• Question on the Windows Media Player privacy setting

  I've been using Windows media player for almost a decade, like many other people, but I never really paid attention to all those defining what affects privacy in WMP.  Now, I have a few questions about these privacy setting.

  I read in the windows Help article, if I check on "update my music files by retrieving the news media of the internet " in the Privacy tab on the Options in Windows Media Player dialog box, it is said that ' indicates if the player will automatically obtain and update missing media information for music files in your library. If the information is available. If this check box is selected, the Player tries to update any missing media information in the files by sending data about them to a database of Windows Media. "

  Here is a link to the page that explains more about the configuration of the protection of personal information in WMP11.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/Windows-Media-Player/11/privacy-statement?locale=409&geoid=F4&version=11.0.5721.5280&UserLocale=409#section_6

  My question is that if I turn the setting (which was on), this means that my music in my library files are sent on a windows media database?  or just a piece of information about the file are sent to them?

  Let's say I have a family video that I created with my own camera in AVI file format and it ' in my library.  If the setting I mentioned above is enabled, the video files are also sent to the database of windows media, or somewhere?   There is nothing to hide, but I really don't want my own private music which will be sent to anywhere else on my computer that's why I really want to know what kind of data or information about the file are sent to the windows media database to retrieve information from the media.

  also what about the customer experience improvement program in the drive configuration? ("I want to help makeMicrosoft software and services even better by sending Player to check data use versMicrosoft" on the Privacy tab on the dialog option in the player)  I did not know until now, but the setting has been activated on my player... If it's on, my personal files in my library are sent to Microsoft? According to the article, I've read it doesn't seem like it, but I don't know and want to make sure.

  I'm sorry for the long long entry... but if anyone can help me with the answer, I would really really appreciate it!

  Thank you very much

  As for the 1st setting, audio/video files certainly is not sent to Microsoft (which would require anyway a lot too much bandwidth). WMP only sends the metadata, such as title, artist, length etc.

  On the 2nd parameter, the privacy statement for the Customer Experience Improvement Program is at http://www.microsoft.com/products/ceip/EN-US/privacypolicy.mspx . After that, no personal file will be sent (I don't see how those that might be useful to Microsoft). If you are still not sure, you can always disable this setting without side effects.

• cannot clear location bar removal does work that temporarily changes in privacy setting have no effect either

  I tried to delete by deleting address bar but elements reappear when I hit the arrow down once again. Change the location of the privacy bar setting nothing affects not the bottom of the fall, they are still there, history of compensation does not remove them either. Using Firefox 3.6.13

  You can configure the address bar to show only the history, but f you have visited a website marked with a bookmark, then you can always see in the drop-down list unless you erase the history of these web pages.

• Game Center has access to my contacts, if the privacy setting says "no"?

  Hello!

  It bothers me that the privacy of the system preferences Control Panel does not show the game centers (attempt to) 'access' to my contacts and does not request not also allow me after setting a mark in Game Center circles (recommendations of a friend).

  Game Center has access to my contacts without my knowledge?

  History: I checked the Privacy panel, and there was no Game Center. I wanted to block the process 'gargowitsch' internet connections because I do not use game Center. I opened the game Center, and I recognized that I was connected and recommendations @settings & friends have Facebook and my Contacts. The privacy of the system table said nothing that access...

  I disabled the recommendation of a friend in game Center. I activated it again to see if there is an attempt to access on my system contacts. No notification system. "gargowitsch" wants to connect to facebook.com. I closed the center of game settings and their reopening. Set both marks have disappeared since the recommendation of a friend.

  "garguillo" communicates to facebook.com, but GameCenter app does not contact the privacy preference settings system?

  I just want to know if I can trust the confidentiality = Panel)

  I use El Capitan ATM installed updates. I'm not using contacts via iCloud, but using the contacts application.

  Thanks for the help and answers =)

  Problem solved on my own:

  Game Center has access to my contacts without my knowledge?

  No, it has not. She has if iCloud Contacts are enabled in system preferences/account settings.

  "garguillo" communicates to facebook.com, but GameCenter app does not contact the privacy preference settings system?

  I had the problem that I did not get any message of OS X and have not signed in a facebook account. If connected to a facebook account in settings, game center would use the phone numbers and mail from my facebook account to find matches.

  I just want to know if I can trust the confidentiality = Panel)

  Trust him. GC gets only the coordinates of their Facebook contacts.

• All my passwords are gone after the 32,0 even if privacy set to "remember history".

