Updated Firefox (as requested) and no longer have ANY search engine options in toolbar drop-down menu. How can I fix this?

The only options in the search feature (in the top right corner of FF) are Delicious and Norton Safe Search. It's the Google search I'm looking for; it's the only one I ever use.

Thank you, cor-el. Your helpful instructions were far over my head. I ended up downgrading to a previous version of Firefox, and all the browser options returned.
THEN... the Norton went fubar, and we lost use of all browsers; couldn't connect to the Internet at all on that laptop. Ended up pulling out an old one, found a Norton representative who instructed us to download onto a flash drive, and used that to uninstall the Norton. Now we have all browsers working normally, with all search functions intact.

  • ITunes is telling me that I've already authorized 5 computers and that i have to de-authorize one to play my music! How can i fix this when the only computer I've authorized is my own.

    What I think has happened in the past 5years I've been using iTunes, I've cleaned off my hard drive 5times and saving all my music in the process. Each time I start over iTunes asks me to autherize that particular computer, but that computer/OS doesnt exsist anymore. How do I fix this?

  • I have updated to 4.0 and am not able to receive stock quotes on my MSN homepage. How can I fix this?

    Ther area where the quotes used to appear is totally blank and the controls are not responsive.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
    The most likely candidate is Adblock Plus if you have it installed. If you do, click the arrow to the right of it and choose "Disable on this page" and then either hit F5, or click Reload to refresh the page.
    I've uploaded a screenshot which illustrates what happens to the Global Market News ticker on another site. ABP treats it as an ad and blocks it as you can see in the lower half of the image.

  • I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox but it hangs when I use a search site such as Google or Bing. How can I fix this?

    putting a search option in the search box to the right of the address bar opens up the full search window but then Firefox hangs.

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed, and those websites don't know you are running Firefox 3.6.3 (which is what you do have installed).
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
    Then restart Firefox

    The pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot run any higher than OS10.5.8, and Apple pretty much stopped pushing out any updates for anything other than the current version.
    If your iMac is a newer model (covered here: iMac (Intel) forum) you can run at least 10.6.8, available for purchase rather cheaply here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and it's possible you can run higher depending on your iMac variant. So find your iMac variant, please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info" button to get this screen:
    Please tell us the code name ans number for your computer in the line I've indicated with the red arrow. For an iMac, it will either be in the format, "PowerMacX,X" or "iMacX,X" depending on the age of your iMac. The trailing numbers where I put Xs will help us help you determine what exact variant you have and what upgrade options are available.
    Also tell us how much RAM is installed. Newer OS versions often need more RAM that older iMacs shipped with.

  • Have over 86GB of music now showing as "other" and although it is still on my iPod it is not playable.  Most is from imported CDs. I do have a backup file on an external hard drive. How can I fix this?

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

    My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

         My iPod touch is always recognized by my Vista Box...using the same USB cable and port my wife's nano isn't detected anymore.  Since Vista can't see the nano iTunes can't see it either.  When I try my wife's nano I get the message:
         "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesn't recognize it.  For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
         I thought her nano wasn't charged enough but I've charged it for hours and this doesn't make a difference.  It used to synch like my ipod touch but it stopped working about a week ago.  My wife's nano still holds songs and works it just can't be recognized by Windows.  I even checked if the Apple Mobile Device app was running and it was and I stopped it and restarted it.  Didn't make any difference.  Any ideas?

  • I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod....I have switch on the OFF position and it will periodically turn on (thus draining the battery) by itself.  How can I fix this?

    I have a 2nd generation iPod shuffle.  Recently, after I turn switch to OFF position, it will turn on (green light flicks on) by itself periodically and obviously battery gets drained.  How can I fix this?

    I don't know of a way to fix an issue with the switch, if it's a hardware issue.  You can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes, to see if there's some software glitch.
    However, I often leave my shuffle with the power swtich in the ON position.  When you are not playing music, the shuffle goes into a "sleep" mode after about a minute.  You'll notice that you need to press the Play button twice to get it to play again; the first press wakes it up.  In my day-to-day experience, I don't notice any difference in battery life between the shuffle being OFF and ON (and not playing), even if I leave it ON overnight.  And keeping it ON avoids needing to constantly move the tiny swtich, and saves it from wear and tear.
    So, you might try just keeping the power swtich in the ON position, and pausing playback to "turn it OFF."
