From Google to MSN

Quite frankly I now think MSN's search provides better results than google and I'd lke to know how to change the "Google Search Bar" to an MSN one.
I was a big fan of G's for a long time (about 10 years) but seems like too many people have taken advantage of their tricks and if you're searching for something general MSN is the way to go as G's will have junk on the first page.
If there's a way to code it please let me know.

You could download and install Acid Search, this can be found on Macupdate. Acid search enables you to choose which search engine and which country version you use.

How do I undo the damage from Google Play?

I am not sure which forum to send this to. Please refer me to the correct forum if I cannot be helped here.
I used Google Play, a free cloud where I can store ITunes songs. I uploaded all 4500 songs over 4 days, but now my IMac is totally messed up!
I never had any problems until this Google Play.
I have an IMac and the operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Everything was fine until I started using "Google Play" and it's Music Manager.
I used "Google Play" and sent (uploaded) all my 4500 ITunes songs to the cloud called Google Play. This took 4 days to upload, because Google Play is a very slow program. My IMac has been messed up since:
1) Everything now is super - super slow.
2) Cannot restart or shut down my iMac computer. Get a message that I must quit Safari first. But I can't quit safari because the quit safari option in the menu is always grayed out now. So the only way I can shut down or restart is to manually shut off the computer, (via the button in the back of the IMac) which may harm it. And when I click the button or switch in the back to turn the iMac back on, the problems and the trash dialogue boxes (see #3 below) remain the same. They do not go away.
3) cannot move anything to the trash. (I am trying to empty the cache in the library to speed up the computer.) I just get dozens of trash dialogue boxes that say "preparing to move to trash" but this goes on forever and nothing is moved to the trash. And I can't get rid of these dialogue boxes that say "preparing to move to trash". There are loads of them and they stay forever, even if I shut down the computer and turn it on again.
Some things I try to move to trash but I get a "copy" dialogue box with the message "Prepare to move to desktop" and that message goes on forever also.
Or it says "Preparing to move to "com.apple.AddressBook" but nothing happens.
(the last one - "com.apple.AddressBook"- is one I had tried to move to the trash).
Shutting off the computer does not help. These trash dialogue boxes are back when I turn on the computer.
4) Trying to speed up computer by going into Utilities (Finder/Go/Utilities) and then clicking on Disk Utility, then McIntosh HD, and then "verify disk". This is supposed to speed up the computer. But when I go into Utilities, the Utilities dialogue box is empty - there is no "Disk Utility" to click on. There is nothing in the dialogue box, except a small spinning circle in the bottom right of the dialogue box that looks like it is trying to do something, but nothing ever happens.
5) Can no longer save documents. If I try to save a new document (click file/save or save as) the new document does not show up in my documents folder.
Maybe the 4 days of uploading filled my IMac with all kinds of spyware and that messed things up. Who knows?
I do have Intego VirusBarrier 6, and have had that and their previous version VirusBarrier 5 for a few years. I ran a full scan yesterday and it found only one new virus besides the 2 I previously had and that were already in quarantine I put the new one in quarantine too.
Is there anything I can do?

If I use the Google box, then when I copy the text from Google, it's plain text? Is that correct?
I just used the EditText method and it worked. Thanks

How to change the default search engine? I accidentaly change it from google to yahoo, and I can't get it back. I changed my homepage too, but it isn't solved. Thanks

dear, there.

Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

Number ported out from Google Voice to Verizon not working

I am a new Verizon Wireless customer and I ported my number from Google Voice to Verizon. (number ending in 8466). However, Verizon keeps saying that they are waiting on Google while Google says they have released the number.
Message from Google:
Google Voice has successfully approved your request, but the carrier to whom you are porting hasn't completed their necessary action. If you are still having issues and your number doesn't successfully port in 2-3 business days, please contact your new carrier for support, as Google Voice is unable to take any additional action.
Message from Verizon:
Your port request has been submitted, but no response has been received. We expect your port request will be completed within 10 business days.
So obviously there's something wrong here. According to Google they cannot do anything since they have released the number so now it's all on Verizon. I am hoping someone from Verizon can look into this ASAP and escalate if necessary. It's really annoying because at this point I'm not receiving any inbound calls or text messages. I can only make outbound calls and send SMS messages. I understand there is an X number of business days I need to wait but at this point I am paying for a service that I cannot use and no one is able to reach me.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

Thanks sprmankalel but I've already done that. That's where I got the message "Your port request has been submitted, but no response has been received. We expect your port request will be completed within 10 business days."
And when I check on Google Voice's end "Google Voice has successfully approved your request, but the carrier to whom you are porting hasn't completed their necessary action"
Interesting huh?

Is the bundled Whatsapp which came with the phone by default any different from a downloaded version from Google PlayStore?

Greetings!
I'm a noob and not so much of a techie, henceforth I would greatly appreciate your input.
Referring to the above matter, it was stated on my Xperia Ion that I would need to update Whatsapp to the latest version from Google PlayStore in order to use it. Fair enough, I got onto PlayStore and found it. There was no "update" button anywhere, there were only "uninstall" and "open".
Now obviously when i select "open" this will open the app, which will bring me back to where it says that I'll need an updated version.
The other option I can choose from is "uninstall", which I pressed, and then the "install" option came soon after. Installed it and ran it without problems whatsoever.
However, I'm wondering, upon the installation of Whatsapp from PlayStore, it was mentioned that the app is free for this year, and that I'll need to pay for it upon the expiry of free period in the event I intend to continue using it, which shall be next year.
Now my question (finally):- With regards to the initial outdated version of Whatsapp that came with the phone (which I have deleted), will I need to pay for the app upon the completed usage of a year too, similar to the newer one I've downloaded from PlayStore?
Please advise. Cheers!

it's the same thing, not all phones have the preloaded app, this varies by region and/or carrier

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N), I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

How do I get Firefox 12 to open a link from Google search results?

