and I want it to display like it does on my desktop.
Thanks!

Download Atomic Web Browser. It's an incredible browser that has a lot of useful features. (No I don't work for the developer, but I got tired of Safari.) It has a feature so you can tell it to identify your browser as Safari desktop. Plus it's got an ad-blocker and has tabs for quick switching rather than waiting for Safari's eye candy. One thing that bugs me about Safari is that if you have multiple pages open, it reloads when you switch between them. Atomic doesn't seem to have that problem. Now, it does have some quirks; mainly it doesn't remember your last page open if you close the app. But, the developer takes user suggestions and it keeps getting better. A lot of folks on Macrumors recommend it.

Forcing a user's password to be expired

I am trying to test my customized change password page. I have updated the URL in the LS_CONFIGURATION table. How can I force a user to produce the change password page so I can test my customized change password page?

Also, is there a way to force the user's password to expire upon first successful login and likely force the user to change the pre-assigned password? This is a requirement on the customer's wishlist.
Chris, please let us all know if you get an anwer to your question. I can't be the only person who'd be interested.

Is there a way to force my iPad to shut down? I "slid" to turn off three hours ago. The "wheel" is still spinning in the middle of the screen.

Is there a way to force my iPad to shut down? I "slid" to turn off three hours ago. The "wheel" is still spinning in the middle of the screen.

Yeah, hold down the top Sleep button and the Home button simultaneously. Continue to hold until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider midway through this process, just keep holding both buttons down until the Apple logo appears -- it takes about 8-10 seconds. That should do a soft reset and fix your problem.

Phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on

hi,
phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on.
I purchaged it before one month onl. So i wont understand how it comes. Please help me. I am waiting for you reply.

"Your face is so ugly, it broke your phone!" Ha ha. Get it? How I was joking there? About your iPhone not working correctly after... <sigh>
But seriously, you said the situation only happens when you have been on a long call, so maybe the iPhone is just autolockng?

Forcing Safari to download a file

There is a file that I need to download several times a week. The file is auto generated by USPS, and contains postage labels as a pdf. Safari 3 does not appear to know what to do with the file. Safari 5 tried to print the file. I want to save the original file tho. Unfortunately, the file has a non-standard file suffix ("LabelGenerationServlet", which I have no control over).
In Safari 5, I tried downloading the sample postage label file from USPS. Safari 5 tried to print it. Doing a save as pdf from the print dialog saved a file that was almost, but not quite, identical to the original file. Mostly some fonts are not correctly represented by going thru the print services.
Is there any way to tell Safari to save the file, and not to try printing it ? I would even be happy if I could tell Safari to associate that suffix with Acrobat Reader.

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for the reply. Most (possibly all) of what that linked article talks about, I am already aware of.
I currently do use Firefox. For arcane reasons, the Firefox download (from USPS to my downloads folder) is 'fragile' (for lack of a better descriptive word). Firefox (based on months of observation) has some problem (possibly a code bug) when (a) the connection speed is slow and (b) the download is over https. Many times the Firefox download 'stalls', and never recovers. That forces me to cancel the download, and start from the beginning. In extreme cases, I have to get in the car and drive to the nearest available broadband hotspot, download the file, then come home and print it.
From a few test attempts, Safari does not have the same problem that I observe with Firefox (i.e. the Safari download of the file is not fragile). However, Safari will not allow me to save the original download file (instead forcing me to print it).
Hence my original question: How can I get Safari to simply download this file (with its atypical file extension) ? I need the original file, and not the pdf created by print services.

