When I start Safari 5.1 in Lion, it always opens the last page opened.  Is there a way to start on the homepage?

That sounds great, but on my system, that box is not at the bottom of my Pref/General page, but is when I log out and put it to sleep.  What is really annoying is that I have to do this every time, instead of unchecking it and it being permanent.  Yes, I have Safari 5.1 and Lion.  I would like to permanently disable this as I too, think it is absurd and not a great idea when banking, paying bills, etc.

  • Safari lion isn't loading images or some text. It doesn't even load any of the "iPod / iPad / Mac boxes on the apple page. Is there any way to fix it, or reinstall safari for lion?

    I connected my macbook pro to my school network, with a proxy server, and when i got home, safari wouldnt load any images or certain text on any web page.
    I removed the proxies from network settings, but it still hasnt done anything.
    Is there a way i can reinstall safari for lion, i could only find it for snow leopard, and it wouldnt let me install that.
    Any other way to fix it would be great too.

    Try resettting Safari by clicking on the Safari menu item the click reset Safari.

  • My phone keeps freezing when i open apps, especially the messaging app. Is there any way to help minimize the amount of freezing that occurs?

    When messages app is used, phone frequently freezes and the same thing happens when I open other applications on the phone. Any suggestions to fix this problem without resetting the whole entire phone?

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My previous recipient list appears to be corrupt. When I attempt to access a particular entry to list or delete it hangs. Is there a way to just clear the history?

    My previous recipient list appears to be corrupt. When I scrool through the list it hangs on one partially completed entry. I assume the system crashed some time back and left this entry. It is a little inconvienent at times since some addresses won't auto complete. Any suggestions on deleting entries or clearing the whole list since using the normal procedure to delete an entry just hangs.  Thanks

    What happens if you select all then click "Remove from List"?

  • When i open my browser it does not go to the home page but the last page that I was on in my previous internet session. whats going on here?

    Ok so I open my Firefox browser but when it opens it does not go to the homepage. It goes to the last page I visited in my previous internet session. My homepage is www.imdb.com but lets says I go to www.facebook.com and then i close the window; if I reopen firefox it will go to the facebook page and not the homepage. This happens all the time and it even happens after I restart the computer. It always goes to the last page I visited. Like this page for example where I posted a question. Once i close firefox, and then open it again, it will come to this page and not the homepage. Is this supposed to happen? It started happened a few weeks back. I reinstalled it and it still happens. thanks.

    Hi eaglerabbit,
    This is a pretty easy fix. Just go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and change the preference for what Firefox should do on startup. You probably have it set to load tabs and pages from your previous session.
    If that doesn't work, you should look at the Knowledge Base article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • When sharing screen from work with my home computer, is there any way to turn off the display at home?

    Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but when I'm viewing my desktop on the home computer from work (as in I've connected by finding my computer in the finder and hit the "Share Screen" button - is there any way to turn off the display at home? It seems a bit of a waste of power to have the screen on when I'm not actually there - I just need to be able to see all my programs etc on the remote screen in order to use them. My home computer is a 2011 iMac running latest Mountain Lion, work is a 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in advance!
    Matt

    I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

  • When clearing a form, is there a way to also clear the photos?

    I have an existing form created using Adobe Pro's form creation. This contains a label tool for adding photos.  When I clear the form, the photos remain. Is there a way to clear out the photos of a form after one has already been linked?
    Thanks,

    OK I understand what you are saying, but I am not as Java Savy as I would like to be.
    I have created the hidden blank icon. Based on another users similar question, I used the following script that you provided for him for the buttonGetIcon Field Method.
    var oIconClear = getField("buttonClear").buttonGetIcon({nFace: 0});
    getField("Picture 1a").buttonSetIcon({oIcon: oIconClear, nFace: 0});
    I believe I still need the buttonSetIcon field method because this script alone did not seem to work.
    Perhaps I am doing everything completely wrong

