Change Parition Size in Leopard?

I've heard Leopard has the ability to create and change the size of partitions on the fly. Does this also apply to your Boot Camp partition? And if not, how would I go about taking my Boot Camp partition, creating a new Parallels-only partition and restoring the BC one to that, since Parallels can easily resize partitions on the fly.

Hi,
for clearance:
You want to move your BootCamp Windows to Parallels and then remove the BootCamp Windows ?
Or just use the BootCamp Windows as a Virtual Machine in Parallels and keep the BootCamp Windows partition ?
If first, have a look at Parallels Transporter feature, might do the trick.
If second, Parallels can do this right now.
Be aware that at the moment Parallels seems to have problems with Leopard.
So might be better to do it now or wait until Parallels has solved this issue.
regards
Stefan

Change font size in side bar

How do I change the font size for the side bar? I can change icon sizes and font sizes for desktop and folder items, but I do not see where the setting is for the side bar.
Thanks in advance

A few people mention seeing a sidebar option in Tiger but nowhere in 20 minutes web searching could I find anybody saying where they could do this in Tiger (and usually that kind of tip is very quickly found on many websites). They just bemoan missing this in Leopard. Maybe they remember an even earlier incarnation of OSX, or it may involve a pretty serious hack of the system.
http://www.straitmac.com/jforum/posts/list/502.page
I looked at preference lists for Finder and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist and nowhere does it list sidebar font preferences.
Good luck searching, and report back if you do find it.

Change brush sizes using [ ] too slow

I've recently swapped from Windows to Mac and I'm glad to be on Mac now. But whenever I'm changing brush sizes using the bracket keys the response time is way to slow.. I search the forum but found nothing on this. anyone have a fix for this..
Running Leopard with OS 10.5.4 three internal harddrives and 10 gigs ram.
All updates and patches were installed prior to photoshop.
Machine is one week old.

I completely remove Photoshop and did a clean install. Before changing anything I opened an image and tried increasing and decreasing my brush size using the bracket keys and everything was fine. The brush changes as soon as you hit the bracket key.
But as soon as you highlight the info palette top right corner and make it active then come back over the picture and try changing the brush size I'm getting a one second delay. If I hit the bracket key three times quickly the brush completely disapears and then reapears at the appropriate size.
This is a clean install with no plugins, no new fonts, no new nothing.
I then downloaded the latest upgrades.. Reset disk permission, ran the chron scripts and I'm getting the exact same reaction from photoshop when attempting to change brush size with the bracket keys.
Can anybody else reproduce this buy highlighting the info palette??
I called a buddy who also recently purchased a new Mac Pro and his machine is doing the exact same thing.

Why is CS6 Zoom change window size is different then previous versions?

Why in CS6 when zoom changes window size and a folating window fits in Photoshop window or on other display screen do I get scroll bars where a select all selection marching ants are not visible on all four sides till I drag out the window to get rid of the scroll bars so I can see all of marching ants. In preious versions of Photoshop space for scroll bars is present but there are no scrool bar, select all marching ants are visible on all four sides when an image's window fits in Photoshop window or on second display. Is there a way to make CS6 work like previous versions? Also if I just open a document and Photoshop fits it to Photoshop window or second display the floating window is correct without scroll bars. Zoon add then even when not needed....

Without manually resizing each open document window on my Mac, Photoshop 13.x would be simply unusable.
I hadn't posted anything on the subject because the system on which I run Ps 13.0.1 is based on a laptop (MacBook) literally rescued from the trash and with minimal specs. The graphics card is not even involved in processing.
I put up with it because I'm basically using it to run ACR 7.2RC1, then bring the converted and ACR-adjusted onto my regular working machine running CS4.
In a nutshell, nothing will make the window fit the main monitor, not Fit To Window, nor 100% view, nor any shortcut.
I need to drag the window manually from the lower right-hand corner in order for it to fit the monitor. Otherwise, there are substantial gaps on the right and at the bottom. I never run in tab view.
For the sake of thoroughness:
2007, 2GHz MacBook 2,1, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM (can use 3 GB), 160 GB internal boot disk, dedicated FireWire400 external HD for Ps scratch disk, external Time Machine HD. Dual external monitors + built-in laptop screen Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
The Mac-Intel is used for no other purpose than running ACR 7.2RC1 and the only other application I occasionally run on said Mac-Intel is TextEdit.
My main working machine is a Power Mac (PPC) G5 Quad with 16 GB of RAM, on which 11.0.2 is the last version of Photoshop to run, so I have the Mac-Intel system described above just to run ACR 7.x under Photoshop 13.0.1. I convert my raw files in ACR7.x open them in Ps 13.0.x and save them via Ethernet to an external HD connected to the G5 Quad for further processing in CS4.

