Why is there no progress bar in the iTunes Miniplayer? PLEASE UPDATE THIS! (iTunes 11)

The progress bar show in the iTunes Miniplayer in previous versions was extremely practical and useful instead of having the entire window open or flipping between spaces, especially when multitasking on one space. Please update this ASAP! I have no idea why or how this was avoided!

What makes -- that is, made -- the iTunes MiniPlayer truly useful was having a tiny window that's always visible regardless of the application you're using, that allows you to see and control track progress and volume along with the other key useful info and controls.
Having to open a secondary window -- one that takes up much more screen real estste and doesn't even stay on top, and forces you to click or hover to see the progress bar -- to find one of these missing functions defeats the whole point of the MiniPlayer, which is to be convenient, visible and quick.
Apple, please fix this. Some of the new functions are pretty cool, but you inadvertently killed the MiniPlayer's key functionality in the process.
Thanks!

Where is the EXACT version number shown? Where is the menu link to the Help file? Why is there no scroll bar? The new iTunes is terrible in more ways than I can list... how do I switch back to version 10?

The newest iTunes version has no Help option. Why? And, no ability to find out the version number.
The new iTunes, when in album view in Windows 7, has NO SCROLLBARS, so it is impossible to scroll the albums. Why?
Answer these questions, as I am an AAPL shareholder and I am NOT happy with these and other changes you've made to iTunes.

The newest iTunes version has no Help option. Why? And, no ability to find out the version number.
You may need to bring up your Menu Bar to see the Help menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Once you've got your Help menu showing, go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen, as per the previous versions.

Why is there no Knowledgebase article for the just-released IE11 update KB3025390?

The KB link shown in the Windows Update page for my Windows 7 x64 Enterprise machine does not find a page for that KB article. What exactly are we patching? What is it supposed to fix?

Hello from japan, I've been in trouble, just like you. (jp-Forum)
In my case, Windows 7 + Access VBA + IE11, also an Access Denied in a frame after installing the KB3025390, and it resolved with uninstalling.
I made a reproducible prototype;
[test.vbs]
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Visible = True
objIE.Navigate "(full path)\hello.html"
WScript.Sleep 3000
'******* It works good
objIE.Document.All("btn1").Click
objIE.Navigate "(full path)\frameset.html"
WScript.Sleep 3000
'******* it will fail "Access Denied" after installing the KB3025390
objIE.Document.Frames.Item("frame1").Document.All("btn1").Click
[hello.html]
<html><body>
<input id="btn1" type="button" value="Hello" OnClick="alert('Hello World')">
</body></html>
[frameset.html]
<html><frameset rows="20%,*">
<frame id="frame1" src="hello.html">
<frame id="frame2" src="about:blank">
</frameset></html>
Please help us, thank you.

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

I start the computer, there will be a progress bar in the walk, to go on automatic shutdown. What is the reason? How can I do?

Hold down Command-R to get to Recovery_HD, a special Volume on your Hard drive that has some Utilities and an Installer.
Start Disk Utility.
Select you boot drive and click "Repair Disk".
Post any error messages.

Why is there a scroll bar though I set the background image to "scale to page size"?"

Why is there a scroll bar though I set the background image to "scale to page size"?"

The current build of iTunes may occasionally draw the scroll bar off the edge of the screen. It should be possible to resize the window to reveal the scroll bar.
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar.
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the previous search behaviour.
You can also open the menu bar temporarily by pressing Alt.

The status bar below the Apple logo in Yosemite is not a bug, its a feature. No need for a fix.
The reason why your MB starts slowly shall be answered if we have more info on your MacBook (RAM, version, etc.)

