Cannot resize address or search bars. This is the main reason I do not use Firefox. On Mac OS 10.6.8. The search bar is so small I can't type and see what I'm typing.

I've tried all the answers given in the forums and nothing works. The hand never changes to the double ended arrow.

What worked was upgrading to the current version of FireFox. I wasn't aware that I was out of date because I don't use it as my default browser. Primarily because the search bar was too small!
It's all fixed now.

In a FORM search box that i have data saved, how can I go and see what is saved and edit it? Sometimes when I'm doing maintenance it all gets deleted and I would like to be able to see what I have saved before it gets deleted.

HT5661 What have you done to email this is the worst thing you have changed . If I touch to see what I have sent the message on my screen goes directly to the sent. This is not what I wanted it it do. As always some one has screwed up a good thing

Some one thought they had a better idea. That some one should leave well enough alone . I am talking about the new down load os7 today. They f up the mail. Don't fix what isn't broken .

Do you see a n "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop in case Firefox got reset?
Do you have more than one profile folders present if you check that?
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Go one level up to the Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ folder in case a new profile got created.

I bought my macbook pro for only a day, and see what happens....

The computer is running pretty laggy a little bit and also I cannot shut it down... When i press shutdown, the only disappeared was the bar on the top. the task bar on the bottom still there.... And when i tries to shut it down by pressing the physical button.. It still wouldn't work....
It takes longer to start the mac every time...It's really annoying
Anyone know whats going on with my mac?... Is it possible to let apple set up a appointment and see what happens and if i wasn't satisfied with the result can apple change another one for me?(I bought the mac at my local eletronic store. Not Apple store) Thanks!

This is a user to user forum. This is not Apple. You are covered by warranty. Stop down to your local Apple store or make an appointment online. You need to make the appointment not Apple. You also have free 90 day phone support so you can call Apple at 800-275-2273 and talk to tech support.

My search bar in google now turns blue and I can not see what I am typing. Why? I read somewhere it's a problem with Firefox. Is there a fix for this?

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but one day my Google search bar turned blue when I tried typing in it. I couldn't see what I was typing. I did some research and some forums said it was a problem with Firefox. Have you heard of this? Is there a solution for it?
Thank you for your help.

For me, the google search bar turns blue once I've typed in a search term, but then want to click on it again to change or add something. The entire bar turns blue. I can still type, but it's hidden. Then when I click Search, it does bring up my search results and now the terms I've written are showing in the search bar, with no blue.
The only way to get out of it when the blue is there, is to reload the page.

Firefox highlights search boxes in light blue and I cannot see what I'm typing. How do I fix this?

Recently firefox started highlighting the background color in search boxes/fields (ie. google) in a light blue color and I cannot see what I'm typing in the field. Please help.
Thanks.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When I type the keyboard is in the way and I can't see what I am typing. How do I fix this on my iPad?

When I type the keyboard is in the way and I cannot see what I am typing. How do I fix this?

I just updated to ios8 on my iPad and the keyboard blocking the text is driving me nuts! You used to be able to scroll the page up which would allow one to see what you were typing. Ugh! Help. splitting the screen is not an option. It used to work fine

Has anyone tried emailing after the Yosemite upgrade? The size of the email pane is enormous and cannot be resized so I cannot see what I am typing as it disappears off screen to the right. This must surely be a fault?

The email window pane is huge and disappears off screen and I have not found any way to resize it. This means I cannot see what I am typing as the text disappears to the right off the screen. Only way to see what you are typing is to drag the pane to the left and then back again when the cursor moves to a new line. This surely must be a fault with the new Yosemite OS X?

Thanks, Bee! I never knew that one--it does resize the screen. But, what I want to do is resize it from the corner, or from the side, or from the top. I'd like to move it to another place on the page, if I need to. The bigger problem is that I can no longer click and drag to highlight a word or phrase, etc. Both of these things happened in Office and in Safari after I downloaded Yosemite. I feel sure that it is just some little trick like the one you suggested or some box that I need to tick to get things working like I've always known them to be. Thanks for any help you can give...