Ever since upgrading to version 12.0, whenever I click on certain links the browser just "reloads" the same page I am on rather than loading the new page in the same tab. When this happens it's not opening the link in a new tab or window, instead just for a second the tab I am on says "connecting" and has the circular busy indicator, and then I'm right where I was before. In order actually follow a link I'm having to context click and then click Open in a new Tab.
On a lot of websites the links follow as usual and open the new page in the same tab. Others don't however, such as the search results page from google. I'm wondering if this is something to do with the new anti-duplicate tab feature, and if so, how do I disable that? I'm on OSX 10.6.8. Thanks.

Only Some Events Duplicated from Google in iCal - Yosemite and iOS 8.1.2

I have some shared Google calendars with some folks that I work with, and when I download them from Google onto my Mac and onto my iPhone, some of them are duplicated. Specifically, there are two recurring (every) weekday events that always duplicate throughout the year, whereas weekly recurring events do not duplicate. I am not using iCloud to sync calendars, and Delegates are off. There are no duplicates in the Google Calendar, just on my devices. Further, others with the same permissions for those Google Calendars are not having the same issue. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

I have a similar problem on my iPhone 6+ but have Mavericks on my Mac Pro and none of the other WiFi issues on other systems. Have Yosemite installed on my MacBook Pro but it's turned off so no WiFi running on it at the moment. On the iPhone I'm unable to run any apps that need to connect to internet and unable to get any sites on Safari: "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." is the message I get from all sites, including apple.com.

We are deloying IPhone 4s models in our organization and I am trying to setup a one way sync from Google to IPhone? Help

We are deploying IPhone model 4s in our organization and we want to have a Global addressbook. I have setup with Google using Gmail and accessing the contacts however this provides a two-way sync. I need the setup to be a one-way sync from Google to IPhone only!
HELP

I use the same id and password as I want them all in the same place. I have tried other solutions offered here like turning off contact, saving to the phone and turning them back on and merging. still no contacts go to icloud.

Why doesn't the App Store have a Google Talk client FROM Google?

An IM client without push notifications isn't an IM client. I don't know why a person wouldn't just use email as opposed to a Safari-based IM client on a device that can't run Safari+anything (or when the device is idle). Web-based Google Talk is pointless when iPhone user A has to call iPhone user B and say, "hey, let's chat in Google Talk! go to your Google Talk web site and let's start!". just ridiculous.
What's just as silly is expecting people to give a 3rd party your Google Account credentials. From looking at the forums, plenty of people do just that which blows my mind. Think for 10 minutes all your personal information someone has if they have your Google Account credentials. More and more people are nervous at what Google might do with that info and I'm expected to share my credentials with a 3rd party I've never heard of??
What's even more laughable are those that give their "Google Apps" credentials to those 3rd party IM services which is basically for those that use Google for their corporate email, calendar, docs, internal web sites, etc. I mean, that's grounds for dismissal in most organizations (the bottomline is that there is no Google Talk capability for the iPhone if you are a Google Apps customer, for reasons of practicality and corporate compliancy).
Aside from blowing off steam, I'd like to know who is holding up Google from releasing a Google Talk app for the iPhone that has push notification? Is it Google that's uninterested or Apple that prohibiting them? From what little I've found and from where these two are seeming to part ways, it looks like it's Apple holding up Google from releasing this app. If that's the case, I'd like someone to confirm so I (and hopefully others) can start complaining to Apple. Right now this is the biggest reason I'm waiting for at&t to offer an Android-based device instead of buying my first iPhone. I'm tired of waiting but if Apple is holding Google at bay just for an IM client, I can see the writing on the walls and want no part of an Apple world devoid of Google apps. I just soon go with Android and benefit from the software developer that's developing the most useful apps available (google).

Official word from Google rep:
"This limitation is not because of Google's relationship with Apple and Apple is not thwarting Google from delivering a GTalk solution"
So my theory gets flushed down the toilet apparently. Oh well!

All day events from Google truncated on Pre

An 'all day' event created in Google which lasts more than 1 day will show with the last day of the event missing on the Pre. I just deleted and reset the account (Palm recommend fix) and all the multiple 'all day' events still show one day short on the Pre. However the info in the event details on the Pre indicate the correct date range. Eg: I just created a 4 day event from Nov 4 to Nov 8 on Google. Pre shows Nov 4 to 7 graphically only but with Nov 4 to 8 in the details.
This ONLY happens if the 'all day' event is created on Google first and editing the event on the Pre will not change the incorrect display.
Similarly, if an event is created on my Pre it show's one day short on my wife's Pre because the info was synced from Google, so sharing Google calendars is unreliable when using 'all day' events.
Both Pre's and Google are on same Time zone. Google Accounts and Pre's have been reset with no changes.
Has anyone had this issue and does anyone know of a fix?
Cheers
Emmanuel
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Common issue, and there's no fix. Any multi-day events that you label as "all-day" will not display the last day on the Pre. You can make the last day show up by starting such events at midnight of the first day, and ending them at 1159pm of the last day. Only problem with that technique is that you'll see colored event bars all over any calendar view you choose (instead of the "all-day" event button at the top of a calendar view).
My solution was to use the technique I just described, but since it renders the Pre calendar pretty much useless due to all the bars all over the place, I now use the "Agenda" homebrew app available at Precentral.net. Agenda syncs with the Pre calendar, but it displays events in list form which, if you use my technique, makes events MUCH easier to read. And you'll always show the last day.
Why Palm hasn't fixed this is boggling.