Changing the size and/or erasing a disk partition

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with two disk partitions. The original is 100G and runs Mavericks, and the other is 200G and runs Snow Leopard. I can change the size of the partition with Snow Leopard that I created but not the original. In the end I need the partition running snow leopard to be 100G and the original with Mavericks to be 200G. Essentially swap the size. Do I need to erase the partition I created to change the size of the original. If so, what is the best way to do this?

This is Apple's guidance on disk partitioning.

Changing Icon Size

Desktop icons are smaller than I prefer. I am sure that back in Panther I could use a slider to change icon size, change snap to grid options but cannot remember where it was. Does Leopard have user adjustable options for desktop icons?

Yes it does. You can control click on the Desktop and from the Contextual Menu select "Show View Options." There is a slider for both icon size and, new to Leopard, one for Grid Spacing as well. The option for Snap to Grid is in the "Arrange by" drop down menu. Don't get TOO carried away with the Grid Size slider, or you will start getting the names of things truncated. Another new thing in Leopard is that you can put your items anywhere you want them (with Snap to Grid turned off) and they will stay where you put them, and this includes the drive icons. Love that!

Does Mountain Lion Automatically Change Fonts, Size or Screen Resolution, Does Mountain Lion Automatically Change Fonts, Size or Screen Resolution

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, the text in my nav bar and inside browsers (generally all around) seem to be smaller and possibly different (thinner) to what they were before.
I would like to revert back to their previous appearance, but after reading various threads and playing around, nothing seems to work. I'm not sure if the font has been changed, the size adjusted, or the screen/display resolution changed.
I tried suggestions like clearing font cache with Onyx and testing different Display resolutions, but didn't manage to get it back to how it was before the OS upgrade.
Appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction please. TIA.

Could you post a screenshot showing your main menu bar and the Finder sidebar, please? This way we could compare the fonts used.
For me the system fonts look like this in Mt. Lion on a 17" MBP with the "Display" System Preferences set to "Best for Built-in Display":
I have the Finder's View option set to use 16pt fonts, but other than that is there no way to change the the fonts used without changing the Display resolution.
One more option you may want to check are the "Contrast" settings in the "Accessibilty" System Preferences. If you set the contrast to a very high value will the text appear to be very thin and hard to read.

Changing Photobook Size

I am using Photoshop Elements 9 and want to change the size of a previously created Photo Book from 8x8 to 12X12. Does anyone know how this can be done?

Give this a try:
1 - select the book icon and type Command+D (duplicate).
2 - open the duplicate book, click on Themes and select what you want.
If the resulting book is not what you expected you can delete the duplicate and return to the original to try another method.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can I change partition size of external HD without losing Data

I have an external HD that I use one partition for backup and use another partition for Time Machine. I need to change the sizes, need more on my backup. Can I change partition size of external HD without losing Data? I just changed from a Powermac G4 using Leopard to a Macbook Pro with Lion, so I am also thinkin in getting everything set up, format the Time Machine with the old stuff and make a new Time Machine.

The Disk Utility can't change the starting point of a partition without erasing it and the data on it.

Size of Leopard OS versus Tiger?

I'm about to install Leopard (when 10.5.3 is released) and I want to do a weekly, bootable back-up of my system to an external firewire drive, using CCC. The current size of my OS X Tiger (10.4.11) contents is about 75 Gigs.
Question: How many Gigs would be added to this system's size by virtue of running Leopard versus Tiger?
I ask because I'm trying to figure out what size the external hard drive needs to be.
There will be two other volumes on this back-up drive totalling about 200 Gigs. A 500 Gig might be fine but a 750 Gig might be a much better value -- particularly with the flexible partitioning capabilities in Leopard.
Suggestions?

