I want Google to be the browser that Firefox initially sends me to, but I cant seem to change from Bing successfully; any advice?

Right now, when I open Mozilla Firefox, I'm brought to Bing. I'd rather that Google be the browser I'm brought to initially. I think this might be called my "homepage". I don't know how to change from Bing to Google, and I've tried several different ways. Please and thank-you in advance for any assistance y'all can provide me with so that I can accomplish this goal.
Respectfully Submitted,
Daniel Juhasz

Did you actually try changing the homepage? Not sure what the Vista version looks like, but on XP you can find it under Tools, Settings, General.

I am using a WD My Passport Studio external hard drive as a Time Machine. I get the error that a back up folder could not be created when my iMac has been asleep, any advice.

I am using a WD My Passport Studio external hard drive as a Time Machine. I get the error that a back up folder could not be created when my iMac has been asleep, any advice. The hard drive is set set not to go to sleep.

Were you not plugged in via USB to begin with?
I would recommend performing some resets just to be on the safe side. Unplug the external HD, and try these steps:

Messenger and other applications do not recognized the numbers that are on my contacts. Instead of showing names, they only show numbers. Any advice?

When someone in my contact list calls or texts me, the phone does not recognize and shows the name, but only the number as if the person that is calling me is not on my contacts. Any advice?

Found the fix, as this happened to me this morning...

If you're on Verizon, you can
ignore all the BS at the beginning, and under Additional Information, follow these steps:
If you are using using Verizon as your provider and iPhone displays the ten-digit number instead of the name of the other party, please follow these steps:
Dial *228 from your iPhone.
When prompted, select option 1.
When complete, you will hear a confirmation message.
Force the Contacts, Messages, and Phone applications to close using the following steps:
Ensure that you have recently opened the Contacts, Messages, and Phone applications.
From the Home screen, double-click the Home button to display the recently used apps.
Tap and hold the icon for the Contacts application until a red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to close the app.
Repeat the previous step for the Messages and Phone applications.
Tap the Home screen to return.
Turn iPhone off and then back on.
Hope this helps!

HT1451 I am trying to move two ring tones from my Iphone 4 to my new Iphone 5. I can see the ringtones on my old device in Itunes but I cant seem to move them to the Library or to the new device.

I am trying to move 2 ringtones from my Iphone4 to my new Iphone5. I can see the ringtones in Itunes on the old device. I cant seem to copy them to the library or to the new phone. Do you have any suggestions?

Hello DelaineF,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5! It sounds like you would like to transfer your ringtones from your iPhone 4 to your iPhone 5.
If the ringtones were purchased from the iTunes Store, you can transfer them to iTunes using the steps in this article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Once you have the ringtones on your computer, I recommend using the steps in the following article to sync it to your iPhone 5:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

Hi, my phone was stolen a few days ago and I was waiting for it to come online to track the last known location where it was turned on. Now that my phone has been locked but i cant seem to find the last location it was online. I need the last location

Hi, my phone was stolen a few days ago and just a few days ago the phone was online and it automatically locked itself since I've put it under lost mode and the thief probably switched off the phone immediately so that I cant locate it. Is it possible for me to have the last known location where he/she turned on the phone so that I can track it down from the last location? Thank you

Correct.
The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

I had a box on the top of the browser that has written, you got mail. The problem is it keeps repeating you got mail. I don't want to hear it.

This is an unsolicited ad for "winning" an I phone. I am very tired of winning all this junk. I certainly do not want ads talking to me now.

This appears above the page, in the toolbar area? That's probably caused by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or remove).
Often 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 get rid of the ad?
Two other things:
(1) You may want to check the Windows Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, for any undisclosed bundle items. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group by date so they are easier to spot. Remove whatever looks suspicious or unnecessary.
(2) You may want to supplement your regular security software with some of the scanning/cleaning programs listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

Telling the browser that a new page is coming?

