Why does deleting bookmarks content generate Internet traffic

Deleting the content of Bookmarks generates outgoing Internet traffic, verified by Kaspersky Internet Security and a traffic monitor.
It appears that Firefox not only keeps a html copy of Bookmarks content in the Profile but store a copy some place out there on the Internet. If this is so surely that is an invasion of privacy.
Anyone know nore on this?

All versions of Firefox by default will try to connect to the internet, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+makes+unrequested+connections

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Why does deleting a photo from Photo Stream on my iPad also delete them from the album I just copied them to?

    I'm working hard a mastering the details of icloud and iPhoto. I would like to have a well designed sets of pictures to carry around on the iPad, but after months it seems I'm still surprised when I open my photo app. Pictures I don't care about are there; pictures I tried to have available to show are missing. Well,  I'm slowly working through it. This is not my main question today but a referral to a good info source(s) would appreciated.
    So why does it happen that when I copy pictures from Photo Stream to an existing album, then go and delete them from photo stream, they pictures are deleted from the album where I thought they would be safe?
    Thank you!

    Pictures on Photo Stream remain there for only 30 days by design.  So if you setup PS on your Mac and add photos to it they will display on the iPad.  However, to remain on the iPad you will have to move them to the Camera Roll (I only have an iPhone and that's what it's called on it) in order to keep them permanently.  This screenshot shows the save options  on the iPhone when photos in the Photo Stream are seledted. Notice the option in the lower right hand corner:
    It probably is similar on the iPad.
    Or, you can put the photos in an album in iPhoto and connect the iPad to your Mac.  Open iTunes and go to the iPad's Pictures section.  There you can select the album in iPhoto and sync those photos to the iPad where they will be in the Camera Roll section.l

  • TS4022 Why does my icloud open in internet explorer when it is not my main browser?

    Why does icloud open in internet explorer when I use Google as my main browser? I did something to make it happen and can't find how to change it back.

    Hey man I was having the same problem and I found the answer.... Im going to put the steps you have to follow.
    1.Open www.icloud.com on your Internet Explorer and if you're signed in you have to sign out.
    2. Open www.icould.com on your Google Chrome and then sign in and click on the box that says "stay signed in" or something like that.
    3. Try to open icloud the normal way you do it and it has to open on Chrome.
    This worked for me, hopefully it works for you man, let me know.

  • Why does streaming video freeze and Internet not allow me to search Web when I airplay content from my MacBook Pro?

    I just bought Apple TV and my internet connection seems to cut out. I can't browse the internet once this happens? Once I unplug Apple TV and refresh router I get it back. What can I do to resolve this problem?

    I am having the same problem.  The MacBook Pro does not come with a startup disk so how can I get into the computer to begin anything?

  • Why does all the content delete from my iPod everytime it connects to iTunes

    I'm getting real frustrated and I am getting sick of the same thing happening everytime. I don't know if it's my computer or if it's iTunes. I have an iPod classic 160Gb, the computer is Acer - Aspire One 772 (it's junk, but it works for the time being) Windows 7 (64)
    Here is what happens: I only have podcasts in my iTunes. I have about 15 different podcasts and about 169 episodes in my iTunes. I check and download episodes daily. After downloading episodes, I hook up my iPod to transfer new podcasts to the iPod. iTunes shows everything working fine but after ejecting my pod and looking to see if they transferred they are all deleted. I get angry and want to break everything but I resist.
    To get podcasts onto my iPod I have to restart my computer, open iTunes, reset sync history, then connect my iPod. It doesn't get recognized, so I have to restore the iPod. After restoring I sync it up. Lately it has been freezing during the sync at about 65 episodes. I have to force iTunes to shut down and sometimes go through the restore process. So after listening to my iPod all day, I will come home, check for and download new episodes and hook up my iPod and bam...no more podcasts on my iPod. I need solutions on what could be causing this and how to fix it.
    This is what I have done so far: I have tried another iPod classic and the same thing happens. I have deleted iTunes and reinstalled it. I have checked the iPods with Windows for errors and bad sectors. My last option that I am holding out on, is to delete iTunes and delete all the podcasts from the computer. When I first got this temp. computer everything worked good. I do not know what happened.
    Any ideas, thoughts and solutions are welcomed.
    Thanks,
    Kenny

  • Why does deleted content reappear on my iPhone when I connect via USB?

