Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks!

It really isn't a well thought out 'gesture' when a normal scroll action can result in an unwanted zoom but disabling SmartZoom wasn't an option for me—one of those with eyes that tire easily when reading very small text on a 27" display.
For a while I used command-+ and command-'-' to read small text but that isn't supported in some apps and for Safari it often leaves the browser in an less than perfect state when moving to the next page.  I also tried option scroll to zoom the whole display but that was not desirable, either.
I finally settled on leaving SmartZoom enabled and remembering to double tap with one finger whenever the undesired zoom happens. It happens so often that the double tap is almost a reflex action for me.

  • After installing Lion my time machine using a Time capsule backups take a very long time, particularly indexing the back up, does any one know why and a fix?

    I have installed Lion over Snow Leopard and noticed a marked increase in the time it takes my time capsule/time machine to back up.  It seems to spend a very long time indexing the back up.  Does any one know why and more importantly is there a "fix"?

    The first index with Lion takes a very long time.  Could take over 10 hours.  You just have to wait.  You can see the progress by opening Console and entering backupd in the search box

  • My ipad isnt charging when em connecting it with my laptop any one knows why ?

    My ipad isnt charging when em connecting it with my laptop any one knows why ?

    The iPad pulls 10 Watts of power in order to charge the battery.  The USB port on a laptop only puts out 2.5 watts (I may be off on this slightly but I know it is way less then 10) So yes you do need to use the 10 watt wall charger that comes with the iPad to charge it.  You can use the 5 watt charger from an iPhone but the iPad will not get to 100% charge and it will really overheat the iPhone wall charger.  Only do this in an emergency and keep a close eye on the charger as it will get REALLY REALLY HOT. I only do this when I don't have my iPad wall charger with me and only for about 15 minutes at a time.  Then I let the charger cool down for about 15 minutes before I plug it back in.
    There is talk that future laptops will have usb ports that can push 100 watts but that is a way down the road I am sure.

    Hi I'm just wondering does any one know why the email to reset ur password hasn't came to my email address its been 2 days and I have been trying since No Emails ? anyone know what happening ?

    Either it ended up in a spam filter or it isn't being sent to that address. If you can't find it, use the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article to contact the iTunes Store staff.

        Hey Webbrowser.  I am sorry for the delayed response and that bluetooth and WiFi was giving your device some troubles. I hope that you had a nice vacation that you had a safe return.
    Are you still having issues with WiFi and Bluetooth?
    If so, please try resetting the network settings, http://vz.to/uLOEAI.
    After you update the network settings, please update us with results and let us know if the WiFi and Bluetooth are now working.

    any one know ... whats the cheapest laptop that will run AE cc in the uk

    unfortunately system requirements, (in general), are usually the MINIMUM required to run the program. the more complex your intended use of the software is, the more you need to consider beefing up the 'system requiremets'.
    let's face it:
    After Effects CC (2014) system requirements and language versions
    Windows
    Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
    is a joke to start with....

  • TS2972 My home sharing on itunes is on but can't see it on my apple tv... any one knows why... I checked every thing

    My home sharing on itunes is on but can't see it on my apple tv any one knows why...?

    It will allow your homesharing, airplay, airprint, propreitary apple networking support, and other features.  You should absolutely try to enable it.  Some routers, even when the ports are opened, just don't work perfectly with Bonjour broadcasts.  But you might be able to get it to work.   Look to see if anybody else with your router has already figured this out in the eircom forums.

  • My Ipad2 crushes everytime I try to enter to the email settings, Someone knows why and can help me?

    My Ipad2 crushes everytime I try to enter to the email settings, Someone knows why and can help me? I need to change the email password!
    I restored the ipad, but still not working.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Store (or iTunes and App Stores) and sign out and sign back in.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • App store is not acceptin any payment card why and what shoud i do

    appstore is not accepting any payment card why and what shoud i do

    What country are you in? What country is the store you are attempting to register for? In what country was your credit card issued?
    You can not use a foreign credit card. It must be issued in the country of the iTunes store you are attempting to use with a valid billing address in that country.

  • My iMac updates at startup with the logo then once it's done it shuts down. So I restart it and it just restarts the update and shuts down again. Any one know why?

    So I don't know why my iMac is doing this. It's a late 2009 model I believe. I was literally working perfectly fine a few minutes before this. I decided to reboot my Mac and this update started and I can't seem to get out of it. And I've rebooted several times and this update never seems to finish. 
    The most recent update as I usually update when the new ones come out..
    None the less does anyone know why this is happening?

    Okay. So the third or forth time resetting all those things didn't work. So I started up in safe mode. And currently it's spinning with a circle with the cross logo.
    I have it running off an external hard drive. I think it's due to to that nhence the logo.
    So I'll just let it sit he unless there's a way you know to make it pick up right away.

  • Every time I try to upload a video to youtube (or pictures to blog services like tumblr) using Firefox, I cannot upload them unless I use the "basic uploader" function. Why and what can be done?

    Every time I try to upload a video to youtube or a pictures to a blog service, such as tumblr, I am unable to do so with the default uploading options (usually something that allows multiple uploads, etc). Instead, I can upload these media using their "basic upload" functions. Why and what can be done?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
