Not happy with Safari upgrade
Just had a 10.8 upgrade which included a new Safari.
The Safari doesn’t work like the last version.
1. When I launch Safari it opens with Top Sites rather then with Yahoo, even though it's listed as my home page.
2. When I go to Bookmarks, it opens in a tabs, which is annoying.
Are there any changes I can make to correct them?
Thanks
To set Yahoo as your default page:
Open Safari's Preferences. In the General tab, there is a drop-down menu with the title "New tabs open with". Simply click and select "homepage" (make sure of course that Yahoo's URL is listed in the box below)
I'm looking for a fix for the second issue, will come back if I find one.
Hope this helps!

I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten
1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi. -
After upgrading my iphone 4 to io6 i started loosing the historical sms messages from some senders including new ones received as soon as I open the message app. I am not happy with io6. please advise how i could downgrade to io5.1.1.
I have read a number of other threads regarding the loss of Messages, however, I am not aware of the reason it is happening. Check on the right side of this message under more like this and see if you can find an answer.
As to your question about downgrading software, there is no Apple supported method for downgrading software. -
I upgraded to OS X Mavericks. I am not happy with it. How do I delete it? Thanks
I recently downloaded OS X Maverecks. I am not happy with it. How do I delete it and go back to my original setup? Thanks
JB6569,
do you have a Time Machine backup of your MacBook Pro from before you’d installed Mavericks? If so, you can restore from that backup.
If you don’t have a pre-Mavericks backup, then first I’d recommend purchasing an external drive onto which you can make a Time Machine backup of what you currently have installed. Once you’ve made a backup, or if you’ve decided that you don’t need to preserve your data, you’ll need to boot into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as you start up your MacBook Pro. When you see the Mac OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility and use it to erase your MacBook Pro’s internal disk. After restarting, OS X Internet Recovery will let you download your MacBook Pro’s originally installed version of OS X (Lion) from Apple’s servers, and will then proceed to install it. Once it’s been installed, you can then restore your data (if any) from the Time Machine backup. -
Not happy with moving around keys on the timeline
I just changed from Final Cut to Premiere CS5.0 and I really like it. Working on a Macbook Pro i5 2.3GHZ, Mac OSX 10.7 But I am not happy with moving around on the timeline. I was used to using the up and down arrows to move to next video edit point, marker point or audio edit point. I tried everything to change it, highlighted the track etc. It only works together with the FN key, which is a bit uncomfortable. And then it definetely is not going to any audio edit points (very annoying!!!) and marker points (have to use Q and W keys). It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not. Its such an esencial and easy to use tool while editing in a normal fast editing rythm. When I change it in the customize keyboard menu, into a Custom keyboard or FCP keyboard, it would ignore my changes on the arrowkeys, although it recognizes any other changes I do. Is it so complicate to change this issue in Premiere to how it is set in FCP? Its such an obvious tool, using the arow keys to move around, cannot beleive that we have to live with such a limitation. Please!!!

You dont have to live with that at all if you are fixed only to what you have previously done.
It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not.
There ya go! -
ADE 1.7.2 not compatible with Safari 5.0.3 on Leopard (10.5.8)?
I cannot download a URLLink.acsm file with Safari 5.0.3, even after creating a com.apple.DownloadAssessment.plist file and adding "acsm" under "LSRiskCategoryExtensions" as suggested in the release notes for ADE 1.7.2 (Dated February 2010)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/806/cpsid_80635.html
as well as the comment to the following blog post cited therein and restarting the computer:
http://mymacinations.com/2008/02/06/changing-the-systems-default-settings-for-html-files-s afe/
I have to locate the file in "Download" folder download with FireFox while online and double-click it to open it with ADE 1.7.2.
In contrast, FireFox 3.6.13 installed on the same Mac (MacBook early 2009, MacOS 10.5.8) can download the a URLLink.acsm file without any trouble and prompts me to open it with ADE.
The system requirements for ADE 1.7.2 states that it supports the following browsers and Adobe Flash Versions on Mac:
Apple Safari 4, Mozilla Firefox 3
Adobe Flash® Player 9 or 10
Does my trouble mean that ADE 1.7.2 released February 2010 is not compatible with Safari 5 released in June 2010?
When will ADE be compatible with the latest version of Safari?ios 6 requires itunes 10.6.3 or higher which requires Mac OS 10.6.8 or higher

