As I was loading a downloading a word processing application Firefox got "supplanted by "BING" as my homepage, so I need help to return Firefox as my homepage instead of "BING"!

As I was downloading a word processing application I made sure I Unchecked ANY boxes that asked me to change my homepage or my default web browser to something "other than what it already was". But when all was said and done I suddenly have "BING" as my homepage AND default web browser, even after going through my program files and "uninstalling" any programs that have anything to do with "BING or START NOW" which are the ONLY identifying markers on the new page! I have restarted my computer several times and the "new evil page" will not change back to Firefox!

The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

Word processing application on new Macbook Pro?

Most PC's come with some sort of word processing application, like Word, already installed, does a Macbook Pro have one, is so, I can't find it. If not, why not, it has everything else.

It doesn't come pre-installed usually. Check out the iWork suite which has Pages (documents) Numbers (spreadsheets) and Keynote (presentations) software in it - see here for more: http://www.apple.com/iwork/
30-day free trial - http://www.apple.com/iwork/download-trial/
PC's don't come with Microsoft Office installed you have to buy it.
Here's some free options if you don't want to buy iWork

None of my word processing applications will open.

My word processing applications will not open, this includes anything from Microsoft Office (powerpoint, excel, word, etc) and Appleworks.
Anytime I try to open these applications I get a message that says "the application quit unexpectedly" and gives me the options of report, ignore, or reopen. When I try to reopen it just gives me the same message.
I have restarted multiple times and have attempted (and failed) a hardware test. I have not attempted to uninstall or reinstall anything because I am scared to mess it up further, I'm not really technologically inclined.
I am running
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Microsoft Office X
Appleworks 6 (I know no one cares about Appleworks but I like it)

You will need to fully uninstall Office, then reinstall it from scratch and from the original distribution media. You will need an AppleWorks installer to reinstall it. I would consider getting a backup drive so you can backup your computer before going further.

My iTunes is no longer working. I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program won't open and run. I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening and I think something has been deleted that I need to open the iTunes. How do i figure out what is gone

I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program still won't open. I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening. Instead the site tried to install a new audio player. I did not want it so uninstalled it immediately. I think in that process something was deleted that I need for iTunes but I do not know what. How do i figure out what is gone and recover it?
I did try a system restore - but that was not a fix either.

Ackk ... that behavior is consistent with the play_mp3.exe trojan:

Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

What is the word processing application on Snow leopard?

I recently had my old Mac quit and had to replace it with a newer G5 (snow leopard OS 10.6.2) with a 20 inch screen. I was used to using appleworks for my word processing program on my old Mac, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what application to use on my new Mac to replace it! If I hadn't had the Windows for Mac disk to install, I wouldn't know what to use on the new one. I may sound pretty dumb, but this has me stumped.

So, your computer is a G5 now, or have you upgraded to an Intel-based Mac?
Your signature line in your post is confusing - since Snow Leopard 10.6 won't
run on PowerPC-based Mac hardware. And this is the Leopard 10.5 forum area.
Neo Office is a good choice; be sure to check later to find any separate update
download files, if they exist for the version build available.
• TextWrangler can do more than basic TextEdit, including some features found
on the software writer's higher-end product. See the BareBones Software site:
http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler/ - TextWrangler runs free.
There are several other options that work well & cost little to nothing.
You may be able to use Google's Documents in some cases.
{If you have the original install disc for AppleWorks, or the software discs that
came with a different Mac which included AppleWorks (restore-install disc) it
is possible to use the demo (limited use) aspect of Pacifist to extract the AW
application from the factory install disc that won't run on a newer Mac, & have
Pacifist install the extracted files from the desktop of your current Mac...}
• Pacifist: http://www.charlessoft.com/
If the old *AW 6.2* software is not in use at the time in another Mac, & you own
the disc it resides on, you could probably do that and it should work OK. I've
tried it and you have options in that install, including other language versions.
Good luck & happy computing!

Word processing application?

After being burned too many times by Microsoft and Lenovo Thinkpad, I bought myself a Macbook PRO. I can't believe how easy Apple makes it. This notebook is incredible. Far more durable than any notebook that I've ever used too.
THANKS APPLE!
I decided to eliminate Microsoft from my life completely. I will not touch any of their products or softwares EVER AGAIN!
I got iWork, but I am curious to know if there is another option for word processing etc. Is there?

While I use iWork ’09 a lot, I have found Lotus Symphony to be great too. I have noted a link for it for you to check out.
http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.nsf/home
You could also try the additional options that I have noted.

You should reset your iPhone,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

HT4528 I am trying to sync iTunes and download ringtones from Apple store. I am not able to on my iPhone. need help with these two issues

I am having issues with several areas on my iPhone:
1. When I am trying to update my iTunes on my phone from my laptop I have trouble syncing to my iPhone. How do I get my songs from iTunes transfered to my iPhone?
2. I am not able to purchase/download ring tones to my iPhone. Am I able to purchase ringtones?
3. My daughter has an iPhone also, and it appears that we have to share contacts? My phone was populated with her contacts and vice versa. How do I seperate the contacts?

If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, download iTunes 10.6.3. This requires Mac OS X 10.5.8.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater, and then install iTunes 11.

HT1766 I was attempting to backup my iphone 5 getting ready to update it to ios 7 and i accodentally restored it to the settings of my last phone which was an iphone 4s and it erased all my new pictures and info off my new phone and need help getting them

I was attempting to backup my iphone 5 getting ready to update it to ios 7 and i accidentally restored it to the settings of my last phone which was an iphone 4s and it erased all my new pictures and info off my new phone and was wondering if anyone knows how i can get them back and restore it back like i has it? Thanks

That means you have not a backup before accidentally restore your new iPhone 5.
So you should recover your new pictures and info with a third recovery tool.
This blog has a useful tool to meet you.
http://easy-iphone-recovery.blogspot.com/2013/09/iphone-recovery-resource.html
In step 1, you should choose 'Recover from iOS Device' in the main interface and then following the steps to get your pictures and info back.
Good Luck.

Default Word Processing Application Keeps Changing!

Mysteriously, every few days my default document reading/editing application changes from Microsoft Word to Text Edit. Each time this happens, I choose a document in Finder, Cmd+I it and change it (and apply to all) back MS Word. Any idea why this keeps happening? Frustrating!
Thank you in advance!

Angry birds rio quit working on my ipad. When I try to start the game, it shuts down completely and goes to the main menu screen. This started when I downloaded the latest app. The other angry bird games still work. I really need help.

Angry birds rio quit working when I installed the latest app. I even uninstalled it and started over. When I try to start the game, it goes back to the main menu. I need help badly but in simplest of terms so I'll be able to follow.

Have you tried closing the app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Angry Birds 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Angry Birds app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
