My home page won't set...

When I try to set my home page in preferences it sets, but it reverts back to my old home page when I restart. For some reason, the new home page won't save. Any clues?

Hi Fototrip,
You are so welcome, I am sorry I've not been much help with your home page
issue.
Did you do a restart of your computer after restoring the settings to default?
It seems once home-page problems start they have been very persistent.
A few of the many threads regarding the home/desired page not sticking.
On Safari's task/ menu bar, under "View" are all those items active/bold any grayed out?

Do you do any maintenance or clean internet clutter? empty/trash your Safari cache lately & or other files?
Quit Safari first, [did you make sure to quit safari before moving the com.apple.Safari.plist file, last time you moved it to the trash?
Try moving these files & folders to the trash bin,
after a reboot of your machine you can [if this does not help] replace the files you want, to restore/overwrite the newly created files.
Home~/Library/Caches/Safari cache folder
Home~/Library/Cookies/cookie.plist
Home~/Library/ Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.& com.apple.Sherlock.plist
Restart your mac.
Launch Safari, Safari, preferences->Security tab, see that the home page you want has no cookies stored there, close the preferences window.
Navigate to the home page you want.
Open Safari's prefs. again in General tab
New window opens with:
Home page: showing your <URL> click set to "Current Page" change to the other tabs, go back to the General tab., close the pref. window.
Navigate about, click on the Home icon in your Safari toolbar, does it go
to the homepage?
Yes, I am in Mass. right by BC/Newton; ) I hope you are enjoying Seattle, it must be a beautiful coastal city.
Let me know if this helps any, I hope so.
Regards,
Eme'~[)

Home page won't set to my home page

I set my home page to "www.yahoo.ca". When I click 'home' it goes to yahoo.ca which is what I want..But..if I close firefox and reopen, it goes to http://rogers.my.yahoo.com/?_bc=1, which is not what I set up for my home page. When I click 'tool', 'options', 'general' this always comes up http://www.rogers.com/smartkey as 'show my home page'. Doesn't matter how many time I change my home page to www.yahoo.ca it still comes up as www.rogers.com/smartkey.
I would appreciate a reply notice to this to my e-mail if possible to [email protected]

Did you try to start in Safe mode?
In Firefox 4+ versions you can use one of these to start in <u>Safe mode</u>:
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
*Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

My safari home page won't set thru preferences

How do I set my home when it won't change?

sorry it took me so long to get back at you had to go to work thanks for the response

I installed snow leopard and now videos on my Xfinity home page won't play

I installed snow leopard and now videos on my Xfinity home page won't play

You may be in the same boat as me.
I deliberately bought a refurb Feb 2011 MacBook Pro, because it would have originally shipped with Snow Leopard. I have to run an application for my job, which does not run under Lion.
Unfortunately, Apple is now upgrading all Snow Leopard machines, before selling them as refurbs. I purchased a legal copy of Snow Leopard, and have tried various downgrade solutions that I found posted on the net, without success. No matter what I do, it always goes into "three beep mode" after trying to install Snow Leopard.
The latest development came this evening, while I was talking to the "geniuses" at Apple. Apparently, there is now a firmware revision that loads the first time you run Software Update under Lion, and it locks the machine so that it can't revert to Snow Leopard.
The only option they have been able to offer me so far, is to return the machine and get a refund. This is maddening, as I HAVE to have a Snow Leopard machine, and can't find any other way to purchase one.

Can not change and keep home page to customized setting

Im trying to set my home page to Comcast but it is not allowing me to keep it. It stays while my session is open but once it is closed it resets to the default home pages.

Firefox's default home page is simply about:home with appears blank in the address bar. Do you have multiple default home pages??
Hopefully this article will help with having your preference changes remembered: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

My language in pages won't set to English. Can someone help???

My spellcheck won't work. It doesn't work because the language in the pages inspector is set to none. When I try to change it to english, it won't change and goes back to none. Because of this, my spellcheck won't work. Can someone fix this?

Hi try backing up the iPad to iCloud.
After this reset the iPad by going settings>general>Reset>Erase all context and settings.
Then set the iPad up from the iCloud back up you just made.
If you are unsure of anything just replay back.

What is the name of the Firefox add-on where on your home page you can set multiple quick links to your favourite web sites?

What is the name of the Firefox add-on where you can set multiple links to your favorite web sites on your home page?i used to have it on my old laptop but cant remember what it is called

You can do that with an extension like the Google Toolbar.

I upgraded to firefox 4.0 and now my msn home page won't let me see my hotmail account

Usually on my msn home page I can see stocks and my hotmail account. After upgrading the place is there but it won't show whether I have new emails or not and doesn't show current stock prices.

