Click here and try resetting that account’s password.
That Apple ID is stored inside each of those applications. If you can’t get back into it, you’ll need to delete and redownload all of them, which may require repurchasing paid ones.

IE 10 blank new tab and missing favourites problem only when requiring a proxy for first page visit

We are having a very strange situation with one (only) of our 64bit 2008r2 remote desktop session host servers. The problem we are having is that when any new tab or window is opened it must first open a page that is in the
internet options -> connections ->LAN settings -> Advanced -> Exception. Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with
Area. OR ELSE....
The entire contents of the favourites menu below "Organize favourites" is missing, though the favourites explorer bar, and tool bar display the links, but they cannot be opened in the current tab and will not create a new tab when you click open
in new tab. HOWEVER, this problem is instantly resolved if you manually type into the address bar and visit a site that is in the proxy exception list. Then that tab starts to function normally, the favourites menu is populated and works, and so
does the favourites explorer bar, and toolbar, and other websites can be visited.
This is extremely problematic. Looking at the proxy server logs, when the problem is happening no attempt is made at contacting the proxy server.
Ways we've encountered this problem
If the user has the option set that a new tab opens the 'new tab page' then any new tab experiences the problem.
If the browser is set to open the user's home page(s) then any of the home pages that are not in the exception list may or may not open successfully. But again any of them that opened a page that was not in the proxy exception list will experience
the problem
when a user tries to click on a website link from an email or document that is not in the proxy exception list, as this opens a new window or tab and it is just blank.
when a website not in the exception list tries to open a new window/tab
This problem is happening for all users on that RD session host server, including domain admins, except for THE domain/enterprise administrator. Our other 2008r2 64bit RD session host servers and windows 7 machines with the same version of IE
installed on it does not have this problem.
We have tried deleting all IE data, resetting IE, re-registering the ieproxy.dll with the regserv32 command and the problem continues.
Our proxy settings for each user is coming from the group policy setting of 'computer config -> policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Make proxy settings per-machine = enabled'
and THE domain administrator choosing to enable the proxy server and disable automatic proxy detection.

Hi,
Since you have tried many methods like deleting all IE data, resetting IE, and it works well on other Windows 7 machines, the problem might be some clients didn’t respond to the group policy.
Try to update the group policy with this command at the clients ”gpupdate /force”.
And check whether the client is infected with virus, some virus might cause this issue too.

How do I get an Installation Disc for Lion after I already installed it.

I am furious, with myself and Apple.... I started this journey of upgrading to Lion soley because I needed to increase the capacity of the HD on my early 2008 MBP. I saw that it was much easier with Lion, I didn't see or understand the part about only on brand new computers...
I have already upgraded the HD once before and had NO PROBLEMS... Time Machine back up and all that.
I am only a Mac user for 3 years... I love it... But some preconceptions die hard...
LIKE ....WHY CAN'T I MAKE A DVD OF MY INSTALL DISC AFTER THE INITIAL INSTALLATION OF LION?????? ESPECIALLY SINCE I DIDN"T GET ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE???
Yea, I didn't read the fine print, I had to make one at the time of installation.... I didn't know that I wouldn't be given the chance again????
Darn Darn Darn.... I only upgraded as a step along the path of upgrading the Hard Drive.... NOW I CAN"T WITHOUT MAJOR HEADACHES.... Grrrrrr
LOL
So, Apple... if you are gonna distribute your OS this way... fine... but jeez, how about making it so we can get an installation disc after we missed the chance on initial installation???
What do I do?

Thank you... I will take your advice and relax...
OK will do.
As you can tell, I totally disagree with apple on this.... It should be a DEFAULT that the ability to make a DVD start up disc is always there... not the other way around.
I have spent hours on this upgrade... upgrading the Snow Leopard, upgrading to Lion, Installing new hardware, re-installing new hardware, re-installing the old hardware...
Some people, like myself, have the ability to DIY, but I don't have the incredible highly detailed inside knowledge that I apparently have to possess...
Thanx

How can I make an Install Disc for Lion 10.7.5, when it already installed

I purchased the Lion 10.7.5 download through the App store and it started downloading before I realized that I needed to make a copy of it, is there a way to make a backup copy of the operating system in case of a problem. I was not allowed to re-download it through the app store.

For Keynote: How do I start slide numbers on the third slide?

I want the page numbers to start on the third slide, not the first. Is this possible?

click delete. it doesn't affect the other slides' numbers.
This doesn't achieve the original request, "page numbers to start on the third slide"
what you suggest just deletes numbers 1 & 2.

The version 6.0.2 doesn't create tabs, and my journal doesn't save!

The version 6.0.2 doesn't create tabs, and my journal doesn't save!

