Home page on safari for iPhone

new user here so thanx in advance for any help/patience/consideration.
Is there a way to configure a home page on the iPhone?
or do I need to "go back" to where I started every time I leave?

No way to set a home page, you could create a web clip for the page you want as your home page.

Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

James,
Thanks for your response. The image was on a site I maintain. I have already replaced the image with a jpg, which works fine. I believe I can duplicate the problem, if you think it is worth it. Gimme a few...
http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about2.html is the page with the png I restored to use.

Just checked. The png still does not display on iPhone(5) or iPad(3). The image was also made by me in pixelmator and both (png and jpg) were exprted from pixelmator.
thanks again,
Tim

Multiple home pages in Safari

Is there a way to implement multiple home pages on Safari like you can on Firefox. I don't like Firefox because it takes 2 years to load and looks dumb. Safari is much nicer and I would really appreciate it if Apple could maybe implement this feature in future upgrades.
Thanks for any suggestions.

only way I know to do this is as follows....
right click on the bookmarks bar and select add folder. I have created one called 'home'. One by one drag all of the pages you want to open to your 'home' page folder icon.
From the safari menu select 'bookmarks / show all bookmarks'. This will show you all of your bookmarks. one of them should be your 'home' folder, and next to this will be a column titled 'auto-click', with a check box in it. select the check box. This will change the icon next to the folder in the bookmark bar from a triangle to a square.
In safari / preferences, under the general section, for the option 'new window opens with' select the value 'empty page'.
When you open a new safari window, you will get a blank page, but with one click on the 'home' bookmark, all the required pages are automatically opened in separate tabs.
You can create a number of different 'home' pages in this way, and when you select each one, safari will close all of the existing open tabs and open the new tabs required....
hope this helps.....

How do i make a tab active and make it stay that way always. If i put a website in my home page in order for the tabs to open automatically in that same homepage , this setting is not working, every time I open a tab , a white window appears .

By default Firefox opens a blank page for a new Tab, there is no setting to change that action without installing an add-on.
New Tab Homepage extension: <br />

Can I set up a home page in safari

How can I set up a home page in Safari on the iPad

There isn't a home page capability in Safari but you can add an icon of a page URL to the Home screen. Touching this icon will start Safari and point it to that URL.

How to set a default home page in Safari

Is there a way to set up a default home page in Safari so that when I launch it, it will always go to that page first?

Navigate to the page you want to be your home page. Press the + and then Add to Home Screen. Now simply use that new icon to launch Safari instead of the Safari icon.

How do I set a "normal" home-page in Firefox for Android? (instead of the "awesome screen")

How do I set a "normal" home-page in Firefox for Android? I don't want the homepage to be the "awesome screen" (which I personally don't find to be very awesome - way too much going on in one page for a small smartphone screen).
I just want a regular home page that I can set myself. For example, in Firefox for my personal laptop, I've set my homepage Google.com. In Firefox on my work computer, I've set my homepage to our company intranet login. I really prefer and need this flexibility in setting my home page.
In Firefox for Android, if I go into Settings/Customize/Homepage , the only options I see for changing the home page is to de-select certain items on the "awesome screen". There's no option to set a URL address for a normal homepage. If I de-select/hide all the items on the awesome screen, I simply get a blank home page (no web page, just a prompt telling me to enter a URL address).
The other major browsers for Android allow me to set a "normal" home page. Firefox is my favorite browser for my laptop. I wish I could get it to work normally for Android. :( :( :(

hello betsy, at the moment such a feature is not implemented in firefox, but as a workaround you can add a bookmark to a site to the homescreen of your phone, which should have the same effect: [[Use bookmarks on Firefox for Android to keep track of your favorite websites]]

Safari will not load the home page when I open it. It defaults to last open window. I set preferences to go to home page but Safari decides otherwise.

Mac Mini - Yosemite 10.10.1 The home page in 'Safari Preferences > General > Home Page' will not load when I start the computer (automatic log-in). Safari is ticked to open at log-in. It opens with the last previous web page displayed prior to shutting down the computer.
I have looked in 'System Preferences' > General but did not find anything relevant. Ditto 'Security' and 'Privacy'

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Monitor Safari for iPhone browsing from iMac?

