Firefox is sending me to a different website than the one I'm trying to go to, I keep resetting Firefox but its becoming fustrating. How do I get it to stop?

Look this is going to sound pathetic, but i keep trying to get onto tumblr.com but no matter what i do it keeps sending me to Facebook.com. I've tried to go through google, yahoo, and bing but its still keeps sending me to facebook. none of my friends have ever had problems with firefox and untill the last two weeks neither have I. Resetting hasn't helped for very long and it's starting to make it so i have to reset every day.
sorry if this is an inconvenience,
Flaremage

Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

Can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

This should work; one of my e-mail accounts is my own domain through Gmail. Make sure your username is set to your full e-mail address (like [email protected]) rather than just your username.
Did you set it up on your iPhone as an IMAP account, or as a Gmail account? It should work perfectly using the Gmail setting. It can work as IMAP, but you need to jump through a few hoops to get there.

My iPhone has suddenly started sending emails in Courier New (rather than the standard Arial). They appear in Arial when I compose them, but turn to Courier new in the sent folder and when displayed to the recipient. I use Yahoo Mobile Mail. Help!

I'm not sure if it's a Yahoo Mobile mail or an iphone issue... have asked the Yahoo forum but no replies yet... Any help appreciated!

HT2492 Clicking on different widget than the one previously used, brings me back to Desktop?

Hello,
I have a problem where if I click on a widget other than the one I previously used, I am taken back to my Desktop. I then have to open dashboard again, to get to the widget i want. I can now use the widget i initially wanted, but clicking on a different widget starts the cycle again. This is really annoying me. How can i fix this?
By the way, I am running 10.7.3 and I am up to date on all Mac updates.
Thank-you,
krm1897

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

Webcrawler issue: Downloads different file than the one visible in browser

Hi Everyone,
I am using a webcrawler to download webpages from a site. But it seems to be downloading different HTML files from the ones I can see in the browser. Someone suggested that I might try and setRequestProperty() to fake a browser.
Could anyone tell me how to do that? I would really appreciate that. A pointer to a website would also be great...
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies. The program can download the HTML pages correctly, apart from one missing column in a table in each page (which happens to be important for me!).
I am getting the HTML files using HttpURLConnection.
It has been pointed out to me by another someone :) that this might be due to the fact that the site requires a login, which I completely forgotten when writing the code. So that someone seems to suggest that adding code for setting cookies might solve this issue. Can anyone lead me through the process briefly? Or point me to documentation?
Thanks again,
Sameer
What do the files you get look like ? Error pages ?
Default pages ? How are you getting them ? HTTP by
hand ? HttpURLConnection ?

How do I change my Ipad to access Itunes store in a different country than the one I usually use and have my account with?

I usually use the Itunes application on my Ipad in FRence and use the French Itunes store. I am now in Cyprus and after synchronising my Ipad there I now can access the US Itunes Store but my purchases are refused as my account is with the French Itunes store. How do I either open an account with the US Itunes store or revert to the French Itunes store on my Ipad?

synchronising is not the problem i think, you need a new US apple id. i only have a malaysian credit card but i have separate ids for US UK and Malaysia. i have travelled to these 3 countries and have home adresses in each country but for buying stuff, I use an iTunes store card instead of a credit card cos its easier. you do not need a credit card that must have billing address from the same country as the iTunes store. So I would suggest if you are currently based in the US go the nearest apple store buy an iTunes store card (i buy in multiples of US$100 with a credit card) and use your current US home address as the US iTunes address.
so log off your french iTunes store account, create new US apple id for your iTunes store account using your current US address and then redeem your itunes store card and voila you are set to go. (did i mention you will also need a new separate email address for the new apple id) i have one each from gmail, yahoo and hotmail for each separate id.
the only drawback is that when you want to do an update for the apps that you buy from the different iTunes store, you must log in to that iTunes store account ie if you buy an app from the US store you must log in and update with the US store id and to update the apps from the French store you must log off from the US store and log in again with the french store id.
hope this makes sense to you.

How do I create an action to save as, but into a different folder than the one I used to create the action?

I am having an issue with my action being created to save under the same folder that my action was created with. For instance, I opened an image, recorded the action, then I went to a different folder to play the action, but it saves to the previous folder. How do I add some way to change the folder I want my pics to save to?

