Why does firefox ignore the exceptions I entered and disallow pop ups from sites that I have listed to be "allowed"

sometimes the pop up blocker allows the exceptions I have listed but most of the time it does not. Is there any way to fix it so that it always allows the exceptions?

It is possible that you run into this pop-up maximum (the default value is 20).

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Why does apple ipad and iphone have problems with comcast?

We attempt to send pictures through our comcast wifi account and gets to about 90%and freezes. Have reset modem, and router, have turned off phone and reset it. Have switched to 4G then pictures will send. Only has problem when connected to wifi. As my ipad is wifi, I cannot send pictures at all with it.
Did not have this problem until iOS 6 update.
Any suggestions?

My iPad and other devices have no problems with Comcast, but I didn't get my WiFi router from them. If you did, your router may need a firmware update, or you may need to get a different model of router.

Why does apple let the app whisper use my udid i thought it banned apps from doing so

please i need help beacuse the so called whisper app banned my device(phone) and they access udid inorder to do so. my question would be so whoever ends up with the phone that was once banned cant access the app which is unfair because thats like being chraged a crime you didnt even do

I don't believe the UDID is protected in any way but I'm guessing they actually banned your IMEI.

Is apple ever going to respond to proximity sensor problems?

apple has responded to the antenna problem, how about this one? i HATE my iphone becaus eof the proximity sensor problem. i hang up on calls all the time.

I had the same problem. I took it to the Apple Store. The man helping me said that the sensor was hardware. No software fix he was aware of. I demonstrated the problem to him. He brought out a store phone to compare to. He simply said "I'm sold" and he brought me a new phone immediately. He also placed mine in a special case with my name printed out on the label to be sent to Apple so that they could examine the phone and try to learn more. Indeed, I believe that they are concerned, but I also believe that they will have to have more returns before it becomes a serious issue to them. By the way, my new phone is "better" but I still occasionally "Cheek dial" or hang up on people. I have found that sliding the phone back a bit so that my ear canal is not directly over the sensor works, and I can still hear the call. Hopefully a software fix WILL resolve this, since a reset has helped some.

Will the return policy be extended for the proximity sensor fix?

I've had a lot of problems with my new iphone, but the worst one is the proximity sensor. On 80% of my calls my cheek has accidentally muted, placed on hold, hung up on, called someone else, and/or started composing an email. The phone is unusable for me in this condition. If the proximity sensor gets fixed, I'd keep the phone. If it doesn't, then I can't keep it. My phone shipped on July 6. Will the proximity sensor fix be released before my 30 day return policy expires? Will the policy be extended until the fix comes out?

No one here knows any more than what was previously announced by Apple. We are just iPhone users like yourself - Apple doesn't officially participate in this forum.
A future software update to fix the proximity sensor problem was announced, but no date was mentioned. The 30 day return policy applies to all iPhones, for any reason. No extensions beyond 30 days have been announced.

Disabling the Proximity Sensor

I frequently use skype on my android to do video calls, and sometimes I want to tab out of the call to look something up in my browser. Unfortunately, when I tab out of the video call, skype seems to register the call as an audio call and switches on my proximity sensor. This is annoying, as my fingers trying to manipulate the screen will instantly turn off my phone's screen while I am trying to use it, and then I have to swipe to unlock the screen once I take my finger away from the sensor.
I am wondering if there is a way to disable the proximity sensor for skype. Turning off the phone's proximity sensor in the call menu does not disable the proximity sensor in skype, I have tried this solution. I use an unrooted Galaxy S4, if that is at all relevent.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Even if you do not know for sure, any ideas anyone can toss out may help me in figuring it out myself.

I've seen the Krusell case for the 5800 and although it has 2 holes cut out at the top, they are for the camera and light sensor. not the proximity sensor which is still covered up. Another case i've seen (PDAir has one long hole cut out going from the light sensor to the camera. this ones seems to work ok as the proximity sensor is not covered. an easy fix is to cut the strip of leather out dividing the camera and light sensor. Depends whether you're willing to cut up a £20 case.

Why does Apple not give a list of error messages and possible solutions? I have the (-54) error continually that has suddenly appeared and cannot find a solution, even though other users seem to have the same problem.

