Safari 5.1: Can't make Bookmarks page the Homepage any more?

With Safari 5.0, in General Prefrences, I had typed in "bookmarks:" as my homepage, which allowed me to type Shift-CMD-H or click the Home button to return to a window with all my bookmarks listed, ready to be clicked again.
With Safari 5.1, inserting "bookmarks:" just brings up a blank page (although opening a new window with CMD-N will bring it). When on my Bookmarks page, the "Set to current page" isn't selectable in the General Preferences.
So somewhere along the line, the link to the bookmarks file has been changed. Does anyone now know what I need to type in to make it findable again by Safari?
Many thanks.

Hi H_Starman,
thanks for your reply but unfortunately that wasn't the problem.
I do already have "Bookmarks" selected in both "New windows open with ..." and "New tabs open with ..." but below that, the "Homepage:" box, I used to have "Bookmarks:" typed in there which linked the Home button on the Toolbar (or if I typed Shift-CMD-H) to my bookmarks directly. Typying in "bookmarks:" now in this box in 5.1 doesn't work (a blank page now appears) so I'm looking for the correct "link" to insert there. Any ideas?
Thanks again
David

  • How can I make new Pages the default without deleting old Pages

    I have installed the new Pages, but all my mac keeps trying to open stuff in the old Pages, even though the new Pages is set to the default.

    The newer applications is always the default one. You are trying to open a document created in Pages 5 in the older Pages 4.3. You are probably using one of the icons in the Dock or the Launch pad. They are the older icons, linking to the older Pages,  but look like the new ones.
    Try opening a document by Right clicking (Ctrl + click) on the document and you will get options of PAges to open the document with.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Can someone make iBooks have the Option to view 2 pages in landscape mode so it can use up all the pixel real estate?

    Can someone make iBooks have the Option to view 2 pages in landscape mode so it can use up all the pixel real estate?
    Apple usually does this for OSX and its great when compared to windows where it doesnt use up all the real estate for viewing applications like websites and pdf files but when it comes to iBooks, it feels like there is no apple touch to it and is limited.
    If steve jobs were still alive, i bet there wouldnt be this problem >.>
    Please consider this as a real problem for people out there who would like to see 2 pages in landscape mode with pdf files and not just epub files.
    Thanks!

    Penguin, do you always insult people on here or was I just a special case?
    If you read the statement carefully, which you obviously did not! I was speculating, and I did not say anything for certain about knowing or not knowing ...
    I'm happy for the reply to the post and helpful link you posted to where I can leave some feedback for my post on an Apple monitored site but i rather you not reply if your gonna leave a snyde remark with every helpful comment.
    Don't do it again. and Thanks for the help.

  • How can I make lined pages in pages

    how can I make lined pages in Pages

    Well I just spent some time searching for that and found one round-about way:
    Open a document and choose Table in the toolbar.
    Open Inspector and choose Table.
    The default on mine was 3 rows and 3 columns - I changed that to fill up the page with horizontal lines and chose 1 column in the page width.
    That resulted in this (partial screenshot):
    That may not be what you wanted, but it's the only thing I found.
    FWIW, why do you need lines in a word processing app?

    Perhaps it’s a design feature to speed up the Organizer launch.
    I am sure it is.
    - The normal use of the Organizer is not the folder view, it's the thumbnail view with an organization based on categories and folder. That way you should forget completely where your pictures are stored. Anyway, the folder view in the Explorer is not a map of the location of the different bits of your file, it's only a logical representation. That's easy to see when you are doing a defragmentation.
    - The folder view is useful even for those using normally the thumbnail view, but that is only for rare cases when you must change the folder organization, for instance moving files to another drive. The folder view is here to prevent you from changing things from the explorer and outside of the Organizer.
    - The new folder list view, which you find 'funny' is there to help better organizing using tags. Its huge advantage is that such a view is created extremely quickly by extracting the last subfolder in the media table : it's the way the database sees the folders, based on its own content,  totally ignoring the complex folder organization of your disk with media files or any unrelated other kind of data. You should use it in many cases, the main purpose being assigning tags when you have assigned descriptive folder names. I had suggested such a solution to prevent the long standing bugs in the folder view of previous versions.
    So yes, the purpose is:
    - to speed up switching modes
    - to help folder organization fans to migrate to tags organization
    - to hopefully get rid of the old folder organization bugs

    As DOD and Peter have suggested, Layout Adjustment is probably the way to go. You will have to do some manual adjustments, but this tool can help save you some time.
    If you are using CS5 or earlier this explains the process:
    For CS6 you can use the Liquid Layout menu to do this:

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

    I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

    Yes I know what you mean about it cluttering the thread and for personal emails it is better without the signature. However this relates to sending business emails from an iPhone so I need the signature present on every email.
    I can't find anything in Settings so I was hoping someone may have some knowledge/information/experience regarding this problem.

    How is it a security breach? You're free to turn off lock screen notifications for the phone app so that no one can do that.... even if they can, they can only call the number that called you... nothing else. (well, except for 900 or whatever the emergency services number is where you are, but that's required by law).
