Why do I have Ask as a serch engine rather than Google which it always was ?

I want Google as my search engine when I open Firefox not Ask. How do I do this ?

Ask usually gets installed when you install something else. See screenshot for a typical example.
To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''General''' . 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
Also, click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, Extensions. If you see the Ask Toolbar in there, remove it.

Why do I have two versions of lightroom on my desktop and which one should I delete/uninstall

Why do I have two versions of lightroom on my desktop and which one should I delete/uninstall?

Hi,
Lightroom 5.x and CC will be installed side by side. You may uninstall the prior version one you’re comfortable in the new version of Lightroom.

HT204319 Why don't we list model number with this information rather than the month the model was released? e.g. MacBook 2,1 or 5,2 or whatever.

Why don't we list model number with this information rather than the month the model was released?
e.g. MacBook 2,1 or 5,2 or whatever.

Generally, Apple refers to it's systems by what part of the year they are released, ie early - mid - late. Some people do provide the model number when they post questions, however, generally, the time of year and year released equals the model number.

Why do I have to start Weblogic on Windows differently than recommended?

I have OBIEE 11.1.1. installed on Windows Server 2008 SP1 32-bit and basically running.
After a reboot, I need to get the system up and running.
Section 4.2 of the 11.1.1 Admin Guide says the first step is to start the Administration Server (which I understand to be Weblogic itself).
Section 4.7 says to do this using "startWebLogic.cmd -start" from a windows command console.
But that doesn't seem to work.
However, just doubleclicking on "startWebLogic.cmd" from Windows Explorer seems to work (except my MS-Office Plug-In doesn't seem to work). This double-click is of course not sending the "-start" command line parameter.
Does anyone have any comments on why following the instructions doesn't work.
Also, could my alternate way of starting Weblogic be causing my OBIEE Office Plug-In not to work?
Thanks very much, Russ.

Thanks Christian for your reply. Could I ask a little more please?
I'm wondering why you say starting it with a double click doesn't give it environment variables? Are you saying if I had a bunch of stuff like PATH and what not set for every start of a windows command console, that starting it with a simple doubleclick doesn't grab those environment variables? That's interesting because doubleclick does start up a command console window which likely gets environment from somewhere. You can see the start log of the weblogic web server startup in that command window for several minutes as it starts up. That windows stays open forever.
However, if I run "StartWeblogic.cmd -start", it also seems to start a command console but that disappears almost instantly, and weblogic does not start.
So I can see that perhaps there could be an issue starting weblogic with a doubleclick if it doesn't use the same default environment as a manual start from the command line. But why then does the user guide recommended "StartWeblogic.cmd -start" not work at all?
I have searched StartWeblogic.cmd for "start" and can't find it except in echo and remark statements, or in path names. So I guess it's not used.
On thing I found is this which says there is a GUI way to start WebLogic. "When you create an Administration Server on a Windows computer, the Configuration Wizard creates a shortcut on the Start Menu for starting the server (User Projects > DOMAIN_NAME > Start Admin Server for WebLogic Server Domain)." from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/e13708/overview.htm#i1073146
However, I can't seem to find this on my Windows StartMenu. All I can find is Start > Oracle Weblogic > Quickstart. Do you think this is what the above link is referring too?
Lastly, you mentioned "presentation services". I've bumped into that term several times in my several weeks of trying to get this all up and running. Please what exactly do you mean by "Presentation Services"; I haven't been able to find a good definition of what that is (part of Weblogic, or of OBIEE, or of Node Manager, or of Enterprise Manager, or what? If I knew what Presentation Services was, it would help me to interpret your previous answer.
To answer your question slightly, when I double-click, I can see the Weblogic start up steps for several minutes in a command console window, with the last line saying it is in the started state. Thence if I use Windows StartMenu > Oracle Business Intelligence > Start BI Services, I see another command window start up and see the start up steps being echoed for several minutes. Then OBIEE seems to be up and running (at least enough to run SampleApp Lite). I can sign on to analytics, weblogic em, and fusion em.
But I do see some errors go by in the command consoles, and wonder if these are related to me double-clicking rather than using "startWeblogic.cmd -start". But using the latter just doesn't plain work.
Thanks very much for any further insight you can provide. Gratefully, Russ.

