Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

Nichelle,
You must add your own background object, and then make it Black.
Insert > Shape > Rectangle
In the Wrap Inspector, set to Floating.
In the Graphic Inspector, set Stroke to None and set Fill to Black.
Grab the corners of the document and stretch the document to cover the entire page.
Back in the Wrap Inspector select "In Background".
Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.

I don't know what else to say about this. It is a screen that comes up in its own window everytime I open Firefox

I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?

Take a look at the FileSelector
First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

Any idea on how to change this application to an applet!!!!

Hi i was just wondering if it is possible to change this simple application into a applet. It is for my coursework. I have done what they have asked me to but i want to go one step further.
This applet is like a television, it has the same functions as a tv
package television;
/*class to model a Television*/
class Television {
 final int BBC1 = 1, BBC2 = 2, ITV = 3, CH4 = 4, CH5 = 5;
 /*declare constants*/
 int currentChannel;
 boolean powerOn;
 int[] channelSelect = new int[6];
 /* declare variables*/
 void tvOn() {
 if (powerOn) {
 System.out.println("The television is already on");
 } else {
 powerOn = true;
 System.out.println("The TV's power is" + powerOn);
 System.out.println("Current channel is BBC 1");
 currentChannel = BBC1;
 void tvOff() {
 if (!powerOn) {
 System.out.println("The television is already off");
 } else {
 powerOn = false;
 System.out.println("The Tv's power is" + powerOn);
 void channelSelect(int selectedChannel)
 if (selectedChannel == currentChannel) {
 System.out.println(selectedChannel + "Already selected");
 } else if (selectedChannel < BBC1) {
 System.out.println("No channel found");
 } else if (selectedChannel > CH5) {
 System.out.println("No channel found");
 } else {
 currentChannel = selectedChannel;
 System.out.println("Current channel is" + currentChannel);
 switch (currentChannel) {
 case 1:
 System.out.println(" BBC 1 " + channelSelect[BBC1]);
 break;
 case 2:
 System.out.println(" BBC 2 " + channelSelect[BBC2]);
 break;
 case 3:
 System.out.println(" ITV " + channelSelect[ITV]);
 break;
 case 4:
 System.out.println(" CHANNEL 4 " + channelSelect[CH4]);
 break;
 case 5:
 System.out.println(" CH5 " + channelSelect[CH5]);
 break;
This is to run television
/*class to instantiate a program for a TV set*/
package television;
import java.io.*;
class TVSet implements Serializable {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 Television myTV = new Television();
 /*create an instance of class Television*/
 myTV.powerOn = false;
 myTV.currentChannel = 1;
 /*initialise variables*/
 System.out.println("Turning the TV on");
 myTV.tvOn();
 myTV.channelSelect(3);
 myTV.channelSelect(2);
 myTV.channelSelect(4);
 myTV.channelSelect(5);
 myTV.channelSelect(1);
 System.out.println("Turning the TV off");
 myTV.tvOff();
 }This is what i have already done for my applet. It displays "The current channel is" and then it displays the channel 1, 2 , 3 etc in a sequence.
package television;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class ChannelTheridge extends java.applet.Applet implements Runnable {
 Font f = new Font("Courier", Font.BOLD, 24);
 String stringName = "The current channel is:";
 Thread runner;
 int channelSelect;
 public void start() {
 if (runner == null) {
 runner = new Thread(this);
 runner.start();
 public void stop() {
 runner = null;
 public void run() {
 while (true) {
 channelSelect++;
 repaint();
 try {
 Thread.sleep(1000);
 } catch (InterruptedException e) {}
 public void paint(Graphics g) {
 g.setFont(f);
 g.drawString(stringName + channelSelect, 10, 50);
Is it also possible to display the channel name as well as it's number?

Well first of all, you will need to create a Television object in the main applet class.
Also, instead of having System.out.println, have a currentMessage variable that u set the messages to, that way, you can always do
g.drawString(teleObject.currentMessage)in that way you can display the name of the channel.

Whenever I open the browser, it immediately minimizes and I have to click in the corner to get the full screen. How can I change this?

The browser opens, then immediately minimizes to about 1/4 screen size. I have to click the corner box to maximize to full screen. It stays that way until I close it. But it happens every time I open it.

Sorry you did not receive an understandable solution. First of all try rrcovering from the situation using Firefox's '''[[safe mode]]''' try that and post back with ow you get on. This is the easy option from the link in ''cor-el'' 's post, if it does not work you may have to try the hard version !
Try to start firefox in [[safe mode]]
# either hold the shift key when starting firefox or use '''Firefox Button -> Help -> Restart with Add-ons disabled'''
# does it start in safe mode ok ? do you see the safe mode options as shown in the [https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/93cafd5e0e8bef77b66875863ae7f197-1259888532-113-1.png screen-shot] ? NOTE you will loose some toolbar customisation when you proceed to the last step
# unlikely, but you may even see the problem is solved whilst at this stage and in safe mode, if so please mention this, it is a pointer as to what the problem is.
# click on the option checkbox ''' -> [] Reset toolbars and controls'''

My firefox crashes constantly. I have uninstalled it, tried older versions, and run anti virus checks. Can someone give me any idea of how to fix this?

This has been happening for about two months. It started suddenly, but happens many times a day now.

That's the million dollar question.
You could split them in half and re-enable 50% of them. If it doesn't crash, then you know the culprit resides somewhere in the remaining half.

Any ideas on how to change the aspect ratio to 16x9 by trimming the clip, as in 5k R3D files?

I need to edit my project in 16x9, the source files are Epic R3D's in their native 5k resolution which is not 16x9.
I need to trim the shots to 16x9 but don't see the tools to do that.
The trimming functionality does allow for trimming but not to a different aspect ratio than the source file.
At least not with consistency, like having a 16x9 preset.

Highly recommend a look through these: http://themovieswemake.com/tag/red-workflow/

My dad's ipad 2 is glitchy. The icons are small, and some have no design. The dock is gone, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it won't turn

I was just checking fb when suddenly i accidentally pressed this app about this battery thing. Now some icons are small, and some icons have no design
There is no dock, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it didn't turn. I turned it off and on about many times, and the play, fast forward, and reverse button are overlapping. ITS SO GLITCHY!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

I have a customized Yahoo as a home page, but while browsing, Firefox returns it to the general Yahoo home page and I have to "sign in" to get the customized page back.

I have a customized Yahoo home page which opens when I log on.
Whenever I move to the Yahoo mail, I have to "sign in" with Yahoo in order to get back to the customized Yahoo home page. I don't mind doing that when I use the Yahoo mail system, but recently, whenever I switch from FireFox to another browser, when I return to Firefox, I am returned to the Yahoo general page and I have to "sign in" to get back to the customized version of my home page.

I loaded a jZip programme, now whenever I start Firefox it open with the jZip search page and I can't permanently change the home page to my own selection. How can I get rid of theis iZip home page

I have tried all the optons to change the home page, but when I exit from Firefox and restart, it will revert to the iZip search engine home page. I even deleted the izip search engine reference from the searchplugin directory but with no success

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for jzip via the Filter at the top of the about:config page. 
You can reset all jzip related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.
