How do I change the size of my icons and text

I just purchased a new iMac 21.5 The display font and text are too small to read comfortably. How do I adjust the display, icons and text?

Hi there.
Just do a 'Right Click' on the desktop and a menu will appear.
Choose 'Show View Options' at the bottom of the list and all the options are there for you to alter as you wish.
Cheers

How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

Okay, I haven't found a way to add an extra space using Find/replace, but you might be able to add some text wrap to the check boxes that will push the text away from them.
Open Find/Replace and click the Object tab.
Click the Specify attributes to find button to the right of the Find Object Format: field.
Under Basic Attributes, choose Stroke and then the Black swatch (assuming the black swatch is applied to the strokes of your check boxes). If there are no other stand-alone objects in your form with a Black stroke, this should be all you need. (If there are Black strokes on your table cells, they will be ignored.)
Click OK
Click the Specify attributes to change button to the right of the Change Object Format: field.
Under Basic Attributes, choose Text Wrap & Other > Text Wrap > Type: > Wrap around bounding box (2nd button from left)
Under Offset, set a Right offset at the distance you'd like to add (I don't know what units you use, but the 3-5 points might work for your purposes...might take some trial-and-error to get it where you want)
Click OK
Click Change All

How do I change the size of a Spry Input Text field box?

I created an email reply box, and then I created a reply message box. How do I change the size of each box independantly of each other? All I have is one set of Spry CSS rules!
Oh, and the Working with the Validation Text Rule widget file in the Help Resource Center only covers changing the background color - Ugh!

If I understand your question, you want to change the size of the input field that has spry validation?
Spry has nothing to do with it, add a size to the field
<input name="textfield1" type="text" id="textfield1" size="45" />
<input name="textfield2" type="text" id="textfield2" size="25" />

How can I change to size of a book and keep all the layouts I have created?

How can I change the size of a book and use the layout that I have already chosen (I accidently laid the book out for a larger size book than what I acctually wanted)?

Just in case of problems duplicate the book (select it and edit ==> duplicate or Command=D) and then click on themes and select the same theme in theprper size - verify that everything worked (sometime different sized text blocks cause minor problems that require attention) and preview it -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
then order

How do you change the size of pictures?

Hello,
I'm a new Mac user. How do you change the size of pictures in iPhoto? Sometimes when sending e-mails, the picture files are extremely large and take a long time to load... Is there any way you can make the picture or file smaller? Like on a PC, you can open the photo in the Paint program and just reduce the size... Is there anything like this for the Mac?
Thanks!

Assuming that you're accessing your email package from INSIDE iPhoto, you're given a choice of picture sizes. Personally, I've found "medium" to be a good compromise but you might prefer "small" (iPhoto will tell you the file size).
If you don't know what I'm talking about, first go iPhoto Preferences > General and select your email client. Then, go to the View menu and select Show in Toolbar > Email.

How do I change the size of the tools and the text for the menus in Photoshop? I need a magnifying glass in order to make out what they are.

Okay, I've figured it out, so I'm going to answer my own question in hopes that it may help anyone else that would like to actually be able to see what they're doing when using Photoshop CC 2014 on a high resolution screen.
1. Open Photoshop.
2. Select Preferences from the Edit Menu, then select General.
3. Change the HUD Color Picker to Hue Strip (Medium).
4. Select Interface from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
5. Change the UI Font Size to Large in the Text area of the Preferences dialog box.
6. Select Experimental Features from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
7. Select Scale UI 200% for high-density displays (Windows only).
8. Click on OK, then Exit/Quit Photoshop.
9. Open Photoshop and everything should be readable.

How do i change the size of the flexible space in tool bar

if the feature, "flexible space", to customize the tool bar is truly "flexible", then how do i change the size of it?

still doesn't make sense to me. this is what i've done...first of all, i installed FF4 and didn't like it. but i did play around with some of the toolbar settings to try to get rid of the new "add-on bar" at the bottom. so i went back to FF3.6 and continued to play with the toolbar settings. i put the google search in the menu bar, but wanted to space it to the left, off the right margin. that's when i discovered the "flex space". you can indeed put the flex space in the menu bar to shift an item (button OR google search box) to the left or right. where i run into an issue is, in order to shift an item from, let's say the far right margin to the center, i would have to insert multiple flex spaces or i could also use the other "space". although, the "space" is two or three times as wide as the "flexible space". maybe the trouble that i'm having is the name"flexible space" which seems to imply that item has a flexible width. both "flexible space" and "space" do exactly the same thing, except "space" is wider than "flexible space". am i right? did i miss something? here is a screenshot to illustrate.

How do you change the size of a photo in a document?

TextEdit is not a very sophisticated program. As far as I know, there's no way to resize an image on the fly in TextEdit, so you'll have to follow Shotgun00's advice.
I would advise not using TextEdit for anything real. Buy yourself a copy of Pages from the App Store instead, you'll be much happier with its capabilities if you intend to create complex documents containing images and text.

How can i change the size of PDF files ?

how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).
