When I select text, system wide, and delete it, why is the succeeding text then selected?
When I select text, system wide, and delete it, why is the succeeding text then selected?
This doesn't happen all the time, but it's happened enough for me to notice it and get super annoyed by it.
Here's an example. If I have the following text:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
And I highlight quick brown and then press delete, I get: (The red shows the selected text)
The fox jumps over the lazy dog.
So when I then start typing, more text is removed than I want. Sometimes this effect carries over, so that the next couple words are selected once I start typing.
It's wonderfully annoying. So I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing such issues or if anyone might have an idea on how to get rid of this problem.
Thanks.
Ooops. I haven't updated my sig in a while. I'm on 10.8.2 and it happens on a late 2008 Alu Macbook.

There is no sound from my Macbook Air even when I turn it on. When I go to System Preferences and click on Output there are no options. The Mute box is also checked, but I cannot uncheck it. Also when I try to play any video from the web, it stops playing after a second or so. I have turned off my computer and turned it on again which did not help.

When i go to System Preferences and choose Desktop & Screensaver the system locks up and will not show any options. All i get is the circle of color and have to do a force quit. Any suggestions?
First follow the instructions in this support article.
If an iPhoto or Aperture library is the source of your desktop pictures, it may need to be rebuilt, or you may need to update the application to the latest version.
Otherwise, continue as below.
Back up all data.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following items to the Desktop, if they exist:
Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the items you moved to the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the items. -
Deactivate "Correct Spelling Automatically" system wide and permanently?
Hi,
as the title says: is there a way to deactivate "Correct Spelling Automatically" system wide and permanently?
I really really don't like it!
Thank you,
CédricThank you so much! It was really driving me crazy since I often switch between different languages and have some text in multiple languages which always caused a total mess and the correct spelling automatically thing would just correct everything wrong.
Thank you! -
Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi or simply solve this, I have tryied shotdown pressing keys like P and R, option, etc. Please help me .
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
I have an icloud account which I can access via the web but when I go to systems preferences and click on the icloud it sends me to the mobileme closed site?? How do I get it to go to my icloud log in?
You're saying that when you click on the iCloud preference pane button it sends you to the defunct MMe
rather than giving you this?
Is your profile up to date, i.e. are your running 10.7.5? Make sure you click on the iCloud button and not the MMe button.

When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
This does not happen in Safari.
(Mac OSX 10.6.4 with Firefox 3.6.6).
== URL of affected sites ==
http://Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

Select an area of sound track and delete it without using the razor?
Is there a way to select an area of sound track and delete it without using the razor please?
Like drag and then cmd-delete or clear or something would seem intuitive?
Thanks Steve z denverSet In and Out Points to define the region, then use the Lift command (Sequence>Lift). Note that the Lift command functions based on track targetting, so if the Video track is also targetted, the content will be removed there, too.

I previously had PS CS5 Trial installed but removed it using both Control Panel Programs and deleting all files from the CS5 directory on Program Files. I then installed a purchased product from Adobe disc using the serial number on the case. But when I try to launch it, I get a screen headed Photoshop CS5 Extended Trial. It asks for the serial number and says that my trial has expired. It rejects the serial number from the Adobe case saying "This Serial Number is not valid for this product". It thinks that I still have the expired Trial Version installed. How do I convince it (the program) that the Trial Version is long gone and the currently installed product was installed with a valid and accepted serial number????
Let me know how it goes. Go into your Adobe account and register your serial number asap.

That way, should you lose it or you need support, it is on record that it's yours and you can fetch your s/n it from anywhere.
There are too may sad stories here, where people forgot and the box is buried or lost.

Can someone help me?How do I take the zoom feature off my MacBook Pro? I have already went to System Preferences and turned "zoom" off in the Universal Access. I saw where someone said to use THREE fingers to double click... ??? Double click what? And 3 fingers?
What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS. -
My apple wireless mouse scrolls in the opposite direction. When I scroll up, down, right and left it always scrolls the opposite direction. Can anyone help?
Hi Malky H.,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your mouse is not scrolling in the direction you are expecting, check this Mouse setting in System Preferences:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
Scroll direction: natural: Select this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
You can find this information here:
OS X Yosemite: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
Note that these steps apply to previous versions of Mac OS X as well.

How to search and delete an email from the mailbox
hi,
have a hybrid scenario, exchange 2013 and office 365
what command should I use to search and delete an email from the organization mailbox i.e. I do not want that email to be in any users inbox.
I have tried this command but it does not work, it says search-mailbox is not recognized as the name of the command let.
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'Subject:"Download this file"' -DeleteContent
kindly assist.
Kind Regards, Khuzema R.Hi Khuzema
This can be accomplished by search-mailbox command
First you need to create a new role group
To Create – New-RoleGroup “Mailbox Import-Export Management” -Roles “Mailbox Import Export”
Then add the user to the group
To Add user – Add-RoleGroupMember “Mailbox Import-Export Management” -Member Administrator
Search the mailbox
get-mailbox -ResultSize unlimited -IgnoreDefaultScope | search-mailbox -SearchQuery ‘Subject:”virus infected”’ -LogOnly -TargetMailbox administrator -TargetFolder filter -LogLevel Full
Now we need to run the below command to search the infected emails and delete all of them in the whole organization
get-mailbox -ResultSize unlimited -IgnoreDefaultScope | search-mailbox -SearchQuery ‘Subject:”virus infected”’ -TargetMailbox administrator -TargetFolder filter -deletecontent -LogLevel Full
Also you can do a message tracking with the subject and delete them
Get-ExchangeServer | where {$_.isHubTransportServer -eq $true -or $_.isMailboxServer -eq $true} | Get-MessageTrackingLog -Messagesubject “Virus Infected” | Select-Object Timestamp,ServerHostname,ClientHostname,Source,EventId,Recipients
| Sort-Object -Property Timestamp
I have written a blog with regards to the same. You can always refer this which might mostly help you in your scenario

Letter-Spacing is different if I open my file at another Mac of us (Value is at both mac 0, but the text is longor), and if I cklick into the text-box, Illustrator says that the file was made in an other Version of Illustrator. We have on all macs the same system, os 10.8.3, cs6 and UTC4. And of course we`re using exactly the same font....
