Is there a live chat forum here on this site? I can't seem to find one

It seeems to me like there should be one. Is there?
To get problems resolved quicker?
Or is there a popular website that mac users use more?
Thanks.

Hi, Christopher.
As noted, there's no live chat here.
According to one of your other posts, you have a new computer: a MacBook Pro. It should still be under warranty.
It comes with a one-year hardware warranty and 90 days of free, telephone-based tech support for problems like the one you've been posting about elsewhere, i.e. you can't "turn if off" or, more precisely, it won't shut down, as you've posted here.
If you want to talk to someone, call AppleCare at 1-800-275-2273 and take advantage of your warranty.
You paid for the warranty (it's factored into the price of your computer) so you should use it.
If you're beyond the 90 days, then I suggest you buy an AppleCare Protection Plan, which extends the hardware warranty by an additional two years and gives you three years of telephone-based support. If you think it's a waste of money, try pricing a replacement LCD for your Mac: the AppleCare Protection Plan is cheap insurance.
Whether questions are answered or unanswered here, particularly by "the regulars," can often depend on how well they are written. See my "Obtaining Help Online" FAQ for some tips on writing better posts than "it won't turn off."
PS: As a tip for future question posts, please fill in your Discussions settings with complete information about your Mac (specific model, RAM, hard drive size, Mac OS X version, etc.). Click "My Settings" in the "Welcome yourscreenname" box in the upper-right corner of this page, then add those details to the "Computer" field therein. Use the "Other Computer Information" field if additional space is required.
Good luck!

Is there a "Large Fonts" feature in OS X? I can't seem to find one.

Hi all,
My mother just got an iMac 27". It is running at 2560x1440. However, at this resolution even on the big monitor the menu bars are quite as is the font on the menus. In windows which she used to use and which I use, there's a "Large Fonts" feature which increases the size of the font on menu bars, and the button on the window manager.
However, I can't seem to find this feature on the mac. I increased the cursor size. I increased the default size of window content in safari etc. And can incr. the size of the dock. But no where can I find a "large font" feature. I can drop the resolution, but this is obviously a bad solution as this just makes everything fuzzy and ugly. Is there any way to preserve resolution and incr. menubar sizes/font sizes? The zoom feature is does not have acceptable behavior to conveniently incr. menu size (most of the time it zooms the menus right out of the frame, and the PIP mode is also poor)
Any ideas? If there is no OS X built in solution, Is there a 3rd part solution to this?

Well...it's fuzzy in the way that when you run an LCD on a non-native resolution (e.g. 1600x900 on 2560x1440) the text isn't sharp anymore. It's very notably ugly and pixelated. Windows would simply enlarge the font size but keep the native resolution which made the text nice looking even at higher resolution.
Hrm. This is very frustrating. Kinda wished I had discovered this before the return period. Seems like OS X has done a very half hearted accessibility. Just decreasing the resolution to increase the size seems kinda lazy. Both Windows, and even many linux window managers have features to adjust this for people with visual impairment without having to sacrifice the resolution. I suppose I could always install Windows on the Mac :-/
Is there not even a 3rd party solution or 3rd party mac window manager that might do this that anyone is aware of? My search turned up empty...
Much appreciated.

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

In fcp7 there is a "close gap" option so you don't have to highlight and move everything every time you delete a small section in the middle of a video. Is it possible to do this in fcpx? I can't seem to find it...Thanks!

This isn't the actual clip, I fixed it by highlighting and moving everything over but it'd still be a good thing to know for the future. This is essentially the situation i'm talking about. I would never use it for something this simple, but when more complicated editing is being done it isn't so easy to just move all the clips over.

I've read that there is an add-on that adds Sync, included with FF starting with 4.0, to Firefox 3.6, but can't seem to find it. I'd like to use it to merge my 3.6 stuff into my FF11 profile...

I've read that there is an add-on that adds Sync, included with FF starting with 4.0, to Firefox 3.6, but can't seem to find it. I need to keep a zoo of different browser versions, including 3.x, but want to sync stuff nonetheless.
So far, I tried variants of "Weave" and "Sync" on addons.m.o, and Google, but to no avail.

I use several different computers, different software, and a mobile device, too. I have the bulk of my important data in a FF3.6 profile, and I also need to keep the FF3.6 for web development purposes (every version renders slightly different, but the difference between 3.6 and 11 is very noticable). Also, FF11 has some problems, like forgetting passwords, but accrued an independent set of bookmarks, passwords, add-ons etc., so trashing that is not an option, either (although I am usually on 11 these days). Wading through tons of stuff to merge is not a good option either, and Sync would have helped to unify all of that.
@TonyE: Would Xmarks and LastPass merge with Sync data from newer FF? I'll give that a whirl.
@cor-el: Thank you for the link. It does explain the current situation, but the arguments put forward in that article are that highly aggravating marketing speak that I have come to expect from the Mozilla Corp. guys.
I still don't understand why they couldn't let the addon online for a few more days, maybe with a disclaimer that support ran out on mm/dd/yyyy, and that it will e.g. be pulled together with the main product.
@Tylerdowner: I'll probably try to merge the stuff from 3.6 into 11 by creating another FF11 profile and then use Sync between them.
@all: Thank you so far. If someone has a pointer for where to get eg. the source code of the pulled Sync, I'd highly appreciate that, too.

Can I create a live chat forum in business catalyst, if so how?

Using my CS 6 Extended Muse application, or even Dreamweaver, is it possible to create a live chat room and upload to my personal BC site (you know, one of the free five sites that come with the CS6 membership).

Not likely as you would need some back-end coding for most live chat applications, even with web sockets.

How do you live chat on here?

i've already tried doing it and its telling me, that i can start the conversation later, i need to start a conversaion with an advisor now!! it doesn't give you a specific link to go straight to the chat, i have already tried doing this;
pressing categories>press topic>waiting 5 seconds>then presseing chat now under 'still need help'?
1. there is no "chat now button under the writting "still need help?" the only thing that is under that, is the "express lane" button and i've already tried that, i need help with this ASAP!!

You can select music to sync in iTunes, or if you want to drag and drop, you need to check Manually Manage Music

Craig,
It was image.cpp line 2770. I am told (by another person in the company that has seen this) that it has been seen on several machines, always PXI controllers, but not on all PXI controllers. I am told that it is not always image.cpp that reports the error, but for me it was always the same line of code identified by the error message. I did not have a chance to do any experimenting to find a particular threshold number of mnu files. I may be able to find error logs. I currently sent the controller to our IT department, doing a windows XP repair, just in case there was something corrupted in the system itself.
The error was reproducible. This installation at one time must have included real-time / FPGA, because on the opening screen I ge the drop-down ring for selecting a target. If I click on this drop down ring, I get the crash on line 2770, every time. If, instead I open an empty new VI, I am able to switch to the block diagram by selecting the window directly with the mouse, but if I try to pull down on the "window" menu to do "show block diagram", I get the crash on line 2770, every time. Because the user-defined mnu files are now deleted, I would have to create them again, or find a way to reinstall them, to reproduce the error at this point.
