This is my 1st BB and I think its great just having a little trouble getting uses to it.

The Browser can also be set as a permanent change via:
Homescreen: Settings (or Options) | Advanced Options | Browser
Change 'Default Browser Configuration' to the required Browser.
BIS Browser - 'Internet Browser'
BES Browser - 'BlackBerry Browser'
KB04682 on the BlackBerry knowledgebase explains the Automatic opening of Messages as mentioned above. This is a by design feature.

Assuming you're using Safari, with Safari running open Safari's Preferences (Preferences in the Safari menu). Go to the Appearance tab, and set the ones you want.
Assuming you're using Mail, open Mail's Preferences (Preferences in the Mail menu). Go to the Fonts & Colors tab, and set the ones you want.

Gnome: browser and mail starting by accident while scrolling

I notice a strange behavior of gnome. While I scroll my mouse (or do the same with the touchpad), the default applications for browsing and mails start up. It seems to happen by accident. This happens on both laptops I own that run arch.
I have absolute no idea what is happening here.

Safari Browser and Mail App cannot be opened.

After I turn off my iPod Touch and start up again, Safari browser and my Mail App crashes every time I open it. I tried to reboot the device again, and it did not work. I'm going to have to restore, but my question is:
What are the reasons for this? This has never happen to me before.
Replies appreciated.

Almost all the times things like that just happens and they seldom return. If i keeps recurring after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem.

How to stop browser and mail applications opening automatically at start up

Since upgrading to Lion, Firefox, Mail and Hogwasher (a newsreader application) all open automatically when the computer starts up. I don't want or need this to happen but cannot find any way of preventing it. I have checked my user login items, but none of these apps is among those listed. Any suggestions why this is happening and how I can change it?

Question about iCloud and mail

I totally do not understand all of this iCloud stuff. I hope you can help me. I have a .mac account that I know can be pushed to the Cloud. In the Mail Program I have two other accounts with different providers. One is an IMAP and the other a POP account that I understand can be changed to an IMAP account. I get e-mail from all three accounts in Mail. Is the Cloud only for .mac or me accounts? Will my other accounts be in the Cloud as well? If not, will I still be able to read my e-mails in Mail on both my computer and iPad? Also if I switch over to iCloud, does every device have to be synced the same way? I have a Nano and iPad. I do not want my music synced to my iPad. I only want it synced to my Nano. Will I never be able to sync with iTunes once I switch to the Cloud?

I understand about the POP account. Will the .mac account and my other IMAP account show up separately as two different accounts in iCloud as they do in Mail or will they be merged together? Will I even be using Mail to view my e-mail? I never attached my two other accounts to my .mac account. They remained separate accounts and were viewed separately in Mail. I have had my .mac account for several years and know that I will lose it if I do not convert over to iCloud by the end of June. I mainly used it for Mail and the iDisk. I have an iPad, Nano and iMac. If I can still sync my IPad and Nano via iTunes, is it worth all of the trouble people are having with iCloud to convert over to it? I do not use ICal and have a very small address book. Will I be okay with what little I have or would it just be better to let go of my .mac account and not merge over to iCloud at all or will i eventually be forced to do it? I also have another iMac that is running Snow Leopard. I am sorry I am so ignorant about this. I just don't understand it all.

When I try to open any file in bridge my only options are a web browser and mail program

I am using CS6 and am a member of creative cloud. When I open bridge and click on a file it tries to open in mail. I went to preferaces and looked file typ assosiations and had none by every file type I changed ai files to illustrator so that works now. Is their a way that I can just reinstall it so they are all their. If I click reset associations it does nothing except remove illustrator from ai files.

You can uninstall and run Adobe Scrlpt Cleaner, then reinstall. That works for most people.
If you are confrotable with going into the registry, and you have Win7 you can try this.
Go into the Registry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and change the (Default) from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" (so changed CS5 to CS6) - and should see 'Adobe Photoshop CS6' in 'Open with' list when right-clicking an image...

