Suggestion for developers of Safari

I switch back and forth from Safari to Chrome but have spent much more time on Safari. There is a feature in Chrome that I think would be useful to Safari users. There is a new tab link at the end of the url window. If, in Chrome, I want to open a bookmark, I can just drag the bookmark title to that tab link and the page opens. In Safari, as far as I know, the only quick way to bring up a different bookmark is to press "control T". Which requires an extra step. In Chrome, I don't have to do anything other that drag with the cursor.

I hate to be the one to inform you that the N9 and Meego have both reached the end of the line. One of my all time favourite phones and still using mine daily but just biding time before I call time on it.

  • Suggestions for Developers of the Playbook

    So after a year of trying to come up with a good reason to buy one, I finally went out and purchased a playbook last week. There are certain things about the device, certain problems, that are not apparent when you're futzing with them in the store. The real problem with the playbook is the complete lack of context menus. All the other blackberry device have it (click the Rim Icon to the left of your touchpad now). The lack of this context menu eliminates an enormous number of functions that would make this device sing. For one...a big one apparently...photos. If there was a context menu in the photos app, you could simply select a folder or a photo and manipulate it, rename it, send it (email, bluetooth, facebook, twitter), print it (that's another feature I'll get to). Pretty much all of the media types on the Playbook could benefit from this.
    How do you implement a context menu you might ask...simple...copy what you already have done with the Torch and Bold. Program the OS to show a context menu for an item when a finger is placed and held over said item for an extended period of time.
    Rim is touting blackberry devices as tools not toys, but the playbook is neither. It's media apps are not robust enough to compete with toys like the Ipad, it needs a more interfaced connection to social media apps, bluetooth and email, a unified interface for media files and better streaming so it can stream content to smart displays (we have a Smart Tv in our boardroom and I can't get the playbook to share at all...although I'm sure someone will pipe up with a way to do it). It's business connectivity apps are not robust enough to compete with the Blackberry smartphones. This device needs native vpn  and the ability to be able to browse networks, manipulate folders and files easily and natively with context menus, and print...yes...print. It's a no brainer...even my digital camera can print directly to a printer...universal printer drivers exist.
    I want a business tablet...Rim is the only company out there promising one. So far the only thing my PB has done well is showcase photo's for a presentation (not to the boardroom display unfortunately) and Angry Birds...which I have wasted entirely to much time playing.

    And native power management. Something simple, like a setting to allow the device to warn when it reaches 10% battery and shutdown when it reaches 5%. Within the first three days I was subjected to the no charge-no ability to charge problem.

  • Suggestions for new apps-where?

    I have had fun at the app store. Today I thought about an app I would like to see; and wonder where we can post suggestions for developers??

    You can send feedback/feature requests directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback

  • Does anyone have any suggestions for Ad blocking? I'm getting a lot of pop up ads while using Facebook from Safari.

           I'm getting a lot of pop up ads. mostly while using  Facebook. I'm running Safari on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Does anyone have any suggestions for an Ad blocker. I don't see anything in the App store.
          I can't swear to it but I don't recall this being a problem pre-Yosemite. I could be wrong. I haven't been real active on Facebook until recently. I see some third party apps out there but am alway wary of non approved software.
         Thanks

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Suggestions for new router/switch

    I have a wired Ethernet network in my office, and have been using a Linksys BEFSR81 router with it since installation. The following machines are connected:
    MacPro early 2009 OSX.5.7
    G5 2.0 dual OSX.5.7
    iMac flat panel 700 mHz OSX.4.11 (2 identical machines)
    HP 2300n printer
    Brother multifunction printer/fax/copier
    The router is dying and needs to be replaced. The whole network is hard wired but I could use a wireless router (e.g. Linksys WRT310) with a switch (I need at least 6-7 ports total. The selection of wired-only routers is very limited; what would people suggest for replacing the Linksys BEFSR81?

    Check these pages out first on how to install. NOTE, to look for the"GL" version, as the G, GL, GS, GX are all on the same page.
    http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation
    http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54G/GL/GS/GX
    http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Index:FAQ
    For the GL, you need to flash 2 firmwares initially in the beginning.
    You first need to flash a mini generic (or micro); just go with mini, to the router first. Then after the mini is installed, flash the standard generic.
    To easily find the right versions. Go to the dd-wrt homepage, and then look for the tab that says "supported hardware". Click on that and type in: WRT54GL (which is your router name, the one I recommended). The model GL model will show up, and click on it. There you will have all the firmwares that can be used with the WRT54GL.
    There are a few different ones, but the ones you need to download are the "mini generic" AND "standard generic" (non-usb standard generic, if you're connecting through ethernet. Only if you use usb to connect to the internet then the usb version). Look at the file name to confirm.
    Flash mini first, then standard second. And you only have to do this once.
    Make sure to read through the above installation guide carefully, and just basically take your time. Some things to look out for are mainly just 2 things:
    (1) Doing 30/30/30 hard-resets before AND after flashing.
    (2) Use Internet Explorer to do the initial flash. DO NOT use firefox (maybe not even safari). This is only for the initial flash with the linksys firmware on. Once dd-wrt firmware is on, any browser will do. This is in the install guide, but basically any PC with IE will do fine. If you don't have access to a PC, you can even use the "old" IE for mac. That will work too.
    Again just take your time, read things, and double check them. It's actually a very easy process after you've done it once.

