I have had elements 10 for a long time but recently the scroll bar for the fonts has disappeared. any ideas?
First try resetting the tool by clicking the tiny arrow at the far left end of the options bar and choosing reset tool.
But you should be able to use the arrow keys to navigate through the fonts, too. -
Recently updated Pages because of Mavericks update, quickly discovered how limited new version is, exported altered files back to Pages 09 format and re-opened using earlier Pages. In amending to re-save as templates again noticed a 212kb file has bloated to 5.9mb.
Has anyone any ideas or experience as it will not take long to fill up a 1TB drive at this rate! - I had left behind PC's and MS Office and was reasobaly happy using Pages for business, but it looks like Office for Mac is now going to b eneeded.Yes, I opened them all with 5 then re-saved as v5 templates. Then realised other problems with v5 so exported them all back v09 as xxx.pages files. Used some with v09 and noticed they had all increased.
I just checked again and noticed that the initial v5 saved templates had typically increased from 412kb to 1.1MB (they do have 4 graphics) - then after exporting the templates are 5.9MB in v09 an dthe files are still 412kb.
I had a similar problem many years ago using RTF files with Word and they kept bloating everytime you edited and saved due to saved or linked graphics? -
Hi,
I can't seem to install iOS 6 update, it keeps saying an error occurred. I deleted lots off my phone and I now have 3.5GB available but it still won't update to iOS 6. Any ideas why?
Thanks9.2.3 is not compatible with Mavericks. You'll need to go to the App Store and download the iPhyoto 9.5 version. It will be free. Move your current iPhoto version to the Trash bin and try the App Store again.

HT4623 my volume control button on my music disappears - any ideas why?
My volume control button on my music disappears and therefore so does my tone when I get message or calls. Any ideas why?
Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.
Relaunch the App and try again.
Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem. -
Since the last update to Firefox, I have had crashes non stop about every ten minutes or so, with very typical use. The update SUCKS and is crashing computers. I am SURE I am not the only one. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP. I have been a Firefox user forever, but now going to Chrome and Explorer until I hear from you about fixing this issue. Never before have I had this problem with Firefox. Bums me out. But I can't deal with the constant crashes and it is ABSOLUTELY since the last update a day or two ago.
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you. -
TS4083 All my email on the cloud has disappeared - any ideas.
All my email seems to have disappeared. I'd previously moved from me to the cloud early july and all was ok. It was also working this morning - then all they disappeared. Any ideas?
If you are using apple mail or Outlook 2007/2010 and migrated your settings from an older OS, It might be the smtp settings. Try recrating the account in apple mail using your @me.com email address for the login ID. (recomended instructions are at http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ )
If you are not using apple mail, outlook try using the following article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
If you are now get new mail but your old mail has disapeared there is a known issue
"iCloud: Mail & Notes

A small number of users may currently be unable to access older email messages. Sending and receiving new messages is unaffected. Access to older messages affected by this issue will be restored ASAP." -
I'm getting the following error when trying to enable disk de-duplication on a volume on my Windows 2012 R2 file server. The error is:
"There was an error updating Data Deduplication on volume: MSFT_DedupVolume.Volume='\\?\Volume{8dfc4322-9997-11e3-93f5-005056a84b9b}\' - HRESULT 0x8056530b, The specified volume type is not supported. Deduplication is supported on fixed, write-enabled
NTFS data volumes and CSV backed by NTFS data volumes."
The volume in question is a 1TB VMFS volume mounted to the virtual machine that is the Windows file server. I could find no info anywhere that references this error as it relates to a standard mounted volume or VMware or VMFS.
Any ideas on what could be the problem or how to fix it? I could find nothing in the log files other than an entry which is basically a repeat of the error above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. This is a volume that was previously mounted on an older Windows 2003 server. Not sure if that may make a difference.have you compared this issue to the ones that are successful and compared what is different?
Have you made sure of the following:
Servers
See the following list for server requirements for deduplication:
• Server hardware should meet the minimum requirements for running Windows Server 2012. The deduplication feature was designed to support minimal configurations such as a single processor system with 4 GB of RAM and one SATA hard disk drive.
• If you plan to support deduplication on multiple volumes on the same server, you need to plan an appropriately size for the system to ensure that it can process the data. The general rule is that the server needs 1 CPU-core and 350 MB of free memory to run a deduplication job on a single volume, and that job can process about 100 GB per hour or around 2 TB per day. Deduplication scales with additional CPU core processors and available memory to enable parallel processing of multiple volumes.
For example: If you have a server with 16 CPU core processors and 16 GB of memory, deduplication uses 25% of the system memory in the default Background Processing mode, and in this case, that would be 4 GB. If you divide by 350 MB, you can calculate that the server could process about 11 volumes at a time. If you add 8 GB of memory, the system could process 17 volumes at a time. If you set an optimization job to run in Throughput mode, the system will use up to 50% of the system’s memory for the optimization job.
• Data Deduplication supports up to 90 volumes at a time; however, deduplication can simultaneously process one volume per physical CPU core processor plus one. Hyper-threading does not impact this because only physical core processors can be used to process a volume. A system with 16 CPU core processors and 90 volumes will process 17 volumes at a time until all 90 volumes are done, if there is sufficient memory.
• Virtual server instances should follow the same guidance as physical hardware regarding server resources.
Volumes
Volumes that are candidates for deduplication must conform to the following requirements:
• Must not be a system or boot volume. Deduplication is not supported on operating system volumes.
• Can be partitioned as a master boot record (MBR) or a GUID Partition Table (GPT), and must be formatted using the NTFS file system.
• Can reside on shared storage, such as storage that uses a Fibre Channel or an SAS array, or when an iSCSI SAN and Windows Failover Clustering is fully supported.
• Do not rely on Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs). You can access data if a deduplication-enabled volume is converted to a CSV, but you cannot continue to process files for deduplication.
• Do not rely on the Microsoft Resilient File System (ReFS).
• Can’t be larger than 64 TB in size.
• Must be exposed to the operating system as non-removable drives. Remotely-mapped drives are not supported.
Note
Files with extended attributes, encrypted files, files smaller than 32 KB, and reparse point files are not processed by deduplication. -