  I used Firefox because it was introduced and he have to remember my password for as long as it was possible. Suddenly, last week, after the upgrade 32.0, all my passwords disappeared completely. I have the privacy settings on ' Firefox will be remember history. Why they disappeared, and how can I get back them? Is there anything harmful, I would be worried (could they were stolen)?

  I am Windows 8.0 on a computer running 64-bit with 4 GB of RAM/1 TB HDD. Today, I upgraded to 32.0.1, but passwords are still missing. I have active Sync.

  In an odd twist, I've updated to 32.0.1, restarted FireFox and still no password.

  HOWEVER, after I restarted the computer, and then open Firefox, NOW my passwords appear (although, curiously, my open tabs were all closed).

• Security and privacy setting problem

  I have a MacBook Pro, school issued, and I have an administrator account. It is El Capitan version 10.11.4 running

  For a few weeks and I don't know exactly when it started, it was disconnect automatically. In addition, when it disconnects me my password is not always recognized as correct, so I have to reboot to reconnect. I finally found the setting of security and confidentiality that is checked for disconnection after 30 minutes of inactivity and unchecked, it.  However changes to the settings I do not stay, I uncheck the box or change the amount of time before disconnection, he returns in this journal of 30 minutes setting. As a teacher in a busy class I find that more and more frustrating. I can't afford this waste of time if I need to show something to the class on the Board of directors or to find a resource. Can anyone help?

  I guess you just change your connection password, but desynchronization between account password and login Keychain password. You need access to Keychain Access-> Preferences, select 'Synchronize password Keychain with account'. Preferences and access to quick access-> S.o.s. Keychain keychain and repair.

• Norton privacy setting not saved

  My Firefox 8.0 privacy settings do not work. I use Norton Internet Security V19.2.0.10 2012. I tried to remove pref.js without success, I also put Norton to allow Firefox in the control of the program. Always without success.

  Hi Mate,

  The last I heard, Norton is not compatible with the new version of Firefox. I am also a user of Norton and disappointed by this, but this isn't something with that Firefox can help us. Go on the site of Norton and ask them to make the program compatible with the new version of Firefox. I will do this, but I suggest that others do, too so they can take this seriously.

• my privacy setting is stuck on do not forget history, won't stay on using the custom settings for history, after I've selected and click ok

  When I go to tools, Options, privacy and "Use the custom settings for history" of the value and then click on OK it won't save. It remains on "Remember history", even if she never will save "remember history" as I tested it. It seems if be produced after these recent last Firefox update. Anyone know why I can not choose "Use the custom settings for history", as is the parameter I want to use?

  Why aren't satisfied with the history settings by default that you currently have?

  Any changes (for example, to disable the cookies third party or form not given memory or keep cookies until you close Firefox and make an exception for the cookies you want to keep) that you will cause "use... custom parameters. "to be selected if you really want to see.

• SYNC stores and synchronizes the passwords, but fails to connect to the startup of Firefox. Article help did not set.

  I have two laptops with Ubuntu LTS 14.4 and one with Win7. With Firefox, Adblock, Noscript and HTTPS everywhere. All three laptops are doing the same thing. Have the privacy set to clear the history of passwords under unchecked data. Sync works between devices, passwords are stored. Get the cannot connect SYNCHRONIZATION, incorrect password or username at the start of Firefox. Firefox and operating systems are up to date.

  Sync stores a password registered for account.firefox.com?
  Check your Manager password on one of the aircraft that has the wrong name and password.

  If you disable the cookies and history when closing, sync will be connected to my experience.

• Cookies.SQLite set ReadOnly, it disappeared when I went to undo read-only

  See the solution at the end of this post

  You do not now know what I tried to accomplish with this approach, in Ubuntu 12.04 and Firefox 23 than my current browser version. Whether, there no desired effect, Firefox will not save the session cookies.

  I have these files in my profile from 'cookies' in the name:

  cookies.SQLite.bak
  cookies.SQLite.bak - reconstruction
  cookies.SQLite - shm
  Cookies-sqlite-wal

  I was going to ask this question, and glancing in the profile to see what I have here, I closed Firefox and renamed cookies.sqlite.bak cookies.sqlite. Open Firefox and I see the lack of cookies.sqlite and again, there is a cookies.sqlite.bak.

  This time, when the browser is opened on this issue pending, I copied cookies.sqlite.bak to cookies.sqlite.bak (copy) and renamed that cookies.sqlite. It has the permissions to read / write and it remains to be seen what happens when I close the browser and reopen it.

  My privacy setting is set to accept all cookies, including third parties and to reject cookies when I close Firefox.