  • What kind of antivirus do you suggest for mac OS X Maverics?

    What kind of antivirus do you suggest for OS X Maverics?

    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Any Suggestions for CGI Script for Web Slide Slow?

    Do you have any suggestions for creating a slideshow for my web site, 6 same-size jpgs that rotate automatically?
    I think I prefer a cgi script. However, I've tried two that don't work on Firefox or Safari. One developer tells me that he can see the rotating photos.
    I'm also open to software to create this. However, I'd prefer to use html code.
    Of course, it must work cross platform.
    Any suggestions?
    G5 Quad; Mini Mac; PowerBook G3; iPods   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Using Dreamweaver 8

    Oh, what a beautiful baby! Is he/she yours?
    She is mine. At least that's what the Mrs. tells me!
    When you say gif, I am assuming that you mean the
    format really must be gif and not jpg. Is that
    correct?
    Yes, the file is a GIF file. It's actually an animated GIF file, meaning that the images that you see are all frames of animation in a single GIF file. There are a lot of apps out there that can create animated GIFs. I happen to use Adobe ImageReady because that is what is on the hard drive.
    Can you give me a hint about the dithering issue? Do
    I dither or not dither, that is the question.
    This is the major downside of the GIF format. It is a really old format...from back in the CompuServe bulletin board days...maybe older. Anyways, it is my understanding that GIFs can only hold information for 256 colors....any 256 colors, but no more and no less. So now in the days of "millions of colors" jpegs, you can imagine that a 256 color palette is limiting. But if the colors of your images are sufficiently close, its possible that 256 colors makes for perfectly acceptable images across all images. This is the one variable of converting images to GIF that can make it or break it for you. If your image has a pretty broad tonal range...like fleshtones or any other gradient...then 256 colors is going to represent things poorly. Then you will get dithering artifacts which is like averaging errors...colors are close...as close as possible...but not close enough to make a smooth gradation. Anyways, that's my layperson's understanding.
    But for some images, it looks just fine.

  • Suggestions for PSE 11 Organizer

    Greetings from a new member. Not sure how to post some usability suggestions for PSE 11 Organizer, but here goes... I realize others have already posted similar comments, which triggered further discussions. However, my intent is just to bring these simple, but to me important, suggestions to the attention of the developers of PSE 11.
    I have used PSE on Windows XP starting with PSE 4, then PSE 7, and very recently PSE 11. Earlier this year, I switched to a Mac OS X system and transferred my photos and PSE 11 catalog to PSE 11 on the Mac. I followed the backup/restore instructions on the PSE support site and am mostly quite happy with the results. However, I’m disappointed that the following usability features of PSE 7 organizer are missing in PSE 11 organizer (on both Windows and OS X). Note that I plan to use PSE on OS X exclusively from now on.
    In PSE 7, when right clicking on one or more selected photos, the popup menu listed “View photos in full screen”, but it no longer does so in PSE 11. Although Full Screen is available on the View menu, having it on the popup would be even more useful.
    In both PSE 7 and PSE 11, that same right-click popup menu lets you REMOVE selected photos from an album. It would be great if the popup menu would also let you ADD selected photos to an existing album.
    In PSE 7, I could display the album list simultaneously with folder hierarchy/tree view (there was no folder list view in PSE 7). In PSE 11, the album list is visible only with folder list view. This makes it impossible to drag photos to an album from folder hierarchy view. Please fix PSE to display the album list simultaneously with folder hierarchy view.
    I suggest that the default folder view be folder hierarchy (not folder list). Or even better, let the user choose the default folder view in Preferences.
    Starting with PSE 4, I organized my thousands of photos in several main folders and hundreds of subfolders. Many subfolders have the same name, and frequently the subfolder name is a date. Because the PSE 11 folder list view doesn’t show the hierarchical context, folder list view is just clutter and completely useless for me. As recommended in other posts, I do intend to start using tags/events/places and other suggested ways to organize my photos. However, this will be in addition to (not instead of) using folders. I like organizing my photos in folders, just as I like organizing my other files (text, spreadsheet, etc.) in folders. Also, categorizing photos via tags, places, events, etc. is not equivalent to, and does not replace, using folders. For me, categorizing in this manner is an additional usability feature to using folders.
    Thanks for listening...