Facebook doesn't work in Firefox 15. Any idea why?
The Facebook login page comes up momentarily, and then is quickly succeeded by an error message:
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.ja!/chrome/browser/content/browser/undefinedcheck6only.facebook.comajax/v6.php?v=check6only&pingonly=false.
Others are having similar problems. Pretty disastrous for Firefox's reputation, I fear.Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
You can check for problems with the preferences and if necessary delete the prefs.js file and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs.

How do I update to ios7 if my iPad isn't giving me the option?!?
If it's a first generation iPad, it can't be updated past 5.1.1. Otherwise, check again when Apple's servers aren't as busy.

Has anybody any idea, why my jpeg-picture upoaded to Photo Stream does not appear on my iPhone S4 like all the other pictures before?
Ok, it's a 4 year old picture, but taken with a digital camera as jpeg...! This cannot be the problem really, but I'm despaired after trying since days...! Thank you all for any hint you've got for me!If you asking me, I would suggest to additonally use a second storage service which also allows you to store your pictures over the 30 days period. I personally use Dropbox with automatic upload for that (https://db.tt/cMEgDUFZ), but there are also other storage services like Flickr for example.

Directly after an update, Firefox will no longer start. It begins to load my homepage, then fades away with the Windows message "Firefox has stopped working"
Looking at Norton security history, I see it blocked plugin-container.exe about the time the update was being downloaded.I don't know if this is exactly the same problem, but here's what happened to me:
One day when I opened Firefox I got a prompt for updates. I got upgraded to version 3.6.16. That was over a week ago. This morning, I opened Firefox, got a prompt for updates, clicked ok, and I ended up upgrading again to 3.6.16. Norton gave me a notification about some file being used by fewer than 100 people and having "medium risk", but I wasn't able to take any action, just read.
Once that upgrade went through every time I tried to open Firefox, it'd pop up, I'd click no to "Do you want Firefox to be your default browser" and then it'd go white and freeze up. I'd get a message from Windows that there's a problem, Firefox has stopped working, it will be closed. No information was sent regarding the problem.
When I'd open Firefox I'd see two tabs: one about the upgrade to 3.16.6 along with an invitation to upgrade to version 4, and another being my homepage to yahoo.com.
I also have Internet Explorer, so I opened that, went to Firefox's website and downloaded version 4. So far that has taken care of the problem~I can use Firefox again.
However, I did have a couple small difficulties while downloading version 4. Right off it would not immediately start running. That was blocked by my Norton. So I had to click on "click here". Also during the process I got a message about two add-ons being incompatible, so they were disabled, and no updates could be found. They were: Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1. and Norton Toolbar 4.6.
I worried it was a virus but it seems like more of a compatibility problem involving maybe Norton? I have the 2010 version and haven't upgraded to Norton 2011 yet.
Anyway, like I said, so far version 4 is working fine, but I thought I'd pass on the incident. -