When ever i type into a search bar or box of any kind now it turns blue, and with a few websites that makes it so i can not see what i'm typing, what is the problem?

Like i stated i'm having a problem with every time i type into a search bar or box of any kind including log ins and such the box turns blue, and in many cases makes it so i can not read what i am typing. Tried same website on IE and they worked fine so i assume it's firefox, is there anything i can do about it

TS3274 This week the keypad "jumped" to the top of the screean't see what I'm typing! How do I get it back down to where it used to be?

This week the keypad "jumped" to the top of the screen so that I often can't see what I'm typing! Not sure why it happened and want to know how to get the keypad back down to where it used to be! Can anyone help?
Cheers

If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.

Why is background black and text black so you cannot see what you are typing

Why is the background black and the text black. You cannot see what you are typing or read the text of posts?

Hi dlwhit,
I'm not sure what you mean by the background and text being black. The sidebars are black, but the text is supposed to show up on a white background. I haven't seen this, nor has anyone else reported this issue yet.
Can you give more information where you see black on black text so we can try to correct it?
Thanks,
SunshineF

When typing on my iPad the screen does not move up so I can see what I am typing.

Under normal operation, when using the virtual keypad, iOS shifts the screen so that it's possible to view what you are typing all the time. On my iPad if the text I am typing is below the keyboard, the screen is not automatically moved up. On some forms for example, where it is not possible to manually shift the screen, it is impossible to see what you are typing. I went to the Genius Bar and they wiped my iPad and reinstalled iOS 6 but I still have the problem. I'm guessing it is being caused by one of my apps but with 174 apps which all reinstall from the cloud it is impossible for me to know which one (and Apple is supposed to have tested all apps anyway). Any suggestions?

So reading related comments and your feedback here helped me identify and fix the issue. Basically by turning off the split keyboard option in settings the problem with not scrolling was corrected. I then tried turning the option back on and it now appears to work fine either docked or split. I'm guessing there is a bugs in iOS whereby the setting for the split keyboard causes it to not scroll the window under specific circumstances (if I had to guess I would say when you switch the split keyboard option on and then don't use the spilt keyboard). And for the record, this problem occurred for all Apple apps as well as 3rd party apps (eg Apple notes). my advice to the "Genius" guys is to do basic stuff like changing the settings first before they resort to wiping and restore.

Dynamically resizing TextArea ?!?!?! I cant see what I am typing

http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Creating_a_dynamically_resizing_TextAr ea_without_s-13628.html
used code in above link, additionally I added code for width similar to height,
the else part in below
override public function set width(value:Number):void
    if(condition)
    else
                  textField.validateNow();
                    if (textField.textWidth+7<= this.maxWidth)
                        super.width=textField.textWidth+7;
                    else
                        this.wordWrap =true;
                        super.width = super.maxWidth;
also I set wordWrap=false in adjustHeightHandler and constructor. when I continue typing it reaches maxWidth then maxHeight after that i cant see what I am typing.
live scrolling reaches maximum height, but I could see by press down arrow

Hope the following code will help u,
public function CustomTextArea()
            super();
            this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,onKeyDown);
                    private function onKeyDown(keyEvt:KeyboardEvent):void{
                              updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight);
        override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
            super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
            this.height = this.textField.textHeight+10;
            this.textField.scrollV = 0

Before trying to isolate an issue, it's always best that one is running the latest Skype release. Which may in itself resolve the issue.
A new version has just been released September 13th, 2011:
Please download/install this version from here, when prompted click the open or run button: http://download.skype.com/SkypeSetup.exe
This new version is 5.5.0.117 to check what version you have, using the main Skype client window please do:
Help -> About Skype
This is NOT a fix or solution.
Please right click on the Skype Icon in your system tray and change your status to "Offline" for 5 seconds and then back to "Online".
This forces a status update of all your contacts in your contact list as well as a update of your status without the need to logoff/logon.
Also, if possible, call them Skype to Skype and request they do the same, while you are both online.
