Where's the "Are you sure you want to change channels"window?
We used to have Dish and it had one amazing feature that AT&T doesn't have. When I have live tv paused or just rewound back a bit, and then I accidentally hit a number button or the channel up/down button, with AT&T the channel gets changed and I lose the show I was watching. So very infuriating. With Dish, a little window popped up that asked if I was sure I wanted to change channels and switch to live tv, click yes to change or no to stay where you are on the current channel. It's starting to become a deal breaker. Seriously considering switching back because of this one problem, it matters.

If that bothers you so much, switch back. There are no tuners like on Dish, here on Uverse, you just use upto four streams on IPTV. As soon as you leave a channel, the buffer is reset to that channel. You'll have no problems if you'd be a little more careful and set the remote in your lap and don't pick it up until ready to use.
If you want to pause a program, press Record to start it recording and can just watch the recording, will include everything in the buffer, so could go back/forth on the recording.

How can I re-enable the "are you sure you want to delete this email" function?
When I click delete my emails get deleted with one click. I accidentally click delete and they get lost in my trash folder often. How can I enable the "are you sure you want to delete this email" function?

In the importing operation Firefox detects Internet Explorer and Opera as installed browsers. When i select Internet Explorer cookies, history, favourites etc. are listed in a box where you can select the items you want to import in Firefox. When i select Opera no items are listed that can be imported. Any idea how this comes?
Hi,
I think that what you are searching be in Tools >> Options >> Privacy >> On Firefox will: change to "Use custom settings for history" then Button Show Cookies will be allowed and you will see the cookies in your browser in the next window
If you uncheck "Accept cookies from sites", probably the sites that need cookies will alert you that you need active the storage cookies -
Are you sure you want to change the extension from... BLOCKS Finder Editing
This is weird and is driving me nuts, but some Macs do not allow further Finder editing of file or folder names if I change their names (usually including numbers, dots and so on) in such a way that I receive the warning:
Are you sure you want to change the extension from..?
After I confirm that I want to change the name, the Finder does it but gets locked for editing (I can do other things) and does not allow any further file or folder editing until I force quit of Finder or reboot the Mac.
I have found that if right after confirming that I want to change the name I select the file and hit return (which selects its name), no problem arises. But I must do it in one or two seconds, or else it will be too late.
IN SUMMARY:
1. Change file or folder name including numbers and dots at the end.
2. Get the message "Are you sure you want to change the extension from..."
3. Confirm that I want to change the name.
4. FROM NOW ON, I CANNOT CHANGE THE NAME OF ANY FILE OR FOLDER UNTIL I FORCE FINDER QUIT. Unless of course I do the trick indicated above real quick!
Any hint? Any way to know what is going on? This could be a bug of Mac OS X 10.4.x or earlier or a problem with a third party application. But how to know what is going on to prevent it? As said, some Macs show this issue, but not others.
Note: some related issues on this section searching for:
Finder Loses Keyboard Input
or
Sure change extension
For instance:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1974048
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1466505
Hint: some file or folder name changes are more prone to cause the issue than others. For instance, renaming a folder (and confirming it) as:
Testing.r00
brings the bug 100% of the times.
Any idea of what is going on? Thanks.The message is a warning that you are doing something that the OS thinks is going to possibly cause a problem. You are creating the situation and the OS is doing nothing other than what you are asking it to do.
I don't know any exact answer why you can't access your files, but I do know that there are a few characters and things that will cause problems because they mimic names of invisible files. When you make a name that is close to being the same it can treat the file as the special one... meaning you can only access it via Terminal.
Ones you cannot use at all: the colon (:), slash (/), single or double period as first characters. (taken from Finder Help with a naming files search) It is best to stay away from any special characters as a rule. Also avoid using a period and 3 character suffix unless it is one that you are purposefully assigning so the file belongs to an application.
That said... even with the over 200 applications on my system I couldn't repeat your Testing.r00 problem. So, I don't know if it may be application related or not. -
Can I prevent the "Are you sure you want to leave this form" message
Is it possible to suppress the "Are you sure you want to leave this form" if there are no changes?
I would have to say it's a bug in Safari 3.x, as it apparently worked in Safari 2.x. I'm sure a bug report has already been filed on this, but if you want to give feedback to Apple about it and encourage them to fix it sooner rather than later, use this Feedback link.

How can I stop the "Are you sure you want to close this window?" box?
Hello,
Could someone please tell me how to stop safari/google from warning when there is text written in the search query box of google and I try to close the window? The message runs as follow: "*Are you sure you want to close this window?* You have entered text on "Google". If you close this window, your changes will be lost. Do you want to close this window anyway?"
I'm using Safari 3.2 and I have my preferences set to open new links in new windows rather than in tabs. I did try unchecking the warning message for closing multiple tabs, despite the fact that I'm not using tabs. However, that didn't work.
Thanks in AdvanceI would have to say it's a bug in Safari 3.x, as it apparently worked in Safari 2.x. I'm sure a bug report has already been filed on this, but if you want to give feedback to Apple about it and encourage them to fix it sooner rather than later, use this Feedback link.

