My computer thinks I am not in the UK when I go onto net via Firefox - can I change this?
My computer at work thinks I am not in the UK - my home computer is fine. I have tried to get on 'Scrabble' on facebook and also the National lottery. I can access both through Internet Explorer - but not Firefox. Why?
I am a fellow Brit and use en-GB versions of Firefox. No problems with accessing UK National lottery site from my computers. It is a [https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/help/faqs.ftl#int_GetStarted2 condition] of buying tickets from that site that you are resident in the UK (or IoM)
Besides some business sites using none UK IP address, some may consider business access to facebook and Lottery is not required.

I accidently deleted Safari and now I can't reinstall because it keeps telling me there is a newer version on my computer. The issue is my system does not support the newer version. Does anyone know how I can get around this?
Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone!
I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes. -

MBP 2.66 C2DIf you need a GUI to change the owner of a file or files, try BatChMod
Download BatChmod 1.51
Works on 10.5 and 10.6
http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft/BatchMod/Download.html
Here are similar teminal commands:
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
#Your current user is:
echo $USER
#Let's assume myuser
#Or, you can use the id command.
id
#Remember, this will be the correct userid. You need to find the bad userid.
#You need to look on one of your bad files. To find out your UID and GID do:
cd ~
ls -ln
ls -l
ls -ln filename-of-bad-file
Now, compare the output and write down what you find.
You best use the numeric value of the old userid. In this case it is 501. Before you do a command that will change files, you should list all the files to be changed. From an administrator account, enter the following command:
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec ls -l {} \;
# the system will ask for your log on password. Type it in. The letters will not appear on the screen. Then, press the enter key.
# adding a -x before the / limits the search to the current file system which will be your startup partition.
# To stop the display press control-c ( hold down the control key then press c )
mac $ sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec ls -l {} \;
-rwxr-xr-x 1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks 6.app/AppleWorks 6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks 6.app/Contents/MacOS/AppleWorks Essentials
-rwxr-xr-x 1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks 6.app/Contents/MacOS/Clippings
-rwxr-xr-x 1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks
^C
This command will change the ownership of a file.
Any file or folder with a userid of 501 is changed to 1000. Your numbers will differ.
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 1000 {} \;
#And you need to do this from an administrator id.
More examples:
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 5464 {} \;
sudo find -x / -group 20 -exec chgrp 211 {} \;
#combined change of uid & gid
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 5464:211 {} \;
Hope this helps a little.

The new tab behavior is driving me nuts. It keeps re-centering on tabs nearest the start of the list when I move a tab. How do I change this?
I don't want to download an app. I would rather add a new string in about config or just change of the ones in there to false. It's making my work life rather difficult, to be forced to go all the way back to the end of my list after moving one tab just to have to do it again. I mean it's to the point where I might consider changing browsers if they had tab scroll bars.
Edit: At this point I will download any app. Please make this stupid feature stop.The result of setting up that code will do exactly as you described: the tabs will be crowded together. I had not noticed any change in behaviour of Firefox with tabs because all the tabs are crowded together, so they cannot scroll, and I very seldom move tabs.

Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...