    My own answer will be about :

    The fact is that the Organizer has been built historically on a database to manage keywords and categories with some additional tools to enable folder browsing and managing. Note that for other types of applications like word processors or spreadsheets, you have the same choice with using keywords or folder structures.
    So, where are we in version 12 ? From what I am reading today, I'll risk a few guesses.
    - I am convinced that most people relying like you on folder organization don't use the Organizer or have given up using it.
    - A great part of the critiques about the Organizer come about people not understanding the idea of catalogs and categories/keywords (I know that is not your case)
    - Anoter great part of the critiques is that the implementation of folder organizing in Elements has aliways been lame and buggy.
    What's new in PSE12 is that the folder view has been completely rebuilt. And the result is perceived differently depending on your camp : database or folders...
    - For Folder tenants, the result is two-sided. They are happy to have the folder view with all trees back - They don't see the point of the folder list - They are not happy with the new interface based on new categories (people, events...) - They miss the link between albums and folders as you have mentionned
    - For database tenants, the main advantage is that a lot of bugs have been corrected and that they can use the folders view and folder list as a secondary tool for organizing. The folder list (a feature I had requested) is a great tool for those wanting to migrate from a folder organization to a database one. Usually, the folder names are significant and enable very fast keywording and constitute a powerful search tool.
    - For both camps, the common grudge is the loss of alphanumerical sort order in folder view. I don't care personnally, but I think it's necessary for people working on scans.
    So, my wish is that the next version of the Organizer can satisfy people like you,so that much more people use and are happy with the Organizer

  • Software update question for iTunes and Safari

    Preface -
    I only use the software update in the Apple to check for new software, then download it manually and install it following all the directions so carefully specified here by many of you good folks.
    So, first some the rhetorical questions - How much does SU check? Does it look at other Apple apps running at the same time? Does it check OS (it must!)? Does it look to see if what it suggests needs to be updated is compatible with what is there?)
    Background information -
    I have Safari 3.2.3. Since Safari doesn't work for me and I never use it, I have not updated it. Several of you told me not to bother updating Safari since v4x probably wouldn't work if 3 doesn't (what doesn't work is I can't quit without force quitting and there appears to be no fix).
    The latest SU tells me new versions of iTunes - 9.0.3 - and Safari - 4.0.4 - are available. I am running iTunes 7.7. According to the download page, iTunes 9 has to have Safari 4.
    The questions -
    So, why does SU tell me updates for iT and Safari are available without specifying that I MUST do both updates and do them so that Safari 4 is in place before I update iTunes (or iTunes will die?) Note - I never visit the iTunes store; I just use iTunes to transfer to my iPod my own CDs which I've copied onto the computer in lossless.
    Since, I never use Safari anyway, will it cause any difficulty if I DO do the update to 4 and just let it sit in a folder unused as 3.2.3 sits there doing nothing? OR does iTunes USE Safari to access the library of CD track info when it makes suggestions for labeling tracks on CDs I've downloaded to my library?
    I hope this makes sense, I fear I am rambling on here...
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Mrs H

    Dear Kappy,
    First of all, thank you for tackling my issue with Safari. I have to begin by saying it was intermittent, but Mr H and I have just stopped using Safari. I just tried it and it was fine - but I don't know how long that will last.
    And, by the way, we have the same issue occasionally for all three of our Tiger Macs - I have reinstalled OS, done the combo reinstall - OS plus Safari (I believe that's the term - combo?; it's been a while and I can't remember exactly what I was instructed here to do - but I did it).
    You probably won't want to read all of this, but since you have been so kind as to jump onboard my Safari issue, here are the links to the 2 _very long_ threads, (part one and two), describing my issues with Safari:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1986914&tstart=0
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2037950&tstart=0
    Plus the third installment:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2097007&tstart=0
    Klaus1 was ever so patient and the final advice, I believe, was - just don't use Safari. It was a memory hog - using what looked like even more than 100% of memory - which made no sense - and it just wouldn't allow me to quit without force quitting. Everything else works just fine...or so it seems to me and has done so for ages (except that we've been gone for several months so I can't count that...)
    Do you suggest doing this first?
    Kappy wrote:
    My guess is you have corrupted preference or cache files. Perhaps clearing out cache files and deleting related preference files may fix the problem.
    I'm sure I was instructed to do this and have done so, but I'll gladly do it again. How to delete pref file? and will they rebuild?
    Then can I do this suggestion of "deleting the latter 2" mentioned below, without learning how to open a new account - I used to know, but have gone brain dead on this... - or should I do this too? And, deleting them - will they rebuild?
    Possibly in the /Home/Library/Safari/ folder or a problem with the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist file or /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ folder. Start by deleting the latter two.
    Should someone move this discussion over to Safari?
    Thank you again for offering your help here,
    Mrs H

  • Does anyone have any suggestions for password protecting e-mail on the i pad?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for password protecting e-mail on the i pad?  Other people sometimes want to use my i pad but I don't want them to have access to my e-mail (which is on AOL)
    Presently you can password protect the whole i pad by having to put in a 4 digit code to open it, but once it's open whoever is using it has access to everything you have on it.

