I downloaded the recent update for version 10.6.8 and the font on the hardware and applications have shrunk from 14 to 10 and I can't change it back

How do I change the font back to the 14 that I had before the "update"?

For the names of files and folders, use View Options to do that. You can access View Options while in Finder via the selection by that name in the View menu; or via the short dropmenu accessed by clicking the gear-shaped icon in a Finder window; or by pressing Command-J
When you open View Options, one of the items presented will be a pulldown menu to adjust the font size; this applies to the names for files and folders -
Change it to suit your needs.
Re changing the font size for the main menubar, unfortunately there is no adjustment for that.

  • Update for iphoto ....and i can't find my library or any of my pictures!

    Hello Wayne,
    well recently did the update for iphoto ....and i can't find my library or any of my pictures! I tried the same procudere that you suggested for numbers and pages, but that did not work. I don't even see the previous iphoto...Do you have any suggestions for this?
    Thank you.
    Edna

    Sorry but you need to give details to get help. What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? What upgrade did you just do? Who is Wayne - never sevens anyone named Wayne in this forum? What was the procedure tat was recommended (I doubt that any trouble shooting hints for numbers or pages would apply to iPhoto)?
    Remember we can not see you and only know what you tell us

  • I just purchased an ibook for my mac for the first time and it started with two pages then switched to one with notes and i can't change it back. Anyone else having this problem?

    Up the top where the three buttons are (red yellow green) are three images. Click on the third image that looks like a notepad (not the first which is a library book), and that should get rid of 'Notes'. To read using two pages make the window bigger.

  • On my new iPad 4, all of a sudden the mail screen went to a vertical format and I can't change it back to horizontal.  Help!

    The mail screen on my iPad 4 all of a sudden went from the normal horizontal format to a vertical format, and I can't change it back.  Help!

    You should really start a new discussion because many times people will not even look at a solved post. It's one thing if you read the post and the solution works for you, but to add onto a solved post, especially when you have a different problem than the original person that posted, you might not get the help that you need.
    I will give it a try. Close the iBooks app and reboot the iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why the date on my iPad is showing 1st Jan 2555be? I can't change it back to 2012!

    I'm not sure when it started, but now the date on my iPad is showing 1st Jan 2555be and I can't change it back to the current date. Anyone can help or share if you faced the same problem? Or is it because of some apps that I installed that caused the problem.

  • After installing V.10, mmonitor settings were changed and I can't change them back. What can I do to get the higher settings back?

    I use an external monitor (Acer) with my netbook (Asus). This morning before FireFox upgraded to V.10 my monitor settings gave me small typefaces on the monitor, I don't remember what the machine type was in the Windows control panel for display. Now after I restarted the machine, the Control Panel setting for the monitor is showing only the Mobile setting and the display if huge and I can't change the monitor settings. I'm feeling very mad right now. After the V.10 upgrade, Mozilla also said some software wasn't working or compatible with V.10, but I didn't note what they were. I just want to be able to get my older settings back and not have the huge icons, typeface, etc.

    Note: based on another thread, you might also need to remove a user.js file which Firefox reads at startup and uses to override the settings change you make in about:config or in the dialogs.
    This article describes how to track that down: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

  • The menu icons for yahoo toolbar are gone and I can't get them back. Uninstalled, reinstalled, no icons. What do I do?

    This is the second time in a week this has happened. The last time I got them back by right clicking on a blank spot in the toolbar. That will not work this time. I there anything else I can do to make it work right. It is working fine on Explorer 8, which I have also, but really prefer Firefox. Please tell me how to fix it. Also, I keep getting updates to Firefox, but they seem to be unable to connect to the update server most of the time.

    I repurchased one ring tone, backed up my phone and tried to download a book again.  Then I restored and did not get my ringtone back.
    Also, one of my audio books is still there, but the first one I bought is not.  It does not make sense.

    or the family pack of 5 licenses
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC574Z/A
    Buy it quick, as many feel that when Mountain Lion comes out SL disks will go to the secondary market at more than $29 for single or $49 for family-pack
    Make a good backup first, preferably a clone, as you may need it if the upgrade does fail.

  • Missing mscrv80.dll file when updating itunes.  what is it and how can I get it back?

    When updating itunes the new installation said I was missing mscrv80.dll file.  I've reinstalled but still doesn't work.  How can it be repaired?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • After downloading V. 5, my Fast Dial homepage has disappeared and I can't get it back??

    After downloading and installing V. 5 my Fast Dial homepage has disappeared from the opening screen. All of the webpage logos are gone, and the opening screen is blank. I have not been able to restore the Fast Dial homepage. How do I restore the Fast Dial homepage with all the logos?

    This does not help. The checkbox is checked. The Downloads window is listed in the list of windows in the Windows menu, though it isn't shown in the set of windows displayed by Exposé when I display only the Firefox windows. Somehow it seems to exist as a non-appearing window.

  • The masked fox icon is missing from my status bar. How can I get it back?

    The masked fox icon needed for personas has disappeared from the left corner of the status bar. Hoe do I get it back again and why did it disappear?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    if people out there has the new FF4 then you might not see the masked fox on bottom left corner. it took me a few minutes to figure it out but i found it. ok if you dont have the status bar on bottom showing 1st thing to do is:
    1st--go up top click tab called VIEW
    2nd-- click toolbars
    3rd-- click add-on bar
    then once thats done look at the bottom & u should see a black bar on bottom left. well i was stumped also when i saw this then i then looked right then i saw the fox there. but another way to find the fox (annoying way) is to go up top click tools then personas. but i like the fox & find it much easier. glad i found it again.
    happy persona-ING..

  • HT6162 My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?

    My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?

    Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
    The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
    Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.
