How do I shrink the size of a window on my desktop when online?

I have a Mac desktop. I used to be able to go to the edge of the window or bottom or corner with my cursor and get a image that I could click and hold to change the size of my open window. I have unloaded and reloaded Firefox but still can't work. Called Apple and went to Safari and it works. Where did it go?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it??? At the moment, if I view them on my laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part.

How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture. Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!

Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there.
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

How do I shrink the size of the white area box to see more of the persona?

I would like to shrink the white area of the home page, so that most of the persona shows. All I use the white area for is the search feature, and the rest is blank. I asked a similar question before, but it was too technical to understand. Now, I can't even return to that answer.
I would like to have a more customizable web page, where I can move, re-size, or even delete parts of it. Mostly, I would like to see the persona, which is pretty. A programmable home page, which could use something like Print Shop or other greeting card setups, would be good.
I do not think I am the only one who does not understand the written instructions for this. I tried to follow them, but I messed up the design even more. Please look at Optimum Online, which has video tutorials, where someone actually shows you what to do and talks you through it. I set up my Optimum Online and Cablevision settings with that.

Personas decorate the Toolbar area ''(and maybe the Status bar at the bottom)'' of the Firefox browser window - the UserInterface; the "white area" below the Personas is the content area where the web page is displayed. Having a "more customizable web page" wouldn't do anything to display more of the Persona image. If you want a "customizable homepage" where you can move content around the page or add and remove items, find a web page like that and set that as your homepage in Firefox. You can any web page that you want as your "Homepage", you can even have multiple "homepages" in separate Tabs.<br />
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
If you want to see more of the Persona image vertically, you need to add some toolbars via the Toolbar Customize mode or by installing some Toolbar extensions that add a Toolbar to the Firefox UI. You need to add something to every new toolbar that you add, even a blank '''Space'''; if you don't place anything on a newly created Toolbar it will disappear when you exit the Customize mode. <br />

How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents. When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
"The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
The document is not read only and no other user has it open. If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes. I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
Best,

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.

By mistake, I shrink the size of a particular page, which firefox then remembers. How do I get the size back to normal?

When moving around on websites, somehow I manage to shrink the size of what is shown on the screen. I have not figured out how to get the size back to 'normal'. However, Firefox remembers this so when I reenter this particular size, it will still be in the smaller format. Very frustrating and as this has happened for at least two of my most watched sites, I am more and more using competing formats, e.g. Explorer.
I have alsl asked more experienced users of Internet to try to solve this but they are as lost as I am.
Looking forward to getting your advice.
Best regards,

You can hit CTRL++ to zoom. Or install these add-ons:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zoom-page/

The letters on my firefox is getting smaller everytime i'm on it. how can i restore the size and how do I stop it from shrinking?

the letters are shrinking and i can barely read them. how do i restore the size and how do i prevent this from happening?

In case it is zoom, you can try resetting the zoom level by pressing Ctrl+0 (that Ctrl and zero). Zoom can be changed by scrolling the mouse wheel while holding the Ctrl key. There also seen to be some touchpad swiping techniques that can change zoom even without holding the Ctrl key. If you can figure out what's causing it, there might be a way to turn it off.
If resetting zoom doesn't restore the text size, does it affect all sites? Particular fonts?

How to shrink the size of JRE?

Hi,
I wrote a simple Java utlity that performs some business logic for my clients. It is going to run on Windows environments. I created a .exe for this Java application. Obviously It also needs JRE. I made sure that JRE is also shipped along with this application. But the size of JRE is around 70 MB. Is there anyway to shrink the size of JRE? What is best practice for such a thing?
Thanks in advance,
Mustafa

I'm not sure what the licensing implications are of customizing your own derivative of Sun's JRE, presuming that's the one you're using. If the agreement permits, you could remove classes you know that you won't use from the runtime JAR.
Your best bet, though, sounds like using a Java-to-native compiler. There are a number of applications out there that could produce a Windows executable from your Java code and, since you know it's only going to be run on Windows machines, you lose very little if anything by going through this process.
Best of luck.

Can I shrink the size of a form text box based on the content?

We are helping a customer migrate from some MS Word forms to use pdf forms. We are screenscraping the data from an AS400 green screen system and populating these new pdf forms with data. however some of the text boxes are in the middle of a sentence and the text box needs to be large enough to fit 50 characters but there are many times when the data we are entering is much less than 50. The resulting document looks very strange with all of that extra white space in the middle of a sentence due to the size of the text box.
So can we somehow shrink the size of the text box to fit the number of characters in the box?
I considered making the box smaller and setting the font size to auto but I think that would look even more strange to have a word with smaller font in the middle of a sentence.
Thanks,
Trent

Sorry, I should have mentioned I am using acrobat professional 9. I see that I can change the size of the text field when I am designing the form but what I don't see is how to dynamically change the size of the text field based on what data is put inside it.
Thanks,

How can i make the size of my document that i created smaller so that i can email it easier

The 5 page document I created and need to send is 1.7MB. I need it to be 250KB to send using the format requested. All the info needs to be sent. How can i shrink the data by such a large amount to enable the document to send? I am on Windows 7 and using AcrobatXI

Depending on the content you may be asking for a lot. From within Acrobat the two options to do this are PDF Optimize or Reduce File Size. The location of these options vary among menus based on version. In some versions they are under the File>Save As options (AA XI). The PDF Optimize also has an audit that helps you determine the source of the bloat. If you used WORD to create the PDF, a first step in a smaller file size is to print to the Adobe PDF printer to avoid all the tagging and other markup. Of course, that is a compromise if you had wanted the bookmarks and all.

