Unable to change home page ??

Safari returns to default home page every time I turn the computer back on. I can change it then and it maintains itself as long as the computer is active, but in the morning, I have to re-set it
Is this a common problem, os something specific to my computer, a possible flaw

Hello Oleiva and Nabis:
Welcome to Apple discussions to both of you.
Try this:
Close Safari. Trash the Safari preference file
(com.apple.safari.plist). Open Safari and reenter
your personal prefernces (including your preferred
home page).
Everything should 'stick' now.

Hello Barry...
I did that 2 or 3 times times and it came back after a reboot or after a complete shut off of the computer. I also Zap the pram and 3 other solution propose by the Apple online support. At this day... still stuck with the apple start page. I realy dont know what to do.

Cannot change home page

cannot change home page. have moved and home page continues from last residence (router: 192.168.1.1). I now want a different home page. I have tried Tools>Use Current>OK, but my old 192.168.1.1 keeps coming back.

Thank you, Anonymous, for your post. It was a good place to start. It never hurts to ask, "is it plugged in?" before assuming the machine is broken. I have tried the steps in your suggestion, but they don't work. Again, Thanks. -- Wayne

Safari - cannot change home page

I've been struggling to change the home page but cannot seem to get rid of the default Mac page. I have changed home page in preferences, and the required page is showing clearly. However, the Apple page still loads every time I start Safari or open a new tab. Obviously there is something I am doing wrong. Any views on this?

Hello Michael,
This is really odd indeed two years of this! Sorry for your frustration.
I think trying the Test or new account as Andy; )recommended would
be very telling.
Then you may have shipped the corrupt preference file over as well.
you say Change home page to either another URL or "blank"
Sticks in preferences box
Close Safari
Open and apple page appears yet again (despite preferences being to, say, blank).
Just to be clear In Safari pref. the General tab;
In the -> New windows open with: drop down is that set to "Home Page"
You paste the preferred Url or you browse there
Click on use "Current Page" when on the page you want
and this does not work for you.
it will not work if it is set to anything but the "Home page"
I reiterated because you speak of "blank" does that mean you set it on
Empty.
I don't mean to be stubborn, it is just that i have had this issue.
Mine was caused by an over site with the Empty/ bookmark etc. option
on the drop down.
Eme'~[ ) btw, your location, lovely imo.

Unable to close home page tab or unable to close firefox by closing home page tab (when if that is the only last tab remaining in the browser

Recently I noticed that I could not close my browser by closing the last tab, which is nothing but home page tab. also noticed that when I open my browser and after opening many other tab if I want to close home page tab I could not close. If I closed it then I cant navigate or surf from that tab.
This may be due to some add-on causing trouble.
The problem does not arise in safe mode. Also if I group tab after closing, it is counted as tab but I cant open that particular tab.

How Can I get rid of Yahoo home page? Changing home page doesn't work.

A week or two ago, Yahoo started coming up as my home page. No matter how many times I change it back to Bing, every time I bring up Firefox, there is Yahoo as the home page. Changing it back to Bing and clicking ok is not working. I'm getting a little frustrated with this. How do I get rid of Yahoo coming up as my home page when I did not even ask for it?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
cbrsarah

Hi johnbarr, please start a new question for further discussion since the original poster has marked this one as solved.

Unable to change home folder owner? ls -al showing root

Hello.
I seem to be unable to change the owner of my home folder?
I have tried to use the following command:
sudo chown -R myusername /home/myusername
I even tried to log in as root and do the same, and still ls -al shows root as owner..
I think i have been able to chmod the home folder though, because i can create and delete files in my users homedir.
However, this is kinda bothering me because vncserver seem to be unable to read its passwd file as its asking for a new password every time i start it.. (unless i start it with sudo, but then it reads the passwd file from /root/.vnc/passwd)

