Google as default page for Safari

I have google as my search enginge on my iphone 6. But when I open up Safari I would also like it to use google as the default web page. Looking at settings for safari, I can't seem to see how to set default web page.

That is because there is no "Home" page for Safari on the phone like there is on a computer. When you open Safari, it will open to the last page you were on unless you close all of the pages, and it will come up blank. The only way to get close to that is to open Google in Safari, then tap the box with the arrow in the center bottom of the page. Then tap on the add to home screen button, and that will put a shortcut on your home page you can use to open Safari. When you do that, it will open to that page.

How can I change the default page for a book?

I have a book that contains six pages. One of the pages contains the login portlet while the others contain account specific information that a user can only see if they are logged in. Currently, I have the default page set to the login page.
I am attempting to write a backing file for the book that will esentially change the default page for the book to be one of the other pages if the user is already logged in. In effect showing a logged in user their account summary page instead of the login portlet.
I can't seem to find a way to change what page the user is shown with the book and page context classes. I can hide the login page, but this leaves the user looking at a blank page. Unfortunately I can't use entitlements, otherwise this would be easy.
Does anyone know how to "forward" to another page from a backing file?
Thanks,
Sam

Got it!
In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

Set Default page for LSO

Hi All,
We required Training activity as default page for LSO. I am a portal guy and new to LSO. If any configuration is need please provide step by step process.
Advance Thanks,
Regards,
Srinivasu.Y

Hi Srini,
Well, you need to to know lit bit of BSP for this. The Page that is called initially is leso.html.
From SE80 > BSP Application > HCM_LEARNING, look for Leso.htm. In the onRequest event, you should find the below code
CALL METHOD application->create_url
    EXPORTING
      im_alias     = application->co_alias_traininghome
      im_parameter = lt_parameter
      im_target    = 'content'
    IMPORTING
      ex_url       = core.
This code takes the user always to Training home. You need to replace this code to take the user to activities.htm.
Ofcourse, you cannot modify HCM_LEARNING. So you would need to create a Z copy of this and do the mapping in the view LSPAGE_ALIAS_C.
Cheers.

If the Enterprise Portal have a default page for creating a blog?

Hello!
   I want to know if the Enterprise Portal have a default page for creating something like a blog, with personal information, comments...
   can I using the tool XML Form Builder or something else?
   Thank
   lexian

Hi Lexian,
I don't believe the Portal currently has any tool that can be used conveniently to create blog type content.
You are right, you could potentially use the XML Forms Builder to create a form which might just about do what you want it to, but this would be very fiddley and is not really designed for this purpose.
If you can wait, you should use the WebPage Composer that is due to released in the Portal from April.
Here at SDN we are currently looking into using it to display our blogs and I must say research is looking good so far.

Marc

Workgroup Manager - Set default home page for Safari

Hello
is it possible to set a default homepage for the a suite of macs using Workgroup manager, for some reason the mac suite are not picking up the homepage set via the proxy, so if it could be changed it would be a great help.
thanks

Then just add it yourself. Do this:
Select any other value available in the com.apple.Safari manifest and then edit the raw xml. This can be done by doing the normal process described above but choosing something other than Home Page. I choose Download location. Then, click back on Accounts and go to the Inspector tab. If you do not have it enable, go WGM's preferences and enable the "show all records tab."
Once that is visible, select the account that you modified and then click the Inspector tab. From the list, find MCXSettings and turn the reveal arrow down. Select the MCX entry and press the edit pencil. You will see something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>mcxapplicationdata</key>

<key>com.apple.Safari</key>

</dict>
</array>
<key>mcx_targets</key>
<array>
<string>user-managed</string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
Simply hand enter the value you want so it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<array>

<key>mcxpreferencesettings</key>
<dict>
<key>DownloadsPath</key>
<string>~/HERE/</string>
<key>HomePage</key>
<string>http://www.happy.com/</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</array>
<key>mcx_targets</key>
<array>
<string>user-managed</string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
THen optionally, remove the DownloadPath key and value.
That should do it for you.

Firefox and default site - when I open firefox google comes up fine - but any other sibsequesnt page I have to type in google can I set up a default page for every page that I open up in a window

Hello
When I open Firefox, google comes up as my default page. This is fine but if I open additional windows next to the default page nothing comes up.
Can you set google or any other page to be the default page in any window I open. It is annoying to have to keep on typing google in every time I want to open a new page with firefox

You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> 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=

PDF Default program for Safari

How do I set Preview to be the default program for opening PDF files while in Safari? Currently every time I open one, it defaults to Acrobat. I have looked at the internet plugin folder (as suggested in another post), but that file does not exist.

I tried this:
Open Acrobat and go to Acrobat preferences. In the Categories column, select Internet. In that window, uncheck "Display PDF in window browser using Adobe Acrobat".

