Jan 13, 2011
there is a site that i frequent and the password was changed on me but strangely i can still access the site...i am attributing that to the fact that i have the cookie store don my firefox browser (when i try to login with my safari browser with the same password it does not work anymore)

I've been receiving the above message repeatedly after:
1 - "Clearing ALL browser data" numerous times
2 - I have "allow local data to be set (recommended)". numerous times
Sometimes it's not even accepting my UN & PW for my gmail rather just going back to a blank screen ready to re-enter a UN & PW.

Is there a way to making certain settings in the guest account permanent? For example, I would like the setting where you tap the trackpad to click (tap to click) to be permanently enabled... How do I do this?

1.33 Ghz) has started acting up, and while I think I know what the problem is, I'd like some confirmation.The symptoms:
After starting the PB up, it runs for about 5 minutes before we get a permanent spinning beach ball. When the beach ball is up, I hear what sounds like (and is coming from) the hard drive. It sounds like it's spinning either way to fast, or as if something is wrong with it. All the open programs freeze, and we do a forced shut down.Also, the first time this happened, we had a song playing in iTunes. The song would play a 2 second clip, then stop, then start, and continue to stutter.
We've tried turning the computer off, unplugging the battery and the power, but it still does this.I think it's a hard drive problem, and that we need a new hard drive. Does this sound correct?

I have downloaded Firefox to use occasionaly, only now if someone sends me a link via email OSX.6.1 opens up Firefox as the default browser.
I've been searching through the preferences I can, but can't see where to make Safari default browser.
Does anyone know how this done?

When I delete "Cookies.plist" from User/Library/Cookies and replace it with a copy I made earlier, there are still cookies from recent websites I have visited (even if I quit Safari, empty trash and reboot). I would like to keep a few important cookes (bank brokerage acct, etc) in 'clean' cookie files that I use to replace the ones that get all junked up as I surf around the web. This would be much easier than going through the cookies one at a time and deleting the vast majority of them I don't want. I can't just use the 'delete all' option for the reason stated above. Drives me nuts that everybody wants to track where I've been.
(don't know why the tag below says I'm running 10.6.5 - I am actually running 10.6.8)

Been having a terrible time since I decided to delete all my cookies. When I tried to log back into all my online accounts I found that despite choosing "remember me" or other similar choice, if I logged out of my computer or even if I quit Safari (or Safari quit on me which it does a lot these days) I had to log back in to the online account, as if the identity cookie did not take. Tonight I stumbled onto my Console Log which I found has line after line of the following: 2012-03-05 22:28:34.275 Safari[12743] Could not open cookie file "/Users/ryan/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist" for reading. I clicked on the cookie plist, had to input my log in password and the document that came up showed it had recorded nothing since 2/28 which was the day I deleted the cookies. Why would the cookie file suddenly not open?

Is there any way to bring up multiple instances of Safari, each one with a completely independent cookie database? I have several Gmail accounts, and I want to simultaneously log in to all of them in different browser windows. However, since Safari manages a central cookie database, I can't log into one of these Gmail accounts without signing out from another. With separate Safari instances that maintain separate cookie databases, I could simultaneously keep multiple Gmail windows open.

What's the consensus on the MBP and charging?
Should I let it run down before plugging it in or plug it in whenever I can? Does it make any sort of difference to the life of the new internal battery?

I've been trying to find a solution to this for ages, with no success. I'm not even sure it's possible, but I thought I'd continue to try. What I want to do is change the language setting in Pages permanently. I've had answers telling me about the language setting, and International Input menus and so on, but I'm familiar with changing the language setting, as I write a lot of documents in French and in German, but I write more in English, so what I want is to be able to permanently change the setting so that every time I open a new document, the language is set to British English.

I rent out a cabin and I would like the guest account that renters use to have a permanent background. Is this possible? What I am trying to do is allow renters to upload their photos to a shared folder (already set up). This shared folder would be a compendium of photos that renters have uploaded, and the background would change every 5 seconds to show off all the great pictures. Possible?
The next avenue I will explore is instead of using a guest account just creating a normal account for renters, but for obvious reasons I am wary of doing this

I noticed that in Lion my /etc/hosts and /private/hosts gets overwritten at boot time. This is rather annoying as I would use said file to store the IP to name translations of some local computers. Before editing I would always become root and use nano to edit the file.how do I make the changes to the hosts file permanent?

