  • Each time I open Safari it opens the last web page I was at rather than my home page. How do I stop this from happening?

    Each time I open Safari it opens the last web page I was at rather than my home page. How do I stop this from happening?

    This is part of Lion's Resume feature (I assume you are on Lion).
    A couple of things you can do: System Preferences>General and deselect 'Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps'.
    Also when you shutdown or restart make sure the following is unticked:

  • Safari 4.0 is slower to show only the first web site

    Safari 4.0 is slower to show only the first web site. Once Safari is open, the first site may take 4 to 5 seconds to show, and Console indicates:
    11/06/09 17:15:09 [0x0-0x99099].com.apple.Safari[1029] Debugger() was called!
    Subsequent sites load in just one second or so (and Console does not show any messsage).
    If I quit Safari and open it again, the same issue arises: it takes longer to show the very first site (whatever it is) but not the subsequent ones (for which it is quicker), and Console shows a similar string on such very first site (but not the subsequent ones). Other examples of such string:
    11/06/09 17:15:58 [0x0-0x9b09b].com.apple.Safari[1033] Debugger() was called!
    11/06/09 17:15:58 [0x0-0x9b09b].com.apple.Safari[1033] Debugger() was called!
    11/06/09 17:17:06 [0x0-0x9c09c].com.apple.Safari[1036] Debugger() was called!
    How to prevent such Console message and make Safari also quick to show the very first page or site after opening Safari?
    Thanks.

    Not to get your hopes up, did you ever hear or figure out any resolution to this. I have a (slightly) similar issue passed along from one of my bosses, that when he upgraded to 4.0.2 it started causing issues with FTP logins through Safari. He would have to enter passwords multiple times on the same site. So initial entry worked and then every subsequent event needed a password entry. Just curious if this could be part of your problem. I tried to emulate the problem on my machines and only on the one I have the 4.0.2 update does it happen.

  • When I open iWeb it does not "Highlight" the New site or new page options. It ahs had this issue for over a year! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it. What do I do? It opens the tutorial video, then when you close it, nothing else is clickable.

    Open iPhoto, select a couple of photos and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option.  That has jump started iWeb for others.  I could take a couple of tries.
    If that doesn't work try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iiWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.

  • Why does this popup on shutting down my Mac--Continue the installation-.choose abort if you wish to cancel installation

    I am getting this popup when I am shutting my iMac desktop. OSX Mountain Lion. I use Safari. "Continue the installation….choose abort if you wish to cancel installation….then is says "abort and yes"
    I have tried removing InstallMac and anything Geneio from the hard
    drive. Any other suggestions?

    Genieo Adware is installed.  Removing it will help.
    If you have another browser installed, use it.
    If not, launch App store and get another  browser for temporary use.
    Remove it afterwards.
    1. Use  free  AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
        http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
        Install , open,  and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
        Once done, quit AdwareMedic by clicking AdwareMedic in the menu bar and selecting
        “Quit AdwareMedic”.
                   or
        Remove the adware  manually  by following the “HowTo” from Apple.

    2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
         Turn those off and relaunch Safari to test .
         Turn those on one by one and test.

  • Why won't Firefox open a specific web site when Safari will

    I am unable to open a specific website on Firefox yet I can open it with Safari on the same computer. I have a Mac Air and am using Firefox 26.0 with OSX 10.9.1

    Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page that doesn't require authentication (signing on)?
    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Why does my macbook pro retina take 30 seconds for me to use it when i open the lid?

    For some reason it takes my macbook like 30 seconds for me to use it when i open the lid.  I cant move the mouse or anything until like 30 seconds go by is that normal or something wrong?  Its the new macbook retina display and never had this problem when i first got it.

    Are you running any applications when you open the lid, specifically any applications that are heavy on GPU usage such as iMovie or Photoshop?

  • When I launch Safari 5.1, it goes to the last web page I had open and not to my home page.  How do I fix this?

    I have verified my home page setting.  Prior versions of Safari would launch the Top Sites page at start-up, but now it doesn't even do that. 

    Open Safari Preferences, General tab.  Make your selection for "New windows open with" and "New tabs open with".  You can choose from a drop-down list which includes Top Sites, Home Page, Last page, etc.

  • Why can't I find treesnap or download it from the apps web site

    The apps website says the app is still available but I can't find it or download it

    I don't find a treesnap app in a web search. I find an iOS app called Leafsnap that iTunes states is no longer available. Perhaps the developer's website is not up-to-date.

  • Why do applications always open the last document or page viewed?

    I love my Mac.  But since I got my new iMac and OS Lion, I've had a hard time with one option and I can't figure out how to turn it off.
    When I open Excel, it opens the last document viewed.  Even when I click on a new document, it still opens the last document.  When I open Safari, it takes me to the last page viewed.  Its very annoying, probably useful to someone other then me. How do I turn this feature off?
    Thanks
    Jim

    That is part of Resume, a feature that re-opens the documents that were open when you quit.
    You can turn it off system-wide in the General System Preferences.
    On a per-app basis, you can only use the cmd-option-q shortcut or menu to close all windows and quit.

  • Why can't I access the APP web site with my iPad3??

    I just purchased an iPad3 and really like it.  I tapped the APP icon to load a few APPs but it would not open.  I get the grey-white page with an hour glass spinning.  After a few minutes the page closes and kicks me back to the iPad desk top.  I tried this several times with the same result.  I tried to open the APP web site by going through the Safari browsers but ended up getting the same results.  Anyone know why the APP page will not open???

    I'm talking about wanting an APP so you go to the APP web site and browse for your APP.  When you find one you like you down load it.  There is an APP icon that is already loaded on computers, lap tops, iPhones, and iPads.
