As an US customer, (profile indicates I live in Plano, Texas) ever time I tried to purchase Skype credits by clicking on "Buy Skype credits" within Skype, I am redirected to this Chinese web site:
http://skype.gmw.cn/product/productlist.html
It lists all the prices in RMB. When select any of these, it asks me to enter my bank account in China.
What a joke....
How do people in the US buy Skype credits in US dollars? Is that even possible?

I get redirected to unwanted web sites during searches from the browser ONLY, never from the toolbar. Is this the same malware problem as discribed for redirects from BOTH the browser and the toolbar?

Did you do a malware check?
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

I am still getting redirected to various web sites when using Safari. My PC is not affected but my I phone and I pad are. I have reset my router and changed my admin name and password. I am still being redirected.

Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

Leopard Server redirecting the default web site

Because my company's website and my blog are dynamic I had to use mod_jk in order to redirect to JBoss which means that I cannot access the default Mac OS X Server web site any longer.
In the httpd.conf I added a mod_jk redirection for '/' and '/*'.
Any ideas how I make them appear again under a sub context like '/internal'.
Thanks

Eventually I created an internal web site that would not use mod_jk and so is happily redirecting me to the old, default website. The only thing that was important is to make sure that I removed '*' from the web server aliases.

Hi. I made a new version of my web site in Muse and want to "redirect" my old web site to my new one

Hello. When I launch my new web site, how do I redirect the old "home page" to the new "home page"?
There are photos of my dogs online when you search for "traditional red nose American Pit Bull Terriers".
Would I be able to do a "redirect" from my old males page of say a dog named "Thaylen" to the new "Thaylen" page built by Muse?
I like the fact that Google uses my pictures and do not want them to get use to "a broken link" to a photo they would usually show on a search.
Thank you.

This is not something you would do in Muse, but that needs to be taken care of at the Web Server where you are hosting your website.
You may talk to your old site's host and ask to add redirects to new site's content to avoid landing on broken/outdated pages.
Thanks,
Vikas

Can I avoid being redirected to "mobile" web sites?

Whenever I go on sites like CNN or, lately espn, I am automatically redirected to their mobile site instead. This is not what I want. Can I stop it??

I see the mod's been busy on this thread. I hope we're allowed to post links? Here's your link to the CNN.com non-mobile site:
http://www.CNN.com/index.html
It could be useful if someone would put together a list of links such as this on a website some place for the most popular sites. Or it could be a legitimate iPhone update that people want to be able to disable the auto redirect beause they feel they have enough speed and bandwidth, or otherwise prefer the regular site
I tried using Google to search for the link but wasn't very successful. Why don't you guys post some feedback to your friendly Apple support on the subject?
PS: If your guys are going to charge you for mobile site access, I have a hard time believing they're not going to nickel and dime you for data downloaded for regular sites. Do you have unlimited Internet through your provider? But I guess that's beside the point. Basically, if you don't want to rely on external sources for getting your links, you will have to pay your provider the $36 a year for mobile site access so you can get to the sites you want easily, until Apple upgrades the phone or someone writes an App. Heck, there may be one out there already! You do like your phone otherwise, don't you?

So when they go to www.thedentist.com they end up to www.dentalclinic.com

Your question is probably better to ask in a web design forum since there may be ways having a server do the redirect. Try the Dreamweaver forum...
http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_general
To do it thru the site deisgn you need to use redirect linking, which is probably not looked upon with favor when it comes to SEO

I want to redirect an iWeb web site.

Hello,
I want to be able to use my own name for the site rather then the one that is provided to me when I publish the site. example www.myname.com is this possible? Thank You.

My recommendation would be to go some place like http://www.godaddy.com and register your own domain name. Then you can set up an included feature called "Domain Forwarding" and enter in your iWeb short URL (http://web.mac.com/yourname). Then everyone who types in your new domain name will be forwarded to your iWeb pages automatically.

Single word search term entered into address bar triggers redirect to same web site every time

When I enter a single word into the address bar, I am redirected to www.grindtv.com every single time, no matter what that word is. When I enter more than one word, the browser performs a search properly, according to my config settings. Changing config settings like keyword.url and keyword.enabled do not have any effect on the single word redirect issue.
All plugins and add-ons are disabled while troubleshooting and have no effect.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox (removing personal preferences) with no improvement. I have cleared all history. I have searched all config settings for "grindtv" to no avail.

Check the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page.
You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

Why I am directed to a Taiwanese Web site when buy...

I want to buy additional subscriptions as my exisitng monthly plan minutes are fully consumed in 10 days.
However, when I click on Buying Subscriptions via my account settings or www.skype.com/en/rates/ , it always directs me to a Taiwanese language Website ec.pchome.com. From the gibberish, I could understand that if I am not a Taiwan Resident, I need to submit documents like photocopy of passport etc. and I get lost in further gibberish. Can you please help ?

