Why are windows and desktop on iMac acting wonky?

t's raining out and that may or may not have something to do with the fact that for the first time (after 20 years of owning a Mac), the Document window and Mail window (both which were open at the same time) were doing a jig, moving too the right a little ways, then back again. It made it impossible to delete or move emails. The windows did this completely on their own. This is quite disconcerting.
And, on the same subject, perhaps, for the last few weeks, at times my mouse (corded) is acting as if I'm clicking on the left-hand side so all open windows become small and I have to click on a window to continue working on my document. It does this on its own without me necessarily using the mouse.
And last, but not least, earlier this morning I went to turn off the computer and was about to click on the dialogue box that asks if I want to turn off the computer now or wait 58 seconds, when the desktop turned black, then back to normal, then black and it didn't allow me to click on the blue box. This black and normal switch went on for a minute or two, then the computer turned itself off.

I can't open them without buying software when the same emails on my iPhone have the attachment as a PDF and open? Thanks
Acrobat PDF files open with Preview which is already installed on the Mac.

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Why are PS and SG asking me to choose between purchasing the product or a 30 day trial?

I have the one-year Creative Cloud Subscription and I downloaded several apps like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and SpeedGrade.
However, when I start up Photoshop and SpeedGrade I had to choose between purchasing the product or register for a 30 day trial.
Anybody who knows why?

Thanks a lot! I will give it a try!

ISE 1.3 Why are Windows endpoints defaulting to 802.1x machine authentication in wireless profile and not User or User&Computer

We are running ISE 1.3 tied to AD with WLC 7.6.130.0. Our ISE has a GoDaddy (none wildcard) certificate loaded for https and EAP. We are just running PEAP. We have a mix of IOS, Android, and Windows 7/8 devices. IOS and Android devices can self create a wireless profile and after entering credentials can connect without issue. Our Windows 7/8 devices, when auto creating a wireless profile are selecting 802.1x machine authentication instead of User authentication or the best option which is machine or user authentication. This is problematic as we do allow for machine authentication but have an authorization rule limiting machine auth to domain controller and ISE connectivity only. This is to allow domain Windows 7/8 devices to have domain connectivity prior to user sign-in but force user auth to get true network connectivity. The problem is why are the Windows devices not auto setting to user authentication (as I think they did when we ran ISE1.2), or the best option which is to allow both types of authentication? I have limited authentication protocols to just EAP CHAP and moved the machine auth profile to the bottom of the list. Neither have helped. I also notice that the Windows 7/8 endpoints have to say allow connectivity several times even though we are using a global and should be trusted certificate authority (probably a separate issue).
Thank you for any help or ideas,

When connecting a windows device to the ISE enabled SSID when there is not a saved wireless profile on that machine, it will connect and auto create the profile. In that profile, 802.1x computer authentication option is chosen by windows. That has to be changed to computer or user for the machine to function correctly on the network.
On 1.2, this behavior was different. The Windows device would auto select user authentication by default. At other customer sites, windows devices auto select user authentication. This of course needs to be changed to user or computer in order to support machine auth, but at least the default behavior of user authentication would allow machines to get on the network and functional easily to begin with.

Why are Windows 'APP's so much harder to code than a Windows Forms application?

For example I have been smashing my head against a wall trying to save an image file from a share target, the best help I can find is the below code:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/65a61679-0da8-4109-8a69-b918be351dfa/how-to-save-a-bitmap-image-from-a-share-target?forum=winappswithcsharp&prof=required
But in a 'normal' application I can do what I need to do with:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
namespace Project1
class Class1
static void Main()
Image photo = Image.FromFile("C:\\Temp\\oldphoto.png");
photo.Save("C:\\Temp\\newphoto.png");
Why do the APPs take so much more code to do something like save a file to disk?

It is a good question!
If you need 100 lines of code to save an image it is like a Java program:
- complicated
- not fun to develop with
I think the main problem is that Microsoft release 2 new libraries each year. On the most cases, if you try to compile it with an old library it works, but the app crashes with unexpected errors. It is always harder to develop for Windows and there
are always more libraries to use.
So it begun to be normal, to find a W8-store-app-library and use it in Silverlight, to add missing functionality.
It is a jungle and it seems that Microsoft too doesn't know anymore what library should be in the msdn-help. Some times, if you search for something, you finish on a library that can't be added to your project.
This is the reason, because your question will probably never be answered!

Why are iLife and iWork apps not installed on my Mac?

