Every time I ask for a website google comes up. Why can't I go straight to the site like I could before?

Before FF4 I just typed in a website name (like imdb) and went instantly to that site. Now I get a google search page--totally unnecessary. Google is unavoidable for information at times, but I use it only when I have to. I resent being forced to use it when all I want is (e.g.) my bank account. There used to be a "none" in the browser bar, but it seems to be gone now. I know you've got this whole keyword thing now and I can set it up so google is in the background, but before I went straight to any website without setting up anything and it was much easier, and no google. If this google alliance is the new FF, I want none of it--I'll go elsewhere.

Check the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page.
You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

If I am trying apply for a job on my iPad, how can I upload a resume onto the site?

I need to upload a resume form my iPad to the website, but every time I hit the choose file button provided on the site, what pops up is, Take picture or video, or Choose Selected. Why won’t this operation work on my iPad.
P.S: I don’t know why it says iPod Touch below. This is an iPad question.

It won't work on your iPad because Safari doesn't allow it. You need to use another browser that lest you upload files. I use iCab Mobile. It has many more features that Safari and it will let you upload files.

IF you download iCab, you will have to make this work by going into the iCab Settings> Network>Uploads Via>iCab Mobile

ISync seems to run every 10 or 15 minutes, and every time it asks for my keychain password. Can I either change the rate or prevent it from requesting the password?

Help!

Your keychain is probably locked.
Open up your Applications folder and then go into Utilities. Open up Keychain Access. Click on Keychain Access at the top beside the Apple then click Preferences. From there go into the First Aid tab. Make sure "Keep my keychain unlocked" is checked. You may have to unlock the keychain one last time by clicking the lock at the top left of Keychain Access.
That should take care of it. If not, you may have a deeper issue.
let me know what happens and I can advise where to go from there.

Britt.

After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

Subject/Question: "WARNING: SUSPECTED PHISHING SITE" message has just recently come up for me EVERY time I go to a website on Safari. What do I do?

This has been happening for me just recently, 12/2012... EVERY TIME I CLICK ON A WEBSITE, I get: WARNING: SUSPECTED PHISHING SITE.
At first, I thought it was valid, but when I saw that it was doing it before EVERY page, I knew that something was wrong. I read through your comments from the past, but saw no indications of what was causing the problem then or how to fix it.
I have a macbook 10.5.8, & I use Safari. Never had this problem before.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
I may have changed a few things in System Preferences... and...
I have copied & pasted the email addresses from my spam to block in Yahoo mail to see if that makes any difference in the number of spam emails that I get. Probably not, as they are constantly changing email addresses, but thought I would try.
That is all that I know that I have done.
And now this is constant & annoying & I don't know what websites that I can trust.
Please help.
I haven't use this site much. Will I get an email to let me know if anyone responds? Or do I have to try to come back here to check for replies?
Thanks again!

Have you tried the Reset Safari... in the pull down menu under Safari?

Plug your phone into your computer running iTunes. Click on the phone in the left pane of iTunes. Click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
If you have a 3G, the highest you can go is 4.2.1.

How can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?

how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
This is really driving me nuts.....
Thanks

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General.
Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
2. Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.” You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
I hope this helps.

Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location, and to turn on my location settings and siri settings. These are both on and after rebooting it still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

I have purchased apps in the past and now every time I download a new app my IPad notifies me that they cannot be purchased at the time. For example, tap tap revenge and 11 others cannot be purchased at the time. How can I get rid of it?

The application iExplorer may be useful in your situation. Read these links below
I found this in another long discussion (on the ASC site) about this very same problem that you are having.
