Cannot italicize text in Mountain Lion version of Pages

The italicize funcion is grayed out for all fonts. Why?

Italics will only be enabled, not greyed out, for those fonts that include it. Pages is among many newer applications that won't "fake" italics. Use Font Book or the fonts panel to find a font that has italics.

  • I was using Mavericks Version for iPhoto 9.5.1 now i want to use the same library into my Mountain Lion version of iPhoto 9.4.3. how it;s possible?

    i just re installed Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on my Mac. i was using Maverics 10.9.1 before now my question is my iPhoto library is unable to open on Mountain Lion version of iPhoto because i copy that library from Maverics version of iPhoto 9.5. now i am able to open iPhoto 9.5 library to iPhoto 9.4.1

    After you download the upgrader, you will need to go to your Applications folder and find the Utilities folder.
    In there will be the iPhoto Library Upgrader (version 1.1). Open the application and follow the instructions. Should get you going.

  • HT1338 i cannot run java with mountain lion

    i cannot run java with mountain lion

    @jnsmth
    I see Barney-15E made suggestions regarding Chrome preferences. There's also a setting on the Mac to deal with this. Regarding the drop-down menus not seeming to scroll through (such as a list of states)--where when you place or click your cursor over the drop-down menu and it only opens to some of the options in a list, I found that you have to change the scroll bar behavior in your computer's (and not the browser's) General Preferences within your System Preferences.
    Open System Preferences, and click on "General" inside the top row of "Personal Preferences" (as it is in my system with Mountain Lion, and I think prior operating systems before that).
    Once inside General Preferences, select the radio button option for your scroll bar which you'd like to use in the "Show scroll bar:" section ("Automatically based on mouse or trackpad," "When scrolling," or "Always." If you're using a mouse and not a trackpad, you'd probably want to select "Always" as it takes swiping over the drop-down list on the trackpad to enable (make visible) the scroll bar and/or scroll the list.
    Either with the installation of Mountain Lion, or the installation of my trackpad (I'm using a desktop iMac and not a Macbook / laptop) I found that the righthand scroll bars seem to automatically disappear. When I moused over or clicked on a drop-down menu (such as the list of states) I'd see only the first few options in the list. In order to access the rest of the states (get the list to scroll) you have to either have the scroll bar setting set to show "Always" or (if you have a trackpad) use the trackpad to swipe/scroll while hovering your cursor over the list's items to get it to scroll the list, and thus then show/reveal the lefthand scroll bar (which can then be accessed with your mouse if you prefer.
    This confused me at first when my scroll bars seemed to disappear, but was an easy fix.
    Hope that helps with that part of your issue.

  • Want to update the operating systems to Mountain Lion version 10.8.2

    Want to update the operating systems to Mountain Lion version 10.8.2 on my Macbook6,1 from Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Will this affect the performance of my computer in a negative way, and if the benefits outweigh it? Thanks.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

  • TS3276 Cannot send emails in mountain lion from another wireless network, when are apple gong to fix this

    Cannot send emails in mountain lion from another wireless network, when are apple gong to fix this

    You might be able to set up the SMTP server settings in Mail to authenticate with a password. That may get the email through.
    In Mail Preferences, Accounts, select the account.
    Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) popup menu and select Edit SMTP Server List
    Select the Server and then click the Advanced tab at the bottom.
    Select Password authentication and add your details.
    You might also want to set a custom port (even if it is one of the defaults)
    This solution is normally for an email provider that will not let you send outside of your ISP network, which most prevent. They also must support password authentication of the SMTP server.

  • Why can't I get Mountain Lion version 10.8.3 on my MacBook?

    I have Mountain Lion version 10.7.5 on my MacBook but when I check for software updates it tells me my computer is up to date.
    I have MLV 10.8.3 on my iMac.

    You have to Upgrade to 10.8, not update. 10.7 and 10.8 are different operating systems. Each has its own set of updates.
    If you puchased Mountain Lion (10.8) for your iMac, then you can download and install Mountain Lion onto your MacBook (if it is compatible). If the iMac came with Mountain Lion preinstalled, you will need to purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store to get it on your MacBook.

  • Cannot use double tap and move with one finger to select text in Mountain Lion

    I've been using OS X in my Macbook Pro since Snow Leopard, and if I choose "tap with one finger to click", I can use double tap and move with one finger to select text if the cursor is between text.
    It works in Snow Leopard,and Lion However, in Mountain Lion, this doesn't work!! I have to click in the bottom right corner of my trackpad  in order to select the text.
    Can anyone get this fixed ?
    Thanks.

    Caolei,
    I don't know if you'll ever see this, but thank you! I hope this helps somebody else down the line, too.
    re. "I can use double tap and move with one finger to select text if the cursor is between text."
    I've been trying to figure out how to select text with tapping and without clicking.
    This did the trick.
    It's quite finicky to not select a space in between words.
    Zooming in does seem to help (two finger double tapping in a body of text may trigger a SmartZoom and zoom the current frame of text to fill the screen, if anybody doesn't know this.)
    ((There's a smartMagnifyWithEvent Cocoa NSEvent that's not universally supported across all applications for noob OS X developers like me.))
    I haven't been able to find the part about double tapping between text to begin a selection (which seems to work best when double tapping directly next to a letter) anywhere in the help system on or online. I probably just missed it, though.
    Clicking with the built-in trackpad on my MacBook Pro w/ Retina or Magic Mouse just takes too much pressure for an old-time touch typist like me.
    As an aside, I've been trying BetterTouchTool and MagicPrefs to enable one finger tap on the Magic Mouse. BetterTouchTool seems to trigger text selection unwantedly and randomly, though.
    The whole mystique of Mac / Apple being intuitive and user-friendly seems to be one of the greatest marketing coups / unbelievable con jobs of the last century.
    I'm actually somewhat qualified to express an opinion as a software engineer with a degree in Computer Science and programming and user interface design experience in Windows, UNIX, web, Android and other systems, and now OS X and iOS. I could go on and on and on but I won't other to say that I still find Macs buggy and hard to use. I'm now finding that my new iPhone 5 is just as big of a pain (i.e. big thumbs missing landscape keyboard in Contacts.) Of course, I like flexibility and options and custom workflows and more than one way to do things and simply being able to do things at all, so I'm also actually somewhat biased. Sorry for the rant...
    Cheers,
    Hal

