[SOLVED] Issue with Google's homepage on Firefox

First off, greetings, I finally decided to give Arch a proper whirl last night. So far everything is going smoothly but I've run into an issue that I just can't seem to solve. In Firefox, google.com looks a bit odd:

Yet in Chromium it looks normal. I'm wondering, is there a plugin that I need to install or something?

That is odd. It doesn't look broken, instead it looks like a different layout. I use Firefox and viewed Google just now, and it looks like your second image. You could try the old standby of clearing the cache, deleting Google's cookies, etc. you might even try logging in (if you have an account) and see if that sets things right. I personally boycott Google so I'm not up to date on their various site layouts.

Solved issues with my Macbook Pro freezing

My Macbook Pro would freeze from time to time. I could move the mouse and I could hit return with success but couldn't click the mouse at all. I would have to manually power down and restart to solve the issue. I tried all sorts of things to solve this. Thought it was iTunes, Outlook, videos. But there was nothing consistent.
It just happened again and of couse I was crazily clicking anything when I realized I could "right click" and see drop downs. I just couldn't use the mouse to make a selection. I could possibly arrow over and hit return but could not click. It made me wonder if it was my mouse or trackpad. (Be easy on me. I'm not a Mac expert by a long shot.)
During my crazy random right-clicking, I hovered over the bluetooth connections and noticed my mouse which made me think. I never had a problem while at home (aka no mouse) AND at work my wireless mouse was always there - a constant. So I removed the batteries and voila, my clicking issues were solved.
I am adding this to the forum in case there are others like myself searching for solutions. It's just one more thing to try before you lose it.

Just tried that and it didn't help. I actually was having so many issues with Safari that I downloaded Firefox. It ran a bit better but I still have issues with sluggishness...
I'm actually using Firefox right now.

Issue with Google Contacts : birthdays not synching correctly

I have an issue with Google Contacts synchronising to my iPhone. For some reason, the birthday on the iPhone uses the previous day for displaying the birthday.
For example, if I put the birthday of December 30, 1987 for a contact using the online Google Contact manager, it will sync to my iPhone correctly as as December 30, 1987.
However, if I update the contact on my iPhone (change address, add website, change phone number...), the birthday jumps back in time 1 day (in our example it jumps back to December 29.
If I edit a contacts details on the iPhone both Birthday and Anniversary skip one day back in time after the Sync occurs. This will happen every time I edit the contacts details so if I start on e.g the 30th of Dec after one edit the date will be the 29 Dec then after another edit the date will be the 28th etc...
I can then edit the date(s) in Gmail Contacts and they will sync correctly back to my iPhone. Only when I edit a contact on the iPhone will the date(s) skip a day back.
The region of my iPhone is set to "Belgium"
Timezone is set to "set automatically"
How can I solve this conundrum?

Have you checked your time zone within your Google calendar settings? (http://www.google.com/calendar/) It's just an idea ...
I myself found several issues in syncing my contacts with Google (over the air via ActiveSync / Exchange on iOS4 as well as using the API within Address Book / iTunes) with truncated names (e.g. prefixes and suffixes) and re-arranged addresses (german scheme vs. US-scheme: post code, state) and can't recommend the Goole services for users outside the U.S.

After installing 2014.3 my site had multiple issues with Google Chrome

After installing 2014.3 my site had multiple issues with Google Chrome. After I rebuilt the home page in 2014.3 the site is still not well. With the old software the site worked well with all the browsers and loaded incredibly. Despite Adobe's claim of a faster load with the new software it is much slower and in Chrome at times it won't load up at all.
The home page had two "Video-Animation light box galleries" by Visual pictures company. One had 12 videos, the other 3 videos. All the videos were streamed from Vimeo. There was also an Edge Animate animation in the middle of the page imported as a .oam file. the rest of the page was nothing special except using some web fonts. Again, these elements worked together well before the update.
After the update everything loads slower in all browsers and in Chrome all types of weirdness happened. Videos would play randomly, all of the audio from all the videos played as the site loaded. Videos would play in the wrong place. Instead of my animation playing a video from the galleries played in it's place instead.
I rebuilt most of the home page using a new video gallery and that helped some what but when I placed the animation.oam file in the page had new issues. To survive, I've taken the Animation out which helped but the functionality is still far from being acceptable. My boss is un my backside, other work is not getting done the stress level is through the roof because I was the one who encouraged using all these new Adobe tools (which I'm paying for personally). Now you broke it with a new update. This is not the first time I've been caught out with problems with updates. I couldn't use SpeedGrade for months following an update. ADOBE MUST VET THEIR

Have a issue with Google Translator in my website

Hello I am using google translator on the top of my website to translate the website in various languages but whenever I click on the translator and try to translate it into for example Arabic/Japanese/Hindi and other languages, it don't translate the whole page, it only translate few words, why is like this , kindly let me know and solve this issue please.

