My search box (top right) changed from Yahoo to Google when i updated Firefox. Google isn't listed in the dropdown menu as an option, so how do I get it back?

I'm guessing this is an extension add-on issue, but don't know why it went away. When I go to "manage search engines" and then "get more search engines" i see a ton of options. i just want the simple google search I used to have.
Please let me know where that is.
thanks,

That didn't seem to do it, I got a notification at the bottom of the page that said any attempt to change it has been blocked. But I found that there was a small window open for toolbar options and there was a box that was checked that said something like "allow no changes to default searchbar" or something. I unchanged it and then changed the search engine like normal and restarted the browser to check and it worked!
Thank you very much!

  • I've just found the keyboard shortcut in Garageband for 'copy region' had changed from cmdC to ctrlC. I went to Preferences and clicked Restore Defaults for shortcuts. Now its altC . How can I get it back to the original commands.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • I have changed country (which was a painful process in its own right) and now can't find my purchases, and when I try to download them again (as per the instructions) they no longer are available - how do I get them back??

    Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005? I move countries for work regularly and now Iphones detect that you are not in the home country and make life very difficult, so you have to either register the new country and download all new songs again (a complete waste of time and energy) or not be able to update the Apps on the phone. Help - there must be an easier way!! (??) I took what I thought was the least painful option and changed country so I could get the apps on my phone, but lost my songs. This is pathetic for a the new Global world we live in...

    "Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
    They will only be where you put them  If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
    The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country.  You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

  • Recently had to purchase a replacement phone a friend of mine had backed up the data on the lost phone to his Mac laptop how do I get that backed up data from the lost iPhone that's on his Mac laptop to my new replacement phone? Please give step by step

    And my iTunes sign in is also screwed up... It is underneath my friends email (the one with my backed up data on his Mac laptop) HOW DO I CHANGE THIS SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD APP's again...

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • I was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back????

    i was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back???? please

    Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
    But most likely those pics are gone.
    What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

    Look above at my original post:
    Downgrade Mavericks to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
          from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
          Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
          the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

  • My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving just the songs I recently purchased (9).  How can I get them back?  I've tried redownloading them but it didn't work.

    My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving only the 9 songs I last purchased.  When I try to sync, I get a message, "cannot be synced because the iPod cannot be found." 

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

  • The CONTENT tab has NOTHING in it, how can I get it back to change settings?

    Under Tools - Options - Content: The screen has no options, the screen is blank. How can I get it back so I can change the settings for pop-up blockers and such? This is driving me CRAZY!!!!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • In the top right corner of my i phone screen there is a small padlock with a circle around it, what is this for and how do i get rid of it,, it has only just popped up

    in the top right corner of my iphone screen there is a small padlock with a circle around it, what is this for and how do i get rid of it, it has just popped up...

    That is the orientation lock indicator. It means that you phone will not go into landscape mode when tilted on it's side.
    To turn orientation lock off double tap the home button, to access the multitasking menu, then swipe your finger to the right over the multitasking bar at the bottom and touch the big button on the left with the padlock.

  • One of my notes has vanished from my iphone as I was adding to it.  It is not on my phone or on icloud.  How can I get it back?

    I was typing to add to the note when a message box flashed up - something about reaching a quota, I think, then the note flashed off and the screen returned to the home screen.  When I went to open the note up again it had completely vanished.
    I've searched the phone, and checked icloud - it is not there.
    This may or may not be relevant - my icloud storagr has been full or nearly full off and on for weeks.  I thought this might be what the message was about when I lost the note, so I purchased more icloud storage hoping that it would sort the problem and restore my missing note.  It didn't.
    The note is my 'to do' list so it's really important that I get it back!
    I can't seem to find where to ask for help from apple support without paying money for it!
    I was under the impression that anything on my phone can't be lost as it is sent to icloud.  I no longer synch to my computer.
    Does anybody know how my note could have just disappeared and of anywhere I can look for it?  I would be massively grateful for any help.
    Thanks.

    Whoa whoa no need to go restoring stuff yet, once you've done that check to verify you have done what Overlook2011  IF that doesn't work for calendars ensure your default account for calendars is set to iCloud and in calendars that it is told to "Show all calendars"

  • Mac does not transfer data from external hard drive when first set up and isn't listed on migration assistant

    I've just had a new hard drive in my MacBook, luckily I had backed up everything on my external hard drive.
    I've just got home and my MacBook set up as a new one and asked me if I wanted to transfer my old data from an external device. I clicked this option, and a box appeared with me to choose my device so I plugged it in and nothing. It was not listed so I couldn't continue. I clicked go back to continue without transferring any data and tried to use migration assistant. I plugged in my external HD again and it was recognised on the desktop with me being able to open it and see my old document, folders and iTunes etc.
    I went on to migration assistant and that came up with much the same choice as the first time so I chose the option again to transfer information from my "other device" again there was an empty box so I cannot choose my device.
    I then thought maybe I would need to install snow leopard again as when I got the computer back it was only running leopard and when I previously backed up my mac it was running snow leopard.
    So I've now got in my snow leopard disk and put in my password to install leopard and it's not installing!
    I'm very frustrated and now it's too late to call apple!
    Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to go back to the store again as its 30 miles away!
    Thankyou
    Vicki

    Thanks for the quick reply, Kappy.  I did use Carbon Copy Cloner.  When I returned the cloned data to the new hard drive I tried starting the computer and I got the logo and the spinning gear.  It did not go any further.  I also tried starting in safe mode and it would not go to safe mode.  I have other bootable volumes on the external drive that I cloned the data to.  When I tried migration assistant it would not list the volume that I cloned from the failed hard drive.  I can see the users desk top, documents, pictures from the cloned drive.

  • I have changed my Apple ID on my iPad, but my iPhone keeps popping up with the old ID.....how do I get all my devices to use the same ID?

    How can I get all my devices to use the same Apple ID?

    Different services on your iOS device (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud, iTunes and App Store) can be signed into with an Apple ID of your choice. Make sure you verify the settings for each device and that you are signed in to each service with the correct Apple ID.
    I'll do an example for iMessage:
    1) Go to settings on your iOS device
    2) Select "Messages"
    3) Select "Send & Receive"
    4) At the very top you will see "Apple ID", by selecting your Apple ID, you will now have the option to sign out of messages with the current Apple ID, and sign in with the new one.
    The steps for changing your Apple ID for other services will be very similar.
    tHIS SHOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TOO YOU.
