Words overlap on websites

On certain web sites the words overlap and can not be read or clicked on. we have a late 2009 imac We Love it!! that's the only problem we have. thanks for any advice joekel

Hi. Safari was driving me nuts on my brand new MacBook Pro and I was having the same problem of messed up/jumbled text on certain web sites. I couldn't even place an order on certain sites like Amazon or make a hotel reservation, for example, because the fill-in boxes had text all over them. I finally called technical support and escalated my call to one of the senior advisers. At last, she came up with a solution. The issue (at least for me) was in Safari preferences. Some of the preferences that I had changed over time were somehow interfering with how certain web sites appeared.
In summary, you have to delete any .plist files which have the word "Safari" in them. For me, these files were:
com.apple.Safari.plist
com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Once I deleted these and rebooted my MacBook Pro, Safari was returned to it's original state as it appeared when I first got the computer (i.e. the "Welcome" screen, etc.). This completedly solved my problem, and now all of my web sites are looking great with no jumbled text.
To find these .plist files, do the following:
1) Open the Finder window
2) Under "Places", click on the house icon (i.e. your hard drive icon)
3) Go to Library ----> Preferences and then expand the list of files that pops up so that you can read them all. Look for anything that has the word Safari in it (i.e. the two files that I mention above). Drag them to the Trash.
4) Close all windows and restart your computer.
5) After the Restart, open Safari. You will be back at the default Safari "Welcome" screen that first appeared when you got your computer. Try navigating to the troublesome web sites. I hope you will find that your problem is solved. It worked for me!

Pages can export to PDF and .doc formats and send those via email, but it has no "upload" function. That is something you normally do with a browser or an ftp app.

Firefox is adding advertising links to certain words on my website cornish-surfing.co.uk, and when I open a new tab an additional window opens with unwanted sites.
1. How can I stop these things from happening?
2. Why is it happening?
These things only happen when I’m using the Firefox browser. I use Sophos antivirus and firewall and the scans indicate my system is clean. So I’m assuming that it’s built into Firefox or there’s a security flaw with Firefox.
Can you let me know which and how I can stop it from happening?
Graham Jappé

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc (certainly nothing that is shipping with a plain official firefox build).
please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Words overlapping in iTunes

I am having a small issues with my iTunes. When I connect my iPod or iPhone and open iTunes, the text seems to overlap on the lines (as if the paragraph spacing is too close). Also most of the words don't finish and look like: iP... instead of iPhone. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks for your help!

The menu containing file, edit view etc only have the top half of the letters showing.
Hmmm. I'm not sure if that's quite the same effect described in the following troubleshooting document, but it seems close enough that we should check:

Missing hyperlinks from MS Word Mac and websites

Dear Adobe users,
I do not have any luck after a few hours' search via google. I tried to create a pdf file from a webpage with hyperlinks.
After some searches, I knew printing as Adobe PDF does not work as it is a print file.
Then I copy the web page in MS Word Mac 2011 and save as pdf. The resulting pdf file is a just a document with blue underlined for those links.
Creating pdf from Adobe XI pro Mac does not work either. It is another file with blue underlined again.
Some said the ribbon helps. This seem meaningless to use as a Mac user.
Is there really no way to create a pdf with hyperlink from website? If you are telling me I'd better live with the Word document, I am speechless.
Thanks.

This is a 15-20 year old defect in Acrobat.
This one of those everyone points to Acrobat and Adobe points to everyone but themselves.
Word URLs Mailto from Office Mac were ignored. you had to add them Manual and even doing so they don't turn blue and underline as they are supposed to. what makes URLs Mailtos work is a unique piece of JavaScript code. unfortunately Adobe doesn't use industry standard JavaScript. Its unique to Adobe only.
I say were ignored Acrobat X and XI have partially addressed this problem. As long as Urls and Mailtos were created by word by Office's Auto correct feature the Following to methods will work
Method #1:
create the Word Document making sure any URLs and Mailto turn blue and become underlined and work.
save as docx document.
Go to File Menu > Print
Click and hold mouse button (touch pad) down on PDF button until context menu appears.
Choose Adobe quality PDF
Follow Directions as they come up (this uses Adobe PDF Generator)
Save PDF.
Open PDF you should be able see and use all Urls and Mailtos created by Words Auto-Correct
Method #2
create the Word Document making sure any URLs and Mailto turn blue and become underlined and work.
save as docx document.
Make sure Acrobat is Quit
Make sure the icon of Acrobat is in the Dock (some what equivalent PC's Startup Menu)
Locate the file just saved
Drag and Drop file on to the Acrobat icon in the Dock
Wait until Acrobat Processes the File.
When PDF shows up save file.
This method works with Smaller Files best. The larger the file the longer it will take to Process, and be more likely to fail.
Neither Method works Urls and Mailtos created with Word's insert URL command.
That will take another 20 years to resolve .
The PDF command in apple's print menu if you just click real fast and Word's SaveAs... PDF uses Apple's PDF engine that will always not be have active links.
Curios thing if you take a Mac Office word file and do nothing to it and open in Word and create a PDF even the links created by the insert URL command will work. So the issue has nothing to do with the way Office Mac Creates file it’s the way Acrobat Mac Processes Word Files.

