Stopping IP address being used to force language change

I am a relatively new iMac user and have recently been experiencing a web page language display problem.
I am using Safari 4.0.5 - recently upgraded from 4.0.4 (problem existed in both versions).
I am in Hong Kong and even though I have set all my preferences to English after browsing a site for a few pages suddenly a new page reverts to Chinese.
Given that I have removed all reference to any other language other that English in my System Preferences and set my default Safari language to English, i can only assume that the site is recognising my IP address and trying to assist me by changing the display language to Chinese.
Only problem here - I don't read Chinese
Does anyone have any idea how to stop Safari allowing this to happen?

Ok..
See if changing the language here helps... http://www.google.com/support/?hl=en
There's a pop up menu available next to: Change Language toward the bottom right side of the page.
We've seen posts from users from your corner of the world with this same issue.
Just thought of something else.
Quit Safari
Open System Preferences/Language
Drag your preferred language to the top of the list.
Relaunch Safari

  • HT4864 How do I stop icloud email address being used when I send an email from a web page.  also why are icloud emails not received

    When I click on the email on a website my Icloud email address is used when I want to use my normal one.  It does it automatically.  Can this be stopped.  Also may icloud emails don't get to the recipient why?

  • Email address being used by someone else to send viruses - help please?

    I am receving ten emails a day from people I know saying they received a message from me including a virus.
    Here's one example:
    This message has been processed by Symantec's AntiVirus Technology.
    account6.pif was infected with the malicious virus W32.Sality.U and has been deleted because the file cannot be cleaned.
    Another from a friend:
    -Today we received an email from your address which contained a virus and was deleted.
    I have a .Mac account and it is not clear whether someone has accessed my email address and is sending emails using it, or whether somehow, a virus is being added to mail I am sending.
    What can I do please?

    More than likely what has occurred is a Windows user has been infected with a virus who has your email address in their email client's address book.
    Such a Windows virus sends an email with infected file attached to all contacts in the infected user's address book and randomly selects an email address from the address book to appear as the sending email address for the message or messages.
    All this occurs without the infected user's knowledge.
    This helps to enable the virus to spread quickly since most people are more likely to open an attachment received from someone they may recognize or doesn't appear to be send by a spammer and makes it more difficult to determine which Windows PC is infected and where the message or messages has originated.
    Unless you sent these messages including the attachment with the same file name indicated that was infected, what I provided has occurred. Although it is possible to receive a message with an attached file that is infected with a Windows virus and forward the message with attachment or save the attachment outside of the received message and attach it to a new message, a file infected with a Windows virus can have no effect on OS X with the exception of Office document macro viruses (which are no longer as common) but affect Office documents only with OS X.

  • Wrong from address being used when sending emails.

    I have had a problem just recently on my iPhone 5S with latest iOS 7.1.1 whereby outbound emails are being sent from the wrong account.
    When I start to compose the email the correct from address is shown, but then when I enter or select a recipient it sometimes changes to one of my other accounts. This causes confusion and problems when people don't recognise the email account, and potentially will reveal a private account to someone I don't want to.
    The default is set correctly, it just happens occasionally after entering a recipient email address.  Very odd and recent behaviour. 
    If I notice and change the sending account before sending the email then the next time that I send an email to that person it seems ok.  But it can change again at any time.
    I just tested and if I change the sending email address it will use that the next time, if I change it back it will then select a random different one following that.  It is very definitely a bug.  I bet you $5 if I call up Apple tech support they will tell me to reset and restore my phone, which will probably solve it for a few months before it crops up again.  Have tried rebooting the phone and turning off and on and switching default accounts, no change.

    Check your mail smtp server preferences in Mail Prefs > Accounts for each account. That is independent of the "account" dropdown in the message composition window. In preferences > account, make sure that the desired smtp server is selected for each of your mail accounts. Authenticated smtp servers will specify the username with the smtp server info. If any are in error, you will need to go in and edit the smtp server information from that same pulldown menu for each account in error.

  • Old email address being used in Touch

    When I send emails from my iPod Touch, it sends them with my three year old, obsolete email address! I haven't used a shaw.ca account for three plus years, and have looked everywhere for the source. I deleted the "previous addresses," and shaw.ca appears no where in the new email addresses on my four Macs. Stumped. (I found this out when I first got the iPod.)

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    There will be a couple places the email address is pulling from
    -Settings - Mail,Contacts,Calendars - Scroll down to the bottom - You will see an area called Default account. Check here and ensure it is not set for a Shaw address.
    -Settings - Mail,Contacts,Calendars - Above the word add account will be the email accounts you have on the iPod Touch. Tap on each one, Confirm the address is not Shaw and also check the description for each one to ensure it is not Shaw.
    One possibility maybe that the email address or addresses you are using may contain in option on the email provider server that tells it "When sending emails from the account send it as [email protected]"
    I know Gmail is capable of such a feature.

  • Can I read in the address being used?

    In the system I have, there are two ways to access it. Through a normal http link or through the https. The problem I'm having is that the graphs that I'm using will only display if users enter through the https link. Is there any way for me to build a check into the system where I can see if the users connected through the http link? That way I could create a new parameter that will fix the graphs for those users as well.
    Thanks.
    Josh

    Hi Josh,
    you should be able to parse it out of the environment variable REQUEST_PROTOCOL:
    owa_util.get_cgi_env( 'REQUEST_PROTOCOL');For HTTP-calls with Firefox, this would return HTTP/1.1
    I guess it should be similar with HTTPS. Put a substring around and there's your solution.
    You can get a lot more information out of the CGI environment.
    Try OWA_UTIL.PRINT_CGI_ENV to get everything into a region if you need something else.

