What happened to the lock icon when using SSL? Cannot easily determine SSL use without using sniffer.

The SSL lock icon does not appear in new Firefox 4 during use of SSL. Why was it removed? Only method of determining successful SSL use is through the use of a sniffer and netstat. There is no obvious lock anywhere in the browser while using SSL
ALSO.... STOP CHANGING THE ORDER OF THE OPEN NEW TAB/OPEN NEW WINDOW UNDER THE FILE->list.

The "Site Identity button", which provides a lot more pertinent information about a web site, was introduced in Firefox 3, and was used along with the "Security Lock icon"; that "Lock icon" was finally removed from Firefox 4 versions.

This extension will add a "lock" in the S-I-B display.

What happened to the "lock" symbol that used to appear when on a secure site? I haven't seen it since the last update, so it's either moved or you took it out. I really miss it!

What happened to the "lock" symbol that used to appear to signify that you were on a secure site? I haven't seen it since the previous update, so it's either moved & I haven't found it, or you took it out. If you did, I want it back!

It's stuck on a yellow question marked "multimedia audio controller." It doesn't like the CD drivers or the drivers snarfed from the aborted "you don't have an sb controller installed" pull from windows\temp\CF whatever it was. It's 3am and I've been trying to get this stupid thing running for 7 hours now. I'm going to bed. I will see if it is any smarter tomorrow morning.
It was running great until I did an "update from the web." If I hadn't have done that I'd have no complaints. Now it's hosed and I can't even get back to where I was before. I'm not impressed with creative's installation procedure.
However, there are many people complaining about the "you don't have an SB installed" problem. Creative needs a "delete everything" button, and an "install all new drivers" button. Take a page out of ATI's book in the number of headaches created by windows installer and come up with a way to fix them yourself. ATI did. This would at least get me back to the BSOD, which right now I'm longing for.
This is on a shuttle st6g4 with a disable ac97 sound nonsense with those drivers removed.

What happened to the lock icon at the bottom right hand corner?

When I would order items on line, I would see this lock icon at the bottom right hand corner of the window. I thought it meant the site was secure. Now I just see the fox head icon. I don't know if it's secure. Is it?
Nothing is wrong with firefox, but I don't know if this feature has been removed or moved elsewhere. It provided some sense of comfort seeing the lock icon on sites where I was ordering items.

In Firefox 4 and later you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions. 
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. 
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. 
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

What happened to the lock icon appearing on a secured web page?

Since I upgraded to Firefox 5.0, I do not see the yellow lock icon on the web page indicating it is a secured page, such as an online shopping site where a credit card number or address is entered.

I wish to recycle a number of macs. What happens to the hard drive when sent to Simms? Do I need to dismount them?

I wish to recycle a number of macs. What happens to the hard drive when sent to Simms? Do I need to dismount them?

Hard drives don't die then come back to life. Your drive never died. You just thought it did.
Obviously, if a hard drive isn't on and spinning its life is longer than when it is always on and spinning. If a hard drive in a laptop is idle it goes to sleep. That's normal because it prolongs battery life. Of course it hardly matters if the computer is running on AC power. The drive may still go to sleep but there's no impact on the battery.
If the computer is in use 24/7 then its useful life will be less than if it's in use only 12/7 or 8/7. This is both logical and obvious. But in the long run all computers or their hard drives fail. There is little you can do to prevent that. They are meant to be used. If your life is dependent on the computer being usable, then buy another one as a spare. Or at the very least buy a backup drive, keep the computer backed up, then you can worry less about drive failure.

If I merge libraries and then back the merged libraries up onto an external drive or DVD, do I just back up the libraries themselves, or do I also back up the original files?
If you're running a Managed Library, then backing up the Library also backs up the original files.
I ask because my HDD is getting pretty full. I want to reduce the amount of stuff on it, and the iPhoto libraries are the biggest single consumer of space at the moment (Nearly 100GB).
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Regards
TD
P.s. If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

My history only shows today. what happened to the yesterday icon?

I used to have a yesterday option as well.
What happened to the yesterday option.
Did I delete it by mistake?
Can I reinstall it somehow?
Please advise.
Thanks

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.

HT4796 what happens to the transferred files when the migration aborts?

My migration aborted after an hour because the windows computer went to sleep. What happened to the files that already transferred? Where are they stored during the transfer? The mac is mtn lion.

Look in /var/folders
In my case /var/folders/zz/blahblahlbah/T/.XMSandbox-tmp/Users/userid/Root
rebooting got rid of them

What happened to the attachment icon in Mail?

I just upgraded to Lion, and I noticed that there wasn't an icon for mail attachments. I looked into preferences and no option there. I have to go into the menu to attach a file. What happened? That seems to be a pretty basic function.

You're right - it's not there, but it's such a long time since I've used it, I hadn't missed it! You can either go to File > Attach file, or do what I always do which is to open the folder containing the doc(s) you want to attach and simply drag onto the body of the email. You can also select more than one doc at once by using the Shift key (or the Apple key if they are not sequential) and attach several.

What happened to the firefox icon on htm and html document files?

