I am looking at a web page with highlighted words that are links that open new windows. I don't even click on them and they upen as I pass over them accidentily with the cursor. extremely annoying!what is it called and how can I remove this 'feature'

it is usually one highlighted word that when touched, opens up a small window of related companies or info or websites that I might be interested in. one word "presenter" was highlighted, touched it with my cursor, and I think caught a damaging virus.

    How can I remove this "feature" ?
    I always use caps lock key and it's so annoying (I write very fast) ! I'm fed up ! I received a MBA 13" yesterday, but I think I'm going to come back to Windows because of that !
    So is there a solution to remove this annoying feature ?
    Thank you very much

    Yes, this is really a deal breaker for me as you say ... I'm forced to write three times slower than I did on Windows 8, that's horrible (I used to type about 110 words/min).
    I'm going to return my Mac and I think I'm going to buy an Asus laptop instead ...
    What a shame that Apple does not do anything for this to be configured, I have read other forums and I see that I'm not the only one complaining about that ...
    How to lose customers so stupidly ...
    But thank you for your reply.

  • Trying to fill out the fafsa report for student entering college and they say I must use an earlier version of firefox, either 3.5 or 3.6, for vista, how can I download this?

    Just need to download an earlier version of firefox, either 3.5 or 3.6 for vista operating system. How do I do this?

    The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer than version 3.6.x. That is their choice.
    You can install Firefox Portable version to use only on that site and use your installed Firefox 5 for everything else. Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your Firefox 5.0.1 settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin drive.

    Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
    Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
    Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
    More later.

    I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

    I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
    They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
    I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary?  How do I do this if so?
    I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Every time I send a photo it sends with "For Review Only" on the photo. How can I remove this so my recipient gets a good quality photo?

    Every time I send a photo it sends with "For Review Only" on the photo. How can I remove this so my recipient gets a good quality photo?

    If you used the Apple Professional Training Series 'Aperture 3' book, then this was in lesson #1 which had you set the 'Image Export' preset for the 'Email Medium - JPEG' to 25% of Original Size and to add a watermark (which happens to be the PSD file that overlays the image with 'For Review Only').
    You can fix this by going to 'Aperture menu > Presets > Image Export...' and selecting the 'Email Medium - JPEG' preset and then deselecting the 'Show Watermark' option.
    Note - you can also reset the 'Percentage of Original' field to %100 to get back to the defaults.
    If you did not use the APTS - Aperture 3 book mentioned above, then I am not sure where you got the watermark.

  • When I access a windows files server with the mac I am adding .apple (hidden files). How can I prevent this.

    When I access a windows files server with the mac I am adding .apple (hidden files). How can I prevent this?

    Look for a program called BlueHarvest. I'm not sure if it still works with Mountain Lion.
    I believe your file server can be set up to handle the metadata files, but I suppose that would depend on the Server software and your IT staff.

  • Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8,  for the simple reason it was
    created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
    OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
    current version for compatibility.

    how do i remove this feature? where using google maps the input box has this in it( Enter your address line 2 here)/In hotmail new email on the enter page it reads (Enter your email here) .
    You have the remove these statements before entering an address , and before sending an email or with the email it will stay on the email , google maps will not work.

    Try this -
    <img src="assets/jpgs/Prodigy Logo Large 2014.jpg" width="180" height="180" alt="" style="display:block;">
    What you are seeing as whitespace is the space reserved for glyph descenders on any element that is rendered within a text box (i.e., an inline element). By making the image "display:block" you eliminate that space because a block element doesn't have descenders. If that works to your satisfaction then you can give the logo an id, and create a CSS selector containing that block style.

  • I applied some edits to my photo using iOS 7's default photo editor. It looks great when I preview the image on iPhone, but I cannot export the edited photos onto my PC. Anyone know how can I do this?

    yeah, in itunes if you select your phone, you should get tabs across the top for what to sync, under photos uncheck the box
    EDIT: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 is the link to a apple support document with information on syncing photos using itunes.

  • I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

    I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

    Skipping songs
    The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
    If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
    Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
    Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

    This post has already been answered. Why are you plugging your own site with an answer that has already been given? Not to mention that the information you are handing out is incorrect. There is no bug, there is no patch, and no one needs to delete any email addresses. If you take the time to read the posts with the correct answers, you will see that the solution is totally different than the erroneous one you have posted.
