How does one change the default iMessage font?

from Helvetica 12 to anything else other than going to format>show fonts which seems to only temporarily alter the font?

Hi,
You cannot access the two settings indicated ?
The Font Option allows choice of Font
You can colour the "Balloons" as in my Pic and you can also colour the Font.
I am trying to think of any reason why you may not be able to change but cannot think of any.
Possibles
Parental Controls does exclude you from changing some things in the Preferences (mostly in the Accounts pane and Privacy for AIM names).
If you did not own the .plist this info is kept in there might be issues but I cannot say I have seen them before.

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

How does one change the date format for PlayMemories Home folders?

I am using PlayMemories Home Version 2.0.00.11271 and have many folders within it which contain only photographs imported from my Sony DSC-H9. Unfortunately, PlayMemories Home insists upon dating all folders in a month/day/year manner; and this makes little sense if one wishes to have the folders listed in logical chronological order. How can I change the date format to year/month/day? Changing the name of each folder, one by one, will take a very long time! Your helpful advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. System information:
Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Service pack : Service Pack 3
Memory: 1.5 GB
Processor:         Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
Max. clock speed: 1.86
Manufacturer: IBM
Model: 1847W76

User language setting: English (United States)

I too thought that the folder naming format was obviously wrong and couldn't find a way to change it. I do agree that placing photos in folders according to when they were taken is a great idea. I had been considering writing some software to do just that. After discovering that PlayMemories does it, I had it re-import all my photos. Then I wrote a small Perl script to rename all of the folders into year-month-day format. Included here is the Perl script. It only acts on a single folder - use it on the root folder where all the PlayMemories folders are. It will rename all folders currently in a month-day-year format. I used it without problems but of course there is no guarentee that it is error free. This should work with any common version of Perl. Tom # There should be one command line argument: the directory to act upon
if ( scalar(@ARGV) == 0 ){
print "Usage: RenameDirs <dir>\n";
print " Where dir is the directory containing the directories to rename.\n";
exit;
$mydir = $ARGV[0];
chdir $mydir or die "Couldn't chdir to $mydir: $!";
opendir(ROOTPHOTODIR, ".") or die "Failed to open the pictures directory $mydir: $!";
@allphotodirs = readdir ROOTPHOTODIR;
closedir ROOTPHOTODIR;
foreach $dir (@allphotodirs) {
if ( -d $dir ) {
  print "$dir is a directory";
  if ( $dir =~ /^(\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{4})$/ ) {
   print " and has the proper format: month $1 day $2 year $3 and will be renamed to ";
   $newname = sprintf "%4u-%02u-%02u", $3, $1, $2;
   print "$newname\n";
   rename $dir, $newname or die "failed to rename $dir to $newname: $!";
  else {
   print " but is not of the proper format\n"
elsif ( -f $dir ) {
  print "$dir is a file\n";
else {
  print "$dir is neither a directory nor a file\n";
}

How does one change the login screen background

I have changed my desktop background picture few weeks ago with a picture I took. recently I have changed it again to one of the default pictures in OS Yosemite.
The problem is many times when I login to my computer, it shows the old picture I had instead of the one I currently set. I delete the old picture completely (from my hard drive and trash folder).
I will appreciate any help!
Thanks

I checked the hard drive and could not find the picture. However, it is still appear on the login screen :\

Where does one change the default formatting for a URL (href)

I want to have change the appearance of my href="#" tags so that they are not blue and underlined
Want to do that with a CSS
Do not know where to find and change the default setting in DW CS5 so that I make the changes globally
Could I have different styles of href="#"?
In the property list under what name is it in?
Thanks
erik

Best practice would be to create an external style sheet and link to it in the <head> like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="style_sheets/main_styles.css" />
of course edit for your folder structure and file names.
But you could test various styles by placing them in the <head> directly, like this:
<style type="text/css">

</style>

How does one change the dictionary default from Portuguese to English?

In one of the upgrades, instead of defaulting to English, my spellchecker instead defaults to Portuguese, which is the first language listed (also have French and Spanish). So every time I open Firefox, I have to change back to English.

I've had this problem for over a year. I have three dictionaries installed, but when opening a text box i.e. on a web page where text may be entered e.g. to create email or fill a form on line, 90+% of the words are red-wavy underlined because the dictionary in use is not my native language, but one I may occasionally try to use when I must...which is rarely.
Firefox NEEDS to have a setting for the Default Spell-Check Language, and it doesn't have one.
Unfortunately, I stopped coding some thirty years ago, and would love to do the fix, but I've simply been ignorant too long and must beg this of the fine developer crew out there.

How can I change the default header font in adobe acrobat?

