How to Change the Homepage on an Apple Computer
The Web browser that comes pre-installed on all Apple Mac computers running OS X is called Safari. By default, the Safari browser first opens to a Web page about Apple whenever you open it, but this can easily be changed to the website of your choice. Customizing the default homepage in Safari is an ideal way to make sure that every time you open the browser, the first website you see is your favorite.