Any possible way to have tool panel(s) on different monitor than that which shows results?

All,
I believe the answer is no but it's worth asking.
I have a "good" and a "old-but serviceable" monitor, both 1920 x 1200 and driven by a AMD FirePro 4900 GPU. "Good" means a new color-managed, wider-gamut, Asus PA246. "Old..." means TN-tech Gateway-branded unit bought in 2008. If I make the ASUS the primary monitor under Win7 64-bit I get to see the results of color shifts and contrast decisions in Lightroom, DxO, whatever. I have been looking at these post-processing changes on the Asus wider-gamut display by turning on the "Secondary Monitor" choice. But it's like a tennis match: my head goes back and forth many times a second, because the tool is so far from the better rendered image. Yes, they are set side-by-side on my desk, both horizontal. (I did like the portrait orientation for the tools display(Gateway TN), as it is great for productivity outside of Lightroom.)
I also use a WACOM Intuos5, but I think that does not add anything here. That has its own neck-killing useability issues (...but I like the tool.)
So I believe we do NOT haven access to any kind of tear-away tool palettes. right?

I do see how you might want to move tool panels to a different screen, for the best view of your picture - but at the same time, I don't see how you can comfortably do so all the time, because this means bouncing your attention from one screen to the other - the critical editing involves both the image and the sliders together. That was why I suggested keeping Grid view available: it's rather a distinct mode of working in any case. Many things you do there can be done off keystrokes, using icon badges, right-click context menus and so on. I suspect every single LR user has a unique combination of things they like to do with keystrokes, vs things they like to do with the mouse. We work best when the tools are comfortable to us, IMO.
So Tab and Shift+Tab give you instant room to work on your primary (or single) screen, but - importantly - without breaking the chain of thought. My hesitation about jumping the interface back and forth between screens, is that we shouldn't be really thinking much about the interface, we should have our attention on the pictures.
Using loupe info overlay can remove some need to refer to metadata panels, also there's a handy little info summary under the histogram. Once you have some view filter presets saved, some export presets saved, recently accessed collections in the list, and so on... the need to constantly go out of and back to the Develop-window-plus-filmstrip does reduce. Thumbnail badges are great - clicking them takes you to the control involved, and you can manage stacking etc nicely that way.

Why PR SC SITS as first in the workarea rather than SC -soco

Hi
I have 10 PRs- SC and 10 SC - for material 1000011
i have added all 20 sc items in the cockpit workarea.
why PR shopping cart sits as first rather than SRM sc items.
add both shopping cart into workarea.
pr-sc for material 100011 - first
sc for material -1000011 - second
why PR shopping cart shpws as first ? is it srm standard?
Muthu

Hi Muthu,
Once the data is copied to PO from SC (from Cockpit) while creating a PO.
If buyer / purchaser can edit the copied data in PO and If he changes the product category in the PO other than SC.
As per the SAP SRM Standard Functionality
1) System always over rides buyer edited data over copied data in the PO ( I Mean priority for purchaser edited data). This is logical also. because, the SC creator may not have complete knowledge on the Prodcut category and purchase data like Purchaser / Buyer has.
2) System always check the prodcut category used in PO with the Prodcut category used in Contract. Not with the Contaract Prodcut Category V/S Shopping cart Prodcut Category.
Hope this clears your querry.
Thanks
Girisha

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

I have CS4 but am installing CS6 rather than upgrading. Do I need to uninstall CS4?

I am still using CS4 at prepsent but am installing the complete CS6 rather than upgrading. Do I need to uninstall CS4 or is that taken care of when installing CS6?

There should be no problem, having two versions of PS installed. For nearly every program, and for decades, Adobe installers do NOT overwrite existing versions of any program - the installation is complete, and separate.
While I have not tested with PS CS 6, going back, I had PS 4.0.1, PS 7.0.1 and PS CS installed on the same computer. The first, was to do something, that was changed in PS 5.0, and that I used about twice per year. The latter two, were because I knew PS 7.0.1, and had just upgraded to CS, and was learning the differences (significant). I kept PS 7 around, in case a client called at 5:00PM with a revision, and the courier was enroute. I did not want to fumble with a new interface, when under deadline. Never had one issue.
Good luck,
Hunt

The tabs I have open show as new tabs rather than the websites I had opened.