Hi,
if I already wrote some stuff to the client with out.print(), how can I tell the browser that he should "forget" the previous stuff and that now a new html page is coming? (maybe I want to do this under a certain condition).
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException, IOException {
     // REPLY
     PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
     String retHTML = "<html><head><title>Send</title></head>";
     retHTML = retHTML + "<body text=\"#ffffff\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">";
     retHTML = retHTML + "<body text=\"#ffffff\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">";
     retHTML = retHTML + "<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\" cellspacing=\"6\">";
     retHTML = retHTML + "<tbody><tr><td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><font align=\"center\" color=\"#ffffff\">";
     retHTML = retHTML + "<b>Nachricht:</b></font></td><td valign=\"top\">";
     retHTML = retHTML + "<FORM action=\"http://www.mycgiserver.com/servlet/usul.Chat\" method=\"post\">";
     retHTML = retHTML + "<INPUT name=message><INPUT type=submit value=\"Send\"></FORM></td></tr></tbody></table></body></html>";
     out.println(retHTML);
        // FORGET IT, I WANT TO START ALL OVER
}

You cant, but fortunately, you havent written anything yet to the client, so you can just empty your retHTML string.
By the way, when you build strings dynamically, you should really use StringBuffer since this is less memory expensive.
Ah hang on, you do have a out.println. Then you cant empty it anymore. Only way to do it, is to parse a bit of javascript function that will start a new request e.g.
out.println("<script>location.href=/webapp/servlet/newRequest");

If FaceTime is not hidden by Restrictions (Settings>General<Restrictions) you got duped. iPods officially sold in Dubai and some other countries that prohibit FT do not have FT and there is not way to get FT on those iPods.

Has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and matched the other clips but when I drop it in the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself

has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and fine and it matches the other clips in my bins but when I drop it into the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself and I can only see a small portion of the image. What's going on? I've noticed this has happened in the past randomly with other clips and it's driving me cray cray! Any help appreciated greatly and thanks in advance for taking the time

In the FCP Browser, click on the source clip that is showing up sized incorrectly to select it. Once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties here, or take a screen shot of the item properties and post the screen shot here.
Next, click anywhere in your sequence timeline and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your sequence settings. Either report those settings or take a screen shot of the sequence settings and post that screen shot here.

Hi People!
Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...

I keep on getting this message when I'm trying to log on to Hotmail
JavaScript required. The browser that you are using does not support JavaScript, or you may have disabled JavaScript
And my browser (IE 6) cannot go to any java links. They either don't load or they are blank pages. I tried installing java, enabling them on the internet options, and even installed a new browser it is still the same thing!!!
I'm very pissed right now but I really really need some help. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you, Zaragon

JavaScript is different from Java. Somehow, security has gotten turn on in IE. If you go to tools, internet options, security, then look at Internet (for hotmail anyway), hit the custom level button, you will see that scripting has been disabled.

I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged when I use my apple id. What should I have done to share the apps?

I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged for the first app I downloaded when I use the same apple id. What should I have done to share the apps and should I have been charged? 2 months ago when I got a new iphone, i was told in order to get all my apps back as I hadn't backed up my files, if I used the same apple id I would 'purchase' the app, but then would not be charged as apple would recognise that I have already purchased the app. That worked, but when I did the same thing on my ipad 2 using the same apple Id, I was charged... what should I have done and is this right as I thought the whole point of having multiple apple devices was I could share apps between devices. please help! thanks.

Using the same Apple id and Password you should be able to download purchased apps without being charged again.
I download to an iPad/iPad2/iPhone3 & iPhone4 with no problem.

HT4059 I have iPod Touch 4 w/ iOS 6.1.5 (10B400). according to the requirements on this page, above, I should be able to use iBooks. However I keep getting the message that I must upgrade to iOS7 - but your website will not allow me to do so. Why not?

... I should be able to use iBooks. However, I can't. When I try to download the app I get the message that I must upgrade to iOS7 - but then Apple's website won't let me download that either. So far, I have managed to download a book to iTunes on my PC, but I cannot get it to sync with my iPod, although I have synced music, a video and a few other apps. I cannot seem to find a solution to my problems with iBooks or iOS7. Please advise.
Yours truly,
Garth Reid
PS I also cannot get the app for Podcasts.

Having the same issue here. I unfortunately purchased a book on iTunes, then went to download iBooks, but can't due to their recent update/upgrade. My kids iTouchs are all 6.1.5 , So I'm guessing that if you did not have iBooks previously purchased that you are now S.O.L. if you want to read a book on your iPod??
I am rather frustrated that I spent money on a book that they can't read.
Is there another app that will let them read it?

I want Google to be the browser that Firefox initially sends me to, but I cant seem to change from Bing successfully; any advice?
