How to save a website shortcut to the desktop

In Microsoft IE you simply go to File and Send "shortcut to desktop." How can I do this in Firefox?

See the [[creating a desktop shortcut to a web page]] article for how to do this in Firefox.
There are some extensions that can assist with this, such as:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/66/ deskCut]
* [http://www.pikey.me.uk/mozilla/?addon=cs Create Shortcut]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14019/ SaveLink]

How do I CREATE A SHORTCUT ON THE DESKTOP?

New to the Apple family. Always have been a PC person. Just got fed up.. Would like to find out how to cut and paste with the mouse and also my main question is not knowing how to set up a shortcut on the Desktop for faster internet access to certain specified sites.... Thank you for any help you may be able to provide. I signed up for one on one training.... I hope it wasn't a waste of money.
Make it a great week,
JO

Hi there
This post may be under the wrong section, if you are a new Mac user, then you most likely have an Intel based Mac, not a PPC. And also, you may want to not write IN CAPS as it usually indicates yelling in a forum environment
1. You cannot Cut & Paste on a Mac, you may Copy & Paste, if you want to Cut & Paste (CMD + X) you can download MoveAddict from the Mac App Store.
2. EDIT: Sorry, I thought you meant Application shortcut - do what he said \/ \/ \/
Hope that helps

How do you add a shortcut to the desktop with ios5?

Thanks to Itunes helpfully corrupting my Ipad backup and crashing the upgrade to ios5.1 (or whatever) this morning, I've had to completely rebuild my ipad from scratch. Thanks, I didn't have anything better to do today than try to get all my apps and things set up the way I like again! And, I didn't have any important data or anything... what the ****, if an update can wipe the ipad AND corrupt the backup, there is a serious problem with this whole thing!
Anyway, does anyone know how to get a bookmark to a webpage on the desktop? It used to be that you could click the little "plus" button and just select to put the shortcut on the desktop, but you can't do that anymore, and none of my searches have come up with anything that isn't referring to pre-ios5 versions of safari on the ipad...
Thanks!

It is totally weird that you no longer have that feature in the Safari app. Have you tried the basics, restart, reset, quit the app, clear Safari.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit Safarai and restart - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
I have seen some of the most bizarre, off the wall, mysterious issues on my iPad since I updated that it has me totally mystified in many ways. Very, very disappointing to say the least.

How do I always show a Firefox icon when dragging a URL shortcut to the desktop?

Win 7 Pro 64
When dragging a URL shortcut to the desktop, I sometimes get the websites favicon regardless if the site has a favicon or not.
How do I always show a Firefox icon when dragging a URL shortcut to the desktop?
Thank you

LIke many others, I had the same problem with v.26. I had a whole slew of URL shortcuts that the icons went to blank white squares. Here is what I did to fix: First I put them all in a folder to make sure there weren't any left on the desktop.
Next, I opened that folder, went to the first shortcut and double clicked it to open the web page. When it opened, I used the mouse to drag the URL onto the desktop creating a new shortcut. Again the white square icon resulted.
So I right clicked the shortcut, clicked on "Properties" and under the "Web Document" tab, clicked "Change Icon". A new pop-up window opens that attempts to find a new icon in the windows shell files.
I instead clicked "Browse" and inserted the directory path to the Firefox program file:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
SIX icons were shown, the top left being the familiar white square with the Firefox logo, which I selected, then clicked my way back out on the "OK" buttons.
NOW, I opened each URL link in the folder, and once opened in a new browser window, dragged the URL's to the desktop and NOW Firefox assigned each one the new correct icon automatically. Once done with all the shortcuts, I deleted the old ones from the folder and the folder itself. End of problem. Now when I save new shortcuts by dragging URL's to the desktop it saves them correctly.

