I cannot change the awesomebar default search from yahoo to google

I've tried editing the about:config keyword.url and inserting the google string or by clicking reset - no good. My prefs.js is not set to read only. I am at a loss as to why it refuses to change. If I do get it to search via google briefly, yahoo takes back over again. What can I do?

Thank you, I actually tried this last night prior to receiving your post. When I launched in safe mode with add-ons disabled Google was the default search each time I tried a search. I deduced that it had to be an add-on that utilizes Yahoo search so I launched in regular mode and disabled all of my add-ons, then turning on each one and checking the search function - I found that the culprit was a YouTube downloader add-on. Once enabled, Yahoo took over. Upon disabling it, Google was back.
So that is my solution to the puzzle!
Thank you,
Lou

Cannot change the Canvas Extension Color from "Background" to a color of my choosing. Is this a glitch, or is there some setting that I can change?

It depends on how exactly you are doing it but to change the background, I suggest watch this video:

I cannot remove the mp3tube toolbar search from the navigation bar

I have a toolbar mp3tube that has taken over my searches. It seems to be part of yahoo but I have deleted all and it still comes back. It is making it impossible to use firefox for browsing.

(I posted this elsewhere, but I'm sure nobody minds if I spread the answer around!)
I found the easiest way to fix this! Okay...I first tried going into my Add-On settings, and the only thing it would allow me to do is Disable the toolbar. Not good for me, because the stupid Yahoo! search bar for Mp3Tube was still stuck at the top where my Google one used to be.
Here's how you get rid of it off your computer, even if it sticks around after an uninstall:
1.Open My Computer. 2. At the top-right of the My Computer window, click the Search bar that says 'Search Computer'. 3. Type in 'Mp3Tube' and after a minute it should find a few files and folders (for me there were 5 results). 4. Select them all and press Delete on your keyboard (Right-click > Delete doesn't work, it doesn't show up like normal.) 5. Empty your Recycle Bin and rejoice. :)
This takes out all the files from Firefox and even from your Registry, so it should NEVER bother you again, unless someone stupid uses your computer (like in my case!)

I cannot change the value in about:newtab from "newtab" to "blank." The dialog is displayed but when I click Ok, the value is not changed.

Comment on usual method and solution, by a forum Moderator.
As long as there are no confounding factors, such as certain extensions, or a user.jsfile the procedure is as follows
# Open a new tab and type "about:config" in the address bar.
# In the Search bar type: "newtab"
# Locate and double click "browser.newtab.url"
# In the "Enter String Value" box change "'''about:newtab'''" to "'''about:blank'''" and click OK.
# Verify that the value has changed and now all new tabs will be blank.

Have to say that I rather agree with Mark..all we want is a simple, unadorned clean page that doe not track and show usage!! WHY NOT!! Is it too simple for developers..we aren't all (nor do we want to be!) software experts! Come on Mozilla..tidy up and clean up..it might be a quicker programme too!!

How do I change my default search engine from Yahoo to Google

Safari/Preferences/General. There is a place there to specify your default search engine.

Where is my text box in final cut pro? I cannot change the default text at all?

Hi, as the title says, I use a default final cut pro title or ending for a video and I cannot change the text, all youtube tutorials just show that you click on the text box, the boxes appear, and then to the right in the text window you literally just type and change it, which ive done several times before, but I just got a new mac, and now that is impossible to do, what can I do? I dont want to upload videos that say, TEXT GOES HERE

hey andy,
i think what you're gonna have to do is just hit command 4!
That should bring up the inspector where you can change the font!

I bought an Air from someone and I cannot change the Apple ID in the apple store for the updates... even I am logged in for Itunes... PLEASE help..

Hi guys, finally I made it to the apple family by buying an Air from a guy I knew... But I cannot change the ID in the apple store for updates... I managed to change it in Itunes, but when I want to download the updates it would tell me that I should log in with the other account...
Please advise...
Thank you!!!

The OS and the preinstalled iLife apps are permanently assigned to the Apple ID of the original owner. You need to ask the original owner to call Apple Care and request that the Mac be released from his Apple ID.
The only secure way to use a second hand Mac is to erase the HDD and install a fresh version of OS X.
The only version of OS X that the original owner can pass to you is the version of OS X that came preinstalled on the Mac. The original owner cannot legally pass to you any apps that he bought in the MAS.

