Whats happened to the 'Only allow cookies from websites I visit' option gone in Safari 5.1.7?

I'm sure there used to be an option to only allow cookies from websites I visit in earlier versions of Safari so my question is have Apple removed some very useful functionality from Safari or have they just hidden somewhere else?

Chains,
I use Cookies by Sweet P Productions.  It manages your cookies, letting you choose favorites for cookies, flash cookies, and databases (I didn't know about some of these so I had to educate myself!).
They also have a FREE app/extension/addon called Safari Cookies - only for Safari not other browsers.  I started out using it, but it does install something called SIMBL, and I've heard negative things about it.  Nothing serious, but I decided against it.  The paid program is a true app/program and does not use SIMBL.
Right now, they actually have their Cookies program on sale  (FREE stuff at the bottom of page).  You can find their stuff here:  http://sweetpproductions.com/
I have been using them for almost a year without any issues or problems and it's pretty easy to set up.  It's worth it for you to check it out and decide for yourself.
Good luck!

    "How do you like your 7D?"
    Westy,
    In my opinion the 7D is the 'best buy' in a professional level DSLR out there. The pro level featuers are many and the downsides are few.
    If you couple the Canon 7D with the Sigma APO 50-150mm f/2.8 II EX DC HSM, you truly do have a fantastic set-up at the most value considered, reasonable, price.

  • I want new links to open in main window and not open a new browser or tab. What happened to the "open new links in..." option?

    And when you right click on a link, the only options are "open link in new tab" or "open link in new window". I want to open the link in the same tab, I don't need 16 tabs opened at the same time.

    I fixed this problem. It was pretty easy.
    First, in the address bar, type in " about:config " .
    When it asks if you are sure about making changes & it may void the warranty, click "yes--I promise I'll be careful" or something along those lines. (I heard there is no warranty, & it's just a joke)
    Once you get to the new screen, find " browser.link.open_newwindow "
    You will see the # 3 on the same line. Change that value to 1.
    Wah-la! :)

  • What happened to the home screen button from 1st gen iPad? Can't close apps.

    I received a 1st generation iPad as a regift. It worked fine until I erased and synced it with my iTunes and other devices. Instead of the home button, it had that little circle in the corner to get you back to the home screen (don't know what that's called). Now that I've synced, that circle/button is gone, and the home button doesn't take me home. I am stuck in whatever app or settings screen I open, and can't close it without a full reboot. I'm not sure what ios it was using before I reset amd synced, but now it is using 5.1.1. Is this the problem? Any fixes?

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • What happened to the code reference panel from CS5?

    I have been watching a CS5 Flash ActionScript tutorial, but I am using Flash CC. In the tutorial, there is a code reference panel to the left of the actions panel that has a list of all the possible code pieces, and when hovering over any of them, it shows a tooltip describing the code piece. Did they remove this panel in later versions of Flash, and if so, is there any way to bring it back? It would be extremely useful as a tool to learn ActionScript.
    The following is a picture to show what I am referring to.

    There's a chance you might find it in the exchange but I believe ultimately the packaged documentation is no longer the desired route to obtain help.
    If you hit Help->Flash Help you'll be instantly directed online. I think that shows you that they want you to view the most up to date documentation for the product possible.
    While the methods/properties/etc are missing from the left menu, you can always contextually see them by default when you type a period next to an objects name. If I make a Sprite and type the name followed by a period I am greeted by a contextually specific list of properties and methods for the object I'm referring to:
    If I don't know what the property or method does, I can accept it, select it and hit F1 to be taken directly to the documentation for it:
    This shows the emphasis on using the online documentation.
    If you haven't already, check out these resources for learning ActionScript:

  • What happened to the Speaker Calibrator Wizard from the Audigy 2?, why is it Go

    Hi, there I know the X-fi has a Speaker Calibrator Wizard in the thx section as in the audigy 2, however the part where there is the basic and advanced calibration options that guide you to calibrating your system aren't there. Also the surround mixer on the audigy 2 isn't there where you can control the levels of all 7. speaker channels, ie move the surround channels to half way up and down.
    I really miss this feature, and can anyone from Creative support give me a link to get the software back. I currently have the x-fi elite pro and I really want to calibrate my speakers using that utility.

    If any of you are unfamilar with this, note that in the thx setup console in the audigy 2 there were some options, in which creative had a choice of either basic or advanced calibration. The x-fi doesn't have that option.

  • ITunes no longer loads "checked" songs onto my iPhone 5.  It seem to be all or nothing or choose from the 4 categories.  What happened to "sync only checked songs?"

