Changing slideshow defaults

Is there a way you can change the default settings of slideshows.
I always want the music and ken burns effect turned off in my slideshows. At the moment every time I create a new slideshow I have to manually change these settings.

Sorry, but the alias method is the only method that works unless you want to relocate the entire Home folder. You can move the Home folder to another location, then configure Accounts preferences to point to the new location. Open Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate, CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your account listings and select Advanced Options from the contextual menu. In the dialog you can select the new location for your Home folder by clicking on the Choose button to the right of the field labeled Home Directory. Then restart the computer. You can then delete the original Home folder on your startup volume.
The above is not a recommended procedure. If you move the Home folder to an external drive and the drive is not connected at startup, then the computer will not boot up. Also this procedure only works if you have Leopard installed. For Tiger see the following;
Moving Your Home Directory.

How do I really(!!) change the default ringtone?

I have a ringtone on my IPhone 3GS which appears correctly amongst the other tones. When I click upon it, a check mark appears and the sound plays successfully. It is 29 seconds long. But when my phone rings, a different tone (which is marked 'default') is used for the ring instead of the checked one. That different one is marked 'default'. I had thought that clicking upon the ringtine sets it as the default. How can I change the default so that this tone is used instead of the one marked default. Online web instructions say that clicking ought to be enough to select the ringtone used. When I click upon other tones listed, the 'default' designation does not change to them as well.
Although I do not believe that it is relavant, the following additional information is supplied: Please note that this ringtone was made by me from a downloaded piece of music. Once before, I had made this into a ringtone, and that time successfuly. But I lost it when I inadvertently reset the phone. Since then, ITunes has changed four times, and this time it would not load the ringtone, even though the ITunes itself had made it. That is why I resorted to an external program. (Yes, I did follow the renaming instructions contained in some of them to verify it ended in 'R'.) An external program, IFunBox was used. It found the file, recognized it as a ringtone, and copied it into the IPhone, where it shows up as a ringtone within Settings.
I believe if I could find a way to make it the 'default', the phone would use it..
Thank you

Jon:
Dragging the thumbnails to the desktop and exporting are essentially the same process, producing copies of the full sized image file. Exporting gives you other options, however. Once you get the photos out of iPhoto you can run PhotoInfo on them and then import as new files. iPhoto will see those new files with the correct date. If you try running PhotoInfo on files already in iPhoto, you can change the EXIF Capture Date in the file but iPhoto won't recognize the changes.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

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.

I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but I feel compelled to say that:
a) This reply is great, probably one of the best I've ever seen.

Power view in SharePoint - Changing the default save location?

Is it possible to change the default location when saving Power view back into SharePoint?
Our users are creating their own power view reports by clicking a power view shared data source in SharePoint document library.
When saving their reports, the default location is always the same location where the data source is. This is described here also:
https://support.office.microsoft.com/en-us/article/Power-View-in-SharePoint-Server-Create-save-and-print-reports-f616575e-02bf-46cd-b94a-b744245ef9d1?CorrelationId=a852221e-b063-4020-a20a-53d8e8fb8b8b&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Quote from the link: "The first time you save the
report, the default location will be the folder where the model is located."
Ok, understood. But is it possible to change this???

Hi again
Ouch! Not the network!
One of the hard learned issues that folks are unaware of until they encounter problems is that Captivate does not do well when a project is stored on a network. It's fine to keep projects there in order to back them up or as a transfer pivot location to allow others to edit, but you never want to open Captivate, click File > Open and browse to a network location to open a project for editing.
Best practice at this point is to keep projects on your local C drive when you make edits.
Cheers... Rick

Office 2013 - Is there a way to when installing that you can change the default save location without having to configure it within the client?

So, What I am trying to do is deploy Office 2013 throughout our company, and I do not want the users to save their business or personal files created within Office 2013 on the C: drive or Sky Drive. We have what is called the U: drive and I'd like to know
if there's a quick registry tweak that I can use to not only change the default location upon setting up a computer, but to deploy through Group Policy?
One other question perhaps; Is there a way to change not only the file location to default to only the one place, but also is there a way to also set a specific size limit to folders and prevent certain files from being saved (videos and personal pictures).
I have our network pretty tight as to what or who can go where, and what not, I am just really for an answer or some help to the default location...anything you have GREATLY APPRECIATED!

You can use the OCT and/or domain Group Policy, to customise the Office experience and settings for your users:

How do I change my default printer to print in grayscale?

How do I change my default printer to print in grayscale using a MacBook Air? I have gone to "system preferences" and "printers & scanners." However, there is absolutely no option to change the print color scale. I see that option when I go to a document & print, but I don't want to go through the hassle of changing to "gray scale" every time I print. Thanks so much in advance!!