I am so not happy with the new changes especially when it come to the ability to change background colours, fonts and font sizes/ colours... Does Apple really think that their only audience is the young cool crowd or people who do not have a visual impairment. Think before you make changes to your software and programs. You WILL lose more people to androids if you continue this way.
At least give users the ability to make apps like notes their owned by allowing them to pick the style, theme, background and colour, font size and colour.
A very ****** off Apple user who is now looking at Androids.Hi Tricia,
I'm sorry but I don't see an ideal way to do this. Is it the yellow label text, e.g: "New" against the white background which is causing the difficulty?
The only way I've found of getting the colors to change in Notes is via Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors but then it looks like something has barfed all over your screen.
I'd be very, very surprised if Apple do not fix this, firstly because I believe "Accessibility" is a legal matter and secondly because they will not want to cause difficulty for their customers. We have to remember that this is a major, major overhaul of iOS, it has essentially been taken back to the drawing board and done from scratch again, it may take a little time, but I'm sure they will fix these issues.

Uploading files to website not working with Safari in Windows 7
Safari version: 5.1.7
OS: Windows 7
Hi,
I am a website owner, and I have a feature on my site where users can upload large (up to 50MB) music files to my server. The feature works in Firefox on OSX & Windows platforms and it also works in Safari on OSX. The uploading feature is not working with Safari for Windows. Do you have any idea why and how to fix this? It can't be an issue with my server as it works in other browsers fine and works fine in Safari for OS X.
If you have any information on how to solve this or things for me to try to rectify this for use with Windows operating system it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.GREAT NEWS!!!!
I have solved this issue myself with some help from my a user on Microsoft Forums. The issue stems from the mime type of each Browser Chrome, IE, & Safari for Windows defaults as audio/wav. When the mime type is changed to audio/x-wav everything works. Firefox defaults to audio/x-wav and when changed to audio/wav it DOES NOT work.
Once I input some code in my .php upload page to change the mimetype if audio/wav is detected everything works GREAT!!!
So Here is what you need to do: Find your upload page and input this code:
echo "<p>MIME Type: ".$_FILES["file"]["type"]."</p>";
right before your "If/then" statement of file type. For me it was near line 30 in my upload.php page, but I'm sure this is different for everyone.
This will detect and DISPLAY the default mime type of your browser on the error page when your upload doesn't work. Once you know what mime type works for your file type then you can change your "if/then" statement for mime type upload to change your mime type to the correct one.
I don't want to give the code here, because I'm sure it's specific to your file types and your site construction, but this should lead you on the right track.
***This is the solution if you ARE NOT ABLE to upload any certain file in a certain Browser. It has to do with mime type construction***
I hope this helps others like it helped me!!!!! -
Re: not happy with layout of components
I have written the front end of a banking application.

Any suggestion?

Adobe Flash Player does not work with Safari. What can I do?
Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro, Retina, 15 inch, late 2013, 2 GHz Intel Core i7, using OS X 10.9.4. I have installed Adobe Flash Player. In my System Preference, in the advanced settings, it is set to install updates also tells me that I have the NPAPI Plug-in (version 14.0.0.145) installed but not the PPAPI Plug-in. Is this the reason why it does not work with Safari (keeps telling me to download the app, which I did but still does not work)? Is there any way I could fix the problem? Please, help.
Thanks.If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them. -

Is there a way to get a refund if you're not happy with Logic X?
I recently bought Logic X and am just not happy with it. Its not for me and I was hoping that maybe I could just return it. Is there a way to go about this?
No....
The terms and conditions you agreed to when you bought a license to use Logic Pro X from the App Store do not allow/provide for refunds under such circumstances. Please note the part about you puchasing a license to use Logic Pro X. This is also why you cannot sell Logic Pro X to another person.... because you didn't buy and own Logic Pro X in the first place... but instead you bought a license to use it... and so you cannot sell it or transfer those rights to another person.
Now, depending on when you bought your license... you could contact Apple themselves and plead your case...For example, if you bought it by mistake a couple of days ago... and didn't intend to do so... Apple will normally refund your costs... but based on past examples.. if you 'bought' Logic Pro X more than a week ago, you aren't going to get a refund simply because you are "not happy with it".
Bear in mind at all times you are not entitled to a refund because of the terms and conditions under which you purchased the license in the first place... and so Apple don't have to do anything if they choose not to do so.
Finally, you may also want to read the following.. to understand why posting here is "not contacting Apple directly"

I have a ipad 2 and it does not connect with safari using 3G
Sorry to hear you are having issues, but there are 2 ways you can print from that device.
The first one is to simply email photos or documents to your printers email address by attaching them to a new message.
The other option is to download the HP ePrint Home and Biz app from Google Play. The app is free and should allow you to print pictures and documents to the printer with ease. I have added a link below on how to get started with this app.
