Why is pages scrolling to the top of the page every time I type something?

Every time I type something, or hit any key for that matter, my document scrolls to the top of whichever page I'm working on and I am unable to see what I am typing. It just started doing this last night, so I feel that I must have clicked something. Any suggestions?

You're not current with the OS version and you didn't say which release of Pages you have.  Version 4.0.5 is the latest. See Pages, About Pages.
I'd suggest, in this order:
Close your apps.
Download and Install the 10.6.7 Combo Update
Run Software Update and accept all the revisions for 10.6.7 and Pages
Try again with Pages.
If still having trouble, try in another, new, User Account.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why do i get "please wait while windows configures scan" every time i scan something?

     when I go to scan something I get "please wait while windows configures scan"   

    Thanks Claudio,
    But if I remove Adobe Reader traces, then this means I am removing Adobe Reader XI, right?
    I need Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.x becuase I have its license, and I need its functionality.
    I had to install Adobe Reader XI, becuase I found annoying problem with Chrome browser, everytime I open PDF inside Chrome, I get prompt from Chrome that I must install the latest version of Adobe Reader. This prompt is so annoying to the extent that sometimes the PDF does not open at all, or it will cause unwanted display related resutls.
    Tarek.

  • The rainbow wheel pops up every time I click something and doesn't go away

    Whenever I open indesign I try and click on the design I already have made and the rainbow wheel pops up and never goes away and I can't click on anything else and it never loads so I have to click force quit because it's the only option I can click on. I've force quit and tried to reopen indesign countless times. Help!

    These forums are not Adobe Technical Support. Those who assist here are for the most part end user volunteers who are not Adobe employees. If you need “immediate” response, you need to contact Adobe Technical Support directly, possibly via the “chat” mechanism on Adobe's website.
    You will also need to provide more particulars about which InDesign version, OS platform, etc.

  • Why doesn't Firefox stop scrolling past the top of the page?

    When I scroll to the top of a webpage Firefox will not stop there. I goes past the top of the webpage and shows a white square to the left and a grey bar to the left, then it bounces back down to the top of the page. I want Firefox to just go to the top of the page and stop the way it used to do.

    Hello BK_Malik, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    check if is the Yet Another Smooth Scrolling add-on, just a guess !
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • From time to time Firefox will not allow me to scroll down a web page, when I scroll down it will jump right back to the top of the web page. Any ideas?

    Sometimes when on firefox when I try to scroll down a web page it will immediately jump right back to the top of the web page as soon release the mouse button. When it starts happening it will do this on all open tabs on all web sites.
    Just closing Firefox and reopening it does not help, only way I have found to fix this is to reset my computer.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    *https://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-acceleration/

    You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

  • Is it possible to pin my navigation to the top of the browser until I reach a certain point on the page and then let it continue to scroll normally?

    I'm trying to get my navigation to pin to the top of the browser while other scroll effects are taking place, then when it reaches a certain point on the page, I want the navigation to continue moving up and off the screen to allow for the footer to come in.  Is this possible?

    Merci Éric de me revenir en français, je l'apprécie beaucoup. Je ne veux conserver que le mouvement de haut en bas et de bas en haut. Je ne vois pas l'utilité du mouvement horizontale (gauche-droite, droite-gauche) et pire encore, par mégarde je fais trop souvent bouger ainsi mon texte et cela m'embête, même me dérange  beaucoup. Même que cela me donne même mal au coeur hahahahahaha!
    Par contre, ma souris précédente avait le mouvement de défilement du haut en bas et bas en haut et cela par contre m'est très utile. Je voudrais donc savoir s'il existe un moyen de stopper le mouvement de côté mais conserver tout de même la fonction du mouvement haut-bas et bas-haut avec le simple toucher de la souris. Suis-je plus clair? Disons que c'est plus aisé pour moi en français. merci à toi

  • Extremely slow in every way. Typing, loading, moving and even just scrolling from the top of the page to the bottom. Keeps getting worse. Maddingly frustrating!!! Help!!

    Firefox has gotten extremely slow. Typing, loading, searching, even just scrolling from the top of a page to the bottom. My daughter had the same thing happen to her and had to get her computer stripped down and completely reloaded. I don't have that option. It has no viruses and has been completely freed of all things that could slow it down.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About a month ago. It is getting worse.

    Hmm... try downloading the [http://www.firefox.com latest] version... but if that doesn't work then try [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Not sure what could be causing it...

  • ITunes Store window automatically scrolls back to the top of the page

    Hey gang -
    I have a problem that is really quite funny except for the fact that I am so frustrated I could cry.
    Computer/software: MacBook OSX 10.4.11 with iTunes 7.6
    This just started on my Macbook: I open the iTunes store and when I try to navigate down the page, the second I "let go" of my scroll the window immediately scrolls back to the top of the page. This seems to be happening on all pages in the iTunes store. No other program seems to be affected, neither is my library within iTunes - just the store. This happens when I use the trackpad, the scroll bars and my bluetooth mouse.
    I can't get any iTunes content beyond the height of my Macbook window! It is maddening!
    I have closed and opened iTunes several times and rebooted twice. Any other ideas?
    Thank you!

    Hi There
    I had the same problem and im using iTunes 7.6.1 (9)
    The problem seems to be related to what kind of firewall your behind.
    The network I'm on at the moment is very strict and will not allow anything else than www basicly. So I connected to a different network via VPN and use it as my default gateway. iTunes stops scrolling back after I connect to this network (a restart of iTunes might be needed). And I think this is the only place that iTunes has acted up. Think it works fine at my home lan.
    Hope this helps and that you haven't thrown your mac out the window!

  • How to make a menu at the top of the page move to the left when scrolling?

    I have a menu on the top of the page on a sidebar-sort. I was wondering how you could make it move to the left, not until the scrollbar reaches the end of the page, but when I say so. If i put the key position under the menu, it disappears. If i put it at the top of the page, my only choice is to use the Final motion, but that one moves until the scrollbar ends. So how can I do it?

    Hi Raphael,
    Please refer to this screen shot - http://prntscr.com/42weie
    You need to set the initial motion to zero and specify the key position to the scroll point, where you would like to begin the scrolling from.

  • Every time I edit an album, iTunes scrolls to the top of the page when finished. Is there any way to stop iTunes from scrolling to top whenever I'm done editing?

    I'm trying to consolidate different artists/songs so it's easier to navigate my music. Every time I edit a song or album it scrolls me back to the top of the page... Very irritating, especially when I'm in the letters w, x, y, for example.... Haven't gotten that far yet, but anyway, is there a setting to stop this, for when I do get that far?

  • Every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

    every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. Happens super inconsistently and not on every web page. Tried all the dum dum moves like restarting computer and changing scroll direction in track pad. Anyone else have a similar issue? mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.
