I need a visually impaired configuration that 1) standardizes all the fonts on a page to one size, so that ... (cont'd)

2) they can all be maximized to the largest possible size, while 3) NOT forcing table columns larger than the screen width so that all the text in a column STAYS ON THE DAMNED SCREEN! Is there a way to do this (so far the add ons have come up lacking, and do NOT cover all three bases)...
There may be a CSS style sheet solution that I haven't seen.
An add on called "Readability" works sometimes but only with certain "articles," but they have an approach that can be considered useful for expanding on.
The Firefox FONT features are inadequate and give poor results in the real world.
The minimum font size MAX of 24 is too small, and changing it in about:config gives poor results as well. It is necessary to force all font sizes to be the same first, before applying these algorithms. How can this be done?

I've tried both of those. The problem is that they don't normalize all the fonts on the page first. The large header fonts push the columns too large, while the smaller fonts don't increase enough compared to the headers. This makes for either fonts that are too small where I want to actually read, or it pushes the text OFF THE SCREEN.
None of these add ons has tackled this obvious issues properly (on my Firefox 4 installation anyway).
That is except for the Readability plug in, which only works with certain pages, but it does a pretty good job on those. See the Readability add on and try it for a better understanding of what I need to use the web efficiently.
Thanks.

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

Need help. I am running a 27 in imac with 16 gigs of ram. Photoshop runs really fast, except when opening files. It takes 5-10 minutes to open even a small file of 1 meg. I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

What are the performance Preferences?

Does anyone know how to select text in Appleworks, click on the font button and then be able to scroll thru all the font so that one can see the text change as you scroll down the list, at present I have to do it one font style at a time and then repeat

Welcome to the Apple forums
Your question really belongs in the AppleWorks community/forum.
You can turn on fonts in actual type in the AppleWorks preferences.

Select all the text on a page by touching an area that is white space

I have read that you can select all the text on a page by touching an area that is white space, for example at the edge of a column. Sometimes this works for me, but most of the time it does not. Should it? Is there more to it? Is this a documented gesture?
I want to be able to select all the text in a long page, where it would be very tedious to drag the copy handles. This would be the equivalent of CMD A on a computer.

Yea, thanks, I've read that. It doesn't cover selecting all the text in one gesture, which is what I want to be able to do. This doesn't seem to be covered.
I've been fooling around since I wrote the first post, and discovered that if you tap and hold to display the selection buttons (as noted in your quote) and then drag one of the blue selection buttons to the top (or bottom) of the text, then the other button will jump to the bottom (or top) and you have effectively selected all the text. This is what I wanted to do.
The reason I wanted to do it is so I can select all the text in an article that I want to read, then copy and paste it into an app I just got, Speak it!, and then have the app read me the article while I get some exercise riding my stationary bike.

Illustrator's font is different for some reason and hard to read, I need to change it so i can read all the tabs and file names. Like file, edit, options, type, select, effects..... swatches, layers.. every tab is in a different font that is hard to read

Illustrator's tabs are all in a different font that I can read.
I need to know how to change it so I can get back to a steady workflow.
For example..
File, edit, options, type, select, effects, view, windows, help..... pathfinder, layers, swatches, stroke, and the file name (all the tabs)
are all in a different font, I don't know how it got changed but now it is different.
This is a shared computer so someone might have changes it on accident but I'm not sure.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

How do I prevent the yellow bar from appearing across the top of Hotmail emails that says, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." I DO NOT want plugin. How do I get Firefox to stop sending message?

Note: I did try to install the plugin just to see what would happen. When I clicked on "Install Missing Plugin" the next page said plugin could not be found---install manually. I clicked on manual install button and was directed to Adobe Flash Player - I already have current version of AFP installed.

Why do I need to enter the Product Key Number all the time when I open Office programs? I use Microsoft Office Mac 2011 Home & Student. At least every week I need to re-enter the product key number..... Why??

Get in touch with Microsoft support. Let them solve it. That is what I had to do with a similar problem.

My ipod says i have no music on it, but when i plug it into itunes, and look under music on my ipod, its all there. NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! all the music came from a computer which i no longer have, so my ipod is the only place where that music is.

This morning, i downloaded about 16 songs to put on my ipod, and i manually dragged them over to my ipod to sync that way (like i always do because the music on my ipod came from a different computer which I no longer have) and on my way to work, i realized my ipod says "no content" under Music. However, when I plug my ipod into itunes and click on the music tab under my ipod name, all of my music is there. What happened and how do i get that music back on my ipod? I need help asap.

You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
http://dl.i-funbox.com/
to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync

TS3212 My Macbook says that I need I software update but I have downloaded all the updates it said to earlier.

Every time I try to install iTunes on my Macbook it comes up with an error messaging saying that my software is out of date. How do I get it to download?

What is the exact message?
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Which version of iTunes are you running?

I need to make another iTunes account but keep all the purchases from an old account which I shared with my family. Is there any way to do that?

Hello, I am finishing up High School ready to go to college, and I wanted to make a new iTunes account with my billing information so I could start fresh. I have an iPod synced to a current account, and the rest of my family has their computers synced to this universal account as well. What I'm really trying to do is just create a new account, but find a way to move all of my apps, music, and movies to this account as well, all while keeping the old account untouched. Any infromation for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to anyone who can help

Content can't be moved from the old account to the new one unless the iTunes Store staff says otherwise. You'll be able to use the old content after setting up the new account, but will require the old account's password to be able to update it or make in-app purchases from it.

I accidentally renamed all the file names on every single one of my 24000 photos in aperture using batch change ( keywords, metadata etc) Can I undo this action or will I need to restore from an earlier time machine/capsule backup?

You're welcome.
A second copy of the iPhoto library on a second drive is always good. I once lost my backup drive and the system drive at the same time, because a lightning caused a power surge that killed both my macs system drive and the connected backup drive. I was lucky to have a bootable clone of the system drive as a second backup.
