Why doesn't my lyrics come up on the screen when a song is playing?

Before I updated my iPad to iOS5, the lyrics would automatically come up when a song is playing in album cover view. Now nothing. Even after I erase the lyrics and retype them in iTunes it still doesn't work. Is there something that I'm missing? Please help.

I just did some poking around on other Apple forums here and found a recommendation for an app which actually does take the embedded lyrics from iTunes and display them on the iPad. It's been around since November, so I don't know why I never saw it before. I'm posting the information about it on several threads so that others are aware of it. It's called Lyrics View and it works well. The only quibbles I have with it are that it doesn't display the title, which the Music app used to do automatically, and when you switch out of the current song it takes you to Songs rather than Artists or Albums, so you have to change to Artists if you want to hear someone else.
It also displays the lyrics with the first lines all the way at the top of the screen, so they are sometimes hard to see behind the progress indicator, but you can make the indicator disappear with a click.
At least there's a workaround until Apple fixes this, assuming that they do.

Why doesn't my iTunes Radio give me the option to customize stations using "play more like this" and "never play this" in the star menu?

You can only "play more like this" on your custom stations. The pre-programmed ones cannot be altered, at least to my understanding

Why doesn't my print-out look like the screen view?

This happens every time I use Firefox.
Whenever I try to print a listing from Ebay, the main picture is omitted from the print-out. Here is an example. This first link is to a screen-shot (Fn and PrtSc) of a typical listing on Ebay:
http://s1176.photobucket.com/albums/x327/xvqgp/Firefox
On the PhotoBucket page look for the image FirefoxScreen.jpg
There's a big picture of the item at the left-hand side of the page.
Now take a look at what I get when I use the Firefox 'Print' command (this is a scan of the printed page):
On the same PhotoBucket page look for FirefoxPrint.jpg
There's a big blank space where the main image should be!
I have not been idle and have checked a few things before posting this question:
1) I have attended to the print settings as highlighted in the helpful Firefox article on printer troubleshoting. It has not cured the problem.
2) From the same article I have tried the 'Print' function on Internet Explorer. While it pains me to say this, I get the correct printing from Internet Explorer.
3) Operating Firefox in 'Safe Mode' has not removed the problem.
4) Operating in 'Normal' mode but with add-ons disabled has not removed the problem.
5) When I hover the mouse over the main image on the Ebay page I get
javascript:;
in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. Might this be a clue or is it a red-herring?
I would be most grateful for help.

Have you tried using the '''Print''' item at the bottom if that eBay page? <br />
Or is that what you are using?
Overall it isn't unusual for "print" to be a bit different than what shows on the "screen", that page may use @media for "screen" and for "print". The '''Print''' item on that page could be the difference, or the web browser might be following that code is you used the '''Print ''menu item or button''''' in Firefox. <br />
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html#media-types
Typically, the '''@print''' CSS code is used to hide navigation menu's ''(can't "navigate" to a different web page from a sheet of paper)'' and maybe advertisements ''(can't "click" on an ad that is on paper)'' from being printed out so that only the text of an article is printed to paper.
Basically, it's probably not a fault with Firefox, but rather Firefox following the commands on the page put there by the person who authored that page, or a standard CSS "style sheet" used by eBay.

Why doesn't my magazine come out in reader spreads when I export it to PDF?

I have:
Mac OSX 10.6.8, Quark Xpress 8.5, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
The magazine is indivual pages, set up in readers spreads. I click export to PDF, makes a postscript file, then into distiller. PDF comes out in single page only. When I check two page, it doesn't recognize the pages that go together.
I used to be able to do this easily. Now I can't. What is wrong?

That would be a QuarkXPress question, not an Acrobat question. The way XPress creates the PDF determines single page vs. spreads.
If there is an XPress forum you should ask there, not here.

Someone before you must have done it. Connect your iPod touch with your computer. In iTunes, under Devices, select your iPod touch, click Restore button and set up your device. Everything should get back to normal.

Why can't my pics match color of the screen when printed?

Hi there.... Please help me with my frustation. I am using LR 2.6 and printing on a HP Photosmart B8550 on a MacBook laptop. I can't get the colors on the printer to match the screen. I have tried several profiles in the Color Management section of the Print Module (including Manage by Printer). The prints are all darker and not as vivid as the monitor shows. Although the levels in the histogram are OK, in order to get 'decent' color prints I have to increase the levels distorting the screen image.

so I have to assume its a basic flaw with lightroom
Actually it is certainly possible to print correctly with Lightroom. Almost all printers will just work. If they don't, you are either not setting up the driver right with the correct settings for ink density and paper type and/or are not using the correct color profile, or you have a really badly written driver for your printer that does not conform to standards. You can hack your way around the latter if you know what you are doing and get reasonable prints, but a new printer might simply be in order. In its quest for the best print quality and 64-bit compatibility with the latest Apple and MS operating systems, the Lightroom folks had to dump some of the old ways of doing things. The same thing happened with PS CS4. This unfortunately leaves some older and consumer oriented printers at the wayside.
Now all this is excacerbated by some bugs in the printing systems of both Apple's OS and Microsoft's, where printer drivers will often simply refuse to give up color managing prints, resulting in dark weird colors. I doubt this is your problem though as it mostly manifests itself when you are using your own printer profiles for different papers instead of the standard ones.

Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com. You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

Maunally restore it. In order to do this:
-Download the iOS 5.1.1 firmware from here http://www.redmondpie.com/download-5.1.1-ios-for-iphone-4s-4-3gs-ipad-ipod-touch -direct-official-links/
1. After downloading the firmware from the given link, open iTunes and click on your device.
2. Now press SHIFT on your keyboard and while pressing it click on "Restore".
3. A dialog box will appear.
4. Select the firmware you downloaded and click ok.
5. Done!!! Your iPhone will now be restored to 5.1.1 and if you had backed up your iPod before, then you can put all its settings afterwards.

Why doesn't copy and past style copy the borders?

Why doesn't copy and past style copy the borders? For some reason it copies the style of the characters or numbers themselves but not any border formatting. Why is this?

Alasdair,
It would be speculation to try to guess what is going on with borders when using Copy Style and Paste Style, unless you know more about what is going on than I do. Sometimes border style is Copied and Pasted, sometimes it isn't. Based on my observations, it depends on the pattern of borders. I suppose that there could be an assignment of a shared border to one cell and not to the adjacent cell, so when copying the style you may or may not capture the border style based on which cell was selected during the Copy. I don't think it is possible to Copy/Paste a Style pattern, and I can't say why.
I find that it's most efficient to create a table with the desired pattern of border styles and to Copy data and Paste and Match Style into the table. I suppose that you have noticed that when you Copy an entire table, you capture the Style of that table. So, copy the Styled table and then paste the data into it.
