How can you PERMANENTLY change the default Ken Burns effect?

I don't like the Ken Burns effect and want to PERMANENTLY remove it from the default setting for slideshows. I know how to deselect it every time I create a new slideshow, but isn't there a way to change the default setting so the Ken Burns effect is not selected unless I want it?

SImilarly, you cannot permanently disable the Ken Burns effect and remove it from the default settings.

How can you add/change the currency rate in spro?

Hi all,
you can add a new currency code by going to spro --- general settings --- check currency codes
for example: PERU ---> PEN
But, how can we add/change the currency rate PEN in spro?
for example: Peruvian Nuevo Sol = 4,3567619
Is it still in customizing? And if so, where can i find it?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Pamela.

Hi Aman,
I have entered the field to add the new currency rate.
But the system doesn't want to valid my new rate.
I get the following error message:
"Input should be in the form ._,____ "
Do you know how to override that command?
Thanks.

How do you set/change the default alarm TYPE in iCal?

I like to think I'm a power user, but this one I just can't figure out. The question/problem is: How do you sent the default alarm TYPE in iCal? The problem is illustrated in the picture below in the blue circled area.
Specifically, whenever I set a new event in iCal, it defaults to this window with the default alert being "Default (1 hour before)." The one hour before is fine, but the problem is, WHAT is the default? It seems to be just a sound, but that's not good enough to actually alert me of anything.
The goal I'm trying to achieve with this post is to determine how to CHANGE the "default" new event alert FROM "Default (1 hour before)" TO one of two alerts that I actually find useful: I want MY "default" new event alert to be either "email" to the primary address, OR, "Message with Sound".
Any ideas, folks? Thanks.

Understand. I am in the edit mode for my contact. I see all the contact info. There is no right click or other means to change the DEFAULT address that autofill uses (it also is first to appear if I type my name in an e-mail). For instance for a group e-mail you can change the default addresses of each contact by control-clicking on the group in Address Book. I can't seem to make the default change in my v-card.

How can I permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items (getting started, most recent, etc.)?

I can't seem to permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items. They show up frequently on start-up, even after manually deleting them in a previous session. I use 3.6 x_32 on Linux (for Flash) and 4.0 RC 1 x_64 (for non-flash) sharing the same profile.
I use the X-marks extension and I thought that was the cause the problem, but the problem keeps happening even after deleting all of the the default items in each version and then overwriting my x-marks server data with a forced upload both times.
I'm guessing that x-marks will be most people's prime suspect. I just want to make sure that firefox isn't recreating the items as a default behavior.
I know it's a minor annoyance, but I keep my bookmarks toolbar pretty full. Thanks.

Does it still happen if you temporarily disable Xmarks?
Doesn't it work if you hide the Bookmarks Toolbar?

How do you I change the default e-mail address within a contact in Address Book

My v-card (My Card) information has 3 e-mail addresses. My work e-mail address is the default used whenever I use autofill on a web page. I am trying to change the default e-mail within my contact to my home e-mail address but there is no information that I can find to do this.

How can I permanently enlarge the default size for pop-ups?

I use several sites that employ pop-ups. The default size is too small, so I have to manually enlarge each pop-up. How can I set the default size for pop-ups to a larger size. I don't want them maximized, just larger than the default.

A pop-up should fit normally unless you are zooming images or text or increasing elements otherwise.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

How can you PERMANENTLY change a photo title?

I know how to change the title of my photos in iPhoto (by clicking on the title of the image or changing it in the information panel). But when I copy the image to another place--for example, dragging it to my desktop or onto a USB stick--the original title, the one with just numbers, appears and the new title is lost. If I change the title on the icon of the desktop image and then re-import it into iPhoto, I get the new title, but there must be an easier way than moving all my photos to my desktop and then moving them back into iPhoto and erasing the original iPhoto photos.

The trick is not to drag it to the desktop, but instead, use the File -> Export command. In the resulting dialogue set the Kind: to jpeg and then tick the box at 'Title and Keywords' and then complete the export. iPhoto will make a copy of your pic with the title as filename, including any description and keywords you may have added.
By way of explanation: iPhoto preserves your Original file, no matter what. Changing the filename is a change to the file and would require a modified version. Obviously this would be very expensive in terms of Hard Drive space, so iPhoto does not rename the file. Further, filenames are irrelevant in iPhoto as cameras can produce hundreds of files with the same name. SO iPhoto does not rely on them as an identifier.
Alternatively, some folks rename their file prior to importing to iPhoto. To do tthis use Image capture (in your Apps folder) to move the pics to a folder on the desktop then use a batch file renaming utility such as Name Mangler to rename the files and then import to iPhoto.

