OS X :: Lost Some Functionality In Print Dialog Boxes / Get Them Back?

May 27, 2010

Using Leopard 10.5.8.

I'm not sure how it happened, but suddenly I have lost the ability to change some settings in print dialog boxes.

In any print dialog box, the top part of the window allows you to select which printer, any presets, the number of copies, whether or not you want them collated, and which pages.

Below that is a drop-down box that typically displays the application name. If you select the triangle in this drop-down box, some other options appear: Layout, Color Options, Paper Handling, Cover Page and Scheduler. All of these options work fine.

Below, these however, are another set of options that are all, I assume, provided by the print driver. On my HP Photosmart C7200, the available options are: Two-Sided Printing, Paper Type/Quality, Borderless Printing, HP Real Life Technologies, and Printer Driver Information.

If I choose any of these options that appear in the lower part of this drop-down menu, nothing appears. The application name remains in the drop-down box. In other words, I have lost the ability to choose two-sided printing, change the paper type or print quality, cor hoose borderless printing.

OS X :: Turn Off All Thumbnails In Finder & File Open Dialog Boxes?

Aug 27, 2010

I have dozens of large PSD files (well 200 of them each abt 200mb) on a network drive folder that I need to access frequently. Access to these is really slow because it seems to want to create thumbnails every time I access that folder. I don't need thumbnails as all the files have a strict naming convention so I know what I want by name. Whatever view I use to load files (I'm using Photoshop CS5) (list, column, icons) it always tries to put a little thumbnail preview next to the file name. Is there something I can type into Terminal that will stop it doing this.

OS X Yosemite :: Why Action Buttons In Dialog Boxes Not Consistently Colored

Dec 6, 2014

Ever since installing Yosemite, I've been bugged by a design choice somebody made for dialog boxes. The trouble is that it doesn't seem to have rhyme or reason.  (I know there probably is a reason; I just can't figure it out.) Many dialog boxes are just fine; easy to read, with black on white or white on blue action buttons.  

Black on blue for an "OK" or "Choose" button.Especially for those of us who are about half to fully color blind, there is almost no way to distinguish between the two.   Does Apple have no color blind people to act as the conscience of the folks who actually make these kinds of design choices? 

I've tried changing system colors to no avail. Is there some way to complain about this other than a bug report? this is of course not a bug, as the program is functioning the way it was designed.   It's just a very poor design.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Applications :: How To Make Dialog/menu Field Input Boxes Larger?

Nov 25, 2009

While in MS Word and other programs, the dialog box when choosing from the menu is pretty small, with small type. Can these field input boxes be made larger with larger, more readable text?

For example, when I'm doing Find/Replace in MS Word, the input field boxes are very small, even though I have a 20" monitor.

OS X Mavericks :: Why All Gray In Sidebar / Lost Functionality

Jun 29, 2014

I've just upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.9.3 and am very disappointed to see that everything in the sidebar is shown in shades of gray. I've used FolderBrander for many years to color code my finder folders and it was great that the folder colors also appeared in the sidebar in 10.6.8. I could group associated folders by color in the sidebar and that made for very rapid and accurate access deep into my folder architecture. I am mourning this lost functionality. how I could send this dissatisfaction along to Apple along with a request to restore colors to the sidebar?

OS X :: Bypass Print Dialog Box?

May 6, 2010

Using OS X Mail, is there anyway to print an email without having to see the print dialog box? On Windows, Outlook has a "quick print" icon that you can put on the toolbar that does just that. I was just wondering if it was possible to do in OS X.

Applications :: Possible To Have More Options In OS X Print Dialog?

Sep 10, 2009

Is there a possibility, to have more print options in the OS X print dialog? Specifically, I want to change quickly the layout of E-Mails, I print (font size bigger, smaller, rewrap mail, move attachments, so they print properly on one sheet instead of spreading on 4 sheets, etc.). I was a heavy user of fineprint for Windows back then and loved especially the implemented big print preview.

OS X :: Unable To Add Printer / Print & Fax Dialog Box Closes

Feb 7, 2008

I open System Prefs and click 'Print & Fax'. I click + to add a printer. The dialog box opens for a few seconds and then closes. Just that window. I cannot add a printer at all or even print anything for that matter. I ran Printer Therapy and it finds nothing wrong. Same with TechTool Pro. Nothing seems to be wrong except this.

