  • How can I make ringtones show in my Tones tab rather than the Music tab?

    I just bought my first iPhone 4 and uploaded a bunch of music ringtone files to iTunes and changed the default preference to display the Tones tab. However, the ringtones all got added to the Music tab rather than the Tones tab. I have a number of questions:
    I'm used to other phones where any music file can be set as a ringtone for a particular contact. Is this the case for iPhones too?
    If so, how can I set a ringtone for a contact from these music files?
    If not, how can I get the ringtones to appear in the Tones tab? I assume that I would have to do that to sync ringtones to my iPhone ringtone "folder".
    Is there another alternative? I read on the forum something about dragging ringtone files to the iPhone. Not sure I understood that! Does this mean I can drag a music file from the Music tab to the iPhone icon and have that file end up in the iPhone ringtone "folder"? If it ends up in the Music "folder", how do I access it to set it as a contact ringtone?
    Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

    It would be good if this was made a user-defined Option (Tools -> Options -> Tabs) in the next update of Firefox rather than having to install an add-on. I currently keep Firefox open to view my Accuweather.com add-on running or because I know that I will be returning to Firefox in short order. (I do close Firefox if I have visited a sensitive or secure site to ensure better security.) Every time I want to go to a bookmark, I must open a new "(Untitled)" tab before selecting my bookmark using the keyboard (I'm a dedicated keystroker; it's much faster for me). This way, when I close the website, I have an "(Untitled)" tab displaying so that Firefox doesn't close. Why can't I set an Option parameter that will result in me not having to go through this? Alternatively, allow users to set an option to keep Firefox loaded and open in the event only one tab is open and maybe if only one Firefox application window is running (I avoid having more than one Firefox window open as much as possible). I've addressed this last issue in the past but have seen no change when one closes the last tab in a Firefox window. As general practice, I would think that Firefox would run better if options, like I have described above, were part of the Firefox application code and not given to needing an add-on which may cause instability in Firefox as they have in the past, even with author verification and certification.

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • 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 can I make Safari not to display on all desktops?

    Try only having one Safari window open at a time. You use tabbed browsing.

    I can't be sure, but what probably happens is that the page doesn't give you a link to a downloadable file, but a button which activates a script. There's nothing you can do about that, because you don't control the script.
    it just downloads the transcripts not the document.
    It sounds like the downloaded file does not open or execute as it's supposed to (which, for instance, would happen if what you downloaded was a Java application, but you didn't have Java installed).
    If you are allowed to, give us the URL and we'll have a look. Also, you should add what version of Mac OS X and of Safari you are using, and you should correct your profile (which says "Mac Pro" -- this forum is for the MacBook Pro, which is a different computer from the Mac Pro).

  • How can I make safari automatically open a word/pdf doc after it has been  downloaded?

  • How do I make Safari open PDF's using installed Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0

    I would like to force Safari 3.1.2 to open all PDF links using Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0. How do I accomplish this? I have no problem making Safari use the Adobe Reader, however, I would like to use the full Adobe Program so I can save and download interactive PDF forms I have filled out on the web. Using the Adobe reader, you can only download the form itself - all supplied information using the form's interactive features are lost when the filled in form is downloaded.

    Hello, Carolyn:
    Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, it is not working for me. I have both Adobe Acrobat v. 7.1.0 and Acrobat Reader v. 9.0.0 running on my computer. In either program's preferences both programs are availabe when I choose the program to display PDF files in the browser (Safari). There is no problem setting Safari's PDF handling to the default value.
    When I choose Acrobat Reader to be the program to display PDF files in the browser, Safari will indeed use Acrobat Reader. However, when I choose Adobe Acrobat v. 7.1.0, Safari does not use the Adobe Acrobat program to display the PDF file, rather the file is displayed by the PDF handling features built in to Safari. I have found no way to make Safari use the full version of Adobe Acrobat. PDF files residing on my computer opens without difficulty using my copy of Adobe Acrobat v. 7.1.0. Do you have any other ideas that would help solve this problem?

  • How can I make preview open in Firefox when googling?

    When I highlight a word in Preview, right-click and then select "Search in Google," it automatically opens in Safari. How can I change this to do so in Firefox, which I already have set as my default web browser? Thanks.

    Open a PDF in Preview. Now, right-click on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar ...
    Drag the circled items from the customize panel to your toolbar and release there.
    Click the middle button in the Zoom panel. The Scale will report 100%.
    Your future Preview documents will open at 100% now.

  • How can I make Safari start my homepage all the time?

    I don't like that Safari starts the last page that I was on everytime I run the application. How can I change this so that my default homepage is opened everytime instead?

    Go to your Safari menu bar click Safari > Prefrerences then select the General tab.
    You can set your home page from there.
    If you are running Lion v10.7, disable the Lion "resume" feature...
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:  Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    BTW... when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. That really helps.
