Windows 8.1 web pages don't display buttons but they are there and clickable

various buttons like home, search, drop downs do not show. if you hover the mouse where they are supposed to be you can click them and they work. I've had this problem since getting windows 8.1 last year. I have played with the settings and followed many suggestions on various sites for simular problems. I also removed internet explorer. I have aol on here and there no problem with its browser. I get no error messages and firefox seems to work fine other wise.

Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.

*Charms, Settings, Change PC Settings, Ease of access - Select High contrast - ON/OFF
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

  • I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually.

    I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually since I have a iTouch and keep all my music there. HELP!!

    Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
    Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete.

  • Web pages don't display properly

    Some web pages display words running together or overlapping. as if the whole page can't display fully.

    Try making the font smaller in Safari / Preferences - Appearance.
    If that doesn't help you may have duplicate or corrupted fonts.

  • Thumbnails wont display pages in a chapter that I know are there and have pasted in

    Hello everyone.
    I am an author and have previously published two books in the iBookstore using iBooks Author. The third one that I'm attempting to lay out is giving me major problems for some reason. I have a MacBook Air 13 inch Mid 2013 Processor  1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 running Mac OSX 10.9.5 and the latest iBooks Author 2.1.3. My screen window is as large as it can go on my screen, and everything seems to work fine when I select a chapter layout and just drop the text in, but then when I go back and start modifying some of the page layouts by changing say, from a two column text only page to a one column text and half page image, or any of the other options, it works okay for the first couple of times but then I see that the last couple of pages of text in that chapter have been 'pushed' off the end of both the thumbnail pane on the left hand side of the screen, and in the main window itself. I can't get to them because the scroll bars in both the main window and the thumbnail pane are at the ends of their travel and won't let me see any more of the pages that I know must be there, and were there before I started putting images in... I took a screengrab and on the very right hand side of the main window you can just see a portion of the next text page, but I can't scroll on to it or access it in any way, which has brought everything to a grinding halt. Is there a page limit within each chapter that I don't know about? (I currently have about ten pages in this chapter, but that might go up to about 13 if I was able to drop some more images in.) The images are all jpegs, maximum size of around 13 MB, average around 8MB. I noticed that the 'Media' file took a very long while to load images into from IPhoto, and I don't know whether that indicates a problem between iPhoto and iBooks Author or not? I still have my two original iBooks stored in the iBooks Author memory, and wonder if I have somehow exceeded an overall memory size in the app or not? Or is it something much more basic that I'm doing wrong? I've quit the programme several times and rebooted, to no effect. Any ideas or help would be appreciated please. PS I'm not a tech head, so terminal-speak doesn't mean anything to me by the way...!

    Hold everything guys! I think I've solved the problem – by manually adding on extra text pages at the end of the thumbnail pane, it kind of 'catches up' with the rest of the text. I was expecting this to happen automatically, like when you paste in text the first time around, but clearly this doesn't happen and you've got to do it yourself... Note to Apple: a 'flow-on' updating feature for page layout changes would be good to incorporate next time around please.

    10 marks for recognising the Latin (sort of) that is the placeholder text in your template.
    You are using a Word Processing template. WP templates have content flowing from page to page. As one page fills up, a new one is created. If some of that text is deleted or displaced the pages retract.
    When you combine text, invisibles like word spaces, returns, tabs, page breaks etc with objects that have text wrap set, the mix can behave in an apparent odd fashion.
    Start with showing where everything is:
    Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
    Start with getting rid of any excess returns you may have used to "position" things. Next cut and paste objects like textboxes, shapes, charts and tables "Inline" ie in as part of the text. If necessary also turn off text wrap on objects or minimise it so that doesn't push text completely out of the way.
    Insert Section breaks in the Text where you want fixed breaks in the layout these will provide separation between layout on different pages.
    Basically you need to clean up your layout or think about doing it another way.
    If there is a lot of layout, you will need to learn Pages methods for doing this in a WP template or do it in a Layout template where each page is individual and all objects are floating with no default text area.

