The site addresses what I'm on keep getting replaced with "search or enter address" please help

whenever I open a new tab the site address is replaced with "search or enter address" and automatically prepares me to type in the address. this means I can't copy the site address of the website I'm on as there is nothing I can copy.

    Hello there, BundyA.
    Error 3 is usually associated to security software settings. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great information and links for troubleshooting the issue:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    This section should prove useful:
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • HT4623 I cannot login to my Apple ID on my phone after the update, although I can login to Apple on my computer. What do I do to get my phone back to operational? Please help!

    I have updated my I phone 4S and need to login to in to be able to use my phone. I am able to access and log in to Apple on the computer with my password and username although not able to do this on my phone. It keeps saying invalid user name or password. Please help me so I can use my phone. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.

  • I cannot open Firefox so decided to try and uninstall and reinstall, when the uninstall or install wizard starts I keep getting "Firefox must be closed to proceed, please close Firefox to continue" but i do not have Firefox open at all.

    Originally I was having a problem with Firefox locking up everytime I went to a website and tried to X out of it, there would be no response. Or the little box would come up with the question on whether i wanted to Quit or close tabs, I would make my choice but nothing would happen. Then yesterday I couldnt open Firefox at all, so I tried to uninstall and also reinstall but keep getting the error message "Firefox must be closed to proceed, please close Firefox" But i do not have it running anywhere, it does show in my downloaded programes, but I cant do anything with it. I am running Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron

    Hopefully this support article is what you need:

  • TS3212 could not access network location iTunes\.  This is the message I keep getting when itunes tries to install. Please help

    I keep getting the following message after trying to install iTunes. Please help.  could not access network location iTunes\.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Apple TV won't load up. the light flashes and the logo appears on the TV then it just goes off and starts again. I've tried restoring via USB on 5 different computers and I keep getting error message 9? Can anyone please help?

    I have a black Apple TV that has recently stopped working. It loads the Apple Logo on screen then goes off and starts again. It's as if it is stuck in a loop. I've tried a re-boot and this has failed. I have tried a restore using a USB cable on 5 different computers, including a Mac Book Pro and it downloads the update file but when it tries to restore I get the error code 9 showing on screen. I just can't get it to do anything.
    Can anyone please help?

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks.  After doing so, I noticed that my MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with the calendar/contacts/notes, thus, also not sync these info with my iPhone4s anymore.  Please help, thank you.

    Dear Sirs,
    I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks.  After doing so, I noticed the following changes:
    1) My MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes.
    2) My iPhone4s does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes anymore.
    Please help, thank you.
    aawwii

    Correct, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
    icloud still works.
    Cant help with the Outlook problem.

  • Keep Getting an Error for On-Demand. Please Help!!!

    My wife and I were in the middle of watching an On-Demand movie when the screen just went blank and then it went back to the FiOS On-Demand Menu and put the error code VOD_8 : 0Xffff up on the screen. Now nothing will work in the On-Demand menu. I've been on hold with Verizon waiting for tech support for over 25 minutes. Can anyone help????

    VOD_8 is an error indicating that the stb has lost connection with the network. Try rebooting the router. This will likely clear the issue.

  • HT4972 I'm trying to update my iPad 2 from 4.3.5 to the 5 but I keep getting error message ineligible for upgrade. Please help want to update.

    Trying to update iPad 2 from 4.3.5 to 5.1.1, however I'm getting a message that states ineligible for update

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • Verified new email address on Apple ID, but keep getting asked for password for old address

    Months ago, I changed my Apple ID to reflect my new email address.  I received and verified the new address and deleted the old one from my Apple ID account page.  When I log in, there is no mention of my old address, and my new email address is recorded as the primary one.  However whenever I am asked for my Apple ID when I try to change or buy anything, the email address that comes up is my old one.  Needless to say no password I enter works, so there are many things that I'm currently unable to do.  This is driving me nuts.  Any ideas, please?

    Did you change the email address used in your existing Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID with the new email address?
    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • I had the iPhone 3GS and I've just got the new iPhone 4. I restored my iPhone 4 and all my contacts, pictures, messages, everything went over fine. But my apps havent? What do I do to get my apps onto my IP4? Please help! Thank you :)

     

    No, ON means "active". If you switch for example iTunes to "OFF" the icon will not be visible anymore. If app installation is switched to off, your app pane in iTunes will be greyed out.
    Are you using the same account as when you bought the apps? Did you check the account info in Settings/Store/AppleID ?
    You can download the apps again for free: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I had my itunes on my hard drive (taken off phone), and my elderly mother deleted the itunes icon, placed it in recycling and deleted the recycling, how do I or can I get those songs back....please help.

    Anyone know who I can contact besides 1800myiphone, to see if I can get my itunes (my songs) re-placed on my phone. My elderly parent delected the itunes icon (she says she didn't know what it was) and moved it to the recycle bin, and then deleted it. Any help would be appreciated, have spent some time on phone with 800-my-iphone, and got a website, which hasn't helped a bit.Thanks,

    It is the users responsibility to maintain a backup of their files.
    If you have failed to keep a backup, that is not good.
    If the content is on your iDevice and it was purchased via iTunes, connect the device (DO NOT SYNC) then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    If the content is on the device but was not purchased via iTunes, you're out of luck mostly.  Do a google search, you can find utilities that will allow you to extract the content.
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, there is an option to redownload previously purchased iTunes content.  To do this, in iTunes select Purchased, then at the bottom select Download Previously Purchased.  There are options for Music, Apps, and iBooks.  Select the "Not in My Library" option and download what you want.

  • Keep getting texts in Japanese from international friend, please help.

    Okay so I have a friend in Switzerland who sends English texts to me and somehow between him sending the and me receiving them they magically  transform into Japanese characters. Neither on of us have any idea what is going on. I mean his text were coming through as English not more then two days ago and now suddenly they are Japanese. The even weirder thing is i can send him texts and they come out just like intended: English. He swears he is not joking and i believe him because he has never been much for practical jokes. Please, we are both super confused. Any help or theories you can provide would be amazingly appreciated.
    Example:
    Me: Hey how are you today?
    Him: * insert random string of nonsensical Japanese characters here*
    Me: Oh god you do know you are texting in Japanese again right?
    Him: *inset more random Japanese here*
    The worst part about it is i have run the characters through google translate and it comes out as complete gibberish... So it isn't like what he is trying to say is being translated into Japanese it is more like his message is being....taken over by a Japanese storm of gobblygoop.

    Is he attaching a signature to his texts?  Is he formatting them in a different font or colored font (some phones are capable of sending like this, but the receiving phone can't "translate" the message so it comes through as gibberish)  Is he attaching emoticons or smilies?
    What are the two phones involved in the texting?
