I have an iMac 27 and find the writeing to be small how do i increase the size

how do i increase the letter size on the screen

I have vision issues and changing the desktop resolution on my 27-inch iMac from the default of 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 fixed the problem for me. Everything is still sharp, something that won't happen if you do control + scroll.
You change the desktop res by going to System Preferences > Displays and selecting 1920x1080 from the list

    i have one apple id, but the family all have ipods, imac and mac book connected to  this account. how do i face time from one device to another?

    Hello chlanli
    You would need to use one Apple ID for purchases in order to get them across all of your devices and computer. If you want you can use one Apple ID for purchases and the other one to sync personal data. The article below will explain further.

    OK. You can upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion if you wish. But you will need to upgrade RAM once you get to Snow Leopard - 10.6.x and above. Here's the requirements:
    Snow Leopard General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Are my applications compatible?
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
    You can upgrade your RAM:
    Maximum Memory
    6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs
    I would recommend upgrading to the maximum your computer supports.

    I have an iMac and my keyboard doesn't work. How can I fix it. Got it in 2011. Also my mouse is acting up

    What OS X are you running and do you have USB or Wireless input devices...?
    For wireless devices, take a look at > Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    USB keyboards and mice generally don't have connection issues, but they and there cords do occasionally go bad.

  • I have 2 websites and 1 IP address for my server, how do I set the DNS up?

    I am having trouble following the boards and the Server Admin instructions to make sure I can activate a website.
    IP address for the Snow Leopard Server on a mac mini
    Server Settings for Web has the 2 domain names listed pointing to the same IP address and same port 80.
    How do I point the DNS correctly to the domain I want to respond?  www.ziggythewinegal.com
    If you put the IP address in a browser, it returns the default domain which is just the apache/osx server page. 64.142.85.71
    If you put the first domain name in a browswer, it does the same. www.JoelQuigley.com
    How do I setup the DNS to www.ziggythewinegal.com which is in the folder WebServer>ziggy>index.php ?

    64.142.85.71 has an existing public DNS translation, so you'll be adding DNS CNAME (alias) records for the each of the additional hosts into your public DNS at WorldNIC DNS servers.
    Your local host either isn't running DNS, or it's running local DNS.  If it's running local DNS, then hopefully it's not running with the same domain name as your public DNS services; that you have an external DNS zone and an internal DNS zone, with an external DNS domain and an internal domain name.  If you are running DNS locally and are using the same domain name for internal and external DNS servers, then you'll also need to add the translation for the new web sites into your local DNS server configuration.
    Once the translation is added, add - as John Lockwood indicates - Sites into your web server. 
    The numbers of folders can vary.  Different sites may or may not be in the same folder, depending on what you're doing. Multiple ttraditional static HTML web sites are probably stored in separate folders.  A single site with several names can be in the same folder.  A web content management system (CMS) can be stored in one folder.
    If you have a firewall here (and you should), then you may need some additional steps.  Particularly if you're running NAT, and don't already have rules and port-forwarding enabled on the server.  Given it appears you're using mail with this server, there are likely some rules in place, though you'll need to confirm that port 80 TCP and possibly port 443 TCP are (also) being forwarded for your web services.
    Here is a write-up on adding what Apple calls Sites and what Apache calls virtual hosts.

  • Apple Mail (Mavericks), Viewing size of list is too small.how do you increase the size of the email message list.  The font is too small, I can hardly read them.

    In Apple Mail, using Mavericks, how do you increase the size of the email message list that displays on the left side of the screen?
    The font size is so small.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for responding.  After investigating and checking further, it was clear that only one of your suggestions changes the font size of the list of emails, also called the In-box.  And that is the display resolution.
    However, changing the display resolution affects the dots per inch of everything, everywhere and makes it larger.
    Given the high end fee Apple charges for their products, and the generally well developed software they provide, it is hard to imagine they have not corrected this obvious slight of effort on the inbox text. At times Apple's "one-size-fits-all" and "it's our way or no way" mentality astounds me and makes me want to run back to Microsoft.
    Evidently this is a well known mistake, which has yet to receive any attention.
    Again, thank you for your effort and assistance on my behalf.

    Your audio settings may have been changed.
    Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
    Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
    Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

  • I have an iPhone 5. I have an iMac. I do not use iCloud. How do I sync the calendar?

    You're welcome.
    Log in with your iCloud account with a browser on your computer to check if your Mac iCal calendar events are available with your iCloud online calendar. Depending on how many calendar events there are, the upload can take a little while - longer than 5 minutes since your last post.

  • My ipods are no longer recognized after I installed my Iphone I have 2 ipods that I have music on and still want to use them so how do I get the computer to recognize the ipods again?

    I recently got an Iphone and after I installed it on my computer my 2 ipods are no longer able to sync to the computer how do I get the computer to recognize the 2 different ipods so I can still use them?

    Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone?  Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
    So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
    What happens now when you connect the iPod?  Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager?

  • I have upgraded iPads and my husband uses my old one, how do I change the info so updates etc work in his name

    I have  upgraded to a new ipad 2, my husband has taken over my old ipad I have set up a Apple ID for him etc, how is link the old ipad to his id so my updates no longer show up on his ipad and it is his identity not mine.

    Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean by "save his programs". If they are apps that you bought with your ID, they really aren't his apps. If they are apps that he bought with his own ID, he can download them again for free as long as he uses the same Apple ID.
    You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another ID. Any apps that you bought on the iPad with your ID will have to be updated by using your Apple ID and password. If he bought apps with his own ID, he needs to use his ID and password in order to update those apps.
    What I am saying is that you should have erased the iPad before he started using it with his own ID. If he wants to use apps that you purchased because he doesn't want to have to pay for them again, then he will just have to juggle the two ID's.
    Know that if he switches to your ID in order to download a past purchase, he will lock himself out of his own ID for 90 days. You should take a look at this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Perhaps you should clarify who bought the apps and describe exactly what you are trying to do.

  • How do I change the icloud account on my iphone? I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air and imac and iphone). I can't see where I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey?

    I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air, imac and iphone). I can't see how I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey? I also can't remember the password for this account so i can't even delete it and start again?
    Help!
    Thanks

    Deleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud.  In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens.  Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device.  It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
    The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days.  When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question.  However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload).  Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this.  If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account.

  • Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. How can I increase the storage space?

    Question
    Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?

    Hi terrybohle1938,
    Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
    That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I recently installed 10.6.8 on my Imac and now i find i have 2 startup discs which i don't want. How do i erase the old startup disc which uses 10.5.8?

    I recently installed 10.6.8 on my Imac and now i find i have 2 startup discs which i don't want. How do i erase the old startup disc which uses 10.5.8?
    My Imac info is :
    It also appears that many of my files are duplicated.
    Work files and system files such as Library (i have 3 Libraries now..?)
    Also keep geting messages such as "scratch disks full".
    Any advice is welcome..

    Well I would recommend you do have an off internal hard drive backup of all your files before wiping any duplicates off the internal.  Once you are certain you have an off internal hard drive backup of all essential files, then use Disk Utility to erase the other partitions.