Google translate is the world's worst user exerience anyone can put on a website, machine translations are about 50% of the way to actually being readable. I strongly recommend NOT using them. They make sites look very amature.
Just put into google translate
"the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
Translate to japanese, cut n paste and translate back to english
"Brown fox jumps over the lazy fast dog"
Now imagine that with import client data.

How do you make google your homepage on firefox?

I am having trouble trying to google my homepage, i know it sound silly but HOPEFULLY there is a simple way to do it, but i do not know how to do it on firefox,
thanks....
please help

very easy. With Safari, go to Preferences, then General. there you should be able to set your homepage as Google. With Firefox, it's roughly the same, go to Preferences, then General. your homepage should be under the "startup" tab. I don't know why you can't find safari Preferences. Open up Safari, get it running, on the left hand side of the screen under the word "safari" you will find the word "Preferences" or press command (Cloverleaf), then comma (,) to get to preferences. There is no video that will teach you everything about Mac, however, your local users' group or Apple store may be able to help you out. If you are lucky, you may also be able to find a helpful Mac user locally or here.
My advice to you, coolcarrot905 is this: Practise, Practise, Ask Questions and Practise
oh, and one last thing: very common mistake: this forum is for Mac Pro's, not Macbook Pro's. One is portable (the 2nd one) and one is not (the 1st one)

Safari has issues with google docs

Hi,
Recently I am experiencing issues loading google docs in safari (from two different Mac, home and work).
The problem starts when loading the page of a google doc, the banner "trying to connect" appears and then the page freezes.
Any clue?
Thanks,
F

Hi John:
Have you contacted Charter? Sometimes web programmers do not realize there are other browsers around. FWIW, I also have a rare problem with Safari not playing well with a site. I do exactly what you have done and use an alternate browser (Firefox as well).
I have had success in contacting the tech support people of a particular problem web site. They sometimes recognize the problem and subsequently apply a fix.

Sound / Audio issues with Google Chrome

Hi guys,
I have this audio issue with a new Macbook Air (2013 base model).
When I stream audio / video (eg podcast, YouTube, NBATV) via Google Chrome, there is the static or clicking sound which you could hear both through the built in speakers and through the headset.
Brought it in to the Apple Store yesterday and they acknowledged the sound on Chrome. HOWEVER when using Safari, this clicking / static sound is no longer audible. I can probably record an audio clip to demo this further. The genius concoluded that this is probably an issues with Chrome or codecs that its using rather than the actual laptop. No replacements at this stage.
I have an old MBA 11” where this issue does NOT occur.
The hesitation in using Safari is Flash. Some video streams such as NBATV, which I watch quite frequently use Flash. Chrome handles this quite well, with no separate installs required.
Has anyone else encountered this? Not sure if I can pursue this issue further with Apple.

Chrome shockwave flash plugin issue causing sound problems on the macbook:
Shockwave Flash 11.5 r31 (old version)
Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502
disabling r31 solved it.
Many people have checked their chrome plugins and found they had two plugins enabled. They disabled the older one and audio is perfect.
-Go to chrome://plugins
-Click and expand +Details in the Upper Right
-Check over the flash files.
-One is version 11.3.31.222
-Disable the odd version and reload the flash content
For some reason, CHROME has allowed two flash plugins to be enabled at the same time, and clearly the older version is the one causing the problems.
go to "Chrome://plugins" tab. Click “Details” at the upper-right corner of the page.
Find “Shockwave Flash” listing for the integrated plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Disable” button. To identify the integrated plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
Find the “Flash” (or “Shockwave Flash”) listing for the system plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Enable” button. To identify the system plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
disabling Shockwave Flash 11.4 r31 resolved the problem for most people.
When people double checked: if they re-enable Shockwave Flash 11.4 r31, ....the distorted / broken audio happens again.
Hope that solves it for you

How to troubleshoot Windows 8 Mail app connectivity issues with Google Business Apps?

My company went to Google Apps last year. I am unable to connect Mail App on Windows 8 to my corporate Google account. I am using m.google.com for server with SSL enabled, but no luck. I also enabled bit locker as my company policy requires device encryption.
Mail App does not give a clear error message. It simple states that this PC does not meet security policies enforced by Google. Please advice. I already made peace when my Nokia Lumia 920 running windows phone 8 does not connect to Google
apps because of a bug that would not turn on device encryption unless requested by Active Sync and it would not turn on with Google sync.
These are annoying issues that Microsoft must fix to gain enterprise support. Here are the settings from my mobile settings page:

Answer is of no use. I tried all the forums and websites. I am not able to connect to corporate google apps because it requires SD card encryption. How do I enable this on windows 8.
Please discuss this with your boss and other peers before answering. This is an advanced question. I am going to paint this a little bit more..
Today's enterprise requires that most devices support device encryption and Windows Phone does support device encryption but here is the problem- there is no support for SD card encryption. Even for phones like Lumia 920 that does not have an SD card cannot
connect to Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync due to a bug in the implementation.
When the policy parameter Require Encryption on Storage Card is enabled, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices misreport the presence of an SD card, even if the device has no SD card slot. The policy enforcement occurs, provisioning fails, and the device
cannot be synchronized. You can read more on their support site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2464593
This long thread on the Microsoft community is a testament to this problem:
http://answers.microsoft.com/e...3ce3-49e4-8069-ecdccd55a5f9
This is also a problem for those enterprises that are using google apps and running Microsoft exchange activesync. Take a look at this request and policy that will throw the 85010013 error on your windows phone.
Request :
https://m.google.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync

Overall, I hope Microsoft fixes this issue soon

How I solved issues with Mail.app and Spotlight

Even though my upgrade from Tiger 10.4.10 to Leopard was painless, the new OS X did have a few issues that had bothered me:
*Mail.app: * Every now and then, the app would behave like on its first startup, saying it needs to import my mail before I can work with it. What's more, at times I've had the phenomen that messages would appear empty on the preview pane and sometimes even when being opened.
*Spotlight: * Even though I let the indexing finish on the first day of working under Leopard, every now and then it seemed to start all over. First, I thought it's the NAS being indexed but it just went on to restart indexing each time I thought I had let it finish.
*Free disk space: * I tried to bring the usage of my homedirectory down so I would have enough free disk space to switch FileVault off and then back on so I could start using TimeMachine. But whatever I did, the free disk space just wouuldn't inrease - it just stayed the same (yes, I did let the system recover space on shutdown).
The *free disk space* issue made me think there was a problem with my disk but repeated runs with the Disk Utility yielded nothing...not for about a month. Yesterday I got some warnings about 'damaged but not repaired' but according to an Apple doc those could be safely ignored.
Somebody suggested to apply the combo update for 10.5.1 as that could solve some issues so I went ahead - after all, the update had already been applied earlier so just re-installing wouldn't hurt much, right?
Wrong.
The install of the combo update went smoothly, FileVault recovered some space on shutdown but upon restart I couldn't log in anymore: My homedirectory was damaged. The friendly OS X Leopard offered to repair it but soon later reported back that it failed doing so.
Now, to cut a long story short - deleting the affected user's account and using a different user on the same machine (without FileVault) solved any issues I've had. Mail now works like a charm (despite 40k+ messages with attachments), spotlight doesn't restart all it's indexing and disk space is shown correctly again. Also the odd corrupt file copy I had experienced occasionally (especially with large files) was gone.
My advise to anyone who didn't de-activate FileVault under Tiger to make the switch to Leopard: Even if you think it worked, switch it off and let Leopard set it up again. You may think things went right...but the above shows that there may be issues with it that you may blame other apps for...but they're probably not guilty at all.
I don't think the combo update actually caused FileVault to turn corrupt, it was just what broke the camel's neck. While it's no fun to lose your homedirectory, I'm glad the underlying issue finally came to light.

Thanks to this thread, it's been solved.

Syncing issues with google ( I think )

I have a MobileMe subscription, and wanted to have my address book synced on my devices and my Google account. This where everything went wrong. My consolidated contacts on my laptop went from around 900 to over 20k. and then my issues went extra crazy when every address book on my Laptops and iOS devices had different number of contacts and lots of duplicates.
I tried to disable syncing with google , but it still syncs with it (it shows when there is a conflict).
I need help with this.

iSync (this forum) is only for syncing Contacts & Calendars to a non-Apple mobile phone via a local USB or Bluetooth connection. Neither MobileMe or Google use iSync.
I'd suggest asking in the Address Book forum, or the MobileMe forum.

Repeated issues with Adobe Flash and Facebook Firefox 6

I think I would just like to go back to Firefox 5. Is that available somewhere?

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

Issue with Google search on Safari

Hello: I am having the same issue with my iPad and iPhone 6. I think it may be related to iOS 8. when I was running iOS 7 whenever I would search for something in the Google search bar with and Safari the search bar would start to get suggestions what I may be searching for. For example if I would type in IT it would suggest that I was searching for the word Italy. Ever since I up dated to iOS 8 the suggest feature no longer works. I was wondering if this is an Apple issue and they will resolve it in a future iOS update or is there a problem with my settings. FYI in my Safari settings the default search is set to Google.
Thank you.

I have been having this same issue since the upgrade, and I cannot seem to fix it. I have restored, but iTunes won't let me revert back to pre 8.0/2.
Have not found any kind of resolution to this problem, and it doesn't seem to be a wide issue, as this is the only post I have seen on it.
Really annoying.
