Using Firefox8 in Ubuntu - Webpages that I bookmark are never saved in the Bookmark list.
I've been using Firefox on Windows for years without any trouble. Now on Ubuntu and using Firefox. I was able to save two urls to the Bookmark list but now find that any url that I want to bookmark does not get bookmarked or listed in the Bookmark category. I have tried various methods, but to no avail.
Did you recently update your system hardware, such as replacing a hard drive and restoring data from a read-only device (CD-ROM) that would result in read-only files that can't be updated. That and additional problems are mentioned in

I am trying to confirm the time at which a particular backup occurred using an external hard drive that I have since misplaced. Although time machine lists the backup times for some backups, it does not list them for all, including the one in question. Can someone help?
Okay, I've sussed it. I saw a link to another discussion that hadn't turned up in any of my searches before I posted the question above.
My Tosh HDD was formatted to FAT 32 and therefore would not be backed up by Time Machine. I removed all data from it - nightmare as I hadn't enough space to put it on the macbook HDD, but, after trawling through numerous photos and deleting rubbish for hours, I finally made enough space and copied all data across. Then, after clearing the data from the Tosh HDD, I used disk utilitity to reformat it to Mackintosh OS Extended. Chose the option without kournalling because I'm not baking up onto this disk and so don't need it - according to some other discussions I found.
When it was done I check on time machine in system prefs and once I selected options, I was able to remove it from the excluded from backups list. Hey presto. Now I'm moving my photo library and my music library onto the Tosh HDD and my macbook should start to breath again. Hurray. -
I deleted the photos from my iPhone 6 that were synced from my computer automatically but it is still using my storage. How do i fix that? I have tried all of the steps listed in the community.i have the new iTunes 10.
Hi QuisB123,
If you are having an issue with reclaiming free space after deleting photos from your iPhone, use the steps in this article to assist -
If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Specifically -
Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Pop Up blocker exceptions are not saved in the browser for use, the next time the PC reboots. How do you save these exceptions for long term use?
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Site Preferences
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-browsing-search-and-download-history
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
If you have software like Advanced SystemCare (Surfing Protection feature) that might reset some files to older versions to protect these files against changes then check the settings or uninstall this software. -
I noticed my hard drive getting filled, didn't save 500 Gb of data on it. I made the observation that hidden files are been created on the Hd. I assumed they were unnecessary and deleted most of them. To my dismay am getting a kernel panic message. How do i go about getting this fixed?
Depending on what directory or directories you were erasing from you've certainly erased important system files and perhaps important applications files as well. If you have been using TimeMachine to back your computer up you should reboot into recovery mode (restart and hold Command + R until you see the Apple icon) and perform a restore.
If you haven't, boot into recovery mode anyway and choose the install OS option. Keep your fingers crossed that the OS is the only thing you deleted and that this works. You may also find it necessary to reinstall some of your software. -
Removing songs from iTunes, that are not saved on the computer
Hey guys.
First of all i would like to thank you for reading my post and trying to help.
Anyways, i rent an external harddrive from one of my friends, and he had a huge amount of songs, that i would like to get on my computer. Stupid as i am, i started downloading directly from the harddrive, which result in a lot of songs in my iTunes, that are not saved in the computer, and when i remove the external harddrive from my computer, all the songs cannot play. So after that, i saved them on my computer, and tried getting them into iTunes once again. This has resulted in a double of every songs. Which is quite much.. Are there any ways, that i can do a "Clean-up" and remove all the songs that are not saved on my computer or not working or something like that?
I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.Hi,
If your previous library was matched on you your computer, you can retrieve your music from itunes match on your computer.
Sign in to match and add your computer. Your library will now show all the music that is in match. You should be able to download all your music back on to your computer.

