When I open a new tab, then go to a new website, the back button doesn't work.

For instance, I open craigslist in a new tab, then I click on "sporting goods". I try to click back to go back to the original craigslist page and the back button is not lit up and does not work. However if after I am on the sporting goods page (the second page I've looked at in that tab) I click on a set of golf clubs, the back button works to go to the sporting goods page.
Please help, I have to use explorer in the mean time :(

I had this problem, but in addition, the refresh button didn't work on the new tab. If you're running McAfee SiteAdvisor, disable it in the addons menu, allow firefox to restart, and see if that solves the problem. It did for me.
This problem has been reported on McAfee's forum and they say they're working on a fix.

Hi I just got a new laptop and I wanted to move all of my music to it. When I looked up ways to do this Home Sharing seemed like the easiest step therefore I updated everything and did what I was told but it seems as if my PC won't see my desktop Mac.

Is there anything that I am doing wrong? I really just want to get all of my music off my Mac before I go back to school.

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

When I downloaded Firefox 5.0, I lost my Yahoo tool bar. I want to go back to Firefox 4.6. I tried a system restore but it didn't help. I want my Yahoo tool bar BACK and Firefox 5.o isn't compatable. Fred Fouche'

Cannot use my back button on one site can click on pages

When I load the main page it comes right up and if I click on sub pages they display but if I try to use the back button to go back they will not load. I have cleared cache and it does not help.

You can move on to Firefox if you wish, but you will still have an underlying problem with your OSX install if Safari is not working for you as it does for most everybody else.

HOW TO REMOVE SHOPING REPORT AND COPMARE TRAVEL RATES FORM MAIN TOOL BAR IN FIR FOX ?

Yahoo Messenger by default installs a number of extras such as the Yahoo toolbar and a browser plus plugin. There are a couple of places to check to uninstall these. First is the add-ons manager, for details on uninstalling via the add-ons manager see the [[Uninstalling add-ons]] article. If the Yahoo toolbar is not listed there, you can check the Windows control panel. The BrowerPlus plugin will probably also be listed in the control panel.
You should be able to remove it from the Windows control panel.
* From the Start menu, select Control Panel
* Open the list of installed programs:
** If in icon view, click Programs and Features
** If in category view, under "Programs", click Uninstall a program
* In the list of programs select the program, and then click Uninstall.

Safari why can I not use the back button

Hi;
Ever since I upgraded tp Mountain Lion I cannot use the back button to return to an previous website.
It seems I can only use the back button if I am going back within the current web site.
In other words:
I am in website A and go to a website B (home Page) and in website B I open another page, when I hit the back button it will go back to the home page of website B BUT then the back button is gray and no longer allows to to go back to the website A.
Yes, there are tabs that have web pages but they are shortened.
Thanks
Greg

Thanks, Not sure why when I got mountain lion it dropped it.
Thanks again
Greg

TS1139 I'm trying to process my first iPhoto order and I can't get past the fact it won't accept my telephone number. Thinking this may be a format glitch, I have tried to get around this but no success. Any suggestions? Yours in frustration:( CW

I'm trying to process my first iPhoto order and I can't get past the fact it won't accept my telephone number. Thinking this may be a format glitch, I have tried to get around this by spacing but no success. I live in Australia and the prefix is +61. Any suggestions welcome? Yours in frustration:( CW

Experiment - or search these forums - someone discovered a solution and it was a format issue
The US format for phone numbers is 10 digits AAA-PPP-NNNN - you do not include the 01+ here typically - maybe if you can out your digites in that format it will work
Hopefully someone from down under will tell how they do it

I want to unload Yahoo tool bar and go back to firefox tool bar but cannot pull up a "tool bar" it is missing as well as the back icon My book marks are apparently in the firefox format and I cannot access them

I want to restore firefox tool bars so I can have the back icon and my bookmarks accessable. I now have Yahoo tool bar and it does not show file, tools, edit, etc.

'''''"does not show file, tools, edit, etc."''''': That is the Menu Bar; see below
'''Can't see the Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
''(~~red:Linux & OSX see~~: [[Menu bar is missing]] )''
''Windows'' Method 1. '''''Hold down''''' the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M then release the key
''Windows'' Method 2. Tap once on the F10 key, while the Menu bar is visible, choose "View > Toolbars", click "Menu Bar" so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
''Windows'' Method 3. Tap once and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed.

Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.
