    Why are the graphics/page in facebook suddenly smaller font and images? Is not happening in IE and screen resolution is correct.

    I heard back from Nike+ support and they said that there will be newer pics soon and it also appears that this corrected itself for my runs, but not the user pic, I only get girly options, I wouldn't mind a picture of a guy on 'ROIDS!!! Just kidding, but something less feminine or cartoon like, I'm trying to be serious about this and the site should reflect that.

  • Why are the icons HUGE by default?

    Hey Everyone,
    I got Snow Leopard yesterday and did a clean install (reformatted the HD before installing). My only issues is that the icons are HUGE by default - just like in Windows Vista and 7 (at least there's a very easy way to change that). What is the default icon and spacing size for Leopard Desktop/Finder? I can't stand the humungous sizes and can't seem to find the right size with the little slider in all the Finder windows.
    Thanks in advance,
    -MRCUR

    Once upon a time icons were 32x32. They started moving on up in size, for the last several years they were 128x128, and in Leopard many of the system default icons were 512x512, although the Finder didn't actually take any advantage of this. I figured Apple was "in transition" and was moving to that larger size as the new default. Sure enough, in Snow Leopard that is the new normal.
    For your purposes you can set whatever you want as the default size, and in folders where you have things you want to display larger icons you can customize the settings for that folder only.

  • Why are the icons no longer on tabs?

    In previous versions of Firefox the icon from the website, e.g. eBay, Craigslist, Amazon, Gmail, and others, would show up on the left side of the tabs. Now it will show the icons for one or two of these websites but the rest will be like blank document icons - white rectangles with tiny turned down upper right corners.
    I miss my icons! I want them back!

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

  • Why are the birthdays on my calendar suddenly unremovable?

    Ever since I synced my calendar to Facebook, the birthdays have become unremovable, even if I deselect the birthday calendar. Why is this happening?

    I should also mention that I have also removed Facebook syncing to my calendar and contacts, yet the birthdays still appear and are unremovable.

  • Why do the icons on my desktop always move wen I log out?

    If i have for exmaple my documents on my desktop wen i log off and log back in it is a different position to where i had left it.
    Why does this happen?

    I used a retail disk to instll Tiger.
    I did disconnect all peripherals before the instillation except for the keyboard and monitor, Apple 23" HD flat panel.
    I rand Disk repair and repaired disk permissions from this disk.
    I tried disableing Magic Mouse.
    I looked at finder crash and crashing and found some info on deleting preferences in the library and tried deleting the ones mentioned.
    I thought running DiskWarrior v 3.03 was helping but I was mistaken. DW did stop the window labelled Computer and showing my HD and network from coming up whenever the other items blinked.
    Nothing helped.
    Any other suggestions would be welcome.

  • Why are the emails in my "trash" folder deleted automatically every Saturday?

    Why are the emails in my "trash" folder deleted automatically every Saturday?  The employee at the Apple Store told me to contact my email carrier, but they told me it was an Apple issue.
    iPhone5c  iOS 8.1.2

    I keep Outlook Express running on my desktop all the time.  The emails come into the inboxes of both my desktop and my iPhone.  Once the emails are received on the desktop and I read them on my phone, they automatically go into the trash folder.  If it really is trash, I manually delete them and they go over to the other trash folder.  Then I can empty all of them at once.  If it's really important, sometimes I manually move it to another folder.  But then Saturday comes along and the trash folder all of a sudden becomes empty.

  • Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

    Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

    Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
    What should work:
    Select the photos you want to share
    File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
