How can I retrieve the scroll bar in Home applications using OS 10.6.8?  I don't have a general section after clicking on System Preferences.  Thanks.

I have deleted the scroll bar twice in 4 years and I still don't know how to set it back.  Please help.

hi Samberl
thanks a lot for the fast reply.
I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop  onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
Your suggestion sounds very promising -  I didn't know about 'cloning'.
Yes the idea is to backup the laptop -    I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically   across to the new drive myself each day or two...
Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb  ?   =   under the HD icon on desktop is written  : 
" 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free  " 
I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
When CCC site says it backs up  the hard drive - would this  mean all my files  [over 100 gb] that are mostly  in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon,  would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ]  ?
thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it. 
It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!

  • How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

    How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

    Hi. To remove the horizontal scrollbar you can do this:
    textArea.setWrapText(true);
    To remove the vertical scrollbar you can do this:
    ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)ta.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
    scrollBarv.setDisable(true);  and set the opacity to 0 in the css file:
    //css file
    .text-area .scroll-bar:vertical:disabled {
        -fx-opacity: 0;
    }Here is an example:
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
    import javafx.event.EventHandler;
    import javafx.scene.Node;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.Button;
    import javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu;
    import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
    import javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar;
    import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
    import javafx.scene.input.ContextMenuEvent;
    import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    public class TextAreaSample extends Application {
        @Override
        public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        final TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
            textArea.setWrapText(true);
            StackPane root = new StackPane();
            root.getChildren().add(textArea);
            Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
            primaryStage.setScene(scene);
            primaryStage.show();
            scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("style.css").toExternalForm());
            ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)textArea.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
            scrollBarv.setDisable(true);
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            launch(args);

  • How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?

    How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?
    I have seen this question asked previously and it seems there is no answer.
    I know that one can change each individual web page (that reset defaults back to 100%) and, alternatively and apparently one can load an add-on to fix the default size at Full Zoom.
    ... But any hints on how to achieve a DEFAULT 125% zoom would be much appreciated.

    Press CTRL + 0
    Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
    You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
    You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
    [[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
    [[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

  • How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again

    How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again. Also they might remove them from internet so I can't rely on the bookmark to them.

    I'm trying to send home movies to my 10 year old nephew who lives across the country. He doesn't have a computer. He has an iPod touch. His parents have computers. But I don't want everything I ever try to have him do result in "you need your parent's computer for this." It's getting really embarrassing. I have converted my family over to Apple computers but now they want to buy iPhones, iPads, and iPods even though I tell them to go Android. It took a decade to convert them away from windows now I'm trying to keep them away from these freedom limited iOS devices and they won't listen. Then it becomes my responsibility to make their iPads print to their fancy pre-airprint color laser jet printers, get home movies onto them, and countless other things. It's driving me nuts.
    I have converted these files to a format that the iOS devices will play directly off of dropbox. Now, how do I get the infernal devices to save it instead of play it?

  • How can we remove the scroll bars from the table?

    Hi,
    I have a dynamic table. Currently the table appears with the scroll bars. But there is a requirement that the scroll bar should not appear and the table should stretch in the entire page. How can this be achieved.
    Thanks in advance
    Nita

    Thanks Mohammad for the reply.
    Was able to remove the scroll bars by using only the styleClass as AFStretchWidth. But there is a default partition in middle of the page still? Can i remove that too by any way.

  • How can I get the scroll bars to be more visible/contrasting?

    The scroll bars are difficult for me to differentiate from their background. Can I change their colour or darkness to make them more visible?

    Firefox uses the native scroll bars by default.<br />
    You can try to select another window theme in your Linux distribution that has better scroll bar appearance or see if installing a Firefox theme helps.

  • How can I get the scroll bar to go to the top or bottom of the page with a right click command?

    When I right click on the scroll bar nothing happens. I have to spin the mouse wheel repeatedly to get to the top or bottom of the page. I just switched from explorer. I'm used to being able to do this. It's much less time consuming and frustrating. I hope someone can help. Thanks.

    You can hold down the Shift key and left-click the scroll bar to go to that position.
    If you set the Boolean pref <b>middlemouse.scrollbarPosition</b> to "<i>true</i>" (default on Linux) on the <b>about:config</b> page then you can middle-click the scroll bar to go to that position.

  • On a Parallax Scrolling Page, How can I start the scroll bar at the bottom on page load?

    Hello,
    I'm working on a parallax scrolling animated page in Edge Animate, and it's a timeline of life on Earth. But we wanted to start from the bottom, or "Origin of Life" and then scroll up while our 'tree of life' animates in as the user scrolls up. We definitely know it's not good web etiquette to start at the bottom, but our client is determined. I am more of an animator than a web designer, but I was wondering how one might do this using a bit of code? We are using EC.Parallax.setup(sym); from Edgecommons for the parallax function, which is basically just tying the timeline animations to the scrollbar. I've already got the animations setup to go the right way  but we don't want visitors to have to scroll to the bottom first, as they'll then see everything animated in reverse! In my google searches I found something called an Iframe that you can use, and then a flurry of responses on how horrible Iframe is. Thanks for your help, we really appreciate it!

    Hi, Vizkid-
    You can find the height of the document and then use window.scroll in your initialization function to default your scrollbar to the bottom of the page.

  • How can I transfer the music from an old ipod to an iphone 5c if I don't have the files in itunes anymore?

    I have and old ipod and a new iphone 5C. I want to transfer the music from the ipod to the iphone. I could not do it in itunes. Need help. Thanks

    ChrisJ4203 wrote:
    Exact same way as razmee209 stated earlier. The sync process for the iPhones and iPods is one way from iTunes to the device, not the other way. The 3rd party software is the only solution if the music was not purchased via iTunes.
    Simplest way is to transfer all your user data (inlcluding iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

  • How can i get the footer bar to stay, whilst page scrolls?

    how can i get the footer bar to stay, whilst page scrolls?
    at the moment, on my site, if the page is longer than the screen, it goes behind the footer,
    but the foot bar moves up the page as yo scroll down to see the rest of the content.
    any way of getting the footer to stay put, while body/page contant scrolls ?
    thanks

    You can use some css to do it...
    #footer_id {
         position:fixed;
         bottom:0px;
    <div id="footer_id">Your footer content</div>
    The css above will lock your footer to the bottome of the browser window. As long as your footer <div> is last in your html, it will float over the top of everything on your page when the page is scrolled. If it's not last in the html, you'll need to add a z-index to get it on top of your other content in the stack.

  • How can i retrieve the lost bookmarks on my ipad ?

    How can i retrieve the lost bookmarks from my ipad ?

    See if this gets them back.
    Quit Safari completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus  sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
