I accidentally changed my settings so another website is opened when I open a new tab; how do I get it back to the default quick links on a new tab?

The site that is shown is Ask.com, and it changed because when I downloaded iLivid installer I didn't uncheck the boxes that asked me if I wanted to make this change.

I'll list out the steps, but please note that any Ask-related extensions still in Firefox can override your preference, so you might want to check for and either disable or remove any such extension here first:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Here is how you can set/reset what appears on a new tab:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) To get the page thumbnails, right-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and choose Reset
(4) For other choices, double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
''(i) Blank tab''
about:blank
''(ii) Built-in Firefox home page''
about:home
''(iii) Any other page''
full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

The + sign at the end of the tabs no longer takes me to the last current tabs or websites it instead takes me to google search. How do i get it back to my last tab for the website I visited?

I used to get the last websites or my frequent websites I visited when I clicked on the + sign at the end of the tab bar.. Now all I get is a google search page.. How do i get it back to the other way it was?

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

Please help I just accidentally deleted a very very important note from my "Notes" on my iPhone 4s. How can I get it back? Is there a "Trash" file somewhere for deleted notes? Thank you, Susan

Had you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

I've just found the keyboard shortcut in Garageband for 'copy region' had changed from cmdC to ctrlC. I went to Preferences and clicked Restore Defaults for shortcuts. Now its altC . How can I get it back to the original commands.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

The option to change my current page to my start page under TOOLS/OPTIONS is gone. How do I get it back?

I updated Adobe and Media PLayer, making sure I didn't allow any of the optional add-on tool bars and anti -virus apps. Then after that YAHOO became my start page. I went to change it back under TOOLS/OPTIONS, and the entire option for making the current page my home page is wiped out, not there, doesn't exist. Where did it go and how do I get it back? I run a sales business online and need to hit the HOME key all day long to watch for orders.

Hi JoeSeadog, extensions can modify the dialog. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if obviously badware/useless, remove.)
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?

It keeps changing the browser window, some programs in one window, others in another. How do I get everything back on the same window? I want this disabled but not sure how to do it, or how I even got it started.

I'm not even sure what to call this or how it got started on my computer. There is one finder window for firefox, and another for other programs etc. I want them all back in the same finder window, please! What feature is this which got things split up, and how do I disable it?
I am using an iMac with OS 10.6.3
Thank you.

The Get Info. fields show up gray if the files is locked and iTunes knows it can't edit the file. Make sure the files are not marked as read only and, if necessary grant both your account and system full access to all files and subfolders of your media folder.
You can set Part of a Compilation for multiple tracks from the Options tab of Get Info.
See Grouping tracks into albums for tips on getting iTunes organized.

Firefox 8 changed how "open all in tabs" works for bookmarks. How do I get it back to the way it worked in FF7?

In fFF7, right clicking a bookmarks folder displayed a menu with "Open all in tabs" as the first item. Selecting this option closed all other tabs, then opened the group in new tabs. This changed in FF8--now the group is opened in tabs adjacent to the already opened tabs. How do I get it to act like it did in FF7 (and before) where the open tabs where closed before opening the new folder?
Thanks

So your advice for a feature that worked fine, was intuitive, and we want, but was removed from Firefox, is to add an extension? That's not helpful.

Hey TBL64,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. I found the following information that should help you out:
...to restore from an iCloud backup, erase your device (by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). When prompted to set up as new or to restore from previous backup, select Restore from iCloud Backup. Enter your AppleID and password when prompted.

I have accidentally change my "Apple start-page" to one that does not have "search" window. How do I get back to my original Safari start up page?

When I am in safari and go to a site, I now do not have a place to "search". I accidently lost the original page that appears when going to safari. How do I get back to my original "start-page" that I started with?

I think you may mean the search box on the toolbar. In Safari click on the View menu and select Show Toolbar.
Alternatively, if you mean the 'Home Page' then open Safari -> Preferences -> General and next to 'Homepage' put in the address of the page you want - I'm guessing "http://www.google.com/".