Change Defaults Settings for Safari

Since I upgraded to the New Mountain Lion, the Default Settings for my Safari browser is Bay City. How do I change this where I live?

HI Norm,
Open System Preferences/Network. Select Airport in the panel in the left then click the Advanced tab then click the Proxies tab. Where you see: Select a protocol to configure Make sure there are NO boxes checked.
Click the Airport tab in that same window. Make sure your network is listed under: Preferred Networks
If not, cick + Type in your network name or click Show Networks and select it from there. Your network should be listed in the Preferred Networks window now. Just below that window select the box next to: Remember networks this computer has joined.
If you still have problems, open Airport Utility (Applications/Utilities)
Select your device on the left then click Continue. In the next window click: I want to restore this AirPort device to its factory settings and then set it up again; then click Continue.
I'm on Comcast without using any Proxies.
You can disconnect the Comcast cable modem from it's power source for about 5 minutes then reconnect. Sometimes you have to recycle the modem.
AirPort troubleshooting guide
Also, on the G5. Go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration and move these files to the Trash.
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
com.apple.network.identification.plist
You may only see the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file in that list since it's running 10.5.x
Don't worry about the other .plist files if they are not available.

Can I have a "Speed Dial" or "Fast Dial" as my home page for Safari?

Is there anyway to do this?
I would really like to be able to have Safari set up with some type of Speed dial.
For those of you who dont know, its basically a home page with about 9 different thumbnails that are constantly logged into their own sites.
Its very quick and efficient.

I think he's talking about something like the Fast Dial extension for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5721) but for safari. I use it on firefox and would like to see it on Safari too

Can I set a home page for Safari on iPad Mini?

Very simple. Can this be accomplished? Am I missing a setting somewhere? My iPad Mini is fully updated, purchased in December 2012 as a Christmas gift to me. As new as can be. I use my business web page as my home page on Safari on every computer I own, so my iPad Mini is the only device I have not been able to set Safari to display as my start page on my iPad Mini.
Thanks for your help,
Kelly J.

It doesn't have a homepage setting as such, but you can go to a particular site and then create a homescreen shortcut for that page - then when you tap on that shortcut you'll be taken to that page.

Setting default page for group

I have a single content area setup with 2 folders. Each folder has been published as a portlet and are displayed on my page
in tabs (1 folder portlet included in each tab). I have 2 groups: Group A should have Tab 1 on page displayed as default
and Group B should have Tab 2 on page displayed as default.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Lisa

first,you should edit your page, then click the edit icon of your tab,in the opening window click the tab 'advanced option',in this page you can grant your group access.
finally,you should set your two group default page to your page.

How do I set the default page for a new tab?

For some reason every time I open a new tab it goes to Bing. I would prefer it be blank, or even go to Google instead.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
*NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

Change default zoom for Safari

I have a 11" MBA and find there are two much blank space on both sides. Can someone advise me how to change the default zoom level. Thanks!

I implemented the MacWorld suggestion. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 (11G63) and Safari 6.0.1 (7536.26.14). I found that the 'global' zoom changes were problematic — meaning that on some web sites the new override zoom setting was correct but on others the override zoom changes were not. I do not have time to research the web pages in question to see if there was a common denominator for this inconsistency.
Moreover, when I tried to change my zoom setting a second time, Safari 'flashed' the new setting momentarily and then immediately displayed the first setting as noted above. Deleting the CSS file reference within Safari preferences had no effect on how Safari displayed each web page - nor did moving/deleting the CSS file itself. I also tried the following with no effect this behavior:
Stop/start of Safari
Reseting Safari
Rebooting my MBP
Resetting OS X file permissions from 644 username staff to 777 root wheel
My 'fix' was to move/delete the $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist file so that this file was recreated by Safari the next time I started this app. I surmised that somehow OS X was retaining the first CSS file override zoom setting but not updating it with subsequent changes (or deletions). Be forewarned that by regenerating this plist some Safari customizations (toolbar, etc.) will be lost.
I hope this information will help others moving forward...

How to reset to default settings for safari 4.1.3

Need a bit of help here... for some reason I'm not getting use of Safari 4.1.3, not able to open sites, the Open location function in pull down menu is greyed out and no bar for typing in sites I want to browse. I think I just may have to reset Safari to default settings, but not sure how... Opening up Preferences is no help.

Hi..
I hate to say this but v10.4.11 with Safari 4.1.3 is really outdated. You may have problems loading websites for that reason alone and lack of security. Apple has not updated Safari for Tiger for years.
But try a reset.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select the following:
Clear history
Reset Top Sites
Remove all webpage preview images
Empty the cache
Clear the Downloads window
Remove all cookies
Remove all website icons
Click Reset
Quit and relaunch Safari. See if that made a difference.
I have an iBook G4 running v10.4 with Safari 4.1.3 and more often than not, websites won't load. Or I'll see the, "your browser is not supported', dialog.
You might want to consider a new Mac at some point.
