How can I change CSV-separators?

If I export a file from Numbers or from MS-Excel, the file always contains semicolon's as separators. But for most imports -like in contacts- I do need comma as separator. I know that I can change the semicolon to a comma by using Textedit, but this can't be the real solution.
Even i tried to change language settings and didn't get a proper result.
My language settings are German, Decimal comma is set for currency values.
Does anybody has an idea?

Do what Wayne Contello has suggested or get a free copy of Text Wrangler

Unlike TextEdit, invisibles can be displayed in Text Wrangler. Plus it has grep replacement.
Personally, I would convert any csv file(s) to tab delimited prior to importing to Excel.

If I chose the wrong folder as defaulf for downloads to go to, how can I change it?

I use download manager. I hit '''yes''' when asked if I wanted to make the folder shown as the default for future downloads of that type. I did not mean to do that. How can I change the default folder?

Hi belladonna82,
You should take a look at the [[Downloads window]] and [[Options window - General panel]] Knowledge Base articles. They will give you all the details you need. Unless you are talking about the default action and not the actual download folder? If so, you should look at [[Options window - Applications panel]].
Hopefully this helps!

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

How can I change the default "from" email account on my iPad/iPhone in IOS 8.2?

I currently use my phone & pad for business and personal use. My emails should come from my business account but they're coming from my Yahoo account. How can I change it without having to manually change each email? I've checked online but I don't see settings/mail,contacts,calendars/default account in this new revision of software.
Thanks!

Hi bschmidt0726,
Go to "Setting"; scroll down to the 4th box for "iCloud"; You need to turn on you "Mail" option in the "iCloud" settings.
Then,
Go into "Settings", scroll down to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"; on the left panel, scroll down to the 4th box; there you'll find the "Default Account" settings.

How can I change an english/american keyboard to a danish one?

How can I change an english/american keyboard to a danish one on a Macbook Air?

Apple menu / System Preferences / Keyboard / Input sources.
Click + (bottom left) and in the pane that comes up, select Danish on the left, and click Add.
Of course that can only change what the keys actually input, not what is written on the keys. If you wish to change the physical look of the keys as well, get in touch with Apple and ask if they can replace the keyboard.

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

How can I change a calendar event color?

Hi,
Just spent too much time trying to figure this out, but how can I change events colors in my calendar?
I'm not talking about the color of a calendar, this affects all events, but event per event.
And I don't want to set multiple calendars.
One calendar, different events with different colors...
Please don't tell me that such a basic feature is not available when it is in bad amateur freewares...
Thanks for any help
P.S. Please disregard answers like "why don't you want multiple calendars", etc...

Anyone with a solution for that basic feature?

How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

I originally set up my apple account by spelling my email address incorrectly. how can i change it? it says that i need to verify from the email they sent but the email address is incorrect!

Help. I need to change my apple account and don't have access to my old email, how can i change this - how do i verify that it is me.

You set up email accounts on the iPad in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account. You have a choice of some of the most popular email providers in the setup list or you can select Other at the bottom.
Tap on the provider that is applicable and begin the setup on the iPad.

HT204053 there is a new email on my phone apple id when I try to make an app purchase my own apple id does not work. How does this happen and how can I change it back?

There is a new email address on my phone in the apple id password box. My password will not work. How did this happen and how can I change it back?

Of course your password shouldn't work on a different Apple ID. This can happen for many reasons, no worries, just sign out back back in using your own ID.

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

Anyone?

HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
killall SystemUIServer
You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.