WORKAROUND - Found a Way to Force iTunes Match to UPLOAD

I wanted to let everyone know that after months of living with incorrect matches (mainly The Beatles in Mono), I've finally found a semi-easy workaround to force uploads. I haven't found this anywhere else, but if someone else has documented it, I apologize. I posted this onto one of the many threads regarding the issue quite some time ago (~ 6 months), but I wanted to make sure it was seen by as many as possible. (Sorry for the long post—skip anything you're not interested in! )
MY THEORY
The basis of this was noticing that there seemed to be discrete steps to the matching process (when adding via already-ripped FILES and not CD at least):
You add the files to iTunes
You can force a scan by right-clicking and selecting "Add to iCloud"
iTunes scans the new files
iTunes reports that it is sending the file data to Apple
iTunes waits for a "Matched" or "No Match" response from Apple
If the response is "No Match," then iTunes triggers the upload
After observing this for some time, I concluded that if (edited) files could be imported that would give a definite "No Match" result, there may be time in-between steps 4 and 6 to replace the files with the real ones (which had been triggering a false match in the past). To my delight, this worked. Here's what I did:
STEP-BY-STEP:
Deleted existing files from iTunes/iCloud, but kept the files on the computer. I then moved these to a different folder.
Took existing files and converted them with dBpoweramp. This will cost money but is well worth it if you are looking for a way to force an upload to iTunes Match. I converted them using the same AAC settings (this doesn't matter), but added the "reverse" DSP, which reverses the audio. This has been enough to foil iTunes into not matching the track, while ensuring that each file will contain unique audio data. This will be quick and painless, at least for the first time. I did it this way because it will retain all of the tags AND length of the file. iCloud will get the file length from this step, and will not change it afterward...so you probably want to use files of the same length as the real ones.
Now I have a copy of the files with audio gibberish but still having correct metadata, etc. I then put these files in my "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
Right-clicked on these files and selected "Add to iCloud." If you use "Sort Album" like I do, you can change it before this step and it will upload into iCloud with the correct sort information. If done afterward, it doesn't usually sort correctly on my iPhone.
After iTunes displayed the message "Sending information to Apple" (don't remember the exact message), I pasted the original (correct) files and replaced my audio gibberish files. It is important to note that the filenames must be the same, e.g. "01 Come Together.m4a" if a single-disc, or "1-01 Back in the USSR.m4a" if multidisc. iTunes will also truncate the file name at 36 characters (I believe) so this will all need to be done beforehand. I use various MP3tag actions that I'd be happy to share if anyone wants them. If you are starting with a file that has already existed in your iTunes library, this will already be done (provided iTunes is managing the library).
When Apple returns a "No Match" signal back to iTunes, it then begins to upload the files which I have just pasted.
This has worked for me 100% if doing the upload one time. In some rare cases, I may decide to EQ a file and then re-upload, or otherwise edit the file. Or perhaps I have more than one version (original/remastered, or original mix/remix) that I want to coexist in my library. In those cases, I have again utilized the dBpoweramp "VST Plug-in" DSP, where I use something like Freq Show to garble the audio. It is necessary for the garbled audio to be unique each time for this to work.
A FEW THINGS I HAVE LEARNED
If you delete a file and wish to re-upload it, you can use the same files from step 2 (provided you still have them) and iTunes will recognize them as the files previously uploaded. I am not sure how long this works, but your uploaded music remains in iCloud, though invisible, for some time — even if you selected "Delete from iCloud."
iTunes/iCloud evidently does use metadata (at least Album) to help determine if you've already uploaded a song within the same album. I ran into this when trying to test an EQ/level change I had made, and even though the audio content was completely different, iTunes would not upload or would flag as duplicate. If I altered the Album field in any way it would proceed. Other tags can be kept the same.
If you do have mono content, it is trivial to use the dBpoweramp "Channel Mapper" DSP to remove one channel during the conversion from lossless to AAC. The nice thing is, I encode with Nero AAC quality 0.65 (~250 kbps VBR) and this will reduce the file size significantly. There is no real advantage to keeping both channels, since you're doing a lossy conversion anyway. Sometimes the encoders (even very good ones) don't see the file as being mono, due to different artifacts and noise in the left and right channels. Or perhaps the mono tape was transfered with a stereo tape deck, etc. Try it yourself and see if it makes a difference. Also, iTunes will report the file as "mono" when you do "Get Info." I keep the FLAC disc image/tracks in stereo so it will exactly match the CD, but only encode one channel to lossy. If you know the source is mono for sure then there is no possible advantage to keeping both channels of a lossy conversion. (If you're not sure if the source is mono, use your favorite DAW, e.g. Audacity, to invert the phase of one channel before combining left and right. Once you do that, if all that is left is very low-level noise or other artifacts, then you know it is safe to encode as mono.)
IF YOU CARE ABOUT MASTERING
It is also worth noting that if you care about what mastering you have in your iTunes library, there is no other way I know of to guarantee you have the correct version in your iCloud library except to upload it. I found this out the hard way: I had a retail CD version of Paul McCartney's "RAM" album that was recently remastered. I put the CD in, added to my library, and iTunes Match quickly returned with "Matched" for all tracks. Some time later I was listening with headphones and noticed that some tracks had hardly any hiss at all, whereas others had a good amount of it. Since "RAM" is a rather hissy album, I investigated it against the CD and finally found that many of the tracks were being matched to other versions of the song (either from the earlier CD version or compilations with different mastering). So most of the tracks were hit with heavy noise reduction for the iCloud version. I had to follow this upload procedure to be sure that I got the right version. Purchasing the item(s) from the iTunes store would work also, but I had already paid $100 for the deluxe box set. This same problem occured with the Bob Dylan mono box. I was surprised to find that iTunes actually matched my mono versions to mono versions, and continued listening until one day the stereo version played on a certain track instead of the mono. So, even if the iTunes store has the mix/mastering that you are wanting to add to iCloud, the only sure way is to upload it (or purchase it from iTunes in the first place.) If given the choice going forward I would choose the latter, since I am not hung up on physical media and cannot tell a 256K iTunes store encode apart from a FLAC file in a double blind test (almost nobody can).
This has been bothering me for months. I'm really happy to be able to play my correct files on all my devices! For those of us who have unique versions or masterings of albums we prefer, this should be a workaround until Apple decides to give us a "force upload" option. I have tested this on Windows 7 primarily. Should work on any OS.
Hope everyone finds this useful!
Nick