  • When opening my home page  or safari icons, they open but they are shaded and don't work, it's like they are frozen. I can tap on google and the keyboard come up but it won't search. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Hello,
    I am a new Ipad2 user and have a problem that I'm not sure what to do. When I try to open my homepage I created or the Safari icon, it opens fine, but they don't work. The page is shaded, does not scroll and is locked up. I can tap google and a keyboard come up and I can search but the results are shaded and are frozen(does not scroll). Does anybody know whats going on? I appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Some songs don't show up on iPod, but they are there

    I have an 80GB iPod classic. I have all my songs in iTunes, and I have manually synced them to my iPod. When I view my iPod through iTunes, I can see all the songs and play them. However, when I look on my iPod directly, some songs don't show up when I browse by Artist, Song, etc.
    The only way to play them on my iPod is to add them to a Playlist, and then they are accessible. However, if I want to listen to Eminem, for instance, I want to just browse to it in the Artist area.
    The songs do have all of the appropriate info, and I have tried Restore and still nothing. These songs used to show up on my old, original iPod, so I am for a complete loss. Please help!

    This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

  • Upgrade to Windows Server 2008 installation fails (reports Services to uninstall but they are not installed)

    I am upgrading a Windows Server 2003 to 2008.
    When I run the install it completes the Compability check and reports that Sharepoint Services and WSUS are installed. They are not installed and are not running Services either. I have attempted to remove Registry keys for these but this does not resolve
    my issue.
    Control Panel, Add/Remove does not report these as installed either. 
    How do I get the 2008 install to continue and ignore these OR how do I "truly" get these "uninstalled" if there is nothing I can do to find out what is reporting that they are installed?

    SBS 2003 does contain these feature by default. Is this a small business server OS?  If so I'd try them over here.

  • IPad will display scanned PDFs but they are miscolored and streaked

    I am supporting some judges who use iPads to access scanned documents via email on a regular basis.
    Yesterday, one judge created a ticket claiming that he can still open scanned documents/attachments via iBooks and PDF reader etc...but when he opens them, the documents have horizontal bands of gray and/or colors appearing here and there in the display.
    When he opens the documents on his PC (with Adobe, etc), they display perfectly - none of the errors appear the way they did on the iPad.
    He claims that this feature used to work fine with no problems on his iPad, but "something seemed to change" recently.
    Is anything I can do to help him, or is this a question for the Genius bar?

    This is honestly a WAG but here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Web pages don't display right, and can't open certain links

    Facebook doesn't show images. My ATT Yahoo home page is displayed very large. Firefox Desktop page only displays links on a blank white page. Can't open links on firefox desktop page, google, bing, etc... Firefox help page works fine. HELP!!!

    When I did a Google search for "CSFire 6.0.1" just now, this thread showed up: I see, looking at the "More system details" item next to your original message that you also use CSFire.
    I updated to Firefox 6.0.1 today. Immediately afterwards I began having problems. If I clicked a bookmark, the browser didn't wouldn't navigate to it. Actually, when I opened Firefox, it wouldn't even browse to my homepage.
    After going through and disabling one-at-a-time ALL of my extensions, I've discovered that CSFire is the culprit. When I disable that, everything works again.
    Since - allegedly - nothing's changed in Firefox 6.0.1 bar the certificate revocation, I'm not sure why this should be, but it is nonetheless.
    No idea if this will help you, but I thought I'd put it out there on the offchance. Best of luck!

  • Some web sites not working in FF but they are OK in Safari.

    A couple of times lately I have had web sites not work correctly with Firefox. I need to switch to Safari to complete the tasks I needed to do. My FF is running on Mountain Lion and is up to date.
    Thanks,

  • Single songs don't play even though they are synced and work fine on the computer??

    I only recently discoverd this problem. Single songs that I synced into my iPod 5th gen just wont play (they used to work before) even though when I check on my iTunes they work fine and even after syncing it again and even reseting my iPod it just wont work. All that happens is that I click the play button on the song the cover art with the timeline pops up for a split second as if it is going to play and then it just goes back to the title menu with the songs name, and nothing plays. This only happens with a few songs that used to work fine but from what I've noticed its only from songs that are pulled out of an album and placed alone (as in I only have one song from an album on my iPod) even though other songs that are singles like that work fine. It's very confusing and I have no idea how to fix it, please help. 

    Odds are, the tracks causing the issue are bad. When the ipod tries to play a track that has a problem, it skips to the next track. I realize your track plays in iTunes, but iTunes can play just about anything. Just because something plays in iTunes, does not mean it will play on everything else.
    Your best bet is to re-import the bad tracks or re-sample the ones you have. In iTunes you can do this by highlighting the track causing a problem then selecting create AAC or MP3 version... whatever options you get. Then take that new track and sync it and see if that fixes it.

  • Why buttons are not visible on many web sites? They are there and function properly if I happen to find them, but the problem makes life difficult.

    The problem occurs on many public sites like Finnair, Gites-de-France etc. I can see only white on the screen. Sometimes it is possible to find the button by guessing where it might locate.
