How do you change the startup volume when you turn on your mac?

Is there a control panel to change the chimes sound in system preferences or something? I'm not wanting to mute it completely but make it a little quieter. Resetting the PRAM only brings it to max volume. Thanks guys!

I think this might answer your question:

You could adjust the mailnews.tcptimeout preference, as explained in the 2nd point in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Can_not_send_large_attachments this article]. Also, make sure there's no security program scanning outgoing mail attachments.

How can I change the startup language when I use the internet?

I have the macbook pro that i have just bought in Russia. The reason I bought it here is because I wanted to have both the English and Russian letters on the keyboard. Apart from that I don't care much for the Russian system, since I have always used an American version mac.
Anyway, on to the question. I have English and Russian setup as my two input languages on the computer. I know how to switch between them, and everything is fine. But, I have come across a problem that I never encountered before as all my macs have been purchased in America before this one. Every time I open a new internet window, tab, new program such as skype, it is always the Russian language that is selected, even if I have been using the American keyboard prior to that. It starts getting frustrating, especially when I get used to to typing something, and then without looking continue to type in a different page and look up to see a bunch of Russian letters making no sense.
I hope there is a solution to that, and I won't just have to get annoyed with this for the rest of my relationship with my new macbook pro!

How do you change the email destination when you forgot your security question?

Hey! First of all, Thank you for noticing my post! Haha
Alright.. Soo.. This Apple ID was made a long time ago since my iPhone 5 was bought. I was planning to buy an ingame item but Vertification was needed so I was like yeah ok sure. XD Then it started giving me Security questions.
I'm extremely sure I forgot both of the answers to my Security Questions so I decided to change it.
I Went to Appleid.apple.com, logged in successfully, pressed the forgot the answer and it was said to sent to a YAHOO Email.
I used to have this Yahoo Email but I forgot about it since Yahoo decided to deactivate due to inactivement so now I can't change my security answers so I can't proceed with my purchase.
I was wondering if there's a way to change the email ( yahoo ) to my current gmail since I'm way more active on it and I
can access it easier..?

How do you change the alarm volume, how do you change the alarm volume

How do you change the alarm volume on a iPhone 5C?

You can change it in Settings > Sounds > Ringer and Alerts (or with the buttons on the side of the phone if you have "Change with Buttons" turned on in that same section of Settings > Sounds).
Note that this change is not specific to the Alarm -- it will change the volume of incoming calls and other alerts as well as the alarm.
I have found it works better for me to set the sound at the volume I want it to be for incoming calls and then to find an Alarm sound that works best with that volume level. Without changing the volume, some Alarm sounds seem louder or quieter (or at least more or less irritating). You select the sound when setting the alarm and the sound selected will then be the default on future alarms.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I do not recommend you to disable the startup sound. It indicates hardware problems when your computer is not working correctly, so it is important to leave it turned on. What you can do is to reduce the volume in OS X.
Anyway, if you want to disable the startup sound, the easiest way is to turn off the volume in OS X.

I am trying to use the brightness adjustment on a grayscale photoshop CS6 file. The preview shows the adjustment working and changes the brightness, but when you click to apply the change, it does not apply the adjustment. I have run into this problem before, although rarely, with some other files over the years and with earlier versions of CS. I would like to know how to overcome this problem?

Make sure you are viewing your image at 100%. At smaller views, pixels and layers and the way they interact are approximate interpolations and won't show you the actual pixel-for-pixel changes.

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_1.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage?

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_2.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage_2?

When you drag images from iPhoto to iWeb, iWeb retains the original filename.
When you use a mask, iWeb creates a png file with the shapeimage name.
So do not use a mask and crop your images before dropping them on the iWeb canvas.
When you use an irregularly shaped mask, then png files are created. They have to be png because of the transparency of the shape.
You can use a 3rd party application to create the png images yourself, and give them a proper name.
Or use the published png files, rename them and drop them back onto the iWeb canvas, while first removing the previous images.

Hi Eslam El-Gammal,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that after resetting your iPhone, you are being prompted for Apple ID information that is not yours. This can happen if an iPhone is restored without turning off the Find My Phone feature. For more information on this, please refer to the attached article.

How can I change the settings so when I delete an email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad.....very sick of deleting the same emails two times

How can I change the settings wit mail so that when I delete my Verizon email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad too.... Seems like I shouldn't have to delete my email in three places...iPhone ..iPad ...and desktop

Don't know which email host you are using, but if this is a POP account, you can't do it. If IMAP, then deleting one email should delete it on all other devices.

How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
Thanks.

This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.