If for FaceTime or Messages see:
iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'
Otherwise what are you doing?

Firefox android opens to about.config as home page. unable to set new home page

firefox android always opens new tab or browser session on about:config page.
I've restarted browser and tablet(Samsung Galaxy Tab 3), and this behavior still persists.
All google searches suggest that the firefox android browser home page cannot be changed but this is obviously not true.
I've tried solutions that suggest navigating to about:home and modifying bookmarks and these paths do not work.
The awesome bar is far from awesome!!!!!!
How do I stop the browser from starting at about:config and how can I make the home page be what I want?

In the about:config page entry on the desktop there is a homepage entry, but does not show up on my android, odd.
Try this > Settings > Customize > Home
Change setting here and open a new tab to see if changes are made.
Also check the about:addons page to see if you have any homepage add ons that has saved the about:config page as the home page.
Looking forward to your reply!

Igoogle home page will not set

I am trying to"re- set" my 85 year old dad's igoogle page as his home page and it is redirected to a "Create a igoogle page" This problem did not exist last week and does not exist on my fire fox igoogle home page -- mine works fine

Try:

Only my home page won't open when I go to log in, it gets the message that the session has timed out. What can I do about it?

I can log in and use my homepage in IE but I get a session timed out message when I try to log in while using Firefox. the URL is: https://familysearch.org.

I also did one other thing, before I got the reply. I changed my home page from the log in page to the website's home page. Then I can log in after clicking the log in button. It seems that the log in page wasn't allowing me to get into another session. Perhaps this will help someone else. The above solution was good in that it helped me find out all the places I needed to go to erase unwanted cookies, etc. Thanks for the help.

After I open FireFax 4 to my home page and then try to navigate elsewhere, I do not have access to the back arrow to return to the home page. What setting is causing this to happen?

Toshiba Satellite Laptop
Vista Home Premium
Firefox 4.0 recently installed
Every time I load Firefox, my home page comes up.
After going to another page, I do not see the back arrow highlighted, and the only way to get to the home page, I have to click on the Home button in the upper right part of the screen and get a new tab. Annoying - yes. Practical - no. I even uninstalled 4 and reloaded with the same results each time.

Then you need a clean install.
First export your bookmarks to a html file. (Bookmarks/Unsorted bookmarks will bring you History page where you can export your bookmarks). Note down your add-ons too.
Uninstall the old FF using free software like Revo Uninstaller. This will delete all the root directories and registries of old FF.
Now download the latest version of FF and install it. You can re-import your bookmarks from your saved html file.
You may still have to do the fix in my first post.
Post here whether this worked for you.

Home page won't load completely

When I open itunes, the main page will not load. I can see the 'Quick Links' and 'Top Charts' on the side but the main center part wont appear. When I click on 'see all' singles under the 'top charts' the songs all come up but the preview button doesn't appear and I cant do anything. I'm very frustrated.

Suddenly (as of this AM) I'm having this same issue. I'm running a MBA under 10.7.3, with latest iTunes (10.5.3). Never had this problem before.
Symptoms:
The Home Page is completely blank except for right panels (Quick Links, Top Charts) and iTunes Store footer; all other tabs on top do the same, except for App Store page, which is completely blank.
Connection to Store is fine--iPhone syncs w/o a problem, and I can see my apps, music, updates, etc., can even access my Wish List.
Updates download w/o problems, but if I try to view page for an app, only the top part of the page loads, down to "What's New in version xxx". Everything below is blank--no views of app, no Reviews, etc.
Category pages will load, but without any Thumbnails, only text, but Purchase buttons work.
My iPhone connects and appears as it should--no problems at all.
What I've Tried:
reloading iTunes page--several times--no help.
Reopening iTunes--several times--no help.
Rebooting Mac--ditto
On iPhone:
App Store seems to work fine.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Home page won't load on startup

I've had all sorts of issues with safari 3.1.1 in trying to sort out these problems I've done something since removing some 3rd party plugins where on loading safari it opens on last page visited instead of reverting back to my home page, It does not do this if I login up under my "Test" user, so it's somewhere in my personal settings.......... any ideas as it's annoying

Some 3rd party add-ons such as SAFT open on a restart all tabs from a previous session. Which 3rd party items do you have remaining?

Firefox 8: home page won't display, cannot enable tabs at all on 64-bit win7, even running safe mode with all add-ons disabled

(Firefox 8) cannot display home page without explicitly typing into address bar (not at start-up and home button doesn't work either). Also, cannot see tabs at all (enabled or disabled).
Any suggestions?????

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.