    In the case you aren't trolling, here's some alternative mapping services.
    Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
    If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
    Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

    MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

  • I want to configure Firefox to only accept cookies from a specific list of websites, but my "Allow Exceptions" list is deleted when Firefox closes.

    I want to configure Firefox to only accept cookies from a specific list of websites, but my "Allow Exceptions" list is deleted when Firefox closes. (Firefox 5.0)

    @dmcritchie:
    ''How do you expect to keep cookies for certain sites, if you wipe out all of your cookies when the session ends or you clear the same history through the Tools menu''
    If you mean from session-to-session, I don't expect it to keep cookies. That's the whole point. Every time Firefox is opened, I want it to write a new cookie, and keep that cookie until it closes and no longer than that. (Perhaps I should clarify: I don't mean session in the networking sense but rather in the period of time when one starts using Firefox until Firefox closes.) The behavior I want is for it to be able to write cookies when open, but only for specific sites, and then forget about them on close.
    I should also mention that your responses are worthless to me because you don't explain anything. For instance, the quote above is ''not'' obvious from your reply of "Make sure you are not clearing cookies". You need to explain this; what is obvious in a reading for you is not obvious for everyone.
    Furthermore, how is "Site Preferences" related to "everything on the right-side"? (Not to mention that it's unclear what you mean by "right-side.")

  • Just upgraded to 5 from 3 - what happened to the page select icon? Can't find it in customize toolbars.

    Used to be you could select which page you wished to go back or forward to from the arrow icons on the navigation toolbar. The history menu item only shows 10 sites without having to open history for today. What happened? Is there another icon or a new plug in for this functionality? I used it all the time.

    ''what happened to the page select icon (Back/Forward)''
    The back/forward buttons have been moved to right-hand side of the navigation bar and the drop-down was removed. User right-click or hold click for one second to see the tab history. This is item #5 in my list.
    The History menu also has "Open Previous session" and "Open closed windows",
    to see more history use the History sidebar ("Ctrl+H") or the History Library List ("Ctrl+Shift+H") and sort or view by "Last visited".
    You can make '''Firefox 5.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0.1, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6.*)].

  • What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
    I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

  • I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 running Firefox 4.0.1. What happened to the enable cookies in Preference/Privacy. It's gone I need to enable. Thanks.

    Question
    I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 running Firefox 4.0.1. What happened to the enable cookies in Preference/Privacy. It's gone and I think I need to enable. I can't log on to Citibank to pay my bills using Firefox or Safari for that matter. Citibank says cookies must be enabled to access their on-line bank. I wonder if this is the problem...cookies that is?

    Yes, I found the cookies, and thanks for taking the time to help out. I called Citibank. They told me that they will not support Firefox or Safari for Mac because our user group is too small for them and the expense too high. The person that I spoke to said in the past, Firefox has worked with Citi, but that was just by accident. At the moment they have no plans to help Mac people using the latest OS log onto their website or enable programs like my Quicken or Mint.com to access. They don't work anymore either. I think all the problems happened after the last OS update.

  • I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

    Question
    I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

    I had this hotmail issue myself a while back. I Googled, scanned MS website, scanned MSN website, visited forums, couldn't figure it out. I tried Firefox and Opera and even changed the Opera mask setting from Opera to Internet Explorer. Nothing worked. My best guess was that I was signing on (with the new MSN Live as opposed to MSN Hotmail - the OLD interface) with the "Remember me on this computer?" box checked. I now make sure it is un-checked (which is not the default) and hotmail lets me in.
    Not exactly sure if that is the real remedy, but thot I'd throw the story your way just in case...

  • What happened to the "tuner" app? it's missing from itunes and apps store

    What happened to the "tuner" app? I bought it a few days ago, and now it's not available when my friend searches for it. I checked itunes, the iphone apps, and even searched by music catatory rather than by name.

    When you click on the TUNER link, it launches the itunes store and says this app is not available in the U.S. huh? not fun! I have half a dozen friends that are excited to try it out. I'm glad I got it while I could too. I wonder what triggered the removal?

  • When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder?

    When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder? I am new to Mac. I've updated the operating system and iPhoto.

    If your iPhoto Advanced preference pane is setup like this
    all photos you import into the library are COPIED into the library.  Thus those photos in the folders outside of iPhoto are redundant and can be deleted to save space on your hard drive. There no need to keep those copies in the folders.
    If you do have your advance preferences set as shown above you can access your photos for use outside of iPhoto according to the following User Tip by Terence Devlin which is the best treatise on how to access photos (for use outside of iPhoto):  How to Access Files in iPhoto.  Otherwise you access your photos from within iPhoto. 

  • My mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    my mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
    Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
    That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.