Don't know much about iCloud or if this is even an option. Wondering if there is a way to monitor web browsing (i.e. what sites are visited) on Safari for iPhone on my iMac using a combination of Parental Controls and iCloud somehow. Is iCloud solely for syncing other types of content? Is there an option to disable the 'Clear History' function on Safari for iPhone? Never seen it....worth asking.
I know how to disable Safar for iPhone in the restrictions. Trying to avoid that if at all possible. Just want accountable usage of Safari for iPhone without having to disable it and download some other browsing app that will not match Safari's superb mobile browsing experience.

Where to download Safari for Iphone?

For some reason my Iphone doesn't have Safari!!!
Where can I download it, I've looked everywhere.
Really sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm pulling out my hair!!!
Thx in advance

Maybe you have hid the icon.
In settings you can restore the default icons.
From the manual Page 149
Resetting iPhone
Reset all settings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information, such as your contacts and calendars, and media, such as your songs and videos, aren’t deleted.
Erase all content and settings: Connect iPhone to your computer or a power adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”
This resets all settings to their defaults and erases all your information and media:
• On iPhone 3GS: by removing the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption)
• On iPhone and iPhone 3G: by overwriting the data
Important: You can’t use iPhone while data is being overwritten. This can take up to two hours or more, depending on the model and storage capacity of your iPhone.
(On iPhone 3GS, the removal of the encryption key is immediate.)
Reset network settings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.
When you reset network settings, your list of previously used networks and VPN settings not installed by a configuration profile are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” settings are left turned on.
To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, choose Settings > General > Profile, then select the profile and tap Remove.
Reset the keyboard dictionary: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
You add words to the keyboard dictionary by rejecting words iPhone suggests as you type. Tap a word to reject the correction and add the word to the keyboard dictionary. Resetting the keyboard dictionary erases all words you’ve added.
Reset the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Home Screen Layout.
Reset the location warnings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Location Warnings.
Or you can search the phone for Safari and see if it shows up.
From the manual Page 37
Searching
You can search many applications on iPhone, including Mail, Calendar, iPod, Notes, and Contacts. You can search an individual application, or search all the applications at once using Spotlight.
Go to Spotlight: From the main page of the Home screen, flick left to right.
If you’re on the main Home screen page, you can press the Home button to go to Spotlight. From the Spotlight page, press the Home button to return to the main Home screen page. You can also set iPhone to go to Spotlight when you double-click the Home button. See “Home” on page 147.
Search iPhone: On the Spotlight page, enter text in the Search field. Search results appear automatically as you type. Tap Search to dismiss the keyboard and see more of the results.
Icons to the left of the search results let you know which application the results are from. Tap an item in the results list to open it.
Application
What’s searched
Contacts
First, last, and company names
Mail
To, From, and Subject fields of all accounts (the text of messages isn’t searched)
Calendar
Event titles, invitees, and locations (notes aren’t searched)
iPod
Music (names of songs, artists, and albums) and the titles of podcasts, video, and audiobooks
Notes
Text of notes
Spotlight also searches the names of the native and installed applications on iPhone, so if you have a lot of applications you may want to use Spotlight as a way to locate and open applications.
Open applications from Spotlight: Enter the application name, then tap to open the application directly from the search results.
Use the Search Results settings to choose which applications are searched and the order in which they’re searched. See “Home” on page 147.
I do not think you can delete the programs that come from the factory.

Visit normal, non mobile websites on Safari for iPhone?

I just recently got an iphone and I really like it so far, but when I visit espn's website I get forced to their mobile site which is not what I want. Is there a way to change the settings on Safari to load webpages normally?
Thanks

When using Safari on iPhone, it is usally the website that decides whether to push a mobile version of a site. When a web developer such as the ones who wrote the website for ESPN, they have the ability to tell which browser you are using when you access the site.
So, that being said, there is no way to force safari to pull the normal page, that would be up to the developer of the webpage. That being said, I took a trip on over to the ESPN webpage on my iPhone. It looks like if you scroll all the way to the bottom you can click on the ESPN.com link and it will take you away from the mobile page, and give you the full content page you would normally see on your computer.