How to change the icon for a shortcut on the desktop

I created a shortcut on the Desktop (dragging a safari url-icon to the desktop) but the icon showing is a safari icon.
The website has a specific icon, as displayed as the first item (icon) on the url bar in front of the website-URL.
I located the specific icon on the website (favicon.ico), opened it and copied the icon (copy paste).
Then I opened the properties screen for my shortcut (at the Desktop) (control click on link) .
Now I am supposed to copy the new icon (from my Clipboard) into the properties of the Desktop URL, but how do I do that?

You can change the favicon for a folder but not a specific Safari url.
Click a clear space on your desktop then go to the Finder menu and click File > New Folder
Move Safari url shortcuts to that folder.
Then copy and paste the icon for the folder.

How do I remove a shortcut from the Home Screen of...

How do I remove a shortcut from the Home Screen of a Nokia 700? I'm a bit clumpsy with the touch screen and I keep adding shortcuts for everyrhing. It's easy enough (too easy) to add them, but how can I remove/delete them? There doesn't seem to be any option to deleting them and it's not mentioned in the manual.
Solved!

It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences

how to save an audio book to the cloud

The simple answer is if you want to copy an audiobook to the cloud, simply put it in Dropbox or some other online storage service. But what exactly do you want to do with it? Do you just want to store it there or listen to it?

How can I use applet to get the desktop image of client

hi,I have a question to ask u.
How can I use applet to get the desktop image of client? Now I develop a web application and want user in the client to get his current image of the screen.And then save as a picture of jpeg format ,then upload it to the server?
I have done an application to get the screen image and do upload file to server in a servlet with the http protocal.

Since the desktop image is on the client's local hard drive, you'll need to look at trusted applets first.

With FireFox as my default browser, I create a shortcut on the desktop as per instructions in 'help' but when I click on the shortcut it opens in a browser which is not even running.

Make absolutely certain that FireFox is designated as your default browser.
Do this: Tools / Options / Advanced / Check Now / correct the setting
OR right click on any shortcut icon / Open With / Choose Default Program / select desired Browser / check Always... box / OK

HT2491 how to show macintosh hard drive on the desktop

how to show macintosh hard drive on the desktop in apple macbook pro,n how can i install my canon scaner with printer on mac,i am new user,regards,dr.m.imran

Thank you for these directions. I just created a new user account and couldn't believe the hard drive was not viewable on the desktop. It seems by default the hard drive should always be viewable on the desktop. By having absolutely nothing on the desktop when making a new user I was freaking out thinking my Mac had a bug after the OS updates.
Thank you for the directions on how to show the hard drive on a new user's desktop.

How to save a pages document on the ipad2

How do I save a pages document on the ipad2 or how do I print a pages document. I have a n epson835 on a wireless network. I can scan or print a web page from the ipad, but I cannot print from pages. The instruction seems to require saving the pages document, but all I can do is share the document via several methods.
Thank you
John McDonald

Tap on the Spanner icon, tap on Share and Print, Tap on Print.
You will also need to have an Air-Print enabled printer and both the printer and ipad must be connected to the same network. If your printer isn`t Air-Print enabled then there is a work-a-round but you will have to use google to obtain the files and instructions, do a search on google for Air-Print for PC or Air-Print for Mac.
To save a document in Pages for iPad just tap on Documents to take you back to your list of documents and the one you are currently working on will automatically save, you can then tap on the documents name to change it.

No offense intended ..... I just give up ... That's all ...... Learning Apple specifics sometimes (most times) not worth the effort ..... Also ....

I am glad this forum is here though ..

How to save your website without..

I was wondering how to save your data to be always available, without using Muse. I mean after the trail period or month subscription ends, that you still can open or upload it without Muse. Like that you have an backup.

As RoyaltyTech pointed out - yes, you can File>ExportHTML to have the HTML, CSS and image files all brought together in one place and upload them without an subscription or after the trial period is over.
However, as a precauction, as you mentioned "without using Muse" and "still can open...it without Muse" I thought it would be prudent to point out that WITHOUT the orginal artwork / .muse file and the Muse software, you will not be able to open and edit your site later on without a current subscription.
