Why are hyphens so high in the word?

I am puzzled by the position of hyphens in my text. I am using Garamond Pro, size 13 and it looks strange. Doesn't seem to really change using a different font like Times. Is there a way to control the positioning of the hyphen? I am thinking not but might as well ask.
Thanks,
Richard

Why does my iphone 4s repeat the words I text?

Why does my iphone 4s repeat the words I text?

It was when I was typing the text. I found the answer in the "More Like This" area on the side. I swear my phone changes settings by itself! :-) Thanks!!!

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

it's meant to work like that
so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

Why are my videos not playing the right way up

Why are my videos not playing the right way up

I took four video clips while on a trip this week. Two are oriented the right way (playing wide on the device and imported correctly). The other two are Tall and not oriented right. Orientation is 90 degrees to the right. I don't know why this is happening on occasions. Even some pictures I took did the same **** thing. It's weird. And I can't figure it out. The camera is held the way I want the pictures and videos to be recorded and played but something internal is turning these videos and pictures 90 degrees clockwise.

Why are there lines going across the screen?

Why are there lines going across the screen?

It may (likely) be a video card issue. There is a "known issue" with certain iMacs made in a certain timeframe (2011-12 I think), and one of the telltale symptoms is vertical lines showing up on your display. Go to Apple's website (https://getsupport.apple.com/) to find out how to get support, then either call their service line (they usually pick right up) or take it into your nearest store's Genius Bar. They'll first check if your iMac's serial number is on the list of vulnerable machines, and then they'll have to do a diagnostic to prove that's the problem -- if your serial number's on the list and it fails the diagnostic, they'll replace the video card for free, even if you're not covered by AppleCare (and if you are, it's free regardless).
My iMac just had this problem, there were lines sometimes and just weird display issues other times. Eventually it just grayed out altogether and I couldn't use it. So it's likely your display problems will worsen if you don't get it looked at.
It took them about a week to ship the new video card over, install it, and return the iMac to me.
Good luck!

HT4041 Why pages don't give me the word option?

Why pages don't give me the word option?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Why are photos again available on the fotostream even that I have deleted them?

Hi,
why are photos again available on the Fotostream, even that I have deleted them with using an iphone?

Hi Ghallsa,
I don't know why you believe that emails would be using 6go if you deleted them all. I think you concluded this from the available space left and what you know is using space. You have to understand that what is taking storage space is not only apps, music and emails. There is also the iOS which is taking space as well as a lot of data cached on your devices that will usually be shown as 'Other' category if you are to look at your space usage from iTunes.
If the total 'Other' space appears excessive, I suggest you should 'restore' your device (after a full recent backup); this sometimes helps to remove any data left behind. But before this, try a look at Settings->General->Usage->Manage Storage. This will list apps from the most space consuming to the less. It could also help you to identify which apps may take to much of your precious space not only by apps size but also from the data the apps had stored.
good luck,

Why are hyphens between numbers displayed as en dashes?

Try this. Type a few numbers, then a hyphen, then another number. Now look what happens to the hyphen. It looks like an en dash, doesn't it? (If you don't know what an en dash is, type Option-hyphen.) The weird thing is that the character isn't replaced; it's just displayed differently. If you copy the text and paste it into a different program, you get the characters as they were actually entered (unless that program is TextEdit, which has the same problem).
Why does it do this? Does Apple think we're too stupid to type Option-hyphen when we want an en dash? Are they assuming it's always incorrect to place a hyphen between two numbers? I can think of a lot of cases where it's not: nine-digit ZIP codes, telephone numbers and credit card numbers, to name a few. How can I get it to display a hyphen when I enter a hyphen?

I've observed the same behavior with all of the fonts you list. The differences between hyphen and n-dash in Sand, Techno, and Textile are subtle. (It helps to increase the font size to 40 or so). The differences in Helvetica are not subtle.
I have two versions of Helvetica on my computer: 3.5a3 and 5.0d8e2, in :System Folder:Fonts: and :System:Library:Fonts: respectively. That is, the older version is in my System 9 folder.
The problem happens with the older versions of the fonts. If I make sure that the newer ones are active in Font Book, the problem doesn't happen. Sand, Techno, and Textile are also old fonts in my System 9 folder.
I'm guessing that this problem was fixed in updated fonts, in some MacOS X update, but that Sand, Techno, and Textile have never been touched. The CY versions of fonts were most likely based on the older fonts, and not updated when their counterparts were.
So, you can probably fix the problem with Helvetica and Courier, by making sure that the old versions are disabled or deleted. As for the rest, you could report them to Apple, but I don't think that Sand, Techno, and Textile have shipped any time recently. The Cyrillic fonts deserve to be fixed, though.
As for a workaround: you could try using a non-breaking hyphen (U2011), or inserting a narrow no-break space (U202F) after the hyphen. Some of these fonts don't have the non-breaking hyphen, so it just gets substituted and looks bad.

