Google is set as my search engine but whenever I search something in the address bar it searches with Yahoo! How do I get rid of Yahoo! as my search engine when it is not even set to be my search engine in the first place?

Hello Nazer_502,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was acting this way. It sounds like it is overheating and not holding a charge. I recommend following the steps listed below when experiencing an issue like this:
Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

TS3408 I can no longer receive or send e-mail on Safari, or search using Bing. When URL's are typed in and entered, there is no response.

Safari is apparently frozen. I can no longer receive or send e-mail on Safari, nor search using Bing. When URL's are typed in and entered, there is no response. Obviously, I can still use Firefox for these needs, but how do I get Safari back to work?

I have the same issue - it worked once, then the error pop-ups keep coming asking for the same darn password I gave it and saved 100 times before. Anyone else find a solution? I use my earthlink for outgoing and that works but would rather use godaddy since I pay for it.

Safari 5 crashes with Yahoo Mail attachments

I just updated to Safari 5 and it crashes when I try to send a Yahoo email with attachment. My two other email accounts accept attachments with Safari but when I try to attach them in Yahoo, Safari freezes. Force Quit does not show that Safari is not responding but that's the only way I can close it. The type of file attached makes no difference -- text document, video or photo. Yahoo attachments work normally with Chrome. The other changes I made when updating Safari were those recommended in the June 5 Adobe security bulletin for Reader, Acrobat and Flash Player: I deleted the authplay.dll file in Reader/Acrobat and installed the 10.1 Release Candidate for Flash Player. (Also installed the 1.0 firmware update for the 27 inch display which should be irrelevant.) Yahoo Help only gives the duuuuh answer "Change browsers." Any suggestions?

Having same problem, so sent an email to Yahoo Mail Premium Customer Care. Here is their response (we should all be sending our troubles to Apple, as well as to Yahoo, since this is obviously a problem with SAFARI -- and, so far, Yahoo! does not seem to know this fact):

Trouble with Yahoo Mail when using Tiger

Since yesterday I am not able to sign into Yahoo Mail when I have the
Keep me signed in check box checked,
but it will let me sign in, if the check box is NOT checked.
What it does is return to the login screen instead of going to Yahoo Mail.
This action is same if I use different web browsers.
So I conclude that it is a change at the Yahoo end.
I am wondering if anyone else has this same problem.
(I do plan to give feedback to the Yahoo web site)

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I have cleared all cookies and reset Safari, several times.
I just discovered that having that box checked does NOT prevent me from
logging into e-mail, when using Firefox web browser, version 3.6.19
I was wrong to have made the statement about different browsers, in my previous posting.

Firefox opens with yahoo, but when trying to log in to yahoo, Firefox stops responding.

Firefox 3.6 opens to yahoo, but, it stops responding. Or I can click on sign in to yahoo and when I go to log in it stops responding. I have checked for the won't start virus using Microsoft essentials and there was nothing there. I tried downloading the beta and nothing. I deleted 3.6 and reinstalled and still no good. I can get to the internet using IE 8. Any ideas what is wrong? This has been like this for nearly 2 weeks. HELP,I love FF.

I just experienced this problem. The solution was to delete your cookies for tdbank (tools, options, show cookies)
I suspect there is something in the cookie that points to a database or some server that currently isn't active - it's 1AM now, so probably have a backup server up while they do maintenance or something like that.
Most likely the login page will have worked the next day for me.

My 13" MBP will not shut down/restart because my Safari application will not close, even when i press "Quit"

When i press the restart or shud down button, it says it cannot shut down because the safari application is not closed. When i right clich the application adn press quit, it does not quit. What can i do to fix this?

Force Quit.
Command + Option + Esc is the shortcut.

With multiple inboxes, when I switch from one to another the inbox view is at the top rather than where I was when I switched to the other. This is new.

One inbox is a pop inbox with many messages in it. The other is an imap inbox. If I am working at say, message 2000, in the pop inbox, then switch to the imap inbox, and later switch back to the pop inbox, the inbox view is inconsistent. If there is a new message in the pop inbox when I switch back, the view starts with the newest messages including the new message. If I switch to the imap inbox and no more messages arrive in the pop inbox while I am working the imap inbox, when I switch back to the pop inbox the view starts at the oldest message (in my case #1 of 4900 - requiring a long scroll to get to the newest messages). This behavior is new in the version I am using (24.6.0) on a Mac (10.9.3) so apparently an update changed it. I'd like to always return to the bottom (newest) message when switching to the pop inbox, so if there is a preference setting for that, please let me know, I couldn't find one. Otherwise please fix it.

The first part of this response is regarding the volumn of emails int he Inbox folder. I'm writting about this (although it is not your query) because I would not like to think you could lose all your emails.
I would strongly recommend that you do not save all of your pop emails in the Inbox folder, as it is designed to be an Inbox for incoming mail and not a general store.
You may see a folder in the FolderPane, but in reality your emails are stored in mbox files. Emails are downloaded and stored one after the other in the order downloaded. So, at this moment, you have one single mbox text File with all of your Inbox emails written one after the other into a single document.
Recommend you create some folders and manage your emails.
After sorting them out, you could compact the Inbox to remove any 'marked as deleted' emails.
When you delete an email, from your point of view it goes from Inbox to Trash. In reality it is still in the Inbox, 'marked as deleted', so it is still using space. When you compact your Inbox it removes those 'marked as deleted' emails.
If any corruption occurs in that file eg; TB cannot detect the end of a 'marked as deleted' email, then it may end up deleting a load of emails.
So I would not compact (a task that should be done on a regular basis) until you have organised your emails into other folders:
See info on how to maintain a healthy Thunderbird and compacting - why it is so important.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keep_it_working_-_Thunderbird
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders
'''Re; List of emails - view the recent incoming mail.'''
I would advise you have the most recent at the top, then you do not need to scroll. This option works in much better way for instantly locating new mail.
Click on the 'Date' column header to reverse the order.
or View > Sort by > Date and descending

When will Apple update Safari to work with Yahoo! business mail?