In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

That is the point of a beta version.
Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. "

Why does Apple misslead us selling what appears to be Game of Thrones Season 2 when in fact all it is - is a few trailers and the actual program is only available 18th Feb - this gives me a real bad feeling toward Apple and its branding!!!! deceitful

Why does Apple misslead us by selling what appears to be Season 2 Game Of Thrones when in fact it is only some timewasting trailers and the actual program is only available on 18th February 2013!
Deceitful comes to mind....
I am sure they will say it is in the small print and you should have read it and what you got was these 'Really Cool Trailers'......but come on Apple - don't screw up your BRAND now if you carry on you will have a core problem! My trust is waning.
Its is not like Aple will be stocked-out on the 18th February is it - in reality I guess they just want the money upfront well in advance of delivering the product....just not on Steve will be turning in his grave.....

etresoft, I think you are being unnecessarily harsh to gloriastitz. She is frustrated and doesn't understand computers at the level you do. What she is experiencing is frustrating, so she is frustrated. I have been a help-desk professional for over 15 years now, and emotions are part of the business.
I know it has been over 6 months since gloriastitz posted her reply. I hope she got a useful answer, but I fear we have satisfactorily scared her away from seeking help.
So, the first best response to tell someone is that the problem they are experience is almost certainly fixable, but may require more information to solve. You tell them you understand their frustration (even if you personally don't experience frustration or don't understand why people my express frustration publicly about a problem that frustrates them). It's just good protocol.
Then you work with the person to break down the problem into steps. If you don't have a ready answer and don't think you might even know the answer with sufficient data, then back out and leave it to others to tackle.
I've been having a similar problem with my Mail program. The cause is still unclear to me after vieweing the logs and changing settings where I know them to be. There appears to be a setting that is not clearly placed in any of the typical UI locations for initiating the desired action for either a feed: or mailto: call.

I think you are. This is not a place to rant and complain. It will just encourage people to give you unhelpful responses. If you want to complain, go elsewhere. If you want help, ask for it.
For example, can you explain what those dialog boxes actually say? Regardless of who is starting Mail, it will not prevent your machine from sleeping.

Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com. You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

Is the proximity sensor a bigger problem than the antenna?

A lot of fuss has been made about the reception if you hold the antenna in your left hand. By far the bigger problem is the location of the proximity sensor. On the iPhone 2, 3 and 3gs it was on the top left of the screen where it worked faultlessly. On the iPhone 4 it is on the top middle. The sensor detects the light, releases the keypad and your cheek will hang up, mute the call, select hands free, or face time. The worst manifestation is if you rest the phone between your ear and your shoulder. Perhaps people are assuming that the 'dropped' call is caused by the antenna problem. In fact it's caused by your cheek. I have a problem on about 50% of calls rising to 95% if I put it to my shoulder. It's not fit for purpose.
Please apple do something about this. It gives the world's apple haters ammunition.

Thanks to both of you. I do own a licensed version of 10.5--just one that was purchased before my MacBook Pro. I think you are both saying that if I find a version of a Leopard install disk that was produced after my computer was built, then it should install a "universal" system that can be used by any computer. However, I cannot take my licensed version of 10.5, which was produced before my MBP, update it, and then expect the MBP to boot off it. (It is tempting to try, tho).
That's not my understanding. I thought that even with newer versions of the OS, it would only install components that are specific to the machine type. I would think that it's not universal but one that is specifically tailored for the machine to avoid unnecessary overhead.
Driver updates are already available in Software Update or individually downloaded update packages, such as 10.5.6 to 10.5.7. The way I understand it, the update package would contain everything needed for all machines, but only the required drivers for the individual machine would be installed, and the package eventually deleted (in Software Update). There have been combo (as well as separate) PowerPC and Intel downloadable updates to Leopard, but I doubt that they would install all the drivers needed for all the machines.
To be honest, I don't actually know if the license I purchased when I bought my Leopard disk (10.5.4, I think) gives me the right to use a 10.5.7 install disk, or only to use a 10.5.4 disk + updates to 10.5.7. A small point, and I think (or, at least, I hope) Apple will not really care.
I would think you would need a physical copy of the install software.
