Can you change the size of the preview images on an Apple TV without changing video resolution?
I have a 32 inch LCD TV. My room is relatively large and I can't easily see the preview images or read the text on the TV across the room. Is it possible to change the size of preview images in the menu screens without increasing the resolution of the TV itself? I think this should be possible, but can't seem to find a way to do it.
No that's not something you can do on the Apple TV.
If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here.

HT1947 Can you use your iPad alone for sharing iTunes music to apple tv without having your pc on?
Can you use your iPad alone to share iTunes music to apple tv without having to use your pc?
Do you have any music stored on your iPad or is it all on your PC?
If the music is stored on your iPad, then double tap the home button, swipe (left to right motion) and you will see the volume/brightness controls/AirPlay. Tap on AirPlay and select ATV. Then go into the music app -
In mavericks mail, I can no longer collapse the preview pane. I don't want to acknowledge receipt of certain spam messages so changing the size of the window isn't the answer because they are no longer unread.
Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)

Can you change the size of the menu bar text ?
I am getting on in years and it is harder to read the text in the menu bar. Is it possible to change the size of the text in the menu bar ?
Christopher,
Also If you want, you might look into the "Zoom" Accessibility feature.
System Preferences > Accessibility > "Zoom" in the list on the left > Pick the Zoom settings you like.
I myself am fond of and use the options "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom:" and Zoom Style: "Picture-in-Picture"
The "Picture-in-Picture" makes a little magnifying like glass that follows my cursor around compared to the whole screen zooming in.
The Modifier key one makes so that When I hold down ( Control ) and scroll it zooms in. You can control the depth of the zoom by scrolling more or less.
Apples Help info on Zoom:

Hope that helps,

Switcher ?Can you change the size of the screen resolution on the Macbook?
I'm really interested in buying a Macbook. This will be my first Mac. I love the way they look and feel. I'm concerned with the size of everything on the Macbook. The overall size of the fonts in applications such as word, or safari was too small for me.
Can you change the size of the screen resolution in OSX like you can on Windows? In Windows doing this makes everything visually bigger.
Please say you can. I'm really wanting the Macbook as it would be great for for a student like me.
Thanks in advance.
Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive soon.
Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive White soon.With an LCD, if you change the resolution, things will be bigger, but blurrier.
You can however keep the resolution of the LCD at its native resolution, giving the maximum picture quality, and then use tools, such as Tinkertool…

Can you change the design to adjust with the size of the browser window?
I am creating my first site in iWeb, and would like the image in the background to adjust as someone adjusts the size of their browser window. In other words, no matter what size their window is, the entire page fits. I would like it to accomodate small to large computers and windows without them having to scroll up/down or sideways.
Any ideas on how to do that?
Thanks!Thanks Wyodor,
I apologize, but apparently I typed "background" image instead of just an image. I have an image on the page that I would like to size to do the same thing. There are layered images on top of it, and I need those images to remain in the same place because they are hyperlinked images that take them to another page. I have attached a photo of what it looks like here.
The agree and disagree buttons are the hyperlinks, and I want them to stay static with the image underneath them. I know that if I put the larger green image as a background image, to have it dynamic, the agree and disagree buttons would not stay in the correct spot when the browser size is adjusted. Thus, it brings me back to my question (but phrased correctly this time)... is there a way to have the entire site, images and all, be dynamic with the size of the browser? No matter what the size of the browser window, I would like the whole page to show so the hyperlink images stay with the image they are on top of.
Thanks! -
For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.
With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen. -
HT2523 how can i change the size of the picture i have copied and paste
how can i change the size of the picture i have copied and paste
If this question is about TextEdit, I don't think you can do it in TextEdit, after pasting the image. TextEdit is meant to be a basic text editing program.
You will have to open the image file in an image editing application. You can use Preview for doing this, or something more fancy. If it's Preview, just open the image file. From the menu bar, under Tools, select Adjust Size. Make the image the desired size. Then, select (outline) the portion of the image you want in the Preview document window. Copy it, and paste it into the TextEdit document window. -
Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.
Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

