What the heck are you people doing by synchronizing info. between my computers without notifying me?

''dupe of - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/977896''
I've been a Firefox user since 2005 and had once sworn allegiance to Firefox but not any more. As of this moment I will never use Firefox ever again. I've been using Firefox since 2005 and have been using it as the default browser on my three desktops and laptop but it seems today is the last day I am ever going to use Firefox.
I am absolutely livid having just noticed that you synchronize information, data, between my computers without taking the absolutely necessary, responsible, proper steps to notify your users exactly what you are doing and not by the derelict, utterly inexcusable manner in which you have a pop-up do what you don't seem to have the moral sense to do in a responsible, upstanding manner.
You've been slipping for years, having made compromises, skating on morally thin ice, alienating Firefox users in all sorts of ethically questionable ways, but this, this is beyond the pale.
Firefox, you are out of my life forever.

hello mediamayven, without you actively setting up a sync account and pairing all individual devices to this account, there won't be any synchronising going on by mozilla at all! i don't know where you're getting the impression from that it would be anything other than that...

How in the heck are you supposed to drag songs

How in the heck are you supposed to drag songs from your music library to your device (iPhone or iPod) with the new iTunes? It was simple on the older version, but it isn't at all on this one. I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks. It did help. Plus I don't feel like such an idiot for asking probably a simple question because somebody else asked the same thing.

N8-00 What the hell are you all complaining ...

I got my phone for 12 days now and is a very happy customer.
Most of my mates have Htc Desire or Samsung Galaxy or i-phone. Not one of them have a truly perfect phone to do everything. In fact everyone has some gripes and frozen application at one time or another. None of them are using a true multi tasking processor like the current intel chips or amds in current pcs.
So I accept my phone with the current limitations of mobile phone technology.
Indeed I am perhaps lucky?
My phone have not crash since I reinstall using the ovi sync software. Everyone compliments on how good the phone connection is! The web surfing is so easy and attentive to asking which server it should be connected when I am at other unfamiliar places.
Sure, my N8-00 is never going to impress the kids with imaginative and eye catching animations available only from the i-phone but what the N8-00 does for practicality is truly great. Next time for those with barrages of complaints (real or fakes quite likely from competitors I believe), try competing brand phones in real life situations and places, not just at the shop! The Nokia is genuinely a very dependable smartphone.
The only other person I know who also has a Nokia N8-00 is so contended with his phone after getting used to it. Cheers Nokia!
Sydney, NSW

I'm am genuinely really glad to hear that there are in fact happy N8 owners.
When my currently dead N8 gets replaced I hope to join you in your words of praise! Until then all I have to go on is my experiences so far & they ain't good. I don't work for any other phone manufacturer & up until now have had no interest in owning either a HTC or iPhone, let s see how i get on with the new unit once it comes off of backorder. If it's good I'll sing it's praises also, if it's bad i'm off else where.
Hope your experiences continue to be good ones.

EXEC FILES. What the heck are they?

I've got this 0 kb file in my download folder called "Downloads" and it's an Exec file. When I open it, it opens up the Terminal, does some kind of process and then says "Process Complete." What is that? Can I toss it in the trash? Why is it there? Thanks.

That item is labelled as an executable file because the permissions on it are set to allow it to be run and it has no information that tells the Finder what type of file it should be. It can safely be thrown away.

WTF are you people doing? Firefox sucks almost as bad as IE now, please stop "fixing" it.

With each new version you suck a little bit more.
You have become as bad as google, updating and changing for no good reason, in a race to the bottom with yourself.
The whole reason I started using Firefox is because it worked, now after thousands of installs and convincing users to ditch IE you have become just as bad.
I now restart Firefox a dozens times a day on the 3 machines I use daily. The memory requirements are staggering and FF is now SLOW.
First thing out of the box you will say "you have too many add ons", sorry, I only use one, noscript and not even that on 2 of the three machines.
Three tabs open and nearly 600,000K and using 1-12% CPU just to type this text.
Don't bother with an answer, just clean up your mess. In the alternative we can all wait for someone to come along and eat your lunch. Give me a browser that WORKS and I will forget Firefox ever existed.

