TS3048 How do I make sure my Mac activates Bluetooth on start-up?

Whenever I launch my Mac, Bluetooth is no longer "on" at start up, and does not recognize my wireless mouse, even though it is discoverable.

Hello:
Retet the SMC and PRAM. Bluetooth is "on" - unless you turn it off.

How do I make sure my Mac doesn't have Google cookies even after utilizing Firefox preference tools?

Last week for a short time Firefox was requiring me to enable third party cookies when visiting sites that previously didn't require 3rd party cookies. I contacted the sites and they never required 3rd party cookies to be enabled. I did detect and delete a Google cookie through Firefox preference/privacy routines.
Was there an interim release that fixed this in Firefox since I'm not required to enable 3rd party cookies? Can I be confident that I don't have undetected Google cookies in my Mac?
Thanks,
Tim S.

Google made some changes to their website last week, which were reverted a few days later.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
If you're running a MacBook with the lid closed, open the lid. Any difference?
Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

I'm totally new to iphone/ipod. I need help with the following:
1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes? After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option. Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution. But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
I only want to share music between our devices. I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
Thank you!

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)

How do I make sure my music will play when I burn a copy of a slide show?

How do I make sure my music will be included when I burn a copy of a slide show. I have made many many slide shows over the years with the music in perfect sync to the slides. I recently updated my iMac to OS 7. I did not want to do it because I heard it created issues with iPhoto. But because I had updated my iPhone and my iPad, and although I don't like OS 7 (the first time I have not liked an upgrade) I thought I could figure out how to solve problems/ differences. Well, this has me stumped. It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer. Does anyone have any ideas why this does not work, and what I have to do to ensure that the music I selected and added to the slide show using the settings did not burn along with the iPhoto slide show?

What is really your MacOS X version? iOS 7 is the operating system for iPhone, iPad, iPod.
But what versions are you using on your iMac? Have you upgraded to Mavericks, MacOS X 10.9.x and iPhoto 9.5.1, or are you using an earlier version?

How did you export the slideshow and burn the DVD?
To have the music play along with the slideshow, you need to export your Slideshow project as a video file - use the "Export" button below the Slideshow window and select a format.
Check, if the exported video does play well and the audio is present.
Then burn a video DVD using iDVD or Toast, or a similar program to burn video DVDs, see:

How do I make sure my mic is working?

I purchased a USB port Logitech mouse a few months ago and a relative accidently through away the box with the directions. How do I record vocals on the computer and how do i make sure the mic works?

Hi H_G, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!
If you go to System Preferences > Sound > Input you should be able to select the USB audio device, and then check if it is working by the movement of the 'Input level' bars when you adjust the Input volume slider.
The choice of audio application would depend on how you will use the recording, I guess - GarageBand may be ok - remember to check that the GarageBand audio input preferences are set to USB also.

Hi. how does one make sure photos have been uploaded to I cloud

trying to update to IOS 8 on my iphone 4s from IOS 7.1.2. cannot due to storage requirements. asking me to delete items. what should I do? most are photos how do I make sure they are now in cloud and can be safely deleted from phone storage.

Be very careful.
Only the last 1000 photos maximum are stored in iCloud and for a maximum of 30 days.
In the new version of iCloud Photo Library (which is in Beta) it will keep all photos, but you are not using that version yet as you need iOS 8 installed to do that.
The best thing to do is connect your iPhone to your computer and transfer the photos from the photo to your computer.
The instructions on how to do it are here:
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC

How can I make sure linked in contacts are only added once?

For some reason the linkedin contacts are appearing endlessly in my mac address book. Every time I delete they come back - Very annoying especially since I have to delete folders manually one by one. How can I make sure linked in contacts only added once? And how can I delete from mac address book in one go?

If you installed software from LinkedIn to synchronize the contacts, refer to the developer for support. Otherwise, how did you import the contacts?

How do I make sure wireless bridge is on *my* wifi network?!?

Suppose I have a wireless bridge from Linksys, which lets my network disk be on my home wifi network. It's set up to grab an address via DHCP. But, I'm thinking - my neighbor also has a wifi network. How do I make sure the disk is talking to my Linksyst router, not to others that may be in the vicinity? The router has a MAC address filter, and that's great but it's the wrong direction: how do I make sure my wireless devices aren't talking to other people's wifi routers?
Mike

To prevent your wireless devices from accidently connecting to a neighbor's system, you must set up wireless security.
You will need to enter the following information in both your wireless router and your wireless devices:
1) a unique SSID - this identifies your network
2) your chosen method of encryption
3) your encryption key
You should be able to set your "network disk" (or the bridge that it is using) to only connect to the wireless system that matches 1, 2, and 3 above.
For more on wireless security, see my previous post at:

EDiscovery_SharePoint 2013_After a set of content is placed on hold in a location, how do I make sure that anything added to the same location

Hi everyone,
After a set of content is placed on hold in a location, how do I make sure that anything added to the same location,that meets the filter (e.g. keyword) gets added to the hold automatically ?
Right now the only way I can do this is to take off the hold ,re-apply the filter to the source and then enable the hold. That isn't sustainable.

@arcycapa,
If you have a Mac, you can download iDentify2 (http://identify2.arrmihardies.com/). It is free. You can use that change or set your contentRating. If you are on Windows, there is a commercial tool called MetaX. or download a free command line tool called AtomicParsley from (https://bitbucket.org/wez/atomicparsley). Unzip the file and run this command (AtomicParsley "C:/Users/Home Videos/name of the file.mp4" --contentRating R) from the DOS prompt without the parenthesis. Please keep in mind the forward slash in the path name listed above. This would generate a temp file. You can rename the temp file to the original file name. Just a word of caution, please make a copy of your original file somewhere. Just in case.

Supposedly OSX Mavericks downloaded. I saw it downloading in launchpad. I left and came back and I guess it was all finished. How do I make sure it downloaded. I can't see any difference.

Supposedly OSX Mavericks downloaded. I saw it downloading in launchpad. I left and came back and I guess it was all finished. How do I make sure it downloaded. I can't see any difference. Also, I have a notice that I should upgrade Mac EFI Firmware 2.1. And I got a notice that my ILibrary has changed locations. I don't have an ILibrary.

Look in your Applications folder for Install Mac OS X Mavericks file.
Better be sure you straighten out those peculiarities on your system before you upgrade to Mavericks or you will likely find yourself with a botched system. Be sure to perform the EFI update before upgrading, too. Put all normal OS X applications and files where they belong. Otherwise, erase the drive first. (after the EFI update.)