If i am the only user and owner of my macbook, then why are there 78 users in the directory editor?

Hi guys just wanted to know little bit about the open directory as my MacBook Pro has been playing up on and off at least a couple of years. I have been advised by Apple over the phone or as well as over the genius bar in trying to get my mac to behave. This normally solves whatever problem that has been happening at the time. "Great, job done!"... Not so much, as another problem eventually shows it's ugly pixelated face again and then we end up going round the Infinite loop ride one more time... And this ride ain't always free! I have forked out about £600 on it so far and it wasn't cheap in the beginning! Anyway I have just got off the ride and before I get punched by a plyst to get back on I would rather learn about the things I don't understand so hopefully I can resolve the matter without hair loss. So my main question so far is why are there 78 user names (most of which are computer related names, not all) are found in Directory Utility? I do not play games on my Mac it is mainly used for media such as iPhoto, iTunes, pages, mail and surfing the net. So which out these 78 users do I select as a server?
If you have any suggestions or pointers then please post a reply.
Thanks for reading
Orion

So which out these 78 users do I select as a server?
None. It's normal. Make no modifications.
It's not clear what trouble you are experiencing, or if anything is wrong at all. If your Mac is not behaving as you expect it should, describe what's wrong in as much detail as possible.
Include all relevant details regarding your MacBook Pro starting with which one of its three dozen models you have. Posting the results of EtreCheck will help with that. Read about it here.

My pc has a virus I just downloaded song from pc to kids ipods now both ipods are not working correctly could the virus be in the ipods, if not why are both not working doing the same thing right after unplugging from pc.

Can an ipod get a virus from a pc that has a virus. After connecting two different ipods to my pc to download music they both are not working correctly, could the virus have transferred to the ipod, if not why would both ipods not work and be doing the same thing? When trying to click on a game it just stays on the main screen.

- I have not heard of a virus that can cause problem with an iDvice that has not been jailbroken.
- Try resetting the iPods. nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Do you hve problems with one game? The same game on both iPods?
Other apps?

Why are my files copying to the desktop when I am only trying to move them?

This is the wierdest thing. I have been a Mac user for 20 years and never saw this and can't seem to solve. My drive was bloated to capacity so I backed up, erased the drive and reinstalled Tiger and and my programs, transferred all my data and booted up.
My main files are in two folders on the root drive, each time I try to take a file or folder out and place it on the desktop, the mac copys it to the desktop instead of just moving it.
Like I said I have been using my mac the same way for years moving files between folders and the desktop constantly and I have never encountered this. The only way I have ever copyed files to the desktop is by holding the option key when dragging.
I only have one user installed. So I am cluless why it is doing this.
Soemone please help.

This looks like a case of incorrectly set file permissions. Holding down option in this case should move instead of copy, but it may prompt you for a password. For ideas on fixing up your permissions refer to these articles:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh669.html
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106712
Also note that copy is the default action when dragging between mounted volumes, partitions, disk images, etc.

Why are not all photos in the "Photos" app not showing on the camera roll?

On my iPad 2 (using iOS 7.1.2) there are 1,279 photos in the Photos application. The camera roll contains 77 photos. The About section in the Settings indicate I have 1,421 photos. Why is there this discrepancy in numbers? How can I move all 1,279 photos from the Photos application to a USB flash drive?

You cannot.
You have sync'd 1202 photos (1279-77) from your computer using iTunes to your iPhone.
You have 77 photos on you iPhone you have taken with the iPhone and have not sync'd to your computer and deleted from the Camera Roll.
You should regularly sync all photos in the Camera Roll to your computer and delete them from the Camera Roll on the iPhone.
-> iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
After you do this, you can sync whatever photos you want, back to your iPhone using iTunes. (These are the photos NOT in the Camera Roll).
-> iTunes: Syncing photos
After all this, you can copy photos from your computer to a USB flash drive.

Why are there 2 folders created - the photo library and the synced folder

Why are there 2 folders created on the iPhone during a sync? The photo library and the synced folder both show up.

Thanks for your help mate
This is what I've got, should I modify it?
Thanks again BDAqua,
