Recently my default program for opening any program changed to opening a safari browser for Dropbox. How do I set it back to iBooks?

On both my iPad (which had Dropbox) and my wife's (which does not) any file we click to open the current default is to open a safari browser and attempt to sign into Dropbox. I want to restore iBooks as my default but can't find any info on how. Any help out there is really appreciated!

Sorry for being vague. When I click to open a document in safari, rather than opening the document for me to view, it instead opens up a new window asking me to log into Dropbox to view the file. When I click and hold on link the file now starts with a drop box web address (regardless of website) forcing me to only use this avenue. I have cleared all cookies and data and still have this occur... Hence my comment that somehow Dropbox has become my default viewer for any files. This occurs on my iPad which has the application and my wife's which does not have the program but  shares my Apple ID. I am trying to restore the default settings in safari to open documents in iBooks or other programs and not force me to use Dropbox.

  • I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files?

    You cannot have two different TC setups.. at least until Mountain Lion.. it did introduce some changes but I am not sure if you can setup two different configurations for TM.. you can use two different devices to back up to. I doubt this will help you.
    You might be better using a real backup software.. superduper, CCC, chronosync etc.
    The TC by default is available to any Mac in the network to do backups. TM will sort itself out and put each computer on a different backup. These are kept in separate sparsebundles.. so that is all fine.

  • I lost itunes on my computer and lost downloaded content that I payed for. How do I get it back?

    I lost itunes on my computer and lost downloaded content that I payed for. How do I get it back?

    When you say that you lost iTunes do you just mean the program or your content ? Have you checked to see if the content is still on your computer but not in iTunes ?
    If not then do you not have a backup of your purchases on, for example, external drives or CDs or DVDs ? If you have then you can copy that onto your computer and add it back into iTunes. If you havn't then if they are still available in the iTunes store (and content is occasionally removed so you should make/maintain your own backups and not rely on re-downloading) and if you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them, then you should be able to re-download apps and ibooks, and if you are in the US music and TV shows, for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you are not in the US and you want to re-download music or tv shows then you can try contacting Apple and asking for a re-download, but they are under no obligation to let you : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/contact/

    I have a couple of articles for you that should help you troubleshoot your issue with Safari. First, you may want to try a reset on Safari by following the procedure listed in this article:
    Safari 5.1 (OS X Lion): Reset Safari
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5043
    If you are still having issues after resetting Safari, you may want to check out this article about third-party add-ons in Safari:

  • After downloading OS X I can't find any of my photos I had on my mac. How do I get them back?

    After downloading OS X I can't find any of my photos I had on my mac. How do I get them back?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • HT5569 How do I set iphone back to default or factory setting?

    How do I set iphone back to default or factory setting?

    There's some confusion here. Do you mean the code to visit settings/general/restrictions, or the Apple ID and password to deactivate Activation Lock? Here's how to test.
    First, go to settings/General/Restrictions. Do you need to enter a 4 digit code? If you do, then connect the phone to your computer and restore the phone from Recovery Mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
    If no code is required to get into Restrictions what you need is the Apple ID and passcode that was used to set Find my iPhone. To verify that this is what is needed go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and passcode. If you don't have them your phone is permanently disabled. You can contact Apple Account Security to prove you are the owner of the Apple ID and get the password reset. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

    Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
    There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
    Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
    Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

    as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

    IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083  then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
    If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

    If you had a paid product such as Acrobat Pro, re-download, install, and activate it with your serial number.
    If you used an Acrobat.com online service, just sign in with your Adobe ID.

    What do you mean it's lost?  Did you actually put it on the new computer?
    Simply installing iTunes and logging into your account does not cause content to magically appear.
