Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

After the update, pressing Enter no longer works to go to a URL, nor does it work in the Google Search bar thing.

Pretty much what the question says. I updated to the latest Firefox, and now this really irritating thing happens.... It happens lots of places too. Some specific things:
* Clicking on the address bar at all does not bring up the little flashing cursor thing, and generally gives me no indication that I've actually clicked on the URL. Same with that little google search thing in the upper right.
* Most frustratingly, when I press enter after putting in a URL, it won't even go to the site.
* After getting annoyed at both of those things, I try to type in something on a website, and though the URL stays the same, it starts dropping down a lot of suggestions from my history.
* Lastly, when I'm doing my crosswords on Washington Post and I switch to a different tab to type something on there, it doesn't switch my typing thing over - it stays on the crossword, typing things into that rather than into the typing field I clicked on to start typing in.
So, yeah, this is highly annoying, and I'd love for any help for these issues...
I did look at the FAQs, and they said something about the AVG SafeSearch thing causing one of my problems, but I don't have that extension, so it's definitely not that!

The AVG Safe Search extension can cause problems with the Enter key not working in the location bar.

When i select and try to load a page from the google search bar firefox freezes - firefox 4 win 7 bullguard antivirus.

When I search for something in the google search bar, the search completes but if I select a result firefox freezes and will not load the page. Pages load ok from bookmarks.

Were you typing in the search box on the Navigation Toolbar, or in the search box on a Google page?
Did the entire browser turn upside down, or just the page content?
Because you posted from IE10, the forum didn't capture any information about your plugins or extensions. Rather than compile a list, you might just try Firefox's Safe Mode, a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Can you replicate the problem?
Safe mode does not automatically disable plugins. If you want to rule those out as well, you can disable them here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any difference?

Can no longer enter data in the address bar {url Bar}, it correctly follows data from google search bar. It was a 1 month old installation so not a lot of complications

I was not adding anything to Firefox. I Refused tool bars embedded in several application installs on this new computer. Was working fine. Then had a problem with Google search, restored default values and re-tooled Firefox. At this point all worked fine. Then my url, address bar changed color to the same color as the program shell, a grey brown as opposed to the white it was before. With the change in color it no longer allows me to change the data showing in the bar. I can not delete or add data. I used to add a url and navigate to the domain. Now I can not

Greetings,
TY for the reply, the information was enlightening to be sure. I never knew safe mode was an option with Firefox. I have so many tasks running that I didn't want to shut things down. What I did is turn off some of the last plug-ins I installed. That did not fix the problem at least in the first look. What happened next was very interesting none the less. I had a moment of mouse spastic wrist syndrome and accidentally moved a tab in such a way that it opened in a new window. The URL bar was white and editable. So I moved all my tabs to the new window and everything works as it should. I have restarted Firefox this morning and it came back with the bar editable and I am speechless to understand what I may have done to correct the problem if anything ??

I want to change the "blinking solid line cursor" to something that is easier to see when typing in a url or like on this line where I type this question.

I want to change the "solid straight blinking line"....to something easier to see. It is really hard to see it especially in the box where one types in a URL. Thanks

You can widen the "I-beam" cursor but if I recall correctly, the thicker it gets the more it will overlap the text to some extent so that can sometimes affect readability.
The following thread has the "under the hood" settings for this: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/900479 Size of the text cursor (insertion point)?]
Can you get a display that you like?
''Edit: The problem I remembered was when the blinking was turned off. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/949937 i need smth like `ui.caretInvert: true`].''

When typing in a URL in an outgoing e-mail how do you make it clickable for the recipient

When I send an e-mail to a friend and I use Internet Explorer I can include a URL in the body of the message that turns blue and is clickable by the recipient.ie:he easily reaches the website.
In using Firefox I can type the same URL in,it doesn't change
color and the recipient has to enter it in some other fashion in order to reach the website.

It sounds like the album metadata is incorrect, or differs from song to song in iTunes. Albums with various artists will play properly assuming all the songs are tagged with the same identical album name, as well as the track number. For the Halo 2 Soundtrack, metadata should look like this:
Song: <Song Title>
Artist: <Song Artist>
Album: Halo 2, Vol. 1 (Original Soundtrack)
Genre: Soundtrack
I had a similar problem with my imported Cowboy Bebop albums and the mixture of artists/album names. Once I adjusted the metadata, all of them play in the correct order just by selecting the Album from the available list or in Coverflow.

