In trying to connect my new iMac to the internet I got to 'you are wi-fi connected to Talk Talk ip....... but no Web screen showed. Safari said it could not find the file. I (foolishly?) reset Safari which now shows adverts. to Apple Store etc. How do I display my IP home page. Dumbo Switcher Jim:[:[

You're going to have to supply us with more info. Are you using a router and are you connecting wireless? It would also help whenever you ask a question in these forums that you also tell us about your Mac and which version of OS X you're running.

Note that when you reset Safari you have a choice of what should be reset by checking or removing the check from the various items.

You can use the Safari search bar which is now the same as the URL address bar to find your ISP home page. Once you've gone to that page, open Safari preferences "General" and set the current page to your home page.

Also while you're at it, hit the reset button and remove the checks from those items you do not want to be reset. The next time you reset Safari you won't lose all that information.

Thanks for your reply. What I'd like to do is reset Safari to what it was when I took my brandnew iMac out of the box some 4 weeks ago & switched on! Would the action proposed do that?:[
