I want to clear my browsing history but can't access the Firefox window.

My Firefox was set up by an IT guy to take me directly to ATT/Yahoo email. I can't clear history nor access a Firefox Screen to set that up, as per the tutorial.
How do I do that in my setup? Everything I try takes me to Att/Yahoo.

I have a new Dell I 7 laptop running Windows 8. As I said, Firefox was set up to take me straight to ATT/Yahoo email and I can't clear history when browsing or access a Firefox window to follow the tutorial.
Any help here would be appreciated.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

I think the suggestion by JimHdk is fair simple. Most Internet services providing email offer a way to access email via a browser like Safari instead of using the Mail app. You start Safari, got to the webmail webpage, enter a user name and password and are provided with a list of waiting emails. You can read emails, reply to emails, delete emails and create new emails on those sites. This is a very common way for people who travel a lot and who encounter your problem, to access their emails.
If you don't know the website for your webmail contact your provider.

MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET

my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??

I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

I'm unable to clear my search history after many attempts with the firefox instructions as I'm unable to check the "Form and Search History" box for some reason

I've tried several times to clear my search history without any success. I've been able to do so in the past, but this is the first time I've tried in a while and for some reason it will not let me check the box for "Form and Search History." Then sometimes it will let me check that box, but when I click "ok" to apply the clearing of the search history, nothing happens and it still remembers all my sites. At that point I try to clear it again and its back to not letting me check the "Form and Search history" box (I've gone through this cycle a few times). I tried looking through some of suggested articles that Firefox sent me too, but I don't know much about computers and just doing the things they seem talking about isn't working either. Please help, thanks!

It seems to have worked itself out. Thanks anyway!

I see the entry in history but can i get the date out of the entry

I can see an entry in history that Id like to be able to get the date of that entry. Is there a way? I right click and get not much info

If you view the entry in the Library dialog, you can adjust the columns displayed to include the last visit date. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+h
* menu: History > Show All History
On the headings bar that shows Name, Location, or other headings, right-click to turn different columns on and off. Can you get the date?
Note that the Library dialog only shows the date and time of the latest visit, and not every visit. The information for other visits is harder to extract, but if it's essential, there is a way. See: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/981055 Recalling a page from History erases the old history date. Any way to retain that older history entry along with the current one?]

Disk utility can't repair but can't access the HD to back-up files?

I'm relatively new to MACs and have a 2TB Seagate with a good portion of our family pics on it. I opened the Disk Utility and attempted to repair the HD but get the message:
"Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
Here's where I'm stumped...I can't actually access the disk to back it up. At one point I was able to open the disk and see the files so I went and bought another HD to back it all up....but now I can't access it. I've found a few threads discussing using recovery software but the data isn't that important. I was using the HD as my Time Machine BU so I'm more nervous about re-formatting it and trusting it with my data again. Should I bother even reformatting it or just toss the thing?

You might try a force mount...
Launch/Utilities/Terminal and enter this command at the prompt
diskutil list
Press return. If it sees the disk, note the number of the disk (far left column) you want to mount.
Then, enter this command
mount /dev/(number of disk)
Put in the number no parenthesis.
Press return.
If you're able to mount copy off the data you need. Even if you can mount it, wouldn't I trust the disk again.
Try Drive Genius in demo mode to run a surface scan and see if there are any bad blocks.

I have lost the Firefox start page, so can't access the Firefox tab. I keep getting Ask, which I don't want

For some reason I have started to get a blank type page, rather than the Firefox start page when I open firefox. The blank page has no firefox tab at the top left so I cannot access any of the firefox features by the tab. Also the blank page does not show my bookmarked websites which is an inconvenience. Whenever I type in a search word, the results come up in a page of information promoted by 'Ask"'. I don't want this. I don't know how this has happened but I cannot seem to find a fix. I uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled to see if this would work, but it has not. Can someone help please.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Macbook pro connects to iphone through bluetooth but can't access the internet

Hello, I have a macbook pro 10.6 and an iphone 3gs 4.3.3. I used to be able to connect the macbook to the iphone through bluetooth using personal hotspot and access the internet but one day it just stopped working. I have tried turning them off and on, disconnecting bluetooth etc but nothing has worked so far. I have tried connecting my iphone to my ipad2 through bluetooth, it works great. The iphone to the macbook through usb and it works great as well. I have tried connecting another iphone to my macbook through bluetooth and it doesn't work. The bluetooth on my macbook seems to be the problem
Well, to be more precise, the macbook sees the iphones, connects to them through bluetooth, the blue bar appears on the iphones screens but the computer wont access the internet.
Any idea?
Thank you very much.