Today some words on the website are highlighted in blue yellow and pink - awful

I am the administrator for a website and today it started highlighting certain words in pink, yellow and blue. I don't know why it is doing this. I did not change any setting on the website or Mozilla. How do I make the highlights go away?

I discovered it was coming from the words in my latest google search bar. When I deleted all google search words from the bar, the colors disappeared. Google has never done this to me before and I still don't know why it happened - but at least I can make it go away.

Words overlap each other... zoom is already set to default.

majority of websites i visit display overlapping/unorganized text.
zoom is already set to default.

Can't upload word docs to websites

When I go to use Seek or My Career.com, I try to upload my resume and cover letters which are saved on my iPhone.
The problem being that when it comes to attaching a file from my iPhone, the Attach button on the website is faded and wont let me upload anything.
I've tried this on other websites and still the same result- any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. Mine will only let me upload photos.

My lines on most of my websites I need overlap even after I updated to Firefox 8.

November 18, 2011.
I use Humana and CVS drug store on line. When I open the windows the lines and words overlap since I upgraded to
Firefox 8.
When this happens, I have to go IE 8, copy and past the sites so that I can read the page.
[http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/catalog/shop_home.jsp CVS]
With the CVS website, on the older versions of firefox 3,
the entire page would be white, without the red borders.
Then if I wish to look at sales, I cannot read the pages, because all the words are overlapped either by line over line
or horizontally.
[http://www.humana.com/resources/support_center/myhumana_benefits/register/ MyHumana]
The same happens on this web site.
My GMail is fine and iGoogle homepage is good. I have watched the video about the new version. I am not ready for Firefox 8 if I cannot solve this problem.
I do know about the IE Tabs but I am a creature of habit, and prefer to have IE 8 on my desktop. I love Firefox- much faster than IE 8. I do not
BTW, my top line on the webpage now has:
1. File, Edit, View, History,Bookmarks, Tools, Help
2. New Tabs
3. Backspace, forward, home, WOT. Google search box,
Bing
4. My favorite menu bar for my home page, newspaper,
library, weather, and games.
I believe all this carried over from Firefox 3. I was afraid I would lose passwords and bookmarks.
Would it be better to re-download Firefox 7, and have it erase all my information after I print information of things I want to keep especially the passwords.

Why can't I copy and paste from word into websites?

Hi,
I have been accepted as a writer for 3 online publishers, but cannot copy and paste examples of my work from Word into their websites. The clipboard behaviour seems erratic - sometimes I can copy text from websites and paste into Word, sometimes not.
Can somebody help? It is vital that I am able to supply examples of my written work without having to physically re-type everything or send the examples as attachments.
Thanks,
AM

Do you wait until the Copy button turns blue and then does the Paste button turns blue when you paste the text?

My firefox doesn't show some lines, graphics, words

I can't see inside boxes when writing email; boxes don't show up, lines are missing, options for fonts, colors, backgrounds are all blank.
Many words overlap making them difficult to read.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.

* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
See also [[Websites look wrong]]

Firefox opens fine but when going to a site info on the sites overlap keeping me from using properly - why?

Meaning words overlap and even boxes on the side will overlap the center of the site.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.

Question about "words with friends" rules-can more than 1 person play on the same Ipod device?

I have a Ipod touch 5th Generation and I like to play the free game version of "Words with Friends" Can other family members in my house sign up to play on my Ipod using a different user name? I have tried to figure this part out and there's no clue available on the "Words with Friends" website. Thanks for your help again!!! I also have music on my computer that I would like to transfer to the new Ipod. How do I do that? I haven't been able to link it to "Itunes" yet, and then sync it to my Ipod.

Well, E3000 doesn't support any usb port replicator. So, in case if you want to use any hard drive you need to connect it directly to the router.
