Is there a way to reduce the size of a palette without dragging from the bottom corner?

My work bought me a huge new Thunderbolt monitor yesterday, so I took advantage of the real estate and expanded my Layers palette to be very tall, and along with several other adjustments, saved this out as a custom workspace. Today though I am working only on a laptop offsite with no Thunderbolt and the bottom of the Layers palette is offscreen where I can't get to it. I know if I change workspaces to one of the Adobe presets it will give me a standard size Layers palette, but if possible I would like to work within my custom workspace and just change the height of the palette.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Did you save your workspace with a name of your choosing?
Look at the Workspace selector at the upper-right. You can instantly change overall layout by choosing different workspaces.
Save the one you have before you lose it (it's under the Window - Workspace menu), then try the different ones.
You could, for example, save two different workspaces, one for the large monitor and one for the little monitor.
For immediate relief, you could choose Essentials and start to customize again.

Your "More System Details" shows an extension named "RightSurf" which based on a Google search is something that most people prefer to remove. In case that is corrupting your display, try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Also, visit the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent additions to the top. Typically this will show a bundle of several different unwanted programs that snuck in with something "free". Remove anything that you don't recognize or don't need.

How do I get the litle Fox logo back-- he's disappeared from the bottom corner of my screen. I could click on it, and get to Personas.

How do I get back the little Fox logo that you can click on to get to Personas? He seems to have disappeared! I've tried the Tools-->Options at the top of the screen, I've tried the Wrench symbo (Toolbar Options), but there seems to be nothing there to get the Fox back. Help!

Nevermind...problem solved!

How can I set the new version of firefox so that things I write in journals and other things are remembered in case I accidentally navigate away from the page?

In Firefov version 3 there is a feature that will remember what I have typed in a journal or note entry before posting it. This is not like an autofill because the test disappears if I navigate too many pages away from it. The usefulness of it was that if I accidentally navigated away from the page before sending my message or posting my journal, I could just press the back button and what I had written previously would still be there. I had to return to version 3.6.19 because version 5 does not seem to have this feature enabled unless you preform a very specific routine. You have to re-enable the ability of firefox to save tabs when exiting. then you have to close down firefox while saving the tab with the page you wish to write a journal on pulled up. Then when you bring firefox back up, you can type on the saved page and if you accidentally navigate away from it, you can hit the back button and it is saved. However, this goes away when you refresh the page or try it on any other page. I would like to know if it would be possible for me to enable this feature on firefox 5, or if I will have to continue using version 3.

Try using this extension. <br />

Is there a way to actaully talk to someone at apple whereby it doesn't cost money? I downloaded an app and now the stupid phone says that there is compass interference and to move away from the interference. Well, I am in the middle of a field. Now what?

Is there actually a way to talk to a service person at Apple where you don't have to shell out money? I downloaded an app that cost $9.99 and when I tried to use it I get a message that says there is compass interference and to move away from the interference or wave the phone in a figure 8 pattern. Well, now I have a sore arm from constant waving out in the middle of a field and it appears that is going to cost $29 to talk to a person. Does anyone have any idea why this is occuring? As a side note, I can use a normal compass with no issues so it is the phone. From a customer perspective, this is poor customer service.

First of all, an idle threat is one that a person has no intention of carrying out. In the past 16 months that I have had this phone I have become less and less satisfied and found that it is like much of today's technology....over rated and under performing. The one thing that I have never been accused of is not wanting, or not giving help but when a company makes itself unavailable to resolve issues and leaves it to forums run by users helping users, it speaks more about the company than anything else they could do. As I said, I do not make idle threats and I did not threaten you in any way. Guess I'll call this topic done with as it is not and was not the intent to get a war started

How do I disconnect or "eject" my Thunderbolt display when I take my MBA away from the desk?

How do I disconnect or "eject" my Thunderbolt display when I take my MBA away from the desk?

Pretty much. You need to eject all external drives that are connected to the TB display from within OS X before you disconnect the TB display otherwise OS X will give you the "drive was not ejected properly" error.
If you just pull out the TB cable it's like disconnecting the drives USB cable direct from the Mac.

I have a mac book air 11". When I boot up connected to the huge Thunderbolt screen it detects the detects the fact and gives me great quality. now I am travelling away from the scree it boots up, nice picture, then switches to rubbish resolution.

I have a Mac Book air 11". Normally at home I connect this to a large Thuderbolt Screen. When booting up it some times gets confused and offers me a low resolution result, but some plugging and unplugging of the screen fixes this. I assume it sometimes "sees" the big screen and sets the resolition accordingly. Sometimes does not. But now... I am away from big screen and cannot get the Macbook air on its one to deliver anything other than really poor resolution. I ahve done displays and chosen all three - but no better. And I have said Choose the Best ONe... again not luck. Any ideas. I read in back posts this was a problem a few years ago.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I believe you have a failing GPU (aka Video Card). Run AHT and see what it tells you. Do not be afraid to run it up to three times in succession if at first it does not detect an error (sometimes errors that are caused by overheating will not show up until the computer is stressed enough - repeating AHT will do that).
As an aside - the MBA was not designed to take the place of a desktop. If you are powering your MBA by leaving it permanently attached to the thunderbolt port on the monitor you are shortening your battery life.

The screen on my Ipod touch came away from the back.

The screen on my ipod touch came away from the back and then stuck back down a couple of days later. The battery seems to be weak now but everything else is OK. What could have caused this? Over chargibg in the car cradle?, Heat? Being held too tightly in the cradle?, Getting water inside?
Has this happend to any of you.

If you have successfully restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I make firefox work wisth a windows xp computer? I don't have an address bar , a backup key. I can get away from the firefox add-on screen. It is basically inoperable

After installing the new version of Firefox on an Windows xp computer I cannot use the internet. There is no address bar for entering a URL, there's not back up arrow, I can't get away from the Firefox add-on screne.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

How do I access my iMac remotely when working away from the office?

I work away from the office for much of the time. How can I access my iMac remotely?

Unless this is critcal for some reason I would not do this. Unless you understand all the techinolticcal pit falls you can leave your computer dangerusly exposed doing this. If you are not technical your best bet is going to be to get a wireless router with built in VPN support ($200 - $500) to give you a secure connection home. And then you will need the Apple Remote Desktop app ($90 I think) and even then it will only work if your work compute is also a Mac. There are probably other comerial apps that will let you remote into your Mac desktop on windows but will probably be in the $200 price range.

My hard drive failed. My applications were on the drive including Excel, Word, and Powerpoint. Apple told me I could pull everything from the failed drive. I tried that but the drive is bad so I can't get to anything. Do you think Apple will reinstall?

My hard drive failed. My applications were on the drive including Excel, Word, and Powerpoint. Apple told me I could pull everything from the failed drive. I tried that but the drive is bad so I can't get to anything. The Office package was installed/included when I purchased the Mac. Does anyone think Apple will provide me with the Office package? Thank you!

Thank you everyone. I apologize to confusing all but I am up to date and running OS X 10.8.2. It's possible I purchased the key for Office but I don't think so although it was 3-4 years ago. I guess I will stop in the Apple Store and just ask. I may just buy the new bundle anyway to get the most updated.
I have read there are issues with the MS Office bundle running on our latest OS, is that true?
Thank you all!!! You've been great!
