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.

How can I make my computer restart with all the same windows that were open when a shut it down?

How can I make my computer restart with all the same windows that were open when a shut it down?

That is the way Mac OS X 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) works by default. Are you actually running that system? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.) If so, make sure the check box in the shut down alert is checked:

How can I keep a network drive mounted all the time?

I have a Mac Mini hooked to my TV which is running Boxee. All of the videos/music is pulled from a network drive.
I have the drive set up to mount on Mac boot by putting it in my start up items. The problem I am running into is sometimes the drive will go offline or I may have to reboot it for one reason or another. When this happens the Mac Mini looses the mounted drive and I have to reboot the computer.
What I need is some kind of application that sits in the background and constantly checks to see if the drive is mounted and if it is not it mounts it again for me like it does on start up.
Any Ideas???

Cron isn't used by OS X anymore, launchd handles scheduled tasks now, but you could still use cron if you wanted to schedule a task. This is a good place to start: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2001020700163714
You can definitely set up a launchd daemon, but it might be pretty complicated if you've never done it, it also may be more than you want to invest in this particular issue. Read about it here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystem Startup/Articles/LaunchOnDemandDaemons.html
I've also seen people recommend just setting an event to repeat in iCal. For the event, add an alarm, and as the alarm, tell it to run a script. Have the event repeat as often as you like, indefinitely. That, my friend, is a poor man's scheduled task solution.

ILifeMediaBrowser makes Safari and Firefox crash all the time

Hi, Safari keeps crashing on account of iLifeMediaBrowser (which I don't know what it is), and when I tried to switch to Firefox, it did the same.
What is iLifeMediaBrowser and why is it acting out on my computer today?
Please help!
Thanks!

Hi there - sorry for the long delay in responding. I downloaded Camino and this worked fine for a couple of weeks. But then for no apparent reason this stopped working as well, just like Safari and Firefox I just got the spinning ball of death everytime I tried to open any of them. So I had a look at the Lbrary preferencies files that I have been reading about on this site. I deleted a few files and the Safari icons folder, then restarted the G5 and suddenly Safari for the first time in months kicked into life!!!! hurrrray!!! alson Camino began working again but curiously Fire fox still will not. Anyway I am really pleased. Thanks everybody for the help. If it happens again I have an idea now of what to do.
Cheers

I-Pad Mini and Wi-Fi Connection-I-Pad Mini does not connect to the Wi-Fi while IPad and IPhone 5 works in the same location. Then when I go to another location the Ipad Mini works. How can I get Wi-Fi to work all the time like Ipad and Iphone 5?

I-Pad Mini and Wi-Fi Connection. At one location the I-Pad Mini will not connect to wi-fi, while I-Pad and I-Phone 5 works just fine.
Then at another location the I-Pad Mini works just fine. Are there any suggestions anyone can give me to get I-Pad Mini to work everywhere just like I-Pad and I-Phone 5?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

How can I make textedit start with a new (blank) document?

How can I make textedit start with a new (blank) document?
Instead of it starting up with a dialogue box to select an existing or start a new document.

@Alley_Cat thanks for the ideas.
I turned off System Preferences > iCloud > Documents&Data - problem solved.
I'll use DropBox instead - it provides the options for a better experience. I hope Apple keep working on iCloud so that it doesn't go the way of Moble Me.

How can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

how can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

You can by placing a short cut in the windows startup folder, just like any other windows program.
However if you do you are likely to encounter problems as downloading mail while the anti virus is still loading and the network is busy announcing your machines arrival to the network ( which might be a network of one) and any of a dozen other program are loading is fraught with risk of timeouts and server disconnections as well as error messages that make little sense because they are about something that is still loading.
So the bottom line is sure you can, but if there are issues take it back out of there as a first step.

How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server?

How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server when I delete them on my iPad?
Can anyone help me whith this?
I tried to use the pop account in gmail settings but that was downloading all my emails sice 2008 ( more than 300 deleted emails tha can only be found in the deleted email box), when I just have 5 or 6 email in the inbox .
How can I solve this????
Thank u all...

I have the same problem. For years I have been able to delete emails from my ipad and have them remain on the server so I can deal with them on the desktop. Now they get deleted from the server when deleted from the ipad, which makes the ipad unless for reading mail.
You answered to delete the email account on the ipad and set up a new one as a pop. I have made many attempts to do that in the incomping mail server "Host Name" field but it always errors out even when the host name is equal to what my desk top has. So I can see no way to change away from IMAP. I started with an ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2.

How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?

How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?
When I look at some emails on my phone, I can see from the title that I don't need to read the email so I delete it without opening it. When I go to my Macbook Pro and open mail, the number of unread messages in my Trash shows next to the name. It drives me nuts. Can I just set a rule to mark all messages sent to trash as read? If that isn't possible, I'd take just making the number not show beside the Trash folder.

Just in the case that I actually do need to go back to them for some reason. I have some OCD tendencies which is also why the number beside the folder drives me nuts.

How can I make signature darker when I print the report?

I need to put my manager's signature on the report. The signature is too light, How can I make it darker when I print the report?
I used file link and OLE, both did't make it.
Thanks.

No way to do it directly in the report. You need to work with signature image file using any graphic software to increase its contrast. The easiest probably would be to use Paintbrush and change the image to black-and-white, then save back as jpeg file.

Hello.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

How can I make a fade out effect at the end of the song in garageband for iPad?

I want to made this effect but honestly I have no idea about what I have to do. u.u Please help.

GB for iPad doesn't have volume automation, you'd need to import the project into GB on a Mac to create the fade with a volume curve.
as an alt, finish your song and export the audio file, then import the audio file in an audio editor and create a volume fade with that:

How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?

How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?
I need to change the front panel so that it can be used in a dark environment.

Hi
The only way I see, is to use the "Controls[]" property and iterate through all of them. But don't forget about nested elements (i.e. clusters, tab-controls, ...).
