My en-dashes in Pages turn into thin em-dashes.

My en-dashes in Pages turn into thin em-dashes. After conversion to ePub and displayed on my iPad. Any ideas?

It sounds like it could be a font issue. Are you sure you are using a font in Pages which is present on the iPad?

In 3.6.8,One web page turns into 10 or more reloaded pages of the same in my history, how to fix?

This happens mainly when I'm in a MSN web page. For instance, I'll click on a link in the news section, and I'll notice that once the page is loaded the loading circle is still spinning...and spinning...and spinning. When I go to use the Back button, nothing happens. I look at the history and 10 copies and counting of that same page are listed there.
Please advise as to how to fix. It's kind of annoying.
Thanks!

I open a site, it loads and i'm already reading or looking at it and suddenly it turns into a blank page without me doing nothing or moving or clicking anywhere. Have happened to me on 3 different addresses

Hi.
I'm having a problem with Firefox. Lately it have happened to me that I'm looking at a site and suddenly the site turns into a white blank page and that happens without me doing anything or clicking anywhere. The site loads normally and I can navigate through the page but then all the content disappears and shows just a white page. At first I thought it was a problem with the address because that problem happened to me just in this one(http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=231&cat=144&category=142) while I was looking at the classifieds but today I was browsing other pages(e.g. www.collegeboard.org) and the same thing happened. And it doesn't happen on every site, so far is has been just in a couple of addresses. Then, in order to fix this, I have to click the "go back one page" button to get to the same page I was on. It looks like when it turns white is because it goes to a different page because if I reload that white page nothing happens until I click "go back". I hope you can help me.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

I'm having trouble with popups on my mac book pro constantly along with words on every page that have turned into links. how do i fix this???

i have pop ups constantly from mackeeper and many other websites. i also have noticed that some words on all websites have turned into links... how do i fix the problem??

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

Previous saved tabs turned into blank pages. Firefox.

Hi, I've been using Firefox for a long time and have set it to 'Restore Previous Session' setting. But earlier today as I open Firefox, all of my previous tabs have turn into new tabs instead (blank pages). The amount of tabs I had still remain the same just that they've all been turn into new tabs. I still have the list of websites I've visited in my History but my previous tabs are all saved throughout the year and I've cleared my history before. I would really appreciate anyone's help in getting back my old tabs. Thank you and regards.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Browsing History

How do I open my old Appleworks documents which have turned into Unix Executable Files? I would like to convert them into Pages documents.

How do I open my old Appleworks documents which have turned into Unix Executable Files? I would like to convert them into Pages documents. I also have old Word Perfect documents which have become similarly unopenable.

Best bet might be to try opening them using LibreOffice [free] and save them to .doc.
Do you really want to save them as .pages files? You are jumping from the frypan into the fire. Yet another proprietary format that Apple has again deadended with no working translation.

Thanks for the straightforwardness roaminggnome - I wasn't sure if this problem qualified as deseving a reset. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't explain, your response remained undisclosed to me for a while, the next reply after yours took preference and I ended up doing as Meg St.Clair's susgested and initiated download, installation and syncing of Smartsync which is now taking ages to finish... If problem persists shall do the resetting and restoring.

I set up the primary language to English while initializing the MBP, but at the log-in page, the language appears to be a foreign language I don't use, after restart, the language turned into English, has anyone come across the same problem

I set up the primary language to English while initializing the MBP, but at the log-in page, the language appears to be a foreign language I don't use, after restart, the language turned into English, has anyone come across the same problem, and is that normal?

i have a similar problem...It seems to be tied to my guest account. It is set to Japanese as primary language but my main login is set to English. I tried changing the guest account to english but the change won't hold. It always reverts to Japanese.

Dotted lines in Indesign turn into thick bulky lines in PDF (Adobe Reader)

Hi there
Got a situation that is really confusing me, i have dotted lines in indesign that look perfect thin and in a light grey, however when i export this and view it in adobe reader/acrobat or when i upload my pdf online, the lines turn into thick black bulky lines? I have ensured that 'compression for line art and text' is unticked, can anyone help me understand this?
As my pdf is for viewing online I would really want the lines to not ruin the whole page
Many thanks
what line is supposed to look like and and what it looks like in adobe reader/ acrobat

I've been having the same problem.
After seeing Larry's comment it occurred to me that my Mac automatically opens all files that I export to pdf in 'Preview', and this is what I have been using to view the pdfs each time. I deliberately opened the same files using Adobe Reader, and the dots are fine.
So perhaps it's just a problem with 'Preview'? Unfortunately I think my printer is using Preview too, as 2 recent jobs have been printed with those awful clumsy dots

How my Ubuntu/Firefox 3.6.16 turned into Microsoft I.E. with a Virus Warning.

When I was 'Surfing' the Internet, looking for some "Train" Photo Wallpapers, when I clicked on a Photo to view, my Firefox 3.6.16 browser turned into a "Fake" I.E. Browser Page with a Windows "Defender" warning box in the center stating that my system was invaded with a Virus and that I had to click in the "Fix Problem Box" to remove the virus.
Being in Ubuntu/Firefox, nothing I clicked on had any effect.
I pulled my power and rebooted and I was back up and running!
I then installed a anti-virus program which could not find ant problem or Malware.
I am now attempting to find this "Bad" Photo File/Link.
The page that has/had the Bad Link was:

I will keep you posted.

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

Why do my em dashes separate into two en dashes only in digital (ebook) format? How do I stop that?

I work for a publisher and we use InDesign to set up our print files to be uploaded (usually in PDF format).
Then I create a new file for the ebooks, removing extra pages, marking the table of content entries as internal hyperlinks, etc.
Since the Kindle Plug-In is still in beta and cannot, for some unknown reason, recognize a TOC created using hyperlinks (even though that is what the instructions specify), I convert to an ePub, check it, do any revisions necessary, save that as the ePub upload.
Then I convert the ePub to mobi using Calibre.
In both instances, my em dashes separate into two en dashes in the digital versions. I use the InDesign Type drop down to select the em dash and it appears as a single symbol or glyph. The print file looks perfect. It is only when it is converted to a digital format that the em dash splits in justified format.
Do I need to find a special glyph to use that is not contained in my font (Times New Roman)? I really need to fix this! Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing the files. In the document "OutpassageEbookTextcontent.indd", instead of a em dash, two en dashes are used and probably this is the reason you are seeing them in the EPUB. You can use Find/Change dialog to figure out where these are used. I have sent an email listing down few places where these are used as your files might be confidential and I refrained from posting text snippets on the forum. Please take a look and let me know if I haven't understood your problem correctly.
Regards,
