Web page short-cut

new apple user and new to forum. Is there a short cut to go to a new web page. (on a pc, I type in "google," then control-enter, and automatically the www.and .com are added.) With my new mac, I seem to have to type in "www.google.com-enter. Does any short cut exist?

Yes, you can normally just type the "central" part of the URL (eg "cnn") - Safari will autofill "www" and "com" (assuming that's what you want). At the very most, you may need to add the ".com" yourself. I certainly haven't typed "www" in years!

  • My web page short cut icons have chnged

    My O/S is Windows 7 and I use the latest Firefox.
    I have trouble with some of the Icons for web page short cuts, that I save to the Desktop. I make these short cuts from the Firefox browser on to my Desktop, using the drag and drop method. When I make a short cut, I keep the icon that automatically appears with it, which is specific to that particular web page. Some of the icons have changed arbitrarily. This happened after I cleaned the Computer using a third party programme. I tried making new short cuts after deleting these, but the same wrong icons keeps coming back.
    See the two icons in attachment. One is showing the proper icon for g-mail and the other just a blank wrong icon.
    How can I get back the original icons for these short cuts?
    Thank you

    You can check for issues with the Windows icon cache and try to rebuild the icon cache.
    # Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
    # In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
    # Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
    # Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
    # Select the IconCache.db file and use "Delete" in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
    # After the IconCache.db file has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
    The IconCache.db file is a hidden file, so make sure that you can see hidden files.

  • Portions of web pages are cut off unless I diminish zoom with my mouse control.

    Did you increase the minimum font size?
    If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is ''none'') as a too high value can cause issues like you described.

  • The home page short cut with the little house on it is gone with Firefox 4. You can only go home with the History feature or reload the page from desktop shortcut. A big shortcoming in my opinion.

    Hey guys..you used to have a home page shortcut on your toolbar in the past. A little picture of a "house" Now it is gone, gone. The only way I can get to the start page is with the "History" tool or going back to the icon on my desktop. Right now, I would rather go back to the older Firefox that had a Home page short cut. '''''''''ha'''''''''

    The "Home" button was moved to the right-side of the Navigation Toolbar. <br />
    The "Reload" and "Stop" button are on right-side of the Location bar, combined into the same space as the "Go" button; whichever button is appropriate at any time is what is displayed. The "Go"button when you are typing in the Location bar, the "Stop" button when a page is loading, and the "Reload" button when a page is fully loaded.
    If you want any or all of those buttons in their former location, as they were in Firefox 3.6, you can Customize your Toolbars and put them where you want them. <br />

  • Words on some web pages are cut off or overlapped.

    I have a Macbook and when I go to some web pages the words are cut off or in some cases are overlapped. Is there anything way to fix this, or is my screen size too small for some of the webpages? Thanks in advance.
    In this pic it is on the left bottom.

    In this pic it is towards the bottom, where you click on "Disscussions".

    Regarding the picture you posted of the Apple Support site...
    The text looks to be very large.
    When I click on the "increase text size" button in Safari, I see the same thing as your picture.
    Try clicking the "decrease text size" button.

  • Printing web pages margins cut off

    When I print web pages with any of 3 printers, the left and right margins are cut off by about one letter. Using HP printers, Leopard. Doesn't occur with other programs such as mail, Word etc. Print options in Safari do not include margins. Any suggestions?

  • Moving "Back" using short-cut keys

    I am running Safari 3.0.2 on both Mac and PC with no probs .. but I do have a "right" hand vs "left" hand suggestion. Currently, to use a short-cut key to move back on page when browsing you must press CNTL [ .. which is great if your "left" handed and use a mouse or glidepad with your left hand and right hand is free .. but, if your use a mouse or glide pad with your right hand you can't use your left hand to go back using a short-cut key .. on Opera browser they use the "z" key to go back one page so you can be mousing with one hand and navigating with the other. So .. it would be nice if the Safari developers made a way to select your custome back page short-cut key ... Thanks.

    smitz,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Since this is a user-to-user forum your comments will probably not be made available to any Safari development team. I believe that you could use the Safari>"Report Bugs to Apple" selection from the Safari Menu to make that recommendation.
    I can go back a page using Safari in my hardware setup by using the "delete" key. I am not sure that will work on your keyboard. You may also have to use the fn key.

  • Short cut to reach bottom of web page

    I subscribe to a web site (Joss & Main) which is quite lengthy in content. I would like a short cut to reach the very end providing either "contact info" or to work my way backwards.
    I also seek a short cut to reach the very top when I am at the bottom of the site.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

  • Link Tool - Hyperlink too long - Adobe cutting it short - web page not launching

    Hi,
    I have been trying to add a hyperlink by using the Link Tool. But when I paste the Hyperlink into the available section the link tool cuts the final elements of the hyperlink. When you therefore click on the hyperlink the web page you want is not displayed correctly.
    Is there a way to increase the number of characters in the link tool to accomodate web sites that are longer that the standard norm?
    Thanks,
    Colum

    There is no link tool in Adobe Reader.

