Why doesn't icloud keep me logged in or remember me? I have to log in each time I re-open my browser.

Why doesn't Icloud remember me any more....it used to. Now I have to type in my user name and password each time I open the connection to icloud in Windows 7. What's up?

Why doesn't iCloud retain hyperlinks or live URL addresses in iCloud contacts?

Why doesn't iCloud retain hyperlinks or live URL addresses in contacts?
Hardware/Software Setup Scenario:
PC with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 7 Pro at home for which all ISP (Cox Communications) e-mail is integrated with Microsoft Outlook 7. New Apple iPhone 4S linked to MS Outlook Contacts, Calendars, Tasks (Reminders) and Notes via iCloud. All e-mail bypasses iCloud (not needed).
Problem:
When initially migrating Microsoft Office 7 Contacts to Contacts in iCloud, Outlook creates a new folder named "Contacts in iCloud," which does synchronize quickly with your iCloud Contacts folder (in Outlook) on your computer at home and your iPhone when you're on the road. That is a great thing to have, and it works well for my calendar, which constantly changes. The unfortunate predicament is that there are some major problems that occur when you convert your Contacts records to iCloud as follows.
My Contact Notes in Microsoft Office 7, which contain rich formatted text, Microsoft program hyperlinks and live URL addresses (web sites, email addresses, etc.) are all lost because iCloud converts all of it into basic text, rendering the entire Contact Notes box useless. The only way to note a hyperlink is to go back to the web site or email address (if you still have it) and copy the properties in plain text into your notes -- not a reasonable solution.
An additional problem seen when moving Outlook Contacts to Contacts in iCloud is that the Contact Notes in the new "Contacts in iCloud" are systematically affected by sporadically dropped spaces between words requiring a manual or spell check "cleanup" of every contact -- not reasonable for a folder of approximately 1,000 contacts.
I have also found that importing my Outlook Contacts into iCloud empties the Outlook "Contacts" folder. Once you have created your new "Contacts in iCloud" folder, the Outlook contacts are gone for good, unless you want to retrieve them from a backup file. The problem is that Outlook will only allow one of these two Contact folders for use; so you’re faced with choosing between syncing your Outlook Contacts manually between your iPhone on iTunes using the USB cable connected to your computer -- not reasonable for someone on the move; or, transfer your contacts to iCloud live with worthless notes for your contacts.
Can anyone suggest a better work around?

I'm replying to myself here, but just in case someone else has this problem: I uninstalled the Avery Toolbar and iCloud works on by browser once again. I don't know why or how Avery Toolbar makes a difference, but apparently, it does. If anyone knows how or why, I'd be interested.

Why doesn't iCloud retain hyperlinks or live URL addresses in the iCloud address book imported from Internet Explorer 7 to my iPhone 4S?

I do have both of those, but only iCloud shows up in my Contacts sidebar, and addresses are being sent there so I guess it's the default. Funny how this stuff is all so murky.
Not murky at all:
And as the On My Mac account does not show then it is empty. (It's visible if it is the default or if it has any content)
I haven't come across your last point, (no email address) so no help there I'm afraid.

Why doesn't ICloud have My Correct Apple ID??

I updated to the New iOS7 and the Cloud still has my old Apple ID as [email protected], that Apple ID has been changed along with the Pass Word over a Year Now. Why doesn't ICloud have the New One??
Thanks;

Tap AppleID, sign out then sign back in.

Why does iTunes invite me to log on every time I launch it?

Why does iTunes invite me to log on every time I launch it? It never used to do this. How can I stop it ? When I open the app I usually want to just listen to the music collection I have in it, not download anything or buy from the store.
How can I stop this default ?

I have checked and it isn't.
This never used to happen, but I suspect something changed at the last iTunes update.

ITunes keeps prompting me to reenter the security code for my credit card each time I make a purchase

ITunes keeps prompting me to reenter the security code for my credit card each time I make a purchase, saying my Windows 7 PC is a new device. However, the PC is on iTune's list of authorized devices for downloads. What's causing this? I do block cookies etc on browsers.

I don't know. No, it doesn't use your browser. Perhaps you should call and find out what the problem is.

I have a Sirius subscription. Do I have to enter password each time I log in?

I have a Sirius subscription. Do I have to enter password each time I log in?

That would depend on the application you're using to access Sirius, I would presume. What application do you use?
If you're using just a web browser, I don't have a subscription to confirm but it does look like it would require the user name and password whenever you reconnect. Sirius support or a Sirius-releated forum might be able to provide additional information.

I have to restart ipad each time for internet access. Why?

I have to restart ipad each time for internet access and some games. Never happened until about 2 weeks ago. ?

Firefox is a browser: it doesn't require you to 'sign in'.
It sounds to me like you have some kind of malware installed if you're required to 'sign in' every time you use it.
I'd recommend you use Internet Explorer (''assuming that doesn't require you to 'sign in' too'') to go to http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and download the free version. It will quarantine any malware it finds so restart Firefox afterwards to see whether the problem recurs or not.

CS5 resorts back to default settings each time it is opened. None of my preferances save. Why not?

Then your preferences are not being saved.
Assuming you actually quit Photoshop (instead of shutting down the machine) - your preferences should be saved whenever you exit Photoshop.
Most likely your preferences folder has the wrong permissions and the preferences are not being written on exit. What OS version are you using?

Why won't Firefox keeped me logged in to anything after I close and reopen it?

When I was running an older version of Firefox, when I would close a firefox window and later reopen it, I would stay logged in to everything: facebook, hotmail, gmail with multiple sign in, etc. It would also reload all the tabs I had open without me having to click "restore previous session" I liked this as I could close the window, but keep everything that I was working on or wanted open in Firefox without having to pull it all up again. I have since upgraded to the newest version after installing a new hard drive (Windows 7 still), but whenever I close Firefox, I am logged out of everything and my previous tabs don't restore unless I click "restore previous session" (that still will keep me logged out of everything, even if I click it).
How do I set up Firefox to not log me out whenever I close the browser and to automatically restore my previous session?
browser.sessionstore.privacy_level is set to 0 and I do not have "Clear history when Firefox closes" checked.
Please help! Thanks!

There is also the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref that is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and uses the same values.

Why won't firefox keep me logged in on mozilla website?

I came here, registered, went to email, clicked activation link. error reported with link, with suggestion that I clicked wrong link, but it's the ONLY link in the email.
Came back to mozilla site, tried my login and p/w...surprise!..got logged in!
No checkbox for keeping me logged in automatically everytime I visit mozilla site, but FF will remember login details, si I have to click 'sign in' link everytime, which wouldn't be so bad, but when I'm trying to reply to somebody having issues that I've had before, it becomes more than just a minor nuisance having to reload the page yet again.
Is this an intenional thing with mozilla to not have their own browser not automatically logging into it's own site?
Is it a site upgrade/suggestion thing?
Either way, it's almost enough to make me wonder just what you guys smoke when you design webpages, cos I thought this was supposed to be a "personal, customisable' browser that automatically signed in when visiting a page.
There's not even an option for it on the profile page.
I am the only one using my computer, so I see no point in NOT allowing it to happen.
Is this auto sign in never going to happen for this site, or is it going to be implemented in the near future?

Why won't Firefox keep me logged in to a particular site (i.e. my email, Facebook) even after I check box to keep me logged in?

Every time I open up Firefox I have to re-log in to my email, and re-log in to Facebook, when, really, I should be kept logged in indefinitely as I check off the box that says to keep me logged in. It's a nuisance. How do I fix this?