If you want proper permissions/acl support you'll have to create a usermapping from uid and gid to microsoft sid. If I don't want to share it with windows I create a usermapping like this:
https://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3 … r-mapping/
#!/bin/sh
domain=$(sed -e "i obase=10\nibase=16" -e "s/[[:xdigit:]]\{8\}/\U&\n/g" /etc/machine-id | bc | {
read a
read b
read c
echo "$a-$b-$c"
echo "# generic \.NTFS-3G\UserMapping"
echo "# (id generated from /etc/machine-id)"
echo
echo "# root group"
echo ":0:S-1-5-21-$domain-512"
echo "# root user"
echo "0::S-1-5-21-$domain-500"
echo "# user group"
echo ":users:S-1-5-21-$domain-513"
echo ":100:S-1-5-21-$domain-513"
echo "# generic template"
echo "::S-1-5-21-$domain-10000"

Changes done in options are not effected - not able to change home page

When I do changes in the tools-options menu the same is not effected in the next re-start of firefox. For example if I change my home page to a new web page, the same is not opening in the next restart of firefox. Not only this any change done in the options menu is not effected

Change HOME page in portal

hello forum,
Here is quite a newbe question I suppose..
Is there a fairly easy method to change the content of the iViews on the HOME page in the portal?
We wish only to change the text in the 'SAP Enterprise Portal' iView (com.sap.portal.welcome.iView) in the 'Portal Information' page. I already copied the original page and iView to a separate folder.
Since we only need to show a simple text on this page, I think there is no need to develop a completely new iView, but instead want to change the existing iView (at least a copy of it).
Thanks!
Walter

Hello M Peter,
I was able to download the com.sap.portal.ivs.iviewservice.par.bak from the PCD; I imported it in NDS by means of 'import Portal Application Project from PAR file'; I was then able to see the contents of this file and make changes to the welcome.properties file in dist/PORTAL-INF/private/classes/. After changing the text for the 'WELCOME' field I used Create/Export PAR file to upload the changes back to the portal. One restart later leaves me with the following error after logon:
Error occurred while trying to access desktop: "portal_content/every_user/general/defaultDesktop". The object does not exist or you are not authorized to access it. If this problem persists, contact your system administrator.
I checked SAP note 869690 that describes this symptom; but I cannot request the default desktop by the stated URL. I created copies of the desktop and login pages in order to be able to change them, which might explain this behaviour.
Because the only change is in the com.sap.portal.ivs.iviewservice.par service; how can I replace this file? I tried opening the original .PAR file in NDS and exporting it to the portal; but this does not change anything.
This is a serious error; how can we restore original behaviour?
Regards,
Walter

Newbie, Change "home" page to regular page?

How do I do that?
I just started working away at page one of a gallery.
Now I want a "front" or "home page." But I can't seem to replace the one I've already created. Seems stuck as "home."

Not sure exactly what you are trying to do - but is seems you want to change a page name.
In Plan View d-click on the page name to select it then enter your desired name.

Why does clicking on "Preferences" (to change home page) shut down Safari?

What can I do to prevent Safari from immediately shutting down when I click on "Preferences" in an attempt to change my home page? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mark
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sounds like the Preference file is corrupt.
In the Finder, drag to the desktop the com.apple.safari.plist folder found in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder.
Restart Safari. Open the preference file. If no crash you'll need to reset your Safari preferences to your liking, plus any custom settings found in the Edit Menu (spelling) or View Menu (status bar, bookmarks bar, custom icons in the "Customize Address Bar" ).

Change home page on 6700 classic browser

I have an unlocked 6700 classic. I can't figure out where to change the default home page for the Web browser (currently the Ovi home page). Any help? Thank you.

Sure!
Menu - Settings - Configuration - Personal config. sett. - options - select "Add new" - select "Web".
At this point, the only option you should change is the "Homepage" - simply make this what you want your new homepage to be when you open the web browser.
Then save this/go back to the list of personally configured accounts, you will see one called "My web" which is what you just created, select "options - activate".
This should work for you...
