If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />

I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. Thanks for any ideas!

On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing. Thanks for any ideas!

Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it. I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

Why does a my layered Illustrator file open with only one layer, when opened by someone else?

I am using CS6, as is the other user. When they open the file in Illustrator all the artwork is on one layer, even though the original file has numerous layers, and opens with these layers when I open it even now.
I have never come across this problem before in all the years I have used Illustrator and have had no joy when trying to search for this problem.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated as it is confusing us!
Thank you.

Hi Mike, Wade & Larry,
Thank you so much for your replies.
Since I posted this issue, I was later informed that the other user is infact opening my files with CS5 and so a quick solution to this was saving it down to a previous version! Sorry for the confusion!
This problem then becomes clear that it was a version error, but I have always had an error message come up if I try to open something that was created in a newer verion - is this no longer the case?
I have been assured no pop up messages appear when opening the file which I find odd, and also that this layer compression has only just started happening even though many files have been back and forth previously.
A little mystery! At least for now it is all working ok again
Thank you all very much, greatly appreciated.

Firefox home page opens with jzip and will not open as google, yahoo, unless manually entered - plus window appears asking to set yahoo as default but doesn't work. t

I have tried all the home page set-up options without success. I have deleted Firefox and reloaded with no change. The Firefox program will open with no other home page but jzip.com

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

I don't want Safari to re-open all windows from last session; can't make it stop. Set Safari preferences to new window and new tab open with blank page, but it won't.

P.S. Also cleared cache and History. Running OS 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.

I hate this "feature", and it is another example of Apple taking functionality (and choice) away from the user. In this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4550
there is a description of it.
Resume in OS X Lion
When you open Safari in Lion or restart the Mac, Safari automatically restores the open windows and tabs from your last browsing session, so you can continue right where you left off.
Tip: To open Safari without resume, hold down the shift key (⇧) as you open Safari. Safari will then open with the options you selected in the "General" tab of Safari preferences, options like your homepage.
In Mac OS X v10.6 and Microsoft Windows, you can choose to have Safari automatically restore your windows in the "General" tab of Safari preferences.
99 times out of 100, I DON'T want to restore all the windows from my last browser session. It makes zero sense for them to take the checkbox out of the General tab of the Safari Prefs.

Open With Blank Page?

After upgrading to Lion it seems that I am forced to open Safari with the last page viewed. I prefer to open with a blank page but that option is now missing from the Safari Preferences. Has Apple removed this option from Safari 5.1?

The first time I opened Safari after changing that setting it still came up with the previously viewed page, but since then seems to have resolved the problem.
Apple needs to make it an option in Safari, however, rather than requiring the resume feature to be disabled for all applications just to stop previous pages from loading when Safari is opened.

Firefox only opens with blank page regardless of any websites I go to.

I've tried re-installation, but to no avail. Even updated to the latest version to ensure that I don't miss out on anything. Nothing I've tried could work, I've restarted the computer for about 6 times and I think the only alternative left is for me to reboot my system, because evidently, the same problem persists in my IE as well. Only my Google Chrome and Opera seems to be working fine.
This problem happened after I installed the automatic updates on windows, I've tried uninstalling the update too, but it just opens with a blank page.
On a sidenote, my G-Mail account has been continuously hacked by an IP address in UK from January till now. Do you think that's relevant? I'm sure I didn't download any malware/spyware nor key in any login creditentials.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I finished the Windows automatic update. ==

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

TextEdit 1.7 doesn't open with blank page - why?

Why the change, Apple, why?
I use TextEdit all the time - it's simple - I can copy and paste important web-realted writings, like the one I'm writing right now, in case the web crashes or my wifi goes out or yet another Safari bug appears. And when my writing is inspired, I can open TextEdit quickly and get the idea typed quickly - unlike other programs that take a moment to open.
But now, TextEdit has changed in OS 10.7.3, for some reason:
1. When you open the application, it reverts to whatever you were typing before, or whatever document was saved the last time you opened TextEdit. E.g., it doesn't open with a blank page. Why on earth would you change this? Now when I'm finished typing something, I have to select ALL and DELETE the work, so it doesn't distract me when I open a new document, or I want to save some completely new document. That simply adds up to more mouse-clicking in a long day.
2. There is no "save as" under File. Just "save". Again, why change this?
Apple / Mac, just ask yourselves, is this a "change", or an "improvement"?

How do I make safari open with blank page but keep resume?

Since Lion, Safari always opens with the last opened website.
I don't want that! How can I make sure that Safari opens
with a full and BLANK screen ???
Specifically I do NOT want to uncheck resume function for ALL
applications. I want to FORCE Safari to open a specific website,
or a blank page - REGARDLESS if resume is on or off !!!
My computer doesn't do what I want!
Is this a ALPHA version???

Here you go:
Go to terminal and type in the following:
defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
If you decide that you rather have the new resume behavior, execute the above commands but change YES to NO
You can also do the same for Preview:
defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES

How do I get Firefox to open a blank website when I open a new tab and not this "Bing" search engine page?

Whenever I open a blank tab I'm taken to some page where I can search the web with a search engine called Bing. This isn't a major problem but it causes a LOT of annoyance since the cursor is right in the search engine box and not in the address bar like before. Like I said, not a major problem, just annoying and I'd like it fixed if I can.

This article maybe helps to you
