Why is there a restriction on window size in Pages 5.0? And is there a way to make the window smaller anyway?

I like to work with multiple windows open on the same screen at once. Now the smallest allowed width of the window takes up over half the screen (I have a 13 inch macbook)! This restriction is here whether or not I am zoomed in or out. Can I get aroundt this???

The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.

Is there a way to change the Windows Update service startup type on Windows Server 2012 R2?

We have a number of newly built 2012 R2 servers that we have HP Operations Manager agent running on that monitors the status of several services and reports if they are "stopped". One of these services is Windows Update. Every day we
get at least one alert saying:
"Service "Windows Update" is not started. Current state is stopped"
Checking the event logs shows that the Windows Update service stops, then a while later it just starts again. Not an error, just an information event.
In Windows 2012 R2 the Windows Update service is set to "Automatic (Trigger Start)", where in previous versions we run (2012/2008R2) it would be set to just "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)"
I have come to understand that this behaviour is normal for Windows 2012 R2, and that Trigger Start services by design stop themselves after a period of inactivity. I was unable to find any info on how this works. Our client would like this to
be changed and the Windows Update service stay running all the time, understanding that this impacts performance.
Is there a way to change the Windows Update service in Server 2012 R2 to the old Automatic startup behaviour so that it stays running all the time instead of stopping and starting periodicall? There is no option to do this via the services mmc
gui.
So far I have tried:
Removing the Triggers using the command: sc triggerinfo wuauserv delete
This works temporarily, the service then shows as just Automatic in the services console, however if you restart the server or restart the service it goes right back to being Automatic (Trigger Start).
Any kind of help would be appreciated.

This one might help.

Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page lines?

With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
1
check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit
2
in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.

Is there any way to fix the window screen grab in 10.5?

For whatever reason, the window capture function (CMD-SHIFT-4, then SPACE) in OS X 10.5 now insists on including the shadow of the window being captured. Given how much documentation I write this is a HUGE setback for me; what used to take a few seconds now takes several minutes since I now have to edit every image in Photoshop to remove the shadow, or use CMD-SHIFT-4 without the SPACE and hope my marquee is accurate.
Is there any way to fix this "improvement" (ahem) in 10.5?
<Edited by Moderator>

Here is the problem.
Let's say you have a window that's sized to, say, 400x300, and you want to grab that window. You hit SHIFT-CMD-4, then tap SPACE, then click on the window.
Up until OS X 10.5, you would get an image file on your desktop that, when opened, contained a 400x300 graphic of that window.
Starting with 10.5, when you open that image you get an image that's LARGER than 400x300 and contains the window plus the shadow that OS X puts around it, with transparency.
Yes, they look great when you post them in documents with any color background. But that's only useful if you have an actual design-need for a drop shadow. Believe it or not, there are countless instances where a drop shadow is NOT needed or wanted. This means that I have to edit every file to remove the drop shadow which is a waste of time. Before Apple forced the drop shadow, I had the choice of whether to include a drop shadow or not when I work with the file in InDesign, and the drop shadow would work beautifully in any color background.

Application windows snap to upper left corner and stick there

Since I upgraded to Mavericks I've had an intermittent problem with application windows. If I shrink a window down to the dock sometimes when I being it back to the desktop it goes up to the upper left corner of the screen and sticks there. I can drag it away but when I let it go it snaps back to the corner. I have to close the application and reopen it to get it back to normal.
So far it has only happened with TextEdit and Google Chrome and it only has happened 6 or 7 times in two weeks but since it makes the window unusable I have lost work when it happens.
Has anyone else seen this and is there a fix?

My mail stamp logo shows 7 messages but when I click to read them there is nothing there. It also shows 7 unread messages next to my icloud email address when I open the window. I am an original .mac email account holder now it seems like I have 3 emails an @mac.com, an @me.com and an @icloud.com.
I'm so confused! Is there a way to combined these all into one?

With OS X10.9 the Mail window (after hitting reply or forward) grows ridiculously long, sometimes 4 times the width of the screen and would not allow me to readjust the window size. Any one has the same problem? How shall I go about fixing it? (Thanks)

I'm having the same problem. I've tried going into the Library and deleting the mail plist file(s), which fixes the problem, but only temporarily. Would appreciate any help here too!

