Cannot make type black in Pages

As I type it is invisible as type comes up white - will only change  to aqua

So you purchased and DLed the App Store version of Pages?
Are you sure you have opened the right one?
They can both be on your Mac in the Applications folder, so just double clicking a Pages file may open the wrong one.

    Sorry Eric but that is the wrong specification and will produce a muddy brownish grey with possible registration problems particularly in small type as well as being wasteful on ink.

    Open the Color Picker > click on the color slider tab > click on the color mode patch > choose Black & White > Brightness: 0% (black patch) > drag down to recognisable swatch below
    To label it > click on the color sets tab (3rd tab) > click on the gear > New > Rename the set "DrD's > drag down the swatch from the bar above > Label that 100k > click on any stray swatches and rempve by clicking on the - button below
    These swatches are System wide and available to any application that accesses the Color Picker. Unfortunately Apple has not seen fit to make them easily transferrable or saveable and importable.
    Make the 100k swatch part of your Styles in the Styles Drawer, particularly the text to ensure it is used, you can't spot it on screen and there is no feedback anywhere that it is selected.

  • Cannot make Firefox the home page

    I have already asked this question once but now I can't find it on this website. After trying all your help suggestions I still can't make Firefox start up when I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop. It starts with the Ubuntu start page which also has a google search box.

    Thanks Gryllida, I can see now that it '''is''' the Firefox homepage that I'm stating with. In Ubuntu, when you are in full page you get no headings, like tool bars. When you change that to half screen you see the tool bars. I can now use the Firefox menus. Many thanks.

    Unplug it from power, wait 10-15 seconds and plug it back in.
    If it does not power up properly at that point, restore it via iTunes on the computer.

    despite the workaround, it doesn't fix the real problem. It shouldn't be a huge deal for adobe to add support for multiple svn versions. Dreamweaver is the first tool i've used that works with svn that doesn't support several types of svn meta data. If they're going to claim that Dreamweaver supports svn is should actually support svn, the current version, not a version several years old. This should have been among the first patches released, or at least after snow leopard came out (and packaged with it the current version of svn).
    does anyone know if the code that handles meta data formatting is something that is human readable, or where it might be, or is it in compiled code.
    i signed up for the forums, for the sole purpose of being able to vent about this very frustrating and disappointing situation.

  • I cannot type a web page on my iphone5 on the search or enter website name window of safari. as I type w the system brings me back to the phone main screen. This has happened since I updated to the new iOS 8

    You haven't mentioned any steps you might have tried to correct this so I'll suggest you try the first troubleshooting step. Reset your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the device restart. No data will be lost doing this. It's like rebooting a computer.

    Go to System Preferences - Accessibility - Voiceover - turn off Voiceover. The shortcut is command-F5, so possibly you pressed that accidentally.

  • Zoom in web page makes type pixilated

    When I use my Magic Mouse to scroll with the control key pressed, the type on a page gets larger. However, as it enlarges it becomes extremely pixilated, and is hard to read. It seems to me that before Snow Leopard, when I scrolled in this manner the type got larger and it was still pretty clear.
    Is there a setting that I need to change in order for the control-scroll/zoom to work properly?

    You must be remembering incorrectly. Zooming that way (assuming it's the same as the zoom gesture on a trackpad, which I think it is) simply blows up the screen, showing the same pixels at larger sizes, and it always has. If you want zoomed text to remain clear, you'll need to use whatever controls the application in question gives you for enlarging text.

  • I cannot make or receive calls suddenly.  Ihave tried to power off and on and when I type in the numbers to make a call, nothing happens.

    I cannot make or receive calls suddenly.  The message bar shows 'searching'  continuously without the WiFi symbol nor the LTE.  Ihave tried to power on and off without success.
    Any ideas?

    Could be a power outage in your area.
    YOu will need to contact your cell phone provider.

  • Cannot make Recovery DVDs for the G580 with Windows 8

    I notice that Windows 8 Notebooks are no longer being sold with Licenses affixed to the underside.  So if anything goes wrong (e.g. we have to replace the HDD at a later date)  we cannot just use a Windows 8 disk to restore the operating system.
    This means it is important to make sure we have recovery DVDs. 
    With previous versions One Key Recovery had an option to make restore DVDs - it misses that option with Windows 8.
    Phoned Lenovo support who said that we should make the DVDs through the Windows Backup system, which again is fine but on both Lenovo's I have tried it on Windows 8 cannot make a backup to DVD.  Also even if we could make the windows backup or system repair disks they would not allow a complete factory restore to a brand new HDD. 
    How do we make Recovery DVDs that would be bootable and would restore the Operating System to a brand new HDD if the worst should happen and the existing HDD suffered unrecoverable failure?  So far the only option that has come up from my various phonecalls is "buy a set of recovery discs for £25-£35 .... which would be a bit unfair having only had this 2 days.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    thanks for the feedback.
    Could you please check out the following link and see if it contains a possible solution, I am aware it states only Think products in the compatability list but there are "cross-over" points where something could be of relevance to other Lenovo products.

  • FTP Error - cannot make connection to host.