Yep, firefox sucks now. I'm now forced to use Chrome.
When watching full movie streams, it would freeze and hog the CPU for about 3 minutes and then continue.
When I'm working on a site that uses flash, it too would freeze and hog the CPU.
Firefox is now a system resource hog.

What the heck is iTunes uploading?

After a frustrating week trying to use iTunes match, I've finally gotten a good chunk of my library in the cloud. The problem is the remaining 10 gigs: all live DJ sets that are roughly 2 hours long. They hover around 180 mb each, so under the limit.
Problem is, I cannot get these to upload at all. I got lucky with one, and another matched, but the rest have been a boondoggle. I've tried many things, and as an experiment I decided to remove all of them from my library, add JUST ONE back into my iTunes, and then keep Activity Monitor open to see what exactly is happening.
And this is what I get: I added back in a file that is 189 mb large. I started the transfer about two hours ago. With Activity Monitor open and set to the Netowrk tab, I originally had "Data sent: 18.38 gb". I verified that I didn't have any thing else really doing any uploads (every once and a while I'd see "Data sent/sec" spike to 1k/second or so, so I figured it was probably just Mail checking my inbox). Now it's two hours later, Data sent/sec has ranged from 40k/sec to 90k/sec (darn ADSL's slow upload speeds). But here's the kicker, I see "Data sent: 18.69 gb"
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but a 189 mb file added to 18.38 gb should equal around 18.58 gb. Which means that iTunes has magically uploaded an additional 100 mb or so of data. Even considering the fact that, since this is an mp3, it'd get re-encoded into an AAC, I find it very unlikely that we're talking about a 50% decrease in compression efficiency, and keep in mind that the upload STILL ISN'T FINISHED. In fact, as I write this, it's now at 18.73 gb data sent and no sign of stopping.
Does anyone know what exactly is happening here? This mirrors my experiences with my first few attempts at uploading these sets: 10 gigs at once, but 6 gigs of uploading later, not a single one had finished. WHAT THE HECK IS ITUNES MATCH DOING??? I'm seriously considering canceling and seeing if I can get my money back, since I mainly cared about being able to stream these sets onto my iPad.

Uh just to update, at around 18.77 gb data sent, data has stopped being uploaded from iTunes. Except it's still not done "uploading" the one song. So now I guess it's officially hung. WHAT'S HAPPENING???

HT201270 In layman terms, what the heck does updating your carrier settings mean and how does it effect me in the real world?

In Layman terms, what the heck does updating your carrier settings mean, and how does it effect me in the real world?

No offense, but what carrier? what data and what service?
I get a bogus window hovering in my itunes page, telling me I have to update information, that I don't want to manage.
I am not upset or unappreciative of your feedback, quite the opposite, I can't believe anyone actually monitors peoples frustrations.
I just want to make sure I don't allow information about me that is not necessary. I just want to listen to music and have a phone and have an ipad.
Everything else about apple is way to propriatory. I don't want to do anything that isn't very simple.
Most importantly, there never seems to be any (human being) that can answer a telephone call anymore.
Contact us, means...send us an email about something you don't know anything about, and I don't even know that questions to ask.
I am not allowed to be ignorant. If I am I wait days for answers.....

Option+T (What the heck does that do?)

Option+T (What the heck does that do?) I've looked around on the internet and the boards and haven't found what the purpose is. Just curious. Thanks Jeremy.

If you are curious why don't you just highlight the timeline > hit option + T (the timeline gets sexier ) > select a clip > drop a filter on it > set keyframes to modify the filter overtime or use time remap and option click anyware in the time remap green ramping line to set a keyframe and keep your curious eye on the timeline and find that all those keyframes becomes visible and editable in the timeline?

My refunded was supposed to arrive in 48 hours. Now they are saying wait 10 days or ask the bank. What the heck?

I received an email 2 days ago saying your refund will be here in 48 hours. So I waited patiently. Now apple support is saying wait up to 10 days. What the heck?

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, we won't know why there is a delay. Did the email give any sort of reason ?

I am home sharing songs from my computer (library) to another authorized computer (library), the songs will import, but once i sync the iphone (4s) to this computer the songs are shaded and will not import onto the iphone, what the heck is going on?