SUCCESS!!!!!
I visited my brother-in-law yesterday and attempted to connect with his secure network. By sheer luck, he is using the exact same model LinkSys router. My iPhone connected first time--so the iPhone was eliminated as a source of the problem.
I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting at his house, but I did notice that his network was set for both dynamic DHCP and dynamic DNS. I know that either or both of Windstream (my ISP) and my broadband modem requires a pair of static DNS addresses.
Sure enough, delving real deep into Windstream's support site, I discovered a LinkSys router DNS help page, specifying how to set static DNS addresses in LinkSys routers. I then accessed my router, enterd the known static addresses, saved the router settings, then rebooted the iPhone and connected to the network.
SUCCESS!!!
Thanks to Jane, who suggested it was an ISP issue, Jason, and all at Apple support. dumonj, I'll email you directly. Try this suggestion and see if it helps.

I have Windows 7 64 bit, I downloaded iTunes 10 64 bit but can not access the iTunes store. I keep getting I do not have a secure connection, which I do.

I have Windows 7 (64 bit) and iTunes 10.2.2.12. I can access the web through Mozilla and Internet Explorer. But, when I open iTunes I can not access either the iTunes Store or iTunes Help. I keep getting a message that says the web connection is not secure. I use a Intel wireless router that is secure. I have tested my Norton program, but it is not Norton that is blocking iTunes. What can I do?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you checked through the following document?
iTunes: About the "A secure network connection could not be established" alert

TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wifi, but can't access the internet.

When I am in the same room as my wireless router, my Ipad accesses the internet correctly. When I go into a room where my Ipad and laptop couldn't reach my router, I installed an extender. Now, my laptop and my wife's Ipad can access the internet, but my Ipad can't. What should I do?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Hi, i have a macbook air, but i want to upgrade to the new model. I want to sell my existing air, but can i wipe the memory clean of all existing content to sell it, but still update my new pc when it arrives?

Hi, i have an Air but want to upgrade to the new model. How do i wipe the memory clean of my existing Air so i can sell it, and ensure when i get my new PC it automatically assumes the existing settings? Any help appreciated...

First of all, as a rule you should have two backups before you do anything else. (most don't, and it's up to you).
I would have one backup done as a Time Machine backup on an external disk, which you will use to import all settings, data and apps to your new MBA via Setup Assistant on your very first boot of the new machine.
Second, I would have prepared, a bootable backup done via Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper on a second external disk. This you can use for unforseen problems that might be evident on the Time Machine backup (hey it happens).
After you have these two items in preparation, then use the original system disk or flash drive to reformat and reinstall the original operating system to the old machine, cleanly. After that, it is ready for sale. If the unit is not an SSD equipped MBA, you can perform a secure wiping of the disk when you perform the reformatting.
To reiterate.... You need a good Time Machine Backup as a source for you setting up the new Mac with Setup Assistant.

I no longer have an "organize bookmarks" option. I want to arrange them my way, but can't find the file to edit to make it look like I want it to look.

I used to be able to edit a bookmark.html file and the bookmarks would stay where I put them. Now they seem to have a life of their own and move in places I don't want them.

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.
For info Firefox has not stored bookmarks in bookmarks.html since Firefox 2, it now stores them in places.sqlite

I'm downloading the update but can't access the dock

I downloaded the upgrade and an icon was just on the dock but if i click on it , it doesn't do anything, is it downloading ok or do i need to do something else?

The download takes quite a while. You should see a progress bar under the Apps Store application.
When it is fully downloaded a window should open asking you if you want to install now.

I want to clear my browsing history but can't access the Firefox window.