Can I slim down the size of the Aperture Library by moving the Preview files elsewhere?
Hi all,
I have an Aperture library of almost 20,000 photos, dating back to around 2007. Almost all the master images are stored on an external drive (backed up of course), with only my recent and 'in progress' masters being stored in the library itself. Previously I have had my library split up into one library for each year, with the older years libraries being stored on the external drive where the masters are, in order to keep the size of my 'current' library down. So my current library, stored on my internal SSD, contained only photos from this year and last year, and only a few of the masters for these images. Confusing? Sorry!
Now, I recently decided to consolidate the libraries into one huge library, because it was annoying to have to switch between libraries to find older photos when I wanted them. I did this, leaving all but the recent masters on the external drives (referenced). I thought that the size of the main library would remain reasonably sized, since there were no extra masters being moved into it. However, the library has grown massively - up to over 70GB, which is huge when you consider it's on a 128GB SSD which is also my startup drive.
I'm pretty certain the reason for the huge size increase is that the Previews for all the older images are stored in the Library file, rather than anywhere else. This makes sense - they are previews, they're supposed to be able to be viewed with the external drives disconnected. So my question is this. Am I able to change the location of the preview files to be on my OTHER internal hard drive (non-SSD, much larger), so that they're still available without the external drives, but are not cluttering up my startup drive. And, if not, what should I do!?
Thanks a lotGlad it worked, but permit, if you will, some observations:
-- Bloated Previews are a known Aperture bug, which came and went within a few updates in Aperture 3. Getting them back to the proper size is simply a elegant step to take.
-- A Preview set to your largest screen size and a quality of 6-8 should be all but indistinguishable from the Master at 72-100 dpi screen image. (Not print resolution.) I REALLY doubt you are going to loose any quality.
-- While using a symlink to stick the Previews on a HD is clever, it may also defeat the whole purpose of using your SSD. Previews are read a lot and are, I suspect, used for all adjustments at less than full resolution. (N.B. I could be VERY wrong on this.) Thus, depending on the amount of RAM on your Mac, you could end up reading and rereading your Previews over a slower link and doing this a lot. You own use will quickly determine if this is an issue or not.
I have blathered on, at length, about what I think matters for size and speed here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17959625#17959625. Some of this may be of use.
I went through a lot of these issues when I tried to fit everything on a 128 GB SSD, so I know some of the issues you are facing. As I noted before, you really only need a Library (minus most Masters) of about 30 GB and that is with large, high quality Previews.
I actually took the SSD out and stuck it in an ancient MacBookPro (in preparation for a trip to Blighty this summer) and have not noticed a huge drop in Aperture speed. (I do miss the speed of applications launch, restart, however.) One thing that I did find that made a small, but nice difference, was keeping all of the Masters on a separate, dedicated drive. Once defragged, etc. that was very fast. Don't know if you could achieve the same results by partitioning a larger drive, but it might well be fun to find out.

After creating a pdf can I change the size of the font when uploading in acrobat and what version?
After creating a pdf can I change the size of the font when uploading in acrobat and what version?
What do you mean by "uploading in Acrobat"?
(Note that if you change the size of text, it won't reflow, so you end up with a mess. Answer is, probably not useful) -
picture size...in putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.
If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
That should do what you are loking for. -
How can you avoid having to constantly icrease the size of the type?
Is there a permanent way of setting the minimum size type? Now, I have to continually keep clicking on VIEW or FORMAT to increase the size of the type to avoid eyestrain. I'm thinking of something that works with all, or most, websites and with MAIL. Also, I'd like to hear from someone who has tried the suggested fix. Once before, I was given instructions to do what I'm talking about, but it never worked.
iMac DV (Special Edition) Mac OS X (10.3.9)I don't want to have to keep increasing the size of
the type everytime I go to a new screen or website.
The only way you can make a "universal" change in
text size is to change resolution, as noted in the
earlier reply. You do that in System Preferences
Displays panel.
You can make a change within individual applications
in the preferences for that application, usually
found at Menu -> [name of app] -> Preferences.
For example, in Safari, go to Preferences ->
Appearance to adjust the default fonts. Firefox has
similar preference options. Many web sites do not
use the default fonts. In those cases, I just use
the simple keyboard shortcut for increasing or
decreasing the font size.
Command (Apple) + Plus key (on numeric pad) to
increase
Command (Apple) + Minus key (on numeric pad) to
decrease
In Finder windows, you can right (control) click on
an empty spot and select show view options from the
contextual menu. There you can set the font size in
that window only, or in all windows.
Okay, I'm going to say "solved," even though there are some things I don't yet, and maybe never will, understand. Using your instructions, I fixed MAIL, SAFARI, and iTunes. FAVORITES, I don't quite understand, but I'll figure it out if it ever becomes important enough. I started to change to a cool-looking font, but the problem with that is that maybe the set you're sending to doesn't have it. Because of this, I settled on Ariel. I think that's on every computer. Thanks for you help. -
How can I change the size of the FINDER toolbar so that its eaier to read i.e. make the text bigger.
How can you move the orientaion of the left side menus so that they sit above a document when using word. If you have a single document open you tend to place it in the centre of the screen and the drop down menus are so far away.I don't know of a way to change the size of the menu bar.
For the other, take a look at Menu Pop. I don't know anything about it. Just happened across it the other day. -
How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture. Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!
Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there.
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
