How do I fix the space between the bottom of my window and taskbar?

Recently (today) firefox has had a space between the bottom of the window and my taskbar. I've tried reinstalling and safe mode, and it doesnt go away. Here is a screenshot of the issue. http://imgur.com/mTQtrDN

Nice Work.

How do I remove the white space from the bottom and side of my document?

How do I remove the white space from the bottom and side of my document? (I'm not talking about printing, just viewing it on the screen.) There are about 6 inches of white space at the bottom and at the right hand side. I don't like this. On a blank new spreadsheet it's triple that amount of white space.

The infinite canvas convention doesn't make a lot of sense for Numbers. When I'm viewing a spreadsheet and mistakenly scroll into white, empty space I think, "this is ridiculous - all of my content is fits on one screen. there's nothing over there."
A (relatively) infinite canvas is logical for Microsft Excel because it's one big table. There are 256(?) columns by default and hundreds of rows on a sheet - there are cells outside what a user is looking at to see. However, when viewing a Numbers spreadsheet with a single 10 column 10 row table that fits on the screen, there's nothing else on it to scroll to.
Numbers should distinguish between viewing a spreadsheet and editing one. When I'm just viewing, when there's no content outside the window it shouldn't scroll there. This window behavior is beyond annoying for Numbers on my iPad and iPhone.
(Adding user-defined canvas size setting to my view mode / edit mode thinking would probably be the most complete solution to this now that I think about it.)
Until now the way scrolling worked in Numbers has defied logic. Actually it still does lol. That said, thank you Yellowbox for providing a clear explanation. Much appreciated.

You are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare. Call them. Let them deal w/it.

Can I cut/paste my backups to an external hdd and then back to my mac?

Ok, here's my issue and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I have an iPhone6 and my wife has one as well, and we both have iPads.
I have to backup all of these somewhere, and my current device is a Macbook Pro with 250gb SSD.
As you understand, backing up so many things in so little space it almost renders my Macbook useless.
I have read some advice about using sudo commands to make iTunes store the backups in an external hdd.
However, I am not an experienced mac user, and I do not trust myself doing something like that.
What came to my mind, and that's what I want your opinion upon, is the following.
Something that I used to do when I was using a windows pc to keep many different backups, rename them etc.
As far as I understand, when I plug in my iPhone to my Mac, iTunes recognize the device and the last backup of that device.
Then, by pressing "Backup to my pc etc" it only updates that backup and rewrites on it.
My questions:
I backup my iPhone then quit iTunes.
I remove (cut) the backup folder (the one with the huge weird name from the directory library/application support/mobile sync/backup/0604f04blabhblahblah) and paste it on an external hdd where I have tons of space.
When I want to backup my iPhone again, instead of creating a whole new backup that would take a lot of time, if I take the backup folder that I had stored to that external hdd and paste it back to its original place (the directory I mentioned above), will iTunes recognize it and update and rewrite on that backup?
And then again move it back and forth from my mac to my external hdd.
And something even more important.
In case something happens to my iPhone (it falls from the 10nth floor) and I buy a new one, will I be able to "restore from backup" using the same method I mentioned before? Will iTunes recognize the folder?
Sorry for the long text and any mistakes but english is not my mother tongue and I wanted to make sure I would be clear about my questions.
My current backups use more than half of my 250gb internal SSD and along with some apps and other stuff I cannot get rid off I am left with only 50gigs of space which is terrible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I have iMatch can I move the music files to an external drive and then play the music off the cloud? This way freeing up space on my hard drive? If so how?
You can move the iTunes library to the external and use it there.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folde rto the external.
Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
iTunes will use the external for everything.You can delete /Music/iTunes/ folder.
FYI: The iTunes media folder is not the (entire) iTunes library.

Want to move LR5 catalog to an external HDD and incorporate my Aperture3 files already stored on another external HDD.