  • Why can't I format text in Mountain Lion's Mail.app?

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, Mail.app stubbornly refuses to allow me to bold or italicize my fonts.  I can underline, but I can't do any other text formatting options.
    Very puzzling.  Can anyone shed any light on this problem, or if they've had it too?

    You can only bold or italicize if you're using rich text.  Make sure you're sending messages in rich (as opposed to plain) text.
    Here's an appropriate section from Mail's Help addressing this:
    Use plain or rich text in messages
    You can use plain text or rich text (HTML) formatting when you write messages. If you receive a message that’s hard to read, you can read it as plain text.
    HideIn messages you send
    Plain text messages can be read by all recipients, regardless of the mail viewer used. Rich text messages may be unreadable for some recipients because of the formatting used.Set the format for all messages: Choose Mail > Preferences, click Composing, and then choose the format you want to use most often in your messages.
    Change the format for your current message: Choose Format > Make Rich Text or Format > Make Plain Text before sending the message.
    Set the format for replies: Select the “Use the same message format as the original message” checkbox in the Responding section.

  • Some sites cannot be accessed after Mountain Lion

    Since I have downloaded Mountain Lion I cannot access the sites of my employer anymore (www.superiorenergy.com) Also I cannot access our portal for the intranet and not receive my email via Outlook and webmail. It seems that always when "superiorenergy." is part of the URL, I cannot login. Any solutions for this issue guys?? Its getting pretty annoying. Even out IT guys do not know how to fix it.
    Thanks for your comments in advance! Aprreciate some assistance!
    Regards,
    JAN

    Using the Mountain Lion I can go to this site- www.superiorenergy.com with no problem. As a start I suggest you review your network connections. It might be helpful to create a new test location and reset your network connections and see if that doesn't allow you to connect.

  • Cannot download os x mountain lion from app store

    I need to install the original mountain lion that i had on my system. I do not have the downloaded software. I did originally purchase the software, but I cannot redownload the software from the appstore. I keep on getting an error after the download starts and stops after a few minutes. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!! I need the software to install a fresh copy of the operating system on my iMac. I have attempted to download the software on 2 MacBookPros, and they both had the same error.

    Again, what error message do you get? Did your sister purchase Mountain Lion with her Apple ID as well? You should be able to simply go to the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store and see "Download" to the far right of "OS X Mountain Lion":
    Do you see this in the MAS? Do you see a Download button?

  • Safari Cannot Connect with Server (mountain lion) on wifi

    I Posted this under Mountain Lion as Safari had no connectivity issues for me when I got my mbp and it had lion installed and ran beautifully-
    NOW my apple (s) run fine on mountain lion
    for a little bit,
    and then I get "Safari Cannot Connect to Server"
    Now during this frequent occurance the  APP store hangs and hangs as well.
    This is most annoying-
    The only way to use my apple products after this happens is to restart them
    and then they work until they go into sleep mode,
    sometimes they screw up before that and then
    "Safari Cannot Connect to Server"
    my Airport utility shows that it is scanning for  networks-
    When I was right in the middle of buying something from amazon-- I had to go to my decrepit old windows xp connected up only for cox email to complete the transaction-
    This is not acceptable. Since it occurs on both of my apple computers and only started when I installed mountain lion.
    This has continually gotten worse to the point I must restart my laptop continually-
    Apple better get the lead out of their butts and fix this glaring fault- or should I install another web browser?
    which I am disinclined to do-
    I spent a fortune on these apple products and I expect them to work properly- I went to apple because I was so sick of microsoft and its endless headaches and updates and freezes lol--
    kind of funny if you think about it.

    Hi BSU1960, 
    I found the solution to my problem on a different forum.  Turns out for some reason the anti-virus software that I run was interferring with my browsers' connecting to the internet.  Once I disabled the web protion of the anti-virus my problem went away.
    I have a question to Kaspersky Security, hopefully will find out what was the root cause.

  • HT1277 cannot receive mail since mountain lion

    since my upgrade to mountain lion I had to reinstall my mail settings to be able to use mail again.
    however, now it is not working anymore. I did the installation together with the UPC helpdesk, so no mistakes,
    but I still do not receive any mail. I can send mail tho. UPC helpdesk says they cannot help me with this,
    it must be an apple problem.
    Please help me?!

    Thank you for your response.
    Unfortunately, the solution for my problem is not on this page.
    Mail is working fine on my ipad and iphone but not on my imac since the last upgrade.
    I can hear mail coming in, but I donot see it on my screen.
    Now I tried to do the installation again with the lion settings i.s.o. ml
    and .............. yes, it is working!
    I am a very happy woman again.
