Why is the mainscreen/stage moving all over?

Hello All, it's me Mr. Whinie again with yet anouther "problem"
CP6 Mac when I duplicate an item or save, the "stage" moves to a different part of the open window, many times leaving only a small bit visible and forcing me to reposition it to see the whole screen. WHY?
Now for those of you that have messaged me because I'm "whining too much", I have used Adobe products since 1990 and have used numerous versions of all of their programs including Director and Flash and have been a giving comminuty member helping others for pretty much all of those years.
If you look at my posts the things that I am "whining" about are simple things that should have, IMHO, NEVER made it to a release state. The Groups, constantly expanding in the timeline, the multiple levels of "backgrounds", the seemingly extreme lack of Javascript documentation or even debugging, the inconsistant interface with other Adobe products and now the stage moving all over the place are simply things that should have been addressed.
I have no problem paying for software, but with the new advent of "cheap" software available, when a company like Adobe charges a premium for software, then IMHO it should be EXTREMELY well tested and documented. They should also allow the purchase of a pervious version for at least 6mo. until all the kinks of the new release are worked out by those that want to fight with the newest release.
Any insight on how I can stop the above would be welcome.
Thanx,
Greg

Lieve, do you also use an external mouse? If so, you may want to consider trying to configure the laptop so that the touchpad is disabled when the mouse is present. Many laptops will allow you to do that.

My macbook pro is going crazy, the mouse is moving all over the screen

I seem to have a virus or a hacker, my cursor is moving around voluntarily, the icons are being enlarged, and I cannot control surfing my files, what should I do about it?

Make sure that there is no Bluetooth mouse or keyboard with dying batteries nearby.
You have to take the computer to computer to the computer to have it checked.
Best.

After I download Itunes, when trying to sync Ipod, message says "needs newer version of mobile support, uninstall Itunes, and reinstall Itunes, and the same process starts all over again. why is that?

Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS

My cursor is moving all over the place like someone else is controlling it, it has gone thru my mail and deleted everything. Sometimes it works ok, what should I look at?

My cursor is moving all over the place and it is almost acting like someone else is controlling the track pad. When I was opening and deleting mail this morning and I stopped on an email I wanted to read it went ahead and deleted it and all the others that hadn't been opened yet.What should I look at to fix this problem, I already tookk it to a computer repair that couldn't find a virus of any sort. And, it sometimes works fine.

Have you tried adjusting the tracking and scrolling speeds for the trackpad? You can find that in Sys Preferences.
You may also want to reset the PRAM. To do this shutdown the machine. Hold down with your left hand the option and command keys, power the machine on and immediately with your right hand hold down the P key with your little finger and the R key with your index finger, so you have the option+command keys and the P and R keys held down, wait until you hear the Apple chime twice then release all keys, let the machine boot up. Try this and see if it helps. If you contiune to have this issue I would suggest taking it to the Apple store ASAP and have a Genius remedy this issue. Hope this may help.

Why is the download icon on all the time?

why is the download icon on all the time?

Hello joelblair85! I know how frustrating it can be when you can't match an icon to a specific app! What make & model phone do you have? Which apps do you know of sync on a regular basis?

Why are the duscussion administrators archiving all cd-text conversations?

Looks like they are all archived... Is this to shut us up?
Seeing how long it takes for my posts to be archived!
Windows XP

I would try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Once the phone restarts, see if it is working correctly. It sounds to me like you may have too many text messages in the Messages app. Have you deleted anything from there lately?

I have the "battery guage jumps all over the place" issue, is it 3.0.1?

I have the issue with the battery guage jumping all over (I have been as high as 77% and as low as 42% in the last 15 minutes)
is there a consensus as to if his is a 3.0.1 issue or a hardware issue? The run time still seems ok, but it can be stressfull not knowing if you have 30 minutes of battery or 3 hours, when you are away from a power source. The issue has kept me from using my phone too much lately which certainly limits the usefullness of the phone.
I did not have the issue with 3.0 but also didn't have the issue with 3.0.1 for the firt 3 weeks I had it.
I have fully drained an charged the battery twice in an attempt to recalibrate it, not in anyway effective.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Kalel, I had the same problem with my black 3 GS.
I got it on the day it was launched here in germany. All the time no problems. Updated to 3.0.1 as soon as it was released. No problems for a bunch of weeks.
Then, one day the battery was completely run down over night from 56%.
After a 100% charge I had jumps in the battery status as you reported about it.
I went to a T-Mobile-Store and got a new SIM-Card. Didn´t help. Then I made a restore to new phone. And I didn´t installed the Facebook App again. As this was the only thing I changed before the problem occured; an update of the facebook-App.
Since then I didn´t had the problem. Sometimes the battery goes up for 2-3%. For example I look for new SMS, and it´s 80%. I check again ten minutes later and it´s down to 78%. Then it might be 5 minutes later back to 80%. But that happens only sometimes. Let´s say one or two times a day.
So far the battery-jump-problem seems to be solved in my case. I don´t reach the 300 hours standby as by Apple mentioned. I would be VERY glad to reach 150 hours. But I never reached this times. I don´t know. Perhaps I call the Apple Service and talk to them.

Why is the print area on all envelope templates more than 1/2 an inch from the left side of the envelope.. ? Can this be fixed or changed.. ?

I have pages 09 version 4.1... It is a small aggravation.. The left 3 or 4 characters on the return address would not print until I realized that by clicking on
" View " & " Show Lay-Out " that it was out side the printable range ...

