"Sure you want to quit Skype?"

Every time I quit Skype, it asks me if I am "Sure you want to quit Skype?", and I always check the "Do not ask me again" box, and hit "Quit" (which quits Skype).
And every time I go to quit Skype on a different occasion, it still asks me if I am "Sure you want to quit Skype?", even tho' I'd specified that it "not ask me again".
If that "Do not ask me again" command doesn't work, why include it? It's been there for many versions. . .
Thanks, in advance, for any light you can shed on this.
Solved!

Thanks, ruwim.
I found the config.xml, and the <General> tag, but was unable to locate any <ConfirmQuit> key, even when using a "Find" feature in my text editor. I guess that's what's causing the problem!
Skype has updated itself many times, on this computer, so evidently that isn't correcting the error. Should I manually ADD the <ConfirmQuit>1</ConfirmQuit> key to the config.xml file?
(By the way: there seems to be something amiss with this community.skype.com/t5/forums/ page -- every time I hit "Preview", I lose the post! This has always happened on other occasions when I've replied here. )

HELP!!! Message - (One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) How do I get this to stop?

I bought a new Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows 8, 64bit, i7 processor. Everytime I open iTunes and then close out, the following message occurs: (i-tunes message - One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) Then it starts counting down from 20 seconds unless I just click on the (Quit) button. How do I get this to stop? Please be specific, I am challenged when it comes down to computers.
Thank You

This was extremely annoying for me, also. I started uninstalling unneeded Sony applications to try to narrow down the problem. It turned out not to be a Sony application... it is some functionality built into the bluetooth driver software package by Broadcom. Uninstalling the bluetooth package (via the control panel) takes care of the problem. Itunes also boots up way quicker. But uninstalling it will remove features related to bluetooth and nfc. For me, that isn't an issue, since I don't use them. Since you said you're "computer challenged" I would probably just send an email to sony complaining about the problem. They'll get in touch with Broadcom eventually (the manufacture of the drivers) and get the problem fixed.
Side note: the Broadcom package is huge... nearly 1GB in size. Which is crazy. I can't imagine what it does considering the size of it. Entire operating systems can take up less storage. Also, I have no idea how it starts an itunes plugin without placing it into the standard plugin directories.

Safari will not quit. Message are you sure you want to send a form again?

I am running an imac with OSX 10.5.8 with Safari Veriosn 5.06(5533.22.3).
I have an RV web Site up and cannot quit Safari. The RV web site does not show the x at the top left but only the - and the +.
There is a Message saying "Are tyou sure you want to send a form again" options are Cancel or Send. I have tried both and the message does not go away.
I have tried to quit Safari by pressing the command and Q Key and also by selecting Safari on the top bar and choosing quit Safari, without any luck.
Have also tried to logout and a shutdown but it comes up with a message "The application Safari canceled logout to try again, quit Safari and choose logout from the Apple Menu." I have tried this with no luck in quiting Safari. I am using Firefox to post this message as my Safari is locked.
Any help would be appreciated in how to gracefully quit Safari without hitting the power button.
Thanks...

Found the solution.
1. Key in Command Tab
2. Select the Application
3. Press the following keys at the same time (Command-Option-Esc) and Select Force Quit.

How to turn off this blankety-blank message??

Hi ...
I followed your instructions, went back a page but no warning on Safari. Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Are you sure you want to change the extension from... BLOCKS Finder Editing

