I accidentally closed the Pages text formatting menu bar.

I accidentally closed the text formatting menu bar that comes up when select text to change font size, style, etc. I cannot find out how to restore it so that it automatically opens when I select text.

It isn't gone, just minimized. The top of the screen should have a thick dark brown bar with "Documents", "Undo", etc. Under that should be a thinner lighter brown bar. Touch that thinner bar and the formatting bar should reappear.

Hi to the Mac Folks,
I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5. The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.

How do I add "Save As" to the Pages drop down menu?

How do I add "Save As" to the Pages drop down menu?

It took me awhile but I found what I was looking for. This is posted at http://www.tuaw.com/2012/07/29/get-save-as-back-on-mountain-lions-file-menu-easi ly-and-without/
Option 1. Terminal.app If you are comfortable using Terminal.app, you can add a different keyboard shortcut this with one simple line. First, quit all your apps except Finder and Terminal. Then paste this command (as one line) into Terminal.app (and press Return):
1
defaults write -globalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add 'Save As...' '@$S'
view rawdwrite-global-saveas.sh hosted with ❤ by GitHub
That's it!
Launch TextEdit and open the 'File' menu and you should see "Save As..." back in its rightful spot with its original Command + Shift + S shortcut, as shown in the image above.
Aside: After you enter the 'defaults write' command, you will not see any confirmation that it was entered correctly. Terminal.app is a little terse sometimes. If you want to verify it from the command-line, enter this:
defaults read -globalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents
and look for "Save As..." = "@$s"; in the output.
Option 2. System Preferences.app If you would rather not use Terminal, it's still very easy to add the keyboard shortcut.
Launch the System Preferences.app, then open the "Keyboard" preference pane.
At the top you will see "Keyboard" and "Keyboard Shortcuts" – click "Keyboard Shortcuts" (labeled '1' below). Then in the list on the left side, click "Application Shortcuts" (labeled '2' below). Then click the "+" button (labeled '3' below):
Once you press that "+" button, a small window will appear asking you to enter the title of the menu item and the keyboard shortcut that you want to use.
Enter "Save As..." in the "Menu Title:" field, and then press the keyboard shortcut that you want to use. In the example below I pressed Command + Shift + S:
Note: It used to be true that you had to enter an actual ellipsis (which you can get by pressing Option+ ; on a US-English keyboard). However, when I tested this in Mac OS X 10.8.2, it worked with three consecutive periods.
Bonus Tip: Hide the "Duplicate" menu item.
In my original article I suggested that you also enter a keyboard shortcut for "Duplicate" and while youcan do that if you wish, you do not need to do that.
However, if you would like to hide the Duplicate menu item, you can do that. There are two steps: first, remap "Save As..." to Command + Shift + S (as shown above). Then the 'trick' is to remap "Duplicate" to Command + Shift + Option + S.
What you will have done is swap the keyboard shortcuts for "Duplicate" and "Save As..." which means that OS X will make "Duplicate" the optional command. If you open the "File" menu and hold down "Option" the "Save As..." command will change to "Duplicate"
(Thanks to TUAW reader 'rbascuas' for pointing this out in response to the original article!)
Important Addendum: "Keep changes in original document"
As we reported in August 2012, the "Save As..." command in early versions of 10.8 had an unexpected and likely unwanted side effect in Mountain Lion: it would save the changes in the new document (created by "Save As...") but would also save the changes to the original document.
However, Apple realized that users might not want that behavior, so in Mac OS X 10.8.2 they added an option "Keep changes in original document" which you can see here:
Option A: If you want to save the changes you've made in the document and then save the document with a different name, then make sure that the box is checked.
Option B: If you want your original document to stay as it was when you last saved it and create a new document based on the modified content of that document, then make sure that box is not checked.
If you do not see the 'Keep changes in original document' box, then the application is probablygoing to give you the "Option B" behavior, but if you are not sure, I would suggest choosing Cancel in the "Save" dialog, then copy and paste the contents of the document into a new file, and save the new file. I know that's several extra-and-less-convenient steps, but if you are worried about preserving the original document, better safe than sorry.
You could also save the file, duplicate it in Finder, and rename the new instance. Open old file and revert to previous save using 'Versions'.
Frankly,I wish that Apple had just left the "Save As..." command alone, but for some reason they didn't ask my opinion. That said, I'm glad that they brought it back in Mountain Lion. I would have paid $20 for that feature alone.
Note: This article was re-written and republished on 2013–02–21. The original process still works, but I wanted to update it to reflect some additional information.

