My search box in the upper right side of the screen changed from Google to Ebay without intentional action on my part and I have been unable to find a way to get rid of the ebay search tool and get google back.

When I first went to do a search using the search box on the right side of the toolbar I noticed it had a different icon. It was so so small I did not recognize it as Ebay until I hit search and it was then I realized my search tool had somehow been changed. The only use my wife had made of the computer since the prior evening was to view an email from the president of a local charity sending an updated roster of officers. I did look at the user profile file and saw that it showed the profile changed as of 7:46 am which was when my wife looked at the email. I tried deleting the file but firefox would not run without it so I restored the file. Our internet security program is Avast.

Here's a simple explanation of how to fix the problem:

Worked for me today!! (Even when opening a new browser window.)

There are several items I'd like to remove that are on the line at the top of my page that starts with "Most Visited," and I have been unable to find a way to remove them.

At the top of the page, between the address of the page I'm on and the tabs that are open is a line that starts with "Most Visited" and also includes Amazon, aBay, Yahoo, etc., all of which I want to keep. But there are also a number of other links that I don't want but can't find a way to delete. I've looked at suggestions til my eyes bugged out of my head, but nothing I've found allows me to get rid of them. Only one of them is something I saved, but it is no longer usable.

The mouse that came with my Mac does not have a right click feature. When I try to highlight and click, it just opens the link I don't want anymore. What I want to do is remove unwanted links from the top bar. For example, I no longer use GoodSearch or myEarthLink, but I can't delete them. There are also some links that never should have found their way up there, and I don't know how they ended up there, and I can't remove them either. I've read through a ton of questions and answers, and I can't find one that addresses the problem. With my Safari browser, all I have to do to remove an unwanted link is to click and drag it to the trash. It doesn't appear to work that way with Firefox, to my chagrin. I hope this better explains my question. Maybe that will give you a better insight into a solution.

Please help Apple community!!!! We had the iphoto icon set up on our iMac which stored over 4000 photos of our grandson sin he was a baby till 5yrs. Unfortunately my niece manage to loose this icon from the side bar and we have been unable to find it. Ple

Question!
We had the iphoto icon loaded in our sidebar and we have lost this icon along with over 4000 photos.
How can we find this icon with all our photos? And are we able to retrive them!

Hey Ralph and the rest,
I really appreciate everyone's imput for our original post so far and was hoping to have some positive news for y'all but unfortunately we are unable to retrive these photos from anywhere.
We have tried to retrive the icon in Finder and Applications but have been unsuccessful. We also
tried looking for the icon in every application within the imac but unfortunately still no success.
I know we would've, should've, could've but we never and this is the result of loosing all these precious
photos.
If anyone has any other ideas other than taking it to the experts we would greatly greatly appreciate this.
Regards
Desperate!!!!

You have activated rotation lock. Check the little switch near the volume control.

I cannot connect to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer. The other "library" does not come up in the box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen. I tried disconnecting each computer from Home Sharing.

Mkae sure you have enabled Home Sharing using the same AppleID on both computers.

Hi, Last time I synced my IPad with my PC, it (unknown to me) migrated all my PC "Favorites" (about 100 folders) to the ICloud.
I have searched and so far been unable to find out how to recover my "Favorites" from the ICloud back to my PC. Any advice would
be appreciated. Thank you.

What did you do to get them synced to the Cloud. Would that procedure help me get my favorites synced to my iPad2?

Unless you have the AppleCare+ extended warranty,
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $19 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
With AppleCae+, the exchange cost is $29.
Taking the iPod apart means that Apple will not longer exchange i.

I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.

I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.

I previously downloaded a trial version of Adobe Pro and had used it the last 30 days. Today I just clicked on the link from my purchase confirmation and downloaded some type of installer. Once I clicked on the installer and gave it permission to do whatever it needed to do, it just sort of stalled. I am running Mac OS Yosemite. I thought Yosemitie might be part of the problem because it has given me occasional problems with Word and some other programs.

Since yesterday I have been unable to use FaceTime across all my Apple devices: Iphone 5s, MAC Notebook, and Ipad Mini. It does not connect nor make the ringing sound. Why is this and how can it be fixed?

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

have purchased adobe photoshop elements 13 from amazon and have been unable to find a 24 alpha numeric access code on box or on disc sleeve, need your help

do you have a white box inside the outer box and containing the disc sleeve/disc? In my case, it was on the white box. For Photoshop elements it is all numeric and starts with 1057.