The reason why you are being redirected to a Taiwanese Skype website is either the creation country of your account is in Taipei, Taiwan or you went to Taiwan and logged in using Taiwan’s IP address. Our partner in Taiwan is detecting your account’s IP address, which is why you have been redirected to our partner’s website.
PC Home is a Skype Partner selling Skype Credits and other Skype Products in Taiwan, to provide you with the best possible service, they handle all your payment and customer support in both English and Traditional Chinese. Hence we have migrated to ensure you get the best support.
To fix this issue for you, contact PC Home via their website, visit: http://skype.pchome.com.tw/cs.jsp or email them at [email protected] for the un-tagging of your account. To have it un-tagged, kindly provide them the following documents:
Copy of their telephone bill/statement showing their new address. Kindly remove any sensitive information before sending.
Proof of Identification with the address included.

Why do I have to use the mobile site to buy Skype ...

Viber, TextNow!, every messaging app lets you use in-app purchasing, WHY DOESN'T SKYPE???? it's LAZY and incomvenient that we're forced to use the website, log in and input all our info. I'm not buying a penny worth of credit until I can use the standard payment method every other app uses.
I feel insulted. It's like they intentionally made it more difficult for loyal Windows phone users.

Did you have an unlimtited data plan before you purchased your Pixi? Verizon told me two different times today that the free hotspot was no longer available unless you had an unlimited data plan BEFORE the July price change.

The charsetalias.properties file is gone in Firefox 4? Most web sites in Hong Kong use the Big5-HKSCS charset but declare the charset as Big5. Without charsetalias.properties, the encoding needs to be manually changed very often when viewing them.

I have been defining Big5 as an alias of Big5-HKSCS in charsetalias.properties. This makes Firefox renders pages declared as "Big5" to be rendered in Big5-HKSCS instead. Big5-HKSCS is a standard published by the Hong Kong government because the Big5 charset does not contain many common Chinese characters used in Hong Kong. However, Big5-HKSCS is just an extension of Big5, so most (if not all) Chinese web sites in Hong Kong using Big5-HKSCS declare their pages to be in Big5 in the <meta> tag.
I am now trying out Firefox 4 RC and found that the charsetalias.properties file is no longer there. So in order to read pages containing characters that are in Big5-HKSCS but not in Big5, I need to switch the encoding manually. This is extremely inconvenient. Can you consider bringing charsetalias.properties back?
[http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.i18n/browse_thread/thread/415caa98a6246a00 Someone noticed this issue as well.]

Here's the script I was working on.
It determines the encoding of the site by checking a couple of different ways the meta tag can supply encodings. One way is to have a charset attribute on a meta tag, and the other way is to have a meta tag with http-equiv="content-type" and have charset= be part of the content attribute.
(note: I think [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.characterSet document.characterSet()] might be a far more reliable way to detect encoding since it doesn't depend on the specific way the meta tag was written. But I haven't tested it.)
Debugging messages showed that it could detect the specified encodings fine on the few test pages I was trying it on. The problem is in the way I change the encoding.
It currently uses .setAttribute to attempt to modify the meta tags once it finds the encodings. Unfortunately, this doesn't change the selected encoding in Firefox. It doesn't affect the page source, either.
I have to replace those setAttribute calls with something that will actually affect the selected encoding in Firefox.... but I'm not sure what would accomplish that.
http://pastebin.com/Yt7fygXe
Just a little warning, it's case- and whitespace-sensitive because I didn't get around to using regular expressions yet. So if a page says charset="BIG5", you'll probably need to make it uppercase in the script as well. Sorry, I'm lazy!
Nonetheless, I ''hope'' this is a start...

Unwanted web sites display

When searching for a specific web site with Google, Firefox redirects to unwanted web sites. These web sites are usual "junk" web sites that have nothing to do with the search we are conducting. We have the latest version of Mozilla and have tried everything to prevent unwanted web sites from displaying. For example, if I enter "Monster.com" in the Google search form, the Firefox redirects to "nfeed.com". Several other web pages will also try to be displayed and eventually Firefox crashes. We have un-installed Firefox and then did a re-install several times now. We also have the latest Internet Explorer but we do not encounter these redirect issues when using IE.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== updated to Firefox 3.6

When buying on line my macbook pro will not let me go to the payment page of the web site

When purchasing goods over the internet my MacBook Pro will not allow me to go beyond the payment page therefore I am unable to complete my purchase. If I use a Windows operated PC in the same household I do not have this problem.
Are there any security settings on my MacBook preventing me going any further?

Your MBP will let you do everything. What you haven't told us is what browser, what prompt comes up when you select pay, and does this happen on every web site you buy stuff on.
