No icon for web address

i recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountian Lion. Now the web address shows when I go to a website. However, none of my bookmarks show the related icon for that website. Any suggestions?

Sig is right, but since it's quick and simple:
You'll need to call up all the websites to have the (fav)icons updated. Or the other way around, Safari shows only (fav)icons of sites which provide one and have been loaded.

Since installing firefox, none of my dscktop icons for web page short cuts work. Why?

None of my desktop icon short cuts for web pages work since I installed firefox.
Why?
Can you help me with this?

You can check for issues with the Windows icon cache and try to rebuild the icon cache.
# Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
# In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
# Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
# Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
# Select the IconCache.db file and use "Delete" in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
# After the IconCache.db file has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
The IconCache.db file is a hidden file, so make sure that you can see hidden files.

Clickable Hyperlink for Web Address Link in e-mail

It turns out that you CAN put a clickable hyper link into an e-mail message. Starting from a message (you are not on the web page) go to the relevant web page and select the entire addresss including http and pull that into the clipboard.
On the text of the message body, select Edit and Add Hyperlink from the top menu bar. You will get a dialogue box that asks for the web address. Paste the web address there and Enter. Maybe V 10.5 might be more straight forward?
From the actual web page, Hold down the Apple and Shift keys at the same time and press i. It starts a new blank e-mail message and the web address appears as a blue highlited Hyperlink.
Tech Support showed me No. 1 above.

Generally speaking, the term hyperlink is used for click HERE using HERE for the hidden URL address or link instead of just providing the URL address or link - http://www.apple.com/
As Michael provided, a URL address only or link which requires including http:// does not become active with a Mail.app message until the sending process. When including a URL address only, check the copy of the Sent message. The link will be active.
Hyperlinks in a Mail.app message are active before the message is sent.

SSL Certificate setup for Web/Address Book/iCal in 10.7 Lion?

I know nothing about certificates. I plan to use my Mini server to help manage my family's computers which are pretty spread out across the U.S. My plan is to use profile manager for device management, host a couple websites (one secure for home security cams) and share address books and calendars. This is as much a geek gadget project as it is "useful" so I understand I may be creating some work for myself
Anyway, can someone walk me through the correct setup for certificates? My research is showing me a LOT of options/parameters. Due to the expense, i don't want to create one just to find it won't serve my purposes.
Also, I think i'm going with RapidSSL...$50 is the cheapest I've come across...hopefully the offer what I need?

I have just spent 30 minutes on the phone to a pleseant chap in Athens, and now have a solution.
We tried several options and the final one worked - so simple.
Click on the apple symbol > system preferences > iCloud > disable contact sync > keep contacts
Check search, in my case it worked for the first time in several weeks :-)
then re-enable contact sync as follows:
Click on the apple symbol > system preferences > iCloud > re-tick contacts > merge contacts
Search still works
Hallelujah!

Icon in web address bar?

I find those little icons helpful when quickly looking in my bookmarks to click on one. Ever since leopard they are not there (just little blue globes). Sometimes one or two will pop up, then they are gone the next time...
How do I make them all show up, and stay?

There is probably a bunch of links or video that is still loading. Nothing to really worry about.

Can not log icons for web sites

I am unable to attach icons to Facebook, Youtube, Linkedin, and Twitter

Those images have a backslash (shown by Firefox as %5C) instead of a forward slash in the URL:

Should be:

Redirecting a web address

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me?
I've bought a web address for my family website and want to direct it to my .mac website. When I emailed the address people (sorry, don't know the technical term) re this they replied:
"Thanks for your email. With a domain with DNS order we can only make changes to the DNS. This means that we can only point your website to an IP address of your host. In this case it would be an IP address for web.mac.com. It would then be up to that host to make the appropriate changes to direct
any request for (web address I've bought) to (my web.mac site address) which is generally something a service provider will not do."
Er, I've no idea what I need to do next - I've had a quick look at help but have been unable to find anything (though I will carry on looking). Do I need to email someone at mac to get them to redirect from web.mac.com to my personal site?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you
Nikki

Who did you buy your domain name from? This is the first time I've ever heard of one of these companies refusing to point your domain to the specific url.

Where is a sites web address found, it mut be entered in the exceptions window under pop-up.

Tools-Options- pop-up- exceptions. Panel asks for web address. Where is it? Recent Firefox up grade removed the line from the top of the page.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4+ 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)

I have set up an icloud account and would now like to use it. Is there an icon for my desk top and phone or do I have to use a web address to get to it every time?

I have set .up an icloud account. Now I would like to use it and want to know the easiest way to access it Can I put an icon on my Iphone and desktop? Do I haveto type in the web address everytime? I would also like to add a couple more calanders and email accounts to my account.

An iCloud email account is accessed with the iPhone's Mail app as an IMAP account. Contacts are synced with the Contacts app on your iPhone, calendar events are synced with the Calendar app, and notes are synced with the Notes app, etc.
On your desktop, you can add a bookmark with your browser and/or add a webclip to your Desktop for the website if you plan on accessing the account via webmail, or the email account can be created/accessed as an IMAP account with an email client on your computer.

Changing the icon for saved Web links.

Im trying out different forum topics to see if anyone can help and I thought this would be a cool thing to do and might be doable with an applescript.
I save a lot of web address as files to go back to later and I find the default @ icon for firefox or the blank icon for safari pretty appalling. I was wondering if there was a way to change the icon so that when ever I save a new link file it would use the new icon. I was thinking about just an icon that has the Firefox, safari, chrome logo would be good or even better a little picture preview of the web page its self. Any help on this little idea I have is very appreciated
I really like the idea of a page preview for weblink files. Like this ( http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a238/Nuclearanthrax/Screenshot2010-09-02at1021 41PM.png )
I completely understand a straight up no answer to this. I have no idea how applescript works. I have used it very few times.

Pierre,
I tried this AppleScript but it was not working. Is there something that I need to check.
I had a few web link files in a folder and the script RAN the INFO window popped up but nothing changed.
This would be a valuable tool for me an my students,
Thanks in advance
Joe

The following script should do part of what you are asking for. However, since it uses [GUI Scripting|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html], you must first enable the Accessibility Frameworks by clicking the checkbox labeled "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access System Preference pane.
Just copy and paste the script into the AppleScript Editor window and click the Run button.

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But wont work anywhere now

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But won't work anywhere now. I tried re-setting but has not worked. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

How do I find the web address for an encapsulated steam?

I recently saw a tip somewhere on how to do this, but I can't remember where. Basically you did something to find the actual web address of a stream and then you could paste this address in your regular address bar. Then you could use the activity window and save the stream to disk.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

Amber,
I remember reading that tip too, but I cannot find it after a quick search. Was it something to do with searching for the actual URL in the source code for the page (View>View Source)? I'll post back if I come up with the post. I'd like to be able to do this too.
By the way, if you want to record the audio stream, you can use an app such as Audio Hijack: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/
or Wiretap:

Can "Save for Web" generate a thumbnail instead of an icon?

Can "Save for Web" generate a thumbnail instead of an icon? Or can the icon be replaced by a thumbnail? Thanks.

I don't think Save for Web embeds any icons or thumbnails, because the whole point of Save for Web is to keep the file size down as much as possible for Web use by not including anything except the image and some text metadata that you choose. If you're seeing a thumbnail or icon, it was probably generated by your operating system and may only be local to your desktop.
If you do want to embed a thumbnail or icon into a JPEG file, you might get one by choosing File > Save As instead. The Save As command is intended to give you the most complete file possible, where Save for Web is designed to give you the smallest file possible.
