How do you make all your icons on desktop and elsewhere show size etc?

Hi,
I can't remember how to show my disk size or how many items are in a folder. I have this feeling it's to do with Finder Preferences. You know how you have your hard drive listed and it will say 60GB in size or a folder in finder will say 14 items.

Malcolm,
Thanks, that's the tip I was trying to remember.

How do you make all your tabs appear on all your devices

Everything seems to by syncing correctly, notes, email, messages, but I cannot see all my tabs in safari on all my devices. Is there something I have to do to turn them on?

How do you make all your pictures the same size when making a movie?

I am putting together a presentation with jpeg images and .mov files and when they play together in the movie, the .mov do not fill the screen like the jpeg images (which were put together in a movie) - any ideas?

Mixing image and QuickTime video formats is a fun way to build custom movies. You need only understand the best method of organizing your project before starting in QuickTime Pro.
Your image files should be sized to match your video dimensions. Scaling the video up in dimensions will degrade the video quality and you don't want that. Best to edit your JPEG files to the dimension and orientation of your video. Best to "crop" images that are shot in "portrait" mode and scale down in dimension those shot in "landscape" mode so you don't bloat the file size unnecessarily.
When adding images to QuickTime files it's best to add them "scaled" to the audio track portion of the file. Since you also want to add existing "movies" I'm guessing you already have an audio track to use as a background track.
Is this true? Are you using an audio track as the source for your image files and then dropping the existing movies into that finished project?

How do you make all outgoing mail on iPhone come from one default address?

I have multiple Apple devices which include laptop, iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s. I use several email accounts for my business. How do you make the default outgoing email address one the iPhones one email address like you can on the laptop? I want the outgoing email address to be the same on all devices.

Thank you. I think I got it for the 4 but not for the 4S. In mail, contacts, calendars, do you choose default account? Also, there does not appear to be a choice like this for the icloud. How do you change the default on it? The best I can see is icloud to account to advanced to mail to icloud account information. On that screen there is a box that says allow sending from and the only choices you have are the icloud account and me account. I do not see how to add another account if that is the right section. I don't want the icloud or the me to be a return address.
Thanks in advance.

Received new mac how do you get all your information from old mac?

Received a new mac for my daughter. How do you get all the information from old mac?

Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant when your shiny new Mac first starts up (not Migration Assistant later).

How do you make it print first page first and not the last page first?

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600. How do I make the first page print first and not the last page printing first?

Hi,
From the application used to print open the print dialog and click Oroperties or Preferences to access the Printing Preferences screen.
From the Layout tab set Page Order as Back to Front, then the first page will be printed first.

How do you make a spreadsheet or cells secure and private?

In using numbers, I want to make a spreadsheet secure (limited access). How do you do this ..... Or how do you make the cells within it secure?

Password protect the file (although there's some doubt as to the strength of that protection).
save the file to an encrypted Disk Image. See Mac Help in the Finder's Help menu for details.
There's no way to fully protect the cells of an open document. Numbers provides for locking "objects," but cells themselves are not objects. Tables are, objects, so you can lock a complete table. That prevents changes to the table until it is unlocked, but does not prevent changes to other tables in the document, nor does it prevent any used from unlocking the table then editing it.
Jerry has offered a technique which may be used to guard against inadvertent changes to individual cells. You can read it in his responses in Hold Table Position in a Sheet.

Barry

How do you transfer all your files to an external hard drive?

I have an external hard drive and tried to move all my files and documents onto it. The guy at the apple store told me to just drag my user into the hard drive (the icon with the house next to it when you go into Macintosh HD) but it said it could not do that. So i tried to drag just one word document into it and it still had the error. I tried from a PC and it worked fine. Could it be that this external hard drive only works with a PC and Microsoft Operating Systems? Do I need to buy an external hard drive that is only for a Mac??
Please help!!!!

This is not unusual
Quick question, have you formatted the drive using the mac disk utilities?
If you need it to be accessed from both windows and mac, then make sure it's formatted as FAT32 or FAT Extended.
If you uses osx journaled, then the windows computer cannot read it.
When you've done this, then try and drag your files across.
Two words of warning though.
1 when you format a drive, you erase all data on it, so make sure you have copies.
2 FAT32 has a max file size of 4GB, so if you have files larger than that, format as FAT Extended.

How do you make all bookmarks open in safari when launched?

