Styles appeared from nowhere

In the interests of reducing distraction, and possibly speeding up Pages, I had eliminated all but the five paragraph styles I was using. But then this morning a whole load of strange ones appeared e.g. 'cc list' 'Heading' 'header and footer'. It's as if Pages has pulled them in form some other template. But how & why?
Any insights?

I cannot identify a specific culprit or template and I am basing my answer on my experience with other word processing programs:
Every WP program I have ever used has a 'default template'. It is the place where your customization is often stored. The programs also come with 'default styles' which cannot be deleted. They are part of the program. Some will prevent you from deleting them, some will let it look like you've deleted them, but will replace them as soon as the program restarts.
I suspect that's what's happened here. If that is the case and they can't be deleted, that's not the way to speed up Pages since they never go away.
Good luck,
Terry

How do I make a picture appear from nowhere?

Hi,
a couple of days ago, I started working on my new web site,
where the banner and the menu should be in flash. Now there's a
little problem: I am a real noob in Flash! And I need your help! So
that's what I want to do: (please look picture
http://vlada.freehostia.com/images/v1_0_0_1.jpg)
1. I would like the logo-picture, and the two Slogans appear
from nowhere (I know, it sounds stupid, but that's what I was told
to do) and
2. add a hover character to my menu (you know, like an
animated line, which underlines the word, when you hover the mouse)
Could anyone please tell me how to do it? What methods should
I use? I would be very grateful for your help :)
Regards,
Alex

template picture

All right, I've figured that one out...
I'm really sorry for being annoying, but I've got one more
noob-question: I've created a text animation for my menu, so when I
add an invisible button, the animation stops working. When I write
the script :
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(button1);
it starts replaying the whole movie but not the menu ...Can
someone tell me what have I done wrong?

Genio appears from nowhere whenever I launch Safari. How do I uninstall. I can't find an uninstall application.

Genio appears from nowhere whenever I launch Safari. How do I uninstall. I can't find an uninstall application. I have manually deleted Genio from Applications, Application Support and Preferences. How do I get it out of my computer?

See this link for removal: http://www.thesafemac.com/art/
When installing apps you get from places like CNET & Softronics they wrap the installer with their adware. You have to manually uncheck NOT to install. I've seen the Genieo as "Install Genieo with a checkbox" in a very small font. See example here:
Beware of adware included in installers
(Fair disclosure: Needhelp4Mac is my site. I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.)
OS X 10.9.3 added Genieo to list of incompatible software. If possible I would upgrade to Mavericks.

HT2500 whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

1. If by flurry of emails you mean they all appear opened as if clicked on.
2. Or do you mean your inbox fills up with a whole lot of 'new' unread emails downloaded from the server, so that if you delete them they return next time you open Mail.
If it is 1. Press (three keys) Option + Command + W
This will close all mail windows including the inbox.
Then press (two keys) Command + 1
to return the inbox.
That should stop any flurry next time you open Mail
If 2., Open Mail Preferences > Accounts (select the account in question if there is more than one), click on Advanced, and where it says remove copy from server after retrieving message, select that choice and click Remove now.

Clips Appear From "Nowhere" After Save

Holy bleedin' crap, I'm about to throw my system down the stairs -- this is driving me NUTS! Here's the deal:
I have hours and hours of raw footage in iMovie. I've gone through each clip and edited-out portions I don't want. I drag my clips tot he timeline to start building the main movie, and after a while, I save.
Then it happens: clips suddenly appear in the Clip Pane -- clips that are old, etc.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!? Is it because I tried to edit clips while they were in the Pane rather than after they were in the Timeline? It's totally screwing up my movie, because I think I'm almost done with a section so I save, and then clips appear from footage that should have been included in an already timeline-added part of the movie.

Is the project saved on an external drive? If so, and if the drive does not use the Mac OS Extended disk format, iMovie can't reliably save to the drive. So when you try to save, nothing works as it should.