Recently purchased a used iMac late 2013 model and met the seller at the Apple Store to factory reset the mac. Well that was done succesfully but upon my return home and unboxing the iMac once i logged on and went to look for iMovie app it was nowhere to be found. I looked for the other apps from iLife and iWork and they were nowhere either. I tried the search tool and nothing came up and when I went to search for them in the app store thinking I just had to re-download them they were not FREE for me to install.
Isn't iLife and iWorks included with every mac for free? CAn someone please help me get these if I am entitled to them for free or explain why I have to pay for them? TIA.

They are free for the initial owner and if he accepts them at the app store, then they are permanently tied to his Apple ID and password. Their licenses are not transferable - subsequent owners must purchase the apps if they want them. Here are some excerpts from the licensing agreement:
B. If you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled by Apple on Apple-branded hardware, in order to use
the Apple Software on more than one of the Apple-branded computers you own or control under the
Usage Rules, you must log in to the Mac App Store and associate the Apple Software with your Mac
App Store account. If you choose not to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App
Store account, you are permitted to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single
Apple-branded computer at any one time. Please also note that by choosing to associate the
preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you will also associate any other Apple
software applications that also came preinstalled by Apple on your Apple-branded hardware at the time
of purchase (excluding OS X, Safari, and system applications and tools).
and:
Apple Software obtained from the Mac App Store is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded
hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so.
If the initial owner does NOT associate the software with his app store account (in other words, he does not accept / install them), then he may transfer his license rights to a subsequent buyer.

Why are downloads and all library unlistenable?

Why are all old downloads and new scramboed and unlistenable in library and itunes?

not sure about podcasts. but at least audiobooks have to be .m4b format to be recognized as such.
a very stupid solution would be... take the aac files (convert them, if they are not already), run the "make bookmarkable" script ( http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=makebookmarkable ), delete from the music list but keep files and drag them back in audioboos.
there HAS to be a better way. but at least it works.

Why are Links and forms not working in mobile safari?

Why do links and forms on the site I am designing not work in mobile safari? They work fine in desktop browsers.
The controls change state when focused, so it's not that they're being blocked, they simply don't activate. Behavior tested and observed on iPad running iOS 6.1.2 and iPhone running iOS 7.0.2.
Reference: http://gilli.co/test.html

I had the same problem but I just found a solution. Siri mistakenly suggests to enable reminders (which you should), but the setting that enables all these, is under System Services (on the bottom of the page) -> Location Based Alerts. I had deactivated it alleviate battery problems and had forgotten about it. Hope this helps!

Why are Linux and Windows UI different?

On Windows, appmenu button is orange and it's always at titlebar (saving a good space). On Linux, it appears gray and it's not at titlebar.
Button icons are different also. Why?
I think if there weren't that UI differences, addons should work on all platforms without drastic changes.

@budchekov - You can use "Hide Caption", seach for it here: http://addons.mozilla.org/
@topic
If is impossible to put button and tabs at KDE/Gnome title bar (I think it's possible, because they have successfully put them at Windows XP), they can simulate a title bar like Chromium.
I really don't know why Mozilla is purposely making that differences.

New Mac: Why are CC and Photoshop Elements not working when Lightroom and Reader are fine

Last week I changed computers (swapping an old Mac for a 13-in MacBook Pro Retina running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3. I copied all my data over to the new machine using Migration Assistant.
All programs work fine (including my copy of Lightroom 3 and Reader XI). But my CC and Photoshop Elements 10 do not. I have tried uninstalling both, but whenever I try to reinstall PE10 from its disk or download it just stops almost at the end. I then I get an "initiation failed" message, along with a request to download the now defunct "Support Advisor" app!
I cannot download Adobe Application Manager, or the CC desktop app either - for the former I get an "initiation failed" message, along with the "download Support Advisor" app" message again! For the latter I get a message saying "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." Then I get a message and a link to download Creative Cloud. Then when I've downloaded it and I click on the installer... it runs for a bit and then I get the message again: "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." And I get a prompt and link to download the CC app. Guess what happens next? And so it goes on. And on and on, in a tedious circle.
This is incredibly annoying and frustrating as I have work to do! Anyone have any ideas what's happening?
Cheers

do not use migration to install adobe programs.
you should uninstall and clean whatever you've done, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
then dl the cc desktop app to your new computer and use it to install your adobe cc programs, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
if you have non-subscription adobe programs, use the installation files for them:

Why are system and application sound files appearing in itunes?

