I have my home page set. What I need to find out how to set it so that every tab I open, it opens to my home page instead of a blank tab/page.

I use Firefox at work. We have a standard home page we use. In IE all my new pages open at our home page. With Firefox I have my home page set, but all new windows I open, open as a blank tab/blank page. I want to have all my new windows/tabs to open to my home page.

You can always just middle-click or ctrl+click on the home button to open it in a new tab.
For exactly what you're asking for, there's an addon for that:

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues). And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

I need to find out how much wifi data my apps are using. I have a very limited amount of wifi data, and I am exceeding my monthly allowance. Apparently, even apps I think are not open are sending/receiving data through the wifi and using up my allowance.

I need to find out how much wifi data my apps are using. I am on a very limited amount of WiFi data each month, which I am regularly exceeding. I have been told to work out which of my apps is using the data. Also, I think I have closed an app by double clicking the home button, then swiping the app up - is this the way to close it, or will it still be sending/receiving data?

Go into your Settings : General : and turn off background refresh for your apps. In Settings : Mail turn Fetch new data to OFF and Load Remote Images to OFF. This will mean that Mail will only check for messages when you actually use it, and all your advertising junk mail won't have all the images in it.
Turn off push notifications every chance you get.
Make sure you are actually quitting apps: to quit apps press the Home button twice and you should see a bunch of smaller screen images for every open app. To quit the app swipe from the screen image (not the icon) upward off the top of the iPad. You can swipe left and right to see more open apps, but there must be no left-right movement on the screen when you swipe upward to close the app.
Turn off your internet connection when you do not need it. The easiest way to do this is to swipe up from the bottom of you screen to get the control centre, and then touch the airplane to turn on airplane mode. You can repeat this sequence to turn it back on again when you need it. Most especially turn airplane mode on whenever you are sleeping your iPad for long periods. This will save battery life too. OR actually turn your iPad off - which means holding the power key down for several seconds until the red swipe bar appears, and then swipe to turn it off. If you go this route, note that it will take longer to turn on then it takes to wake from sleep.

I have had Adobe XI for about two years and My harddrive just crashed. My backups were part of the failure so I can't get it back. I purchased it from a third part supplier and it was a download. I need to find out how to get it restored. I can send screen shots of all of the drive location where the drive is still good and I can see my Adobe Acrobat pro information, but the download itself is missing. NEXT STEP?

If you are talking about Reader (you did post in the Reader forum), then just download http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise. However Reader is free not purchasable. You can download a trial then install using your serial number, which if you didn’t register or write down somewhere you will be out of luck to track down.

Need help with getting images to look smooth (without the bitmap squares) around the edges. When I transfer the image from pictures, it sets itself into the InDesign layout, but with square edges. I need to find out how to get it to look smooth?

Need to find out how to get my images transferred into an InDesign layout without the rough edges, as with a bit map image, but to appear with smooth edges in the layout. I can notice it more when I enlarge the file (pic). How can I get it to appear smooth in the finished layout. Another thing too that I noticed; it seems to have effected the other photos in the layout. They seem to be
pixelated too after I import the illustration (hand drawn artwork...)? Any assistance with this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No Clipboard, no copy & paste, as you would not get the full information of the image.
When you paste you can't get the image info from the Links panel, but you can get resolution and color info either via the Preflight panel or by exporting to PDF and checking the image in Acrobat.
Here I've pasted a 300ppi image, scaled it, and made a Preflight rule that catches any image under 1200ppi. The panel gives me the effective resolution of the pasted image as 556ppi. There are other workflow reasons not to paste—you loose the ability to easily edit the original and large file sizes—but pasting wouldn't cause a loss in effective resolution or change in color mode.

How did you contact iTunes support, and you've checked your spam as well as your Inbox ?
If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

I have an old TC (500GB) and I need to find out what's on it.

Currently I have a 2TB TC backing up my iMac. I have an older, smaller TC (500GB) that I think came from a previous HD failure on an older iMac, and I think any info was migrated to a new HD. If I unplug the current TC and plug in the older one, will I see what's on it? If so, and it's contents have already been transferred (which is why I want to see), how can I wipe the TC clean to use as storage? If the data from this old TC was migrated to a new HD, would the old TC be wiped clean? This was done at the Apple store. Am I clear on this? I'm concerned the small TC will begin a backup of my iMac , which isn't my purpose, as I'm looking to start over with this smaller TC. I was unable to find a discussion which answers this. Thanks.