My primary workstation is now a New MacPro (late 12013) so the internal drive is too small to store my iTunes Library. I have backed up the main iTunes library from my laptop to an external drive. But I will now be working mostly at the NMP -which is ethernet wired (as I often upload/dowwnload extremely large files)
I would like to designate the external drive as the main repository for the iTunes Library for the NMP. I see that many of my albums already reside in the iTunes Library on the internal drive for the NMP. I would like to free up that storage space and have NO permanent content on that internal drive.
I think that using the REMOTE APP is intended for WIRELESS usage. So, ideally (while working) I would prefer to access iTunes app from the NMP (which is also wired to a sound system) and choose CONTENT from the external drive. So how do I clear the internal drive of all iTunes content and use the external drive exclusively?

I was just rummaging through my cupboard looking for me certificates when I found it. And it fit's pretty alright. It will have to do for now. It a case for my Razer mousepad, the Destructor. It's hard on the surface and it'd do a nice job of protecting it over minor bumps but nothing major. What I like about it is that it's slim. When I first bought the Destructor mousepad couple of years ago, I remembered thinking the case would be a good case for laptops. Had a 15" HP that time and it wont fit. Not to mention, it was too thick. Well, I snapped a few pics. And oh, its a 13 MBA if anyone is wondering.

I got a 2008 MacBook that has a misbehaving backlight. Just recently, the backlight refused to go on for any amount of time.Toggling the brightness from (0) to (1) bar turned it on for varyings amounts of time lower than one second.I continued to toggle the brightness in this fashion to use the computer for a time.Occasionally, the screen would remain lit for a little over a second and dim again.I changed the power settings from power saving to performance and back to power saving.Then, I opened up Chrome and the backlight remained on.It still remains on, as I am somewhat unwilling to test opening and closing the screen.I can, however, now vary screen brightness fully.tl;dr - Backlight was finicky, but is now functioning normally.I suspect the backlight is going to malfunction completely in the near future.

I can resize columns in list view and drag them to the order that I want, but that only lasts until I close the window. If I open that folder again in (list view is the default), the column widths and arrangement return to their original configuration. How to make changes in individual folder windows and make them permanent?

Since about the 3rd day after I got my macbook pro the computer has been making cracking sounds when I open it. When it first started it just simply made one clicking sound when the hinge is halfway open. Now however, When it is open it makes cracking sounds that don't stop ( open 15 cracking sounds per open). Is this a serious issue that I need to address with my local (and very mean) genius or is this issue not going to continue to get progressively worse. If this does continue to get worse will the hinge crack open? what is this worst that could happen?

The issue I've been having is that Safari 5.1.7 (on Windows 7) does not treat cookies as a "Session" cookie if the expiry has not been set. The date mysteriously gets set to Jan 01 2001 .... To reproduce the issue - these are the setups I tried this on
Setup
1) Created a mockup webpage that creates two cookies
COOKIE_WITH_EXPIRY (expiration set to July 01 2013)
COOKIE_WITHOUT_EXPIRY (no expiration set)
2) Hosted this on Apache
Behaviour on Windows 7 + Safari 5.1.7
COOKIE_WITH_EXPIRY - expiration date shown as July 01 2013
COOKIE_WITHOUT_EXPIRY - expiration date shown as Jan 01 2001
Behaviour on Mac OS X 10.7.4 + Safari 5.1.7
[code]...

A few days ago my email was hacked into which sent a spam email to all my contacts. I changed my password to that account, warned everyone in my contacts, and haven't had a problem with email since. However, I tried to do the 'delete all cookies' again and when I go to safari/preferences/privacy...there is nothing on that screen under that tab. Not even a question mark. I changed my history items to be removed every day from every week but don't think that would be the issue.

I personally am using chrome for mac nowdays in snow leopard. Why? Safari has gone into idiot mode with flash, safari adlblock no longer works (in 64bit) and it seems to take too much memory at times, which my 2GB system cant handle Firefox is so-last-generation. After using safari and chrome firefox seems miles slower at almost everything. I do however use it for its excellent addons So, which browser are you primarily using nowadays? (snow leopard or otherwise?)

i've used PC all my life but i'm switching to a Mac hopefully by the end of this year so i've been searching the internet looking at the minor differences (i.e. alt on windows is cmd on a mac) but there's one thing i was wondering about but i can't find it. in windows, when you're in the web browser and not typing anything, you can hit the backspace key and it functions as the back button. i used this keyboard shortcut a lot and i was just wondering if you can do this on a mac as well.
