Why does the mouse change the font size on my lap top?

When browsing on my lap top, I mistakenly change the font size with the integrated mouse on the computer. This is not a problem when using the external mouse. I notice that expolorer typically has the screen size displayed in the lower right hand corner. I need to know how to avoid this problem. Thanks!

If you press the Ctrl key while using the mouse wheel then you change the page zoom.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

alsdman,
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

Why does OS X change the permissions without my intervention?

I work on various documents at home, where I have a Mac. and at work where I have a Windows box. In order to do this, I use Google Drive as my cloud storage to save the documents.
Now when I edit a Word doc in MS Word at Work, then save it to the Google Drive, I am able to open it on my Mac in MS Word for Mac, just fine.
However, when I edit the Word doc on my Mac, and save it to Google Drive, the sytem automatically sets the "everyone" permission to "no access". This is incredbily annoying. I have to go and reset the permission everytime to "Read and Write" in order to edit it the next day at work on my Windows bos.
Why does OS X change the permission of the document when I don't want it to! I want the file to ALWAYS be read and write FOR everyone PERIOD. Yet it seems to have a mind of its own and changes it.
How can this be fixed... this doesn't even make sense!

korkyk --
Could it be that it is a function of Google Drive? I share Word docs with Mac & PC Users all the time with no permissions errors or any other problems. My husband and I share docs all the time between PC and Mac. Again no problem. But we do not put Google Drive in the middle.

Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs?

Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs? I have assigned specifit genres but they're constantly changed without me doing it. ITs annoying. Does anyone know how i can stop this?

welcome to the discussions
you may find that WMP is doing this for you.
There is a setting is WMP that means that it checks the info held in the file (and shown by itunes) against that held at Gracenote and 'updates' the info where there is any disagreement. On my copy its under the 'media library' tab.
Turn this off if its on.

Why Does Apple Keep Changing the Charging Protocols?

I bought an iPhone 3G yesterday, and after having a 1st-Gen iPhone for about 5 months, I'd have to say I'm not altogether impressed with the new one. Non-recessed headphone jack, check; faster downloads over 3G, check. The rest of it.. I dunno.
The most irksome detail I've encountered so far is that something has changed in the -- what is it called, the docking mechanism at the bottom of the phone that connects to the dock -- that makes all my previous docks (and I have quite a few around the house) obsolete. Worse, this iPhone will not charge from the adapter I have in my car, the Dension ICE>Link which originally integrated all my iPod controls directly into my car stereo.
When I got my first iPhone back in February, the first thing I noticed was that when I plugged it into an older "universal dock," I'd get an error message, "this accessory is not made to work with iPhone." I managed to work around it. I bought a new dock that is compatible, and I discovered that so long as I was using the iPhone as an iPod in my car, it would charge that way. So I wasn't losing battery charge if I listened to my iPhone/Pod in the car. That was good enough.
Now, with 3G, first, I discover that the Universal dock that I purchased with the old iPhone generates the same stupid 'will not work with iPhone' message that the OLD iPhone generated with an older dock. So this iPhone 3G does not work with a dock that I purchased for the original iPhone, which did not work with the dock I had purchased for my iPods. Sheesh.
But, again, it gets worse: now, when I slip the 3G unit into the cradle/adapter in my car, it will not charge ever, not even when I'm using the iPhone 3G as an iPod. The audio connects, I can still use the iPhone as an iPod and listen to it and control it through the car stereo, but I'm draining the battery when I do.
So, from iPod, to iPhone, to iPhone 3G, it appears to me that Apple has changed something in the protocols for each new generation so that all the docks and accessories from the previous generation are no longer viable. Why are they doing that? What is the UPSIDE of this very obvious and irritating downside, other than the upside for Apple that gets to sell me ever more accessories.
Are other iPhone 3G users encountering irritations like this? What sort of work around are there? Anything?
The GPS and the faster data speeds of 3G are nice features, it's also nice to have a flush headphone mount (I can use this one with a bluetooth stereo headset transmitter). But there are other ways that this unit is just not integrating into the way want to use it, and I may be very tempted to go back to the original iPhone.
Anybody want to chime in with their experience?
Thanks,
--PS

There are two messages you might see. The one you allude to, "will not work with iPhone" is merely a warning that the accessory is not shielded against the electronic emissions of the iPhone, i.e. you may get a little static on the audio. You can ignore that error and use the accessory. The other error is a "will not charge" and that's because the iPhone 3G no longer draws power from the FireWire pins in the dock connector. Apple has been phasing out FW support - the ability to sync via FW was dropeed a couple of years ago. 3rd party manufacturers have known about this for some time, but seemingly chose to maximize profit by not changing their design (especially for car chargers, since the power input is 12 V, which FW can handle, but for USB the voltage must be stepped down to 5 V). There are dongles available to drop the voltage and move the power to the correct pins.

Why does Apple keep changing the interface in iTunes?!

