Annoying Safari "problem"... a tricky one that has confounded others

OK, so a confession...I prefer the world of Windows to the Mac environment. Simply because it's....simple. The Mac life is just too tricky/complicated (take for example, how hard it is to ever find a picture in iPhoto, compared the simplicity of storing pics in a folder!). I digress. I use a Mac because I love the hardware and some of the beauty. But I have one snare in Safari that drives me nuts.
If I have used Google, searched on something, clicked on a link or two, and then go to edit my search....the search line automatically reverts to the previous search. You can imagine how annoying this is if the previous search was very different, and all I wanted to do was correct some spelling or something.
Funky, no?

Yup, I posted on this issue yesterday. No responses as yet. Googling it ( ! ) reveals a few other people experiencing the same thing. It can be a royal pain the backside, can't it? I'm here to sympathise only, I'm afraid.
Any ideas gratefully received, readers.

  • Iwant to restore my homepage in Safari to the one that has the ever-changing scenery when opened and chill out music

    Having lost my home page in Safari I had the one that when opened there was a new scene and chill out music if turned on can you help.

    Thank you Csound 1 What I found was Mystart powered by Yahoo was my search engine.  I am not sure how to reinstall as I can not find a download for Mac .
    I have been using Mystart for some time so it must be compatible . How it finished up as my search engine is a mystery to me.  If you can help further it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID.  I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod.  How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please?  I could do with a step by step guide to follow as am worried about loosing aps, music, photo's etc which are on the individual phones.
    Thanks

    On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • I wish to use the previous version not the one that has today been automatically installed. My settings were to let me know and I decide to install when I'm ready

    I wish to use the previous version not the one that has today been automatically installed. My settings were to let me know and I decide to install when I'm ready, how do I go back. This because one of the previous Plugins does not work with this version, and they have no fix for it yet!

    In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

  • Hi, i want to buy a mac book pro. I was wondering if the ms office suit that i will buy can be a normal version or a one that has to be compatible with mac?

    Hi, i want to buy a mac book pro. I was wondering if the ms office suit that i will buy can be a normal version or a one that has to be compatible with mac?

    It must be compatible with Mac OS X. You have to install the Mac OS X Microsoft Office version > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    Also, you can use the PC version, but in this case, you will have to install Windows on a virtual machine or Boot Camp, so it's better to use the OS X version. There are alternatives for Office, like Apple iWork or LibreOffice, if you want to try them before

    Thank you!

    Thanks for your response. Is there no other way to get the swf file to work properly from After Effects?
    What is the best way to go about using the MP4, F4V or FLV formats to save as a swf in Flash?
    Can you advise how I can save it to MP4, F4V or FLV from After Effects Creative Cloud? they don't seem to be visible (I also have creative cloud)

    After updating my OS, I couldn't get onto my gamecenter account.  I created a new nickname to see what would happen.  Now I can only access my new nickname, but not my old one.  However, my old account has all my scores!  I want to delete the new nickname and re-access my old (i.e., original) nickname.  Interestingly, my friends can still see my old nickname.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

    I was processing pictures and the Basic function on the right has disappeared, the one that contains Exposure, Contrast etc. I now have only the Histogram, Paint Brush etc, then it goes to Tone Curve, HSL/Color/B&W and all others down to Camera Calibration.

    i have now found where the OS permission is located but cannot find a way to change it. Here is what I have done:
    - Selected the Local Disk Folder
    - Chose  File>Get Info
    - Click on Sharing and Permissions (It shows Read Only)
    Now this is where I am stuck, the instruction in Apple Support says "Select a user or Group from the Name Column then choose the following Pop-Up menu in the Priviliges column(this is where the Read &Write option should be. I can't choose a user or group under the name column, all I have in the Name column is "Local Disk"
    Can someone help me from here to convert to Read & Write, thanks

  • Problems capturing DV video that has 32k audio

    While capturing in a project that has a basic set up for DV/PAL 48kz, I keep getting warnings after capture, that the frequency of my captured material does not match my project settings and there might be synchro problems with my audio later!
    My problem is that if I can change my sequence set up to 32k - a frequency that seemingly matches the video I am trying to capture (showing on my video monitor what I think is the 32kz info) I cannot find how to actually _set up the project for audio at 32k_ . For PAL video, the only choice I have seems to be for audio at 48kz.
    I am getting confused and my audio not in sync...
    Anybody could unconfuse and re-sync me ?
    Thanks

    From the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings > Capture Presets.
    You will see that the setting for DV PAL has a lock next to it, to indicate that it cannot be changed.
    Click on Duplicate. You can now make the changes that you need.
    Match those settings to what you shot.

  • IPad WIFI Issue similar to iPhone one that has gone unaddressed

    Users have been heavily pushing concern over WIFI disconnecting/invisibility behavior on the iPhone and that has gone without response from Apple for months. One wonders if they are dealing with the same issue on the iPad.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1648395&tstart=0
    ~ M.

    Note the word similar and not identical in the title folks...
    iMac 24", MacBook Air, Macbook all connected to a Time Capsule and flakey WIFI happens off and on with my iPhone and my wife's iPhone. You can also see that many other users have that same experience and like the iPad it manifests itself with low bars, failed to find network, failed to connect to network, invalid password messages, etc...also consistent with what people are reporting on the iPhone.
