How to set up a homepage in safari, Lion OS

For days I've been trying to set up my safari to always open with a specific page, however everytime I clear the history it also wipes my home page. I've tried the preference tab, homepage, etc. but no luck. Am I suppose to check other boxes? Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

It should not wipe out your home page preference if you set it up in Safari>Preferences. There is a Safari forum where those answers may be. Why not go to the source?

  • How to set another search engine in safari?

    hi all
    can anybody tell how to set another search engine than google/yahoo in safari (e.g. Bing)?
    thank you

    At this stage, I don't know of any workarounds (or available plugins) for Safari for Windows 4.0.4 that allow you to put a different search engine option in the search field.
    The workaround I've been using is to pin a Bing window into my Top Sites.
    You can send an enhancement request to Apple about it. Although it doesn't look to be set up for it, if you bring up your Menu Bar and go "Help > Report bugs to Apple", you can use that bug report form to ask for enhancements. I was skeptical about that to begin with, but apparently they check that for feature enhancement requests, according to the following document. (It's mentioned right down the very bottom.)

  • How to set up a language for Safari 4

    Hi I’ve installed Safari 4 on Windows Vista, I have my OS in Spanish but I want to set up Safari in English, how could I do this?

    This is how:
    1. Go to the folder called "en.lproj" (mine in -> C:/Program Files/Safari/Safari.resources/)
    2. Select everything in this folder and copy them all
    3. Go to the folder of the language that you want to change from (e.g. Korean, the folder is ko.lproj)
    4. Replace the contents of this folder with what you've just copied from en.lproj
    5. Restart Safari
    Note: you might want to make a copy of the original language folder to play safe.

  • How to set mozilla firefox homepage for all users in windows 7?

    I want to set same homepage for all users in windows 7.

    You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
    Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • How to set default reminders list in Mountain Lion

    Just found this out and others might find it helpful too.
    If you want to add reminders in Mountain Lion from the date view to a specific list by default, then make sure this list is the first of your lists. You can reorder lists by simply dragging them up or down. Mountain Lion by default seems to add to the first list unless you already selected a list by clicking on it.
    Took me around half an hour to find out but was critical as I want reminders to add new items to my exchange account only as this is the one that syncs with my office outlook and blackberry.

    Thank-you!!! I was trying to figure out how to make a list the default!!!!!

  • How to set MTU lower than 1280 with Lion

    I am trying to set my MTU to 900 in order to play video games on my computer (this has been a known fix for many who have university network) but lion made it so you can't set your MTU to lower than 1280, or at least not easily.
    If you don't know what i'm talking about, under network in system preferences, if you click on ethernet (or wifi) and go to the hardware tab, change it to manual, u will see mtu on the bottom with a (1280-1500).
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply,
    We need to set MTU to below 1280, but its not allow to set below 1280. Any other way will be helpful for us.

  • How to set Top Sites as homepage in Safari 6?

    I'm unable to set Top Sites as my homepage in Safari 6 on Mountain Lion.

    Navigate to the topsite you want to set as your home page then go to Safari > Preferernces > General.
    Click:  Set to Current Page
    You can open new windows and tabs in Top Sites from the pop up menus.
    If you have trouble with that, quit Safari then open the Finder.
    From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy / paste:   ~/Library/Safari
    Click Go then move the TopSites.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.

  • How to set google search language in latest Safari

    There are various posts on how to set the default Google search language for the new unified search bar within Safari. But, those did not help me at all. I'm still having french as default language for Google in Safari. I set my language to english (as wanted) under the mentioned link (http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en)  and saved those settings. I live in the german part of Switzerland (and not in France) and I connect to the internet over my nearby ISP. I even reset Safari completely but still each time I do a search in the unified search bar this google sh... shows up in french. Which I definetly do not want and speak.
    Any help very much appreciated.

    I finally figured it out.
    I had to go to Google France (http://www.google.fr/preferences?hl=en) and set my language to English there. Hopefully I don't have to go to the Chinese page as well and set my language to English there as well. I guess I would be lost again.

  • How to set print scale in Safari 3.1.2?

    When I try to print a web page in Safari, the printer page shows "Scale: 62%" every time. I can manually change it, but I'd prefer the default to be: Scale 100%. It would be a real time saver. I can't figure out how to set a default Scale %. Thanks in advance for an assist.

    No, I'm not printing the same page. I rarely do. However, I visit various web sites and make PDFs or print items of interest. This is part of my work and it would be a huge time saver to be able to set a default scale to 100%. That scale fills the page and it uses more pages, but the type size when using 62% is often too tiny to be useful when it is printed or saved as a PDF file.