OS X :: Turning On Black Only Option In Print Dialog Box?

Dec 6, 2005

Bought Epson CX3650 two months ago; have been printing only letters (i.e. black) which has run out, but so have all the other colours (can't understand why as I've printed next to nothing in colour). Ordered a new black cartridge but wouldn't print as other inks (which I don't need) have run out. Have looked for a "Black Only" option in the print dialog box but can't find it. Anyone know a quick fix that avoids buying 4 colour inks every time? Running Mac System 10.3.9.

Applications :: Power Point Print Dialog Box?

May 27, 2010

I am running MS Office for Mac 2008 under OS X 10.6.3...

I do not get a printer dialog box when I print my slides so I do not get the chance to print speaker notes. Also, when running Word, I go directly to print bypassing the printer dialog box in Word.

I have repaired permissions, updated all my software (OS X, MS Office), rebooted.

Hardware :: How To Display A Full Featured Print Dialog Box

Dec 13, 2008

I just purchased a new Canon Inkjet printer and like my old Epson, the print dialog box is very limited. My only options are to change paper size or landscape mode. I'm unable to choose the number of pages, copies or print quality, etc.

How do I get a full featured print dialog box to display?

As an aside, in the printer/fax prefs I ink supply levels are unavailable as well.

Windows On Mac :: Get Back Lost Data/lost All Hard Drive Partitions After Windows Update?

Jun 26, 2010

I just booted into Windows and saw that there were some Windows Updates available and it asked me to reboot the computer however it failed to boot into Windows. So I restarted and tried to boot into OS X instead, but that didn't work either.

So I put in the OS X install DVD and checked out Disk Utility. Turned out that all my partitions where screwed up. There were 3 partitions listed as Windows_ldm, with incorrect sizes (I had 4 partitions before).

Long story short: I'm now reinstalling OS X and I lost everything I had on the drive, I think. I'll try some restore software once I've gotten OS X installed.

A little pissed right now... How the heck can Windows F up the entire drive?

OS X :: Getting Back Lost Emails?

Jan 3, 2011

While trying to back up emails I seem to have lost them. Following the HELP page in Mail (Mac OS X program) I moved the MAIL folder from LIBRARY to the desktop. I failed to press OPTION while I was doing this, as the HELP page advised. So now, in Mail the identifiers of the messages are there, but the messages aren't and an error message appears saying that the emails have not been downloaded from the server, that I need to be online, etc. I am on line, have done "get mail", all of the obvious things.

I've tried to locate the original MAIL folder with Spotlight.

The server is at [URL]

OS X :: Lost Window - How Can I Get It Back?

Nov 10, 2009

I use a lap top that is usually connected to a high-resolution external monitor. When I disconnect, usually things behave, but occasionally the windows of certain programs will end up way out off the screen.Today I have a Thunderbird window that is far away (Mozilla apps are common victims/causes of this problem). Normally I would just quit and restart, but I don't trust it to save the draft of this important email.Here are the facts: The window is way off to the left. There is no one-pixel still on my main monitor. If I use F11 to see all Thunderbird windows, they swish in from the left, but if I select one they swish out again. Ditto if I minimize and maximize again.

Feb 15, 2008

So I hit customize toolbar to get rid of a button on my Safari toolbar. The window didn't pop up like it was supposed to, so I tried clicking around, and clicked the address bar and it disappeared.

Now even after a restart, I can't get the customize toolbar dialog to come up, therefore I can't get my address bar back.

This is on 10.5.2 by the way.

OS X :: Mac Mail Lost Mailboxes - How To Get Back Data

Relatively new to Mac. In Mac Mail, I accidentally dragged some of the default mailboxes (Drafts) out of the Mailboxes Pane on the left up to the top bar and they disappeared without so much as a warning message to let me know! I can't seem to find a way to get them back or the mail that was in them.

MacBook Pro :: Lost HD And Other Desktop Items - How To Get Them Back

Woke up this morning late, so I didn't check the weather online like I usually do. Unplugged everything from my MBP (including an external display) while it was still asleep, tossed it in my back after it slept again, and headed out the door. When I got to class, all of my desktop items are gone. Macintosh HD, mounted dmg's, some files, and some other things are all gone off my desktop. They obviously still exist and I can open them from Finder