    Skydiver...that did it!!  I shut the mail app from automatically opening and now I can sign onto my AOL acct. through Safari!!  I had called Apple Care and had asked  different peope in Apple stores about this and no one but you had any suggestions!  YAY!!  Thanks!!!

  • Suggestion for modification in iphone

    I would like iphone to read pdf files, and save ebooks in my iphone, for example: student medicine, i like save books in mi pda,

    You can read pdf files on the iPhone, if they have been sent to you in an email, or if you look them up in Safari. That is how I refer to the iPhone User guide from the Apple site.
    eBooks can be a problem, because sometimes, as is done by my college library, they are downloaded as Windows Media files, and they have specific DRM. They also have an expiration date to them. You check them out just like a library book. They, meaning the particular ones from my libraby, can't be used on an iPod, or iPhone.
    I read a post in the past week about someone downloading audio books from CD into iTunes and syncing them. I can't remember it exactly, but if you search the discussions you should find it. Use audiobook as a search topic.
    Otherwise, making suggestions for modifications is done through their feedback page, www.apple.com/feedback
    Hope this helps you.

  • Suggestion for Apple Mail

    I don't use Apple Mail regularly myself, but here's a suggestion for email client developers everywhere. Maybe some clients already do this?
    I've lost count of the number of times that I've sent an email off but forgotten to attach a file. Or the number of times I've received an email absent of an intended attachment.
    What about this? The email client looks for the word 'attach', 'attachment', 'attachments', etc, and if there is no attachment, the system pops up an alert asking the user "Are you sure you don't want to attach a file to this email?". Obviously the alert could be suppressed via preferences. I know this won't solve the problem entirely, but my guess is that a great many emails that are sent with an attachment include the phrase "I attach" or "Attached is", something like that.
    Payment gratefully accepted for this worldwide convenience and efficiency gain!
    Cheers, Steven

    Steven, don't tell us about it. We are just other users (with rare exceptions). We can't do anything about your suggestion. Go to the Mac OS X tab above and then Tiger and then Feedback and then give feedback about Mail. The Mail developers are more apt to see it then, but posting in the user-to-user technical help discussions the developers are not likely to see it.

  • Mathematical and statistical challenge for developers

    Hi guys, a mats/statistical question. I've been asked to make a calculation in SQL (it's more fun that really job..to be honest it's only fun...anyway..) with a situation like this:
    38 events ( basketball games). You can  bet in more than, we can say, 100 points or less than 100 points. So you got 76 possibilities. If we decide to bet in 10 events more (IT WOULD BE ALWAYS MORE,
    OVER) how much is the possibility to win with the different percentage ( I call percentage the over, so the minimun is 10 events more. Of course if you got 38 event OVER the percentage is 100% and you are sure to win).
    So far it hard but it become harder if you play for example 25 bets splitting all the events ( that's means for each game the same number of the overall bet). Of course you cannot just summarize the probabilities but you have to come up with a statistical
    solution...
    Any suggestion for the step one and eventually also for the step two?
    Thanks ( I repeat, it's for funny but it's a challenge for developers..)

    Ok Stefan you're right I should have gone you more clues, but meanwhile I'm working...anyway I accepted the challenge..and thank you a lot to follow this fun situation ( the deadline is tomorrow at 8.00 am Greenwich time..) 
    Or do you mean each event results in one of two results:
    p(n) aka "over 100"
    q(n) aka "under 100 or equal"
    I mean exactly this, or yes (over 100.5 points) or not (under 100.5 points).
    I'm going to explain better the concept of the bet
    A B C D E F G H I L M.....till 38 letter.
    My bet A C D F G H I L M N ( I'm predicting the event that all these matches will be over 100.5).
    The script shoud retrieve the possibility to win having:
    38 matches over 100.5 on 38 total matches
    37/ 38
    36/38
    and so on. So far I calculated the right percentage of the events from 38 (over)/38 (total) till 10(over)/38(total).

    Now I should calculate the possibility to have 10 right on 38 matches over 100.5 ( 100% of course), 10 right on 37 over 100.5 and go on...
    Sorry if I'm not total clear but I'm running in different tasks..
    KALMAN I don't have so far any code I'm trying to come up with a solution and yes...it's fun
