MBook Pro, OS 10.7.5, Safari Home Page ??

Safari home page is defaulted to "only-search.com" and it won't let me change it.  MacBook Pro, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB, running OS10.7.5 and Safari version 6.1.6 (7537.78.2).  I checked software update for OS and Safari (auto, though checked myself) and everything is up to date.  I change the "Homepage" and when I restart Safari the "only-search.com" web page keeps coming up.  On occasions a message also appears that "my web browser is about to crash and yes or no to clean it" which I have ignored.  Crap from some third party?  Anyone know how to get a clean Safari version?  Thanks.

    How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts?  I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

    Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

  • How do I get rid of icons on my safari home page?also how do I get bookmarks to go to bookmarks list rather than as icons?

    Since the new IOS uodate I can not get new bookmarks to go to my bookmarks list. Instead I get icons on my safari home page which I can not delete. Can anyone help me with this?

    On the Safari page tap the bookmarks icon. Tap favorites, slide the ones you want to delete to the left. When you bookmark a new site when it says location make sure you tap bookmarks and not favorites.

  • When i try to delete a safari home page shortcut there is no favorites option when i tap the book icon. why?

    I want to delete safari home page shortcuts. Previous answers to this question indicate that i should tap the book icon>select favorites>then tap edit.
    There is no option to select favorites. Why.

    You're suffering from two common misconceptions.
    1. You will never get a response from Apple when you submit a crash report. The reports are used internally, if at all.
    2. This is not Apple tech support. This is a forum provided by Apple for users of its products to discuss technical issues among themselves. No one here represents Apple or knows anything about your contacts with Apple. If you want support from Apple, click the Support link at the top of this page.

  • Setting up a safari home page

    I've been using Yahoo as my homepage for years. They are slowly discontinuing content that I use everyday.
    I'm trying to find a homepage that will allow me to add my personal bookmarks such as financials and URLs that I use for work.
    Yahoo has the ability to let me set up the URLs into different folders so I only have to open up the ones I need.
    Sports, trending, etc. is not important to me. I just need it to be functional.
    Any suggestions?

    Setting a home page in Safari is straightforward.
    Open safari and surf to the website you want as your home page. Then open Safari-->Preferneces.
    click on the General icon the toolbar of the preferences window. Then on the homepage setting click on the button 'Set to current page'

  • IMac Lion login defaults to incorrect Safari home page and emails

    When I log into my iMac running Lion, the following programs startup automatically - mail, safari and iTunes.  In mail, an old email is always highlighted, always the same one...I want it to default to the newest message.  In Safari and bookmarked page always starts up instead of my homepage - I want my home page to start up.  And iTunes always starts up and I don't want this to happen.
    If I go into my System Preferences -> General, I've unchecked the box "Restore applications ..."  but when I exit and go back in, it's rechecked.  In my login applications the only application listed is "iTunes Helper."
    It appears my login preferences are always defaulting to the incorrect (but always the same) settings for iTunes, Safari, and Mail.  Any way to clear this all out?

    Preferences may be corrupted...
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.
    Open System Preferences > General
    Make sure the box next to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps is deselected.
    You may also need to move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash as well then reset your Home page in Safari > Preferences - General.
    Same path as the systempreferences.plist

  • Edit Layout of Safari Home Page

    How can I edit the default home page in Safari to add links and interests of mine?
    Thank you

    You can add/sync favorites.
    When you open Safari, it will go to the last page viewed.

  • Safari Home page for iPhone

    Does anyone know why you can't set a homepage on safari on the iPhone?
    Just curious!!
    Alan

    Don't know why. Safari always goes back to the last page selected. If you want, you can save your desired home page as a web clip as described here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#safari.web-clips
    Then use the web clip icon in place of the Safari icon and you will always go to your home page.
