How do you replace the main start up drive?

My main drive is full and I want to replace it with a larger drive. How do you go about upgrading the hard drive as a start up disk?

Stick a new drive in a free bay. Format it with Disk Utility. And then use a backup utility like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your current drive to the new drive essentially making them equivalent. Then change Startup Disk system preferences to use the new drive and reboot (from your new drive) and continue on your merry way.
Keep the original as a backup.

How do I replace the main SATA HD in my macbook pro 9,2 with an SSD?

Can anyone direct me to photo directions for replacing the main HD in my macbookpro? Do I need a caddy to install a 2.5 SSD? I am not trying to replace the superdrive, so those caddies are not what I am looking for. CAn I just install the SSD in the same space left for the main SATA drive without using any adapter?

You can install the SSD in the same bay as your current HDD. You don't need a caddy.
Here's a link on iFixit.com with pictures of how to replace the HDD on a Macbook Pro. Same instructions apply when replacing the HDD with an SSD. I recently replaced a 320GB HDD in my early-2011 13" MBP with an SSD. Very easy to do.

How do you reference the main timeline of swf1 from swf2 when swf2 is loaded into swf1?

on this link          http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/918/cpsid_91887.html
I found this script, but I can not use it can anyone help me
// create a variable to reference swf1's main timeline
var swf1Main_mc:MovieClip; // this assumes that swf1 is a movieclip.
// create your listener to ensure this loaded swf has been added to the display list and can therefore obtain a
// reference to its main timeline (which is always the main timeline of the loading swf).
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initF);
function initF(e:Event):void{
    swf1Main_mc = MovieClip(this.root);

You don't make it clear what event finish is for. But let's assume that your MC is being loaded from the clip that you're referring to as root. In the main Document Class of that swf, you'd have
protected var customSwf:CustomSwf;//customSwf is the Class that defines your functionInSwf1protected function someFunction():void {
     var loader:Loader = new loader();
     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE onLoaderLoaded);
     //rest of your loader loading code here
protected function onLoaderLoaded(e:Event):void {
      //add to display list (you already know how to do, so I'm not writing the code)
     EventDispatcher(e.target).removeEventListener(Event.Complete, onLoaderLoaded);
     //if you had a legitimate need for path (which you don't) in mcExternal, you'd set it like this:
     this.mcExternal.path = LoaderInfo(e.target).content as MovieClip;
      //this is what you actually need to care about to do this correctly
      customSwf = LoaderInfo(e.target).content as CustomSwf;
Now, the Class that you apply to the library symbol you're using for mcExternal should have code similar to this:
protected function fEvent(e:Event):void {
     dispatchEvent(new Event('giveYourEventADescriptiveNameBasedOnWhatYoureReallyDoingHere', true));
back in your main document Class:
//should probably call from the constructor or somewhere early in the process
protected function init():void {
     //use your real event name--your code isn't expressive enough I could guess a good name
     addEventListener('giveYourEventADescriptiveNameBasedOnWhatYoureReallyDoingHere', onEventHappened);
protected function onEventHappened(e:Event):void {
     customSwf.customFunctioninSwf1();
     customSwf.changeVisualState();//let custom swf change alpha and change the frame #
To the untrained I, this looks like about the same amount of code and slightly more trouble, but changing the design like this will make it much more tolerant of the changes that nearly all clients will want after you've built version 1. mcExternal's code doesn't have to change at all if swf1 changes, and your root Class already knows abotu swf1 anyway, since it's doing the loading, so having it work with it a little more doesn't hurt.
Moving the change of visual state into your custom swf means that changes in that swf won't affect your main document Class, though you will probably have to recompile the main document unless you go to using an Interface (a topic for another day).

How do you make the program start?