  • I am on NYT website second page , how do I get back to main page as key board short cut

    I have gone to another page on website ie NYT or medical journal on web , I have read the article now I want to go back to main menu, Any keyboard short cuts other than back back etc.

    ''How do I get back to my original page after reading several articles from that page''
    {Mac user}
    You've indicated a preference for '''[https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Keyboard+shortcuts keyboard shortcuts]'''. There is no keyboard shortcut to go back a known or unknown number of pages within the same tab without using BACK, BACK, BACK ("Alt+left-arrow" {"command+left-arrow"}). There are a couple of exceptions to this.
    '''Suppose NYT is your home page''' and you want to throw away everything in the tab with Ctrl+W {command+W} (was close the window but with tabs that is now close the Tab). So you do that and then you want to reopen your home page use "Alt+Home" {"Option+Home"}.
    Another way of doing but without NYT being your home page, would be to make a bookmark with a '''[http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm keyword shortcut]''' such as "NYT:" or "NYT". So you would do exactly the same time as before but instead of bringing up your home page use the keyword shortcut to bring your NYT page. I recommend "'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/add-bookmark-here-2/ Add Bookmark Here ²]'''" extension (60.4 KB) for working with keyword shortcuts and its additional bookmarking features ([http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/addbookmarkhere2.txt additional documentation]).
    If you change your method of browsing to try to keep Tabs with only one level in them then you can use keyboard shortcuts to close each tab after reading it. There are two main methods of reading reading articles. Say we start with a bunch of blogs in a bookmark folder and open that folder into tabs as a starting point.
    '''One method''' is to read the main blogs '''without interruption''' except to open links in the background at the far right end of the tabs bar for later viewing (Firefox 2 method). Closing articles when finished and you can check the Back/Forward arrows to be sure you have nothing back or forward in a tab before closing it.
    '''The other is to keep interrupting what you are reading''', by opening into a new tab in the foreground and reading that before continuing where you left off (Firefox 3). As with the other method, closing articles when finished and you can check the Back/Forward arrows to be sure you have nothing back or forward in a tab before closing it.
    You can read about setting up opening tabs at the far right as in Firefox 2, or opening tabs next to the parent article as in Firefox 3. The Firefox 3 method is going to present problems no matter how you work it, when dealing with sub articles next to the parent or to that of an offspring.
    You can read more about opening tabs and [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/tab_capacity/001_with_underscore.htm#taborder Order of Tabs in Tabs Bar -- Tests].
    Just want to make sure this question was not based on there being no drop-down on the Back/Forward toolbar buttons -- you now use right-click to provide you with the same list as before old stuff on button, new stuff on top (limit of seeing 15 items in list at a time).
    You can make '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)].

  • Web ADI Create Document - Short Cut Save to Form  Function Grayed Out

    How do I "ungray" Save to Form Function to allow a save?
    RDBMS 10.2.0.4.0
    Apps 11.5.10.2
    Only GL and Desktop ADI
    Oracle on Demand Customer - does not give us SysAdmin Responsiblities
    We have:
    Applicatin Adiministrator does not have Application> Funcitons
    Application Developer has Application>Forms and Function
    Setup Web ADI super user menu with Create Documents, Define Layout, Define Mapping, Manage Documents
    Setup options and "Hidden" Enter Journals
    Thanks for you help,
    Dale

    I still have no response or answers
    Refer the section "Creating Form Functions Using the Create Document Page Flow" in Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator Implementation and Administration Guide. User to have system administrator responsibility assigned to have this feature enabled as this is a SysAdmin task.
    THE BIG QUESTION - since "Oracle on Demand" will not allow their users to have System Administrator, how can I add the required functionality to the supplied Application Administrator and resolve the questions below?
    Problem Description:
    Web ADI – Create Document, Save to Form Function is grayed out, therefore it can not be used
    1. How do we enable Web ADI functionality to Create document and Save to Form Function?
    2. Once saved to form function how to we navigate to Application>Functions?
    3. Once the Short cut is saved to the Form Function, how do we attach to a user’s responsibility?
    We have only Application Administrator with no Applications> Functions menu, however we do have in our test instance Application Developer with Applications>Forms and Functions, but it does not appear to have the same rights as SysAdmin. I tried adding the menu functions simular to SysAdmin to Application Administrator but no luck unlocking (ungraying) the form.
