I cannot set my igoogle page as my home page using a new MacBook Air with the latest verion of the Mac OS and Firefox.

I have a new MacBook Air with the latest Mac OS and I down loaded the latest version of Firefox from your web site. I am trying to set my igoogle page as my home page. I log into my igoogle home page and then go to the Preferences option on the Firefox menu. I click the option to use the current page as my home page. As long as I am logged into Firefox it takes me back to my igoogle home page when I click on the Home icon. If I log out of Firefox and open it again later in the day it takes me to the igoogle log in page but not my home page. I have a Mac at home and do not have this problem and I do not have this problem with my PC at the office.
Any ideas?

  • When I login to my bank, I get the message: 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied. Have new MacBook Air with Yosemite. How to solve this problem?

    When I try to login to the website of my bank, I get the following error message:
    403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
    You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
    I have a new MacBook Air with OS Yosemite installed.
    What is the problem and how can I solve it?

    Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
    Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
    The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
    Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
    The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

  • How do I set up home sharing on my new macBook Air 11" I want to access my itunes from my home iMac on my Macbook Air?

    I've set up to share my itunes on my iMac and on my new MacBook Air 11" but there dont seem to be any files I can view or access?
    On my music it says "Go to itunes store" or "Scan for Media"
    Does anyone know how to set it up?
    Many thanks

    Once your in iTunes click the dropdown menu below the play button if one option is home sharing click home sharing and sign in with your apple id if you don't have home sharing follow these steps:
    1) Go to iTunes
    2) Click file (which is on the menu bar)
    3) Hover your mouse over the place where it says home sharing
    4) If you hover your mouse over home sharing you should see it says turn on home sharing click it
    5) Now sign in with your apple id
    Now have enabled home sharing on your mac.

  • I have numerous documents in PAGES2009 which I cannot open on my new Macbook Air with latest iWork programs.  Is there a "fix" or do I need to buy iWork 2009 (or at least PAGES2009) to be able to open my old documents?

    Can current PAGES be used to open documents created in PAGES2009?

    Yes with some caveats, but probably your documents are actually Pages '08 format which Pages 5.2 can not open.
    You need to open them in Pages '09 or export them from Pages '08 to Word .doc/docx.
    If you had iWork '09 before are you sure you don't still have it in your Applications/iWork folder?
    You are aware that Pages 5.2 is a lobotomised version, missing over 110 features?

  • New MacBook Air does not read Pages properly

    I migrated my old MacBook Air (2 years old) to my new MacBook Air (one month old) transferring Pages application and many documents in Pages, which I use to edit a magazine.
    At first my new MBA refused to open any Pages documents, so I re-installed iWork from CD (using Remote Disc from my iMac). Now my new MBA does open Pages documents, but with disrespect for fonts:
    - what was in bold appears in regular font
    - what was in italics appears either in regular font or bold+italics
    This is a complete disaster as it means I cannot work in the magazine when I travel with my MBA. Plus, I have already given away my old MBA to a friend!
    Can anybody help?
    Thank you !

    Did you moved the folder
    Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:iWork '09:
    from the old machine to the new one ?
    This folder contain a lot of required items.
    Without them, iWork's applications can't work.
    Don't forget that the license clearly state that *_you must remove the app from the old machine_*

  • I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

    I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

    Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

    Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

  • New MacBook Air: Safari can't open the page because the server where this page is located isn't responding

    Hi there,
    I purchased a new MacBook Air on Sunday and am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.
    Unfortunately since then I am having problems with connectivity with certain websites.  It is not just a problem with my MacBook Air, because I also have a MacBook and an iPhone which won't let me access those websites either with this network.  I haven't tried to access them from any other locations but I mainly use my devices at home so want to get this fixed.  I believe that it is a problem with my connection not the devices as other websites such as this, Facebook, twitter, google, etc all work fine.
    I have checked on http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it's just me!
    If relevant, the certain websites are futurelearn.com as well as bluehost.com and sites that run through bluehost.  I had problems with Bluehost not loading yesterday but Futurelearn was working absolutely fine yesterday - today I cannot access it at all.
    Not sure what to do! Please help!
    Thanks in advance.

    Restart your internet modem and router then try Safari.
    And check the firewall. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall.
    If it's on, click Firewall Options
    You may need to click the padlock icon bottom left side of the Firewall tab to proceed.
    If restarting the modem and router don't help, try this DNS server.
    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
    Click + and type:
    208.67.222.222
    Click + again and do the same.
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

  • We have an older IMac (preIcloud) and just purchased a new Macbook Air. Our Iphones are set-up to synch with the IMAC and my calendars on the IMac & the phone look the same. But when I open ICal on the MacBook Air my calendar is missing items? Help..

    Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?

  • When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

    When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.

    You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
    Disable 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.
    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.
    Does that flush the tab?
    Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

    Those choices are controlled via System Preferences, Trackpad.

  • How do I get my Pages '09 (that I paid for in App store) into my new Macbook Air (as it's no longer available)?

    I canot use the "new" Pages 5 for the raft of reasons poiinted out in these forums. I need a robust, full-powered word processor on my robust, full powered MAC.
    I bought Pages '09 from the APP Store long ago for my old Macbook Air.
    I upgraded to Mavricks on my old Macbook Air and see I still have the "old" Pages '09 app in my Applications directory.
    Now I have a new Macbook Air I just bought on its way to me now.
    Can I just copy the app from the file right over--or will it fial to run as it was not "installed" properly?
    HOW DO I GET PAGES '09 onto my NEW Mac?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    If that doesn't work you can use Migration Assistant - of course that will move all the application to the new computer.