I have installed PSE 11 twice, now; the second time after an uninstallation of the first installation. Both times, the program started immediately FROM the installation. After exiting from the program, I have not been able to restart the program. I click on it; I double click on it (which should start 2 copies of the program!); I right click and click Open; I right click and click "open as administrator". Absolutely NOTHING happens. Is there some sort of glitch that means you have to leave the program open permanently? Please, how do I open the program?
Thank you.
Cherie Brumfield

Thanks so much for responding. As it happens, I had already tried that
approach, with no results. I also spent some time last evening with a tech
on the Adobe Chat page, also with no results. So I just reloaded my PSE 8
program, which does still work! And this morning I get a notice of an
Adobe update to PSE 11 and, guess what?!--NOW PSE 11 works just fine!! Go
figure!
All of which has nothing to do with you having responded to my plea for
help. I really appreciate someone responding; it's nice to know that
people "out there" really do care. Thank you.

How do you alter the event start time

The event start time always defaults to 5:00 pm. How do I change this.

Thanks for replying. Yes my event time is responding as you pointed out, however I' putting on a number of events at about 4:00 pm that all start about 8:30 am so it would be very useful if the default time could be set for a specific time. Thunderbird is version 31.5.0, I only started using this programme a few days ago and downloaded the Lightening Calendar at that time. Could not find how to find the version of Lightening perhaps you could help there as well. Regards

How do you establish the main title menu?

Like other posts I've check here, I can't get the first of my two menus to appear as the main "title" menu when I open the simulator. I've made sure it's listed first in the VTS and I've checked it as the main title menu in the overall DVD inspector window. I don't know what else to do!
Any suggestions?

You alsso need to set it as first play (sounds like that is what you mean and not whether it is "Title" in terms of pressing the remote)

How do you CHANGE the location (away from Drive C) where Firefox stores temporary files?

I know where Firefox stores temporary files. I want to CHANGE this location away from Drive C to decrease writes to an SSD. Thank you.

Thank you.
This function may be one of the few things that IE does better than Firefox. IE lets you change the temporary file location in Tools - Internet options - Settings. Firefox developers should make this task easier and put the instructions in the Help file where they can be easily found.
Since I use an SSD for Drive C, I have learned that any file(s) that are frequently written to should be moved elsewhere to a conventional HDD.

How do you change the main contact in contacts/icloud?

I've noticed in my contacts list I have one contact that is listed in blue and has a sillouete off to the right. Also in my icloud contacts that same contacts has "me" on the contact Picture. How do I change or delete this?

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password for your old iCloud ID when prompted. If you don't know it, or if it isn't accepted, try signing out of either FaceTime (Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, tap Sign Out) or iMessage (Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, tap Sign Out). Then sign back in with your current ID. Then try your current password to turn off Find My iPhone again (even though it still shows your old email address). If accepted, sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do you fix the problem "start up disk is full"?

My brand new macbook pro keep freezing on me. I get a notice that tells me: "start up disk is full, force quit open applications", I begin to hear the fans and then I can't even close what is open because completely freezes. I have 500GB of flash drive and I'm only using 340GB. Apple care personel instructed me to take it in for a diagnostic. Any suggestions?

Follow Apple's instructions. You should NOT be troubleshooting a brand new Mac. Take full advantage of your warranty.

How do you find the size of a current layer so you can make other layers the same size

When I have an PSD icon set and I want to size a layer to a size that looks good. How do I see the dimentions of that layer so that I can select another layer and make it the same size.

well that's my point Chris. I have a PSD that has 150 icons in it. I want to take 5 of them and make them the same size 300 x 300 from the 180 that they are.
If I select one and then press Apple T, I can see that it is 180 x 180 in the info window. I can then go to the transform bar at the top where it says 100% x 100% and type in 180px then 180px in the other.

Or duplicate the layer and replace the contents...
Then repeat for the other 4 layers. Is this the correct way (easiest?) How do you replace the layer after duplicating it.

Main start-up drive icon on desk-top

Getting up and running on my new mac-pro - probably a silly question but here goes:- the drive name has disappeared from the main start-up drive icon on my desktop. Don't know why as I've not touched disk utility since formatting my three new drives and have been using FCP for editing for a month now. Great system! Any help as to what happened would be much appreciated. Thanks. timod.

Select the drive icon, press COMMAND-I to open Get Info window. In Name and Extensions section enter "Macintosh HD" without quotes, then close window.