I have a large number of tabs open in a window, and when I hit "restore previous session" to open them, they are shown as "new tab" rather than the websites I had opened. Prior to the previous two updates, I had no problem with this, but now it's a recurring issue on Firefox.

Make sure that the history and possibly the disk cache are working.
Do you see the history in the History Manager (Library; Show All History)?
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Privacy+panel
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

When I open notepad files that are attachments from a webpage, is there anyway to have them open immediately every time rather than ask if I want to open/save and then having to click OK?

I have checked the "do this automatically" box and it makes no difference.

Try here:
Tools > Options > Applications
Enter JPEG into the search box and change any that say "Save file" to "Always ask".
Does it work?
Edit: Forgot one other relevant setting. On:
Tools > Options >General tab
pick "Always ask me where to save files"
All good now?

I received a text from another iPhone user who does not have an iPad, why did I receive the text on my iPad rather than my iPhone?

I have both the iPhone and New iPad and I was under the impression when sending a text it went from iPhone to iPhone or iPad to iPad. Also, if I send a text from my iPad to someone who only has the iPhone, it comes in on their iPhone. However, I received a text from an individual who only has an iPhone and it came to my iPad and never showed up on my phone...Which means had I not been at home I would not have known I had a text on my iPad???? How does it determine which device it will appear on?

You are probably right - I don't have my iPad with me and was confusing myself. But on the iPad it is receive at email addresses only.
Sending to the phone number will mean ONLY your iPhone gets the message. If you want it to go to ALL devices, then you should have them send to the email address associated with the AppleID you used to set up iMessage originally. Also set that email address up as your caller id on the iPhone so as you send out messages, people will reply to that and both your devices should get them.
Although Apple's notes indicate you should be able to do it - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
what if you just type in a 10-digit phone number on the iPad instead of an email?
(I originally did all this with iOS 5.0, and I know then the number did not work on an iPad, but maybe with iOS 5 updates, it does now?)

Why am I getting sharper printouts from Windows Photo Viewer than PSE 7? This was not always the case. has something in my settings changed? I have tried all obvious solutions but no change. How can i get the best image print outs from PSE?

I prefer to print from PSE as this allows me to set picture dimensions. Windows photo viewer does not give this flexibility. I am using the same PC, the same printer and the same print file, yet the outcome from each software option is significantly different. WPV is sharp and bright whereas PSE is softer. Can any one help me?

Anytime I click on a .pdf I am asked to save the document rather than allowing me to just view it.

Anytime I click on a link to a .pdf I am asked to save the document. I would like to simply view most. I have been unable to determine how to change this. I am not sure whether it is a setting in Firefox, Acrobat, or my system. In the dialogue box that asks whether I would like to open or save the file, I had checked the box indicating that the files should always be opened, but this did not happen. It kept asking whether to "open file" or "save file." Then I had a file I wanted to save, so I clicked that radio button and saved that file. Now, it will no longer allow me to open files.
Thanks for your help...

Please update to the most recent version of Firefox:
*[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
[[How to fix preferences that won't save]] or reset the saved setting in the Applications panel-> [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
Or set it as default:
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
#In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Why would it be preferable to reinstall OS X rather than restore from time machine backup after Internet recovery?

Hello,
I have not been able to startup my less than one year old MacBook Air (had flashing question mark folder on grey screen and startup manager only appeared once but froze) and so finally managed to do Internet recovery.
Now get 4 options:
Restore from TM backup
Reinstall OS X
Get help online
Disk utility
I'm really new to mac and am wondering why the kind user here who has answered my previous questions has recommended reinstall over restore option? And why not disk utility which says it could repair a disk...although it also says it could erase a disk which sounds pretty scary to me!
Also, am I right in thinking reinstall would be like the reformatting I did on pc, ie will get me back to a 'new' system?
And if I choose this option can I then get the majority of my stuff back from time machine backup on external hd?
Thank you for your help with this.