Entering text in the browser and mail is very slow

Typing has a severe lag time in mail and browser

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Safari and Mail Questions

I have short of a million questions... I would like to focus on a few that will impact me immediately when I receive my MacBook Pro and start using Safari and Mail.
First off...although I am using Chrome from my current PC laptop to write this topic I notice that Chrome for some reason is not spell checking as I write. This is strange as I thought Chrome spell checked everything--but maybe that is so only if I'm using Chrome's default editor when composing? So I see how to toggle a spellchecker ON but there doesn't seem to be any functionality with it to add a word or select a word spelled correctly. The word 'formating' gets underlined but doesn't suggest why? I hate the feeling that I might be going 'backwards'.
1. Does Safari and Mail come with built-in spell checkers that work as you type and/or at least review using F7 before sending? If not are there 1st or 3rd party apps/plugins that will do this?
2. Does Safari have a built-in Preview option that works similar to M$'s IE9 browser (which btw does not spell check) where you can highlight text you want to print; enter the Preview window; view how the highlighted text will appear; resize it if desired; enter the printer preferences to select automatic double-sided printing which my printer does; and finally print? If Safari cannot do this directly is there an app/plugin that will?
My underlying goal is to use what comes with the Pro and _not_ to end up with a couple different browsers and email programs. On the fly spell checking and print formating what I want to print are two very important functions for me and I would like to know my options _before_ I buy the computer because one bottom line for me is not the hardware I use and take for granted but the software programs that I directly interface with daily. In a way Safari and Mail are more important then the Pro. In still other words I'm taking advantage of the need to get new computer hardware to end up with better capability. I have to do enough homework to know up front that I won't be regretting the change.
Thank you.
I don't even have the MacBook yet and I'm already frustrated with Apple just getting through this post on their support forum!

3. Does Mail introduce an ad at the bottom of ever email sent like Gmail does or is it ad free?
Just figured out that on a misspelled word you first have to toggle the spell checker to get words underlined in red; then left click to highlight to get suggestions. But the suggestions do not include adding a properly spelled word to a dictionary--I don't like that. I sure expect better from Safari and Mail.

Questions on privacy and safari, browser history; top sites; private browsi

In one thread someone suggested that those concerned about the privacy of their web browsing and its history try Private Browsing. What are the consequences of Private Browsing? Does Private Browsing interfere with some of the web page features or javascript from working when I'm trying to access a page that has java or Flash? Will my bank's website load ok etc? I guess I was a little worried it would stop the showing of the last page visited and if so then hopefully that won't stop some sites from functioning.
Is Private Browsing the best way to go all around for those concerned about privacy loss in Safari or does it not really help much? I wonder why it isn't the default.
I want to be able to use my browser to access sites that don't load well when I use Firefox with NoScript, such as bank sites, but I do not want my browsing history to stay in view constantly, and I'm also upset at seeing it want to "learn" my browsing habits and try to suggest sites for me without my setting it to do this.
For this reason I will be setting Firefox or any other browser I feel is more private than Safari, possibly Camino, to be my default browser. I will probably only be using Safari when a site won't work without it, same as when I used to settle for Internet Explorer on my windows computer when Firefox didn't work.
I'm also concerned that I can't get that Google search bar out of my browser. I don't want Google keeping tabs of every site I visit. I'm not sure if Google has access to tracking every place I go if I never put any text into the Google search bar or how far into bed with Google Apple has now gone but I'm afraid of the privacy invasion possibilities.
Perhaps Google gets no info if I do not type anything into the google search bar. I wish I could drag it off the menu bar however. (If I want to go to google, I know how to type google.com for crying out loud).
I hope Apple will hold the line on its partners re: privacy in products like iPhone and Safari that work with its partners regardless of their tendencies to disrespect privacy.
Does anyone know if the fact that this Safari software wants to learn what my favorite sites are affects outside parties including Apple, Google, and/or others possibly getting access to info on my browsing habits?
If i allow the Top Sites page to work, will it just be something I MYSELF have access to the info on or are the URLs of my favorite sites reported to Apple, Google, or others?
Does hitting RESET clear things out in this regard? I'd like to use these tools if I could be sure that using Safari doesn't turn the computer into a spyware tool for outside entities, commercial interests and governmental interests to mine data from.