It seems to be a Pages template " Print range " issue.. Both the Epson and the HP printers were doing it and it was today that I realized why.. !!
When I move it to where it will print there is large gap on the left margin of the return address.. Just wondering if anyone else knew about this.. ? My Pages is ' 09 ' version 4.1...

(Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to turn to normal is to close the window and start all over again?

Does the screen go black while you are using the machine? ...or after it has sat idle for a bit?
If it happens while you're using the machine, check to see if a hot corner has been set for sleep. You can do that here: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver and click the button labelled "Hot Corners..." in the lower right.
If it happens after a bit of idle time, that's normal sleep behavior. The delay can be adjusyed here: System Preferences > Energy Saver.
In either case, pressing any key on the keyboard should bring it out of sleep.
Re zooming -
If this happens while in Safari, and you are using an Apple Magic Mouse, a default setting applicable to it is that a soft double-tap on the mouse will zoom the Safari window. A second double-tap will bring it back.
If it is the entire screen that is zooming, Control plus scroll gesture on the mouse will zoom the whole screen. Repeat with the opposite scroll gesture to bring it back.

Why is the ios6 compatible for all the iphones but not all the phones got the all upgrades, for example the panorama camera??

why is the ios6 compatible for all the iphones but not all the phones got the all upgrades, for example the panorama camera?? this is another reason I am starting to dislike apple. An ipod is able to us an upgrade but not all the phones are? makes sense

"why is the ios6 compatible for all the iphones"
Ios 6 is not available for all iphones. Original Iphone and iphone 3 are not supported.
"but not all the phones got the all upgrades, "
This is common for most any device/computer. Not all iphone/computer/device models can handle all of the new features. Like any device, hardware is limited and cannot always support all new features and software.

My phone is acting possessed. It is moving all over the place without anyone touching it.

Look, if you don't define what's wrong (posessed and crazy are not technical terms), then we can't help you.
You need to clearly define the problem, what you've done to troubleshoot, and what happens when you try.
If you can't do that, then just find an Apple Store and take it in so someone can actually see it in action. We are not psychic.

Why does the dock keep moving to my secondary monitor?

I work with a dual monitor set-up. The screen on my 15" powerbook functions as a palette monitor to my larger display. Everything is set up in the system preferences for the dock to be on the larger display. But since I upgraded to Maverick a few days ago, the dock sometimes moves to my palette monitor. I "think" it happens when I've got a few windows open and I'm writing an email to a client and have to pull up information from various files. So I'm moving around on both displays at that point. I also have the radio streaming from the palette monitor.
The first time this happened, I just went into System Preferences and re-selected the main monitor under the display icon and the dock moved back over.
But, then today it moved to my secondary display again and I tried going into SysPref again and doing the same thing, but the dock just stayed on the smaller screen. I gave up and did a restart which reset the dock back to the main monitor.
Clearly this is disruptive to my workflow. How can I lock my dock into place on my main monitor.
Thanks in advance. Sandra

Hey Sandra MacPherson!
Here’s an article for you that may enlighten you about the functionality of the Dock in Mavericks:
OS X: Using multiple displays in Mavericks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5891
Working with the Dock
When the Dock is configured to appear at the bottom of your screen, it's available on whichever screen you’re working on. Just move your pointer to the bottom of either display. When the Dock is configured for the left or right position, it appears on the leftmost or rightmost display edge.
Tip: If you don't see your dock because it's set to hidden or there's a full screen app on the display, move your pointer to the location of the Dock. If the Dock still doesn't appear, swipe your pointer towards the Dock again to unhide it.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

Why is the ipod screen on all the time when plugged in

and conversely, why does the screen only show the time when you are actually walking around playing music?
Is there any way to change that? I want to see what song is playing, not what time it is or whatever that number on the screen means.
thanks
Bob

I don't want it to stay ON, ie lit -- I just want the information on the screen to stay the same, is that so hard? The time is on that screen anyway, why not give us an option to leave it that way? The battery lasts plenty long compared to older ipods.

Using the same navigation bar all over the site

Hi,
I decided to learn web desgin and started to use Dreamweaver.
I do not want to use any server techonogies. ( since I dont know how to use them! )
I want to reuse my navigation panel and logo section - which I call header - on every single page.
I do not want to copy and paste that info in every page since it will take too much time and will be very hard to maintain.
What is the best solution overcome this situtation ?
Thanks !

Using the template function within Dreamweaver is a good way to go if it's a small site - as John mentioned in the earlier post. For larger sites then serverside includes would be more practical and earlier for maintenance purposes.
You create a master template page, you declare which areas will be the same for every page, (non-editable regions) and then declare an area that will
change on every page (the content area) , these are editable regions.
Once you create the template and save it, you are then able to create 'child' pages from this template - as many as you like :-) If you every need to make a change to the menu or the footer or the header, change it in the master template, save it and the changes will flow through to the child pages created from the template.
Using DW Templates:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/templates.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_templates.html
The other option is to use serverside includes (SSI)
A bit more about SSIs here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7b6 ca.html
http://bignosebird.com/ssi.shtml
One major difference between using Templates and SSI?
When you make a change to a template page, you will need to re-upload all the pages to the server that were changed - may become very tedious if it is a very large site.
With using SSI, you make a change to one file and only have to upload the one file and all pages on the server will be update accordingly.
