New version of Thunderbird has limited the size of the drop-down that shows my open emails. How do I change it back to show all open ones?

There is an icon in the upper right corner that, when clicked on, drops down a list of open emails (i.e. a list of tabs). In the previous version of Thunderbird it would expand (vertically) to list all emails. However now it is a set vertical size and this is terrible and basically defeats the purpose. The purpose of that drop down was so that I did not have to scroll through all my open tabs to find an email. Now I have to do that again, as it is a set vertical size with arrows up and down to scroll through the list. How do I get the old functionality back, or solve my problem of somehow seeing a list of all open tabs? Thanks!

Is there a setting in about:config that controls the length of the alltabs list? I would look for such a thing, and change the setting if it is there. A setting of -1 should make it limitless.

Changing the size of a drop down list

Hi Everyone,
Is there anyway to change the size of a drop down list? For example, our customer would like to make the drop down list for the Ship-To field on the logistics tab of the sales orders longer. Currently, they cannot see the full name when they scroll through it. Is this possible? Depending on what Customer Code they enter, the field size appears to change.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I am using Tahoma size 10 as well.
Is the drop down size somehow related to the size of the first few records? So, if those are shorter than those at the end, perhaps it doesn't adjust for the size of the bottom records. For example, in our customer's database here's a sampling of what they have entered and the order:
Wal-Mart 6124
Wal-Mart 6125
Wal-Mart 6126
Wal-Mart 7001
Wal-Mart Supercenter 1111
Wal-Mart Supercenter 2094
Wal-Mart Supercenter 3475
The drop down box is large enough to see the Wal-Mart 6124, etc. but not large enough to see the Wal-Mart Supercenter ones at the bottom of the list (keep in mind there are over 100 ship-to's for this Business Parnter). Does it maybe only look at the first fifty records or something like that?
Thanks again,
Amanda

My iPad 2 screen has turned a weird colour. The background is black and the letters are white instead of the other way round and colour photos look like negatives. How do I change it back.

My IPad screen has turned a weird colour, the background is white and the letters white instead of the other way round. Colour photos look like negatives. How can I turn it back to a white background.

Dear Steve,
You are wonderful! You are the best! I'm Stephania and I recently purchased a refurbished ipad2. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and updating & fixing it so my liking. The only thing that I couldn't correct were the photos that looked like negatives. Every photo, even on the internet, on apps, everywhere! I just couldn't figure out how to fix it. I contacted Apple Care and its too difficult to get in touch with them. I had looked through support before but didn't put in the right question. Well, today I got lucky. I did the two things you suggested and turning the "White On Black" off did the trick. I'm so happy! I had a feeling it was something simple and this is not even in the manual!

How to auto adjust the size of a drop-down

I used to have a table inserted in all of my drop-downs and then I had all of my text and images inside of this table. The table would automatically resize based on the width of the largest image in that drop-down. The text would adjust accordingly as well. Unfortunately, I have to remove the table from all of my drop-downs because Adobe has not fixed the bug that I reported in RoboHelp 8. If I have a bulleted or numbered-list in a table that is in a drop-down then when I generate to Word RoboHelp adds an extra bullet before and/or after the drop-down. Since they did not fix this in RoboHelp 9 either, I'm having to remove all of my tables in my drop-downs. Peter Grainge gave me some changes for my style sheet to make a border appear in my drop-downs so that I don't have to use the table for this part anymore. The only problem is that when I generate WebHelp the border is staying a defined width and the text is staying within that width, but the image is much larger. This is a problem in IE and Firefox. Is there a way to get my border in my drop-downs to resize to the size of my image, just as I got the tables to do? I would just set my table size to 95%, and that did the trick. I do not know how to do this with the style sheet for a drop-down.
Here is the text Peter gave me for my style sheet back in December of 2010:
DIV.droptext {
font-size: 10pt;
border-left-style: Solid;
border-right-style: Solid;
border-top-style: Solid;
border-bottom-style: Solid;
border-left-color: #656598;
border-right-color: #656598;
border-top-color: #656598;
border-bottom-color: #656598;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
border-left-width: 2px;
border-right-width: 2px;
border-top-width: 2px;
border-bottom-width: 2px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;

Hi,
Try to add "display: inline" to the css:
div.droptext {
    font-size: 10pt;
    border: 2px solid #656598;
    padding: 10px;
    display: inline;
This will force the dropdown to render as a 'normal' text element instead of a block.
Greet,
Willam

Usually, Firefox closes when closing the last tab on it. Now it doesn't. How do I change it back to closing when the last tab is closed?

I've checked my about:config settings beforehand since I hear the setting for this is usually in there. It's still the same and hasn't been changed. As far as I know, I haven't downloaded any add-ons recently that would cause this change. None have been installed recently. Here's a screenshot of the about:config.

Did you try Safe Mode?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Yesterday I download Firefox 4. When I tried to open it I got message that Firefox was "working offline" How can I change this back to on-line when I can't get any farther? All other programs work fine, I just cannot access the internet.

Computer is a desktop running Windows Vista. IE will not open either saying "there is a problem and shutting down". My laptop with Firefox 3.6 works fine.

The new version of itunes has conflited with my cd/dvd drive

It seems that the new version of Itunes has conflicted with my CD/DVD drive because when I uninstalled and re installed the itunes my drive has stopped working and I now have an error code of 19 - Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) I have tried to update drivers but I am up to date, I have installed and re installed my drive this did not solve the problem. I am now at a loss as to what to do I have had a live chat with microsoft and they could not reslove it all they wanted to do was sell me another service!!! Could installing an older version of itunes solve this issue?

In the new version of Thunderbird it seems impossible to set that attachments are shown as"Read only". It was possible in previous versions. Can anybody help?

In previous version of Thunderbird it was possible to set that incoming attachments are shown as "Read only". The solution was to set browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit as TRUE. In the latest version, no matter how I set this value,. the attachments ARE NOT shown as Read Only. As I need my attachments to be shown as Read Only, I had to restore older versions of Thunderbird. Does anybody have an idea how I can solve this in the new version of Thunderbird ?

I have just dowloaded iTunes new version 10.4 (on Windows), and I can't paste artwork from Word anymore, only directly from the net (where the size or the quality are not always optimal). Any way around this?

It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. What can I do?

My home was recently burgularized and my Intel MacBook Pro was stolen I had a backup but my other computer is a G5 PowerPC running 10.5.8 and I am getting the following error:
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
Obviously I cannot install a newer version of iPhoto on my G5 so what recourse do I have to get my images back?
Help

You have two options:
Run the Library on a machine that has the same version as the machine that was stolen.
or
Recover the files from this library and start over from scratch.
To recover the files:
Go to your Pictures Folder (or whereever you have the back up) and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Your originals are in the Masters folder.
Note this will only recover your photos as imported from you camera.

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago which I modified on 11/4/13 and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed. Any suggestions?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2