    I recently upgraded from a 3GS to a 4S, and I'm having an issue that's never been a problem before.  I notice that music or video that I delete from my iPhone reappears when I connect to iTunes via USB.  Nothing is moved over, either: the videos are just listed as if never removed.
    I am deleting this videos by swiping across after viewing on phone.  They disappear, so I am not overlooking anything on that front.  Similarly, I don't sync video or music -- I have manual management checked in iTunes.
    Any ideas what might be happening, and how I can fix it?

    And almost 2 years later this is still happening - I delete TV Shows and Movies from my iPad 2 (iOS6) or iPhone (iOS6) and as soon as I connect the devices to my mac by USB they reappear (even though my setting is to manually manage everything). This then screws up syncing like this morning where I tried to add 2 new movies - as it was syncing I realised that the previous 2 had reappeared so I wouldn't have space to add them. I deleted them via iTunes and the sync appeared to be successful - until I turned on the iPad on the train to be greeted by a message saying that the 2 items couldn't be synced.

  • Why does OWB 9.2 generate UK's on higher levels of a dimension?

    When you specify levels in a dimension, OWB 9.2 generates unique key constraints in the table properties for every level, but only the UK on the lowest level is visible in the configuration properties. Why then are these higher level UK's generated? Is this a half baked attempt to implement the possiblility to generate a snow flake model in OWB?
    Jaap.

    Piotr, Roald and others,
    This is indeed a topic we spend a lot of our time on these past months. We are addressing this as (in my old days I had the same problem as a consultant) we know that this is a common problem.
    So the solution is one that goes in 2 directions:
    - Snowflake support
    - Advanced dimension data loading
    Snowflake is obvious, may not be desired for various reasons but we will start supporting this and loading data for it in mapping.
    If you want a star table, you will know that a completely flattened table with day at the lowest level will not be able to get you a unique entry for month. So what people tend to do is one of the following:
    - Proclaim the first of the month the Month entry point (this stays closest to the star table and simply relies on semantics on both ETL and query side).
    - Create extra day level entries which simbolize the month, so you have a day level with extra entries
    - Create views, extra tables etc to cover the extra data
    - Create a data set within the tables that solves the key problem
    We have opted for the last one. What you need to do for this is a set of records that uniquely identify any record in any level. Then you add a key which links to the dimension at the same point (a dimension key), so all facts always use this surrogate key to link (makes life in query tools easier).
    For a time dimension you will have a set of day records with their months etc in them (the regular star). Then you add a set of records with NULL in the day having months and up. And you go up the hierarchy. For this we will have the ETL logic (in other words you as a designer do not worry about this!). On the query tool you must be a little cautious on counts but this is doable and minor.
    As you can see none of the solutions are completely transparent, but we believe this is one that solves a lot of problems and gives you the best of all worlds. We will also support the same data structure in the OLAP dimensions for the database as well in the relational dimension. NOTE that there are some disclaimers with this as we are doing software here...
    In principal however we will solve your problem.
    Hope this explains some of our plans in this area.

  • Why does deleting a photo take so long?

    Every time I delete a photo, Aperture stops, the pointer turns into a beach ball and about 5-10 seconds later, the single picture is deleted. Why is this happening? It's really tedious when you are trying to delete a number of pictures.

    I do believe Apple strongly recommends your Aperture Library be on an internal drive. Physically it will run on an external drive but it is not recommended. You may have some other large files that could be relocated to an external drive so you can put Aperture on the internal drive.
    Aperture 3 is adept at handling multiple Aperture Libraries so you might consider breaking up your large library into a few smaller libraries. Perhaps one library per calendar year?
    Within the running Aperture 3 program you can easily switch between multiple libraries but the libraries you are using most (such as your "Aperture 2010 Library" for example) should be on an internal drive. I suspect Aperture 3 is doing more behind-the-scenes work than iPhoto and that will make a difference in performance especially if the libraries are external.
    Your thoughts?
    Thanks for your comments. Seems to me that I should be able to store the library externally, but I called Apple to ask. They said you can, but that USB is not recommended, so I am going to try using my firewire drive instead and see if that helps. Also think I may try splitting my library into two parts. I understand that it's easy to switch to the other and that can help performance, but Apple felt strongly that the firewire was a much better option. Didn't think it mattered for pictures, but I guess it does.
    Using the internal is really not that easy. Don't know where all the space goes, but my documents and pictures only account for about 16gb. Apps take 15gb. Music 30gb. That's 61gb out of 320gb, but I only have 87gb available. Where does it go???
    I will report back...