I am facing issue when opening flash files in Flash CC. (error:- This file was created with a later release of Flash Professional and might contain new features that would be lost when saved in the current format.)
Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help. -
I tried to import 2 photos from an email to iphoto. The photos now appear in iphoto as the latest imports, However, when I try to close iphoto or log off of my computer, I get a message box that says, " Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."
I can't get out of iphoto or log off of my computer, or turn the computer off. How do I stop the import or log out of iphoto???Try Force-quit from the Apple-menu to close iPhoto.

When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted. Any way for both the received and sent mail that resides there to be deleted?
I create a lot of project folders where i keep all my conversations regarding the project. Once the project is finished i would like to just delete the folder and get rid of all the emails associated with it but when i delete the folder i've noticed that only received messages are deleted. Now I am stuck trying to sort through my sent folder for messages that were returned there after the conversations was supposedly deleted.Mail/Preferences/Viewing - un-check include related messages, delete the folder, then go back and reset yo include.

Nothing more to be said. Hitting the "star" to add a bookmark just adds it to a separate list, instead of the main bookmark list, and there is no obvious way I can find to turn that off or to move those "Recently Bookmarked" items to the main list. Why did you have to mess around with something that just worked?
If you click the star on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current tab then the new bookmark is created in the Unsorted folder.
The blue highlighted star gets an "Edit this bookmark" tooltip and if you click the star another time then you get the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and can move the bookmark to another folder.
The list icon next to it (tooltip: Show your bookmarks) is the drop marker of the star button and behaves as the Bookmarks Menu button (that also looked like a star) known from older Firefox versions.
* "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
* Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
* Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
* Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item. -
Use ComboBox TableCellEditor - values are not saved to the table model
Hi,
I got a combobox cell editor that uses to edit one of the columns.
And i got an ok button that uses to collect the data from the table and save it to the db.
In case i started editing of a cell and the editor is still displayed- if i will click on the button the data that will be colected from the table model will not contained the updated value in the cell editor.
In this case the user think his changes were saved but the last updated field is not updated.
Is this a bug i got in the cell editor or this is the normal behaviour?
Can it be fixed? (So that if the cell is in the middle of editing the value that will be saved is the last value that was selected).

In September my husband and I were planning a cross country move and we thought that having a Jet Pack to go on line with while we were traveling would be a good idea. When we ordered it we told the representative that we did not need it until the 1st of Oct. as that was when we would be leaving. It arrived on our door on Sept 9th with the instructions to be sure and activate it within 2 weeks or we would lose the line. On the 19th we called in the activation and everything appeared fine. We hit the road on the 1st and Nothing, Na-Da, Zip, Zilch .... The equipment never worked from the get go! We called Verizon from the road on the 4th of Oct. to find out what was going on and the representative told us that the problem was with the computer on Verizon's end. We shut the equipment off for the rest of our trip and called for a refund on the 13th of Oct. We spoke to a representative named Juan, who again confirmed that it was Verizon's computer that had been the problem, and we were assured that all fee's associated with the Jet Pack would be waived as the equipment never worked in the 1st place. He told us all we needed to do was return the broken equipment and that he would send us a return label. We received the return label and sent the equipment back on the 22nd of Oct. On our next bill no credits of any kind had been applied? We promptly picked up the phone and called Verizon again, on Oct 31st, to find out what was going on? This time we spoke to Lou Ann. After about an hour and a half she finally managed to remove the fee's, or so we thought, and we hung up satisfied. On 11/5 our Nov. bill arrived again with no credits of any kind. We thought maybe the billing cycle hadn't had time to catch up with our most recent conversation so we called just to verify. This time we spoke to Moncheria. She did not understand what had happened and had to reenter the same refund that Lou Ann had earlier. Again another hour and a half on the phone. Today,11/28, we received our most recent bill and again no credits of any kind??? We picked up the phone and called again. This time we explained to Christian, (the above story), and she put us on the phone with her supervisor Carson. Carson proceeded to tell us that ALL of the previous representatives we had spoken to were wrong and that since we had not returned the equipment within 14 days of receiving it that we were beyond the limits of the refund policy, (which means we would have had to return it before we left on our trip), and the best she could do was offer us coupons for the future to offset THEIR mistake! No thank you I will keep my cash in my pocket!
1st of all we ordered it for the 1st of Oct. not for 9th of Sept.
Secondly we were told to be sure and activate it within 14 days or we would lose the line, never any mention of a refund time limit. (Who buys stuff anticipating an immediate refund?)
And 3d THE EQUIPMENT NEVER WORKED IN THE 1ST PLACE!!
Now Verizon is asking for $343.34 in fee's for something that never worked in the 1st place!! This is ridiculous and those fee's are defiantly under dispute! The way I see it trying to hold me to a contract that Verizon breached by sending out faulty equipment is just wrong!Your issue has been escalated to a Verizon agent.

