• Just upgraded to El Capitan and Safari will not use Google

  "I set Google as my preferred search engine under the ' Preferences > > Search" tab, but whenever I type something in the address bar it still use Yahoo!

  Can anyone offer advice on removing Yahoo! as the default search engine?

  Thank you.

  You certainly have a form of malware/adware installed that replaces your preferences whenever you launch Safari.

  Quit the Apple Safari > force quit menu. Relaunch Safari since the Dock icon while holding the SHIFT key. Clear your Safari history and Web data.

• Is it possible do not use iCloud?

  Somewhere around IOS 9.3.1 it seems impossible to use my iPhone 4S without using iCloud. I cannot accept the terms of service to iCloud and won't be using iCloud, but it seems now that I can't install 9.3.2,and I can't sync my calendar between my Mac and my phone and I am presented with a contract about iCloud TOS screen 5 times a day. I'm not, and I never want to iCloud, but it seems to now use it or lose a lot of functionality.

  If I agree to service, can I make sure that absolutely none of my friends are stored in iCloud? According to my interpretation of the agreement, it seems impossible.

  Ban all this, is it possible to go back to an older version of IOS? I never would have used this phone if I had to accept at first, but now it seems that I must accept it or lose key features.

  Thank you!

  First of all, there is no 'legitimate' way to downgrade a version of iOS.  Don't try to "jailbreak" your phone.  Ask for trouble.

  As far as I know that there is no reason why you SHOULD use iCloud, but, as you say, you will lose the major feature.  I follow the last section of this article:

  iCloud: use iCloud.com

  and make sure you have signed-out icloud of every device you have (although if I read your post right, you've never signed in).  On your iOS iOS device 8 or 9 go to:

  Settings > iCloud > Backup, then turn it on iCloud backup (and everything else), also (for good measure) go to:

  Settings > general > storage & use iCloud

  and manage storage ICLOUD and make sure you have everything off here.

  I consider your backup a backup for my iTunes backup.  So for me, the worst of not having an iCloud account is not able to use the functionality of theft protection to locate my phone, but it's your choice.

• After upgrade to El Capitan Time Machine does not automatically

  Recently, I upgraded my Macbook Pro and iMac 24 to El Capitan.  Time Machine does not automatically work on the iMac.   I now use the backup to get a backup to run.  MacBook Pro is very well.

  Thinking that this might be the associated time Capsule, I removed the disc from the Capsule and ran Spinrite on it.  Car is very good.  Then I deleted all the files on the Time Capsule and created new Time machine backups on two computers.  No problem, except the iMac not run automatically Time machine.

  And yes the selection for Time Machine is configured to run automatically.

  A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

  Please, back up all data before proceeding.

  First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

  Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

  If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

  Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

  Restart the computer and test.

• My windows Live Mail has frozen. Lost contacts, does not work online, can not open messages

  While away from home, I used my mobile to get online and download emails. As soon as I saw them, I clicked on 'work offline' in order to read and write the answer without using the 3 G for too long.  Since then, I have not been able to work online so I can't send or receive emails or open the 'old'. Also, my contacts have disappeared.
  I tried "System Restore" and repair Windows Live essential.  Neither made any difference.
  Can anyone help, please!  It is a disaster.
  Thanks, Ros

  Dear RosMarsden

  Even if you have lost any info at the end of Windows Live Mail client on your laptop desktop computer, it can not be lost completely, as the good sign is have you worked offline, data so never synchronized with the real Active Server to web-based Microsoft account. Try as a solution to connect to http://www.outlook.com/ and see if you can see all of your emails and contacts. If you can view online repair and then at the end of your computer is easy, let us know if you can reach your contacts online via the Web page and NOT Windows based on the client software.

• upgrade to El Capitan and I wanted to use AHT

  I have a Macbook Pro running 10.7.5 and wanted to move to El Capitan.  I got a response and a part of it said to stop, restart and hold down the d key to get AHT to run and are looking for hardware problems before I update.  Well, I did it and I finally got a series of Bang.  I took out the key d and rebooted my macbook pro.  So, how do AHT?

  Depending on the age of your Mac, there is no such as a partition on your drive. In this case, it would be on your OEM installation DVD.

• Import old box Inbox and sent in the Mail after upgrading to El Capitan

  There has been much discussion about the e-mails lost after upgrade to El Capitan, but I have not seen this particular question.

  I discovered that, like many others, all emails in my Inbox and in my sent folder to leave before the upgrade had disappeared. The issue has not affected the emails I had moved to folders.

  Open the mail library file (in the Finder, hold down the Option key selecting go to the top menu and the library appears), I discovered that Mail was created a new file V2, account, while the old one, V3 (created in 2013), sitting next to her. Go by the size files, it seems fair to assume that the V3 still contains my "lost" emails

  So, I don't know if the bug is that a new V2 should have been created at all, or is it a sync error, or something else. What I know is that when I try to import the items from Inbox and sent from the V3, I get an error message telling me that no mbox valid was found. This is patently false.

  I also tried to copy on an external hard drive, gave them a different name, but even then I couldn't import them. Reconstruction did not help either.

  Anyone able to help? I have a few crucial e-mails out there, and I try to avoid the upgrade...

• Help, please! Lost contacts.

  Somehow in the past few days I lost some of my contacts that I have / text of the call all the time.

  I tried to restart taking the sim card and the battery several times and lost contacts have not been restored.

  I went to my GMail account to see if the contacts were in this list and they weren't which was also strange.

  Help, please!

  When you view your google contacts, there is more then one place to look - on pc - category wise.

  New contacts appear to be under 'other contacts' at the bottom of the list on the left and not under "my contacts".

• ScanDisk USB Flash Drive problem after upgrade to El Capitan

  After the upgrade to El Capitan, I can't access the vault secure on my USB Cruzer facet flash drive. I have Plug and display files as usual but when I try to open the safe, I get the message ' Scan Disk Secure Access V 2.0 requires San Disk USB Flash Drive. Please insert one. »

  The Flash Player has worked fine before the upgrade to El Capitan and I can still use the files outside of the secure vault but, basically, I cannot now access the secure vault. I'd appreciate any thoughts on how this can be resolved. I only am not an expert so please, keep it pretty simple.

  Sounds like a problem of compatibility with the Secure Access software and the OS X El Capitan of SanDisk.  Try download and install the latest version of Secure Access of SanDisk.

  It seems also be other users having the same problem, you may get better assistance with this through SanDisk.  Someone else said that upgrading to the latest version of Secure Access has solved the problem.

• 9.2 that my contacts does not open on Air iPad updated

  After having upgraded to 9.2 my contacts does not open on iPad Air but iPhone 5 s is ok? How can I fix the iPad because of the Air.

  Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

  • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
  • Press and hold the Home button
  • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

  Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

  If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

  Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

• My address book contacts have disappeared since the upgrade to El Capitan. Where are they?

  Hi, I upgraded to El Capitan yesterday and all the contacts in my address book Thunderbird disappeared. The AddressBook is completely empty. In addition, he didn't even address on the left hand books, for example "personal address book" etc. My contacts are stored on my computer? If so, where they are located and how can I get back to my address book? I've been adding contacts for a few years. When I compose email, email addresses are auto-fill in the field of composition, so it seems they are still out there? Thank you.

  Open the address book window.