How can I permanently change the orientation of an I-Phone MOV file.

I'm trying to burn DVDs for family members from some wedding videos I took with my I-Phone. Because I held the I-Phone in an upright, or "portrait" position, the normal playback comes through in a "landscape" orientation with the images laying sideways. Within QuickTime Pro, I'm able to rotate the viewing angle by 90 degrees to be viewed properly, but when I save the adjusted settings, the original file remains unchanged in its "un-rotated" format. How can I change the actual, native file format so that the orientation is correct for a DVD playback that does not have the benefit of QuickTime functionality?

The "normal" size of the source video is 1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels high. My goal is to crop some of both the top and bottom of the display area so as to reduce the size of the pillar box effect when I export the file in the 90-degree rotated position. Within Photoshop I made as many as 12 different variations of masks using the same 1920x1080 dimensions. But when I apply the masks, the resulting views I get are bottom left, bottom right, bottom middle, etc., but none of the masks will display any portion of the top half of my source video?
Maybe it would be easier to run through the entire strategy here. First of all you have determine your workflow.
1) First of all you have to decide if you are making a data DVD (one that plays on a computer) or a normal DVD that is to be played on a commercial DVD player. Based on your previous comments, I had assumed you wanted the latter.
2) The next step is to decide which DVD standard you need for the DVD player. Am assuming you are creating an NTSC DVD here which means your final encode matrix will be 720x480.
3) The next step is to decide whether you are creating a widescreen or a full screen DVD. I.e., you need to decide whether you need to mask or crop your content to a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio.
4) At this point I would decide upon a specific workflow strategy—i.e., whether to crop or mask the content. Since you mention the creation of masks, I assume this is your preference.
5) Having answered the above questions, I would now open the rotated file in QT 7 Pro as a 1080x1920 display file.
6) At this point I would probably scale the display dimensions as needed to most easily work at your preferred target aspect ratio. By this I mean your maximum width is 1080 which works well at a 4:3 aspect (1080x810) but not so well as 16:9 aspect (1080x607.5) mask. Obviously in the latter case dimensions something like 960x540 would be easier to work with and I would likely "scale" the display width to 960 in the "Keep Aspect" mode and allow QT 7 Pro to scale the verticle dimension as it pleases.
7) Now is the time to create the white mask background at the same dimensions as your scaled or unscaled display screen as currently open in QT 7 Pro.
8) To create the actual mask, you now black out the area (e.g., 1080x810 within a 1080x1920 screen or 960x540 within your "scaled" display screen) you want to display in your final DVD. This area can be centered or offset high or low to center the focus of attention in your final DVD.
9) Once you have finished step 8, you can export your properly oriented and masked content to any compression formats compatible with your DVD authoring application which will properly scale, convert, and author the content for DVD burning according to the proper widescreen or full screen settings selected by you.

How can I permanently change my default import location in LR 3.5

I am trying to change my default import location on my MAC Pro Tower, to one of the internal HD's. I have named the HD Photo Location, and have created a folder in it called it "My Lightroom Photos". I have been able to create this, but cannot seem to ber able to make it my default when I open LR 3.5. I have to manually go in and change it. Is there a way that this can be changed to make it my default?
Thank you.

Up to now we were talking about the Destination Folder which can be saved as part of an Import Preset.
You are talking about the Source Folder.
I tried what you did with the "Add" function. The source folder that I had selected previously when I saved the preset was not highlighed when I selected the preset.
It seems that the Source Folder is not part of the saved preset. When I select a different source folder (still in the "Add" function) , the name of my preset remains unchanged.
When I select a preset in the "Move" function and change the destination folder, the name of my preset changes to "something, something (edit)".
This behaviour would support my idea that a source folder cannot be saved as part of a preset.
So in the end, if you do not want to import into LR by copying or moving the images from the memory card you'll have to live with having to select your source folder on each import.
When you select Copy or Move the memory card will be detected by LR automatically and will be highlighted. And in >Preferences >General Tab you can also get LR to show the Import Dialog when a memory card is detected.

How can I permanently change the date format from the American format to the UK's without having to constantly change it manually every time I start a new spreadsheet?