  CookieMonster is used to replace Firefox default for sites where I want to accept cookies so that I can keep the site preferences or to stay connected. CookieMonster is not obeyed, the cookies are ignored.

  Solution

  ==

  Based on the response in the third post in the thread, since the two top lines of post of Cor - el, I cleared my problem with just deleting all files with 'cookies.sqlite' at the beginning of their names, close and restart Firefox. Firefox restored all the names, and the new cookies.sqlite has the permissions to read / write without my definition.

  Tab of confidentiality under Edit > Preferences:
  Firefox is configured to use the custom settings for the story, and I accept all cookies, including third-party and keep them until I close Firefox.

  I use the add-on CookieMonster to override this default setting on some sites, so I can keep their cookies from one session to another, which saves some site preferences and allows me to stay connected to my web site.

  Back on the Privacy tab, clear history when Firefox closes, but in the settings, I don't understand cookies. (I included cache and the Web site offline data).

  To include cookies here would cause Firefox clear all cookies at the end of the session, including those who save my site preferences and keep me connected via the settings in CookieMonster.

  Have you tried to delete all the files cookies.sqlite and allow Firefox to create a new file?

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "create a profile":

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• iPhone keeps asking for privacy permissions ios 9

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my new iPhone 6s, that I was not able to solve. My iPhone keeps asking privacy permissions to access my photos, my sites, my cameras, etc. even if I have already authorized this specific application. I tried to reset the location & privacy setting generally as suggested in many forum of discussion, but it couldn't fix the problem. Can you help me please?

  Fabrizio

  -What are you talking about?

  Some applications will be asked to use your site as long as the application is running. An application is considered as "in use" when using it actively in the foreground, or when used in the background, which will show the status bar.

  Other applications will be asked to access your location, even when the application isn't running. When you authorize an application should always use your location, iOS will remind you that the apps are able to use your location when an application uses your location in the background.

• Sidebar of history began to show today. I can't remove it

  Today, every time I raise Firefox as my home page, the sidebar of history appears. I can uncheck, but next time I load the home page as it appears. My privacy setting is to never remember history. How can I avoid having to use the 'x' or uncheck the box to close? As I said, this just started this afternoon.

  If you use Firefox in private browsing mode automatic, it is possible that Firefox is not to remember the change of the closing of the sidebar.

  Since the sidebar to open is not the behavior by default, maybe you could eliminate the problem by removing a settings file that stores the positions of windows and other user interface data. If you want to try, here's how:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. The sidebar is closed?

• Firefox does not save form history

  Recently, I've erased recent history, including the form and historical research. I've now disabled this box and I am using a week evey of particular form, but he continues to not remember the details I entered several times since I erased from history. In the privacy option, it is located in "remember history". If I change to "use the custom settings for history", it shows that "remember form history" is checked.

  This seems to be an error or do I have to keep the privacy setting "use custom settings for history"? I use Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop from 64-bit.

  Thank you.

  Firefox doesn't have this form to complete related pref which is controlled by the setting in Options > privacy

  • Browser.formfill.Enable

  If you have more (other) prefs, then they must have been added by an extension.

• No options display remote content message after update to Thunderbird version 31.0

  Version of Thunderbird 31.0 updated via his usual auto update and now I can't see the remote content of new messages.

  Through online searches I found references to the fact that the button "Display remote content" is now replaced by a new notification with a Preferences button bar to display remote content.

  I have no problem with this change with the exception that I don't get this new bar notification and button, or the old, so I'm not able to get a message to load his remote content unless I have enable the privacy setting General to allow remote content that is far from what I want.

  I also checked the setting of permissions.default.image through the configuration editor and it is set to 1.

  I also found some search hits suggesting restart Thunderbird if this new notification bar is missing. I have restarted TB several times and even to download the Installer file for the version 31.0 and re-installed in this way and have also to restart my machine option remote message several times, but still not content.

  Help, please.

  If you have restarted with disabled modules? Help menu > restart with disabled modules.

  V31 has significant changes in the UI and it could well cause problems in modules and themes that stable for years.

• defaults to custom settings /history

  privacy setting to never remember history comes back to use the custom settings for history after reboot

  Firefox displays "Use the custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one story and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that the changes have been made.
  If all the history settings are default, custom settings are hidden and see you "conservation rules: (never) don't forget history."
  "Never remember history" means that private browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" Gets a check mark.
  "Use the custom settings for history" is selected if at least one of the Cookie settings or history isn't the default to make you aware that the default setting changes have been made.
