When i type into the search bar on safari, it comes up with a yahoo or bing search instead of google like it normally would do

I've had my macbook pro for about 2 years and any time i would type into the search bar of safari it would always come up with a google search. recently it is coming up with a yahoo or bing search and not google. my settings for safari have it set to google as the default search engine so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can anyone help me fix this?

When you go to search something in your search bar , and you click in the search bar at the top , a drop down menu should appear when it gives you suggestions on smart search right ? , well within those list of suggestions in the search bar their should be a little magnifying glass icon in the corner , click on that and another drop down box will appear, then you can choose your search engine preference e.g. bing , google , yahoo etc. click on your preference and it will use that search engine when you search in your search bar. Hope this helped.

  • Why don't I get google results when typing keyword into the location bar?

    When typing keywords into the location bar, instead of taking me to Google I get a "problem loading page the connection was reset" error. And the domain it automatically takes me to is domainnotfound.Internetserviceprovider.net. Is there any way that if I don't type in a full url and just press enter it will give me the google results for those keywords? thank you for the assistance

    Sounds that your ISP is detecting whether a DNS look up fails in redirect you to that optimum.net url.
    In such a case you need to contact your ISP and ask them for alternative DNS servers that do not redirect you or you can set other DNS servers yourself.

  • TS3988 i changed my apple id email and when i sign into iCloud on my phone it still comes up with the old email and my password isn't working for it?

    i changed my apple id email and when i sign into iCloud on my phone it still comes up with the old email and my password isn't working for it?

    Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I AM FREQUENTLY SENT TO WEBSITES OTHER THAN THE ONE I TYPE INTO THE ADDRESS BAR. WHY???

    ALL TO OFTEN WHEN I ENTER AN ADDRESS INTO THE ADDRESS BAR I AM SENT TO A WEBSITE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WEBSITE THAT I AM WANTING TO GO TO. THIS HAPPENS FAIRLY OFTEN AND ONLY WHEN USING FIREFOX.

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • I want to erase a site so that it isn't the first thing that comes up when I type into the url line

    Every time I type into the URL a specific site is the first thing up. I would like to erase this site. I have tried clearing the history, doesn't do any good. I visit google 20 times a day but still this site is first everytime I start to type "g". How do I :
    1) erase my preferences on the url line that pop up
    2) better yet how do I get rid of the one offender from the list that pops up.

    If that site has a star at the far right then it is a bookmark and you need to remove that bookmark by clicking the star and click the remove button. If the entry is not a bookmark then highlight the entry in the drop down list and press the Delete key.

  • My computer wont recognize my ipod touch, when i go into the devices list (windows 7) it comes up but its under unspecified and says it needs troubleshooting. what can i do to get it to connect properly again?

    when i plug in my ipod into the right usb port it makes the connecting noise but nothing pops up and itunes does nothing. then when i look into the devices list it is under a category called unspecified and says that it needs troubleshooting. if i run the troubleshooting program it says it could not find a solution to the problem. i want to know how to fix this.

    I was struggling with this since my latest Itunes update.  Fiirst it would not recognize my IPad as a device, after correcting that, it would list the Ipad in my device but my Sync had no options (summry, info, etc). and it kept saying it was "Accessing Itunes store".  reading your question I suddently tried deleting the itunes task (alt-ctrl, delete, processes) and delete Itunes.  (By the way, I had rebooted my computer several times over the last few days).  I opened up Itunes, and voila. Device is there. No "accessing windows" and my sync has the normal options.

  • When i type into the browser search bar, the text t y p e s .... v e r y s l o w l y

    First and foremost, I have used several virus searches and nothing shows up. However, regularly, when I go to type in the browser Go To bar, to go to a new URL, the font will often stop and wait, sometimes up to 10 seconds PER character

    Download OnyX and run the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=eaeb705a394731049962b7ec35ed070f . Many have found that using OnyX can help with performance. Of course you should have any important data backed up before using any disk maintenance program.
    Also, how much free disk space do you have? If less than 10%, the system will really slow down.

  • When I type on the address bar "w" it opens a download page with only a few sites. Some of the sites I would like to delete. How do I do this?

