How to stop google from defaulting to mobile view?

how do I stop google from opening up in a mobile view? It only happens when I use firefox.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How to stop Chrome from defaulting from Mail?

How do I stop Chrome from defaulting as the browser when I click on a link in Mail. I have opened Safari and changed the default browser several times to Safari and then closed it and even restarted. However, everytime I click on a link in Mail it opens in Chrome and when I get into Safari agian the default is back to Chrome!
Any ideas?

First, check Users & Groups preferences by clicking on the Login Items button. If you see Chrome in the list, then select it and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. If it isn't there then shutdown or restart the computer. A dialog should appear:
Uncheck the Reopen option.

How to stop Google from making site the top search result

I created a website for a clinic that's part of a large hospital. Unfortunately when someone googles the name of the large hospital, the clinic's website with address, map and phone number, comes up first on the search results. So the poor clinic receptionist is fielding a lot of phone calls from people thinking the clinic's number is the hospital's general phone number.
So first I removed the name of the hospital (except in an image) from the home page, and took the hospital name out of the address text. I tried using Google's URL removal tool to tell them to stop using the clinic website for the hospital name search. But each request there is marked denied after a few days. Even tried the Google option to have them reindex the site. So far nothing has worked, and it's been a month.
So does anyone have any other ideas to try and get Google to de-rank or remove the clinic site from the hospital name search results?

Thanks for the robot.txt idea. I didn't know about that.
It seems that won't work though, as I still want all pages to be indexed so people can find the site when they are looking for just the clinic. It's just stopping the query for the hospital from returning the site.
But I've now noticed that the actual site link is further down the search results, but the tiny map and address that show up at the top of the query ( i.e. when you search for a business) is being taken from the clinic address and website.
I'm wondering if it's because I used the Google Map widget in the website. I'm going to try and replace the map widget with a gif of the map and see if that helps. Open to other ideas here too.

As a note, you can double tap the Home button and select the iPod app as that is what I'm doing now. It's not intuitive and you would think if you select Done you'd go back to the folder list in the iPod app.

How to stop Lion from defaulting to iTunes at startup

When starting up by MBP 17 the defaut window is iTunes. When I shut down I have Safari, Mail and iTunes open and select "Reopen windows when lobbing back in" when shuting down. I'd rather Safari be the default open window. Also Safari, Mail and iTunes are all in full screen mode.
Any ideas on how to get Safari as the default startup window?
Thanks,
BobM

How to stop aperture from looking for mobile me?

I can't access the preferences. It is stuck on Web and keeps looking for mobile me galleries eventhough I've disabled mobile me under File > Web Accounts. I've also disabled Facebook... I can't deselct the automatically check for albums check box.... I just get a spinning wheel and can't select any other preference tabs.

There are 10-15 threads here in this forum with solutions for this... have a read.

Safari w/ Yosemite: How to Stop Webpages from Displaying in Mobile Friendly Format?

My Mac is displaying webpages as if I were visiting on my iPhone 6. Is there a way to direct the browser to display the standard site?
This limits my accessibility quite a bit and the only thing I've found to solve the problem so far is erasing the history. Not a BIG deal, but I would like to find another solution if possible.
MY STATS:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
Safari 8.0.2 (10600.2.5)
iPhone 6
iOS 8.1.2 (12B440)
I use my AppleID to connect both devices and also use Continuity between them.
Thanks in advance for your help!
- Tison

    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Develop > User Agent > Safari 8.0.2 or Other.....

Final cut 7 - how to stop video from moving around in viewer?

Hi Guys
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
In FCP7 the diagonal crosshair 'X' (I don't want to see this X) has appeared in my viewer over the video clip I wish to drag onto my timeline.
However, after setting my in and out points as normal, when I try to drag it down, the video moves in the viewer (revealing black space).
My question is, how can I somehow 'reset' the video in the viewer window back to its locked, original position, so I can drag it down onto my timeline as I used to?

Thanks David, I appreciate it.
I also realised I had inadvertently changed the 'center' and 'scale' figures! So by resetting to zero the picture locked back in place.

How do i stop google from tracking me and storing their cookies? Running OSX 10.7.5 & Safari v6.02 on Macbook Air.?

In practicality you can't. You can set the preference in the Privacy pane of the Safari preferences to ask websites not to track you, but I don't believe Google honors that setting, and they most certainly store all sorts of cookies which you probably will get even if you set Safari to block all cookies since web programmers have ways around those blocks. All you can do is delete the cookies and other junk on a regular basis. Many cookies hide, so I use Cookie from SweetP productions which does a good job of deleting most if not all of the cruft web sites leave.

How can I stop Finder from defaulting to All Files in 10.8.2?

How can I stop Finder from defaulting to All Files in 10.8.2? Thanks.

I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling, but it is no longer installed as an add-on

I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling the add on and plug in, but it is no longer installed as an add-on or plug in. How do I get the "new tab" request to simply open with a blank address in the address box instead of www.imesh.com.

Ok, I finally managed to get rid of it.
First I did the thing with the about:config but I flitered for imesh instead and managed to reset two thing but when I got to the keyword.URL I got the same thing as lolbabe98 did with the "An attempt to change your search engine or homepage was blocked."
Then I did a search on my C: drive for iMesh and discovered some things that hadn't been removed even though I had unistalled both the toolbar and the actual program. After that it worked fine and I now have a regular "untitled" tab when I open a new tab.
One last thing, when I tried to remove some of the files there was one that said it was in use, it was called datamanagerUI or something rather. The only thing I had to do there was to open Task Manager and kill a process called DATAMN~1 and I was able to remove it. Hope this helps.

How to stop Firefox from checking for add-on compatibility every time it opens?

How to stop Firefox from checking for add-on compatibility every time it opens?

That can be a problem with the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder.
Try to rename (or delete) the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder to see if that helps.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can also check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

How to stop Indesign from reverting to picas

No matter how many times I set up a workspace (which sometimes it erases) I can not stop Indesign from defaulting to picas. It is the most annoying and ridiculously simple thing that having a workspace should solve. Yes, my workspace was set up correctly. This is a problem that goes way back to like CS3.
How do I get it to stop. Ultimately, I don't want to even have the option for picas.

Thanks! I just changed that. Now I will see how long it holds because over the course of time my workspaces disappeared, as well as my preference settings. I catch it mostly with typographer's quote marks. They convert to inch marks and then I have to start all over.
Thanks so much, I will add another reply if it holds up.

I find very annoying that, although the cursor is flashing in the serch box, unless that box has been clicked in to enable it, typing goes to the nearest topic in the bookmark list. how to stop it from happening?

i use Google home page as my firefox home page. often i find that although the cursor is flashing in the serch box, unless that box has been clicked in to enable it, typing goes to the nearest topic in the bookmark list instead of accepting the typing. how to stop it from happening? why not stop the cursor from appearing in the search box unless you have clicked in it?

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.