    Hello! Have been searching through the forums and have seen
    some topics that are similar to the problem I am facing but have
    not found one to solve it yet. I connect to mulitple FTP servers
    through Dreamweaver to upload and manage sites. As of late I will
    will try and connect to make updates and I keep on getting this
    error maessage....
    An FTP Error occurres - cannot make connection to host.
    It has happened on multiple servers from various providers. I
    am convinced that it is a Dreamweaver issue or a connection issue
    on my system. Any thoughts, help, or ideas to fix the problem would
    be greatly appreciated.
    I have tried most of the things out there on the boards but
    nothing has worked for me. The odd thing is that earlier today I
    was uploading through FTP on one of my sites and now that one won't
    work. Another site has been giving me hassle for days. Please any
    help would be much appreciated! I thank you for any time spent
    ahead of time answering this post! Blessings!

    Sorry it took so long to paste this in. It took this long for
    me to find it! k

  • Cannot convert type class java.lang.String to class oracle.jbo.domain.Clob

    Cannot convert type class java.lang.String to class oracle.jbo.domain.ClobDomain.
    Using ADF Business Components I have a JSFF page fragment with an ADF form based on a table with has a column of type CLOB. The data is retrieved from the database and displayed correctly but when any field is changed and submitted the above error occurs. I have just used the drag and drop technique to create the ADF form with a submit button, am I missing a step?
    I am using the production release of Jdeveloper11G

    Reproduced and filed bug# 7487124
    The workaround is to add a custom converter class to your ViewController project like this
    package oow2008.view;
    import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
    import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
    import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
    import javax.faces.convert.Converter;
    import javax.faces.convert.ConverterException;
    import oracle.jbo.domain.ClobDomain;
    import oracle.jbo.domain.DataCreationException;
    public class ClobConverter implements Converter {
         public Object getAsObject(FacesContext facesContext,
                                   UIComponent uIComponent,
                                   String string) {
           try {
             return string != null ? new ClobDomain(string) : null;
           } catch (DataCreationException dce) {
             dce.setAppendCodes(false);
             FacesMessage fm =
               new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,
                                "Invalid Clob Value",
                                dce.getMessage());
             throw new ConverterException(fm);
         public String getAsString(FacesContext facesContext,
                                   UIComponent uIComponent,
                                   Object object) {
           return object != null ?
                  object.toString() :
                  null;
    }then to register the converter in faces-config.xml like this
    <faces-config version="1.2" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">
      <application>
        <default-render-kit-id>oracle.adf.rich</default-render-kit-id>
      </application>
      <converter>
        <converter-id>clobConverter</converter-id>
        <converter-class>oow2008.view.ClobConverter</converter-class>
      </converter>
    </faces-config>then reference this converter in the field for the ClobDomain value like this
              <af:inputText value="#{bindings.Description.inputValue}"
                            label="#{bindings.Description.hints.label}"
                            required="#{bindings.Description.hints.mandatory}"

  • Dropdown dialog boxes will not work. I can click on the boxes, the dropdown appears, but I cannot make anything in the box operate. I just upgraded to 6.0.2 on a fresh install of Windows XP

    I use the net to pay bills. The dialog box on my bills have accounts in them, but I cannot make the account numbers work. I regularly go to websites that are several pages deep, but the dropdowns for the next page don't work. The numbers, as well as the accounts appear, but they cannot be highlighted to access them.

    I'm not sure if the crash is or isn't related to fonts.
    Deciphering the crash long is something I don't have any experience with.
    I'm not even sure how the crash log is structured. I've downloaded two screen captures: one from the top of the adobe Photoshop crash log and one from the bottom. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can discern what may be causing the crash?

  • Cannot reinstall Tiger : installer stuck (cannot make disk bootable)

    Good afternoon experts,
    I am writing to you here as I have a problem with the Tiger installer which suddendly stops when trying to install on a prepartioned disk.
    First, some background information : I have a 20' iMac Intel machine which I bought on February 06 (well designed machine, happy with it so far). The thing is, I have had serious crashes and lockups using the UB version of VLC (media player) which led me to hard reboot the machine several times. Despite the journaling on the disk, some of my filesystem was corrupted, seemingly beyond repair (some apps did not even boot, nothing happened when I plugged in an external disk, etc). Scanning for disk errors and permissions problems revealed that a lot of files had been damaged ("extended allocation" error) in both the system and in my applications.
    As I did not know what to do (I should have asked first here whether it was possible to reinstall only parts of the OS using, maybe, a package manager), I synced my backups and went for a reinstall.
    The thing is, the disk is already partitioned, as I also run Linux on the machine (updated firmware and repartitioned the disk w/ BootCamp; worked well). It contains, in that order : the hidden EFI partition (fat32), the macOSX HFS+ volume (where I want to install), Linux swap partition, HFS+ partition (for use w/ rEFIt, the EFI bootloader), and two Linux ext3 partitions.
    The install starts fine (booting from the DVD which came with my machine), the macOSX volume is formatted but the installer just then stops. Looking at the logs, I can see that it is because it cannot make the volume bootable (this is what the error message says). Note that it correctly read the partition table/EFI partition scheme as it gives me the correct partition types I have presented above. Also note that I cannot do an "archive and install" procedure, seemingly because I have insufficient space (6GB free on the volume); the installer does not give me any choice. Finally, I can still boot into Linux holding the 'Alt' key and using the builtin volume chooser to start on the second HFS+ volume.
    I am asking for help to you gurus, to know what to do here. I was think maybe something like using the shell to do a manual 'bless' would solve the issue; I would like however to be sure before proceeding. Otherwise, is there a manual installation procedure (as there is for instance on the Debian installer, allowing to skip/redo some install steps)?
    Thanks for your help experts,
    Vincent
    PS: I am going to see whether I can collect the logs and post them here.

    Hello back,
