Why is it when I choose "block cookies always" I still get lots of cookies showing in my preferences even though I clear them after every use

Why is it when I choose "block cookies always" I still get lots of cookies showing up when I look at my preferences. I always clear my cookies after each use but I don't understand how I can get any at all if they are supposed to block cookies always? I have a desk top Mac and am using safari.

Safari caches cookies in memory and will sometimes write them back to disk after they've been deleted, for reasons known only to the developers. After deleting cookies, quit Safari immediately, then relaunch it. The cookies should now be gone for good, or until you visit the same sites again.

I uninstalled iTunes from my laptop. Now when I click on the download button I get the message thank you for downloading itunes even though it has not been downloaded. Why is this happening?

My iTunes could not find either my iPhone or my iPad even though it was found by my laptop running on Windows 8.1. After some basic trouble shooting I followed all the steps to uninstall iTunes along with all its components. When I tried to once again download iTunes I was taken to the next window which said thankyou for downloading iTunes even though iTunes was neither downloaded nor installed on my laptop. How do I download and install iTunes on my laptop now?

Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

When I send email from gmail, the receiver gets lots of "boxes" at the end of the message. I can send gmail using my Chrome browser without their getting the boxes.

This just began happening yesterday. It only happens (as far as I can tell) with some recipients. I have tried quite a few things and nothing seems to work. Help please!

Why does Safari still accept cookies, even when I put Block Cookies "Always"

Why does Safari still accept cookies, even when I put Block Cookies "Always",? There are always a list of every website with cookies. Is that just a record of what could've been accepted or its a bogus feature that still accepts regardless of what feature is on?

Apple has rolled over users since OS X 10.6.8 when this issue first appeared.
If you want a browser that actually CARES about it's users, then install Firefox, it's the only one that does.

I have an iPhone 4 but when I block a number it still gets through

So I really want to block this number, I don't want to talk to this guy anymore. He's just bothering me and I want nothing to do with him. I blocked him before and it worked but it isn't working now. I have the iPhone 4 and he has an iPhone also but not sure which one. I know he doesn't have verizon.
Why won't it let me block him for the 90 day period? It says you can block up to 5 numbers for free. How can I fix it? Thanks for your help, I really want this number blocked.

If they are still getting through using text messages, you should probably turn off your iMessages or change the settings for it to use only your phone number and not your Apple ID for transmitting the messages over the data connection.

Third-party cookies: Should I be concerned that I am forced to accept in order to access a site, if I delete them after every Firefox session?

Friday 16 August, 2012
My internet service provider (https://my.gci.net/) blocks my entry to eMailGuard (a GCI spam and virus isolator) when I have third-party cookies disabled
When I allow third-party cookies I am able to access eMailGuard. I have used GCI eMailGuard and Firefox together for years and have had no such difficulty in the past.
This problem commenced 2-3 weeks ago.
I have followed all directions at http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-say-cookies-are-blocked-unblock-them to clear all cookies and cache, with no change. Also, my default setting (see below) is to “Clear history when Firefox closes.” If I understand correctly, clearing history will also clear cookies and cache, so I do it every time I close Firefox.
Has Firefox changed third-party cookies parameters recently? GCI of course claims this is a browser issue. Should I be concerned about third-party cookies if I delete them after every Firefox session? Any comments or thoughts are greatly appreciated.
My current version is Firefox v.14.0.1
My Privacy settings are:
• Tools\Options\Privacy
• Use custom settings for history
My selected (checked) custom settings are as follows:
• Remember my browsing history
• Remember download history
• Remember search and form history
• Accept cookies from sites (third-party cookies not selected)
• Keep until: I close Firefox
• Clear history when Firefox closes
Thanks,

''Keep until: I close Firefox''
That's what I use for all cookies. If you start a new session every time you start Firefox, i.e., you don't resume the same session over and over, websites cannot track you 'across sessions' using cookies; you are a new person to them during each session (unless/until you log in).
Note that "Flash cookies" need to be managed separately.
As for this particular site, if you want to spend some time research it, you could install an add-on such as Firebug or the external Fiddler2 proxy. Both will show you each request made by the browser when you load a page. Then you can see which third party sites are involved and if you like make a specific entry to allow them in the Exceptions dialog.

HT4914 I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud via Match, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

YOU can't fix it. But you can bring it in to Apple for an out of warranty replacement for $199.

When trying to send a photo via email, I am prompted to setup an email account even though email is already setup. What would cause this?

when trying to send a photo via email, I am prompted to setup an email account even though email is already setup. What would cause this? Better yet, how do I fix it?

I have checked this on my device. I see a Default account under Messages created outside of Mail will be sent from the default account. There is an account selected, though it does not show my exchnage account. If it is only an exchange accout, can that not be used for this?

Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

I think I know the problem because I've had it myself. I didn't upgrade iWorks on my iPad, but after Apple made changes to iCloud (concurrent with Mavericks) any docs passing through it were modified and made unreadable. Even though, as you say, they were created on my iPad using the previous version of iOS Pages, which I didn't upgrade.
iCloud is the culprit, if your iPad settings had iCloud>Documents & Data enabled, the docs were modified and disabled in the cloud.
I made a further mistake. After I saw this happening, I didn't think to turn off auto updates, and Apple pushed the new version of iOS Pages onto my iPad. The result was that ALL my docs disappeared from the iPad, and from iCloud.com also. I have not been able to recover them.
I've been talking to the Pages engineering team about it. If they come up with an answer, I'll post it here. Meanwhile, get those older files backed up somewhere safe if you can.

When I open firefox it is returning to the last viewed page instead of my homepage even though I have the settings set to clear history every time I close Firefox. I check and all of the previous history is still there and not deleted..

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.
