My new ios 7 safari defaults to chinese websites

When I want to look at the internet, safari has six sites with all Chinese wording.  No yahoo or google.  How to I get it back to the regular safari? This became an issue once I installed ios 7

The six websites include Wikipedia right? (: don't worry! This isn't a permanent thing. The only reason why it's in Chinese is because those websites are Chinese websites. First, go to the bookmarks bar (book icon beside cloud icon at top right hand corner of safari), go to your favourites, and start deleting the Chinese websites from the favourites! Then afterwards you can go to the different sites and add it to your favourites.

  • In the new iOS-7 Safari, has the "reader" function been changed to eliminate the option to modify font size (and hence to modify the number of words per line), or is it just that I can't find how to do that?

  • New iOS 7 Safari bookmark menu colored icons

    When a bookmarked website doesn't have their own favicon, how does Safari decide which color it will use for the default icon? In other words, why is one black, one gray, and one red?

    When a website doesn't have a favicon, the default icon is the grey icon with the compass.  If there is an "apple-touch-icon" (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AppleApplications/Referenc e/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html) in the HTML, it shows that.  If there is just a regular favicon, it picks the color from that.  I'm not sure exactly how it does it (maybe the most abundant color).  I haven't seen anything in the HTML of the pages to determine it.

  • I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

    What position would that be?
    No you can't downgrade, not supported by Apple.

  • I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

    I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

    You can't open it meaning it does not launch when you tap on the app icon? If that's what's happening try this and then see if Safari will launch.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Now close Safari. To close Safari, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail app to close it.
    Now reboot the iPad. 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If Safari does launch and this isn't what you are experiencing - you need to explain in more detail what is going on.

  • HT4623 I do not like the new iOS 7 operating system on my iPad.  I do not like the Safari works, I do not see a way to enter or search for a new web site.  Is there a way that I can go back to the older operating system?

    I do not like the new iOS 7 system on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.   I can not like the way Safari works, I can not see a way to enter name to search for new web sites.  Is there a way I can go back to the old iOS 6.1.5 operating system on my devices?  Thank you.

    I can not see a way to enter name to search for new web sites
    Put your search terms in the combined URL and search bar at the top of the browser (exactly the same as you do in most modern desktop browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Explorer). There is no separate search box, just use the box where you enter web addresses.
    And no, you cannot downgrade.

    Do you mean you want to sync your desktop Safari bookmarks to iOS? This is done in iTunes when you sync the iOS device. There is a box to check to make this happen.

  • I cannot type a web page on my iphone5 on the search or enter website name window of safari. as I type w the system brings me back to the phone main screen. This has happened since I updated to the new iOS 8

    You haven't mentioned any steps you might have tried to correct this so I'll suggest you try the first troubleshooting step. Reset your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the device restart. No data will be lost doing this. It's like rebooting a computer.

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

  • HT201077 The new IOS 7 update has assigned a non-existing icloud account to my iPad!

    About a year ago I updated my email address associated with my itunes account.  When I did that the apps that were purchased before the update had the old itunes email address attached to them.  Well today I updated my Ipad 2 with the new IOS 7 and it defaulted my icloud account to the old email address.  I attempted to change it but it would not allow me to do so without the password for the icloud account with the old email address.  Unfortunately there is no password or actual account with that email because I updated my itunes with a new email address.  I am now stuck with a ghost icloud account on my ipad that I cannot get rid of because it does not exist.  Likewise I can't add my actual icloud account to my ipad because I have to remove the incorrect account that defaulted into the setup.  Does anyone know how to work around this so that I can gain access to my actual icloud account?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the pimary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • Private browsing isn't showing up after downloading new ios 8.0 on my iPad 2

    After downloading the new IOS 8.0 and then the update IOS 8.0.02, I am unable to clear my browser history because the CLEAR button simply doesn't function. Also, I learned that with IOS 8.0 I am supposed to be able to enable private browsing by clicking on the double square located in the top right hand corner of a safari page and then locating the Private Browsing option at the bottom of that particular window. However, there is no Private Browsing option down there. From pictures on the internet, I can see where it is supposed to be but it is simply not there. Lastly, if I go to my Safari Settings there is an option that says Clear History and Website Data. But guess what? That text is also a light grey color just like the Clear function under the History tab that I mentioned earlier. Neither can be clicked on! What is going on?

    Tap the two boxes. Private should be on the top of the next page.
    Go to settings> general> restrictions and remove all restrictions, that should fix all your problems.