Hello,
I'm trying to think about what would be my backup/DRP strategy in the situation you describe.
- Why the bootable copy of Tiger? You don't want to go back to Tiger. It'll useless (given the benefits of Leopard of Tiger). Many, many changes have occurred with Leopard. Nearly all of them are "under the hood". This makes that your idea of a bootable clone of Tiger doesn't yield to any benefit, beside archiving files that you may want to keep handy, like fonts (not all fonts!).
In that case. I would recommend you get a cheap pocket-sized FW400 drive that you'll keep in a safe place for a couple of years, then erase and reclaimed. The Unix command-line utility "asr" is good enough to get you this cloning job done.
- It seems to me you have some critical material for your other larger partition: Your Logic Audio session files.
I would personally investigate in a RAID based drive, where hardware redundancy will get you the level of security against (hardware related) data loss risk.
- You want to create a third partition for an incremental backup ? Assume 2 to 3 times the size of your data to backup when considering the size of your incremental backup solution. Time Machine is very good at keeping numbers down but a month worth of daily changes will get you very close to these figures.
So, you're bound for 3 separate hardware.
- The Bootable system drive clone is bound for recycling in a short timeframe. Once you'll have done that, you'll figure out you've wasted the space of this partition on that drive. You can always plan to delete that partition and extend your Sound files partition ... but if something goes wrong, you'll end up loosing a lot.
- The Volume where you want to store your Snd files is very critical - specially if this is a bread-making work. Don't hesitate for a hardware RAID.
- You don't want to put all your eggs in the same basket (backup volume on the same physical media as live data). An incremental backup requires numerous dedicated (cheap) hardware. After you've reached the capacity of your Volume, what are you going to do? Delete it all and start a new incremental backup again? I bet you're going to keep that first back for a while and get a new drive to start a new incremental backup. Perhaps, you're going to recycle the first backup when the second one will reach max capacity, thus rotating your drives as destination of your backups.
You have 3 different needs. To rely on one single and common hardware to satisfy them is - IMHO - not an efficient strategy.
I hope this will help you.

Changing partition size without reformatting drive?

I heard a rumor that in Leopard you can change the size, name, or other details of a partitioned HDD without having to erase and reformat it.
Is this correct? If so, that would be a huge advantage for me, as I often don't predict how much drive space I'll need to use.

Tell me if I'm wrong, though, but it seems that DU can only shrink. So, if you have 2 partitions, after you shrink one, you can't increase the size of the other. I hope I am wrong here. Please let me know if your experience is different. I think we'd all like to know how it goes, regardless.
That said, VolumeWorks can do as you require. DO NOT do this without a backup of everything.

How to change font size in iCal

How do I change the font size in iCal? When I go to print the monthly calendar, it is so small I can't read it. But for the life of me I can't find where to change the size!

earlnkids,
The text size selection should be available in the first page of the iCal print options:

Can't change paper size in Print module

When I click on Page Setting in the Print module I get a pull-down menu that has options for Printer, Presets, Layout, Pages per Sheet, Layout Direction, Border, and Two Sides but there is no option available for changing paper size. This was not a problem before I updated to 1.2. How do I get that option back? Thanks.

Have you downloaded and installed the latest Driver for the Epson R1800.
It has been said that it is best, even if you have a ppc to download the latest IntelMac Driver to install for that printer, for best results.

How do I change text size in auto-page tabs

Now I'm trying to make the page tabs fit across my page. I've got several pages and will probably have more. I don't want all of them on the bar as they'll be linked in my text. I would also like to make the text smaller and maybe reformat to another font or style.
I don't find anything on this but maybe I'm not searching the right terminology.

You're referring to the navbar. You can remove any page from the navbar by going to the Inspector/Page/Page pane while viewing the page and unchecking the box to include that page in the navbar:
To change the font size of the navbar text see this post by Cyclosaurus: How do you change the size and font of...: Apple Support Communities.
Wyodor also posted a way to change the font size: Darkroom Navigation Font Size: Apple Support Communities.
If you only have a couple of pages you can create your own text based navbar and complete control over the font, size, rollover color, etc. This demo page has an example: Text Based Navbar. Be sure to use Web Safe Fonts.

How Can I Change the Size of My Home Page So That It Fills the Screen?

I have a PowerBook G4. Up until a couple of weeks ago when I opened Safari the home page filled the screen. Something has happened and now it fills only a portion of the screen. I can move the page around, change the size slightly by using the green button next to the minimizing button, but nothing I do will enlarge it to fill the screen. I have gone to View and Preferences, but find nothing to resolve this. Please help!

You're welcome Maureen. Glad I could help.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.
