Toolbar installed that has caused a blank strip across the top of my facebook page which i cannot click on

I accidentally installed a toolbar i do not want. i think i successfully uninstalled it, but after it was installed, when i go into the facebook app, there is a strip across the top of the facebook page on which i cannot click on to . this strip includes my spot on which i click on to my wall or homepage in facebook. if i move the page down far enough, i can click on other things, but never can i get far enough down to click on these tabs. this only happens in firefox, which i prefer wayyy over google chrome for gaming. do i need to delete firefox and reinstall? please help!

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

I downloaded the new 5, and that has caused my tools etc. along the top to disappear. I need to delete the persona, but it says to go to tools and change it, but there is NO tools anymore.

I need to remove persona to hopefully be able to get my edit, tools, printing, etc back across the top.
The info says to go to tools and make thge change, but there is no longer tools, so how can I do this?

Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines. I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail. It used to print fine until recently. Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.

White infomation strips across the top

White infomation strips across the top of the screen . . . I edited my clips in Final Cut . . . Made a Quick Time Movie and imported into iMovie to set the chapter markers for sharing with iDVD . . . Now when I play the clip the program inserts this white line at the top telling me where every Trasition, Cut . . . etc was made in FC and I can't find where to turn this line off so I can go to iDVD . . . Help!!!!!

Quit iMovie.
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash.
The files are located here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist
Then do the same for Quicktime:
Quit QuickTime.
Locate a file named com.apple.quicktime.plist and get rid of it. QuickTime will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash
The files are located here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.QuickTime.plist
Once that is done, (and this is most important) run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder. The re-boot.

Why in the world would Apple make the track pad LESS useful in OS Lion? I hate that I can't g back to the top of a web page with a singe swipe. And of course all the other gestures are totally reversed. IMHO, this was not an imporvement.

No one here works for Apple.
Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom, and uncheck Scroll direction: Natural.

HT1688 My iphone has several messages very tiny across the top of the screen. Has anyone else ever seen this?

My iphone has several tiny messages across the top of the screen & will only show the screen with the apple in the center. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi jarakay,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone may be in recovery mode. If you have not already, try resetting the device:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the phone does not start normally after a reset, use the steps in this article to restore it:

There is a white stripe across the top of the browser window which covers the top of the sceen. I cannot see the navigation or menu options, how can I fix?

There is a white stripe about 3/4 of an inch tall across the top of the window. I cannot grab the menu bar, or see the menu or navigation window, or the search bar. When I click on the white strip, it goes through to the desktop like the top of the program does not exist.
I've never seen this issue before.

A screenshot may help

Shiner, I had very strange things happen in a 6.0.3 project which I thought was due to the upgrade. Every title was rendered over a black background and an exported QT movie was rendered with an 'emboss' effect even though I had not set these options.
I moved the preferences (plist in user/libray/preferences) for iMovie to the desktop, still had the problems with the existing project but not new projects.
I redid the project from scratch with the 'clean' prefernces and it no longer had the strange behavior.

It looks like the CD is damaged. You could try copying the entire CD on to your hard disk in a temporary folder and then launch the setup.exe file by double clicking on it.
Can you do this? Please post back.
Whether 5 can run in Windows 7 is something I don't know. You just have to try it.

I've done something that has caused my desktop to be stretched. I have to move it constantly to see all the edges.

A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

My MacBook Pro has been having difficulties at startup. It sometimes locks and doesn't get past the white screen. It has also locked up several times and gotten a green stripes across the entire screen. What is causing this and how do I fix it?

You don't, take it to Apple for repair.
This might interest you if it's too old to fix.

I had a box on the top of the browser that has written, you got mail. The problem is it keeps repeating you got mail. I don't want to hear it.

This is an unsolicited ad for "winning" an I phone. I am very tired of winning all this junk. I certainly do not want ads talking to me now.

This appears above the page, in the toolbar area? That's probably caused by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or remove).
Often 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.
Does that get rid of the ad?
Two other things:
(1) You may want to check the Windows Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, for any undisclosed bundle items. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group by date so they are easier to spot. Remove whatever looks suspicious or unnecessary.
(2) You may want to supplement your regular security software with some of the scanning/cleaning programs listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

This latest version of Firefox is complete pants! Why can I no longer have a nice, tidy little row of icons across the top so that I click and find things at an instance like I could with the Google Toolbar?

This latest version of Firefox is complete pants! Why can I no longer have a nice, tidy little row of icons across the top so that I can click and find things at an instance, like I could with the Google Toolbar?
Example:- I've just spent 20 minutes looking how to 'translate' after I installed that add-on, there it was! A tiny little icon in the bottom right of the screen, I find the new set up very messy and very hard to navigate. Why can't I have the same set up on my toolbar that I've had for the last ten years? It's that bad that I'm even considering going back to I.E.

Thanks but you're only telling me stuff I already know, that dosen't explain how I get the new version of Firefox to look neat and tidy like it always used to. I can no longer have all my icons that I use, I can no longer access things as easily as I could and the whole thing looks very bare and basic now! A bigger mess than even Google Chrome.
I've spent most of this evening trying to get stuff back that is now lost because of this 'upgrade' and I'm now giving up with it. Well done! You've totally ruined what was the best browser for years.
