IPad alignment issues - any more suggestions in late 2013?

Hi,
I realise that this question has been asked before, but many of the replies are from over a year ago, so I am wondering if anyone can shed anymore light on it?
I have a site I designed in Muse that displays justified left on an ipad and iphone, rather then centered.
I have gone through the pages and there seems to be no objects that are sitting to the right of the page which would cause the problem.
I tried adding 'overflow:hidden' in the css file, and while this fixed the issue on the ipad, it stopped the full browser width images and footer diaplying at full width.
Any more ideas on how to fix this? Is it possible to add 'overflow;hidden' to the css file AND keep the footer and full browser with images displaying at full width?
The site in question is http://www.wearebrightlight.com
Many thanks for your help.
Regards,
Ben

Lol, sorry about that. It seems we exchanged typos. Yours in the original URL and mine in neglecting to type "not" a Muse generate site.
Now that I'm looking at the correct (very nice) site, a couple notes.
First, when scroll effects are used, the pinch to zoom functionality on mobile devices is disabled. Due to idiosyncrasies of mobile browsers we have yet to find a way to have scroll effects work correctly/reliably across mobile browsers when combined with pinch zooming. (If you find sites with scroll effects that have pinch zooming enable, please point them out to us. Perhaps we'll be able to determine a way to enabling pinch zooming with scroll effects in the future.)
Second, when a site is loaded into a mobile browser the browser will zoom the view such that the left edge of the page is at the left edge of the device and the right edge of the content (which is the page width if everything is within the page width) is at the right edge of the device.
From the appearance of your site in a mobile browser I expect the content in the Work section of the page is flush with the left edge of the page and that somewhere on the page there's content that extends to roughly ruler location 1333, since the browser appears to be zooming out so roughly 1333 pixels are scaled down to fit in the width of the device.
If this doesn't appear to match what things looks like in Design view, a screenshot of the Work section in design view with guides displayed and everything unlocked, visible and selected may help us better understand the layout.
If this does match the current appearance, then moving everything to the right on the page would provide a left "margin" and verifying no content is outside the right of the page will cause the area between zero and the right page edge to scale to fill mobile browsers.

IPad not charging any more...?

The last two days i notices my iPad not charging any more. Eventhough when pluging it into the A/C outlet it would show on the small top right icon, that it's charging, but the battery status renmained at 10% or so... now the battery seems totally drained and i can even restart it.
I also tried using my iPhone A/C adaptor as well as directly charging it from my notebook USB... nothing...death...
Any one knows what to do?
thx guyy.

Turn your iPad all the way off. Then plug it into the A/C outlet with the adaptor that came with your iPad. Since your battery level is so low, it may take a while for it to have enough juice to power on. Your notebook USB and iPhone charger probably don't have enough power to charge the iPad. Don't use them in the future for charging.

Sounds like you may have been in extended display mode. If so, all you had to do was drag a window to the projector display. Or, if you wanted mirrored mode, in display preferences select check mirror display.

Resolution issue with macbook pro 13 (late 2013) and dell u2711

I have a Dell U2711 (native resolution 2560x1440) that I use without issue with a macbook pro late 2007 (running 10.10.x), various iMacs and Macbook air 2011 running 10.10. When I say without issue, the display works at its native resolution.
Last week we got a MacBook Pro 13in, late 2013 model.
If I connect this macbook via either thunderbolt connection to the u2711 using either DVI port on the dell, the maximum resolution that I can use is 1920x1080. I am using apple mini displayport to DVI adaptors (I have tried 2 different ones and 2 different DVI cables, with no improvement). Clicking option + scaled in sys prefs does not give the native resolution as an option.
However, I just discovered that if I use a DVI to HDMI adaptor and I connect the macbook to the display I get the full native resolution without issue (2560x1440).
I have zapped the pram, powered down the display etc etc etc and it made no difference.
I would prefer to use the mini DIsplayPort to DVI adaptor rather than HDMI, any suggestions appreciated.
TIA.

Are there any viruses for iMac late 2013?

I bought an iMac 27 late 2013. My first apple anything. I was told by the B/B sales person that I needed webroot for anti-virus protection. I got it and now I am not sure if I need it. I have read a few articles and watched some you tube vids from 2010. What they all claim is there were no viruses at that time and that buying a program to prevent a virus was a waste of money since there was nothing at that point. I can't find any thing on a virus for the iMac 27. Any one heard different ?

Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in everyemail attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

Keynote on Ipad warning: custom and mixed lists may look different... bulleted list have bullet vertical alignment "issues" any fixes?

Help.
I am working on a high-end Keynote presentation. It was originally a poerpoint file, that I opened in keynote. So far so good. I applied keynote themes, and used bullets etc, looks great on the mac. Move it to the ipad, and the top bullet looks fine, all 1st level bullets below it have a higher vertical alignment, which no longer in alignment with the text. What am I doing to cause this? all spacing etc, is exactly the same.
anybody know a tip or trick to keep this from happening?

I answered my own question... with many, many tests.
I FINALLY figured out what the common feature was, that was causing the misalignment of the bullets.
Line spacing.
If you apply line spacing BEFORE a paragraph, it misaligns the bullets... which is WHY it wasn't happening to the 1st bullet in each text box, but only those following....
In the final test I changed the line spacing attribute to AFTER a paragraph, and VOILA! no more misaligned bullets.
It's definitely a bug in the software, since either way it looks fine on the mac, and is only a problem on the iPad.
hope that saves someone else some valuable time!!!