Let me answer the last bit first.
I'm concerned the small TC will begin a backup of my iMac
A TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in an airport router.. it will do nothing.. it will sit on the network and do nothing at all. All smarts for backup are Time Machine which is software on the computer.. and TM will not start doing new backups unless you tell it.
If I unplug the current TC and plug in the older one, will I see what's on it?
Yes.
Unplug a computer from the network.. your imac.. !! And plug in the old TC. LAN to LAN port.
Do a factory reset of the TC if the computer cannot then access the TC.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
If the data you are trying to find is in TM backup it is not easy to find out what you are missing.
Please follow the instructions here.

If the data from this old TC was migrated to a new HD, would the old TC be wiped clean?
The apple store will not wipe the old TC .. or at least that would not be good practice. It is your data and your job to keep or delete it.
If you want to wipe the TC open the airport utility and go to the disk tab and select erase.. if you are keeping the TC for yourself.. just do a quick erase.. takes a minute or two.. if you want to sell it then do a one pass erase which will take a few hours.
If you want to use the old TC .. remember it is now 4 years old.. maybe nearer 5years.. it has done its time.. it will die shortly.. suddenly and without recourse. If you put info on it you need.. you will regret it.

My MacBook is not communicating with my desk top to enable printing from my MacBook. I need to find out how to make that happen. I have a static IP address on my desktop but don't know what to do on the Mac Book.

My MacBook is not connecting to the host computer for the printer. The host computer has a static IP address which is different from the IP address that the laptop is looking for. How do I change the laptop so that it looks for the host computer's correct IP? The laptop is connected to the router. I know this because I can get on the internet with the laptop.

The host computer is Dell and the operating system is Windows 7. The printer is an Epson, and it is wired to the host computer with a USB cable. It does have host printing turned on.
The three have been working harmoniously for a long time. The router had to be reset; and after that, the MacBook documents would no longer print.
We created a new static IP address on the Dell but the MacBook is not recognizing it. We have researched the internet trying to figure out how to make the MacBook locate and recognize the correct IP address from the Dell so they can communicate with each other. The laptop is not communicating with the host computer because is is looking for the wrong IP. The host IP is 192.168.1.245 and the laptop is looking for 192.168.15.237.
I hope everything is clear. The person who originally set it up is no longer available to help me. Thank you for any help you may give me.

Can not find out how to set size of photos

Hi
I have iPad 1 and iPad 3 and iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S and ATV
bur I can not set the proper size for photos.
My TV-set is of course 16:9 and ATV sends photos OK to screen
but I have to resize them in iPhoto or PhotoShop.
I have also an 6 year old Canon camera and there is the possibility to take 16:9 photos (still) direct
Anyone know how to set iPhone to shoot 16:9 stills.
I do not belive Apple have missed something important as this.
Everyone must have a 16:9 TV-set today.
Perhaps anyone know about an app as does this?

Hi,

I need to find out how to re-set icloud id on my iphone. I already had an apple id which is a family id. I used it as my id when setting up my new company phone. I have new apple id but can't change icloud phone. Still recognizes old id.

I have a new company iphone. When setting it up I used a current "family" apple id I created for the children's itouch's. I realized after the fact that all of their contact/content dat is syncing to my business phone. I created a new apple id for the phone,logged out of the old id and in with the new on my phone. However, it will not allow me to make this same change for icloud on the phone. The icloud is still associated to the old id. How can I change my phone icloud to sync with my new apple id and stop getting the kids content?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

HT5312 how or where do i go to to find out how to set a rescue email so i can reset my security questions

i forgot the answers to my security questions for my itunes account on my computer and now i can buy anything
can somone just tell me how to do the rescue email I read the thing that itunes sent to my but does not tell you how to to set a rescue email can anyone help!

Go back to the article you asked this question from and use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section. If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, you can't reset the questions yourself, and nobody on these boards can reset them for you.
Setting up a rescue email address requires correctly answering two of the questions.
