Safari 6.0.5 thinks my mac is a mobile device, what to do?

Hello,
I am running OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) with Safari 6.0.5. Half a week ago when I opened up Safari, I was redirected to a mobile version of Google and other pages I use. The rest of the week I was looking for a solution to fix this, but I have not find anything yet.
I already tried to reset Safari, it won't work. I also tried to reboot in Safe Mode, this won't work neither. So... I was wondering if some genius out here can make my day with the solution? This actually is really annoying because I use the build-in Google searching everyday.
Thank you for your time!

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -app Safari CustomUserAgent
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Quit Safari. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
You can then quit Terminal. Relaunch Safari and test.

Music stable with mac, but not mobile devices?

I recently got a new sound dock and got a brand new airport express with it so I can control the dock from anywhere in the house.
After setting up the airport using our Macbook Pro, I started streaming music perfectly fine from iTunes on the mac. To kind of show off the new toy to my wife, I started streaming music using my iphone 5. The music was cutting in and out like crazy. I changed to her iphone 4S and it continued to cut out like crazy. I even pulled out my oldschool ipod touch, and it continued to cut out.
So I am trying to figure out why there doesn't seem to be any issues whatsoever using the airport express from my mac, but all of my mobile devices have intermittent issues?
All devices have the most updated software that I can find.
The only thing I can think of is the connection to the network is weaker on the mobile devices than it might be on the macbook? They are all using Wi-Fi to my home network. So going by that, the aiport/dock/macbook all seem to have it figured out perfectly so something is working.
Am I missing some setting that is causing network lag on the mobile devices but not the mac?

The single biggest mistake in your analysis is assuming that if Windows (or a Wii or an iPhone or whatever other device) can connect, your router is not to blame.
Though devices are designed to standards, there can be errors in implementing those standards or even simple software bugs that come into play.
The example I've used over and over again is say there is a bug where when the router is asked to add "2 + 3" it answers "5" but when asked to add "3 + 2" it answers "6."
If Windows only ever adds "2 + 3" but Mac OS X adds "3 + 2," it's not Apple's fault the router is incorrectly responding "6" in the later case.
But let's start with easier questions:
1) Are you sure that no proxy is being used if one shouldn't be, and vice-versa?
2) Are the DNS addresses shown in your TCP/IP settings the same regardless of whether you are connected via AirPort or Ethernet?
3) Could there be some interference in the area you are using your Mac? Recall also that Mac and Windows PCs use different antenna designs, so what interferes with one may not affect the other.

How to get imei number and mac address of mobile device on adf mobile

Hi experts,
I need to get imei number and mac address of device (supposed to be works on both android and iphone) on adf mobile
bgrds

Hi,
Adf mobile support phonegap api. Version must be 2.0(you can check it by below code snippet) You can just reach uuid from both platform via cordova. Espescially, IOS restriction limits you to get device infos that you mentioned, but you can get uuid.
   getCordovaVersion = function ()
        var cordovaVersion = device.cordova;
        return cordovaVersion;
    getDeviceUUID = function ()
        var uuid = device.uuid;
        return uuid;

Using iSync to update Mac from mobile device one way (device to Mac only)

Is it possible to setup iSync so it only updates the Mac from the mobile device (phone, Palm etc)? The reason is I use my Mac for personal work but a Windows machine for business. I update my phone from the Windows machine (i.e. one direction down to the phone). I then want to use the phone to update my Mac (contacts and Calendar). So the phone becomes the intermediary to keep my Mac in sync with the work contacts and appointments.
I find if I use bi-directional sync then I end up with duplicates on the phone as the data is held in different fields in the Mac and Windows apps so they look like new contacts.

iSync cannot be used in the way you propose - it is not designed for that.
iSync synchronises (hence the name!) data between all registered devices. So, any changes made to any of your devices (Macs, phones, PDAs) will be synchronised to all other devices on syncing.
There is no such thing as a one-way sync.

Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine, mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar.

Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.

I am receiving "Blocked Plug-In" message when I open webpages through Safari. I am running Safari Version 5.1.10 on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I updated Flash Player, cleaned out Cookies and restarted, but problem persists.

When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.

click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:

I am using a white 13inch 2009/10 macbook, purchased in the US. Am currently using it in the Philippines, where it is 220v. I know my adapter says it works from 100-240v, but is it okay to use longterm? I think my mac gets very hot now? thanks

All Apple power supplies work world-wide with the proper plug adapter.
I have my MacBook plugged into the grid all the time, 24 hours a day w/o any problems.

Errors when trying to update cs6 13.4 (I think) on Mac osx 10.8.4

Errors when trying to update cs6 13.4 (I think) on Mac osx 10.8.4.
I have a purchased copy. Downloaded patch which also does not work. Very frustrating.

is that photoshop cs6?
if yes, and you're trying to update to 13.1.2 from 13.0.1.2, uninstall ps cs6. reinstall using adobe application manager. close aam immediately after ps cs6 completes its installation.
open ps cs6, click help>updates and select 13.1.2. do not update to 13.0.1.2, first.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If you stillc an't access Facebook via Safari then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
There are a number of Facebook apps (including an 'official' one), which might be better than accessing it via Safari

I delete my safari, and I cannot find a safari to download, my system is Mac OS X 10.6.8

I delete my safari, and I cannot find a safari to download, my system is Mac OS X 10.6.8
If you have the software, can you sent to my e-mail :[email protected] Thank you!

Software update will only bring you up to the current level of the system you are using - you are at the maximum for Snow Leopard. To get Lion or higher you will have to go to the Mac App Store in Applications and purchase it there (Yosemite is free). You will need to check that your Mac meets the requirements and you should particularly note that PPC programs such as AppleWorks will not run in Lion or above.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store. (Mavericks is no longer available.)
If the problem is only with Safari and you are otherwise happy with Snow Leopard you could switch to FireFox (free) - the latest version of that will run in Snow Leopard.

If possible you need to upgrade OS X. However, what you can upgrade to is dependent on what your Mac hardware and configuration is which you have not provided in your profile.

I opened an attachment on an email claiming to be an order confirmation from Amazon. I now have several copies of it on my desktop and can't delete them.

It is highly likely that this attachment is malware. It's also highly likely that it is Windows malware. So you're probably not infected with anything. What is the exact name of the attachment you opened? Please be sure to include whatever extension the filename has (such as .exe, .pdf, .doc, etc).
What happens when you try deleting the attachment files from your desktop? Is there an error message of some kind? If so, what is the exact error message you're seeing? (Please don't try to paraphrase it... tell us the precise wording of the message.)

I deleted safari April14,by accident on my mac,how do I reinstall it? Thanks for any help.

If you have a backup : restore Safari from it.
Otherwise : reinstall OS X
Backup first, although your data & applications shouldn't be affected.

I think my mac was hacked into last night using my Terminal application

Not sure - but I think my mac was hacked into last night when I downloaded the wrong version of handbrake application. I noticed on my screen that my Terminal Application opened and has some "darwin" code in it with my name and a $dollar sign after it. Should I be worried?

If that is your only symptom, I wouldn't be worried.