With the demise of Aperture, and lack of space on my mac, I would like to consolidate all my LR5 and Aperture images onto ONE external HDD.
My Aperture originals are already on one external HDD, and my LR5 images currently occupy (too much) of my hard drive on my MB air.
Is there an uncomplicated way to join the two sets on another new external HDD?
Thanks

what I meant is that I would like to access my Aperture images via LR5, so have just the one LR5 catalog for all my images.
This is a goal that I would recommend!
However, I can't really state if that's what you need to do with your photos in Aperture, as I have never used Aperture. I'm sure someone else who does use Aperture will be along soon to comment, or you can try your favorite search engine.

How to use the Columns Hidden | space in the bottom of af:panelCollection?

Hi,experts,
In jdev 11.1.2.3,
I can see a row of Columns Hidden | Columns Frozen in the bottom of component af:panelCollection - pc1 which have an af:table - t1 component inside in designer view,
and can see there is a blank row space only with "|" inside when the page is running.
Now I want to use this blank row space such as to display row numbers for the table, so I set the property for the panelColletion as following source code:
==========================
<af:panelCollection id="pc1" inlineStyle="width:1250px; height:500px;">
<f:facet name="menus"/>
<f:facet name="toolbar"/>
<f:facet name="statusbar">
<af:group id="g4"/>
</f:facet>
<af:table value="#{bindings.TView1.collectionModel}" var="row"
rows="#{bindings.TView1.rangeSize}"
emptyText="#{bindings.TView1.viewable ? 'No data to display.' : 'Access Denied.'}"
fetchSize="#{bindings.TView1.rangeSize}" rowBandingInterval="1"
filterModel="#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.queryDescriptor}"
queryListener="#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}" filterVisible="false"
varStatus="vs"
selectedRowKeys="#{bindings.TView1.collectionModel.selectedRow}"
selectionListener="#{bindings.TView1.collectionModel.makeCurrent}"
rowSelection="single" id="t1" inlineStyle="font-size:xx-large; font-weight:bolder;">
<af:column sortProperty="#{bindings.TView1.hints.GoodsStatus3.name}" filterable="true"
sortable="true"
headerText="#{bindings.TView1.hints.GoodsStatus3.label}"
id="c42">
<af:outputText value="#{row.GoodsStatus3}" id="ot33"/>
</af:column>
<f:facet name="footer">
<af:group id="g3">
*<af:outputText value="RowsNumber：" id="ot44"/>*
*<af:outputText value="#{bindings.TView1Iterator.estimatedRowCount}"*
id="ot43" partialTriggers="::pc1:t1"/>
</af:group>
</f:facet><f:facet name="detailStamp"/>
</af:table>
</af:panelCollection>
=====================
but when run the page there is no display for the row number, instead on the bottom of the table, there is only a blank row with "|" inside.
How to use the Columns Hidden | Columns Frozen space in the bottom of component af:panelCollection ?
Thanks!

Hi, Arun
It works.
As in my use case, can draw an af:toolbar component into statusbar of Panel Collection facets in Structure view.
There is still a small issue:
cannot see the Columns Hidden|Columns Frozen component in the Structure view,
and if drop more than one af:toolbar into statusbar, the sencond one will fall/wrap into second row, even though there is enough space on the first row (to occupy a second row in statusbar will be a waste of space), and cannot see how to adjust.
Thank you very much!

How do I get rid of the blank space at the bottom of the new Firefox menu?

The new firefox 4 has a different menu system. IT has blank space at the bottom wiht just a plus sign that opens new tabs. I can get that from the + sign by the tabs and don't want it or the rest of the blank space on the bar. I need all the space in the main window I can get. How do I get rid of this?
Found my own answer, disable Conduit Engine toolbar, whatever the heck that is. Why it's enabled to start with is beyond me.