  • I don't want to print the last page of a smartform when there is no content

    I don't want to print the last page of a smartform when there is no content. Kindly help

    If the last page is printed, there are two possibilities
    -1- The MAIN WINDOW is only in this page
    -2- The page is explicitly printed from another page (new-page)
    -3- There is date but its only space or skip line.
    So in your form
    -1- Redefine the logic of your form
    -2- Check that, there are some data to be printed before calling the NEW-PAGE
    -3- Do skip or write space lines before printing an actual line and not after
    Regards

  • When I load Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. No matter what web page I go to the content stays darker than the navigation bar. This just started today. All other applications work fine.

    When I bring up Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. This just started today. No matter what web site I go to, the content is darker than the navigation pane.

    If it's happening on all sites, then assuming that it's Safari that you're using, have you tried clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (other browsers should have similar options, possibly within the actual app instead of within Settings). You could also try closing the app completely : from the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app (or whichever browser you're using) to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If it's only happening on a particular site then there may be content on that site that isn't supported on the iPad e.g. flash, java, silverlight

    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

  • When I go to a website, I get a menu of the website (a list down the left-hand side of the page) rather than the home page itself. Using internet explorer, I get to the home page. Why not on Firefox? It just started happening recently

    I updated firefox a couple weeks ago, but updating has never caused this problem.
    I installed a program to help the computer run more efficiently, called "Fix-it Essentials," and that may have caused the problem, though it didn't for the first couple weeks I used it.
    So I still can't get to the homepage of many websites and navigate as I want to.

    Simple really. The first 3 articles have steps in them, but not in this order.
    #First, with Firefox closed, remove the toolbars from Windows ''Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs''. After the window populates, look for the Toolbars; if there, click on them and click on the button to the right of it that says "Remove". Then restart your system ''Start > Shut down > Restart''
    #*Article --> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_toolbars#Uninstalling_via_Windows_Control_Panel
    #Second, start Firefox and check in Firefox Add-ons: '''''Add-ons > Extensions'''''. Look for Yahoo Toolbar or Babylon and try to remove by clicking "Remove" or "Disable".
    #*Article --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons <u>and</u> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20uninstall%20an%20add-on
    #Restart Firefox by exiting (''Firefox button > Exit'' or ''File > Exit''), wait a few seconds (10-30), then click the Firefox desktop icon to start Firefox and test to see if the problem is resolved.
    The last 3 articles are for other steps to take if the above does not work to solve your problem.

    I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

    I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
    This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

  • My opening page won't load the home page even though I set it to home page in preferences.  Instead it always opens to the last page I had when I last closed.  I'd like it to open to my home page.  I've tried dumping and reloading Safari, I have 5.1.2.

    My Safari 5.1.2 Just won't open to my home page even though I have it set in preferences.  It continues to open on the last page I was on when I last closed Safari.  What overrides my settings in preferences?

    I just purchased my first MAC after working on PC for the past 25 years and would like to know how to keep my safari program to be the full screen everytime I get into the app. I always have to click the two arrows to the top right of the safari program but on a PC it is always opened in full screen mode ??? and while I have you plugged in how do you make it so that the manu bar does not go away (hyernate??)

  • I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open. it says page cannot be found.  This just started happening.  what needs to be corrected?

    In Adobe Send, I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open, it says page cannot be found.  This just started happening.  What needs to be corrected?

    I can think of a couple of reasons for this behavior.
    You inadvertently turned off the sharing for the files.
    The link that the user is clicking on is incomplete; perhaps it got broken across lines in an email message. Are you sending Anonymous Links or Personalized Invitations? If the former, are you certain that you copied the entire link?
    Some things to try.
    Have the user send the link back to you so that you can test it. Does it work for you?
    If you look at your Sent Files list, is the name in the Sent To column struck through (e.g., John Smith)? That would indicate that it has been unshared.
    If you could get back to me with answers, perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.
