How do I increase the size of icons within Word and other apps on my MacBook Pro

Trouble reading icons on top of menu bars etc...ie Microsoft Word and even Apple software.   How can I get the text  larger over all on my 15" MacBook Pro?
?

The icons in the menu bar and text can be increased by using a different display ratio. System Preferences>Displays. Try 1344x840 or 1280x800.

  • How do I increase the size of the text on the toolbar?

    How do I increase the size of the toolbar text, please?  For some reason, it's now very tiny, and everything I do only increases the font size of whichever web sites I access (which is not what I'm wanting to accomplish). 
    Thanks in advance for any help in this. Actually, I'm wondering what I might have done that would make the toolbar so tiny?

    Do  you mean the menu bar at the very top of your screen?
    If so, open System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
    Try a different resolution.

  • Apple Mail (Mavericks), Viewing size of list is too small.how do you increase the size of the email message list.  The font is too small, I can hardly read them.

    In Apple Mail, using Mavericks, how do you increase the size of the email message list that displays on the left side of the screen?
    The font size is so small.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for responding.  After investigating and checking further, it was clear that only one of your suggestions changes the font size of the list of emails, also called the In-box.  And that is the display resolution.
    However, changing the display resolution affects the dots per inch of everything, everywhere and makes it larger.
    Given the high end fee Apple charges for their products, and the generally well developed software they provide, it is hard to imagine they have not corrected this obvious slight of effort on the inbox text. At times Apple's "one-size-fits-all" and "it's our way or no way" mentality astounds me and makes me want to run back to Microsoft.
    Evidently this is a well known mistake, which has yet to receive any attention.
    Again, thank you for your effort and assistance on my behalf.

  • How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite?

    How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite especially indesign, photoshop, illustrator on a new Apple retina display 2560 x 1140 with out changing/scaleing my screen resolution down?

    While some applications let you change the font size of the UI (notably Photoshop in Interface Preferences), others do not yet (like InDesign).
    You'll need to make your request using this form for it to be seen by the product manager(s):
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Make a good case because there are hundreds (thousands?) of things people request InDesign to do.

  • My performance is very slow when I run graphs. How do I increase the speed at which I can do other things while the data is being updated and displayed on the graphs?

    I am doing an an aquisition and displaying the data on graphs. When I run the program it is slow. I think because I have the number of scans to read associated with my scan rate. It takes the number of seconds I want to display on the chart times the scan rate and feeds that into the number of samples to read at a time from the AI read. The problem is that it stalls until the data points are aquired and displayed so I cannot click or change values on the front panel until the updates occur on the graph. What can I do to be able to help this?

    It may also be your graphics card. LabVIEW can max the CPU and you

  • HT4889 how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air

    how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

    thanks but exactly how do I do this.  I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through.  I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
    Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder.  I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

    MagSave, yes. Other ports cannot be safely cleaned although you can blow air in to clean out dust.

  • I upgraded my 3rd gen iTouch to iOS 5.1.1 and now its speed to repond is slower and the battery goes flat quicker than before the upgrade. Skype, Sky iCloud and other apps are turned off (I think). Has anybody else suffered with this? Any ideas?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • How do I change the size of file menu's and tool icons in Photoshop' opening page.

    How do I increase or change the size of file menu's and tool icons on the opening page/worksheet of Photoshop? The File Menu drop down commands read properly at a comfortable size. I am not sure how I accomplished this, but everything I have tried has no effect on the other page items.

    Hello, you can change most of Photoshop's interface text by going to preferences>interface>UI font size.
    For the size of the top menus and the whole interface, there is no function to do that for the moment. I suggest to vote on this thread: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/problem_with_hi_res_monitors

    how do i increase the letter size on the screen

    I have vision issues and changing the desktop resolution on my 27-inch iMac from the default of 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 fixed the problem for me. Everything is still sharp, something that won't happen if you do control + scroll.
    You change the desktop res by going to System Preferences > Displays and selecting 1920x1080 from the list