Hi,What operating system you are using? What application you are printing from?

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

How to Change the Default SSH Port from Terminal ?
now showing default SSH Port 22 i need change it pls help me how can do

When I change the default folder to save downloads in the options menu, it later reverts to the default folder even though I have made not changes in options. Any ideas? thanks!

In the Options menu I changed the default download location (folder) to a folder I have on my desktop and saved the changes. But this option reverts to the default folder when I turn on my computer and open FF the next day.

Thank you for your response.
I do use CCleaner and just ran it. It did not change the download option folder that I had changed from the default so it appears that this is not cause.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again!

How do you change the default font in Illustrator CS5?

I have upgraded my Illustrator to CS5 and my default font has changed to a strange font. In Photoshop and InDesign, I was told that all you have to do is change the font in the Character menu to the font that you wish to be set as "default" and it will be the font that you always start with.
NOTE: Does this mean that if I use a different font in a different document, the font will stay that font unless I change it back? Isn't there a way to make a particular font the font that I would always what I start with? All this setup means, is that the "default font" will always be whatever the last font that was being used was. There has to be a way to make a default font that I will always start with no matter what the last font that was being used was.
Illustrator gives you no option on font type, unless a file is open. Then, if you change the font and close the file, next time you start a file, it will go back to what is was to begin with. There has to be a way to change the default font for all of these programs to where the font always stays the same unless you change it. Mine is just set to use a weird font that I would probably never use.
I just never thought it would be that big of a deal to change default settings for the font.

Okay, I basically made three different documents and I made sure that I had everything chosen in each. I then saved the three to that file and they now appear in the list:
Settings for all 3:
72psi, 150psi and 300psi
Rulers Visable
Times New Roman
12pt
14.4pt
I then went in and started three new documents. I used the three different New Document Profile's that I made and they all had Rulers, their sizes were correct, but the font stayed Myriad Pro. Did I miss anything? And, Yes, I did change the font and the setting before I saved them in the New Document Profile.
One other thing, I did create a file in the folder, but it was spelled incorrectly. I then went into the folder, erased it and made a second. Then, I went to open it in IllustratorCS5 and it was still listed. I went to the file and it wasn't there anymore, but it was still listed in the New Document Profile. Is there a way to get it off of the list or is all I have to do is restart Illustrator?

How do I change the default certificate in Java Web Console?

I have a 3rd party issued server keystore & truststore ready to go in both jks and p12 file formats. I wish to use this in the Sun Java Web Console instead of the self signed certificate. I cannot find any documentation as to changing the certificate. I did find commands to change the keystore and truststore passwords, but I want to change the entire certificate.
I tried manually messing with the /var/webconsole/domains/console/conf/server.xml configuration file but realized it was more complex than that. Is there a documented procedure for changing the default certifcate?
Thanks

How do you change the default font in indesign cs3 on a mac?

Hi, I have tried closing all indesign docs and then changing the font in the font menu to helvetica (from times), then opening a new document and it still gives me [Times (TT)] when i draw a new text box and write something in it.
I have tried quitting indesign and reopening it and its still the old default font of [Times (TT)] - which is also not an available font on my machine.
I have also changed my basic paragraph style to helvetica from times, and it still doesnt change the default font when i open a new document.
When i open a new document in indesign it comes up with helvetica in the character pallet as the font, its just when i go to draw a text box and write something in it that it writes it in Times.

Is it possible you have more than one text frame object style, or that you have some default paragraph style set other than [Basic Paragraph]? If you are only editing Basic Paragraph and your default text frame is set to another syle, or you have another paragraph style selected when you begin typing, you might see this behavior.
If not, try resetting your preferences. Replacing InDesign Preferences

Changing the Default Currency in Analytics App's don't change curr symbol

Hi All,
We are using BI APPS 7.9.4 with OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2
We want to change the default currency for reporting from $ to £ in BI Dashboard reports.
I have edited the currencies.xml file on $INSTALLDIR/OracleBI/web/config
changed the sybmol to £ from $
<Currency tag="int:wrhs" type="international" placeholder="true" symbol="£" format="$#" digits="2" displayMessage="kmsgCurrencySiebelWarehouse">
<negative tag="minus" format="-$#" />
</Currency>
<Currency tag="loc:en-GB" type="local" symbol="£" locale="en-GB" format="$#" digits="2">
<negative tag="minus" format="-$#" />
</Currency>
and restarted BI Server, Presentation Server, Java Host and all the OPMN services but the reporting currencies in the dashboard reports are still displayed in $. The report currency symbol is showing $ by default irrespective of the default currency set in the currencies.xml
Ex: $13459
Anyone know what this issue could be, please let me know if am missing anything.
I appreciate your help.