Plain text files appeared from nowhere in my finder window

I have a whole bunch of plain text files that have appeared in my finder window when searching in my user profile at the stage where I can view documents, desktop, music etc [sorry not sure what this is called and wanted to make obvious what I'm talking about].
Can anyone help. I have no idea what these files are, but they look empty.
Have I hit a view hidden files button somewhere that I can't find again? Can I just delete them all?
Thanks for the help, this forum has been very useful for a number of things!
Nick

Hi nick,
You have navigated to your home folder. (/Drive/Users/shortname/)
Some programs will automatically save files there. You can delete them if you want but that may destroy settings in the app that put them there. How long was it since you last viewed the visible files in your home directory? Have you installed any new programs since then? What are the names of the files and can you infer from them where they came from? You can always try moving the files to another folder (without deleting them) and then see if you are suddenly missing any settings in a new app or if they are replaced. Might help you figure out who is putting them there.
Hope that helps.
edit: There is no view hidden files button unless you installed a program which specifically makes them viewable, or were playing around in terminal I suppose.

Void(0);.inetloc file appearing from nowhere

The file void(0);.inetloc just appeared on my desktop, and I have no idea what it is. I tried searching finder and nothing came up, even though the file is clearly there on my desktop. I can open it using the app "textwrangler", but nothing else on my computer( I havent tried terminal because Im not familliar with how to use it properly). When i opened it, I found this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>URL</key>
<string>javascript:void(0);</string>
</dict>
</plist>
I entered the url into the safari search bar, and this came up:
<!ENTITY % plistObject "(array | data | date | dict | real | integer | string | true | false )" >
<!ELEMENT plist %plistObject;>
<!ATTLIST plist version CDATA "1.0" >

<!ELEMENT array (%plistObject;)*>
<!ELEMENT dict (key, %plistObject;)*>
<!ELEMENT key (#PCDATA)>

<!ELEMENT string (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT data (#PCDATA)> 
<!ELEMENT date (#PCDATA)> 

<!ELEMENT true EMPTY> 
<!ELEMENT false EMPTY> 
<!ELEMENT real (#PCDATA)> 
<!ELEMENT integer (#PCDATA)> 
Unfortunately, this code is beyond me, but I was hoping someone could make sense of it and why I suddenly found the file on my desktop. Also, is it ok to delete this file?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

A misconfigured web page caused the file to be downloaded. You can delete it.

Green box with registration marks appears from nowhere

...and I'd like to get rid of it, but how and what is it?
In any AICS3 document I open, my default is now an art board that is 200"x200" with a green rectangle about 60"x12" in its center. The green rectangle has registration marks on its corners. Even if I change the size of my art board to something smaller, the green rectangle remains. I've gone through all the preferences and everything in the View menu, but it is not affected by anything. It does not seem to be a template. Can anyone help me: 1. get rid of this annoying (but apparently benign) rectangle and 2. tell me what it is. It does not seem to do anything. Needless to say, it cannot be selected and is not referred to in any of the palettes. Thanks in advance for any help.

Try Object > Unlock All and Object > Crop Area > Release. Also look for a locked layer in the Layers panel.

Spinning wheel and very slow? Appeared from nowhere. Happens across all programs.

Could this be caused by a failing hard drive?
2008 13'" Aluminium MacBook

Yikes, maybe it could. Can you re-start?

Not All Installed Styles Appear In Styles Panel Menu

I have many layer styles installed - over 100. I do this because I like to experiment with a lot of styles during the creative process and prefer to have them quickly available. When I click the panel menu icon in the Styles panel, the list of available styles fills my screen. However, not all of the installed styles appear.
• Is this a bug?
• Is there a technical limit to the number of styles that can be loaded at any one time?
• How does Photoshop decide which styles to show if it doesn't show all installed styles?
• Does where the styles are installed (program presets folder vs. user appdata folders) make a difference?
• Is there any way to scroll the list of styles when there are too many to display in the pop-up window?
The computer I use (a work laptop) is running Photoshop CS 6 and Windows Home Premium x64. It has a 3td gen. Core i7 processor with 8gb of RAM and a dedicated video card. Thanks in advance for any insight/help.

Styles need to be loaded. You can liad tem from the style palette, prom the preset manager or drop saved Photoshop layer style files on to Photoshop. Photoshop does have limits. However I have a few hundreds layer styles loaded and they are all listed in the styles palette.

With that one, first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe Control Panel for Windows, robin. Does that make the error go away?

My desktop files and folders no longer appear on the screen. I think this is a result of an iPhoto updating. It appears (from getting info) that now Desktop is being treated like a normal file for which an application to open it must be supplied. Help?

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.
