Won't keep Google Prefs

Greetings and Happy New Year!
Safari 3.2.1 won't save/keeps dropping(?) Google prefs on my 10.4.11 eMac. Any suggestions helpful -- especially those where I don't have to re-create hundreds of cookies!
James Greenidge

Your cookies file could be corrupted, so it doesn't save anything beyond your current browsing session. Try this:
1. Quit Safari if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Cookies and remove the Cookies.plist file.
3. Restart Safari and go to those sites again and test whether or not this behavior persists. If not, then you should delete the Cookies.plist file you previously removed; you will need to go back to those sites you were keeping cookies for previously to set a new cookie.

  • Firefox won't load google image search results

    Firefox won't load google search results. It will load the page of results with the thumbnails etc. but if you click any of them, just a loading spinning icon appears on the tab and it never loads.
    I have tried:
    Both logged in and out of google account,
    All other areas of google work with no problems (news, shopping etc.),
    Site working perfectly in Internet Explorer,
    Running firefox in safemode,
    Manually disabling all plugins and addons,
    Clearing the cache and cookies,
    Opening results in new tab just results in white page with web address but it never loads,
    Restarting both my PC and router.
    It's not been working for at least the past 6 hours. Last time I used it was about a week ago and it was working fine then. I've not noticed any problems on any other sites this week that I can recall.

    Updating firefox to version 17.0 appears to have solved this.

  • Safari won't open google, facebook and other selected sites?

    My internet is working but for some reason safari won't open selected sites - seems like it's loading and says "contacting (website)" and nothing happens. Any advice?

    Hi,
    I tried doing that, still won't open google?
    After a few minutes of waiting I am now getting this error message:
    Safari can’t open the page.
    Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.ca/”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
    It says "lost network connection" but all other internet applications continue to run...So I am clearly not losing my connection.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks so much.

  • Do I need to do a total reset on my 3gs so that it won't keep updating every time it gets near my 4gs?

    Do I need to do a total reset on my 3gs so that it won't keep updating every time it gets near my 4gs? I've created a separate ID to use with the 3gs already.
    Help...
    Thanks!

    It has nothing to do with "getting near: the other iPhone.
    They are using the same AppleID for iCloud.
    On the 3GS, Setttings > icCloud, delete the iCloud account and turn it on using the new AppleID.
    Whatever I have changed on my 4S...notes, apps..etc.
    Settings > iTunes & App stores.
    Tap your ApleID, sign out then sign in with new AppleID.

  • I upgraded my iMac to Lion and now it won't keep a wireless connection. Any suggestions on what I can try?

    Upgraded my 27" iMac (4 GB memore/3.2 GHz Intel Core i3) to Lion 10.7 and now it won't keep a connection to my wireless. I've had to shift over to working on my MacBook Pro which is also upgraded to Lion but showing no problems whatsoever.
    I bought the iMac this summer, refurbished from Apple. I've also never been able to get it to play video ... might or might not be related to the problem here. (yes, I've updated the silverlight)
    Any suggestions on what it might be or what I can try?

    Have you used Software Update to update to 10.7.1. That update was suppose to fix some WiFi Issues.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4764

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

  • I heard the iOS 6 will not be available on the iPad 1 , will I be able to keep Google maps?

    I heard ios 6 will not be available on iPad 1 ,will I be able to keep Google maps ?

    Short answer: Yes.
    Long answer: The Maps application on iOS5 is, as I understand it, a custom front end for Google Maps that was created by Apple. It should continue to function indefinitely, so long as something does not change on the Google side that would prevent it from accessing their servers. Although I qualified the answer, it doesn't seem likely that Google would do such a thing.

  • How can i keep google maps in ios v6

    Is there any way to keep google maps on my iPhone after upgrade to iOS 6?

    Use Safari to go to Google Maps. Or wait for Google to release a Google Maps app in the App Store.

  • Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari.

    Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari, cache and also changed my Yahoo password but problem is still there.

