When using apps, does the app connect via the safari browser?

iPhone 4s
I know if I use my google app, it is NOT going through the safari browser.
But lets say I use my FoxSports app.
What browser does that run through?

It depends on the design of the app. I use the CNN app a great deal and that provides content through CNN. While it has to connect to the Internet to get the data, it is displaying it in their app. It isn't really connecting to the website, it is connecting to the CNN servers and displaying information in the app. Does that help explain it some?

I've owned Apple desktops since 1995. Firefox looks promisng, but why should I use it over the Safari browser?

I've been stung many times over the years by promises of all the things a browser or website (like Comcast) can do, only to find, that it doesn't apply to Apple products. I'm not tech saavy, but am willing to become more so, if it's worthwhile to do so. I am a public school speech language pathologist and have a chunk of time off work in which to become educated as to how to make this system work for me. My current iMac is only a few months old, so I'm not willing to run out and buy a pc. However, I have an internet provider which only works optimally on the Firefox browser (instead of my former default, Safari) now, and am unwilling to switch back to that horrid Comcast! So it's Firefox for me, as long as you tell me what Macs CAN'T do on Firefox before I get my hopes up for the 100th or more time since 1995.

They may have meant to clear the cache and remove the cookies from sites that cause problems and not a reset that involves a new Firefox profile, so you can try that if it happens again.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)

My iPhone 3Gs has started crashing when using apps once the battery gets down to around 80%.

My iPhone 3Gs has started crashing when using apps once the battery gets down to around 80%. Sometimes it will reboot on its own, and other times you have to leave it for an hour or so and then manually turn the phone on again. Any ideas?

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again?

When on Facebook (for example), Firefox is not allowing me to open pictures; when using apps, the bottom of the screen is missing so cannot utilize the apps. All working on Safari; just downloaded new Firefox 4, so seems to be a problem with this version?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
*You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

You might start with:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the above reveals nothing helpful, then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease?

HT4356 Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?

Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?
or must the printer I want to use also have a wifi connection ?
I have a home network using ethernet connected devices to a router, also attached to th erouter is a WiFi unit. We are using the WiFi unit to connect to the network and hence to the big wide WWW. We now want to print from our IPads pereferable to our netowk connected HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a series. (not the wireless model).
I was using the HP ePrint app to print from the Ipad, but I do not fully understand how this works. It seems that you must use the app to do the printing which is fine for basic email and photos, but I can not access the drawing package I have, and want to print from it. Please what is it that I do not understand.

You must use an airprint printer directly connected to wifi through it's own wifi card.

I am unable to connect to the internet, there is a pop-up that says "We're sorry, but the Safari browse version you are currently using dos no support the community toolbar". My computer does say that it is connected to the internet until I open Safari.

I am unable to connect to the interent. At the top of the screen my computer says that I am connected. When I open up Safari there is a pop up that say "Community Toolbar We're sorry, but the Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar" and when the Safari page opens up it says "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can't open the page .... because your computer isn't connected to the Internet." I have tried Network Diagnostics and tried to reset Sfari, empty Cache as well as deleted all of my interent history. I am unable to use Time Machine because I never set it up. If someone knows how to help I would very much appreciate it!!

Some instructions for removing Community Toolbar are available in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15868085#15868085

My home button is stuck so it cant work and when i am in the safari or app stire i dont know how to go back

My home button is stuck so it cant work and when i am in the safari or app stire i dont know how to go back does anybody know how to get it un stuck?

a temporary fix is to hold down the power button until you see a bar that says "slide to power off". slide the bar and wait about 2 minutes+then holding the power button when screen goes blank for around a minute? your device should now turn back on. you will be at the home menu.
now to know how to fix the problem instead of avoiding it i am not sure. hope this temporarily fixed your problem
is your device still in a 1 year warranty?
