Why do I have to type full URL???

I used to be able to type in the name of a site without typing the full URL, now if it is a new site (not in history or bookmarked) I cannot just type in the name ie.... 'apple', I now have to type in 'www.apple.com'.
This was not the case before, is this the new default of Safari 5, or have I accidentally turned something off in preferences?

Now it just sits there for a while and gives an error message that it could not find the server.
When that happens, click the Reload icon in the address bar.
You're not dreaming. Safari users are reporting this issue.
You can provide feedback here. http://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html

When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?

Why do I have to type in my password just to create a folder

Why do I have to type in my password just to create a folder ! ?
What can I do to eliminate this silly requirement ?

If the enclosing folder is one used by Mac OS X itself, leave it as is.
I appreciate your advice. I don't know why I need to “leave it as it is” ? I'm trying to create a new folder in the hard drive. (Done this for 30 years.)
I did open the Sharing & Permissions section. system = Read & Write, wheel = Read Only, everyone = Read Only.
Should they all be, Read & Write ?

Why do we have to type everything?

1119: Access of possibly undefined property ***** through a
reference with static type *****.
This is a very annoying error. What I want to know is why do
we have to re-type pretty much all our variables?
I add an object with a variable towers (array containing
1,2,3) to the main stage. So I tried this (where stage is a
variable of type Stage passed down from the main stage and Me is
the object I am trying to access):
stage.getChildAt(0).getChildAt(0).towers[2]
Which to me made a lot of sense. And it came up with the 1116
error.
According to AS3, to reach that variable from within another
object you have to use this line of code (where stage is a variable
of type Stage passed down from the main stage and Me is the object
I am trying to access):
Me(DisplayObjectContainer(stage.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(0)).towers[2]
What an absolute mess (and yes I've tried getChildByName, but
it just returns a null value). Why can't it be something like
(where towerList is the name of the Me object that was added to the
stage):
stage.towerList.towers[2]
Does anyone know a way of getting round having to re-type
these variables? Cause I'm going to be referencing objects which
might have many generations of children.

As a rule, you don't have to, although it is occasionally
necessary.

How did you add this object? It sounds like this is a custom
class
named Me, so how are you instantiating this object? Are you
adding it to
the stage's display list? (Does it need to be in a display
list?)

Why do I have to type my username and password each time I log in?(My husband's username and password are always in a dropdown box)

When I go to the wild blue log in and click on the username box there is a blue drop down and it shows my husband's user name.
When I click on it my husband's username and password are automatically entered and all I have to do is click on the login box.
But I have to type in my username and password before I can log
in. I want my username and password in the blue drop down box along with my husband's. Then I won't have to type it in each time.

Are you referring to the SAME computer/login?
If not, he likely has auto-complete (or similar) enabled and you probably do not.

Why do we have to pay full license fee when upgrading to FMIS 4?

Just tried to order FMIS 4 but it's not possible to upgrade from FMSS 3.5 to FMIS 4. I know it was previously possible to upgrade from streaming editions to FMIS 3.5 and we paid only the upgrade fee (I think $3500) vs the full license fee ($4500). Now it doesn't appear as if we can upgrade from FMSS 3.5 to FMIS 4 and we have to buy a brand new license. Why is this so? If it's not technically possible to upgrade from FMSS 3.5 to FMIS 4 then why can't we at least get a discount for the money we paid on previous version licenses?
I have a few FMSS licenses and I'm choosing not going to upgrade to FMIS 4 because of this.
On a side note, it looks as if it's possible to upgrade FMSS 3.5 to FMIS 3.5 and then FMIS 3.5 to FMIS 4. Of course you pay for two upgrades then.
Can Adobe shed some light on this?

You can check it here: https://store2.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-IE&event=displayProduct&ca tegoryPath=/Applications/FlashMediaInteractiveSvr&distributionMethod=UPGRADE
I would suggest contact the dealer/reseller from whom you got 3.5 and ask him/her the same.
if you still dont get the info do let me know.

Why do we have primitive types

I use all primitive values all the time (ints, doubles, boolean etc). However why do they exist when we have Integer, Double etc.
Whats the advantage of using int over Integer, double over Double?
Thanks

In computer science, primitive data type is either of the following:
a basic type is a data type provided by a programming language as a basic building block. Most languages allow more complicated composite types to be recursively constructed starting from basic types.
a built-in type is a data type for which the programming language provides built-in support.
In most programming languages, all basic data types are built-in. In addition, many languages also provide a set of composite data types. Opinions vary as to whether a built-in type that is not basic should be considered "primitive".
Depending on the language and its implementation, primitive data types may or may not have a one-to-one correspondence with objects in the computer's memory. However, one usually expects operations on basic primitive data types to be the fastest language constructs there are.

Why do I have to type alle accountnames and passwords again in ff 29.

I have to reenter my acount name and password the first time access a site after (being forced to) upgrading to ff29.
Why is that?
I have scores of sites I access and this is a pain in the ass! I used the remember function just to avoid remembering all the passwords.
And don't give me any "use the new sync function", there are reasons why I want some of this stuff local on the computer.

We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.
You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

Why do I have to type in my password every time I download an app? Can that be changed?

Why

Apps, whether the be free or require a payment are then associated with the Apple ID that was used to download them. To make sure that the person downloading the app is the person to whom the purchase or download will be associated you are requested to enter your password. That's the way it is.
Updating previously downloaded apps no longer requires entering your password.
Downloading multiple apps in sequence will also require only entering your password once.

Why do I have to select "continue allowing" every time I visit certain sites in order to be able to type into flash based form fields?

Why do I have to select "continue allowing" every time I visit certain sites in order to be able to type into flash based form fields?
See attached image for reference to what button I am referring to. Until i hit the "continue allowing" button I can not type into the form fields. I have tried removing and reinstalling flash. refreshing firefox, and clearing cache and cookies, and deleting the permissions.sqlite file. Nothing has worked. This issue just started happening a few days ago. Please let me know what I might be able to do to fix this.

That full page including the form is a Flash object.
I didn't see this doorhanger opening when I tried the URL in a new profile.
Did you previously created an exception or is the default selected if you check the permissions for the Flash plugin?
You can inspect and manage the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab:

*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
You can go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

All that comes up when I open Firefox are my toolbars and a place to enter a URL, but there is no window. I have to enter full screen mode to view websites.

Something happened with Firefox where all that comes up when I open Firefox are my toolbars and a place to enter a URL, but there is no window. I have to enter full screen mode to view websites. How do I get back to a regular browsing window? I have no idea how this even happened.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
