Changing the CS3 AI default startup document in Mountain Lion??

Everything you read says that to change the default AI (CS3) startup document you use this path:
Users > (User Name) > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > New Document Profiles > *.ai
The problem is, under Mountain Lion that path doesn't exist. When I go to my user name, there is no "Library" folder at all. Under "Shared" there is an AI Library folder, but it has nothing of any value in it.
My AI startup document (that I've been using for ages) is found here:
HD > Applications > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > Plug-ins > filename.ai
However, if I navigate there and make changes, then quit Illustrator and re-launch it, nothing happens. I'm using the same old defaults as before.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? I know I need to upgrade to a later version of CS, but the prices have become so outrageous there's no way I can justify it as long as AI and PS are working. You need a mortgage to buy new Adobe products these days.
Tks

The location of startup files has changed in version CS3.
The lirbary folder is hidden in Mac OS Lion and above, you can access it like this: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/access-user-library-folder-in-os-x-lion/

How do I change the font size of a document when I PRINT?

How to I change the font size of a document when I print it?

To specifically and fully answer your question, no, you absolutely cannot change the “font size” as a function of print.
First of all, there isn't a single “font size” associated with a PDF file (and we assume you are referring to a PDF file since this is an Acrobat forum).
Secondly, PDF is a final form file format meaning that the content is static in terms of location, size, etc. on the page. To change the point size of any particular text, you really need to go back to the source document and make the changes there.

How do I change the template for a pages document?

Once you've opened it, the opened document is no longer a template. Edit it as you would any other Pages document.
If you want to use the edited document as a Template, then , after editing, go File > Save as Template, give the new template a name, and click Save.
The old template will remain available in the location where you found it; the new one will be in the My Templartes sectionof the Templates Chooser.

Is it possible to change the system's default font?

It is difficult to explain my question, but is it possible to change the system's default font of the script at the top of all windows, and desktop icons? I really think that would add personality to my powerbook. Thanks for any input.

It is possible, and may be changed using the Terminal if you know the commands. However, the easier way is to use TinkerTool <http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html>.
Enjoy!

Adobe acrobat pro x change the program's default page display to single page view - Windows 8, HP La

adobe acrobat pro x change the program's default page display to single page view - Windows 8, HP Laptop

Since there were no answers, I will take a stab at a reponse. For the 2nd method, I suspect you could simply select the print or press job options to get the desired results or turn off "use local fonts" in Acrobat. If you check the font list, the fonts are probably not embedded and that is likely the problem.
I noticed that you have both Reader and Acrobat installed and that might cause some conflict, but should not be the issue here. If you were to uninstall Reader, you would have to repair Acrobat. The conflict here is that you might have problems with the one opening when you want the other. If it works for you, then don't worry about it.
For technique 1, I suspect you may be using IE 9 that has apparently been a problem since it came out. I have refused to install it. However, it may simply be that PDF Maker does not work correctly with your browser, or got deactivated and needs to be allowed to run in your browser (IE I am assuming).

Can I change the Transform measurement default from pixels to inches?

Can I change the Transform measurement default from pixels to inches?
CS 6 (13.0.1) on Windows 7 64-bit

We could be talking about different things. I meant the fields in the Options bar when in Transform mode. See screenshot.
They always default to px for X and Y, and % for W and H, regardless of the units setting in Preferences.

How to mute/delete startup sound in Mountain Lion?

Is there a way to shut off/mute the startup sound in Mountain Lion without simply turning down all sounds? For years I have used a third party pref pane called startup sound, but it has not been updated for OS 10.8. Thanks.

1. Login as administrator and open Terminal
2. Create scriptfile for muting
sudo nano /path/to/mute-on.sh
3. Enter this as content, when done press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit:
#!/bin/bash
osascript -e 'set volume with output muted'
4. Create scriptfile for unmuting
sudo nano /path/to/mute-off.sh
5. Enter this as content, when done press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit:
#!/bin/bash
osascript -e 'set volume without output muted'
6. Make both files executable:
sudo chmod u+x /path/to/mute-on.sh
sudo chmod u+x /path/to/mute-off.sh
7. Check if any hooks already exist (these will be overwritten, so make sure it is OK for you)
sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook
sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook
8. Add hooks for muting
sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /path/to/mute-on.sh
sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /path/to/mute-off.sh

Assign new default RSS reader in Mountain Lion

How do I change the default RSS reader under Mountain Lion and Safari 6?
Removing the configuration preference from Safari 6 was a BAD IDEA!
Anyway, any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

Use whatever RSS reader you prefer from the very many that currently exist. Find them at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads . You can also find them on the Mac App Store. A good one is NetNewsWire 3.3.2. It's also free.

Hi,
the NFSv4 domain name is not necessarily related to the host name or the host's fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). It can be the same like the domain name, but it does not have to.
To find the corrent NFSv4 domain name, you have to look it up in the NFSv4 server's configuration files.
Kind regards,
Steffen

i need the os x mavericks download, im on mountain lion, and i wish to obtain mavericks on my computer not yosemite

You will need to contact Apple, try iTunes Support. Mavericks was pulled from the MAS when Yosemite was released and the only possible way to get it is by contacting Apple directly.
good luck