    I highlight the page and hit delete. It will go away at that moment but as soon as I type "w" on a new search it will pull the download page with the supposed to be deleted address.

    Do those websites have a yellow star at the far right?
    If they have a yellow star then that are bookmarks. You can open such a bookmark in a tab and click the yellow star to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and click the Remove button.

  • How do I stop the browser from appending anything whatsoever to what I type into the location bar?

    I want a strict WYSIWYG location bar - no prefixes or suffixes, ie, do put http:// in front or www. or put anything after. Do not change or add anything to what I type. PERIOD.

    Dear Cor-el,
    I want a browser without training wheels .... please. If you are less than 45 years old, then I was programming computers before you were born --- in assembly language. What I want is to be able to supply an access protocol as and where needed as I see fit - i.e., I want FF to do is absolutely NOTHING.
    Think "command line" - if what I type is wrong then it FAILS ....and maybe I get a useful error message and maybe not. And this is not only OK but it useful and wanted by a technically proficient segment of FF's user base.
    Please pardon me, but if you are a logician or programmer or Buddist then you realize that the NULL set is an absolutely valid answer and that it might well be the very answer that I am looking for. If I execute a Boolean conjunctive query what I DO NOT WANT is a bunch of crap-ola served up to me by Google/Microsoft/whoever it is that feels absolutely compelled to return something and/or anything because I /might be a newbe-might be turned off -might not buy their product/ .

  • HT4993 I have apple care and was wondering what I have to do to get a new phone  since I drop and cracked my screen on this phone? When I go into the store what do I have to bring with me?

    I have the AppleCare and was wondering what i have do to get a new phone since I drop and cracked the screen on this phone.  What do I have to bring the store when I go in?
    Thanks

    If you have AppleCare+, for the $49 filing fee, you can use one of your two allowed accidental damage claims.  You must turn in an intact iPhone to be eligible (it can, of course be damaged, but all the parts need to be there).
    Otherwise, nothing in Apple's warranty covers accidental damage.  The accidental damage claim is a special insurance rider only with AppleCare+, allowing two claims, with the associated fee each time.
    All you need is the broken phone - they will pull everything else they need off their system from the serial number and your info.

  • I am unable to enter a URL into the address bar.

    Problem description: I can type an address into the URL bar, but when I hit enter, nothing happens. Nothing happens when I hit the "go" arrow. Nothing happens when I paste an address into the URL bar with "Paste & Go".
    The awesome bar functionality seems to work, but when I select an address, it puts the address in the URL bar, but nothing happens.
    It's just refusing to actually load any URL I type into the URL bar.
    The bookmarks menu works just fine, as does everything else.
    This occurred when I upgraded to Firefox 20.0.
    I found the problem, but I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.
    I tried disabling all the add-ons, but that didn't help.
    The problem did NOT occur when using a fresh newly-created profile. You're probably thinking something was corrupt in my old profile. But that's not it.
    The problem occurs when the profile is located on a network share. If I copy the profile to the local hard drive, the problem goes away. If I copy the fresh new profile to the network share, the problem starts occurring there.
    I keep the profile on the network share because it gets backed up automatically every night. I have been doing this for at least the last five or six years, and it's been working fine since I don't know what Firefox version. 4 or 5? No idea, not important.
    Here is my profiles.ini:
    [General]
    StartWithLastProfile=1
    [Profile0]
    Name=Joe D
    IsRelative=0
    Path=\\Splut\joed\.mozilla\firefox-win\Profiles\7ng20p6c.default
    [Profile1]
    Name=Copy
    IsRelative=1
    Path=Profiles/7ng20p6c.default
    Default=1
    As you can see, profile 0 is on the network share, and profile 1 is on the local hard drive. I copied the profile from the network to the local drive to create profile 1.
    But wait! It gets even better!
    They are not just identical copies. They are the EXACT SAME FILES. The folder for profile 1 is a symbolic link to the folder for profile 0. (Yes, you can do symlinks in Windows now.)
    So the profiles are literally exactly the same, but one works and the other doesn't.
    This solves my issue by allowing me to keep my profile on the network, but the other way should still work.
    Any ideas?

    There appears to be a problem with Firefox 20 with UNC paths when using roaming profiles on a server.
