My mozilla firefox page has lost the search bar from the center of the page

the google search bar in the center of the mozilla firefox start page disappeared today and I can't find a way to get it back. When I open the home page it is there for a second or two, then gone. I had rather not change my home page, but I want that mid page search bar back. Any suggestions.
FF v 31
Windows 7

The search bar probably is still there, but only not visible and the mouse pointer should reveil its presence when you hover that area.
You should be able to set focus to it with the Tab key or click if you see the mouse pointer changing.

My Firefox has lost the "go back to the previous site" arrow. PLEASE HELP

My Mozilla Firefox browser has lost the "back arrow" in the toolbar.
I have no way to go back to the previous website I visited.
PLEASE HELP.
THANKS

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Firefox 5 has lost all my chrome tab's and capabilities which came with 4? how do I un install 5 and get back to my version 4?

firefox 5 has lost all my chrome tab's and capabilities which came with FF4? how do I un install 5 and get back to my version 4 & retain all my bookmarks at least I's also like to retrieve my Chrome capabilities as well?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns but I can cut and paste them so I know they are still there. Has this happened to others

The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns A & B but if I cut and paste the table to a new sheet, the columns I am missing will travel to the new sheet. I have charts and other stuff related the the original table so I need to figure out why I can only see from column C forward. I tried to "UNHIDE" the columns but the function doesn't seem to recognise that there are columns missing. Has this happened to others and how did you fix it?

I've seen it happen before, or at least it sounds something like what I've seen before. The table somehow gets into the margins of the page and the app doesn't know how to deal with it. Go into Print View and try moving the table away from the left side ofthe page. You might have to change content size or resize the table to get it to correct (then put you can put them back the way you like).

How do I get my homepage to come up instead of "Meet Mozilla Firefox" page?

I updated to Firefox 8 and ever since that, when I open it, a box pops up saying it's checking for add on compatibility or something like that and my homepage comes up in a tab but the "Meet Mozilla Firefox" page comes up as the first page you see. I would rather not see that every time as I've already gone through all the things on the page. In the options for homepage, it is set correctly for my usual page, but that is not what comes up.

Try this:
Click on the Contacts icon
Select the Menu key
Select Settings
If the Only contacts with phones is checked, uncheck it

HT4623 My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine

My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine. Please help me out, done all the troubleshooting like restarting, side switcing, cleeaning the headphone jack etc.,

Hi I also have this problem. Sound was only working on the headphones and also on the volume slider in the settings app. Everywhere else I get no sound and no volume slider. Now the headphones don't work either.
(I'm using an ipad 2 iOS 6.1.2)
And NO it's not muted. I've reset all settings and restarted the iPad. Been searching forums for a couple days. Some say its a dirty docking port problem, others suggest a Skype or other app update that could be the problem.
No volume control icon appears when I press the volume control buttons. Only says sound effects, if it says anything at all. Most often there is NO volume icon. YouTube, video, music, and other game apps, no sound.

Since updating to 10.6.8 my VPN has lost the connection after 30 minutes. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I updated to 10.6.8 and now my VPN connection is unstable. It has lost the connection to the host after 30 minutes on three different occasions. Before updating, I was able to be connected for hours with no interruption.
The error reads: "A configuration error occurred. Verify your settings and try reconnecting."
Adding to the problem is that the problem only corrects itself after I restart my computer.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix I should be looking for?
Thanks!

I'm sorry I didn't post back earlier, I haven't been using my VPN lately. However, today, I did use it for hours and the problem persisted exactly as explained. I did some more searching and found the following solution on a similar thread. Worked like a charm:
the vpn daemon has to be restarted. after that it works perfectly.
1. Open Terminal
2. Unload the VPN daemon using the following command (for those who don't know, don't include the % sign when typing in Terminal):
% sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.racoon.plist
Note: After you type the command in, Terminal will give you a warning and ask you if you want to continue. Enter your password and continue.
3. Reload the VPN daemon in Terminal (again, not typing the % sign) :
% sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.racoon.plist
That should do it! Thank you to everyone who tried to help me. Hopefully this helps others out there...
P.S. For those that are unfamiliar with terminal. When you type in the commands, that's not a hard return in there before the path /System/Library... etc. The line break is just because the path is too long to fit on that line.

I have an Imac running snow leopard and have recently installed a cannon i-sensys lbp7750Cdn printer since then I can't get the printer working and the air port has lost the DNS servers; if it ever had them!!! but it dose not look happy. Can any one help

I have an Imac running snow leopard and have recently installed a cannon i-sensys lbp7750Cdn printer since then I can't get the printer working and the air port has lost the DNS servers; if it ever had them!!! but it dose not look happy and it is telling me so. Can any one help please?

Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc.

By all means get iLife but just for the record you don't HAVE to use Apple's photo application;
there are many more around, quite a lot of them free.
This http://download.cnet.com/mac/digital-photo-software/?tag=rb_content;main
is a good site to look through for candidates - some will be free some shareware and some paid for.
Alternatively Kodak provides free photo software - navigate through this site to what's right for you:
http://www.kodak.co.uk/ek/GB/en/Home_Main/Kodak_Store/Software.htm
I think its probably this one:

Edit :Just remembered another site for you to explore:

Put "photo" in the search box.....

Grep command has lost the "-P" option

The grep command has lost the "-P" option. It now supports a non-standard "-p" option that doesn't work on previous versions of OS X or Linux. It also doesn't support the long form version of "--perl-regexp". Any portable solutions?
In addition, the command line usage still shows "-P" as an option, but the man page doesn't list it.

Because Firefox 4 has lost numerous bookmarks, including an entire folder, I need instructions for going back to 3.6.16 for American English, Mac OS X.

Firefox 4 has lost numerous bookmarks, including an entire folder, and because Organize Bookmarks has disappeared from the Bookmarks drop-down list, a requirement for restoring Bookmarks from my Profile (as I understand it), I would like to go back to 3.6.16. The one list I found has only 4.0 available as a download for American English, Mac OS X. How do I download 3.6.16?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

My project has lost the audio track. I imported tracks from iTunes, they are in the project but do not play, please help?

Hi...my movie project has lost the audio track. I can see it but nothing plays.
The movie record has its audio but the imported iTunes track is silent.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.
