Why is my iPad opening website links using the Google App not Safari?

Why is my iPad opening website links using the Google App not Safari? Everything was fine until two days ago when it started opening them with Google App. I tried uninstalling Google but nothing has changed. It would not bother me at all but it takes Google a lifetime to open them where as Safari used to do it in a matter of seconds. I own an iPad Air, iOS 7.1.2.

How is it opening a website with the Google App if you uninstalled it?
Are you sure its the Google App, and not simply Safari opening in a Google search?
What exactly is happening?
Basically there is no way to change the default browser for opening links. 
However, some apps like The Gmail App will open links within themselves or Chrome if it is installed and the option is enabled in the Gmail App settings.

    The google app on iphone and ipad is basically a web browser and should be rated 17+. On the other hand why is msecure and 1password pro rated 17+?

  • I have the original iPad. I have used the iBooks app extensively and have saved a number of books and PDF Docs.  I try to open iBooks and it will only stay open for a matter of seconds.The latest changes indicate I need a IOS 5.0. How do I access my iBook

    I am unable to access my iBooks library from my iPad through the iBooks App. Recent changes to the app says I require IOS 5.0 which I don't have because I have the original IOS that came with my iPad (the original released version) I have an extensive library that I cannot access. What do I do?

    Why do you think you cannot upgrade to iOS 5?  That should work fine.  iOS 6 is not possible for iPad 1.

  • Why can't I open documents stored in the Documents app on my iPad 2

    WWhy can't I open documents stored in my Documents app, originally sent to me as email attachments

    I am with you.   4 out of 5 people in the office not longer are able to open email attachments(PDFs, jpgs, Office Docs) after upgrading to iOS 5 on iPhones or iPads.  It seems to be from only from emails not from a Mac, iPhone or iPad. If you forward the message to youself from an Apple product, you will be able to open the attachment.
    If called Apple support and they were not able to help after an 50 Mins.  I'm going to re-install iOS to see if if works.

  • Why does my iPad keep on crashing on the calendar app

    Hi,
    I'm a student and the last thing that you want to forget is Homework. I like to keep organised every year with all my homework in the calendar app that apple provide so it will alert me when homework has to be in and started. However I click on march and it then crashes every time! I don't know why. It's fine on January and Febuary but when u click on march 2013 it crashes.
    Please help,
    It's an iPad 2 by the way and on the latest iOS 6.0.1.

    Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

  • "Too Many Redirects" problem when linking to the iTunes App Store... weird

    I've done a decent amount of searching on this issue and I haven't really found anything that addresses this problem... basically, whenever I (using my iPhone/Safari) try to click a link to the App store; I get:
    *Cannot Open Page*
    +Safari cannot open the page because too many redirects occurred.+
    I'm actually developing a site right now for an iPhone game; and I was using the link to Shazam as placeholder until we have our app approved. I generated the link using the iTunes App Generator - http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/itmsL inkMaker - which gave me the code I pasted at the bottom if anyone is interested.
    This did not work; but I figured the issue was on my side so I started to trouble shoot things. So the first thing I did was search "Shazam" using my iPhone's Safari browser - and the 3rd result is the App Store link:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=shazam&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&client=firefox-a
    I've used both my iPhone and the iPhone simulator (part of the SDK) to test this, and I've used different ISPs just in case there was something in between. *Same error.*
    So thinking Shazam might also have problems; I tried a few more well known app name searches. *Everything is having this problem, it seems.*
    This is my first support discussion post so sorry if it's too rambly or if I'm asking about a well known issue - but I really looked into this one and I'm wondering if it's pandemic or rare.
    Thanks!

    Hello mollusk,
    Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
    Just to let you know, this is primarily and end user to end user forum for the iPhone.
    When you're working with the SDK, you will most likely get better information and feedback via the Developer's resources:

    Good Luck with that APP.

  • How can I open websites that use adobe flash ?

    How can I open websites that use adobe flash ?

    The website should open, but the Adobe Flash will not work as there's no Flash plug-in for mobile Safari.
    After some failed attempts by Adobe to work out Flash for iPad, Apple decided to forgo it, and Steve Jobs published a famous letter on the reasons why Apple would not be supporting Flash on iPad.
    The fall, Adobe announced that they were abandoning Flash on all mobile platforms, including Android, and they have deprecated the use of Flash as a plug-in on Desktop platforms. Flash will be moving to become a platform for development of cross-platform desktop applications and HTML5 will replace it for web and mobile purposes.
    Web sites that still use Flash will slowly move away from the technology in the next few months. Most web sites that expected traffic from mobile device users have already moved away from using Flash.

  • I can see my contacts in my iPad using the contacts app, but i cannot see a single contact being synced to the iCloud contacts section when i use my computer to log into the iCloud website?

    i can see my contacts in my iPad using the contacts app, but i cannot see a single contact being synced to the iCloud contacts section when i use my computer to log into the iCloud website?

    I am signed into the iCloud and contacts are turned on in the iCloud settings on my iPad. the iCloud account is checked in the groups area of the contacts settings. the calendar is turned on the same way and that syncs to iCloud...just not contacts.

    Dear Apple friends,
    I have the exact same problem with some apps.
    Even when I try some websites in Safari and Chrome that require loading big chunks of data they crash.
    Today it crashed in two new places. In the notification center and when I opened newstand app I no longer was able to return to the main window and the dock disappeared.
    I have my ipad retina for about three months now but latelly this issue has became more frequent. What should I do?
    Should I update to the latest firmware and do what raymond73 said?
    Is there a fix for this issue?
    Has Apple said anything about this? Because I see that this issue is happening to a lot of people.
    Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6?
    Is it a firmware problem? That can be fixed in future releases? Or an hardware issue?
    Should I wait or go to the place I bought it and try to get the money back?

  • I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.

    I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.
    I guess what I have experienced might be a special case of 'Restore previous sessions'. The actual situation was that after I rebooted my laptop, Adobe update jumped out indicating an update being finished successfully. After I clicked on the 'close' button of the Adobe window, it automatically started firefox and linked to its website. But I did not find the 'Restore previous sessions' page this time. Then I restarted firefox, this time there was a start page with 'Restore previous sessions'. However, sadly enough, it is only restored my pinned pages plus the Adobe website. Actually, I am using 'bookmark all tabs' from time to time to secure opened tabs, but this time I did not expect such an incident. I would suggest to improve the 'Restore previous sessions' with multiple time tags and appear in all cases including my reported case here, after updating firefox, crashes etc. I like firefox in most occasions, therefore believe and hope it becomes better and more robust. Thank you very much!

    Hi,
    Please see the following support request: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2628065
    I think the best option would be to leave feedback here to let the relevant development team know about the problem you have had: https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/feedback
    Also you could try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager] add-on which gives more control over how sessions are restored.
    I hope that helps
