I want tabs to open at google.ca as they did before I got rid of the bing bar. Have gone to options and set it there but I still get the thumbnail page. Thx.

Instead I get the thumbnail page which Id rather not have. I x'ed out all the thumbnails so only the google.ca one is there but it's not a full page, just a thumbnail. I realize I can enlarge it. This is not a huge problem but I would like it solved.

Just to lay out the recipe all in one place:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Note: as per cor-el's suggestion, open the Google page you want and copy the "final" URL from the address bar to paste in when you update this setting. If you use a shortened version, then Google will send Firefox a redirect every time, which is a waste.

I have installed CC and dowloaded apps sucessfully - but are still getting the trial version when I open them

When I open the apps I´m asked to activate it with a product key. Another problem is that one app is listed as installed in CC, but is not downloaded.
Please help. Have work to do.

HT5132 I have deactivated my mobile me, I've switched to iCloud. I have no albums to update but I still get the pop-up sign to move files, it locked up Aperture. I had to restore my Aperture files, I've restarted and it still wants me to move files.

I have deactivated my mobile me, switched to iCloud. I have no albums to update but I still get the pop-up sign to move files, it locked up Aperture. I had to restore my Aperture files, I've restarted and it still wants me to move files. Anyone have any suggestions?

Quit - or force quit - Aperture, if it is still trying to transfer MObile Me content.
Then relaunch. When the "Mobile Me has ended" panel appears press the "Learn More" button, not the "o.k." button.
Then you should be able to open the Preferences in Aperture and and open the "Web" panel. Remove "Mobile Me" from the Accounts pane.
Then also open the System preferences > Mobile Me panel and check if you are still signed into Mobile Me.
If this does not work, try to disconnect from the Internet before you launch Aperture again.

Error when I try to open Firefox. Says Firefox is running in the background and cannot open. Suggests closing that window or restart system. This has happened several times recently. I reinstalled but am still getting the error. Any thoughts?

I am getting an Error when I try to open Firefox that Says Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. This has happened several times recently. I deinstalld and reinstalled but am still getting the error. Any thoughts?

This happens to me as well. However, I have a shortcut on my desktop as well as my quick start bar. When this has happened to me, I can usually log back in without restarting, by using the shortcut on the desktop rather than the usual quick start bar.
I know this sounds weird, but it has worked for me about 80% of the time.

Hi
Error -49 opWrErr File already open with write permission
Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
• Create a new User-Account
• Log out of Your old one and into this
• Re-try iMovie
If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
from Karsten Schlüter
Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
in Terminal copy/paste
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Re-launch Mac

How can I prevent the open/save file confirmation window popup ? Mine is currently set for "always do this action" but I still get the popup.

Whenever I "export" a QIF file from my bank I get a File Action confirmation window popup. I have the correct application selected and I have it selected to "open" and "always do this action" but the popup always pops.
I have checked the applications tab and the correct application is selected.
How can I prevent the confirmation popup window please ?

Cheers for the reply.
I have deleted the rdf file but no difference. I still get the opening file box popup.
From the resetting download actions link. Both lines in the about:config are missing.
I have also tried switching the download option for the qif file to use a csr file but that also opens the confirmation box.
I pulled this from the rdf file
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:text/x-qif"
NC:alwaysAsk="false"
NC:saveToDisk="false"
NC:useSystemDefault="false"
NC:handleInternal="false">

Not sure if that helps.
Thanks again for the reply

The URL bar can also be used for a search engine, but when I search something a page pops up reading "The URL is not valid."

When I click on the URL bar it says to insert address or search, yet when I search it says the URL is not valid, which is obvious because I didn't put in a URL, I searched something. I never installed an add on or anything. It just quit working one time and hasn't worked since.

Does it happen to all the search words or particular words?
It may be a malware issue too.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Firefox will not open my homepage road runner anymore, but I still get the net. Explorer lets me open my homepage, why?

Firefox is not opening my homepage anymore which is road runner.
It tells me that there is a problem with road runner, but that is not true because when I go through Explorer, my rr homepage comes up.

Try resetting your Homepage.

Have you got some kind of search bar added as a plugin that you need to uninstall. I note an entry in your system details mentioning 'BLNBAR'.

I just upgraded from IPhoto7 to 9.5. Now I can't open iPhoto without a downloaded tool to bridge the gap bewteen versions. I downloaded the tool and I still get the message "To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple."

I had to upgrade to Mavericks to send off the iCanendars I made in iPhoto. Then I had to upgrade my IPhoto from 7 to 9.5. Now when I go to open iPhoto I get the message "To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple." Well, I installed the Upgrader, but I still get the message and can't open iPhoto. I have tried restarting the computer, but that didn't help. How do I get the computer to recognize the Upgrader?

You may get more replies in the iPhoto forum.