This is my first mac so I'm still getting my bearings with it. I've only used Windows programmes before. I can't understand why it's so hard to change the date format of the cells in Numbers to keep it showing the UK format. The system preferences of the mac show that it's in the correct region and has the correct date but this doesn't seem to transfer into the Numbers program. I was very impressed with the mac until I discovered this. If anyone knows how I can get the date to stay in the correct format without having to go through the process of altering it in the cell inspector everytime then I would be very grateful.

Numbers & most apps, especially those from Apple, use the date format you have set in System Preferences > Language & Text > Region. You can then choose UK from the Region drop-down list. Mine says Custom because I've defined things further as in the second screenshot.

How do you globally change the default program for opening photo files?

I want to adjust my system so that when I double click a photo file, Preview does not automatically launch. I work in Photoshop all the time and would prefer that it be the default program for pictures. I have already changed the "when you insert a picture CD" command in CD's & DVD's in System preferences but this does not have any effect on when I double click on a picture file to open it; Preview always launches and opens the picture there. That automatic opening behavior is fine but I need it to happen in Photoshop.

Assuming your pictures are all .jpg files: select any .jpg by clicking once on it in the Finder, then press Command+I to Get Info about it. In the Open With: section of the Get Info window, change the preferred application from Preview to Photoshop, then click the Change All button.
Now any .jpg file that you double-click will open in Photoshop.

Hi,
I would think that, generally speaking, users would print from a Printer Friendly page. This is a page template that has most of the top and bottom (that is, the tabs and footers) of a normal page removed. You can switch a page to a Printer Friendly one fairly easily - see: Re: Print Report without Template for an example. As this is a separate page template, you can use printer-only styling. The downside is that you can only have one Printer Friendly page in your application, so you have to be careful to make any styling generic.

Lightning: How can I permanently change the event organiser's email address when inviting attendees?

I have two email accounts associated with Thunderbird; one is the default account from which my emails are being sent. However, when attempting to send an event invitation, through Lightning, my secondary email appears in the organiser's field and it cannot be changed.
Thanks, in advance, for any responses.

Many sincere thanks for taking the time to reply. Problem solved!

How can I permanently change the location tab on the side bar? Every time I change, the next time I log on, it reverts to the "old" location.

On the left hand side of the screen is a location tab. For some unknown reason this is set to a location I have never lived at. It is set for Brighton, UK.
I would like to change it to where I live and I can do this but when I log off, it does not remember the new location and reverts to Brighton UK the next time I log on.
Not a major inconvienience I agree but it would be nice to get information which relates to where I live and not some other UK location.

There are two ways to use iTunes with an external drive, one is to relocate the media folder to a folder on the external, leaving the library files on your internal drive, the other (not advertised in support docs) is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive and connect iTunes to the new location. You chose the first method, which works fine until you forget to turn on the drive before you start iTunes.
If your external media folder is called \iTunes\iTunes Media then process is relatively easy. Copy the contents of the iTunes folder on your internal disk into \iTunes on the external, then hold down shift as you start iTunes and choose the iTunes library on your external drive.
If you external media folder has a different path or name then a few more steps are involved.
Consolidate your library before you start just in case the are any files outside of the designated iTunes Media folder.
Copy the contents of the iTunes folder into the parent folder of the media folder.
Connect iTunes to the library on the external with the shift-start-iTunes method.
Close iTunes and rename the media folder as iTunes Media, then start iTunes, check a track or two, then close it again. (Skip this stage if the folder already has the correct name)
Rename/move the parent folder as \iTunes (or create a new folder at \iTunes and move the iTunes library files, Album Artwork & iTunes Media folders into it) then reconnect iTunes to the library with the shift-start-iTunes method.
If you should now start iTunes without the external drive connected, iTunes will warn you that it cannot find the library and prompt you to choose or create one. Simply cancel, connect the drive, and restart.

How can I permanently change the opacity option when cropping an image?

I can save the crop opacity at say 5%, exit Photoshop 13, and setting has persisted (Edit > Preferences > Display & Cursors > Opacity). However, when I crop a second image without exiting PS, the opacity has returned to 75%. I am cropping some very dark scanned slides, and I need the 5% opacity to see the slide corners and edges.

See if resetting the pse 13 editor preferences makes any difference.
Go to Edit>Preferences>General, click on Reset Preferences on next launch and then restart the pse 13 editor.
