You can edit the interval in Console or install a Pref Pane
called TimeMachineScheduler (Leopard or higher) free from:

  • Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?

    Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2?  It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar.  Thanks

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

  • Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

    Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
    I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
    The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.

    Hi,
    As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
    And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
    Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
    All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
    The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
    Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

    Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

    Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
    Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
    Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
    This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

  • Is there a way to change the default angle for effects or a quick way of selecting 90 or 180 without typing in numbers?

    The app developer chooses the alert sound, or provides a way for you to change it.

  • IS THERE A WAY TO CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS FOR REMINDERS?

    IS THERE A WAY TO CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS FOR REMINDERS?

    Yes you can, in the sense that this is an "Alert" sound you've set for the whole Mac software, and of course this is set in System Preferences > Sounds > Sound Effects. This will change the "alert sound" for the whole Mac.
    So, No, you can't change only this particular Alert sound. If you could, it would be done in System Preferences > Notifications, and your only option there is whether you want the sound or not (Chkbox on "Play sound when receiving Notifications")

  • Is there a way to change the alert tone for the find my iphone app?

    Is there a way to change the alert tone for the find my iphone app? The one they use from the factory is terrible! I tried it out and could hardly hear it from 5 feet away!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, so far as I am aware you cannot change this tone. I must admit I don't fully understand your problem, I've tried it myself and can hear it from some distance away.

  • Is there a way to change the default action for clicking a "Print" button on a website to open Print Preview instead of the default system printer?

    When I am at a website that contains a button for printing (Gmail, for example), is there a way to change the way that functions, so that when I click "Print", Firefox will open Print Preview instead of taking me to the default system printer?

    You can apply  system-wise "negative" color effect under Settings > General > Accessibility, by toggling the White and Black switch - and, in iCab Mobile (and some other, better browsers / PDF readers), its own "night mode" negative color scheme.
    Otherwise, no, you can't do anything else except for asking third party app authors to add selectable back/froeground (=text) colors to their apps.

  • Why is there NO way to change the credit card info to pay for ICloud services??

    Currently I am being asked for a 3 digit verification number to a credit card that is no longer valid.  Why is there no way to change the credit card info on ICloud services?

    You change it in iTunes. Go to the iTunes Store. In iTunes 12, click on your name in the toolbar and choose 'Account info'. In previous versions click 'Account' in 'Quick links' on the right. Sign in, and click 'Edit' next to 'Payment information'. Then you can change the card.

  • Is there a way to change the download/up location for the imported Library?

    I user Vista 64bit
    I have the latest version of Itunes
    My OS is on my C: partition
    My main hard drive space is on D:

    I have move the Itunes Library folder to D: , and when I try again it will create a new file in the C: again where there is not enough space. The C: drive is just for OS and a bit of additional room.

  • Is there a way to change the ring tone to none for one particular contact?

    I see there is an option to turn the text message settings for a particular contact to 'none'.  Is there a way to change the ring tone to 'none' or 'silent' for only one contact.  This is a person who calls way too often and I used to turn their ringer to 'none' when I had a blackberry.  This way I can talk to this person when it is convenient for me and not have to listen to the ringer everytime they call.

    You need to sync a silent ringtone to your phone & then assign it to that contact. Here's one already made:

  • Is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera?

    I'm sure someone else has probably already asked this, but is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera? The resolution is horrible.

    Welcome to  Discussions, Prissymissysays
    The last Apple-published resolution data I saw said that iSight's resolution is 640x480 VGA. I do not know of any way to change iSight's resolution, but that level is plenty of quality for my webcam needs.
    The software you use to operate your iSight controls it, so specific answers will depend on what software you are using when you need more resolution. Check Help in that application to see if it can change iSight's resolution.
    Some software, such as Apple's QuickTime 7 Pro allow you to change iSight's video quality and compression level with its QuickTime Player > Preferences > Recording > Quality: setting. You can add iGlasses software to manually override some iSight settings that are otherwise controlled automatically by the software using iSight. However, I do not think either of these options really changes iSight's resolution.
    Check whether your iSight's lens cover has fingerprints or smudges on it. Then check iSight's image quality of your face in full sunlight about two feet from the lens. Best image quality requires more light than what most people would consider normal room lighting.
    If you are still having problems, consider the applicable suggestions from How to Troubleshoot iSight.
    If you need better resolution than iSight can deliver for some special imaging requirement such as close-up or high-accuracy images, you may need to consider using a different camera that better meets your special needs.

  • I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter.  She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters.  Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

    I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter.  She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters.  Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

    There is no way for the keyboard itself to display only lower case letters. It doesn't display lower case letters at all for that matter.
    When you are using the keyboard - The other issue that you will have is with the shift key. Even with auto caps turned off you can still type capital letters if you tap the shift key and if you double tap it by mistake - it will turn into all capital letters so also turn off Caps Lock in the keyboard settings.
    Other than that, there is no way to ensure that you can type in lower case.
    Maybe an external bluetooth keyboard would be a better solution but I don't use one, and I have never even seen one in person so someone else will have to verify that for you.
