What happened to the grid of sites we use daily when pressing the plus (+) sign at the end of the current address?

Up until today, when I pressed the plus (+) sign at the end of the 'google search' which comes up when I bring up Mozilla Firefox.....Now I am getting a search site with AVG.....how do it get rid of that and get back what we like and use? Unwanted change is just disgusting!!

You can set check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and make sure it is set to about:newtab 
Also make sure that the new tab page is enabled (there is a 3x3 grid icon in the top right corner of the about:newtab page)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

When I go to whatismybrowser it says I am not uptodate but when I check updates it says I am I have snow leopard. but I cant open certain things on sites I use daily where others can see the missing items and photos what can I do

I know you can not update Safari only with Snowleopard but the photos on sites I uses daily just have ? in them but all other users are able to see without issues

You install the Firefox web browser
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop
Believe it or not, Apple is still issuing updates for Snow Leopard, it's true that Safari isn't version 6 like it is on later OS X versions, but it's still recieving security updates as Snow Leopard still has more that 25% of the OS X version market share still. It's just Apple doesn't announce the Snow Leopard updates past 10.6.8, which we are currently stuck at, so that website doesn't know.
So that website isn't entirely correct, and neither are they correct about Java 6, Oracle and Apple are still issuing fixes and Apple maintains Java 6 for Snow Leopard users.
See the chart here
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
If you want more privacy and security with Firefox (like mine is in the picture above) then see this link
Maintain some level of privacy/cookie tracking
Harden your Mac against malware attacks
Also make a bootable clones, you can run Snow Leopard forever as it's easy to just boot from the clone, erase and reverse clone everything back on.
Most commonly used backup methods
If you upgrade OS X to a later version via AppStore it's going to do this:
1: Very possibly slow down your machine
2: All your PPC based software will cease to function and other software will have to be replaced/upgraded for more money.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
3: Purchase more RAM for your machine in order to meet the requirements of the later OS X versions (4GB+ is recommended)
4: Your machine might not run the later OS X versions at all, thus your looking at buying a new Mac prematurely to keep up, despite the older one working just fine.
Since I don't know what your machine is, if it's a laptop then I don't recommend any later OS X version than 10.6.8 if it's earlier than a 2011 machine.
Desktops like iMac's likely 2009 or later is fine, any MacPro is fine.

Thanks for the help apm60 It seemed to work.

I updated to Firefox 5 and now have problems with it not responding ALOT and also even though I have certian sites listed to allow popups they dont work on several sites I use daily. What can I do about this?

I dont know what else to say about it. I updated and now all this is happening and it didnt before my update to Firefox5. I have several site I use daily and I have gone in and marked them to allow popups and they just dont work. The sites are My Yearbook...Kia Financeing...and a few more. And also I am finding that I get a no response a lot!

I am sorry you are not in a position to replace the iPad. It is stating the obvious, but nothing lasts forever - especially something like an original iPad. IMHO, there is nothing you can do to address the issues you have posted about.

What happens to my journals published in my icloud account when I upgrade?

What happens to my journals published in my icloud account when I upgrade to IOS8. I am searching for a way to preserve them in the cloud if possible after loosing I photo in the upgrade. I understand that I will no longer be able to edit them but if I can continue to view them that would be fine.

See this help page: Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8
Apple does not say, what will happen to the shared journals in iCloud. My iCloud webpage was empty after upgrading to iOS 8. Others have reported, that their Journals are still online, but there is no way to delete them. It would be safer to download the published journal while it is there and to move it to a different site, so you will stay in control.
You can save the HTML version of your journal to your computer using iTunes as described here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkaf3ef70a
Even if you do not publish the journal to another site, you will be able to view the downloaded files with Safari.

Connect to iTunes on your PC and select "Transfer purchases..." from the File/Devices menu. This will add the purchases from each iDevice to your iTunes Library.

Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

On my computer I apply for unemployment benefits at the Unemployment Insurance Agency web-site. Just recently, when I log in for benefits, I get to the second page, and I get automatically kicked back to the log-in page.

On my computer I apply for unemployment benefits at the Unemployment Insurance Agency web-site. Just recently, when I log in for benefits, I get to the second page, and I get automatically kicked back to the log-in page. I went to my local library, and I do not have this problem. I do not understand why I can log in, get to the second page, then I click proceed and I have to start all over without ever getting to the third page. Can someone figure this out?

Yes AT&T is my ISP. I use DSL. Currently I am not at my home address. I am currently on a cable modem on COX.com.
I am also receiving a warning message "WARNING: Parental control appears compromised!".

If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

If you purchase an unlocked iPhone it will work on any supported gsm network.
Just FYI, apple will not ship outside the country in which the device is purchased. A device purchased in the Hong Kong website must have a shipping and billing address in Hong Kong.
Also, warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.

When I start iPhoto it says the library needs to be updated and when I try to do that it says that the program is in use or unreadable. This is the the first time I have ever launched it. What do I do?

When I start iPhoto it says the library needs to be updated and when I try to do that it says that the program is in use or unreadable. This is the the first time I have ever launched it. What do I do? It keeps going around in circles. I have tried re-starting the computer and re-launching the program holding down the option-command keys. Neither helped.

What version of iPhoto are you using?
This is the the first time I have ever launched it.
Does that mean there are no photos in the library? If so move it to the Trash bin in the Dock and launch iPhoto again.
If there are photos in the library do the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers. All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store. Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer. Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing. You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Try using Recovery Mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore

How do I find a previously passcode to link a wireless keyboard (Model A101urs6) to a Mac Power Book G4 running 10.5.8. The keyboard was linked at one point in the past, but then not used. When I am trying to hook it up now, it requires the passcode.