Hi,
We run adobe acrobat 7 (ver 7.1.4) throughout the office.
We have a large number of pdf's to create from word documents and each one needs a header and footer.
For official reasons these must be in Times New Roman font and 10 point font size.
Adobe defaults to Arial 8-point.
Is there a way to change this default so that it does not have to be changed individually for each pdf?

You can save the settings and re-use the settings.

Preview: How do you change the default note font

I use Preview quite often to annotate screenshots to give to my developers to work on. I find it nice, simple and has most of the features that 3rd party screen capture vendors have, that i need. The only real issue i have is the default font size is huge. I'd like to be able to reduce the default font size (and possibly choose a different font) to be my default. I have to change it every time i use the application, which is quite often.
Does anyone know of a way to do this? Any changes to the plist file that i can make to reduce the default font size?

How does one change the folder to which scanned images are saved?

Using a CanoScan 9000F Mark II scanner
Using the ScanGear driver software that came with it
Right now every time I scan something, it is automatically saved in "My Documents", and I have to drag and drop the file where I really want it to go. How do I change it so that the file is saved where I want it to go in the first place. Also, it is automatically assigning a file name so that I have to go to the file and change that to what I would like it to be too. How do I make it so that I can name the file before it gets saved. Neither do I see where it gives me the option to choose the format in which the file is saved; it is saving the files automatically as JPG, but I would like to save them as TIFF or BMP.
These seem to be very standard options; so I don't know why I'm finding it so hard. I must be blind or something.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

How does one change the "rollover" value in text field of fillable PDF

I have a fillable PDF, and the values displayed when rolling the pointer over a fillable text field are showing some strange values. I inherited this form from someone who is no longer with the company. I need to be able to change the values but can't figure out how. I'm new to LiveCycle so any help is greatly appreciated.

I guess you are referring to "Tool Tip" you can update those in "Accessibility" Pallet...in designer you would access this by Shift+F6.

Safari on Windows. How does one change default spelling dictionary?

How does one change the default spelling dictionary for Safari on Windows? For the Mac, it changes in response to the default locale, but on Windows, it just sets to American English and you cannot change it anywhere I can see. All my locale information in Windows is set to UK English.
In fact on some websites, like this one, the spelling checker seems to be disabled! I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, BTW, running Safari 5.1.7
Message was edited by: Grant Wray

I think I just found the answer (though I don't know why the interface is buried this way). Find a word that the American spell check is flagging, right click on it, select Spelling and Grammar, and then select Show Spelling and Grammar. Make sure that the language listed at the bottom says British English (not my choice of what to call it, so please don't blame the messenger).

How does one change ownership of event?

We are running OCS 9.0.4.2 on redhat enterprise linux 3.0
I have a calendar entry which I got from:
mySess.fetchEventsByRange(Api.CSDK_FLAG_STREAM_NOT_MIME | Api.CSDK_FLAG_FETCH_EXCLUDE_DAILYNOTES |
Api.CSDK_FLAG_FETCH_EXCLUDE_DAYEVENTS, hand, in_start, in_end, eventProp, result);

DTEND:20050801T220000Z

So now I'm trying to save the event under the new owner using this:
mySess.storeEvents(Api.CSDK_FLAG_STORE_MODIFY,event,result);
where event reads as follows:

END:VCALENDAR
And i've run mySess.setIdentity to change to the old owner and new owner with no success?
Please how does one change the owner of an event?

The Calendar Sdk doesn't allow you to change the ownership of an event. (ORGANIZER value).

I am creating an aperture book from my photos. How do I change the default map provided in the theme to one of my choice e.g. satellite view?

Kyle,
Thanks for your response. To be clear, the way I am importing the PDF is by going to New in LiveCycle, and selecting Import a PDF document, and selecting Create and Interactive Form with Fixed Pages.
I cannot change the forms or pages, as they are created by our local Board. In otherwords, I have tryed used the flowable content, and upon import, not only are the fonts slightly different, but all the important artwork (trade-related) is gone, and is not in the exact positions it was in. The forms must meet the standards to which they were approved by the regional board, and there are state-mandated forms as well.
What surprises me is that you say this method of Fixed Content isn't used much any more. I would think that a lot of people would have PDF files they would wish to make into fillable, interactive forms without needing to reconstruct the entire document. Perhaps a company that has always done things on paper, and now wishes to use those exact same forms on the computer, with no deviations to looks so they can be printed and match up perfectly.
I thought about using Acrobat's internal form creation system. However, some of these forms have sophisticated options and the calculation scripts and systems within LiveCycle are very useful. Not to mention that it has a much larger scalability, should we chose to utilize it.
Any other suggestions? I am so confused why Adobe would force medium-quality import of a PDF, but be so incredibly flexible about every other option in their program.
