Using Firefox and trying to get AOL as home page..no matter what I do - facebook home page keeps coming up...any ideas on how to get rid of the facebook home page. Thanks.

I went to AOL page and moved the aol icon to the house....and also went to tools options and changed to the aol address.....all okay until I reboot then the facebook home page comes back.

I'm running Win XP and have found a solution to this problem.
The Norton Utilities software has a 'disk cleanup' function.
I ran this to get rid of all nonwindows code in my computer.
Afterwards, I edited the program registry. using START>RUN
and typing REGEDIT into the dialog box for the program name. Using
the 'edit' function and the 'find' function in REGEDIT, I located all
instances of the string 'searchqu/406',Changing all of them to 'google.com'.
Just for good measure, I ran the registry scanning function in my Norton Utilities software. The problem hasn't come back.
I then changed my homepage back to my ISP's homepage. The problem hasn't come back, even after closing the browser

  • I can´t organize files on my Zen Micro using MP10 (and can I get rid of the firmwar

    Hi, I installed the software that came with the Zen, the first one hung up my computer (forgot what it was called) but media explorer seemed to work ok. I was recommended to install the firmare so that I could transfer files using MP0. I did this (one of the earlier versions). I drag and drop my music folders into MP0 and sincronize but when they are transfered I get new folder created with new names onto my Zen (album names, song names etc.) everything disordered and many folders with only one song in them. I can't seem to figure out how to organize my music. Is there a way of reformatting the player, get rid of the firmware and make it work properly with media explorer again (since media explorer doesn?t recognise the player after the firmware instalation) Please help, the sound quality of this player is great but music transfers and organizing is giving me a big headache.

    Ear-Rock,
    You can download the version of Zen Micro Media Explorer that support the MTP firmware you have now on the player. The version is 4.00.8 and is available on the website. You can also change the firmware to the PDE one by downloading and installing the PDE firmware version .02.05.

  • Imac leopard and xp OS - using xp and trying to get a screencapture

    imac leopard and xp OS - using xp and trying to get a screencapture.
    How do go about doing this?

    I am running XP with VPC on my iMac G5 under Leopard.
    I had trouble installing Leopard, but with command S and fsck y everything turned out ok.
    No trouble at installing VPC on top of Leopard. I had all the original VPC disks.
    That said, I do not have any trouble doing a Mac screen shot while in Windows XP. I'm using spaces with windows XP in one and Mac stuff on another one. Takes several seconds for the screen shot to appear on the Mac desktop though.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

    Try a reset:

  • We have an Apple 9 and 10 operating system and want to get rid of the 9 how do we do that?

    We have a power mac G4 with Operating Systems 10.3 on it and 9.0 and want to get rid of the 9.0 and only upgrade the 10.3 to Snow Leopard is that possible and what do we do? Does this mean when we bought this did they partition the drive, do we need to undo something to make this work properly?
    Julie Reid

    An alternate method is to just throw away the OS 9 System Folder (not the folder named System - that's OSX), and throw away the OS 9-only apps you might have.
    Since it is OS 9.0, it can not be used as Classic - and so there should be no hooks to Classic in OSX that might prevent a casual removal via the Trash.
    If OS 9 is on its own partition (the default is everyhting on one volume (partition), but any folks who have both OS's have placed OS 9 on its own partition), then you can erase just that partition.
    Additional issue -
    You mentioned installing Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6). Since you have a PowerMac, that's not possible. Snow Leopard will run only on machines having an Intel processor, which no PowerMac (or any machine capable of using OS 9) has.
    Depending on other criteria, your machine may not even be suitable for Leopard (OSX 10.5). There are some minimum requirements that must be met - primarily a CPU (machine) speed of 867MHz (no stock machine capable of boooting to OS 9.0 has a processor that fast), plus some minimums with regard to RAM and available hard drive space.
    The full specs for Leopard are shown in this Apple KBase article -

  • Any ideas on how to fix ipad after the new iOS 7 update? My battery will not charge, my ipad is hot to the touch, the iTunes Store won't open, and my messages on Facebook aren't showing up when I chat and pintrest won't pin to my boards.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • Tried the Restore and Reset to get rid of the invalid passcode but it is still there!

    I've had my iPhone 4s from new and can't even remember ever doing a Passcode but after doing the last few updates I have struggled with issues with the phone-some of my contacts vanish.
    I used to be able to do In App Purchases. I can buy Apps direct from iTunes as well as music.
    But over the past 2 weeks I have not been able to buy In App Purchases anymore as it always asks me for the Passcode-I have done 17 attempts!
    So I have read and re-read several Apple and website info on how to fix this and nothing has worked!
    I have done the Reset and also the Restore via iTunes and I have switched the phone off and connected to iTunes and after spending several days on this I am now wanting to take a hammer to the phone!!
    It does not matter how many hours it takes for my phone to do either reset, restore, back up etc every time I do it the passcode still is there saying 17 attempts and I have to keep waiting an hour at a time to try and guess it again!
    Logically to me if I restore my phone via iTunes using the last back up (don't know how to use a Back up from say a year ago to see if that works) then the Passcode info will still be on that Back up so it will remember that it needs a passcode and leave it there-I have never been asked on anything to reset the passcode as in make a new one.
    Please help before i go over to the dark side and buy another phone!!!

    Where is the DLL file located?
    The "h264" in the name implies some kind of video-decoding functionality, in case that helps in identifying the software to which it belongs.
    Generally speaking, I suggest the following process for cleaning up unwanted software:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Are you able to get rid of the unwanted DLL?

  • My email storage shows 13.3 GB used but I only have about 20 emails in my mailbox with no attachments.  Do I need to back up, delete everything and restore to get rid of the cache?

    My email storage show 13.3GB used but I only have about 20 emails in my inbox with no attachments.  I assume it's memory cache that's clogging my phone.  Do I need to backup and restore to get rid of all of it??

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.
    Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required. 
    Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi. 
    Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

  • Can't register and can't get rid of the "Let's get started" pop-up

    I was trying to register my wife's iPad, using her iTunes account. It said that the ID didn't match the password no matter what I did, including resetting the password several times.
    What is odd, is that we were able to download apps directly to the iPad by typing in the new password on the iPad. In other words, iTunes seems to recognize the iPad, the account and the password, but it keeps asking us to register the iPad each time we try and sync. So, it seems to be partially registered.
    Any ideas? I would hate to have to reset everything and start from scratch. Not sure how to do that anyway.
    thanks,
    Cliff

    There's really no way of getting rid of the "Let's Get Started" screen. It's just a side effect of buying a used iPad from the Black Eyed Peas.

  • I can't stream video at my favirute sites anymore, I uninstalled some programs trying to get rid of the stupid bing toolbar

    I'm still on XP on this older PC, this all started because of this stupid bing toolbar that has infecting many computers, and I started unistalling a few programs that looked like they didn't belong, I ended up getting rid of the bing but now I have a much bigger problem, I still have my adobe flash player of course, all the sudden when I go to a site like wiziwig.tv to stream baseball games it just doesn't work. I tried system restore to a previous date but that wiped out all my bookmarks and everything. I just think there is some file or program I need as I've been streaming shows at sights like watchseries.ch until today. If that bing toolbar hadn't came out of nowhere I'd be watching right now!

    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].

    I am on Charter means nothing without a link. If you supply a link to the site in question then maybe someone will be able to advice further. But this is down to the site in question to inform you of any plug-ins required to use their site. Firefox will only notify you or install, depending on your preference, any outdated plug-ins.