I am transfering songs from one computer to another using home share. Both machines are authorized in home sharing. The songs import from (my) windows computer to the other (my wifes) authorized MacBook Pro, computer just fine. Once the songs are in the library and i try to sync her Iphone (4s) to her computer the songs ar greyed out and i can't play them nor see them under iPhone after sync is complete. What the heck is going on? BTW, the songs that i have imported are either songs i burned from a CD or songs i have purchased from the iTunes store, so they should sync no problem!? Help please.

screen print of issue...

I am trying to pay my bill online. However, when I click the "submit" key, it tells me my "nickname" is incorrect. What the heck is a nickname? I have never had this trouble before.

Had the same problem. Here's how I sorted it out, not including yelling at my PC or ranting in my own thread (that's optional): First you want to delete your saved payment option. If you try this and it does not delete, log out and back in. It should be gone. Now re-enter your payment option (credit card number or whatever you are using) and if it asks if you want to save the data for future use, make sure you give it a nickname that doesn't include any special characters. Hope this works for you!

My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone. What the heck???

My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone what the heck? It was fine last week, now nothing

When you plug in your phone go to the sidebar on the left, select the device, and select the menu you want to sync.
For example at the top there is summary, info, apps, movies, etc.
If you wanted to sync movies go under there and pick and chose the movies you want on the device.
Let's assume you are doing that and syncing is not going properly. Then first double check that there is a checkmark in the top left of that page that says sync movies
If there is uncheck and then hit apply. Then it will take all the movies off. Now re-check everything and hit apply.

My PowerMac G4 smells like burning plastic -- what the heck is going on!?

I have experienced the burning smell before, but almost a year ago. Yes, my machine is eight years old, but I still love her and have been doing whatever I can to keep her alive. The only major surgery I've done, is switched from the Samsung power supply it came with, to a lower powered Apple one. It had been running fine (and quieter since the power supply switch) until today. I powered the computer ON, left it for maybe 20 minutes, and when I came back, the first floor of my house wreaked of burning plastic/electronics. I shut the computer down and left it off for about four hours. Powered it up again recently, worked fine, BUT still emitted that burning stench (though can't tell if it was just blowing around the smell from before or heating up again...).
Does anyone know what the heck is going on with my beloved PowerMac G4 (mirrored drives)? I already purchased a used PowerMac G5 as a backup -- just in case I have to pull the HD from my G4 and move on -- BUT any help to fix my G$ would be most appreciated. Thanks. Nv

Nick,
The first thing to do is to trace the smell if you can. The most likely source of heat is the power supply. If a capacitor leaked somewhere the computer might not work but my money is on melting wire insulation. The wire would still let power get to components but smell of hot insulation, thus it works but smells.
If you are careful, you can remove the power supply from the computer and open it up to take a look inside. If you have a spare CD-ROM drive, you can plug it into the power supply just by itself. Take a paper clip and short out between the green wire and a black wire on the motherboard molex connector (the rectangular one with the most wires going to it.
What you will have on your work bench is the cord from the wall outlet to the power supply, the power supply itself with the cover off, the paper clip jumper and the CD drive. If the paperclip is in place, the fan on the power supply will turn on. The tray for the CD drive should open and close. That will tell you if the power supply is working. If it also starts smelling, then you have isolated the problem.
If the smell comes from any place else, look for signs of melted plastic. One would hope that a fuse would blow before wires short out because the heat is a sign of high current draw.
Try that much and post back.

ICal/10.5 What the Heck is going on?

We can no longer publish to .Mac
Now all my events on my iPhone are one hour later than all the events on my Powerbook.
Have restored my iPhone, have exported and imported the events..
...and still nothing is right
What the heck is going on!!!!!!!???????

I'm sure that Apple is working on the publishing issue as it is huge - and everyone is complaining about it. Regarding the time - sounds like the time zone on the phone was not correct or a daylight savings option was not checked etc. I don't have an iPhone to be able to tell you where to look - but since iCal isn't syncing to .mac or to peoples phones, the time issue is most likely not iCal.