This is weird and is driving me nuts, but some Macs do not allow further Finder editing of file or folder names if I change their names (usually including numbers, dots and so on) in such a way that I receive the warning:
Are you sure you want to change the extension from..?
After I confirm that I want to change the name, the Finder does it but gets locked for editing (I can do other things) and does not allow any further file or folder editing until I force quit of Finder or reboot the Mac.
I have found that if right after confirming that I want to change the name I select the file and hit return (which selects its name), no problem arises. But I must do it in one or two seconds, or else it will be too late.
IN SUMMARY:
1. Change file or folder name including numbers and dots at the end.
2. Get the message "Are you sure you want to change the extension from..."
3. Confirm that I want to change the name.
4. FROM NOW ON, I CANNOT CHANGE THE NAME OF ANY FILE OR FOLDER UNTIL I FORCE FINDER QUIT. Unless of course I do the trick indicated above real quick!
Any hint? Any way to know what is going on? This could be a bug of Mac OS X 10.4.x or earlier or a problem with a third party application. But how to know what is going on to prevent it? As said, some Macs show this issue, but not others.
Note: some related issues on this section searching for:
Finder Loses Keyboard Input
or
Sure change extension
For instance:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1974048
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1466505
Hint: some file or folder name changes are more prone to cause the issue than others. For instance, renaming a folder (and confirming it) as:
Testing.r00
brings the bug 100% of the times.
Any idea of what is going on? Thanks.

The message is a warning that you are doing something that the OS thinks is going to possibly cause a problem. You are creating the situation and the OS is doing nothing other than what you are asking it to do.
I don't know any exact answer why you can't access your files, but I do know that there are a few characters and things that will cause problems because they mimic names of invisible files. When you make a name that is close to being the same it can treat the file as the special one... meaning you can only access it via Terminal.
Ones you cannot use at all: the colon (:), slash (/), single or double period as first characters. (taken from Finder Help with a naming files search) It is best to stay away from any special characters as a rule. Also avoid using a period and 3 character suffix unless it is one that you are purposefully assigning so the file belongs to an application.
That said... even with the over 200 applications on my system I couldn't repeat your Testing.r00 problem. So, I don't know if it may be application related or not.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab.
At the bottom of that pane, deselect: Ask before sending a non-secure form from a secure website
Relaunch Safari.
If setting it in preferences doesn't help, launch the Terminal app (Applications/Utilities)
Type in this command exactly as you see it here. You may be prompted for your admin password.

Quit the Terminal application and launch Safari.
If at some time you want to change this command back, type in the same command but at the end
type in: YES

The question "Are you sure you want to delete appeared (I don't) and no place to cancel or say no. Everything else frozen.

The inquiry "are you sure you want to delete the album..." appeared. I don't want to delete, but there is no place to cancel or say no. The rest of the system is frozen. How do I get out of this?

What version of iPhoto and system are you ruinning? Is this occurring within iPhoto? If iPhoto is frozen then use the  ➙ Force Quit (Command+Option+Escape key combination) menu option to force quit out of iPhoto.

Sometimes I, by accident, click on the X and close out ALL of my tabs that were open. A box used to come up asking "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CLOSE ALL TABS?" Now, it just closes them all and I lose all my tabs that I had open. Is there a way to fix that?

You can set the warn prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page to <b>true</b> via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.

That does not look like an iPhoto command, much more like a Finder one.
Use the Force Quit command. It's under the Apple Menu.

HT1414 When I hit restore a file menu from my computer pops up and I am not sure what file to put in to get my iphone to restore from. I don't get the box that says are you sure you want to restore. So how do I get it to restore so I can see if this fix

I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front. This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out. I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists. I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone. I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page. A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone. I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone. I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)? Thanks

I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current. Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.
Here is a picture of what I get

When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already. Then you will have two computers authorized. Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time. If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library. Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct. But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

Message "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now"

I am in OS 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro. I get repeated message upon start-up "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" Restarting does not stop the message. Nor does canceling it. It keeps occuring, blocking my ability to do applications. Because it comes to the front all the time, and the "shutdown" button is lit, if I inadvertently hit a return key while typing something else, the computer shuts down. I have a western digital backup disk-dismounting that has no effect. I have also run the disk utility permissions repair a few times to no avail.
Thanks for any advice.

This might happen if your power button is malfunctioning. Remember a slight tap of the power button will bring up that screen. Bring it in for service if it is readily reproducible.

Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time.

These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
          Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
          Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
          Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
          Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
          Advantages: All images should be preserved.
          Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.