[svn] 3148: You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView.

Revision: 3148
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-09-08 15:01:15 -0700 (Mon, 08 Sep 2008)
Log Message:
You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView. It no longer has any formatting properties. It supports the entire set of Gumbo text format styles.
SkinnableComponent and Group now also support all these styles. However, skins such as ButtonSkin, TextInputSkin, and TextAreaSkin continue for now to specify instance styles on their TextBox, TextGraphic, and TextView, in order to give them a Gumbo look rather than a Halo look. So if you try setting, for example, the fontSize on the Application, it doesn't yet affect the text format of a Button, TextInput, TextArea, etc. unless you remove the instance style in the skin.

Nevermind guys - I did it using the 'rb_on.selected' command on the "on" radio button if the .txt file variable was "on", else the "off" radio button is selected.
Thanks for taking a look though!

I accidentally closed the dialogue box when Firefox asked if it was okay for a program to modify my computer. Now I can't open the program.

I have a game (Neverwinter Nights) that periodically updates itself. Yesterday, I got a dialogue box asking if it was okay for the game to modify my computer (happens every now and then). I meant to click "yes", but instead accidentally closed the box (which I believe defaulted to "no"). Now, I can't open the game. How can I fix this?

hello stmanley1970, those dialog boxes are not originating from firefox, but from your operating system windows 7. therefore please contact the support channels of the publisher of this game in order to receive help for this issue...

How to show active page in Spry Menu Bar using images

Hi,
I have already read this answer "how to show active page in spry menu bar" but I am using images, not text. I have mouse-over and mouse-out working in the Spry Menu Bar using image.png and image-over.png, but I cant' figure out how to get the image-over.png to appear on the active page since the spry menu bar is locked on the individual pages. (I tried to put it in an editable comment, but spry wouldn't go for it. :-)
Any ideas. Here is the code:
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
       <li><a href="../index.html" id="home" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image8','','../images/all_pages/home-over.png',1 )"><img src="../images/all_pages/home.png" alt="Home Page" name="home" width="58" height="20" border="0" id="Image8" /></a></li>

Hi I have a mac mini with my TV as a display. MY display includes the taskbar but no menu bar, how do I see menu bar???

HI
I have a mac mini with my TV as a display. My display includes the taskbar but no menu bar, how do I see menu bar???

Make sure you are using a 1080p capable TV. Some TVs have pixel level video ratio adjustment. Sometimes that can force the menubar to be visible if it is the only display connected to the machine. Sometimes you have to go to your hard drive's Applications -> System Preferences -> Displays and drag the white bar on top of the display's representation to the other display. You can only have one primary display with menubar.
Lastly, for non-1080p capable displays, DisplayConfigX or SwitchResX offer pixel level adjustments through software.

Adding a country to the Change Address Format menu

I have someone who I wish to write to in Turkmenistan, so I'm using Address Book to create a label for him. However, Turkmenistan (like many other countries) is not listed on the menu of countries you can change the Address Format to on the Edit/Change Address Format submenu, when you click on the address type (home, work, etc).
Is there a way to add countries, or perhaps to specify Other/Not Listed and just use a single blank field to type in the address? When I try and enter a Turkmenistan address according to the USA label format, it looks misaligned and has a gap between the second to last and last lines of the address.
I've searched the forums and all the documentation already, but I can find nothing on this. Please help if you can!