IChat used to work fine but not any more - suggestions?

I've used iChat for about 1 year very successfully but recently video chat has stopped working. I have a MacBook Pro that doesn't work and a PowerBook where it still works fine.
Both have the same system and iChat software. Both are on the same wireless network. The Powerbook can connect to collegues and also the Apple test users (appleu3test01, 02, 03 etc.) while the MacBook Pro no longer connects although it used to connect just fine.
Symptom: I've tried having the MacBook request a conference with the PowerBook and the PowerBook never realizes that the MacBook requested a conference. When I try to initiate the conference from the PowerBook to the MacBook the MacBook never acknowledges that there has been a request. If I try to connect to appleu3test01 iChat on the MacBook displays
"Waiting for response..." for as long as I leave it the request window open.
It seems my MacBook Pro can no longer initiate nor recognize a video chat. (text chat works fine)
Given the above situation I have not tried to modify my router settings nor look into what my service provider might be doing - after all, everthing is still working great on one of my Macs.
All I have done is to try the old school Mac trick of deleting preferences. Specifically the com.apple.iChat.SubNet.plist, com.apple.iChatAgent.plist, com.apple.iChat.plist plists. That made no difference.
If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance

I share that funny feeling but:
10.4.3 is to long ago for me to know whether it is within reach of the backward compatibility specifics of 10.4.10, the machine specifics, the routers settings and it's performance in combination with the italian provider and the policy they have towards their subscribers. Just to give an example, apparently the Powerbook does video chat, the MacBook doesn't The QT version that currently is downloadable has system requirements that ask for 10.4.9 as a minimum. And that is just a detail.
A little change to your settings could solve this, but I advice you to to a reset of your network hardware, and update them one by one to the current release versions of their hard (firmware) and software. Check the site of the ISP and router for advise on their current network mode. Write down their details, and your required input network access. Unplug the devices. Leave them a good 15 minutes to power completely down. The device that comes first in contact with the internet connection needs to be plugged in first. Wait till the lights are blinking stable, now connect your MacBook Pro direct to the Ethernet port of the Modem (?) and log in to the interface of the device by typing it's IP address into Safari. Choose easy set up, and you will be asked to input the information you have previously checked on your ISP's site. Check if the firmware corresponds with the version you looked up on their site. It probably will mention if there is new software available and it will take a minute. After the device has restarted, connectivity is confirmed. Click an internet site in safari, and walk through the network diagnostics windows to set up a stable network conform ISP advice. Now the second mac needs to start, select a site in safari, if it needs diagnostics it will ask, respond in accordance to join the network you just have set up.
Some possible trouble causes to look at as well:
Channel settings used by the american sold Extreme is not set to a number that the Italian bought Express automatically switched to as interference was eminently asking for. (Or vice versa and variations on the theme)
Encryption running on the MacBook Pro could cause the problem etc.
The MacBook Pro has an Extreme card. The Powerbook has an Express card.
The Extreme is limited to the performance of the Express now.
Check the help feature as well, open iChat, select help in the top menu.
You need to have a valid internet account, and current up to date software & firmware.
Hope it covers your issue but if it is not solved please post back: Firewall or router settings are likely to cause these problems as well. I am not very good at those.

I can't be the only one with this issue. MacBook Pro Retina Late-2013 WiFi disconnects after waking up from sleep.

Did anyone buy a MacBook Pro Retina 13" from Best Buy this Black Friday?
I'm having an issue where the WiFi disconnects after the MacBook wakes from sleep but only after a couple of minutes.
Once the WiFi disconnects, I can't reconnect to the same network and sometimes it won't find nearby networks.
I have to turn off the WiFi and wait for at least 5 seconds before turning it back on for it to auto-reconnect to my home network.
If I wait less than 5 seconds, it will continue to attempt connection to the home network but won't connect.
I've tried reformatting and deleting my network configurations as well as resetting my modem, power cycling it, etc.
I am using 2Wire Gateway modem/router from AT&T on b/g network.
I've tried connecting to a friend's network under Time Warner Cable and the same issue occurs.
I exchanged the MacBook at a Best Buy for a brand unopened one (I hope) and the same exact thing happens with this new one.
Really, I can't be the only one with this issue. Unless in a 0.00001% chance I received two defective units in a row?
Please.. does anyone have a clue why this is happening?

You're definitely not the only one. I have the same issue. I spent 6 hours over multiple days on the phone with Apple support trying a variety of things (some of which are mentioned above), and none of them worked. They finally sent me a replacement laptop. I made sure to try it periodicaly as I was moving files and installing applications to see if I ran into it again and things seemed okay at first but now I am running into the same issue and it is terribly annoying. I've got 5 other devices that connect to the same router and I've never had this issue with any of them.
My router is a Linksys E2000. I haven't tried changing the router channel but I have tried to cnnecting to other networks in the building I live in and I have run into the same issue there.

Issue at start (MBP Retina late 2013)

Hi everyone, I have some little issues with my MBP: after the start it takes about 18 seconds to show the files in the folder. No coloured wheel, I just have to wait. Is this normal? Sorry for my bad english and thanks!
Luca

Luca,
If you're talking about when you first turn the machine on, it has to load up the operating system. 18 seconds is actually pretty fast. Sounds like your Mac is fine.
