Desktop, One line of icons frozen, and a window frozen on the side, top bar shadows of icons frozen.

So on my desktop, one line of icons is frozen, although the same icons are also on my desktop and actually working. Also the edge of a window is frozen. Lastly, on the right of the top bar, the little icons like battery, wifi, etc. are frozen as shadows underneath all the working icons... Basically everything is working right, just "copies" of the others are frozen...

Check in System Preferences>Universal Access and see if Zoom is on. If you have toddlers or cats this can accidentally turned on by hitting a group of keys that include Option + Command + 8.
To prevent this being accidentally activated in the future go to System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts>Universal Access and uncheck all the boxes.

  • When using mail, my resize button and my down arrow on the side schroll bar appear in the same position making use of both impossible.

    A line is missing at the bottom of the screen just above the dock window on my macintosh. Using Mac OS X, version 10.6.7

    I indicated that I have this problem too, or at least a related one, but I wanted to add some details. In my case, using gmail, the resize button actually isn't even visible. But when I try to put the mouse on the line-scroll arrow at bottom right, the cursor changes to the resize cursor, and I can resize from there (with the mouse a good bit above where the resize button should be). So I think it's the same problem reported by this user. As indicated, it's impossible to use the line-scroll button in this mode. I don't seem to have the problem on other web pages, or at least not that I've noticed. I just obtained Firefox 4, so I think I've got an up-to-date copy, and I'm running on Windows XP, SP2. And other than this, I *really* like FF4--that tab organization feature is absolutely stunning in its usefulness. Oh, and, in case it matters, I'm also running the gmail under the "pinned tab" option.

    Where have left abd right navigation arrows and URL window gone from the Safari header bar at the top of the page?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It looks like you hid the toolbar. Open Safari and go to View menu (on the menu bar) > Show Toolbar. If this doesn't work, choose Customize Toolbar and drag the options you need

  • How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

    How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles (would like to move whole bookmark folders at once if possible) into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles? This is all under one window user account, I am using windows 8.1. Even if you have information on how to do it on a different windows, it may still be helpful. Thanks for any input you have.

    Just a note about the difference between these two things:
    * "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
    * "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.
    Related support articles:
    * [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    * [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile. See: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites].

  • My mac will not copy more than one file at a time and gets locked up if the file is too large, my mac will not copy more than one file at a time and gets locked up if the file is too large

    So now that you have repeated the same thing three times that doesn't make things any clearer at all.
    You are copying files from where to where?
    How are you attempting to copy files, software or click and drag?
    Any other detail would be helpful.

    Do you have a printer that has a memory card slot on it?

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Hey there i downloaded apps using another apple id than the one am using right now and i need to update the apps they keep asking me for the old one that i dont have any more what to do please

    Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and re-set th password for the old one.
    Then, log into the app store with it and update the apps purchased with that ID.

  • My keynote is frozen and i didn't save the presentation, if i force quit will i lose my work?

    my keynote is frozen and i didn't save the presentation, if i force quit will i lose my work?

    Yes, any work that didn't save from the built-in saves of the program (if any were turned on).  You should regularly save documents you modify before working with them live.   Since this question is related to Keynote, I've asked this thread be moved to:
    Keynote for Mac
    Where more people might know if there are workarounds or temporary file locations that might save information that you can recover.
    It may vary by version, as Apple started making a new feature called Versions available that saves every change as it is made.