It used to be that i could make changes such as sorting of folder bookmark listings in "organize bookmarks" and they would occur immediately in my Firefox browser. Now, for some reason, every time i make these changes in the Organize Bookmarks screen, nothing i've changed has any effect on my Firefox browser. There is no place in "organize bookmarks" to force a save, so there's no way for me to implement the changes. Don't understand why this worked before and does not now.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox and [[Sorting bookmarks]] |
SortPlaces: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/9275
The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) is for displaying the bookmarks in different sorting orders (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently. -
I'm paying for 2 smartphone lines when only one is in use. It's a waste of money that I can no longer afford. I would like for someone to present me with options or I will have to seek an alternate service provider.
Ok so now there are presumptions of both my ignorance and my dishonesty. This has become the most surreal conversation I've had in some time. I've been a VZW customer for over 10 years and no, this is not something I've ever done before. In the past, if I wanted a new phone before my 2-year deal was up, I paid full price for the phone and kept living. That's how the system works, right? In this instance, I had two lines on my account, each with different contract end dates. The secondary account was 6 months out-of-contract and unused but, for personal reasons, I kept the line in force. The person who used the account setup another account with VZW with another phone. But I kept the line active, just in case.
In the meantime, when reviewing my account online, I noticed an option on the secondary account of "Transfer upgrade". Given my understanding of the definition of the word "transfer" as well as my previous dealings with VZW phone upgrades, it seemed logical that, since both phones were under the same master account, the upgrade with its requisite contract extension would apply to the line that actually used the upgrade eligibility. It was therefore, my expectation that the primary line would either have two years tacked on to its current end date or, at the very least the contract end date for the primary line would be 2 years out from the date the upgrade was exercised. Both options were acceptable to me since, at that point, I was not considering the termination of my relationship with VZW. I knew I needed a phone with more battery life than the one I had and carrying one of those battery charge packs around wouldn't work for me. So, I clicked the transfer upgrade button on the secondary account. I then saw the primary account show as eligible for an upgrade. At that point, I upgraded the phone on the primary account. There was no point where I was notified of a 2 year extension on the secondary account and, once I clicked the "Transfer upgrade" link, there was no mention of or reference to the secondary account.
I'm not sure of who I'm replying to or where they are from so I cannot speak to the people they encounter on a day to day basis. I have not stated nor do I have any desire to get away with a free early upgrade. It should be noted that we are discussing a discounted upgrade, not a free phone. I still paid $150 for the phone and was happy to do it. However, this idea that I'm trying to circumvent the system is offensive. I'm not trying to get away with anything. As I've said in previous posts, I expected to burn discounted upgrade eligibility on the primary line for a minimum of 2 years. I actually expected the new contract end date to be 3 years away, which would have been more than fair for all concerned. Fairness, it seems, is running in short supply.
If all you have to say is that I'm stupid, ignorant, or dishonest, please don't bother to reply. If you can in some way help to bring this to a satisfactory resolution, I'm all ears. Can you hear me now? Good.

Chris Cox: Fade a gaussian blur on a layer with a mask, who should I thank?
I remember in the past that it was impossible to fade a gaussian blur if it was applied on a layer with a layer mask with the link icon active, as the blur also affected the mask. (some sharpen filters also affect both layer and mask) Now, even in Ps