Computer thinks it is connected to the internet when it's not
I posted this in the "Using your PowerBook" category, but I realized it may have to do with internet and networking than anything else. So I thought I'd put it here too.
When logging into my account on my PowerBook, I get the spinning colored wheel and the menu bar takes over a minute to come up. The dock comes up right away, and the status icons (i.e. battery meter, AirPort indicator, Bluetooth, etc...) load at their normal speed. But I get no menu bar, no desktop icons, and no little black triangle under the Finder icon for over a minute. I can click icons on the dock, but nothing will come up until the menu bar has loaded and the colored wheel disappears. After this everything works fine. Applications are plenty fast. I can fast switch between accounts and mine will come back fairly quickly. However, as soon as I actually log out of my account and then log back in, it goes very slowly again. Everyone's account on the computer does the same thing.
I have noticed that the problem only occurs when I am connected to my wireless network at home and the Linux machine which serves as the gateway/router for my network is not connected to the internet. However, this is the case most of the time because I can't get high-speed internet in my area, so I'm stuck with dial-up.
I have a similar problem with iTunes 6.0.4 on my Power Mac G5 Quad running OS X 10.4.6. The G5 is connected to my wireless router with an ethernet cable and whenever the Linux box isn't online and I put a CD into the computer, iTunes spends a minute plus trying the query the online database for the CD info and won't display the CD until the operation times out. However, if I unplug the ethernet cable, the CD comes up instantly. I guess the OS assumes that it is connected to the internet as long as an ethernet cable is plugged in and it has an IP address. The G5 has no login problems though.
This makes me think that the same thing is going on with my PowerBook, because whenever I turn off AirPort, logins become much faster. I don't think the problem has anything to do with my AirPort card however, because logins are just as fast with it on, as long as my Linux machine is connected to the internet. My theory is that something is trying to access the internet at login because it thinks it has a connection, and it is holding everything else up until the operation times out. Does anyone have any clues as to what could be the culprit?
This may sound crazy but I'm pretty sure I first noticed the login problem on my Powerbook after upgrading it to iTunes 6. That might have been a coincidence though because I also upgraded the OS to 10.3.9 right around that time. I can't remember in what order, but the problem with iTunes on my G5 makes me suspicious because I know that problem started with the iTunes upgrade. Strangely, I don't have the iTunes problem on my PowerBook even though I'm running the same version thats on my G5. I guess it's the difference between Panther and Tiger.
I've tried everything from a permissions repair to a clean erase and install in an effort to fix the login problem on my PowerBook. After I restored the the original 10.3 that shipped with it, the problem seemed to vanish, but as soon I a ran Software Update and installed the latest version of everyting, the problem resurfaced. Unfortunately I didn't realize the correlation between the problem and my internet connection at the time, so it may have been just a coincidence.
I've tried bringing the PowerBook in to the Genius Bar at my local Mac store several times and the problem seemed to mysteriously disappear whenever I tried to demonstrate it there. Now I realize that was probably because I was not connected to my home network where the computer thought it was online when it really wasn't. I'm planning to bring them both in again when I get the chance, but "Geniuses" are few and far between at the Genius Bar and you have to get the right person in order to get anywhere. I was hoping someone out there might know how to solve these problems. Can anyone help?Believe it or not, that article helped me find a temporary solution. After reading it I realized that the problem did have to do with my DNS settings. I had taken the DNS settings that my ISP gives me when I dial up and plugged them into the configuration for my AirPort card. This apparently caused a problem because, although my wireless network is always on, it's not always connected to the internet. So those DNS settings were invalid most of the time.
I found that as long as I leave the area for DNS servers blank, the computer logs in normally. This further confirms my suspicion that something was trying to access the internet at login. I guess as long as I don't specify any DNS servers, the computer realizes it doesn't have an internet connection through my AirPort card.
So I just created two network locations: one for when my network is connected to the internet and one for when it isn't. In the first, I kept my original DNS settings because they work as long as I have an internet connection. In the second I did not specify any DNS servers. This seems to work fine, but I'd still like to know what is trying to access the internet at login. I've disabled the automatic update feature in all my programs that have it, but that doesn't seem to help the slowdown at login. Does anyone know how I could figure out what program is trying to access the internet? -
Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?
Hello agardner37701,
I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode. I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Clean the dock connector and inspect it to ensure no pins are bent to resolve the "Device not supported" message.
For the text messages: Settings > Messages > Play alert tones, set it the way you want it. -
My home was recently burgarlized and one of my Ipads were stolen.(Thank God my daughter had hers at school). However, I went online to report my Ipad lost thru apple but now My daughter is unable to Log into the apple account and/or use her Ipad due to being lost. How can I correct this so she can use her Ipad?
Thank youIf you had a passcode set on your iPad your data should be safe. The thief would have to force it into recovery mode and restore it in order to use it, which would completely erase it.
This shouldn't keep your daughter's device from accessing the iCloud account however. If you can no longer sign into the account on iCloud.com from your computer, contact Apple support for assistance. -
when i open my itunes up it slides over to a new screen, it used to just pop up, im not sure what happened to cause this, but can i change it back to how it originally was?
Sounds like you have iTunes set as a full screen app - to view normally in the iTunes windows go to the very top right of your screen - the title bar will appear with a small blue box in the corner with 2 arrows in it - click on this and iTunes should return to how it was before.

Automatically open a tab by typing in address box.
You can middle-click the Go button on the location/address bar to open the URL in a new tab and press Alt+Enter.
You can search the Add-ons website to see if there is an extension that includes this feature. -
The question says it all!
Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).
