When I use page setup, it shows metric dimensions, i would prefer imperial. Where do I change that preference?

I went to preferences/language & text/formats and changed it from US to metric. Then went back and changed it again to US. It seems to be correct now with US settings ( inches).

When I use the printer icon in Firefox, it is preset to 10 copies. How can I change this to only one copy by default. Thanks for any information

When I use the printer icon, in the upper left corner, it is automatically preset to 10 copies. I only want one copy by default. I can change it to one, but when re-opened, it is back to 10.

Number of copies to be printed isn't a setting that Firefox is supposed to be saving, and I have never seen a preference for that in the hidden Firefox prefs panel - about:config.
Try the '''''reset''''' described here and reset all the prefs for that printer: <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer <br />Make sure to restart Firefox before seeing if doing this '''reset''' fixed your problem.
If that did fix your problem, please click the '''Solved It''' button next to the answer that answered or solved your Firefox support issue, '''''it appears when you are logged in''''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved''' to help other users who may have this same problem.
If that didn't solve your problem and it still defaults to printing 10 copies of everything thru Firefox, please open '''Help > Troubleshooting Information...''' and use the '''Copy All to Clipboard''' button and then paste that information into the '''''Post a Reply''''' box here.
It is going to be a real long list, but all I really need to see is the ''' print.''' preferences, so you could paste '''All''' that information into a text program like WordPad first, edit out the information that I don't need to see, and then '''copy''' the remaining information and '''paste''' only that information in to the '''''Reply''''' box here.
I wonder if there might be a pref that I have never seen, but I truly doubt it. That "number of copies to be printed" has never been "stuck" for me on any program in Windows, on any PC I have ever used, with any printer / print drivers.
The only time I have ever seen a "print dialog box" default to more than 1 copy was with a work application where the program being used was set to force 2 copies of some specific forms to print 2 copies all the time - one to be given to the "customer" at the end of the job for their records of the service call and one for the "employee" to get a signature upon completion of the job, to fax into the home office for job documentation as completed successfully and for payroll purposes so they would get paid for that service call.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

As long as you are buying content for yourself (you can't use your balance to gift content) then your account's balance should be used up first before any remainder is charged to your card.

Hi Tom
On my machine it seems that the fi ligature doesn't exist with Times New Roman (installed version is 5.01.3x)
It's available in Warnock Pro but the st one which is designed in Warnock doesn't apply.

Turns out I had to 'unhide' purchases. I unhid before but FCP X still didn't show up. I had to sign out then sign back in for some reason. Afterwhich I had to unhide from the iCloud box within the App Store. Worked.

Hello, I'm using Mountain Lion and mail does not leave the mails on the server, either on iCloud nor on other suppliers (orange). They are both using iMap protocol... Any place where I could change this ? Thanks for any hall; Christian

Under what circumstances does mail "not leave the mails on the server"?
If you mean that you delete them (or move them out of the inbox) on one device and then find them not in the inbox on the server when you look from another device, that's how IMAP is supposed to work. (Note that the deletion or moving might be the result of rules you have set up in Mail.)
If you mean something else, please explain your issue in more detail.

When scaling in page setup, 1st page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly/too large for the paper, parts of the text missing

When trying to print in Firefox, and when scaling the page size in page setup, the first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly and are too large for the paper, with parts of the text are being cut off at the top and right. This is not fixed by checking or un-checking the "ignore scaling/shrink to fit page width" in the print window, or by changing the scaling%.
I am running Firefox 15.0.1, on Mac OS 10.5.8.
The same problem happens in the print preview and if I save the print as a .pdf
I have tried all the fixes in the how to's and others in various forums with no improvement.
This happens every time I try to print a document scaled up or down only in Firefox.

The 2nd page print scaling error has been an issue with Firefox on the Mac since 2011. People at Mozilla have not considered this a major problem. Try printing anything at less than 100% and you'll quickly see how every page after the first page being scaled wrong gets old real fast. The lack of a solution to this issue forced me long ago into using Safari as my primary browser. Good luck waiting until version 21 for a solution. Current release is 18.0.2.

When I use page setup, it shows metric dimensions (centimeters), I would prefer imperials (inches). Where do I change this in preferences?