I am not sure how it was done in 5.0.1 so I can't comment on that. I know that since 5.1.1, the runtime engine is nothing but .dlls.
There is another way. Have someone create a generic EXE file. Then run this generic EXE. (What I mean by generic is that you do not specify any VI when you create the application.) It will prompt you to select a file when you run the executable. You can then browse to your VI and have it run that way.
I am not sure if you'll need any license by doing it this way... What I'm suggesting here is a way for you to have an executable like what you've described. Maybe you could talk to a NI application engineer or your sales person to have them create you the generic EXE.
I am not sure about software distribution. Y
our sales person would be the one that you talk to about that. The NI Developer Suite or LabVIEW PDS is something to consider if you're planning on distributing your applications.
Thanks.

Pasting in Numbers cell with tabs and returns

I am converting my old Appleworks SS files to Numbers and it works fine when I just open the .cwk file with Numbers. But when I try to paste in to a cell text with tabs and returns, unlike AW, it puts as much of the text as will fit in one cell, truncating the remainder.
Is there some way to change Numbers preferences (or any other technique) to push text separated with tabs to the next cell right and for returns to push to the next row?

I just figured out what I did wrong. The text I was pasting in was enclosed in quote marks. Once I removed those, it pasted in perfectly, just like AW.

I have been trying to obtain original gray install/restore discs for a 1.42 eMac. Definitely no copies. Can anyone help. Tried every ebay supplier.

I have been trying to obtain original gray install/restore discs for a 1.42 eMac. Definitely no copies. Can anyone help. Tried every ebay supplier.

You could try Apple software sales at 1 800 MY APPLE and see if they still have original system discs for the eMac in question.
You would need to give them the model and serial No. of your eMac.
This is located behind the panel that opens the CD/DVD drive tray or on the drive's front panel when the drive door is open.
Be advised that if they have these discs , it will be a set that would have come, originally, with the eMac model.
The OS will not be up to date. I believe your model eMac came, originally, with OS X 10.4 or OS X 10.4.2 Tiger.
OS X10.4 Tiger is seven years old as of this year!
You could just spend the $129 dollars to buy OS X 10.5 Leopard retail discs.
Call the same number and ask of they have anymore OS X 10.5 discs still available.
There are no new iDevices that will sync and backup using 10.4 Tige any longer.
So, getting 10.5 maybe a better alternative for you.
Your eMac is fast enough to handle 10.5 Leopard with no, appreciable, issues.
Good Luck!

Sorry for late reply i was not at work
I have a default set excel is still throwing error. Interestingly winword , powerpoint and publisher are working fine. I am able to print from all office applications except Excel.
Probably excel behaves differently from other office applications.
Probably it is a bug in excel
Workaround : Log on to a system once using newly created account then runas excel using this account then print works fine.
It means something in user profile should be configure to run excel print operation. Could you please somebody help what I need to configure in user profile that makes print operation success?

My Firefox menus and tabs and text are all warped and slightly out of focus for lack of a better term. What kind of issue is this. I only have the default theme/persona Strata installed. It's quite annoying.

My tabs and text seem slightly corrupted. There's an apparent curviture to the corners and the tops bow. The text is affected but the font's don't appear to have been edited to different fonts. It looks like some photoshop corruption effect to be honest, but this just happens to firefox everytime I use it now. It comes up normal for a second then 'fades' into this corrupt looking version.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration. 
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
* Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

Where is the install package stored from the app store for Lion?

This is an all new way of deploying OS updates from Apple. From what I can see, this presents some issues:
1. Where is the install package that I bought from the app store, and how can I save that offline?
2. If there's a problem with my device in the future, I have no media of Lion to restart from- so what's the procedure to restore from a TM backup? Go back to 10.6, and then to the 10.7 update?
3. What if I want to boot from disc or a drive? I don't have a copy of the install to make a bootable image.
Thanks for the help

OK, once you install Lion the Installation Package gets deleted. However once you have installed Lion, do following:
- Open the AppStore Application
- With pressed Option (on German Keyboard ALT) Key klick on the "Purchased" Tab!
- You will now see that the prviously greyed out "Install" key for Lion becomes active
- Download the install package
- Do not start installation
- In order to create a bootable DVD or USB drive containing the installer follow instructions posted on
http://www.macworld.com/article/161069/2011/07/make_a_bootable_lion_installer.ht ml
This is how you can create installation media.
For maintenance options (means your Lion installation has some problems but your drive is still OK)
you can boot from the hidden recovery partitions that was created when you installed Lion.
To do so, press the Option (ALT) Key while booting. You will have now the option to boot from
Lion or recovery partition.
Hope this helps!

I'm at the install OS X tab and mavericks is unavailable. i put in the disc for lion, how do i start the install?