Lock the progress bar in the playbar (Captivate 8)

I'm looking for a way to lock the progress bar in the playbar in Captivate 8. This has come up a few times in regards to older versions of Captivate, but I haven't seen anything for 7 or 8 yet.
I've tried this: Captivate 6 Help me Lock the Progress Bar in the Playbar, which relates to ver 6, but seemed to kinda do what I'm looking for, but not exactly.
However, the Playbar Lock Widget seems to do exactly what I'm looking for (Flash-Factor » Playbar Lock Widget (Cp5, Cp5.5)) but is for 5 and 5.5 only. According to this threadCaptivate 6 playbar lock, the widget doesn't work on 6, so I assume it doesn't work on 7 or 8, either. I've emailed the developer (Whyves) the other day, but considering the last activity on that site was a couple of years ago, I'm not really expecting a response.
Does anyone know if there is an easy-ish way to do this or if there is an updated version of this widget available?
Thanks,
Marc

Lilybiri,
Thank you very much for your response. I realize it was very unlikely that particular widget would be updated, but was hoping someone has since been able to make something like that work in Captivate 8 (or even Cp7).
I am actually working on a project that must be completed in a linear fashion the first time through. It consists of three parts, with each part consisting of a short video presentation followed by a couple of knowledge check/quiz questions. Learners must correctly answer the questions before they can proceed to the next part, and should be able to review the video they just watched (or any previous video) at any time, but they must not be able to skip ahead to the next video until they've correctly answered the KC questions for each part, or to skip the video the first time through.
Enabling remediation helps in that it allows learners to re-watch the video before and even during the knowledge checks without getting 'stuck' on a question they've answered correctly already. However, it seems that forcing a linear flow while still giving learners an idea of their progress through the course via a progress bar without allowing them to use it to skip ahead has proven very difficult to do.
The widget seemed to perfectly fit the bill in that it would disable 'scrubbing' with the progress bar until learners completed the activity. Then, once they've completed it, they could now use the progress bar to review the material again if they wished.
Oh, well... we'll keep digging and hoping that maybe someone out there with more knowledge and skill in this than us figures out a way to make it work.
Thanks again!

How do I shut off the new colored progress bar under the address bar?

In Firefox 7, there is now a small colored "progress bar" under the address url that loads with colored segmentation as a web page loads. While some might consider it helpful, I consider it both distracting and obnoxious. Can someone tell me how to disable this "feature" in about:config? I want to keep the colored granularixation of address sections, but there is no need for that to load as a colored every time a page loads. If I wanted rainbows in my browser, I'd create a Lucky Charms theme. I don't need this, thanks.

I wish this was the case. This is a default action of Firefox 7, not a plugin. While I do want to replace the status bar one day, I have not used StatusBar4Ever to replace the late, lamented status bar as of yet. Unfortunately, this action is tied directly to the new colored segmentated address bar code. In version 5 and 6, he code was "unfinished" (or not fully implemented; take your pick), and as a result this thing never appeared. But in 7, the Firefox term prodly declaimed the feature "functional" and lo and behold, this problem arises! I do appreciate the suggestion, however.

Why is there a black part in the X when I try to delete my app? It's covering up the supposed to be white space around the X button

Help!! Why is there a black part in the X when I try to delete my app? It's covering up the supposed to be white space around the X button

Try:
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Since they all line up on the left site that could be a hardware problem or maybe a software glitch. I have never seen that problem posterd here before

Lock the progress bar in the Adobe Captivate 5.5 playbar.

I recently read some interesting postings from cpguru website. One of them is how to lock the progress bar.
(http://www.cpguru.com/tutorial-lock-the-progress-bar-in-the-adobe-captivate-playbar/)
It says that we can lock the progess bar with simple three lines of AS2 code.
this.stop();
delete _root.cpPbcBar_mc.pbcBar_mc.pbcSlider_mc.onMouseDown;
delete _root._level0.cpPbcBar_mc.pbcBar_mc.pbcSlider_mc.onMouseDown;
I would like to use this code, but my captivate version is 5.5, which means
I do need to have AS3 code. Is there anyone who already figure out how to do it with AS3?
If so, could you give me some guidance.
Sami

Hi Sami,
I am not sure if you would like to hide it or lock it.
I can recommend you to use the a system defined variable and set it to hide the play bar on ceratin slides so it would not appear on those slide.
Thanks!