    I still don't understand what the problem that you are experiencing is. If you get to a page where yahoo is asking JUST for your password, and there is no box for username (it may have your username displayed, but not in a enter box), then you ARE "being kept signed in"  You can verify this by instead of entering your password, go to www.yahoo.com home page, and it will say something like "Hi, Amber"   This means you ARE signed in.
    When you get that page asking for just your password, you are NOT being asked to sign in again. You are simply being asked to verify/enter your assword an Nth time. If you get that page right after entering your username and password, try clicking the "back" (previous page) button. It might just go to your inbox.
    If this is the case, your problem has nothing to do with being kept signed in or not, the problem is that for some (unknown to me) reason, yahoo is asking you to re-enter your password, kind of like when your mac asks for your mac password when changing system settings. Yahoo does this as a safety feature when you go to account settings, and apparently abritary other times. I wish I understood just why I get it every time after signing in.
    It could be because I have java turned off. It could be because I don't accept third party cookies. Maybe a cache file. Or a hundred other things... I don't know. It could simply be yahoo is scrooing safari users. I have glanced at the html, but to really understand it, it would take me days. There are over 25 places where username and password are in the html "source" code of the yahoo login page, and even understanding that may not tell me. In the past, I have seen code essentiall saying "if IE x.3.2" do this, if chrome do that, if mozilla do something else, otherwise make it next to impossible...."
    My problem is not only I get asked for my assword a second time, but also (and only very recently) I do not get a prompt to save username and pasword. I have gone to yahoo help pages to try to figure it out, and I feel like I just run in circles. If one wants to send a question in, they have to answer half a dozen questions disclosing private information. And I pay yahoo $20/year. grrr
    If when you are trying to access your yahoo mail and you are being asked to enter both your username and password, but didn't sign out of yahoo, then indeed your are not being "kept signed in"

  • Iphone won't keep battery charge - this is my third iphone!

    After a year of no iphone problems, using wifi all the time (no bluetooth) suddenly my phone wouldn't keep its charge. Apple happily replaced it. The replacement phone had even worse problems within a few days, and they replaced that one too. Now my third iphone won't keep a charge. I have bluetooth and wifi turned off, and I don't autocheck my email messages. With no usage, the battery is down 25% 12 hours after a full charge. I feel like the problem must be on my end, but what could it be? This phone has only been synced with my computer once or twice. I have made NO modifications of any kind to the phone or itunes. Please help! Should I try to exchange this one too?!!

    Hey you are not alone Nathan I am on my 4th IPhone and the last one they gave me, The apple store never did a Full Restore I found under settings Calltime of 4 days 21 hours and I had just got the phone the day before I called Apple they told ME to do a Full Restore. lol, there has to be a problem with these Phones Batteries are they not suppose to last more than 5 hours before going RED!!! That is the reason for the new 3g IPhone. But we paid $400.00 plus the new ones pay $199.00. omg Now I know for a fact were all of our monies are going.

  • Safari won't open google or gmail

    Hello,
    I have the same problem. My safari won't open google or gmail or anything that is google related.
    Only that  when I try to get into google, I get this message:
    "Safari can't open the page "https://www.gmail.com/intl/en/mail/help/about.html" because safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "www.gmail.com".
    Any solution for this?

  • Safari won't make Google my default search engine. + Top Sites issue.

    hello
    I am running 10.9.5, latest iMac, latest Safari.
    Here's my issue. Safari won't make Google my default search engine.
    I switched it in preferences, and it says the default search engine is 'Google', as well as saying it even saying 'Google' in the Toolbar text field.
    However the results always come back in Yahoo. I've tried resetting Safari, opening and closing the app but no luck.
    Also I have it set to show 24 Top Sites, but it only displays 12 and it's been stuck on the same 12 sites for 2 days.
    I'm assuming these two might be related as they are both preferences which stubbornly refuse to save as defaults.
    Any one else having these issues? Anyone know how to fix?
    Thanks!
    ;D

  • HT4623 How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps

    How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps?

    I disagree, Mr. WJ:
    If Matt had updated his iPhone via the Cloud and not by USB cable to his computer, the old IOS would still be on the computer and he would be able to "restore" to it. It would depend on what his backup settings were configured.
    For instance, I always backup to my computer at home. But, in the last few days I was notified that IOS 6.1 came out. So, if I wanted, I could install the update via WIFI from where I am at work. But, my old IOS would still be safe on my home computer that I can restore from if need be.
    And then you basically repeated what I stated about Google Maps being a app you can download now.
    Who loves ya, baby?

  • Mac safari won't keep my logged in

    My mac's safari will not keep me logged into sites that I clicked "keep me logged in" with. It used to but once I downloaded the newest software for my Mac it doesn't anymore. Instead, when I open a page it'll keep my username and password in the given boxes but I have to click sign in every time.

    i'm running windows xp but i think i found the equivelant file in C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Apple Computer\Preferences
    i deleted this and it appears to have reset safari but once i close the broswer, it still won't keep me logged into twitter. thanks for your help, i hope you have more ideas lol