I am a new uses of iTunes and want to download music. The instructions say:
1. Find the item you want
2. Click the button to download
My problem is that I can't find a download button to click. Where does it appear please?Thank you a million times over. I've literally spent hours trying to solve this and I think those responsible for compiling the 'Help' notes for iTunes would be well advised to make this point clear in the downloading instructions.

So you want to change your primary mail but can't get past the password question?
Claudius,either you didn't read my post, or you jumped to conclusions. I had a skype account that was created using a microsoft account (NOT THE ACCOUNT I AM USING NOW). PURE MICROSOFT ACCOUNT NO OTHER ACCOUNT LINKING.I had to change the primary mail of that account.I was told "no can do" by skype support.I found that if I went to account settings and clicked on the link on the line below the one that said "MICROSOFT etc" (labeled something along the lines of "TV or Device") I got the opportunity to set the password of the "live:username" account (WHICH YOU COINCIDENTALLY HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO USE SMART TVs ETC).Once that was done, I COULD SUCCESSFULLY DO WHAT SKYPE SUPPORT SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE- I could change the primary mail address. once that was done, and NOT BEFORE, I linked the account to a facebook account as well, just to be sure I have more than one way to access the skype account. What caused you to get the impression that I was writing something else? furthermore this sentence - "The solution you described in your initial message isn't actually once since all the time you were operating on different account that weren't actually linked" does not make sense, I think you mis-edited it.and I need to point out that you are incorrect. I WAS NOT OPERATING ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS I WAS OPERATING ON ONE SKYPE ACCOUNT, THAT WAS CREATED USING A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT just like you say you recommend. I still don't know how you can misread my initial entry like that. If you have a better solution to my initial problem - changing the primary mail of a skype account created throuth either a microsoft account or a facebook account, Please write a sticky to explain how to do it, and please inform skype support that Yes it can be done, and this is the way it is done. So far my "lucky shot" seems to be the only way to do it.
Hi!I ran into the same problem as a lot of other people seem to have done. I am changing ISP and because of that I have to change my mail address from my 10 year old [e-mail removed for privacy and security] to something else, this time I choose to use an outlook.com address in the hope that I will be able to keep that a bit longer. last week I realized that my skype account had my old expiring address as the primary mail, and that the primary mail was the only mail that skype will use for communication with me - I already had 2 other mail addresses in my skype profile (outlook.com and gmail). The skype account was created last summer using my microsoft account, and the microsoft account is the only means I have for accessing the skype account. So I logged on and opended the profile page, went on to edit the info and marked my outlook mail as the primary, clicked save and got the password question. I entered the password I use for logging on (ie the microsoft account password), but was told that the password was wrong. I tried everything and some more things, I spent 40-50 minutes on a text chat with skype support, only to be told that it can't be done and that the skype account was hard tied to the mail address I had used when creating the account, which I found very strange as I had used my microsoft account. yes, when I created the skype account, the only mail I had connected to the microsoft account was my "[e-mail removed for privacy and security]" mail, but I have since then, without any problems, been able to create an outlook.com address, and have that added, added a gmail account, set the outlook.com as the primary for the microsoft account and remove the "[e-mail removed for privacy and security]" address from the microsoft account. no problem.The problem is actually worse as the mail account will be free for use after april 1, which means that a person claiming that mail address will risk getting extremely confusing mails regarding a skype account they don't have, they will have difficulties creating a skype account of their own, AND they can take over my skype account (as they are the owners of the mail address) and I won't be able to stop them. How is that for security Fortunately I spent 2 more hours and stumbled on the solution This is where a normal scam artist would ask you to click on a link to a web apge that would releive you of all your money, but I won't do that. so, what is going on when you want to change the primary email, why isn't your password accepted??? It turns out that when you create a skype account using your microsoft account (and I guess your facebook account), skype will actually create a "proper" skype user account as well, but they hide it from you, and you won't get a password set for it. It is the password for this "hidden" account you have to enter when you want to change the primary password It turns out that I was also unable to connect my facebook account to my skype account for the very same reason, but here it was more obvious, as I had to enter my skype username and passwor when connecting the accounts, and the microsoft account wasn't accepted there . so what do you need to do? well - those of you who have a smart tv (or some other device) that can't log on to skype using a microsoft account, have already done the work (provided you use that tv/device with skype) you log on to skype and open the account settings page, on the line below "microsoft account [email protected] unlink change microsoft password" you'll see a line saying "TV or Device" or something similar (I have no idea what the english text is) here you have a link you can click on where you will be prompted to enter the password for your "live:username" account. once you have done that you get instructions saying that for smart TVs etc, you enter "live:username" as the skye user and the newly created password as your password.The good news is that you now have 1) the identity of your skype user ("live:" and your name where the user name is the combined string "live:username" which in my case was "live:myname"); and 2) a password that is valid for your skype account. what I did next was open up the profile page, edit the profile, mark the outlook.com mail address asthe primary, click save and when prompted for the password, I entered the password I set in the previous step, and that's it, I now had a new primary mail (I got the confirmation mai sent to the new mail address right after I updated the info in skype). I also successfully removed my soon defunct mail address from the mail address list in my skype account, and I then connected my facebook account to my skype account (using live:myname ase the username and my shiny new password). So at the moment I have three different methods available to me when logging in to skype:- my microsoft account- my skype user (live:myname)- my facebook account.the ONLY thing to be aware of is that the name of the microsoft account, as presented on the account settings page in skype, still is my old [e-mail removed for privacy and security] mail address NOTE that this is a presentation issue only, someone thought that it was a good idea to save the original name of the microsoft account in the skype database and use that for presentation. It is NOT used when logging on, when you log on it will use the UID of you rmicrosoft account. if it disturbs you, you can always disconnect you rmicrosoft account from your skype account and reconnect it, and you should see the current mail address associated with the microsoft account. (this is safe to do because you have at least one other method to log on ) I hope that skype will amend their FAQ with this info. I did enter into a second chat with skype support, explaining what I díd to resolve the problem they failed to solve. so there it at least 2 people at skype support who know how to resolve the problem. -cheers,Anders