This is what I was doing initially, but for some strange reason, when I paste the Cyrillic in from another document (as I cannot type it myself), the second line of the address gets shifted all the way to the left, outside of the actual editing field. I can't edit it or make it align properly at all, and it looks that way even on the saved Card. I think on the label, it looks fine, but I can't delete the City, State fields, so there's a gap between the major bulk of the address and the country.
It would be nice if there were a way to say what fields you want on a card- for example, drag and drop Street, or Address Line 1, Address Line 2, and delete fields you don't want- like State/Province. (This would negate the need of needing to pick a country's particular format, because you could rearrange it as you pleased, or as was proper for wherever you were writing). I'm just wondering if there's some way to do something to help me-- maybe change something in one of the plist files, or AppleScript? (Though I'd rather an easier solution, if I can get it done, that would be great.)

I was hours into entering information into an online job application and accidentally closed the tab; is the information I entered saved or backed up somewhere

I was hours into filling in a detailed job application on-line, a fill-in-the-blanks web-based form, when I thought by closing a tab I would simply be going back a page. Instead, it closed the entire form. The form didn't have a separate save function. When I reopened the tab all information I entered had disappeared. Can Session Restore or some other function access the version of the application containing the information?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I closed a tab thinking I would be moving back to another section of the document.

Did you already read through your History and even temp files? You should be able to reopen the page/tab.
(I feel your pain...hope you get your form back)

Is it possible to change the height of Spry Menu Bar items?

I'm new to websites and have been trying to understand the CSS of the Spry menu bar. I've managed to put a horizontal menu bar in place and with the help of some previous discussions in this forum, have changed the colours of the menu items and have even managed to centre the text - Thanks!
However, I really would like to have a smaller menu bar - height wise.
I've tried reducing the default height of the menu bar items by adding a height and by reducing the font size and padding. The results have been varied. In Firefox and in Dreamweaver's 'live view' there is still a thin line showing underneath my horizontal menu which is the background colour of the div my menu sits in. In IE there is a similar 'chunk missing' from the bottom of the items.
Is this something that can be done? I've seen lots of help on how to change the width of the items, but have not found any which suggest that the height can be changed.
Gill

Sure. You just need to be thorough. Keep in mind that in a Spry Menu Bar you are making the link-text in the list-items block elements, so you will want to change the line-height of the a element. Pick style selectors in the css stylesheet that end in a, with or without an additional class (a.classhere), and play with the line-height.
Another attribute you can consider is the difference in height between Cap and lower case and All caps. You can usually get away with a smaller line-height and a smaller font-size with all caps, because there are no descenders on the text to require more line-height. Keep in mind also that when you state a line-height, your text will center vertically in the line-height, as far as I know, so you might even get away without top and bottom padding.

I no longer have a tool bar, or Google tool bar or an address bar. The only thing I have up thee is my favorites menu bar. I have no way of going to a web site unless it is in my favorites menu bar.

The only thing at the top of the page is my favorites menu tool bar. I have no Google tool bar I have no address tool bar. There isn't a place to type in a web address. The only way I got here was opening Internet Explorer. No Tools or help menu. I even did a system restore to 5 days ago. Didn't help. Please help. I don't want to switch to IE.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I right clicked in the tool bar area and it gives me the choice of removing different tool bars or adding them. I removed one just to see which one it was. OOPS not a good idea. When I right click now the same menu doesn't come up.

Hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar & Navigation bar, so so they have a check-mark.

FF 8.0.1 forgets what tools bars were in what state when open after closing. It defaults to Menu bar off, bookmarks bar off, tabs on top...

Randomly FF 8.0.1 when you open it, forgets the last state it was in when you closed the program down. It seems to default to bookmarks toolbar off, menu bar off, and the Tabs on top is on when you start FF 8.0.1.... I have made no settings changes or altered any add on's to FF. Nothing happens to passwords or bookmarks just the bars in use...
