Whenever I open a template document in Microsoft word, it automatically opens in Pages.  THis has happened since I downloaded Mavericks.  How do I get this to stop and allow me to use Microsoft word templates in Miicrosoft word?

Right click on a template and choose Get Info. Find the "Open with" section, and change it to Word. Click Change All if you want all templates to be opened in Word by default.

    WZZZ,
    Thanks, the following command (ran as root) worked for me!
    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app
    Chrome is set to start on launch, so I'd get the following warning on every start/restart

  • HELP!!!  Message - (One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?)  How do I get this to stop?

    I bought a new Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows 8, 64bit, i7 processor.  Everytime I open iTunes and then close out, the following message occurs: (i-tunes message - One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) Then it starts counting down from 20 seconds unless I just click on the (Quit) button.  How do I get this to stop?  Please be specific, I am challenged when it comes down to computers.
    Thank You

    This was extremely annoying for me, also.  I started uninstalling unneeded Sony applications to try to narrow down the problem.  It turned out not to be a Sony application... it is some functionality built into the bluetooth driver software package by Broadcom.  Uninstalling the bluetooth package (via the control panel) takes care of the problem.  Itunes also boots up way quicker.  But uninstalling it will remove features related to bluetooth and nfc.   For me, that isn't an issue, since I don't use them.  Since you said you're "computer challenged" I would probably just send an email to sony complaining about the problem.  They'll get in touch with Broadcom eventually (the manufacture of the drivers) and get the problem fixed.
    Side note: the Broadcom package is huge...  nearly 1GB in size.  Which is crazy.  I can't imagine what it does considering the size of it.  Entire operating systems can take up less storage.  Also, I have no idea how it starts an itunes plugin without placing it into the standard plugin directories.

    Please take these steps if you're prompted for a password when moving items in your home folder to the Trash.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/.Trash
    2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
    4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
    5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
    6. Close the Info window and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • I have been sent a 'word document' in which are a series of boxes about thirty lines long to insure written text. When Pages opens the document it extends these to a whole A4 page how do I get it to retain the original layout

    I have been sent a 'word document' in which are a series of boxes about thirty lines long to insert written text. When Pages opens the document it extends these to a whole A4 page how do I get it to retain the original layout

    You can't change the way Pages import .doc files.
    It was never written that it reproduce exactly the original one.
    From my point of view, as I refuse to give a cent to M...soft, the best way to deal with documents issued by their Office suite is to use the free libreOffice.

  • I installed the latest update, and tried to reply to an email right after. The email looked like a bunch of cymbals, arrows, font names, parts of the email. So I opened it up with Internet Explorer, and all was normal. How do I get this fixed?

    The latest update was the source of the problem. I was replying to emails, and the update popped up. I updated. I continued to reply to emails, and the whole page had arrows, symbols, brackets, font names, red correction lines, etc.
    I opened my emails in Internet Explorer, and everything was normal. How do I fix this?

    I look at it like this, it was a solution to my problem. There is obviously something wrong with the new version. When everyone starts complaining, and some genius figures out the fix, then I will worry about the upgrade. Until then, I am fine with running 4.0. I have to disagree with you though. 6.0 is a downgrade for sure. There is a lot to be desired compared to this version. Who wants price gong, and screwed up emails. Not me. The problem is out there, and now someone needs to work on the bug fixes on this BETA version.

  • I want Apple to know that an App I purchased is a scam. How can I get this through to them?

    I have contacted the iTunes support line but they keep telling me to contact the dveloper of the app.
    The problem I reported on the iTunes "Report a Problem" link is that the app developer in question doesn't exist anymore as far as I can tell. If you search for "Lottosuite - Powerball & Mega Miliions" on the app store and then click on the link for the developer web site it attempts to take you to http://www.lottosuiteapp.com/ which Safari says doesn't exist. If you try to click on the Support link it takes you to http://www.broadbentapps.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi.
    I don't want a refund (it was only 99¢ after all) but I don't want this developer to continue to rake in profits for an app that does not work and has no contact information available to the consumer. Apple states it isn't responsible for the quality of an app but I'm sure they would be upset if they realized they had a scam artist dealing through their App Store. Problem is no one will hear me out. They keep passing the buck and telling me to contact the developer. Duh, that is my problem man.
    I have tried calling Apple but will not pay $29 to report a problem they should take care of themselves.
    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    This has become my mission and I will not rest until this developer becomes responsible for the apps it provides or is removed and blackballed by Apple.
    Frustrated,
    Rick
    PS Thanks in advance for anyone steppoing forward to help.

    If you have a Mac I would recommend that your install Printopia. Here is a link to it:
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
    With Printopia, any printer that you can connect to your Mac will appear on your iPad as long as they are on the same wi-fi network. Try Printopia to see if that border goes away. Good luck!

  • Why does an email that contains a video in WMP etc format and I try to open it on my iPhone coverts it to Quicktime which is not supported. How do I get this to stop?

    All emails that I try to open on my iPhone 4 OS 5 that contains a video which was in windows media player format when sent to my email box will convert the video to Quicktime player when I open the email on my phone- which the iPhone does not reconize. Is there something that can be done to fix this problem?

    WMP is a windows proprietary format.
    It is not supported on iOS devices.
    QuickTime player is built into ios and used for all video playback-nothing is being converted.
    You can try downloading an alternate player that can playback wmp or use a computer.

  • Sometimes Firefox opens with a Google page; how do I get it to stop?

    My Firefox preferences are set for it to open to a blank page. But sometimes (not all the time) it opens to a Google search page. What's worse: I may be in the middle of typing something into the Google search window in the toolbar, but half of what I'm typing ends up in the search window in the Google page. Unlike just about all of the users I have seen in the forums, I would like NOT to go to the Google page, but rather just open to a blank page. How can I do so?

    -> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Exit'''
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down the '''Option''' key while starting your Mozilla application.
    As an alternate method, go to Utilities (in the Applications folder) and open Terminal, then run:
    /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -safe-mode
    -> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear. DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click '''Continue in Safe Mode'''
    Firefox will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> Right-click on '''Tab Strip''' and unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
    -> click '''Firefox''' button, go to '''History Menu''' and click '''Clear Recent History...''' -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> click Firefox button, click Options -> go to General section -> in '''Startup''' section click '''Reset to Default''' button
    -> go to Content section -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Privacy section -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
    -> go to Security section -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries
    -> go to Advanced section -> General -> Remove Checkmark from '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''
    -> go to Advanced section -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
    -> click the Firefox button, click Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons)
    -> click the Firefox button, click Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona)
    -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

  • Recently firefox started opening new tabs when I click on search results how do I get this to stop

    When I use Google and I click on a search result it opens a new tab where it used to just take me to a new page in the tab I was using I was looking in the tabs tab in options and saw I could choose it to open in a new window but I don't see an option to open it in the current tab. This started happening out of nowhere.

    Found a setting in Google that was telling it to open all result in a new Windows which I was guessing that Firefox was overriding and open it in a new tab like settings suggested unchecked the box in Google and now the behavior is back to normal.

  • Whenever I play a song on my music list, it says I'm using 3G, how do I get this off?

    Everytime i play a song on my iPhone, it says i use up some 3G. Why is this happening and how can i stop it?

    As of iOS 6 this feature has been removed. To delete music you must either go to Settings > General > Usage > Music and delete all music, or disable iTM, delete what you want to delete and re-enable it.

  • Every time I open a presentation I saved it adds an indent to the first bullet point on all my slides.  How can I get this to stop?

    This keeps happening and I don't know why

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
