  • How do you change image size in the title window?

    I just changed operating systems to Windows 7, which meant that I had to re install Premiere Pro CS4. I am now working on a 64 bit system. Might not make any difference, but thought I would give you the specifics just in case.  When I pull up the title window to add a title to my clip, the image is about the size of a postage stamp. How do I increase the size of the image in that window?

    Thank you again for responding Hunt. I did find out what what was happening.
    I had to reinstall the program on my computer. I just upgraded to Windows 7, and I now have a 64 bit system. When I booted up PPCS4, I assumed that my settings would be the same as they were before when I had Vista installed and didn't bother to check them when I started a new project. Well, they were not. I also added a TV tuner card to my computer. I now can watch HD TV on my computer. I suppose that it is possible that somehow PPCS4 noticed that, and set my default settings to HD, rather than NTSC DV. I just merrily went along clicking the OK button and started editing. When I start a new project now, I select NTSC DV and the Title window works just fine, and exactly the way I expect it to.
    I just received Jeff Bellune's book Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 in the mail and will be totally immersed in Encore studies today. With all of his children, I don't see how he had time to write it, but I'm glad that he did. I also ordered a book entitled Designing Menus with Encore DVD. I know that it was written for an earlier version than CS4, but I will trust what you said about that. Many things are the same with some minor variations due to upgrades in the program. The basic ideas don't change, but how you accomplish them can, and usually do over time.

    Subject: how do you change image size in the title window?
    Welcome to the forum.
    That is an odd one. The Title should be the same Frame Size as your Project/Sequence. What is it's Frame Size? Also, are you perhaps doing a Title based on an older Template, that was done for a different Frame Size?
    What happens if you choose Title>New Title>Default Still?
    Good luck,

    How do you change the name of your phone?  I am having that horrible problem of my phone suddenly not working (no audio) with my Bluetooth (apparently due to the most recent update) and nothing has worked thus far to try to restore it....some one recommended I change the name of my phone and then try to sync it with my car...

    Thank you...this was a suggestion from a blog regarding the Bluetooth problem that has resulted from the most recent upgrade---lost the audio capabilities suddenly in my car as have other people and there is nothing that Apple has had me do that has restored it!  I am not a very happy camper regarding this dilemma!  thank you for your help though!

  • HT201342 How do you change passwords in email accounts??? Just got new iPhone and no record of previous passwords.....

    How do you change passwords in email accounts?? Have new iPhone and no record of previous passwords. Dumb I know but I'm in a real bind.....

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.  (Your iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.)  If you don't have access to your old email account and can't use security question authentication to reset your password, you'll have to do one of the following to turn off Find My iPhone so you can chang the iCloud account on your phone:
    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • How do you change your password in the new BT Mail

    I have 3 email addresses (master and two sub accounts) which I like to change the passwords on from time to time. From within BT Mail I am unable to find an option to change the password. There is a link to Manage your emails which takes you to My BT. When I enter My BT and enter the Manage BT mail I am presented with a list of my emails. One of them shows an option to change password, the other two have option to add to BT ID. I tried adding these to BT ID but get an error message telling me that this can't be done. I then contacted BT support, big mistake, after the support tech took over my machine and subsequently began changing passwords on accounts I lost access to my emal and My BT. I have now got access to all areas again but the passwords on the two sub accounts are the passwords that the tech put in there, hardly secure? Anybody know how to change the passwords if sub accounts are not linked to your BT ID?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It appears flytothemoon found a work around for part of this problem below. I have to say this is another large oversight for BT and their email providing partners. Did anyone actually test the new system before it was rolled out?

  • How do i change artist name in the iphone?

    So I downloaded a CD I got for christmas onto itunes and I changed the artists name on the album and when I put it on my iphone it didnt transfer and now it says unknown artist when I already have another album by the same person on my iphone. Please Help?

    Sounds like you didn't complete all of the needed tags in iTunes. Delete it from the phone, go back to itunes on your computer and make sure the Album artist is completed. Then resync.

    iTunes is your answer. YES! iTunes... edit your info on your account in iTunes and it should work.

  • How do i change my name in Leopard so that it changes it everywhere?

    When first configuring my new MacBook Pro, it asked me for my name and i put in my First and Last name (so that it registers it correctly), but now every time i want to install something or it asks for a name, Leopard automatically places my first and last name into the fields (sometimes i can't even changed it).
    I'm wondering how i am able to do so, i just want to use my first name, so that my last name is no longer on the system.
    Thanks.
    Saeid.
    Ps. I have gone into account, and just set my first name, but still i see my whole name under networks (when selecting sharing)

    After you changed your account name, all of the password boxes only show your first name, right? To fix the networking issue, open System Preferences and go to the Sharing Tab. Change the computer name at the top from John Doe's Computer to whatever you want. Hope this helps!

  • I already reset the phone but it is still showing on find my iphone app

    I know all about the icloud activation thing. so when I sold an iphone 5, I did a reset all content and settings.  What I dont understand is, it is still on my find my iphone application.  Does this mean if the new owner reset her iPhone, it will go to activation and ask for my password again?  If the new owner sets up her icloud account on the iPhone 5, then the iphone is now registered to 2 icloud accounts?

    Sign in on www.icloud.com, choose the find my iPhone icon, locate the phone, choose remote wipe, then remove the device from your account.  That will prevent the activation lock from enabling on the person you sold the phone to.

  • How do I change my Mail photo id tag that shows up in other mac users mail?

    I looked around for what I thought was the obvious places like system preferences in Mail and accounts. I do not have a login setting to my mac since I'm the only one using it so I have no log in photo. The pic that is up is of me when I first got my mac and I'd like to update it. Where can I edit that outgoing photo of me which is ugly that shows up in emails I send to mac users?! Thanks, Matt

    Mail isn't sending the photo. The Address Book photos are put on incoming mail that matches a user in the Address Book. You need to retouch your photo in the other users' Address Books.
    It is possible other users could be getting your picture from a server. From Address Book's Help:
    "A picture can appear in a contact’s card even though you haven’t added a picture yourself. If a picture whose filename matches the contact’s email address and whose file extension is .tiff (such as [email protected]) is located on your computer in a folder named Library/Images/People, or is located on a computer or server you’re connected to in a /Library/Images/People folder, the picture will automatically appear in Address Book, Mail, iChat and other applications where the contact’s email address is used."
