I NEED a larger cursor & TOOLTIPS because I am visually impaired. In use, the text is always covered by the cursor and as such is unreadable and therefore u s

Most comfortable AND practical cursor size for me seems to be midway between MAX and MIN. I like a minimum of 12 point text (14 is better) but some text is provided as an image in small type (useless) and many times editors allow 10 or even 8 point text. I don't want or need high contrast, I will not use flashing text, It would be nice to receive consideration and have this nightmare solved.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

For Windows users I may suggest tools and advice from the following site, and It may also be possible to get advice relating to Mac over there.
* http://www.accessfirefox.org/
I know in Windows cursor size and features can be modified from the Windows control panel. It may be worth trying to ask on Mac sites to see it thy can help you.
Regarding modifying text of the browsers webpage content possibly the addon no squint would help you. Or for even higher customisation consider grease monkey scripts

* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey
I do not know if there may already be a suitable add-on for modifying the cursor to meet your requirements you could wade through this listing

I have an email thread that has become unprintable (and in some cases unreadable) because each email in the thread is indented and eventually the text is very far to the right margin and even beyond. How do I correct this?

I have an extremely long and important email thread that has become unprintable (and in some cases unreadable) because each preceding email in the thread is indented and eventually the text is very far to the right margin and even beyond. Some of the text is even showing up as only 1 letter per line. I tried selecting all and then left justifying it, thinking that that would shift everything to the left, but it didn't work. When I go to print the thread, it shows as 344 pages, which although long, I can't believe it's that long. What do you think happened to cause this and can it be corrected?

Ick. So it can't just work sensibly? Sensible would be either autosave overwrites previously autosaved versions or all autosaved versions would be deleted when the message is finally sent. Allowing previous message versions to accumulate endlessly might be beneficial to someone, but does not seem like sensible default behavior.

I need to know how to delete apps from my phone permanently because in order to update some of them i need a friends appleid pw because it was at one point synced with his apple id. these apps wont update unless i can delete them and DL under my apple ID.

Okay, so this is a little more information on my problem. When i first got my iphone i didnt have a computer of my own. So i synced it to my friends computer under his apple id. well then later down the road i got a mac of my own and was able to sync it to that. well some of my apps (facebook, snapchat, instagram, and google) backed up to his id. Now none of those applications will update if i dont have the password for his apple id. What i would like to accomplish is to delete them from my phone and such completely, or just unattach them from his icloud/apple id so that i can re download them under my own account. at this point everytime i try to delete them from my phone and go into the app store to download them again, it only gives me the option to redownload them from the cloud. i do not want to do this. because that means the app still wont be up to date and it will still be associated with said friends apple id. is there anyone who can guide me through this issue?

In this case if you download it from his account, you will need to deleted and download it again by your account
also delete your backup from iTunes after you delete all the apps/games that you download it from your friend account
so in the next time you try to restore your backup, you will not face the same problem

I was on safari and it froze. a screen came up that said "you need to call this number because your email account has been temporarily been suspended" i did not call the number but how to i get rid of it?

How do I get rid of a virus on safari?

It's not a virus. It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

The icons in the bookmark tool bar are blank and the text that use to be below the icon is gone. I now have to cursor over the blank icons to see the text and the one I want. Can the icon/text customization be returned?

In the Navigation Toolbar, the icons "Back", "Forward" etc. show the small icon and the descriptive text below the Icon. My Bookmark Toolbar use to have the same icon/text format but at some point, possibly a browser update, that changed. Currently, I do have a visible Bookmark Toolbar BUT the icons do not show the website icon, as previously, and the text below each icon is gone. I an cursor over each icon and the text becomes visible next to the icon. This is a bit of a pain to find a bookmark. Can I do a customization to return to the icon/text format.
Was this changed because browser users requested this option, or was it an internal decision.? If the later why make such changes when not requested?
Ed Sander

That wasn't a change in Firefox. It sounds like something is broken in your Firefox installation, or you are misunderstanding the different between the Bookmarks Toolbar and the other Toolbars.
In the Bookmarks Toolbar the text appears next to the website icon, not below the icon as with the other two Toolbars, and it's not switchable between text and no text as with the other Toolbars. With both the bookmark icon and the Bookmark name missing, something is broken in your installation. You need to do a little troubleshooting.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? 
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode] 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
If not, see this: 
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes]
If your problem isn't related to an extension, your bookmarks data base file (places.sqlite) is probably corrupt. 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite 
Be aware that if you delete the "places.sqlite" and similar files, your bookmark website icons won't automatically appear (the JSON backups don't have that icon data) when you restart Firefox and the places.sqlite is rebuilt using the backup data file, but the icons should be saved the first time each bookmark is used for the first time.