This doesn't seem right to have this issue with so many users and not have a fix.

I disagree, there are a bunch of other posts with people having the same problem. And it only recently started after a Safari update. Those of us who have gone to Yahoo! about it get responses like this:
"I understand you are not able to switch between your Yahoo and business
email account.
+"First I would like to confirm that you are using Safari to access your+
+emails. The reason why you are having this problem is because of the+
+recent updates that Apple has done on Safari. If you have noticed+
+recently Safari got updated and the version updates from version 3.1 to+
+3.2. Which has caused this issue.+
+"We have a lot of our Customers who use there accounts through Safari and+
+every one is having the same problem as you do. This is nothing to do+
+with your account or with the Yahoo! Server as this is something related+
+to Safari which needs to be looked into by Apple. Apple is already aware+
+of this issue. As a work around until they resolve it, you can download+
+Firefox on your computer and use your account through it. As with+
+Firefox you will not have this problem and you will be able to switch+
+between your accounts with no problem.+
We would just like to be able to use Safari for our browsing. We shouldn't have to use Firefox...which by the way does do it, so I doubt it is a Yahoo! issue.

Safari Crashing/Freezing with Yahoo Mail

I think this has already been mentioned but hoping Apple will do something about it if we keep bugging them.
Safari keeps freezing when I try to attach a file using Yahoo Mail. I have to force quit, even though it doesn't say that Safari's unresponsive.
Combined with the fact that Safari has also become very slow at loading pages, if they load at all, I've reverted to using Firefox. Thanks for the version 5.0 update, really regret installing it.

HI,
I think this has already been mentioned but hoping Apple will do something about it
It's not Apple's responsibility to update third party software.
If you have BrowserPlus installed, it's not compatible with Safari 5.

Offline Browsing - Safari insists on re-loading even when there is Internet

Safari insists on re-loading web pages when offline. I have cleared the cache, etc. and otherwise reset Safari, and it seems to work for a short while, but eventually Safari is back to its old tricks every time I switch to another web page or application, and insists on re-loading a page or pages that were already loaded.
This is most frustrating. It happens whether or not I have an Internet connection or not. Case in point, I had loaded a number of web pages of newsgroups and articles I wanted to read on the plane, as well as my e-mail. Got on the plane, played a game, checked my mail, replied to some to be sent when I was again connected to the Internet, then switched over to read the webpages I had cached, and BOOM, every single one of them reloaded to blank pages indicating that the Internet was not available. pressing the back button just resulted in the same message.
What is up with this? Is there a way to disable Safari from forced re-loads? Remember the good old days of the save for off-line browsing button?
Or is this just poor memory management? Does the iPad not have enough RAM to support its abilities? Are the multi-tasked apps loaded into RAM the culprit? If so should I force-quit all loaded apps before I start caching web pages? And if thats the case is there a way to force-quit all open apps rather than go through each one?

Yikes!! It's Steve Jobs' 128K Macintosh all over again!! At least there are no endless floppy swaps!
Thanks, I figured that was the case. So basically, it's not all the web pages I have open, but all the RAM being tied up in something else. I suspect multi-tasking is a bad thing for off-line browsing. I will try quitting everything I am not using which is open in the background ... And here's where Apple should have included an all quit option. However, I think the bigger problem with Safari, is that it does not store the cached pages on the flash drive, but only in RAM, so unlike an e-mail draft, which will be there even if Mail crashes, the cache disappears as soon as the RAM runs low. This is really unacceptable. If this is how it's going to work, they need to bring back the "save for offline reading" option.
For now, I'm starting to think there should be a memory monitor app, so that users can address these kinds of issues.

Firefox keeps reverting to yahoo, even when I select google

Even If i delete it, yahoo keeps resetting as default

Hi farrbar,
Sorry you are having problems.
What is it you are deleting ?
Which search is the problem ?
For instance, location bar, homepage or the bar on a new tab.
You are able to select temporarily to use an an alternative search engine. You are also able to select from the search engines available and set one as the default. Whatever you choose as the default search engine for the search bar is normally used for all other Firefox searches.
* see [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]]
** Have you tried changing the default search engine used by the search bar ?
** Did that work for the searchbar?
** Does that stay changed after a restart of Firefox ?
** Does it also change other searches such as the locationbar ?
By default the search engine for most locales | languages was Google. Now that has changed and for instance on English-USA it will be Yahoo, unless you choose otherwise.
If you are unable to choose and permanently change the Search Engine it may indicate you have: some odd addon or toolbar; adware, or malware on your computer.
If you continue to have problems a screenshot of the problem search type may help
* [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]

IPhone 4S constantly "searching" for network, even when SIM card is taken out.

I have tried resetting the network settings, restarting the phone several times and also doing a manual reset (holding down home and lock button).
So far services comes on once in a while, but then goes to "searching" mode 10 minutes later.
Thinking this could be a hardware problem, but hoping someone out there is having/has had a similar problem and can give me a hand.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Based on your description, I suspect the SIM card to be defective or otherwise the cause of your issues. I suggest you seek out a replacement from your mobile service provider.
Good luck and let us know!