  • View Current IP's address in Use?

    hey Guys
    What commmand would I use to view the current IP addresses being use. I'm having a problem with IP address conflicting.Please note this is the fist time I'm working with a Cisco router. I have the proper access to get to the router. Thank You in Advnace

    there are a few ways to see what IP addresses a cisco router is aware of:
    1) do a 'show arp' at the router prompt. (to view all arp entries the router has)
    2) check the DHCP server if the router is running one with 'show dhcp server | lease | pool (to view any DHCP pools/leases the router is handling)
    3) do a 'show ip interface' to get a list of interfaces running IP. (to view all interfaces, and their addresses, configured for IP)

  • After finally getting my imac from fedex,  cannot get past the Update Apple ID and to use ICloud I have to change my app  id.  okay, but the red keeps saying that email address is already being used.  is it because I am on the apple site on a netbook pc?

    On the Update Apple ID screen to use ICloud, I get a red message that email address is already being used.  It does not accept my email address?  I do not understand what the screen is asking me.  Is this because I am using the apple ID on a netbook for this note or what. 
    Is there a way to bypass this screen if I don't want to use ICloud?  I don't want to screw up the original setup of my imac.  If I could get to the desktop, then I would know what OS and programs are in my machine. 

    Hi, hopefully you've called Apple on this... you have 90 days free phone support.

  • Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?

    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
    Offered solution doesn't work:
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    I can't download photographs from my iphone or my digital camera.
    Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?
    There is a possibility that when I went to update applications that I started to install Mavericks which I then interrupted and cancelled. I am not definite that this caused this problem but it was at about the same time as when this problem started.
    Many thanks,
    Ed

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • The hotmail address i use for my apple ID was hacked and i no longer have access to it, this is stopping me from accessing any of my icloud or itunes. how can i fix this?

    The hotmail address i use for my apple ID was hacked and i no longer have access to it, this is stopping me from accessing any of my icloud or itunes. how can i fix this?

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • Backup stopped before completing. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

    I am working with a client who is attempting to backup to a NAS device 
    The device is a linksys NSS6000 (Cisco device).
    It’s a dual 1Gbit LAN device that supports CIFS / FTP and NFS transfers. It has only 1Gbit lan connected.
    The device has 4 *  500 gb sata drives in raid 1  attached.
    Cables go from cat 5 to fiber back to cat5. (The NAS  is located at a neighboring office) The switches are 1gbit.
    Server is a win2k8r1 fully up to date.
    When backing up to the NAS device, the following error occurs:
    Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (86%).
    Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (90%).
    Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (94%).
    Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (98%).
    Backup of volume Local Disk(D:) completed successfully.
    Backup stopped before completing.
    Summary of backup:
    Backup stopped before completing.
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    If we redirect the backup to a folder on a 2008 share, the backup completes successfully.
    Only when backing up to the linksys NSS6000 does the error occur.
    No other backup processes are writing to the NAS device so I can't understand why the process thinks the file is
    being used by another process.
    One thing we did notice that when the backup to the NAS device occurs, throughput is about 150 mbit average
    On the 2008 server shares we successfully backup to, the through put is 500 mbit.  Not sure if that is important, but
    might be worth mentioning.
    The following event log entry was noted at the end of the backup.
    The description for Event ID '519' in Source 'Microsoft-Windows-Backup' cannot be found. 
    The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display the message,
    or you may not have permission to access them.  The following information is part of the
    event:'2009-05-12T10:13:31.617Z', '', '2147942432', '%%2147942432'
    Any ideas?
    Thanks..Michael

    I am also seeing the same problem backing up nightly to a brand new NAS device (WD My Book Live)
    All the error codes are the same as those in this thread.
    From Windows Event Viewer:
    The backup operation that started at '‎2011‎-‎03‎-‎25T06:00:19.811302700Z' has failed with following error code '2147942432' (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.). Please review the event details
    for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.

  • Can't the iPod nano 7th gen. VoiceOver function identify which language that is being used? My iPod Shuffle can.

    I am very satisfied with my iPod SHUFFLE (last version), especially with the VoiceOver function which is (quite) able to  identify correctly which language is being used in every song: For a Norwegian artist / a song in Norwegian, the artist and title is pronounced in Norwegian; for a French artist / a song in French, the artist and title is pronounced in French; for an English artist / a song in English, the artist and title is pronounced in English etc. A really impressive and useful function!
    I was very surprised and dissatisfied to find that my new iPod nano 7th generation does not seem to work this way: I am able to select the language to be used in VoiceOver, but then this language is used in everything that is pronounced. Most of my music is in English language, so this is what I have selected. But to hear Norwegian artists' names and Norwegian titles pronounced with an English-speaking voice is quite disturbing.
    I believe I have been through all possible settings in the nano and in iTunes to correct this, but I am unable to find a solution. I have also asked people at an Apple store, but they were unable to help. Can anybody help? Or is it really possible that this excellent function has been removed?
    (Could it be that the previous version of iTunes could fix the problem? I have installed the last one, v. 11.0.1.12.)