Suddenly, over 900 system and application sound files, each about a second or 2 long, have appeared in my iPhone 4S music player. They've also appeared in my iTunes on my desktop iMac. Not sure whether they appeared on the computer first or on the phone first. I can't figure out why they appeared there or how to get rid of them (without also removing them from the system and applications which, of course, I don't want to do).
I searched through the discussions here and found several other people complaining about the same thing, going back a couple of years, but no solutions offered. I hope someone can offer a clue.

Thanks for the suggestions and help. While the cause of this problem is still obscure, we've managed, with an Apple tech's help, to remove the system/application sound files from both the iPhone and iTunes. We used Time Machine to backtrack to the point at which the sound files first appeared in the iTunes folder, then moved back one more day and restored the iTunes Media folder (where all the music was stored) and 2 iTunes files: iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml (we could also have simply restored the entire iTunes folder with the same effect). Then we synced the iPhone.
As for the cause, that's still a puzzle. From Time Machine, we were able to determine that the files were added between midnight and 12:47 AM on a particular day, but that computer was not in use at that time (the user was asleep in bed, and the only other person in the house at the time was me -- and I don't touch that computer).

Why are Loops and Drum Kit greyed out on GarageBand 10?

I've looked and researched every forum and help section on fixing this issue but to no avail, I see some people having success but they seem to have different situations. Unless I'm missing a step or something.
Here is my situation: I have OSX Mavericks installed on my iMac, I re-installed GarageBand from the App Store. I also bought the $5 loop in-app purchase. When I opened GarageBand and signed in, it asked if I wanted to download the loops and drum kits, so I clicked to download rather than cancel, it seemed to be downloading ok and after 2 hours the progress bar was filled up with blue but nothing happened, seemed like the app crashed, so I Force Quit GB. When I re-opened the app, I noticed the loops and drums were still greyed out, then a pop-up came up saying that it was unable to complete download and to check internet connection. When I go to Software Update, there are no updates showing for GB and the purchases tab shows GB installed.
I'd like to get these activated since I made the purchase. If I need to speak to someone directly from Apple, does anyone have a number I can call?
Thanks for any help offered.

If I need to speak to someone directly from Apple, does anyone have a number I can call?
There is a "Contact Us" link directly on this page, in the lower right corner. On the page that will open look for the link "Start your Request Online".
Check the following things:
Do you have enough free disk space? The in-app purchase has 20.1 GB.
Do you have any firewall or antivirus filters active? Disable them, when you try again.
Try the download from an administrator account.
It may also be a problem with your AppleID and Region settings.
Did you buy (or accept) GarageBand 10 on your Mac with the same AppleID you are using to restore the Purchase? Did you buy GarageBand in the same country where you are now?
Check your account settings at the AppleStore page http://store.apple.com/us/account/home
Click the "ViewAccount " link and reenter (not only check) all billing address setting.
And then enable "Express checkout", if it is not enabled.

Why are url and email addresses not fully viewable in a PDF when generated from a Word file?

I have a question?
A colleague in our Copenhagen office wanted to generate a pdf from a Word file. She is working on a Windows 2007 operating system and is running Acrobat Pro 9. When she generated the PDF only part of a url and an email address was visible when the PDF was viewed. She was wofking from Standard settings. I am running the same software on the same Windows platform and using the same computer equipment with the same settings yet I was able to generate a PDF where the full url and email address was visible.
Can anyone out in Adobe Acrobat land provide me with an answer?
Patrick Lennon

That's probably because the Mac people are opening or viewing the PDFs within the Mac's "Mail" program or with the "Preview" program and not with Acrobat.
Since the Windows people aren't using these programs and most likely just Acrobat or Adobe Reader, the layers are kept hidden.
I'm afraid the only way to truly keep those layers hidden is to delete them before saving your file as a PDF. (Of course, do a "Save As" and keep your original .ai file intact.

Why are google and youtube inconsistent with encrypted transmission of pages?

Typically I get the padlock icon when I am on a google or youtube page but sometimes -- particularly recently -- I get the exclamation point with the further message that "the connection to this website is not fully secure because it contains unencrypted elements (such as images)." However, invariably when I refresh the page the padlock icon instead of the exclamation point appears. I don't understand why this happens since nothing otherwise on the page appears to have changed, and yet the refresh switches it from the exclamation point to the padlock icon. I'd appreciate any insight that someone can offer.

Some pages may have rotating ads to insecure pages, so you may get other links if you refresh the page.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) to check if there are (red) lines with [mixed]to see if that helps to identify the mixed content.
