Why can't I get my old homepage to stay set

I want to set my homepage to what I used to have as a homepage, comcast.net, which has my email on it. I have tried to reset it through the "options" menu but it never sets the "home" button to this page. If I cannot do this I want to get rid of this "upgrade". Please tell me how to fix this.

  • Why can't I get my old bookmarks and passwords back using the 'Old Firefox Data' folder?

    Hi,
    Ok.....
    I have just recovered my Samsung laptop back to the day I purchased it (for a fresh start)
    I have the 'Old Firefox Data' folder on an external hard drive that was created a few weeks ago when I refreshed Firefox
    I've tried this many times but with no luck what so ever:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
    I've re-installed Firefox 3 times
    I've created new profiles and deleted others
    2 Days down and I'm still can't get any of my bookmarks or passwords etc and for some reason when I create a new profile I can't find it as it's not in the location 'Profile Manager' says it is.
    I'm now total lost and getting stressed out as I really need this data.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your reply's.
    I've been able to restore/apply all of my data (bookmarks, passwords etc) on my girl friends computer without any issues at all, therefore it's not something I'm doing wrong.
    I've been so involved with trying to get my profile back on my computer I hadn't noticed that Firefox is not operating as it should, I've found:
    - I'm unable to view/open my profile folder from 'Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder' (when I click 'Show Folder' nothing happens) however when I go to 'C:\Users\AutoStar\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles' I can view the data.
    - I'm unable to save any bookmarks
    - Sometimes when I try to close a tab it will not close as such however once the 'x' is clicked I'm then unable to view the page but the tab still stays visible
    As I said I recovered the laptop back to the day I purchased it (for a fresh start) so Firefox was a fresh install I've also uninstalled and re-installed a few times now but the result is always the same.
    Any ideas?

  • Why can't I get past the restore screen to set up my iPhone?

    I had to get a new iPhone 4 today because I dropped the old one in water.
    When I go to set up the new phone, I have the option to restore from my backup from about a week ago. So I did that...it restores the phone and then usually it goes to the page where you can see the contents of your iPhone and sync music and apps. I can't get past the restore "Set Up Your iPhone" page. I called Apple Support and they do not understand what I'm trying to say and keep telling me to restore my phone. I DID 5 TIMES! It won't let me go beyond that option screen. HELP ME!

    Were they able to help you, I am having the same problem -- when I called, they told me to restart my computer (just completed that)... fingers crossed, I will let you know if it works!

  • Why can't I get a simple logo to stay in my email signature? Why?

    I'm usually pretty good with this stuff, but this is driving me nuts. I've tried to copy a JPEG, or a HTML picture, or coping it from my non apple email before I paste it into my signature and nothing works. Sure, it LOOKS like it's there, it may even work for an email or two but them, it starts disappearing. My letters and phone numbers all show up but the image/logo will magically vanish and show up as a blank box. Please, please there has to be an answer. I looked in the App Store and nothing has good reviews.

    Apple2Core,
    Have you found a solution to this?  I'm working on the same thing and can't figure it out.  I've looked at the iMore post but that doesn't refer to anything with an image / logo which is the problem that i'm facing.  Like you said, the really odd thing about it is that it works for an email or two, but then goes to just boxes.  The hyperlinks from the logos still work but the logo itself is gone??
    I'm using an iPhone 5, as well as 4th gen iPad and same results (both have most updated IOS)
    Thanks.

    The passcode is the answer to the prompt "Enter Passcode" that you are very likely seeing.
    If not, you need to help us by telling us the exact symptoms of what you are seeing.

  • Why can't I get firefoc 6, I had it on my old computer and now I can not find it to download

    I updated to firefox 6 and have since gotten a new computer and now can only download 4.0. Why can't I get at least 5.6 update?

    You likely had FF 3.6 instead of 6. At the moment, FF 4 is the latest version. If you wish to rollback to an earlier version, you can download your preferred version for your OS here:
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
    FF 4 is the latest and greatest. If you are not experiencing specific problems that force you to roll back to an earlier version, you will probably want to stick with FF 4.
    If you do roll back, you may want to back up your profile for safekeeping:

  • Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?

    Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?
    It tells me "unable to confirm account name or password.
    But the same name and password worked on my ipad 2.

    If you have a Gmail account and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate a new "application-specific password" in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password in the Keychain Access application.

  • Why can't I get live streaming video to play

    Why can't I get live streaming video to play in Safari?

    Sorry, but that is old info. On my 21" iMac, I'm running 10.7.1 and the version of Safari is 5.1. On my 24" iMac, I'm running 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. I have even tried to get it to run in Firefox and still no results. I've been able to do live streaming previously, but today I'm hitting a road block. Could there be a setting or preference that I do not have set properly?

  • Why can't I get the slider on the right side to remain active ?

    Why can't I get the slider on the right side to remain "active" ?
    I'm using iTunes 11.4 on a Mac Pro with OS 10.9.5
    In good old iTunes 10.7  there was a slider on the right side that you can move up and down to locate songs.   That same slider is there, (but much smaller), with iTunes 11.4, but it seems to deactivate itself for reasons I do not understand.
    I have found that when I go to the lower right corner and resize the iTunes window the slider will appear briefly.   If I don't act very fast, that slider vanishes and I cannot scroll up and down.
    Thanks !!

    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Why can i only get wi fi connection to my i pad when my laptop is on ? my laptop is connected to  router by wifi not a cord.

    Why can I only get wi fi on my ipad when my computer is on?. My laptop is connected to router by wifi not a cord.

    Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

  • Why can'y we get any help

    for more than 2 years we've repeatedly asked for our comcast tv and internet to be fixed. for 2 years it's been the same thing, change the box and say everything is fine, when it's not. for the last month there have been multiple appontments made with none kept and with no call. no one seems to know a thing or even care and it's gotten way too old, to the point of cancelling and moving on to fios/verizon. so I ask why can't we get any help?. we've asked for an upgrade, no past money is due, can't play video games live (runs too slow) things just do not work as advertised and again no one here or where ever our calls are sent to seems to care. it's we'll send someone on this date and then they don't show, call again and the same thing. 5 times in the month of July alone.

    The Comast team available to the forum has been notified, expect a response here soon.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

  • Why can't I get a straight answer re: Multi Room DVR and HD Boxes

    A rep that I spoke w/ on the phone and the website tells me that the HD set top boxes are not compatiable w/ the Multi Room DVR. But they are working on it. A rep I chatted w/ today told me they definitely WILL work together. Why can't I get a straight answer?? And what IS the correct answer? I want to switch to FIOS and I really like the Multi Room DVR option, but I don't want my 1 of my 2 main TVs to be w/o HD. And since the Multi Room Box is HD why wouldn't it be compatiable w/ the HD boxes??
    Does anyone know what's going on w/ this?? Thanks!

    Joe01880,
    And that info is out of date, whether it is on Verizon's website or not. If you have the latest level of the IMG (1.6), then, as confirmed one post above yours, that the HD STB is now supported, and works. This has been posted in multiple posts on multiple forums, so I believe that it is accurate. But I do not have the 1.6 level so I cannot confirm that personally, I can only repeat what other posters in this and other forums have said. For example:
