CS4 & CS5 will not edit Home Page. All other pages edit fine.

Called tech support and they said to make this duplicate post, so I will. I am using CS4 Trial in XP 32 bit, and CS5 Trial in Vista 64-bit. Neither version will edit my home page. All other pages edit fine. http://www.audiofilesolutions.com.
I have checked to be sure I am listed as Admin on both versions.
When trying to edit the home page, all text and content collapse and will not allow editing. Very top and very bottom menu bar remain. Here is a pic.
As you can see above, there is nothing to edit other than the top and bottom hyperlinks.
Here is a pic of what the edit view should show. This is another page and not the home page.
This is a freshly designed site and I can't edit it until this is resolved. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Robbin,
The code in the index page needs some correction.
Then it renders fine in Contribute in Edit mode.

Will not load home page

(1) My home page is set to: http://www.google.com/ig?source=gama&hl=en. My firefox startup option is ShowMyHomePage.
(2) When I first start up firefox, my home page will not load, and I keep getting the firefox support page. Note: As of a few days ago, the firefox support page also has a broken link.
(3) When I manually click on the firefox HOME icon, my home page is loaded correctly.
Cheers

Safari will not open home page and other glitches since upgrade

Strange stuff happening since I did the Combo Upgrade 10.4.11. Safari will not open to my home page. I have used preferences to set the home page but closing Safari and restarting still opens a blank page with no URL in the address box. I also noticed that several pages I have opened that have log in fields don't allow tabbing to the next field. I have checked all the preferences and every thing seems right. I have trashed Safari and its preference folder, downloaded the upgrade and used Pacifist to reinstall Safari. I used Disk Utility to repair permissions. Still I can't can't get a home page to load. Before the reinstall, I synched with .Mac to save my bookmarks and synched again afterwards to bring them into the fresh install of Safari. What should I do now?

Here is a culmination of my searching and efforts that fixed this issue for me. I find it necessary to run Disk Utility more frequently.
1) Trash Safari preferences in all user accounts:
Computer/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
2) Empty trash
3) Move files from Input manager to desktop
/Users/YourUsername/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/InputManagers/
4) Restart computer
5) Close Safari if automatically opens on restart
6) Open disk utility: Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
7) Verify permissions
8) Repair permissions
9) Reopen Safari
10) Return Input Manager files from Step 3, ONE FILE AT A TIME from Desktop to Input Manager Folder and Restart between moves.

FF4 will not open home page -- say try again. I cannot get home page to come up and therefore cannot even get startedno

FF4 has been working just fine but recently stopped loading loading home page (igoogle) upon startup -- says could not load page try again -- try again returns same response and as a result I cannot go anywhere and am dead in the eater. IE work just fine but I prefer FF4. OS is XP

To do this your device should be firstly connected to computer and iTunes is open. Put your device into dfu mode: 1.turn off your device 2.press and hold power and home button simultaneously for 10 seconds and release power and keep holding home until iTunes says a device in recovery mode. now should be able to restore.

Safari will not remember home page

This actually happened when I originally upgraded to Lion but has continued with Mountain Lion. I have a Mac Mini and an iMac and this occurs on both computers. When I open Safari rather than going to the home page as it did with Snow Leopard it returns to the last page I visited. I checked Safari preferences and it shows my home page as set properly. Is there any other thing that needs to to set in preferences so Safari opens to the home page? I have cleared history, reset Safari and anything else I can think of but it continues ot return to the last page visited. What am I missing?

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist (preferences) on one of the Macs.
Quit Safari then open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.

New Firefox, will not save home page and opens up displaying all add-ons every time!

Okay - for YEARS now I've used ONLY Firefox - it had the best extensions and add-ons of any other browser out there. Add to it, it was safe and very quick. So it was my default browser.
This week I logged into my DeviantArt site and odd advertisements started showing up in the lower left and right corners of the browser, unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Add to it, they were very inappropriate! So I assumed that something was wrong, and went through three, as in 3, programs to find out if I had any 'bugs' causing the problems. And of course, there was some kind of nasty bug in Firefox causing all kinds of issues.
So, following the suggestions of the fixer, plus the suggestions here, I deinstalled Firefox (21) then reinstalled the newer version, 23. At first, I thought, "Wow, that is really fast!". When I opened Firefox it didn't go to my home page, it went to the Firefox startup page, along with opening tabs for EVERY add-on and extension!
So, opened Tools, Options and reset the home page to my home page, https://www.google.com
Simple, and something I've done before. I'm a computer geek and have worked on my own additions. So, set up my home page, was working in Firefox, went to youtube to download a video and it wouldn't! So went to DLhelper, read their comments, changed one of the strings, and voila! No problems!
So I thought it was fixed and I was happy. That was last night. This morning I boot the puter and the first thing I do is open Firefox . And what happens? Oh, yes, that's right, NOTHING THAT I WOULD HAVE WANTED! It's back to the Firefox startup page, and it opens tabs for EVERY SINGLE ADD-ON!
Holy carp, getting tired now. So I research from 8 this morning until about an hour ago, so just over 5 hours I keep trying to fix it based on Firefox instructions. Go into about:config, work on the strings, change the home page info, etc. Save it. Go back to Tools, Options and there's my home page. Close Firefox and open it, and what the heck? Again, back to where it was, opening as if I just uploaded this browser. Now I've spent literally HOURS trying to fix this and I'm so frustrated that I'm just about ready to de-install it! My one complaint is that I searched all over to try and find this same problem and cannot find it. Is that true, I'm the only one with this bizarre problem???

EDIT - Now that it's fixed, I shall remove my negative comments where I can. Oddly, the final reset fixed it...

The search bar will not load, home page frozen after down load of new version

Frustrated! I am a teacher and now that I have finally downloaded the new version of Firefox, the search link is frozen on the home page and there is a blank bar that does nothing below it.'''bold text'''

Hi johnFD, 
you should see these articles at first. These are pretty informative regarding your problem. 
* [[Search bar - Easily choose your favorite search engine]]
* [[Search the web from the Address Bar]]
 
Also, have a look at these topics: 
* [[How do i change the default search engine in the search bar?]]
* [[Forum Response - Reset location bar search provider]]
Finally, there is a Firefox Extension which can reset your preferences to their default values called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset] 
Could you try anything of these and then report back?

When i open itunes it will not show home page

I cannot open the iTunes home page on my PC to manage my new iPadMini. When I open itunes it goes straight to my music library - originally created for my iPod.

Click on your preference and check the Parental tab for possible restrictions. Open iTunes, then click the iTunes menu, select preferences after the window opens click on the Parental icon, take a look at the content restrictions section.

4.0.1 will not load home pages instead loads last view pages even with it set for showing only home page.

I have set under tools, options, general tab for showing my home page but when I restart firefox it loads the last viewed sites instead of the home page.

It seems to be a bad interaction between Tomcat and running as a Windows service.
No thoughts out there?
I guess I'll be forced to upgrade to Tomcat 4.1.27 or 4.1.28. - MOD

I sign into my provider OK but, will not load home page.

My provider is Wildblue.net. They recommended using Mozilla Firefox. Everything seemed to work OK until I upgraded to Firefox 5. When I now try signing into Wildblue, My sign in and password are excepted OK. When I hit Login my computer screen just runs and runs and runs with "waiting for gogglepartnerpage.com". The only way I Have found, for getting it to advance (Load) is to double click on the Homepage Icon in the Wildblue tool bar. (Sometimes more than once)
Browser speed also appears to have slowed down.
Is there a compatibility issue with Wildblue and Firefox 5?
Are others experiencing the same issue?
Should I return to Firefox 4? If so, how?
I have used Internet Explorer and don't seem to experience any problem. I would prefer using Mozilla Firefox. That's where my bookmarks are located and Wildblue recommends.

See this older thread for possible suggestions.

Interent Explorer 11 Will Not Save MSN Page a Default Home Page

I am currently running Windows 8.1 with Internet Explorer 11. I set My MSN page in the internet options section. It will be my home page as long as I do not close Internet Explorer. When I reopen Internet Explorer, I have to click the tab on the upper right
hand side to sign in? I do not have to sign in, it just brings me to My Msn page. Why must I have to click the "Sign in" button each time. Prior to using Windows 8.1 and or Internet Explorer I never had to sign in again once I set My MSN page as
the default home page. Has anyone experienced this issue and or have a fix for myself.
Thank you for your time in this matter.

Hi,
The issue may occurred duo to some websites that do not allow usernames and passwords to be remembered.
You may turn on the setting to have the Username and Password be remembered by MSN to troubleshoot the issue.
Please follow these steps:
1. After signing in on MSN, click Help & Settings on top then go to Settings.
2. At the left hand side, click on Internet Options.
3. Under Internet options Settings, click on Temporary Internet Files.
4. Once Internet Options or Properties show up, go to the Content tab on top.
5. Click Settings under AutoComplete.
6. On the AutoComplete Settings page, put a check on User names and passwords on forms and Ask me before saving passwords.
7. Click Ok. Back on Internet Options, click Apply at the bottom right then Ok.
Please note: There are certain websites that do not allow usernames and passwords to be remembered due to security concerns. This could be the reason why the abovementioned steps may fail.
Hope it helps.
Regards,

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my computer is slow and will not open some pages can i uninstall

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my mac is really really slow and will not open some pages. Can I uninstall?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