Grab the text under the cursor

Hey folks,
I have a jtextarea that has some text in it.
I need to know how i can get the text that is displayed when the cursor focuses on each line. any ideas
thx in advance

Not sure exactly what you mean.
If you focus on the textare you can get the caretPosition and then ask the document the text at the caret position.
You have also to methods you can use to translate between x,y coordinates and caret position: modelToView and viewToModel(don't recall the exact names but search in the api.

Hi
That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
Hope that helps
Paul
PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

HELP!!! I need to update to 2.0 but I dont want to lose my text messages...

I need to update my iPhone original 16 gb to the 2.0 software version but I cannot lose the text messages that are on the phone now. I have a few vital text messages that I cannot lose because I need them for court. The problem is, I need to do a screen print of them so I can email them to myself & then print them out. I need to update the iPhone in order to do the screen print, so i'm at a loss of what to do.
Does anyone know anything about if I will lose the text messages for sure or not? I have read a few posts about people who have lost their info, but it sounds like they are just a select few. If it's not a definite, i'll just go ahead, cross my fingers, & update the phone.
Please, any information about this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance....

2.0 is a couple of updates ago. We are on 2.1 now. You shouldn't lose anything. I never have.

Pasting in JTextPane adds the text in the next line not the cursor positon

Hi,
I have a problem with pasting the text in a JTextPane. The content type is text/html and the document is HTMLDocument. When I paste the text, it goes to the next line instead of inserting at the current cursor position. The problem is when pasting, the html writer adds a paragraph tag with the selected text. Can any one please help me with this issue for pasting a selected text in the position where I want, without loosing the character attributes and other html tags, but only the paragaraph tags?
Thanks

Hi Tariq,
If you are specifying some .prt files(printer definition files) in the desformat, please examine them if you have set the width and height to proper values.
Otherwise look at $ORACLE_HOME/reports/printers/dflt.prt (default file) and see if the width and height are set to proper values.
Thanks,

Now that I've installed Yosemite, my computer keeps telling me that iPhoto needs to be upgraded. When it starts "upgrading the database", it gets almost to the end of the progress bar, then sits and spins. It won't finish.

My computer is an iMac that was made in late 2009, and was purchased by me in 2010. It has a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I have more than 800 GB of storage available. Last week I installed the Yosemite OS. I'm having trouble with the upgrading of iPhoto. When it says it's upgrading the database, it never finishes. I've started the process a few times, and the progress line always gets to the same place when it sits and spins for hours at a time without any more progress. I thought about putting some of my 10,000 + pictures on discs to see if that would help, but I can't open iPhoto to get at them. Would that help, anyway? My son thinks this computer is too old to accept all updates. The hard drive was replaced 2 years ago.
Thanks for any help.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

Changing the Text Cursor for all Text Components

Hi,
The users have asked me to change the text cursor i.e, the vertical cursor for all the text components in our application.
Is there a common way to change it , without having to call the setCaret method for each of the text components ?
I saw that Cursor class has a Cursor type called TEXT_CURSOR. I'd like to be able to change that cursor.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks!

I was talking about the blinking vertical caret - sorry I got confused between the I-beam cursor and the caret(!).
I wanted to change the caret color at the very least.
Although preferably, I would like to make it a bit wider.
I just found one solution to change the caret color across all the textfields using UIManager -
    Color caretColor = Color.GREEN;
    UIManager.put( "TextField.caretForeground", caretColor);
    UIManager.put( "FormattedTextField.caretForeground", caretColor);
    UIManager.put( "TextArea.caretForeground", caretColor);
    UIManager.put( "PasswordField.caretForeground", caretColor);Thanks

Using CTRL-SHIFT-F for searches, can the cursor please be in the search window by default?

I regularly use CTRL-SHIFT-F to search particular folders (usually the Inbox) for a text string. When the search screen comes up, I sometimes start typing the text string, assuming that naturally the cursor's default position is in the search window. After all, that's the point, isn't it? But of course that's not true so I have to stop typing, use the mouse to move the cursor to where it belongs, and start typing again. This is only moderately annoying, but I have the feeling that it's only moderately difficult to fix, too.
Any chance of that happening?
Thanks in advance.

Change the command line /: to some paragraph format PH or line feed /.
/E       ELEMENT
PH       &IT_TEXTO-TDLINE&
        OR
/         &IT_TEXTO-TDLINE&
Also why are you passing the text elemnt to internal table first using READ_TEXT. It can be directly done with INCLUDE Command.
