MS Excel 2008 will not remember my page setup :0

I am using MS Excel 2008 and have my page setup for 11x17 sheets in a landscape mode. I have set the print area and the sheet size. Every time I close Excel and re-open it, it reverts back to an 8.5x11. Anyone else experience this? It is really getting to me. Thanks

If you format for a different printer as a test, does the setting "stick"? Do you have the latest drivers for the printer? Have you updated Office to its highest version (should be 12.2.6)
This question should probably get a review in the MS Excel forums here:
http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Excel/
At least you'll get a more targeted look at others who may have experienced the same problem. I did not get Office 2008 until after I no longer had access to an nice 11x17 printer. However, I have 2008 on my MBP as well as a G4 tower and an older PowerBook G4, so I check, but probably not tonight.
I seriously doubt there is a hardware problem with your MBP, and probably not a Mac OS problem either. MS seems to have rushed 2008 out the door.

Safari will not remember home page

This actually happened when I originally upgraded to Lion but has continued with Mountain Lion. I have a Mac Mini and an iMac and this occurs on both computers. When I open Safari rather than going to the home page as it did with Snow Leopard it returns to the last page I visited. I checked Safari preferences and it shows my home page as set properly. Is there any other thing that needs to to set in preferences so Safari opens to the home page? I have cleared history, reset Safari and anything else I can think of but it continues ot return to the last page visited. What am I missing?

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist (preferences) on one of the Macs.
Quit Safari then open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.

New tab page will not remember any frequently visited sites

Before the update to 34.0.5, the new tab page worked fine. Now it will not remember any pages I go to. Dragging bookmarks over just opens the bookmark. Remember history is on.

'''Found my own answer: '''
The update to Firefox version 34.0.5 changed the way zoom works for the New Tab page. My visited sites are being saved, but I have to zoom out several levels to see them. I have to do this ''every time ''I open the New Tab page.
To customize the default zoom for my tabs, I tried the NoSquint add-on first. It worked for every page except the New Tab page.
'''Google search for:''' firefox new tab page zoom add-on
'''Returned:''' Default FullZoom Level :: Add-ons for Firefox
Default FullZoom Level→User Reviews→'''Find On This Page search for:''' New Tab Page
'''Returned: '''"...this extension applies the selected default zoom in the preferences to the new tab page..." Firebird, ''a Firefox user''
The Default FullZoom Level add-on has resolved my issue.

WIndows 7 and Server2008 machines will not remember network discovery preferences, requires setting every start up or wake up.

hello
I wondered if anybody here could be so kind as to help me solve this situation
i have two Windows 7 machines and Server2008 machines will not remember network discovery preferences,
i am running software on the windows server machine that collects data and serves information to two windows 7 machines, and network discovery is required for this purpose
these machines are configured in a local stand alone network configured as a workgroup the only other items on network are none PC based equipment that the server happily communicates with and reads data from
once the network discovery is set for the network the system runs as expected but on every start-up (or wake up) the network discovery is lost and need to be re allowed. this is the case in both windows server 20008 r2 and windows 7
how do i make these preferences permanent. so that it will restart and re establish communication its self without intervention
am i missing a setting or if not is there a way i can script the the selection of preference on each start(/wake)up.
the final user need to be able to turn system on/restart and use it with out having to have any IT/networking knowledge to get system running.
thank you for taking the time to read my query

You can use group policy to enable network discovery so that it is always configured
1. In the Group Policy editor on a Win7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 computer, open the GPO that you want
to use in the Group Policy Editor.
2. Expand "Computer Configuration", "Windows Settings", "Security Settings", "Windows Firewall with Advanced
Security", and then "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - {policy you have open}".
3 Right-click "Inbound Rules", and then click "New Rule".
4 In the Rule Wizard, on the Rule Type page, select"Predefined", and then select Network Discovery from
the list. Click Next.
5 On the Predefined Rules page, ensure that the check box is on each rule that is part of the Network
Discovery group, and then click Next.
6 On the Action page, select "Allow the Connection", and then click Finish.

Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs

Using an old school PPC Mac, OSX 10.4.11. Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs. It only remembers the last page visited for searchable pdfs, but not for scanned. I have the box checked in "Preferences: Restore last view settings..." I cannot upgrade Reader on this system, or my OS, so I'm stuck using what I have for now. I have to read huge documents for my work, that will include hand written notes in the margin and other marks on the page. The documents are hundreds of pages long, so it's a bit frustrating that it can't remember the page number for this type.
Are there any fixes for this? Something else I can try?

I tried to find the download for 9.5.5, but my OS is not in the list. I'm on a non-intel PPC mac. I tried finding that version on the web, but most of the links lead me back to Adobe, where it doesn't seem to want to be found. It obviously exists somewhere, but Adobe isn't making it easy to access!

Firefox v3.6.8 will NOT remember passwords. I've doubled check the settings but it will not remember the passwords

New HP laptop, O/S XP-Pro, my previous computer with XP-Pro had no problem remembering passwords but this v of Firefox will not remember the PW's

Thanks Cor-el. It now works on some sites, but there are still some where it doesn't work. The problem appears to be with sites that have more than just the username and password to fill in. Firefox only saves the username and password but not the other fields. It then refuses to fill in any of the fields on the site.
For instance, my bank has four fields on the sign-in page - username, security code, password, and an odd one with a number between 1 and 4 in it. Firefox only saves the username and password and so can't fill in the other fields. Actually it refuses to fill in any of the fields. It seems to not recognise the page at all.
The only way I can see around the problem at the moment is to save any that Firefox will save and use RoboForm to save the others. It means having two programs to do one job. It's messy but at least it works and I can save all my usernames and passwords and have them fill in properly.
I don't know why it is that RoboForm will save the data but Firefox won't. It appears to be something to do with Firefox only saving two fields whereas RoboForm will save any number as required.

