Why can't I change what page my tabs open?

When I open a new tab it brings up a delta search engine, I tried changing it and I can't get it to change.

You can with an add-on!
Check this one to open your homepage in the new tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
And that one to choose the URL to open in a new tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab

Why can't I change the page range?

If I try to print a single page (say page 3) from an AppleWorks 6 document, the Print… dialogue box will not accept anything except the default "Page 1 to Page 1".
The solution is to Quit and Relaunch AppleWorks 6. Now the Print… dialogue box accepts your desired page range. This behaviour is not a one off, it's repeatable.
Can anyone suggest a workaround?

Perhaps not the right forum - but nevertheless Appleworks does seem to have got increasingly buggy with each new system update. As Apple are no longer developing Appleworks, instead concentrating on iWork, there's unlikely to be a solution forthcoming.
I find it helps if I quit and re-open Appleworks after working in it for an hour or so - I think it's just caches filling up but can't be definitive on that.
Either way, do ensure you save your work regularly so the glitches don't catch you out. In my opinion it will be a while before iWork can truly take over Appleworks' mantle, so I'll be continuing to use it, bugs and all.

Why can't I change the page range in Appleworks 6?

In Tiger, the Print… dialogue box allows me to print all pages, all odd pages and all even pages - but not an individual page (except for page 1).
However individual pages from the same document to the same printer (but via my Panther laptop) are handled without any trouble.
Can anybody offer a suggestion?

Hello
As I wrote in my late post, this feature works flawlessly for me.
I assumes that something is corrupted.
It may be in AW's preferences or in the file itself.
For AW's preferences, look at Peggy's good old tip:
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121704>
If it's in the file, try to save it as an AppleWorks 5 document.
Open this new document with AW6.
This protocol forces a complete rebuild of the file's internals and remove the embedded print record.
So I hope that you will be back to a standard behaviour.

How to change what a new tab opens to when auto:config does not work?

Hi,
For an unknown reason my new tab changed from google to a weird yahoo one today. I cannot find how to revert it back even after i made google my home page and default search engine. I checked online and saw that perhaps I could fix things with the auto:config but I cannot even get it to open. When I try a search engine opens up. Any help would be appreciated.

The correct name of that page is about:config and not 'auto:config'.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can check the value of the browser.newtab.url pref.

How do i change what a new tab opens to?

when i open a new tab it goes to BING search.
i want it to go to the location bar.
how can i do this?

Did you try Save mode?

*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for bing via the Filter at the top of the about:config page. 
You can reset all bing related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.

How do I change what a new tab opens up to?

When I open a new tab it opens to AVG search. I would like to change that. How do I do that?

"AVG Safe Search" often makes the "Enter" key not work, it may be opening their search in a new tab since they are the ones with the search by that name. Make sure that you do not have that extension see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
Actually there is more than just the one extension that AVG might install, reinstall AVG Free without the Link Scanner component as mentioned in the above link and always refuse additional baggage offered during an install -- AVG Free does not ask in the free version it just includes it and there are no options once installed in the Free version for components..
Also make sure you don't have the "Ask Toolbar" or other toolbars you did not ask for. see the same link above for Toolbar problems.
It is definitely an extension that causing the behavior you see.

Why can't I change my apple id / email address associated with my apple id ?

My apple id is associated with a gmail address.
I wan't to change it to something else.
So I went to: appleid.apple.com ---> Change apple id ---> Typed in new email address (everything shows green) ---> Hit Save.-->Edit box disappears as if everything went ok ----> But the box showing my apple id, still shows the gmail address!
It still shows my gmail address!! Doesn't send any verification email or anything! No matter what I do, it doesn't let me change it from my gmail address!
It let me change my password though, and also let me change my rescue email address.
Why can't I change my apple id ?

Hi KeanuReeves,
It sounds like you have already done most of the steps in this article relating to changing the email associated with your Apple ID, but you may want to go through them again -

If you are still having difficulty changing the email address, you may want to contact Apple’s account security team using the contact information in this article -

Which email site do you use?
And some general advice:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

I was trying to change the transaction isolation level from an EJB. My source codes are shown as the follows:
======================================================
/*********************** Database Routines *************************/
private void makeConnection() {
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = ( DataSource )ic.lookup( dbName );
con = ds.getConnection();
DatabaseMetaData dmd = con.getMetaData();
show_supported_trans_levels( dmd );
int status = con.getTransactionIsolation();
System.out.print( "1. " );
disp_tx_status( status );
System.out.println( "con.isReadOnly() = " + con.isReadOnly() );
con.setTransactionIsolation( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE );
System.out.print( "2. " );
disp_tx_status( status );
} catch( SQLException ex ) {
System.err.println( "SQLException: " + ex.toString() );
throw new EJBException("Unable to connect to database. " +
ex.getMessage());
} catch( NamingException ex ) {
System.err.println( "NamingException: " + ex.toString() );
throw new EJBException("Unable to connect to database. " +
ex.getMessage());
private void disp_tx_status( int status )
System.out.print( "Transaction Status: " );
switch( status )
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_NONE ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_NONE" );
break;
default:
System.out.println( "UNKNOWN" );
break;
private void show_supported_trans_levels( DatabaseMetaData dmd ) throws SQLException
System.out.println( "List of Supported Transaction Isolation Levels: " );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED is unsupported!" );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED is unsupported!" );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ is unsupported!" );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is unsupported!" );
=========================================================
However, I encountered the following exception when running at the highlighted statement:
======================================================
SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: Transaction manager errors. statement not allowed in XA Session.
======================================================
To my surprise, the isolation level TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported from the database vendor. So why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

To view your media, you open the app that you use to manage that type of media." this on the other hand was zero help
What you did doesn't show the Media Browser. It just shows the folders where your media is stored. You may be correct that was all that cobacc wanted.
The Media Browser shows the actual media in thumbnails so that you can preview the media.
However, neither requires any Sharing services to be enabled.

As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

Why can I not print all pages in a multi-page document?

Why can I not print all pages in a multi-page document?

We are using Adobe Acrobat Reader, version 11.0. It's on a relatively new laptop (Windows 8) and accessing the internet through Mozilla. The printer is an HP Officejet. When I open a multi-page Adobe document and try to print all pages, I only get 1-2, have to then say print page 3, then say print page 4, etc. We use Adobe on our other laptop and it prints all pages of all Adobe documents and we have never had a problem and he accesses documents on the internet also through Mozilla.

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ? I use HP wireless printer .

Are you sure you have the right printer?
In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.