Is There a Way to Make the Background App Be Useable?

Hi. Is there a way to make the background useable? For example, you have a fullscreen only app in the background and you want/wanted (which is the correct grammar btw, those who're native speakers and why?) and you have Safari for some tutorial, is there a way to access the background app (for example if it's a drawing app you're learning).
It is possible I guess if the background is/was (which is the correct grammar again btw and why) was resizable.
Thanks in advance.
Gbu.

Another way to be able to get to the tutorial in Safari would be to double-click the titlebar of the drawing app's window. Doing that should minimize it, dropping it into the Dock, thus making the Safari window visible. You can bring the drawing back up and front by clicking its icon in the Dock.
I can see a lot of confusion happening if it were possible to have the top window inactive and one in the back of it active. One would have to be really alert as to which window was the active one, to avoid something happening in the wrong place. I'm glad it doesn't work that way.
As far as the drawing app not behaving in accordance with Apple's guidlines re full-screen windows, well, that's on the publisher of the program. Apple publishes developer guidelines for a reason.

Is there a way to make the icon/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

Is there a way to make the icons/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

If you right-click in the top of title bar of any Finder window there is an option to un-check 'use small icon size', though toggling between the two makes little difference on my screen.
Another trick is you can zoom the whole screen by holding down the 'control' key and using a two-finger swipe up on the trackpad to enlarge, down to go back to normal.

Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?

Hi,
Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?
I've been using Illustrator for some time now and find this part of the software to be annoying as I frequently mis-click this tiny area and the switching between foreground and background colour is easily mismanaged and you end up changing the colour of the one you didn't intend and then have to make two clicks to remedy that.
Do any other users find this to be a badly designed part of the software?
Also, while I'm here I suggest that when in the colour creation dialogue the 'preview' tick can somehow be switched to on as default.
I can understand that there are situations where it might be better not to see your colour change in the document in real time, but to have to click this (again very small) tick box again and again feels like bad design.
^ both the above are frequent tasks for many users
Interested to hear if there's any work arounds to fix this.

Thanks for the tip,
I do use x and shift x and also / to make a no stroke or no fill. But / is a long way across the keyboard. I guess I could reassign that function to a key that's nearer x.
I think the real annoying bit is not only the small size of the two overlapping squares, but the fact that they change size depending on which one is selected. So the button that is not selected is encroached by the one that is selected (and overlaps it). This to me seems counter to interface design - ie, make the switch button smaller. Worse still is the no fill / no stroke button; insanely tiny.
I would gladly redesign this corner of Illustrator for Adobe, and I'm sure quite a few other people would too!

Is there a way to make the video I have added to my TOC larger?

I have added a video to my TOC in Captivate and would like to know if there is a way to make it larger? My goal is to have a talking head video play next to and sync with a powerpoint deck. I am able to get the layout how I want it, however, my video (originally 640x480) is showing up very small. I would like to know if there is a way to make the video appear larger.

Afraid not. The TOC video is very limited in size.

I backed up my ipod during a windows backup. how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

i backed up my ipod during a windows backup. how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

so i plugged in my ipod and it asked if i wanted to backup the files before restoring it.
Do you mean iTunes asked if you wanted to backup files before restoring? If so the it is in the location I posted. You don't need to navigate to the backup. Once your restore your iPod it will ask if you want to restore from a backup and present you with the backups made before hand.
To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
-Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
Or
-Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:
-Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)
-From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.
-Click the Restore Backup button.

Is there a way to make the mouse bigger

Yes. In System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > move the cursor size slider more to the right. The graphics aren't very good the larger the size but a slight increase really helps.

Is there any way to make the cursor appear larger in Mac OS X?

Wow, love my 27" screen, but have trouble finding the cursor! Is there any way to make the cursor appear larger? Perhaps adjustable for fine print capture?
Thanks!

System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Mouse -> Cursor size
However, I prefer using Mouse Locator (free download)

I like this Mouse Locator Graphic

I also enjoy my 27" iMac. It is just so nice withing on it.