Today I have noticed it for the first time.. The icon use to look like a blank page with a mini firefox icon on it.. Now the htm and html icon looks like a blank white page that is bent on the top right hand corner.. I tried a firefox reset and it didn't help.. I don't wanna do a reinstall of firefox because I want to keep the old firefox download manager and not the new one that is on the right of the search bar.. ( I saw it on my ubuntu linux computer) BUT my computer with the html file icon problem is Windows 7 x64

It didn't solve it for me. I have tried the switch icons, uninstall and reinstall, making IE default and then back to FF, file association (there is no Program group in Control Panel in XP btw, the earlier Contributor poster is thinking only of Win7) and scanned other forums without any solution.
mhtml and html files save fine, but are tagged with the Windows default icon for a program the o/s does not recognise. This causes constant irritation because while quickly browsing data files, my eye falls on the unrecognised file icon and I pause wondering what is the problem before realising it's the Firefox error yet again.
There are FF users on other forums with the same problem too, some devising solutions which work for them but not for others, probably because computers are so individual.
I am a recent convert to Windows XP 64-bit sp2 on a new build. With my previous 32-bit machines, I had no problem. I think, like Apple, Firefox has not come to terms with 64-bit despite it supposedly being "the future." I use FF v12 because I can't stand the look of its successors. However, from browsing forums, I gather it makes no matter what version is used. It seemingly happened after v11 and continues throughout.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

What happens to the function keys when i unplug the extended keyboard?

i use my laptop (12 function keys) with a wired apple aluminum extended keyboard (19 function keys). i assigned a few functions (screen shots mostly) to the upper function keys on the keyboard... f16-f19. but when i unplug the keyboard i'm not sure how to get those functions on the laptop keyboard.
what happens to those functions when the keyboard is unplugged? is there a way to map those functions to the keyboard so that they are re-assigned when it's unplugged?

wilyliang wrote:
question still remains: do f16, etc., exist or can they be re-invented once the USB keyboard is removed (besides having to re-map the shortcuts each time)?
I haven't found a way, though there might be.
or even: is it possible to assign two different key combos/function keys to a single command/shortcut?
Now that depends on the application that's assigning the shortcuts. Some Microsoft and Adobe apps allow multiple shortcuts per function, I've taken advantage of those a few times myself. But cheaper apps often cut you off at one shortcut.

What happens to the old artwork when you add new or updated artwork

I have been in the process of updating the artwork in my iTunes library to provide the highest quality images available. I obtain this from a variety of sites including using the "Get Album Artwork" in iTunes, using the album artwork widget, using a search on Google Images and from anew site recently recommended that provides exceptionally quality album artwork.
When I obtain these from either Google Images or any third party site I typically drag a copy to my desktop and then I go to "Get Info" on the particular album title and either drop and drag the artwork into the box or int he cases where I have to crop some of the area or color adjust I copy in paste over the existing artwork.
My question and concern is what is happening to the original artwork I had stored in iTunes? When I copy and paste or drop and drag is the existing image being erased or as I fear am I accumulating a huge folder of obsolete artwork somewhere that is ever growing and taking up more and more of my disk space for storage? If this is the case how do I find these artwork files and delete them?
Thank You
Mke

It is overwritten.

What happens to the closed captions when you delete a video or audio from a slide? (Captivate 7)

This might be a silly question but ...
I have a presentation with audio voiceover on every slide and videos on some. I have entered closed captioning for all of them. This is a pretty time consuming job.
What happens if I run into a problem with a video or audio clip and need to replace it? If I delete that audio or video from the slide, what happens to all the closed captioning that you added to it? I'm assuming it's deleted when you delete it from the slide.
If I export the captions before deleting the audio/video file, can I then reimport them when I replace the audio/video file with a fixed version?
Thanks for any clarification.

Hi there,
You can have CC with Slide audio and Multi Slide video in Captivate.
If you will delete the slide audio or Multi slide Video, then CC will get disabled on that slide, but same CC text will retain there as Slide notes.
Now, once you will re insert the audio or multi slide video you can mark that slide notes as CC again, or can have new CC.
So, even after deleting the audio and multi slide video, CC will not be deleted.
check following section in Captivate:
Thanks.

What happened to the 'stop' icon? Firefox is so slow, I need to stop cursor swirl.

I am using Windows XP PRO 32 bit on a desktop
When I updated Firefox last week....(approx 86h May, 2014) so many things changed, one of these is now the cursor swirl is going all the time, well almost...about 80-% of the time I am on FF.........before, I could use the 'X' icon (stop) to stop it....why has this feature been removed? Surely most browsers have a stop icon? Well, I'm not an expert at all, but the ones I have seen all have one, anyway....
I am not happy about all these changes....it's just made things worse, I am getting more notices of plug ins stopping working than ever before. I always thought up-dates fixed these things & made the product better, not worse....grrrrr
Can anyone tell me why it is gone, and if I can restore it, please?
Thanks
Sylvia

Firefox uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
*You get a Stop button during page loading that changes to a Reload button when the page has finished loading
*You get a Go button if you modify the location bar content
*Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab

What happened to the dock icon in safari 6.04

The most recent Mountain Lion update included Safari 6.04. All of a sudden the dock icon looks as bad as google's chrome. When using the magnify option it pixelates all ugly. Did we finally sell out? Is this the way Tim is going to run things? Someone needs to get the axe for this!

Boot in safe mode. This will cause certain caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to boot than normal.
When the login screen appears, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