Hi stephanie,
These are unrelated questions/statements.
Space before and space after a paragraph are controled in the Text Inspector, as you've found out.
Pages will create a page break whenever there is no room for another line on the page. That break can come anywhere in a paragraph.
You may be thinking of Widow and Orphan prevention, and the other Pagination controls, found under the More button in the Text Inspector. (If that's what you found, then thanks for the refresher! I hadn't been to that pane for awhile, and had forgotten the variety of pagination controls available.
Regards,
Barry

How do I move a back up to another external drive and how does the Mac Book then find the new back up?

Using Disc Utility to copy my hard drive to a brand new external drive and am having the error "Unable to create...(Cannot allocate memory)".

I'm not very tech savvy but am trying my best to use Disc Utility to copy my hard drive to a brand new external drive and am having the error "Unable to create...(Cannot allocate memory)".
Last night no problems, woke this morning and it was freezing so I forced a restart and got the grey screen with the folder and question mark. Ran off to best buy to get an external drive... Please help! Thank you!

I have done both. When I hold down the "C" key it pauses for a few seconds while the cd spins and then the flashing folder icon appears.
Could be you have the wrong cd/dvd. The mac will only boot a supported cd/dvd for your machine. The flashing question mark indicdates your machine could not find a valid os.
When I hold down the "option" key for the startup manager the cursor comes up and moves but the actually manager doesn't come up no matter how long I leave the laptop on.
Not sure. Could be your machine does not support the startup manager. You would think the machine would ignore the key.
Where did you get the dvd? What is the number on the DVD?
What machine do you have anyway?

Why is Lion installed on external HDD and iMac says that Lion is already installed when it is not?

I went into the Apps store then logged in to confirm that I wish to pay for the Lion upgrade from Mac OSX v10.6.8.
The downloaded 3Gb installation file went into my Applications folder after a few hours:
This installation application is still in the Application folder of the iMac.
During the upgrade / installation, I got the following message, saying that the installation can't go in the HDD of the computer I was working on (ie. the iMac's Macintosh HD). I had no choice but to select the external HDD (WD-1T) as the installation destination, which proceeded very quickly.
When the installation was complete, the iMac rebooted into a fresh Lion installation, running off the WD-1T! I can see all my old files on the Macintosh HD, as if that HDD was the external HDD!
If I disconnect the WD-1T upon rebooting, I am back to Snow Leopard, running from the iMac's Macintosh HD. If I go the App store, it tells me I have already installed Lion on the iMac (when it is not the case)!
When I go to my MacBook Pro (currently on Snow Leopard and not part of from the above installation), I see that Lion is purchased but not installed. If I click INSTALL, it starts to download what the iMac had earlier downloaded (the Install Mac OS X Lion.app is still sitting in the Application folder of the iMac).
Question:
Can anyone shed some light why this happening and how to get Lion onto the iMac?
How to install Lion on the MacBook Pro without re-downloading the software?

I would say it is related to the purchase date. FaceTime is included in 10.6.6~8 OEM discs.

Getting space at the bottom in the pdf output

I'm designing a pre-printed Invoice report using BI Pub. The template is in word and when I take pdf output I get space at the bottom, even though there is no space at the bottom in template(rtf).
The template fits propely in pre-printed paper, but when its rendered to pdf, all the the data is moving up creating space at the bottom and messing up the alignment.
I appreicate any help or comments from anyone who encountered this problem earlier.
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue on my iPad. So far I've noticed it on one pdf and I'm planning on deleting it and syncing it from my iTunes library again as soon as I get the chance. I'll post an update when I do.

Twin unpowered USB hub for connecting external HDD and iphone

I have a MBA and a powered Kensington 7 port USB hub which works great when I am either at home/in the office.
Is there an unpowered twin port USB hub that would allow me to connect both my WD myv passport 320gb external HDD and 3g iphone to my MBA when i am truly on the move?
thanks in advance

Because those are both drawing power from the macbook air, it might be questionable, but any should do, but I haven't seen any 2 port hubs, only four port ones, and I tend to like Logiix, as their support is good and their products are good also, and they are fairly low profile.