If you want to give Scripting a try paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.

// 2010, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop;

var docName = thedoc.name;
if (docName.indexOf(".") != -1) {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}
else {var basename = docName};
// getting the location, if unsaved save to desktop;
try {var docPath = thedoc.path}
catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};
// jpg options;

HT1349 how do I change the email contacts I want to sink from a different email than the one listed on itunes?

I am trying to sync my iphone and itunes is preset to an email account with no contact. I want to switch to a different email account to sync to but can't find a way to change the email already listed. Any ideas?
Thanks

Transferring email account settings via the iTunes sync/transfer process has nothing to do with syncing contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer if this is what you are referring to.
If you have an email account that supports syncing contacts over the air, you can manually create the email account with the iPhone's Mail app. This is supported with a Yahoo account, Gmail account, an Apple iCloud account, and with an Exchange account. A Hotmail account can now be accessed as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app.

Ever since upgrading to Lion my iMac opens to a different admin than the one last used and has to be switched. How can that be changed?

How can I change which user boots at start up? Ever since upgrading to Lion X my iMac no longer opens to the user on it prior to shut down. It now opens to a user who is virtually never on - which is actually me under a different name. This division of my Mac happened when I switched to my new Mac and didn't know I had to use the same name to transfer my data. My old data is listed as a separate user. Over time my old user name brings up a window full of ???? at the bottom. It looks like no apps ever upgrade there. It is driving me crazy to have to now switch back each time I start my computer. (I am using an iMac with 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor).

I'm opening a garageband file on a different computer than the one it was made on, and my drum loops are playing as low pitched beeps instead of the jazzy brushes I want. I believe my version is more up-to-date than what I used first. How can I fix this?

I believe I said it all in the question...

Could it be that you had more instruments on the old computer? Or haven't correctly installed the instruments on the new one?
Obviously, GB hasn't assigned a drum instrument to the track that the drum notes are on (my guess: since it doesn't have the desired drum set.) Press cmd-I to make the track info pane visible and pick one of the drum sets for that track.

How tocopy a CD from a different computer than the one I am synced to

My daughter got a Beyonce CD for Xmas. Her iPhone has its "synced" library on an iMac27 which do not come with a CD drive anymore.
So we go to our MBP and load the CD into iTunes there. Then connect her iPhone so we can transfer the CD onto it. But everytime time I try to do that I get the dreaded "You can only be synced to one iTUnes library - Do you want to erase your iPhone and sync to this machine" or something to do effect.
Well I don't want to sync to this computer. I just want to copy a CD onto her iPhone.
Why does iTunes insist on making the simplest little things so maddeningly complicated. All I want is a simple copy.
I have her iPhone set to Manually Manage Music and video on the iMac27 but when iTunes on the MBP says that it is set to Automatically Sync and when I try to change it to Manually Manage it says that it will erase all the contents of the iPhone.
This is sooooooooo irritating.
Thank you for any suggestions!
iPhone 4. iOS 7 iTunes 11.1 Mac OS 10.8.5
PS: I tried to do a search on this subject but there are too many keywords and I couldn't find a similar case with answer.
PPS: Are there any good alternatives to iTunes?

Her iPhone has its "synced" library on an iMac27 which do not come with a CD drive anymore.
So we go to our MBP and load the CD into iTunes there.
So far so good.
Now that the CD is ripped on your computer, copy the song files from your computer to a flash drive. Take the flash drive to her iMac, where you can add the files to her iTunes library.
Then, she can sync her phone to her own library, which will now include the new Beyoncé tracks.

How do I copy backed-up files from an external hard drive back to my MBA, but under a different user than the one from which they were backed up?

On the advice of the Chicago Mac Genius Bar, in order to get better performance on my few years old MBA, I copied my Home folders (but not Library) to an external hard drive, created a new user, deleted the old user, and tried to copy the Home folder contents from the external hard drive back to the MBA under the new user. However, I get an error message and can't open most of the folders on the external hard drive (e.g. "The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.") Help! Thanks.

As captfred says, yes (as long as the drive is formatted for a Mac, not Windoze).
You might want to review the [Time Machine Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#timemachinebasics] and perhaps browse [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