Brower will not remember log-on even if asked to do so

I downloaded a program that clears all browsing history, which it did. Upon restart I found It still goes to the websites but all I get is a white screen with blue wording down left side.
I did some resetting in my Tools/privacy/history settings and ended up with " Always use 'Private setting mode' and "Never remember history". This setting now opens the web sites correctly
BUT
It will not remember log-in status even within the same session. For example I log into my banking site fine, then choose to look at my account information and it asks me to log-in. Id and get the page.
I then want to pay a bill, it asks me to log-in ect,ect,ect,
Or I log-into my home page, It used to log-on automatically, choose to navigate to my e-mail program and again it asks for a log in. When finished I return to the home page and have to log in again.
Can anybody help.?
Thank you.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

IPad will not remember my client card number for online banking since ios7 update

iPad will not remember my client card number for online banking since ios7 update

Generally speaking, your bank would use a cookie to store your card number (bad) or to associate your browser with its list of saved card numbers (less bad). If you have cookies cleared after each session, then you may be blocking this feature.
To check your cookie handling for your bank's site, when you are on the site, right-click the page and choose View Page Info, then Permissions. Under "Set Cookies" most likely the "Use Default" checkbox is checked. The actual setting will appear in gray.
If the actual setting is not Allow, then uncheck "Use Default" and check "Allow." This will take effect the next time you start Firefox or if you clear the site's cookies on the Security tab (View Cookies button) and then revisit the site.
If the actual setting already is Allow, then some other feature (e.g., clearing history when you exit) or program (e.g., a security suite) is clearing the cookie.
This article has more tips on troubleshooting problems with cookies that don't save: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites%20say%20cookies%20are%20blocked Websites say cookies are blocked | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

Safari will not remember passwords

I've only recently started using keychain but this has already gotten on my nerves. Almost all of my websites will not remember my password, and not just banking sites - even YouTube and MySpace ask for my password. And when I do, it gives me the "This password is different. Would you like to replace the saved password with this one?", even though it's the same.
I've searched the discussion pages and here's a list of solutions I've tried but to no avail:
- Checking "User names and passwords" in Autofill in Safari preferences
- Unchecking "Open with Rosetta" (wasn't checked anyway)
- Deleting com.apple.safari.plist
- Keychain First Aid
- Creating new keychain
- Deleting "Safari Forms Autofill"
Can anyone help me out?
Rob

I also have the same problem and have tried all the recommended solutions to no avail. I have finally switched to Firefox for most of my Web browsing because it does not present a similar inconvenience for me as does Safari right now. Nonetheless, I still wish that was not the only apparent solution to this problem for me, as I prefer Safari to Firefox otherwise.
If any of you finally do find a was to fix this once and for all, please clue me in, too.
Thanks!

Pages 3.0.3 will not open in Pages 5.5.2

I just purchased a new iMac and Pages documents (version 3.0.3) will not open in Pages 5.5.2 in my new iMac.
Is there a way to open them? I am using OS X 10.10.2. TIA

Pages v5 dropped support for Pages '08, and .RTF documents. If you are running Pages '08 v3.0.3 on Yosemite, just export the documents to Word .doc, and these will open in Pages v5.5.2. I have found that a Pages '08, or '09 document uploaded to the zamzar site can also be converted to Word .doc/docx for free. They will send you an email in a few moments of the conversion with a pointer to the Word document to download.
Note. You do not need to sign up on the Zamzar site to upload, convert, and download the converted document. Process just took me under 2 minutes. They will store documents for 1 day.

Safari will not open bookmark pages (nor will it post question!)9th time

Ok. I interrupted someone elses thread - partly I think because of the problem I am having it self in that it was - grab the page while you can! Any page.. and type like mad quick before it changes it's mind.
The problem - I recently got wire free netgear. Safari was working fine. In fact better than on my previous lap which would quite often tell me I was using an "unsupported browser".
Over the last few days Safari often refuses to open bookmarks and also sometimes headings on a web page e.g. after getting to the Apple page "Support" "Discussion".
So to get the pages I want I go to Google(if it decides to open my bookmark google) and try and re find bookmarks that it was opening perfectly well previously.
It tells me it cannot open the page as I am not connected to the internet. The internet connect is showing me that I am connected and when I go through diagnosis it often tells me that the internet connection seems to be working ok. But safari still will not open the page and is teling me I am not connected and so I go around in circles - and eventual open Opera in desperation which seems to work fine.
Having said all that Opera then started doing the same. I have contacted my broadband and they say that some people are experiencing problems with their emails at the moment. So I'm not sure now whether it is a bug in my browsers or a server problem or something else. It doesn't seem SO bad today but it is still a problem. Any ideas for a solution very grateful.

Gawd, how have you managed not to update it?! The current version is Version 3.1.2 (4525.22)!
Small wonder it won't work with 10.4.11.
Have you ever used Software Updater to check whether there are any updates available for your Mac?
I would recommend that you download the latest version from here:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
But please make sure that you download the version for Tiger and not for Leopard.
BUT before you do so, and before you install it, please go through the following routine:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
More useful reading here:
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
If all is OK, install the new Safari, and REBOOT, then repair permissions again.

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my computer is slow and will not open some pages can i uninstall

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my mac is really really slow and will not open some pages. Can I uninstall?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

My browser will not load a page or update unless I am actively moving my cursor or typing. If I select a page and don't do anything then it doesn't load at all. I have no idea how this happened or how to fix it. Thanks.