Three Numbers questions:how do you change the auto default background or fill color from white to another color to use in multiple succeeding operations? what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percent?

Numbers questioons:
-how do I change the automatic default background fill color so it stays a non white color?
-what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percentage?
-how do I create a signal formula to be sue against an entire column of data (for example, if I wanted to multiply the each cell in the column by the number 10)?
-I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers with header and rows labelled and it contains formulas as well. I now want to create a new 'blank' of this template with same header and row names and formulas, but without the cell entries from my earlier exerciser so I can use again in the future. How do I do this?

Hi Matt,
For short columns, the easiest method is to select the cell containing the formula, then grab the fill handle (small circle at the botom right of the selected cell) and drag down.
For long columns, use either Jerry's suggestion (copy/paste) or Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Copy/Paste:
Select the cell containing the formula. Copy
Select from the cell containing teh formula to the end of the column. Paste.
Fill Down:
After entering the formula, and pressing enter...
Click on the column reference tab to select the whole column.
Command click on each cell above the one containing the formula to remove it from the selection.
When cell with the formula is the top cell in the selection, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Pick whichever is easiest.
Regards,
Barry

How do I change my default Search Engine from Yahoo to Google permanently?

Every time I restart Firefox my search engine reverts back to yahoo, how do I fix this permanently. I only want to use google to search for things it is much more efficient. Is there some firefox connection to yahoo that is causing this?

None of above worked for me.
This did:
"In your address bar, type in: “about:config”
Inside of the filter search box, type in:
browser.search.defaultenginename
Double click that entry (or right click and choose “Modify”) and then type in the name of the search engine you wish to have as the default search engine. It must be one that you already have installed and also make sure you type in the name correctly.
Now if you type in “Yahoo”, restart Firefox and when your browser comes back up you will see the red Yahoo “Y” and Yahoo as your default search engine."
(as found on http://www.searchenginejournal.com/change-your-default-search-engine-in-firefox-google-chrome-ie/24378/)
Since I wanted to be rid of Yahoo and get Google back - in the last part instead of typing "Yahoo" I typed "Google".
That's it.

I have multiple email accounts in my iPhone. Before the 6.0 update... I could select what account to send from. Now it's a default. Do I have to go change the email default everytime I want to send an email from a different account?

I have multiple email accounts in my iPhone 4. Before the 6.0 update... I could select what account to send from each time. Now it's a default. Do I have to go change the email default setting everytime I want to send an email from a different account?

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
Have you tried it without the headphones?

How do i change my default browser from yahoo to safari ?

how do i change my default browser from yahoo to safari ?

You may be mixing two things.
Safari does not really have a home page.
You set your home page on these pref (see pic below). In the pic below my home page is zip, zero, nada.
You set your search engine prefs via the Search option from within Safari preferences.

Change the backend doc type from PR to PO in BADI BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS.

Hi,
We have followed below approach for backend document type determination.
1. A custom function module contains the logic to determine the backend document type of a Shopping cart line item. THis function module, performs many checks and hence cannot be called in any BADI that is executed in Foreground.
2. I am using BADI BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS to change the follow document type by calling the custom function module.
Issue here is, if the backend document type of a line item is Purchase requisition (2) by SAP standard, and if I try to change it to Purchase order, it gives run time error and ends up in creation of Purchase order.
After further investigation I found that this line item (with default backend doc type as 2) has a desired vendor. If we change the desired vendor of this line item to fixed(To Partner function 19 from partner function 39), it allows us to change the doc type from Purchase requisition to purcahse order in BADI BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS.
But changing the partner function is possible only in BBP_DOC_CHANGE BADI, and I cannot call the custom function module there, as it may impact the performance.
Is there any other way, I can change the partner function in any of the BADIs called in background?
Or Is there any way by which I can change the backend document type from PR to PO in BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS?

Hi Parab
if you swaping 39 to 19 viadoc change badi
REQUESTER has a control on Purchase ORDER Vendor and BUYER lost a control so your business has to decide.In this case procurement department lost their control.
Fixed vendors are like inforecord and contract negotiated for best price ..
