Stopping auto refresh on iphone

i've got an iphone 3G white,
i like to read news stories or photography tips on my iphone (using the web browser) and when i stop in the middle of a story either because of a phone call or break is over i just leave the story/tip up on its own page because i want to come back to it...
when i do get back to the story/tip, i select the page i want but then the page refreshes when i select it, grrrrrrr!!!! now i have to wait because im now in EDGE coverage :P :P :P
is there any way to stop that refresh action when selecting an old webpage???
thanks

but on nytimes, macrumors, and maclife, they all refreshed the instant i touched each one
i even went to just two safari pages and closed one so that the only page left would come up automatically and the remaining page still refreshed
what is your secret??
and with some testing with a 3GS, this problem seems to be much less/non-existent
note on the 3GS- i didn't activate airplane mode either, it keeps the pages, hmmm
3G- pages refresh the instant i go back to it
3GS- keeps the page until you refresh it (even if going back to it more than once)

How can I stop auto refreshing a new web page in XP immediately after its opened?

In XP, once I access a new web page Firefox auto refreshes that page once the page is ~80-90% opened - how can i stop this refresh?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Can I make Safari stop auto-refreshing?

When I use Safari on my iPad, I sometimes find that when I change the tab I'm viewing, it sometimes automatically refreshes the page. I don't see any pattern, it just seems to be random. It can get annoying at times, like when I'm typing things in, and having to use more than one tab, for example, research, etc. So anyways, is there a way to make it stop automatically refreshing?

Hmm... It seems I can't get that to resolve at all on the mac. Not a Safari specific thing. I tried to ping it in terminal and get "Cannot resolve.."

Sync error stops auto-refreshing pages

web pages that automatically refresh, stop doing so when FF7 Sync can't connect to the server. A box is displayed at the bottom of the screen explaining that a recent sync failed, but this also stops any pages that refresh automatically.

Thanks for the link to this particular thread, Tbilisoft. The one started by Pierregy was especially interesting, since many people obviously get this error and have had varying levels of success with it.
I actually already knew about the "delete Intellisync folder" fix because Blackberry phone support had given me that as a final thing to try, if downloading and installing the latest DM 4.7 didn't work. After deleting Intellisync, I would be fine for one sync, maybe two, then I'd be back to errors that kept me from completing a sync.
That was a real pain, because I had to keep reconfiguring my sync every couple days. Also, in doing this, I sometimes forgot to remove the Task relationship for Start Date between the device and Outlook, which creates another problem -- Tasks would suddenly get weird dates for decades in the past/future after my sync. This "delete Start Date relationship in Config/Tasks/Advanced" fix does work, BTW, in case anyone reading this thread ever has that problem.
For me, the final fix (hopefully) was that I had a couple of Outlook meeting dates where the creator of the meeting had change just one instance of that meeting and all users' calendars were updated. I realized that the same couple meetings kept reappearing for me to reject/accept during sync, so I went to my calendar and deleted those meetings' series, replacing them with a new, "clean" recurring meeting from the current time forward. That finally (and again, hopefully) got my sync running more consistently.
Thanks, all, and happy sync'ing! ~ aagg03

Using Excel 2007 to display and auto-refresh planning.

Hi all,
a customer wants to display a simple planning screen on a 24" monitor.
We're using an old domain pc, with domain user (planning) logged on to display the planning file.
We've configured the worksheet so that multiple users can edit it.
I've also found the settings which auto-update the file. I was amazed that this is standard functionality.
Although, it doesn't work as we expected. It goes well, but when too much users work in the file, some users still get the error message: 'can't open file because it's already in use'.
This does NOT happen when the file is not constantly opened by the 'planning user'.
So that's one issue, probably caused by the 'planning user', having the file opened 24/7.
Another issue is that the file stops auto-refreshing after a while. I didn't find any pattern in that.
So basically, what the customer needs is:
Display Excel worksheet
Auto-refresh
I've found some nice articles about SharePoint and Excel services, but unfortunately they're running SharePoint 2010 Foundation, which does not include Excel services...
Is there any other way or tool to achieve this, without using the Excel-built-in options?
Or maybe there's a fix for that problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi LunAds,
I'm afraid you have just discovered how bad these features are implemented in Excel: they just don't work properly and I always advise against using them for any serious long-term solution.
If you do not have Excel services, then editing the document on the server (which would prevent lots of problems) is out of the question indeed.
Alternatives depend a lot on your needs.
For example, you could use sharepoint lists that the users can edit and then import those lists into Excel for reporting purposes.
But if this is relational data (parent-child tables, which is very often the case) then a database solution is probably the best route to take.

Is there anyway to stop the auto-refresh when using HsGetValue?

Hi there
I am just wondering if there is a way to stop the automatic refresh when opening a workbook that has HsGetValue functions? The issue I am having is that when you create a report in Smart View using the HsGetValue function, save it down, disconnect from Smart View then open it up again, it automatically tries to refresh the data. If you do not type your login, it just changes to #NEED REFRESH and you cant see the data anymore. This only happens when you have Smart View installed, if you are on a vanilla computer you can see the numbers no problems.
The reason we dont want it to refresh is that we want to be able to view data at a point in time, instead of always refreshing to the latest data.
I know that I can stop the refresh by changing Excel to Manual Calculation, instead of auto-calculation on formulas, but this isnt a viable solution as users arent used to manually pressing the Calculate button in Excel for their non Hyperion work.
We are using 11.1.1.3 Planning and Essbase.
Thanks!

See this post Smart view first refresh
Aside from turning auto-calculation off, you would need to copy the cells and paste them as values to get a static worksheet. This will eliminate any future refreshes.

Find My iPhone - auto refresh

Is it possible to auto refresh "Find My iPhone". This would allow me to use it as a tracking application and help my wife NOT get lost again!
Thanks

Yes. With the location dispalyed on the map, click the Refresh arrow/circle in the upper left box to the right of My Devices.
And as KT said, Find my Friends might work better for you.
Or maybe a Garmin Nuvi for your wife?

Stop Dreamweaver auto refreshing files

Dreamweaver auto refresh of files is causing an issue with our cloud storage. If we don't save every few minutes, we loose all our changes because Dreamweaver reloads the previous saved version of the file. How can I stop this?
This doesn't usually happen on a computer, because Dreamweaver is aware that the file you're working on is the same as the one on the drive. However for some reason it doesn't realise this on the cloud, and so it reloads the old version, overwriting all of your changes.
Thanks
Nicola

The setting isn't there.
Its under Preferences -> File Types -> Reload Modified Files.
There is no general setting for "site manager", its labeled "site".
At least not in the Edit -> Preferences, under Site you can get to manage sites.
but as I said I don't use that part, and neither does dreamweaver when no sites are configured.
Setting "Reload Modified Files" to never fixed my issue.
Thanks... your post did help me find the correct location.

Disable Auto-Open when iPhone connected?

I can't seem to make iTunes stop opening when my iPhone is connected, and it's driving me nuts....
Anyone know where to find that?

Found it!
It's the "Auto-sync checkbox" in iTunes...the wording wasn't what I expected, as I'd like my iPhone to auto-sync, but NOT throw iTunes on my desktop...oh well, it's off now. Thanks!

Itunes 10 will not stop auto syncing

I have itunes 10 on a mac and a 160 gb ipod classic.
it will not stop auto syncing when I plug in my ipod, even though "do not auto Sync" button is checked as well as checking off "do not open itunes automatically.
It syncs FOREVER. I would love to find a way to stop this from happening. I dread plugging in my ipod to put on new music etc.

I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

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.

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?

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.