Hello Apple community! New mac user here. I really want to know how to automatically have all bookmarks opened after launching safari. Thanks so much!

There is no way to open "all" bookmarks at launch
But you can open a group of them at launch as tabs.
Click the Book icon in the Bookmarks Bar.
Click Bookmarks Bar in the side bar
At the bottom left of the right side pane there is + sign. Click on it.
A new folder will be created. Name it.
Checkmark the box under the column "Auto-Click".
The new folder will appear in the Bookmarks Bar
Add your favorites to it.
Click "Add Bookmark" in the Safari toolbar and select the new folder.
When you launch Safari, items in that folder will appear as tabs when you
click on that folder in the Bookmarks Bar.
Best,

How can you restore ALL your photos back into your iphone after changing your icloud plan to 20GB?!? It ruined my photos and videos, and I don't even know if I have them anymore!!!

Okay. I recently changed my icloud storage plan to 20GB, for $0.99 a month, to have more room in my phone. After that, I realized a lot of my videos were acting up and wouldn't play. I honestly don't know what I did, nor that I can remember, but I tried to play around a little with my phone to see if anything would work again. Then I ended up storing more than HALF of my photos and videos in my icloud storage, and now I can't seem to get them back into my regular iphone stream! I can't see ANY of the pictures/videos stored in icloud, but it tells me that I have 377 photos and 16 videos stored in icloud, and 2.2GB are used, and I could only see 33 photos, and 8 videos in my phone! I want to know how I could UNDO all this, and put EVERYTHING back in my iphone storage, and OFF of icloud! icloud confuses me a lot. I'll just stick with 5GB. HELPP PLEASE!!!
And also, I want to know WHYYYYY I have to keep downloading my videos before playing them!

That's fine.
It takes forever to shut down and to star up (compared to when it was new with snow leopard) .. Some programs are now running slow (iMovie, Photoshop) and very often it just doesn’t respond so i have to turn it off the hard way loosing what I was working on.
Have you tested in a fresh user account, or in Safe Mode ?
A clean install is rarely necessary, and may not even solve the problem. If you plan to do a clean install and migrate, you defeat the purpose of a clean install.
If you do a clean install you'll also need to replace your iLife apps from the disks that shipped with your Mac, they're on Disk 2.

Hello gentlemen how are you. All your base are belong to us ????

My X server just shut down leaving me with a black screen full of messages, mostly relating to vlc.
In the middle of all this was the above message.
Do we have a developer with a sense of humour or is this something I should be worried about?
I never run the system as root although I usually leave a root terminal open.
Bizarre.

This is ringing many, many bells with openbox.
*scratches head*
*greps openbox source*
-> grep -r "your base are" *
Binary file openbox/.libs/openbox matches
openbox/mainloop.c: fprintf(stderr, "How are you gentlemen? All your base are"
Binary file openbox/openbox_openbox-mainloop.o matches
->
Hm, maybe someone decided to get all funny with their error messages like the OB devs did... or maybe it was the other way around.
The most likely cause is that this message is a SIGSEGV (segmentation fault) trap - a message that is printed to std{out|err} when the app crashes, since OB prints the AYB when it's crashed too.
You can actually segfault apps manually with `kill -SIGSEGV <PID>' or killall -SIGSEGV <processname>'

How do you manage all your vector and image resources?

I plan to reuse many images and vector arts I've created. As of now, if I want to reuse an image or vector, i have to oepn the file and copy/paste image vector. Is there a faster way than this? Is there a manager I do not know of?
Thanks!

You nissed an important part of the video if you hold the shift key when you drag and drop then the artt or image is embedded. If you do not hold any keys while drag and drop then it will be linked you have a choice.
The bridge offers you much more flexibility and information about the file as well include=ing the metadata, also you missed the point about the fact that as part of ID and Photoshop then have a panel, like any other panel, that accesses the Bridge, it is called the mini bridge. So you only would launch Illustrator and access the mini brif=dgte if it had the feature.
But since it does not have the feature like ID or PS then you need them both visible. I happen to always keep the bridge active in the background and bring it to the front when I need it with a keyboard short cut.
But as you are suggesting because you are not use to this work flow you have a hard time relating, but it is a powerful tool thaat allows you to work with many auto feaatures of PS, FW, AI etc.
All you have to do is read about the Bridge in the help files or check out the Bridge Forum and ask about the fetures and you will find it an incredibly powerful tool that will saave you time and many headaches.