Hi,
When I run my Mac application, I get a error message saying "The last time you opened Sample_App, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to reopen its windows again?".
This message is not localized, i.e. this error message always display in English even when my system language is set to non-English language.
I want to know if its a System throws error message? How can I localize this message?
Your help/support will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
- MayurPlease follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Ability to show just the pics you want to in ios?
Hi!
Isn't that annoying when you show 1 pic to somebody and that person begins to flip pics and see other pics that maybe you don't want them to see? I think IOS should have the ability to mark just the pic you want to show a person in a particular moment. Let's say, in camera roll, click edit, mark the pics, click on "share" and in the pop up window it should say also "show only this" or something like that.
Don't you think guysI have included the view I am looking at in the left hand box in Organizer. It is a folders list that sems to match the file structure on my computer. I can right click on any of the folders in this list and I get a pop-up menu with te option to "Reveil in Explorer" . The photo files I see when viewing in Explore do not match the thumbnail photos I see in the center panel of Organizer. I have moved some files around as i organized things and some of that movement does not seem to be recognized in Organizer.
I have included an example. As you can see Explorer has two photos that are not appearing in Organizer. Those picturtes do exist somewhere in anothe "folder" of the tree. So they are in the cataloge, just not where I want them. -
there is no way to move text freely to the position you want. Am I missing something..or you just can't do it?
I use FCP X with Lion and, after clicking the little icon with the four dots in the lower left corner of the viewer window, I can move my titles and text. I noticed, however, that I cannot click and drag from just anywhere on the viewer screen, but I have to click in the smaller rectangle surrounding the text. Just to make sure I don't miss it, I usually just click on a letter in the text and drag the text block to where I want it. That's probably just a habit from programs I have used in the past that require that. I think you guys got it right ... just need to get close to the text for it to work. Of course, it goes without saying you also need to select the text clip first.

wouldnt it be so neat if when sending emails to multiple contacts that you could place a check mark beside the names you want to include in the email instead of having to go back and search through contact list to add each recipiant?
Hey docasman,
Welcome to the support forums!
The error you are seeing is normal, all it means is that the list will be truncated meaning you will not be able to see the full list of people in the CC field but you can add more and it will send the message to all of them.

Hi all.
I need some help. I have recently installed a new Hard Drive in my Macbook and have re-installed Snow Leopard. Since doing so there have been a few things that haven't been quite the same.
1) Certain buttons decided they didnt want to work anymore. These being the Space Bar, the Tab key, all four arrow keys, Caps lock, Volume up, Eject, and a few others.
After putting up with this for a couple of weeks and looking at numerous forums, they all of a sudden came back to life (Hence why I'm actually able to type this message) THEN, they packed up again. Then started again, then packed again, and so on. They seem to have a mind of their own.
Please... does anyone know whats going on? Is it a hardware prob? Is it something to do with the way Ive installed the Hard Drive? Have I forgotten to do something?
2) Ever since my buttons initially came back to life, the "Do you want to restart you computer?" window keeps popping up every couple of minutes.
It's the window that says "Restart, Sleep, Cancel, Shut Down"
It's driving me insane and I can't help but think that the two probs are related.
If anyone out there has any ideas at all, they would be most welcome.
Many thanks in advance