    None of my unordered lists are displaying properly.  I am using the Dreamweaver Revealed tutorial textbook, and I am using the css's that came with the book, so I did not design them...
    But what kind of textbook is going to tell me to make unordered list, but give me css's that won't allow them to properly display?
    What happens is that when I format a list as an unordered list, all of the items are indented together as one item, and there is no bullet.  Also, ordered lists do the same thing.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on?  To give an example :
    Seasonal Gardening Checklist
    Fall – The time to plant trees and spring-blooming bulbs. Take the time to clean the leaves and dead foliage from your beds and lawn.Winter – The time to prune fruit trees and finish planting your bulbs. Don’t forget to water young trees when the ground is dry.Spring – The time to prepare your beds, plant annuals, and apply fertilizer to established plants. Remember to mulch to maintain moisture and prevent weed growth.Summer – The time to supplement rainfall so that plants get one inch of water per week. Plant your vegetable garden and enjoy bountiful harvests until late fall.
    This is what the list looks like, but each bold word is supposed to be a bulleted item.
    That doesnt look like you have any <li></li> tags in your code at all...have you taken a look?

  • Why does deleting a calendar appointment on an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.2 not send a cancellation notice to attendees?

    The company I work for runs Microsoft Exchange 2010 servers on premise. I have an Exchange account configured on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.2. I am finding that if I choose to Delete an event from the Calender app on the iphone, the event is being removed from the iphone, and from the Exchange server, but the other people that are invited to the meeting are not receiving cancellation notices, nor is the event being deleted from their Exchange calendars. Why not?

    I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought  last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
    That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
    Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
    Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S.  Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
    The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
    I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
    It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.
    Discouraged....

  • Why does the bookmark button keeps moving from navigation to bookmark toolbar when I don't put it there; how to solve this?

    Because my screen isn't that big, I want my bookmark-toolbar-items (the item for the special bookmarks folder) to take all width, and I want the bookmarks button on the navigation toolbar (because I don't need such a long url field).
    As you can edit the toolbars and their buttons, I did change it to what I want, but whenever saving & closing the edit-window the bookmarks button (with the drop-down menu) moves down one toolbar automatically. This is very, very annoying, not the least because in the editing mode it is ok (it also is saved correctly).
    Any way to overcome this problem?

    When the Bookmarks Toolbar is displayed, the Bookmarks button automatically moves from the Navigation Toolbar to the Bookmarks Toolbar. This is intended behavior. I can't tell you ''why'' though, as it doesn't make any sense to me either and I likely find it twice as annoying as you do.

  • Why does Shockwave crash ALL my internet browsers?

    Hi I have a really annoying problem with Shockwave that started only a few days ago. Whenever I load up a web browser and try to start an application which uses Shockwave, specifically using a Webcam in websites, the browser always crashes. This happens in Chrome, Firefox and also IE. Also, whenever I try to change 'Audio & Video Settings' in MSN Messenger, Messenger freezes and I have to close the program. I am also now not able to view videos in youtube and other video sites. Is this problem related to my webcam? The webcam I am using is a Logitech Pro9000, and my operating system is Windows 7, upgraded from Vista. I have also noticed occasionally opening My Documents, and whenever i try to cut and paste something from there, it crashes. If I try to open it again I get a message saying 'Remote control procedure failed and did not execute'.
    Now, I have looked on similar forums and they have mentioned something about ITC audio, which I cannot find in my program list or device manager. So I don't think that is the problem. Also, I have deleted a few programs and other large files off the computer but still no result. Maybe I accidentally removed something that is required for these programs to work consistently? Are there any other solutions? This problem is really getting on my nerves and I am really beginning to despise Logitech and Adobe for probably no reason.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
