My browser toolbar keeps defaulting to Ask instead of Google. Have deleted it, moved it and everytime I reboot there it is. How can I remove or set Google as default?

I am running Win7. On my screen, there is a field that lists the browsers available. The default seems to be Ask with the others listed, about 5. There is a button to move them according to preference so I move Google up to the top. Then there is also a button to Remove the ones I don't want to use. I have tried both of those and everytime I reboot or open up the Mozilla browser page it defauts back to Ask. How can I stop this from happening. Did read there is a workaround but not sure that is what I should do

There is a quick, clear guide for changing this on [http://www.groovypost.com/howto/how-to/change-firefox-4-address-bar-search-engine-provider/ this page] as the dedicated search bar and the omnibar ''do'' have very different requirements for changing.

  • Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer.  The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone.  How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

    I found that the only time Siri will read anything to you is if it finds a Wikipedia article. Siri will let you know it found that, and ask if you want it to be read out loud. Other than that you will hear the "I found this, take a look".
    The only other thing you can do is activate "Speak Screen". It will involve you taking a look at your phone for a moment, selecting what you'd like to look at, but Siri will read the content to you. It's in Settings > General > Accessibility.  Once activated, all you have to do is slide two fingers from the top of the screen and you will have it read to you. I use it all the time because of my astigmatism. It's pretty useful.

    How can I remove ASK toolbar.... 

    You may have inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
    For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

  • How can I remove "Hello World!" from my browser menu bar

    I just noticed there'e something in my brower menu bar that has never been there before. Next to the other menu options (File, Edit, View, History, etc.) appears the words"Hello World!". I know it wasn't there two weeks ago, and it's highly unlikely I would have missed seeing it a few days ago when I last did extensive browsing. In hopes of fixing the problem myself, I deleted the only two FF add-ons installed to my PC in the past month. I also ran a system restore to a point created 35 days ago. But "Hello World!" still remained in the menu bar. When I try clicking it on, nothing happens. I tried removing it by pressing the "Customize"option in the toolbar, but it "Hello World!" would not drag down from the menu bar. I was still running FF version 22.0., and when I saw that an update to FF 23.0 was available, I ran the update, but this did nothing the fix my issue (I'm currently back to FF22.0, due to the System Restore that I ran earlier). Finally, I went to both my "Program Files" folders, and sorted them using "Date Modified", to identify any programs changed or added in the past several weeks. There were only a few programs changed in this timespan, so I scoured all files within those few folders, but nothing stood out as unusual. CAn anyone tell me what this "Hello World!" is or why it is appearing in my menu bar? Most importantly, would anyone know how I can remove it permanently ? Following Firefox's instructions, I've created a Print Screen photo showing my brower toolbars, including the menu bar ( at the very top just above my address bar), so that you can see where "Hello World!" appears. Not sure yet how to attach the PrtScn photo to this question I'm about to submit, so if it doesn't make it to the forum with my question, I can send it to anyone who emails me a reply.
    Thank You.

    THis is a reply to my own question, so that I can upload the Print Screen image of my browser toolbar. Look for "Hello World!" at the top, just above my address bar. Thanks again to anyone who can help me remove this from my menu bar.

  • Dear Friends...... I have an ipad 2 32gb with wifi and 3g enabled sim..... i bought it second hand .... and now if am going to download any games it is showing me an email id and asking for its password... please guide me how can i change this setting

    Dear Friends...... I have an ipad 2 32gb with wifi and 3g enabled sim..... i bought it second hand .... and now if am going to download any games it is showing me an email id and asking for its password... please guide me how can i change this setting to my email id and password

    Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then login with your id. Any content already on the iPad will be tied to the previous owner's id and it can't be copied or transferred to your id - so it's probably best to do restore the iPad back to factory defaults and start as from new with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents And Settings

  • No longer asks if I want to delete photos on camera. I cannot move photos to trash. how do I delete them?

    no longer asks if I want to delete photos on camera. I cannot move photos to trash. how do I delete them?

    it is rrecommended that you never have iPhoto delete your photos - import them and be sure they are safely in iPhoto and then after one (or more) backup cycles use the camera's format command to reformat the memorycard and delete the photos
    As to the lack of being ask
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

    Do you mean you have a Macbook Pro (laptop) versus a Mac Pro (desktop)?
    You can back up the MBP, restart using Command+R to boot into the Mavericks Recovery HD, erase the Mactintosh HD and Reinstall OS X. Then you can go through setup and configure it with your information and Apple ID. Mavericks should not prompt you for an Apple ID when it goes through the install since that OS is free.
    One thing you might want to consider is asking the previous owner to unregister the MBP from his Apple ID if he previously registered it. Then you can register it under your Apple ID.
    The previous owner should have wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS that came pre-installed before selling it.