I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there. With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do? I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart. I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail. Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly. I used audacity to reverse the audio.
ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks

Forcing Safari to open new links in a new tab

Without sounding cynical, I love Safari but have been using Chrome for several years because it behaves like "I" want...not like "Apple" wants. I keep hoping Apple will fix the remaining two quirks (for me anyway) that keep me from using it full time. One of them I can live without...the other I can't, but perhaps there's a way around it that someone here might know about.
1. I want EVERY link on which I click to always open in a new tab (or at least in a new window if it's coded to do that). Safari insists on opening almost every link in the same window I'm already in, forcing me to page back to get to where I started. I have the Tab Preferences set to "Open pages in tabs instead of windows AUTOMATICALLY" which is supposed to use the tabs, except where the link is coded to open a child window. BUT...this simply does not happen. I could change this preference to ALWAYS instead of AUTOMATICALLY but then I lose the child windows when they're supposed to open. Chrome does this perfectly...why can't Safari?
2. The only other thing is not fixable yet, but perhaps someday Apple will realize it (I've submitted it as a Safari suggestion already). When I open a page in Safari, why must I have to move my cursor to the address window? It's so amazing how Chrome as always opened with the cursor already positioned in the address window already...where else would you want it if you're going to open the browser and type something?
Anyway, it's the first item that really irks me, but perhaps it's just something I'm doing wrong. Thanks for any help.

Start by opening a Terminal window (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal). Enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
Restart Safari.
If you decide you want to change back, just re-enter the command but replace true at the end of the command with false.

How do I force Safari history to open in new tab instead of reusing current

By default, Safari reuses the current tab when opening the history results, which forces a reload of that page when history is closed. Is there a way to force history to open in a new tab of its own?

Is there any way to make this the default behavior without relying on a modifier key?

Is there a way to force color management ON in Flash Player 10

Here's my problem:
I have a wide gamut display (calibrated and profiled) and
with a wide gamut display, it is very important to have web
browsing (and ideally everything else) fully color managed, because
unmanaged colors get displayed horribly wrong.
Firefox 3 supports full end-to-end color management (when
switched on). It even wisely assumes sRGB for CSS color values and
untagged images. But of course, Firefox 3 can't control Flash
rendering and this makes it impossible to view web pages that
contain Flash with correct (or even near-correct) colors.
So is there a way to force Flash Player 10's color management
ON by default? I know it is probably not a good idea in many cases,
but in my case, it would work a lot better than having if off by
default.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.5.