I liked the interface in iTunes 10, but found that I liked the interface in iTunes 11 even better. It seemed that everything was organized a little better. But... now we are back to an interface like we had in iTunes 10. Do the developers think about what they are doing before doing it? or, do they just need something to do so they just change interfaces to keep busy? I just wish they would make up their mind on an interface and let it be. I understand changing an interface if it will make things better. This change doesn't do that. I feel like we have taken a step back. Can someone explain this change to me?

Why Does OS X Change the Display of my Home folder?

Howdy,
I prefer an icon display of my HOME folder with 32x32 bit icons and a fairly tight spacing. I set this using Finder's Show View Options (Cmd-J) menu item. this seems to stick for a while, even through boots, but, at some point, it goes back to 24x24 bit icons with maximum icon spacing. Why won't the OS respect my display options in my own HOME folder?
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz

The .DS_Store file should be owend and accessible by you, but if not for some reason then sudo will be needed. That is why I included it in the command.
The settings in .DS_Store files can be inherited from parent folders as you browse the system, so one option is to remove all of them and have the system recreate them from scratch. There are a number of ways to do this, but an easy one is to use a tool like OnyX. In OnyX, go to the Maintenance > Rebuild section and uncheck everything except "Appearance of folders' content," and then click the Execute button.

Why does FireFox keep changing the window when clicking on another program??

I upgraded to FF 8 recently. When I start it and go to, say, Gmail (in window A) then open another browser window (window B) to go to, say, Facebook, if I click on another program such as Live Messenger or even a reduced window of another program the window in FF always changes. I.E., I look at window A while B is open. I click on the message box from Live and the window changes to B. I click on A to get back to that window then click on the Live box again and B pops back up. I can't get it to stay on A no matter how many times I try.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why does Photoshop randomly change Smart Object sizes when transforming?

This has happened to me forever and every so often I ask to see if there's a solution. It seems like a bug.
Here's the process.
Select smart object (via panel or Move tool)
Free Transform
Select top left anchor (happens with any btw)
Change measurements to desired size.
Apply transformation
Free Transform again
Measurements are different than what was applied!
I've again documented the process and am attaching all the images at the end.
See specs & hardware:
OSX 10.8.5
PS CC 14.2.1 x64
Magic Mouse.
This also happens at home with
OSX 10.9.3
PS CC 14.2.1 x64
Trackpad or USB mouse
Notes:
If rasterized this tends to not happen but that's not a solution because it takes away the advantage of Smart Objects.
Image 6 is the second Free Transform.
Any help is appreciated.

It happens when you have transformed text.
It's a widely discussed bug, that we've acknowledged and are testing a fix for.

Why does jpg export change my document size?

This is a minor annoyance I noticed after I upgraded to CS6.
This is the correct size of my InDesign document...
So why do the dimensions change a fraction of an inch when I export my ID document as a jpg?
(from Photoshop)

Well you can't have half a decimal pixel.
Like - 6685.2 pixels
So it needs to round it somehow.
How is it if you start an InDesign document using Web instead of Print in the File>New Document
Then open that in Photoshop?

In the new iOS-7 Safari, has the "reader" function been changed to eliminate the option to modify font size (and hence to modify the number of words per line), or is it just that I can't find how to do that?

Changing the predefined sap logo and whats the px value for font size

Hi,
I am unable to remove a Sap logo on ajax fwk: masthead . I want to replace my logo with that sap logo .
but when i try to set url to logo to that image .it doesn' change.
Help me to resolve the problem
and whats the px value for font size more than 10

Hi,
The URL to set logo should work when you edit it in the correct theme. Usually cache issues prevent us from seeing the desired result. By Clearing cache your issue should get resolved. Otherwise if need be you can edit the com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead par file and define the manner in which you want your logo to be displayed in the masthead. Download the par file and open it in NWDS. Search for "logo" keyword you will find it. Edit the current image and upload the PAR file again.

Can I change the Screen colour and font size?

Can I change the screen colour and font size?

Yes. Use an iPhone browser, such as iExplorer, to access your iPhone's file system. The screensaver photos are stored here;
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultAnimalPhotos
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultFlowerPhotos
Once you locate these files, you can replace the photos with your own or add more to the folders. Do not change the name of the the folder.

Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

When you open Firefox in Safe Mode, it automatically disables your custom settings, themes, and add-ons. THOSE changes are temporary.
However, if you click any of the boxes underneath the line, "You can make some or all of these changes permanent", and then choose "Make Changes and Restart", everything you checked will be forever changed, even when you start Firefox again in 'normal' mode. [See attached image for a preview of the Safe Mode options].
To be clear:
1. If you check any of the boxes but do NOT select "Make changes and restart", those things will not be changed at all in safe mode.
2. If you select any of the boxes and you DO select "Make changes and restart", you will permanently lose any of the items you checked (bookmarks (except for backups), user preferences, etc.).
If you performed the action in step 2 above, you will only be able to restore those things if you have a previously created back-up of your Mozilla Profiles folder (not the same as the Firefox program folder).
Hope this helps.
