If you upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion, and did not upgrade to Office 2008 or later, that may be part of the problem.  Try LibreOffice, OpenOffice, NeoOffice, Google Docs, or Zoho Docs.  See my FAQ* for link:  http://www.macmaps.com/crossplatform.html

  • Firefox opened Oct 15, 2014 as a black screen. I have been using it for years with no problems. Can't get it to reinstall.

    I have a black screen as of starting up Mozilla this morning. No address bar or any tabs are available. I have done system restore to an earlier date when I knew it was functioning and still have the same problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and have the same problem.

    hello laplus5, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd2000/3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • TS1347 I have been using Outlook for years...so an account has been set up...but I still cannot move events created on my iphone to outlook...events created on outlook do go to the iphone.

    I recently purchased an iphone and am trying to get the phone to sync with Outlook.   I have been using Outlook for years, my last phone was a palm and I had hard sync capability.   Trying to use Wi-Fi, and have also tried hard wired...when I create an event on my phone it will not show up in Outlook.   If I create an event in Outlook it will show up on the phone.   Any ideas on how to make this work?   The help line says I need to set up Outlook...and to run the Wizard...but that has been done.

    I have been using iTunes for years to connect to the radio and just recently tried to tune in and an error sign pops up stating " A error occurred while contracting the radio tunning service. Check your internet connection or try again later." There's no problrm with my internet service so what's up?

    You are probably using an old version of iTunes with which the stream link service seems to have stopped working for many users of older iTunes.  No, Apple makes no comment about this kind of thing.  It may reappear, it may not (it has been dead for over a week now).  Your solution is to upgrade the operating system version on your computer from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 so you can run a newer iTunes, or live without.  You can still open streams if you can get the URL, and you can then save them as playlist items.

  • Been using Firefox for years, yesterday not able to get Firefox page at all, page comes up blank

    I have been using Firefox for years. Somehow I seem to have blocked it. I get a blank page when trying to enter the site. What to do? thank you

    Can you attach a screenshot?

    *Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
    *Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
    Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
    Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
    If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the <b>issuer of the certificate</b>.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
    If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
    *Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
    *Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

  • I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. Why?

    I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. This so annoying, I just switched to Firefox. I don't like Firefox nearly as much as I like Safari. What is happening? How do I fix the problem?
    Thank you.

    Might be a corrupted database ...
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • I've been using Firefox for years. Now your load screen appears everytime I open. It's a hassle!

    Every time I open Firefox to go to the internet I get a page that says thanks for becoming a tester, etc. Then you want me to download Firefox, which I've done 6 times now! Then you make Firefox Search my homepage. Then I change the homepage. Then a screen comes up saying AVG has been successfully installed. Then I use the internet and the next time I re-open Firefox I get the same bull##%% routine!
    I've been using Firefox for years. What's up? It's a major hassle!

    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

    I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5.  I've been using this for years.  I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message.  I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work.  I checked import menu and nothing has changed.  I loaded the photos onto my tablet and images are fine, so do not feel it is the memory card.  Any thoughts?

    The error message probably said "unsupported or damaged"
    The T3 requires Lightroom 3.4.1 or later. You can either upgrade to a more current version of Lightroom (version 5.6 is the most recent) or you can use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RAWs to DNG, which should import into Lightroom properly.

  • Have been using Thunderbird for years..can someone please--please--please-tell me when I can change font sizes numerically???

    I have been using Thunderbird for ages and just love the way it works. However, is there any possibility that the ability to alter font size from '10' to '12' instead of 'bigger or smaller' be available??
    It would be awesome to be able to do that.
    Thanks for your time in advance

    Numerical font size change is not a choice using Thunderbird. You can open a new "write mail" an increase font size by choosing the first and second "A" in the body line directly below the subject line. You have to be in the body of the letter to make this available. Also, in tools, options, composition, general, HTML you can set both color and font size with choices from xx small to xx large (by default), and then increase the default font size as stated above. As always, remember to click apply or OK when making these changes.

  • I've imported some midi tracks, used the mixer to set pan, volume etc, but when I stop playback and restart it sets every midi track back to '0'. I've been using LE for years, this is a new one, any ideas?

    I've imported some midi tracks, used the mixer to set pan, volume etc, but when I stop playback and restart it sets every midi track back to '0'. I've been using LE for years, this is a new one, any ideas?

    Hi,
    that's because Logic reads the volume information out of the imported MIDI tracks and sets the volume fader according to this information. The MIDI information overrides volume settings you have done, so you have to identify the MIDI events that contain volume (or expression or pan or whatever) information and delete them. You can use the event list editor for this.