Hello r:
If you think Safari, Firefox, or anything else will mask your browsing habits from someone who really wants to know, you are not being realistic.
I tend to discount justifications of privacy encroachments I sometimes encounter to the effect of "snooping is done by certain commercial and governmental parties as the way things 'just are', so shut up and don't worry". Customers who do not air their concerns and questions cannot have any expectation that the developer will be aware of their concern if they sit mute.
I sometimes pay for additional software to protect my privacy. I also use Firefox with Noscript and adblocking third party software rather than just sit with what the big corporations leave me with; there is a third party program for Safari I tried called PithHelmet for example, but then it seemed to not be loaded with the new Safari update and its developer dud not provide me any communication (although I got help here on how to find the program so I could remove it); so I may not use Safari as much compared to whatever browser I find has better privacy and security measures.
If you go to the Safari help menu and enter +"private browsing,"+ you will find a complete description of what that function does for you. In answer to one of your questions, it is not a default because one loses a good deal of functionality. I would be most perturbed if that was made the default.
Ok, I will try to learn the functionalities lost, thanks.
You can set the history to be deleted after one day (or longer). If you are concerned, it is quite easy to clear history before you sign off.<</div>
I've been using RESET to clear my history in the past; I assume it still works although Reset doesn't seem to permanently make certain cookies with future expiration dates go away permanently, which I find come back later even without my visiting a site for weeks and this was happening in the previous version of Safari too.
You can remove the Google search box (or anything else) from the menu bar. Right click on it. One option is +"remove item."+
That doesn't work in terms of just removing the Google search bar at the top right, I see.
I did not want to lose my blank for typing a URL; I only want the thing out to the right that says Google on it, which seems to use Google's search engine to go away. I certainly hope that every time I type a URL into the blank at the left top (which is not the part over to the top right that says Google and a magnifying glass) that I'm not having Google track my URLs I visit like they would if I put a search term into the blank at the top right, but maybe it does since the two are forcibly linked.
I guess I'd have to try Command L - Open Location in the Find menu if I want to try to go to a URL without using the URL blank at the top left I normally type in. I would only want to go to that trouble if typing in the top left blank for URLs results in Google tracking my URL visits like they certainly would if I typed in the top right google tool bar and hopefully Open Location does not result in the same issue.
if i allow the Top Sites page to work, will it just be something I MYSELF have access to the info on or are the URLs of my favorite sites reported to Apple, Google, or others?
I seriously doubt that Apple (or anyone else) is "reporting" anything about you to anyone. As you are no doubt aware, most web sites store cookies on your system when you visit that site. The information stored varies, but you can, of course, block cookies if you wish.
I have the ability to block cookies, and I use Noscript a lot too with Firefox (although that set up does not always work with a few webpages here and there, so sometimes I have to use Safari or Camino). I use Safari less and less because there is no Noscript type of third party software for it. The only time I feel I have no choice but to use Safari on my Mac is when I go to my Mobileme account.
My concern is of Top Sites "learning" my favorite sites and displaying to me the names of a lot of suggested URLs, as to who else is receiving that data; hopefully no one. Maybe I'll get to where i find info explaining that Apple and Google aren't collecting data about my "top sites" if I use that feature.
It's just that there has been an increasing amount of privacy intrusion in the commercial realm combined with a corporate arrogance in terms treating consumers as though there is no need to make any assurances or explanations to consumers to help them trust the privacy. Instead we get browbeaten by various parties about how stupid or obvious we are if we ask a question to remind the corporation it's an issue to those of us who want to feel comfortable with the privacy of the software we use.
I'll try to use the Feedback form to ask as well.
At the risk of stating the obvious, it is quite easy to find out all sorts of information about an individual if one is interested. If you are really concerned, I suggest you severely limit your use of the Internet.
I may well limit my use of the internet if what you say is true that there is no way to do any reading on the internet without being spied on by commercial and governmental interests.
thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by the 'apple support contact wont open' (?). If you mean the 'contact iTunes Store support' link on the page that you posted from I've just tried it and it seems to wok ok for me, though I haven't gone as far as to actually contact them.
You can contact either iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps on the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

You turn private browsing off on the Safari page. Tap the + sign in the upper right corner, then tap private in the lower left corner. You know you're in private when the top of the screen is dark.

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field. The screen that opens up has your bookmarks on it. In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'. Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off. Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work. This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.
