Can I make  the Help Center application work like other apps

Hi, I've searched all over the place to find the commands I need to enter into Terminal to make the Help Center application work like an ordinary application, ie so that a help center window can remain open whilst using the appliction it refers to, I did it a long time ago on my Imac using Snow Leopard, but I just can't remember what I did or where I found the Terminal commands to do it (Old age is creeping up on me ). I would like to do the same for my mid 2012 MacBook Air running Mountain Lion any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Peter

OK I finally found it :- open Terminal and type the following:-
defaults write com.apple.helpviewer DevMode -bool true

  • How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny?

    How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny in Firefox? I tried some suggestions that dealt with entering "about:config" in a fresh browser, but to no avail. I also downloaded an add-on called "Theme Font & Size Changer", but that didn't work either. So, I am reaching out here as that was a suggestion that another user here offered.

    Ah, yes- that is an ultra high DPI (dots per inch) display. This is a known issue in Flash Player, which Adobe is working on fixing.
    In the mean time, you can get some videos to have normal-sized controls by switching Youtube to the HTML5 video player:
    In Firefox, go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and click the "Request the HTML5 player" button.

    I have a iPhone 4 and I use a hotmail email account. Recently it's not been notifying me of me of emails. I've checked notification settings all set to get them but when you look at overview of notifications the email ones not shown like other apps do? Can anyone help its driving me mad?

    I had the same issue.  I just went to the Apple Store today to talk to someone about it.  They had me delete the account and then add it back in.  It's been working fine ever since!

  • How can I make the fittext.js plugin work?

    Hello!
    I'm a newbie on Edge, so please bear with me.
    I've been trying to make the fittext.js plugin (http://fittextjs.com/) work on my project but is not doing anything in preview.
    This is what I have on my Stage on creation complete:
      yepnope( { load: "edge_includes/jquery.fittext.js" } );
    $("h1").fitText();
    I have my text elements as h1. I tried doing it with ids ( $("#title").fitText(); ) instead and I still get no result.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks!

    Solved by adding Sarah's scale-to-fit code. Can somebody check the page here and give me some feedback? Thanks! http://wrongtarget.com/patria/
    My creationComplete looks like this now:
      yepnope(
              nope:[
              'edge_includes/jquery.fittext.js',
              complete: init
    sym.$("#Stage").css({ // Set the transform origin so we always scale to the top left corner of the stage
    "transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-ms-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-webkit-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-moz-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-o-transform-origin":"0 0"
    function scaleStage() {
        var stage = sym.$('Stage'); // Set a reusable variable to reference the stage
        var parent = sym.$('Stage').parent(); // Set a reusable variable to reference the parent container of the stage
        var parentWidth = stage.parent().width(); // Get the parent of the stage width
        var parentHeight = $(window).height(); // Get the browser window height
        var stageWidth = stage.width(); // Get the stage width
        var stageHeight = stage.height(); // Get the stage height
        var desiredWidth = Math.round(parentWidth * 1); // Set the new width of the stage as it scales
        var desiredHeight = Math.round(parentHeight * 1); // Set the new height of the stage as it scales
        var rescaleWidth = (desiredWidth / stageWidth); // Set a variable to calculate the new width of the stage as it scales
        var rescaleHeight = (desiredHeight / stageHeight); // Set a variable to calculate the new height of the stage as it scales
        var rescale = rescaleWidth;
        if (stageHeight * rescale > desiredHeight) // Do not scale larger than the height of the browser window
                        rescale = rescaleHeight;
    // Rescale the stage!
               stage.css('transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css(  '-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               stage.css('-ms-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css('-webkit-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               stage.css('-moz-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css('-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               parent.height(stageHeight * rescale); // Reset the height of the parent container so the objects below it will reflow as the height adjusts
    // Make it happen when the browser resizes
    $(window).on('resize', function(){
               scaleStage();
    // Make it happen when the page first loads
    $(document).ready(function(){
        scaleStage();
    function init() {
      fitText();

  • How do can i increase the font size of iTunes or other apps in general?

    Hi
    I got a macbook pro 17 hires, my mistake, i can barely read anything, i tried making the text as large as i could in the prefs, my itunes text is too tiny, i also changed that in the iTunes prefs but the so called large looks like size 8, i need 14 in my case!
    I heard there is a terminal command to increase the size of iTunes beyond the size provided in iTunes preferences, anyone know?
    Please advise.

    i was just remnded that i did do some terminal command before to adjust the text and this is why my itunes has tiny text even when it is selected at LARGE in its prefs.
    you would nt¡ot know how to reset it would you?

  • Can anyone get the help system to work?

    I am trialling PSE 8 using a Windows 7 64bit machine.
    Whenever I select help - either from the main menu or anywhere else in the product it just crashes.
    As far as I can see this software does not work and I wondered if anyone had an luck with it. The Adobe support system doesnt seem to want to take questions from trial customers as PSE8 is not listed when trying to contact support - I guess that means they know it doesnt work and dont want to have lots of questions.
    Very frustrated with this product at the moment

    My suggestion will be to revert back changes done for doc id 1418876.1. We have also experienced the same issue with this change.
    Perform the steps as per below doc based on if you have issue with Global Scheduled Services or Project Publications
    P6 Global Scheduled Services Are Stuck In A "Running" State [ID 1400104.1]
    P6 Project Data Is Not Being Published Via The Publication Services [ID 1333858.1]
    The steps in above document has addressed our issue in achieving near real time publication of the project. Rest depend on the values you specify in Application settings. Running publication services too frequently does have impact on server load.

  • OS X Mavericks made dock background color too light to easily see app indicator lights. Can I make the dock background darker?

    Can I make the dock background color darker to see app. indicator lights easier. Installing OS X Mavericks made it too light.

    Hacking around, I found a fix to my own zombified terminal problem.
    Control-click (right-click) on the tab to the terminal and one of the options is 'MOVE TAB TO NEW WINDOW'
    On moving the terminal tab to the new window, the old terminal window is responsive again (Allowing scrolling to old error messages, etc.)
    You have to do this for each tab in the zombified window one-at-a-time
    but you can drag all new windows back together as tabs to a single window if you feel like it.
    Before trying this, I tried a lot of the other click options and the other options were as unresponsive as the whole terminal window with the problem.

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).
