Why did you remove the "unlink this device" option?

Whenever I sign into Sync on a public device (like school computers), it syncs in my bookmarks, passwords, and history, which is good. That's what I want. But when I'm done using the device, I have to sign out of that device, and I can't find an option to do that. When I sign out of sync, it doesn't remove my bookmarks, passwords, or anything. I have to go and delete the bookmarks manually and clear search history. Which is VERY inconvenient. I do have a master password, but that only held with passwords, not with history or bookmarks. This is very troubling. I should be able to sign out of that device and have all my information removed. That's what Google Chrome offers and you don't! Where's the unlink device option?

Why did you remove The option to disable Java scripts?

Everyone knows malware always comes through java scripts. So why did you remove the option to turn it off ? Why the false saftey excuse? (duckspeak) This makes no sense. Alot of people also get errors and have slower speed with some pages so they disable it. I understand there is plugins available to block scripts but they never work 100%. It just really really seems strange that a browser that was built on the idea of safety, security and trust has now suddenly removed a item that makes users less safe, Under the guise of safety. (doublespeak)
I will no longer use Firefox ever again unless you put this option back.

Also note that the option is available in...
'''<h1>about:config</h1>'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''<h1>Add-ons</h1>'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back JavaScript options, including Advanced JavaScript Settings, as well as options for loading images and showing the Tab Bar)
Im also not sure how you are a computer expert and dont even know the difference between Java and Javascript. Its pathetic that you dont know that Java is the most insecure thing, not Javascript, get your facts straight before bashing a correct answer and "Java Scripts" were not removed, but moved.

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

Why did they remove the "today, this week, last week from finder side bar?

I searched the options and they were removed.

I don't know the "why" but I know how you can get them back. Go to Finder: File menu > New Smart Folder.
When the Finder window opens, click the '+' sign on the right hand side of the window.
Change the menu that says 'Kind' to 'Last Opened Date'. In the next menu along, change the 'is within last' to 'today' (or it might be 'last 24 hours', I forget). Hit Save.
Repeat the same procedure thing for 2 days, 1 week etc. (I'm not booted in to Lion at the moment, but in SL you could also actually enter the time period in an input box. You may also have this option.)

Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors?

Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors in the new Aperture update? I used those colors to organize my workflow.
Everything is Greyscale now. Isn't Photography all about colors? If I wanted a greyscale user interface I would have bought a PC ...

It's the new design since Lion - Iphoto already has gone gray before Aperture See these links:
Re: After updating to Aperture 3.3 all my icons appears in Black and white. This includes the inspect button, photo stream button, the Facebook / flicker share button. Could you please help here ?
How to bring back the color: (for experienced users only)
Re: Have today loaded the 3.3 up date on Aperture. After the up date the colour of the Menu Bar and all icons showing projects / albums etc are now grey. Any thoughts on how to reestablish the colours.

Why did you change the way a current program is recorded?

Why did you change the way a current program is recorded? Now I can only record a show from the time I press record not from the beginning. So if I turn on the TV and a show has already started, I can no longer record it from the beginning as I did in the past. As much money as I pay shouldn't I have the option to choose?

In Lion, why did Apple remove the up/down arrows in the scroll bars? There is currently no way to move up and down in small increments. WHY????

Every mac operating system software until Lion had the ability to use up/down arrows in the scroll bar. This makes it easy to move up and down in small increments. In Lion, it is impossible to move up and down in small increments. Click on the scroll bar and it moves up or down an entire page. When you try to put the curser on the scrollbar and move it up just a little, it moves a whole bunch. With the up/down arrows, you can click on the arrow and it will scroll ulp or down one line a time. There is no way to do this in Lion. Why would apple remove the very useful feature of up and down arrows.

Yes, agreed a missing element.
Did you try using the up / down arrows on the key board.

Why did nokia remove the 3d chip and IM messenger ...

hey when i use my nokia n96 and play 3d games it does not work which makes the n96 **bleep** and because of that when i play animations it lags to much and for what reason did they remove the graphics card for. one more thing is that they removed IM chip and VOIP chip which means i cant use windows live messenger or yahoo messenger or skype on it why did they do that for i thought when new phones come out they have more and better stuff but nokia are removing them things that actually need you to keep going on life. WHY DID THEY DO THAT FOR REMOVING THE CHIPS.

There's no IM or VoIP chips removed; IM and VoIP are software.
Read this:
http://conversations.nokia.com/home/2008/08/the-report-of-t.html
The 3D hardware graphics accellerator was not removed from the N96; rather the N96 is based on hardware that never had it in the first place.

Apple why did you take the Sites folder with my website in it? Nobody helps!

Since upgrading to Mavericks I lost my local website folder that used to be in the Sites folder!
Error: Can't connect, check your info! Oh Apple why did you take it? "H E L P P L E A S E!"

Thank you Barney-15E
I have no clue why this is or why I am getting this error in Mavericks. All I have is a local website folder in the Sites folder using Dreamweaver CS4 to update my files, working perfect on my other drive running 10.6.8 . Why I cant update and get the error above is the reason I am posting here. (and several other spots)
You said:
"First off, FTP is disabled in Mavericks, which is why you likely cannot FTP into your local Mac--why are you ftp'ing to the Mac you are working on?"
You said:
"Your Sites folder is in your Home folder. However, if you created it somewhere else, you'll have to figure that out."
When I say my Sites folder is not in my Home folder you can bank on it. No I never changed any folders in there.

How do I set new tabs to BLANK? Why did you remove that choice from me?

FF 5.0
There use to be an option to set new tabs to blank.
How do I do that now that you removed the option.
I tried the obvious (?) of setting the new tab to "about:blank" and it still comes up with what ever search engine is paying you money.
I even tried an add on to set it to blank. That didn't work either.
Are we no longer allowed to have a clean, fast loading new page?

Firefox always Opens a New Tab in a Blank page. You must have some add-on installed that's making the new tab to not open as Blank.
-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Exit'''
-> '''Start Firefox in Safe Mode''' (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Firefox Safe Mode window will open. DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click '''Continue in Safe Mode'''
Check if the New Tabs are now opening as Blank pages while you are in Firefox Safe Mode.
-> '''The problem does not occur in Safe Mode'''
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes#w_the-problem-does-not-occur-in-safe-mode
Check and tell if its working.

Why did you change the event calendar?

I updated my phone and now I can only have one alert on my calendar for an event. I was putting in an event and having an alert one day before and then one hour before. Why did you change it?

Just FYI, "we" didn't change anything. You're not communicating with Apple when you post here, and you will not get a response from them. We're all just fellow users.
