Sometimes when I type in Pages, words get crossed out in a weird glitch. It's really annoying. How can I get rid of this?

This is an example of what happens, usually after the text reaches the end of the column and goes to the next line. I was also using bullets when I was typing this.

I suggest using something like OnyX to clear font caches. I had a problem just the other day with weird blue invisibles boxes in all of my Pages documents. I tried manually deleting them but it didn't work until I used OnyX.

  • Can I avoid closing Firefox entirely when "red Xing" a page to get rid of it?

    I'm new to Firefox so bear with me......Whenever I use the red x at the top right-hand corner to get rid of a page that doesn't allow me to go back one page, I get a message from Firefox - "Do you want to close all 4 tabs?"......the only answer is "yes". When I click on "yes", I lose the whole Firefox website and have to open it again to continue. This is very annoying. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.

    Tested on Firefox 25 the latest version it give me the warning of closing multiple tabs with the option of cancelation.
    Maybe something wrong with your preferences check if this working try to reset it or check that similar thread it marked as sloved [[retaining "do you wish to close all tabs" request|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/949202]]

  • When I type in web searches, Firefox remembers them with a system similar to predictive text. How can I erase the search history list, because deleting the history with the organise tool doesn't work. Please help.

    When I type in searches I don't want a box to appear under the search box trying to predict what I'm going to type next. Can I disable the system(prediction box) or erase the history list or both?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no effect, when I right click on the search bar all I get is; select all (which does nothing), add keyword to this search (which is the opposite of what I want) and add dictionary (again adding something). Do you have any other ideas? :)

  • When I minimize mt pages they go to desktop instead of going down to the bottom taskbar,how can i change this?

    I then have to minimize this stupid and possibly the worst version of firefox to get back to my previous programs or pages.This version makes IE shine!

    I had this problem as well. Depending on the OS you are running I had found the easiest way to solve this problem is just to goto a previous restore point on your pc. Hope this solves your problem as it did mine!

  • Sometimes when I type instead of the words on email or web it types the letters in the web browser area

    The problem only started about 2 weeks ago although I have been using Firefox for years.
    It doesn't happen all the time but sometimes when I type the letters do not show up in the email or web pages but show up in the web browser area at the top.

    It may be the problem with your wrists touching the trackpad? If you are using a laptop.

  • The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

  • When I click on Pages, I get a message that says it cannot open due to an error

    I have iWork V9.0.03 and cannot get Pages to open.  I need to update some things on a document and cannot get it to open or get Pages to open.  I reinstalled iWork and even did the most recent update.  Still have issues.
    I really need Pages to get working as this is an important document.

    When all else fails & trying to fix things just seems to make matters worse, it's best to start over.
    I have iWork 9.0.3 on disk. I deleted Pages and the other two programs found on that disk and reloaded iWork.
    I hope you mean you have a CD/DVD from a retail box to install iWork '09 from. We'll start with deleting your current install. Please, don't do this unless you have the CD/DVD to reinstall from. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.
    I'm trying to see if I can find the iWork 9.0.5 updater but It's no where to be found. I found Apple's article about it but there is no link. That's not really a problem since it's the iWork 9.0.4 updater that is needed for Snow Leopard.

  • AFter the latest download, my e-mail service keeps getting a bar at the top "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". I have to keep hitting the "Allow" link? How do I get rid of this?

    Ever since the last update, I'm having problem accessing my e-mail account. I keep getting an annoying bar at the top of the screen "Firebox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to keep hitting the allow button, sometimes twice. And when I do get into the accounts the bar jumps in and out every time I open a new e-mail, or delete and old one.
    How do I get rid of this. I've had this account for years, with a very reputable private e-mail provider. This is nuts.

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • TS1544 I am the administrator of my MacBook Pro, which I share with my kids. One of them forgot his password, so as the admin I changed it for his account, but  when I try to see his account, it says I need to provide the keychain password. How can i get

    I am the administrator of my MacBook Pro, which I share with my kids. One of them forgot his password, so as the admin I changed it for his account, but  when I try to see his account, it says I need to provide the keychain password. How can i get it? I have no idea how to sort this out...

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on
