AskWoody PlusHow can an iphone accept more than one Apple ID? First grade level Apple education, please.
Unfortunately I keep getting referred back to the same literature that I can’t seem to make sense of to begin with.

AskWoody PlusTo be more specific regarding Adding another Trusted Phone number:
So using my iphone, I add another family member’s iphone number.
To confirm/validate, my iphone sends out a verification number: back to my iphone? or to the iphone number I just added?
Then I enter the verification number: into my iphone? or the iphone I just added?
Then Done?
How to use the added number: ?
I lose or don’t have my iphone – how do I make use of the added number?
Do I have to use the iphone of the added number? Or what do I use? What am I trying to obtain? A verification number? Where would I enter it if I don’t have my iphone?
Whenever I do something that requires a verification of my Apple ID, does the validation request go to both my iphone AND the family member’s iphone?
So confusing .

AskWoody PlusBut then check this one out from Apple:
https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/manage-factor-authentication-apple-iphd709a3c46/16.0/ios/16.0
Sections: Add another Device and Add a trusted phone number.
These sections are where the confusion is for me.
>Another Trusted Device – sign in on another device with the same Apple ID?
>Add a Trusted phone number – Trusted phone numbers don’t automatically receive verification codes?

AskWoody PlusI’ll butt in since I posted this concern with #2531970
Don’t know about Mint but as respect Windows 10, it arose with v109 and remains with the latest update v110.
I’m a bit surprised that no one has or is able to get an answer on this.
Totally agree, hard to image many many are not being affected by this setting bug.

AskWoody PlusRegarding the Bug in #2534691 above, could someone here with expertise on how to do it report this into the Mozilla Bug reporting site to ensure that they are aware of the problem?

AskWoody PlusDid latest FF ver 110 fix the below problem created in ver 109?
>>Firefox 109.0 broke clearing the Cache on “shutdown”.
Since updating I was noticing a ton of junk files being created when closing the browser. (The folder with the junk files in question resides in your ProgramData folder and named “Mozilla-1de4eec8-1241-4177-a864-e594e8d1fb38”.)

Well after doing some digging it seems to be 100% related to clearing Cache on shutdown.
https://i.imgur.com/1MtxKxU.png
If you had that enabled then you are probably getting those above “cache2.2023-0X-XX-XX-XX-XX5.purge” files building up…
Windows 10 Pro x64 v22H2 and Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 (RIP) -

AskWoody PlusI have ‘Remember history’ for Firefox will … And I want the history to be remembered.
With that setting, the second “Settings…” button does not appear and probably the behind the scene config settings are different since you are not purging that data upon closing. It is this purging action that appears the problem in creating those 0 byte files each time FF closes.
Thanks for checking into it. Hopefully FF will realize the issue and correct.
Windows 10 Pro x64 v22H2 and Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 (RIP) -

AskWoody PlusI have all five ‘History’ options checked in ‘Clear Recent History’
Just to be clear, there are two (2) areas within FF to clear those five “History” areas (both which includes the Cache checkbox option).
If you are referencing the “drop down” link “Clear Recent History” on the upper bar, that brings you to the “manual” way to clear those five “Histories” and is unaffected by this issue presented. This manual clearance box is actually titled “Clear All History” and can also be accessed via the Settings>Privacy & Security>History area, behind the “Clear History…” button.The other “History” clearance box (looks exactly the same) but has the title “Settings for Clearing History” is found behind the “Settings…” button next one down. This one is activated when a checkmark is entered into “Clear history when Firefox closes”. This then automatically clears FF upon closing. It is when THIS area is checked AND the Cache is checked in THIS box that the problem arises.
Can you recheck and confirm that you have BOTH these areas active? And that there is still no problem with those files accumulating in Program Data?

AskWoody PlusCopied the problem below from a post at Ghacks.net
I noticed the same activity since updating to current FF version.
Anyone here found a solution to this problem? Can the zero (0) size files be manually deleted periodically without causing a problem?

Can you pls advise how to do an HP reinstall? Do I need to use the Control Panel to uninstall everything HP related and then start as a brand new installation?
The more details, the better as I have had little luck with HP installs as I just want a simple USB connection and HP wants to push Wireless and all other gizmos.

Please see my post 2511977
Are we OK if we only have one (1) hidparse.sys file where it was originally intended in the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder?

AskWoody PlusDecember 27, 2022 at 8:59 am in reply to: Several Windows 10 versions affected by blue screen issue #2511977Lots of discussion about IF you have duplicate hidparse.sys files.
Running 22H2 updated thru November, I have only one (1) hidparse.sys file in c:\windows\system32\drivers.
Have we safely ruled out any problem with this configuration? Or does MS want me to have (matching) duplicate files in two (2) locations?

AskWoody PlusNovember 13, 2022 at 8:08 am in reply to: iPhone ios 16 update – can you keep your ios 15 lock screen picture? #2497701So in summary, after updating to the latest version of ios 16, after the restart, the lock screen came back exactly as it was in ios 15.7 before the ios 16 update.
One has to purposefully select a new lock screen set up under ios 16 to make a change from the existing one that came over from ios 15.7.
If one makes a new lock screen under ios 16, and since one can have multiple lock screens under ios 16, does it retain the lock screen from ios 15.7 as an option to re-select?