I want to take off my google search machine from toolbar. I followed your indications, but, when I select google, the buton 'remove' or erase don't appear 'clickable'. so. what can i do?

i can not click remove when i select google from the google machine in my toolbar
what can i do?

Firefox search bar:
* Unable to search or add new engines - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_search_or_add_new_engines
* Corrupt localstore.rdf - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Search_engines_disappear_from_search_bar
Deleting the search.sqlite simply means engines will reappear in alphabetical order, you can rearrange them and/or delete some. That does not affect the extension in the extensions folder.

I get redirected to a 'sales' type site when I select an entry which is a result of a google search.

After I do a google search I select one of the resultant entries to go to. Rather than get there I redirected to some kind of a 'sales' site which does coincidentally have one or more of my search arguments in the items which appear on the page.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.

Made Link with iTunes Link Maker. Want link to appear in Google search results. What next?

Hey all,
Just a quick question following some exposition.
I have a book sitting in the iTunes store, and just came across the Link Maker feature to, well, make a link for it. I made a link, which I'd like to have appear in Google search results. In order for that to happen, do I...
...just wait for Google to crawl itunes.apple.com, and hope that it shows up?
...manually submit the link to Google through Google's apparatuses?
or does Apple have a mechanism for making it appear in Google search results without any further effort from me? I realize rankings and SEO are entirely different questions, but wondered how the submission process plays out.
Mods, if this question isn't in the right place, feel free to move it.
My thanks in advance!

or does Apple have a mechanism for making it appear in Google search results without any further effort from me?
I never heard of such a thing, and given that Apple thinks and functions largely as a closed ecosystem, it seems rather unlikely.
If you have a way to submit directly to Google, go for it.
As an experiment, I suggest you try a few books that have similar audiences as yours, and search for them on Google, Bing, etc, and see where the results take you.

I have lost my url type in window to go to new sites and I have also lost the google search on the right side

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/855147''
url bar is gone, along with the google search window, I have tried control click in the header space, along with command click, nothing works.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Disappearing features! - URL & Google Search windows gone from top panel

I just launched Safari and it has lost the long input box across the top panel (into which I'd type a url) and it's also lost the Google Search input box from right hand end of the top panel (See screen shot). There was nothing I did prior to this change that was different or unusual.
I've tried doing TechTool Deluxe repair and DiskWarrior repair with no success.
Should I reinstall the OS (Snow Leopard)? Surely not just for this one issue - everything else is great.
Is there a Safari installer available somewhere?
Should get another copy of Safari (I have a copy on backup disk) and just copy and paste it into Apps folder to replace the damaged one?
Many thanks in advance for any advice offered.

Oh DOH me!!! Ha haa. Many thanks!! You're so right. That's much better - just like new again.
But why would that have happened suddenly without me using that Customize Toolbar feature before??
Many thanks!

Want google results when typing into url

Hello, When I used to type into the URL I would automatically get Google Search Results (if it was not a valid URL).
Now I get AltaVista Google Search Results.
I want to change this preference back, so that it goes to standard google search results again.
Anyone any idea how to do this ?
It happened when i installed AltaVista Toolbar, I have removed AltaVista toolbar, and the problem is still there. Also reinstalled FF, and still there. HELLLLLP !

# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# In the filter box type '''keyword'''
# Right-click on '''keyword.URL''' and choose '''Reset''' to set it back to Google
# Also make sure '''keyword.enabled''' is set to '''true''' (double-click to change its value)

I want to stop it going to OpenDNS when I type a word in the url area. I want it to go to google.

I want to stop it going to OpenDNS when I type a word in the url area. I want it to go to Google.
I have changed the keyword.URL to http://www.google.com.my/search?q=
But this only works for terms with a space in it. For example:
Typing: "word1 word2" will go to Google
Typing: "word" Goes to OpenDNS
Furthermore... If I type in "eBay" it will take me to eBay.com (as I would expect) but if I type in another site like "tip20" it goes to OpenDNS.
How do I fix this once and for all.

Use a keyword search via the location bar. 
You can add a keyword to a search engine if you click the search engine icon on the search bar and open Manage Search Engines. Select a search engine and click the "Edit Keyword" button. You can use a one letter keyword like g for Google. 
Then you can type g word or g word1 word2 in the location bar to do a search.

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