To shrink the size of TEMP tablespace

Dear all,
There is a databse with RAC, now in OEM the size of TEMP tablespace has been reached at 99.9%. now we want to shrink the size of TEMP tablespace.
how to we do that???????
plz help me...........

Temporary tablespaces usually show they are full, however this space is not actually in use. It is rather allocated. Oracle has evaluated the best way to obtain the most of performance, and he said it is better to allocate once than allocate-deallocate-reallocate extents, so temporary space is not 'released'.
If you want to feel psychologically more confortable with lower allocated space, you can drop your tablespace (create an interim default temporary tablespace first) and recreate it.
You can also rebuild temporary datafiles:
alter tablespace temp add tempfile 'C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.dbf' size 32m;
SQL> select name from v$tempfile;
NAME
C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP.DBF
C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.DBF
SQL> alter database tempfile 'C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.DBF' drop including datafiles;
Database altered.

How do I reduce the size of photos to use on website?

Thanks to the helpful person who recommended I use Rapidweaver to build a website, I am slowly getting somewhere. It is so simple and just like Apple applications that I think I can do this.
My problem now is that when I tried to transfer a photo from iPhoto to the draft website page it comes across so large it fills the page.
How do I reduce the size of photos so that I can bring them across? I need to show about 20 photos on the web pages. Do they need to be in a different format and if so how do I change it to the appropriate one?
Many thanks.

Hi Casuarina,
Go to this site and click on the Desktop Version Quicktime movie for a small tutorial. It will explain everything to you and you can see how you resize right within Rapid Weaver. It's really quite nifty.

How Can I Determine the Size of the 'My Documents' Folder for every user on a local machine using VBScript?

Hello,
I am at my wits end into this. Either I am doing it the wrong way or it is not possible.
Let me explain. I need a vb script for the following scenario:
1. The script is to run on multiple Windows 7 machines (32-Bit & 64-Bit alike).
2. These are shared workstation i.e. different users login to these machines from time to time.
3. The objective of this script is to traverse through each User Profile folder and get the size of the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder. This information is to be written to a
.CSV file located at C:\Temp directory on the machine.
4. This script would be pushed to all workstations from SCCM. It would be configured to execute with
System Rights
I tried the script detailed at:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/03/31/how-can-i-determine-the-size-of-the-my-documents-folder.aspx
Const MY_DOCUMENTS = &H5&
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCUMENTS)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
strPath = objFolderItem.Path
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size
The Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size command in the script at the above mentioned link returned the value as
'0' (zero) for the current logged on user. Although the actual size was like 30 MB or so.
I then tried the script at:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Script/Q_27869829.html
This script returns the correct value but only for the current logged-on user.
Const blnShowErrors = False
' Set up filesystem object for usage
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Display desired folder sizes
Wscript.Echo "MyDocuments : " & FormatSize(FindFiles(objFSO.GetFolder(objShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments"))))
' Recursively tally the size of all files under a folder
' Protect against folders or files that are not accessible
Function FindFiles(objFolder)
On Error Resume Next
' List files
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:01", objFolder.Path
On Error Resume Next
FindFiles = FindFiles + objFile.Size
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:02", objFile.Path
Next
If Err.Number = 0 Then
' Recursively drill down into subfolder
For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:04", objFolder.Path
FindFiles = FindFiles + FindFiles(objSubFolder)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:05", objSubFolder.Path
Next
Else
ShowError "FindFiles:03", objFolder.Path
End If
End Function
' Function to format a number into typical size scales
Function FormatSize(iSize)
aLabel = Array("bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB")
For i = 0 to 4
If iSize > 1024 Then iSize = iSize / 1024 Else Exit For End If
Next
FormatSize = Round(iSize, 2) & " " & aLabel(i)
End Function
Sub ShowError(strLocation, strMessage)
If blnShowErrors Then
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine "==> ERROR at [" & strLocation & "]"
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " Number:[" & Err.Number & "], Source:[" & Err.Source & "], Desc:[" & Err.Description & "]"
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " " & strMessage
Err.Clear
End If
End Sub
The only part pending, is to achieve this for the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder.
Is this possible?
Please help.

Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances. Take your pick.
