I have an imac and want to increase the display font size.

I am able to increase the font size of e.g. webpages and outlook messages, but it is the font size of menus and headings for all programmes that are far too small for a much bigger screen than the PC I have just been using - i can't see a way of changing these. Zooming in does not help increasing the size of these menus.

Lower the display's resolution.

I have a iMac and want to know if I can add an additional hynix memory to it? It currently has one with an open slot next two it.

I have a iMac and want to know if I can add an additional hynix memory to it? It currently has one with an open slot next two it.

You can install up to 6 GBs of RAM. You have two RAM slots so you could max out the machine by installing one 2 GB module and one 4 GB module. The largest supported module is 4 GBs, but you could use only one. Best memory performance would be attained by installing two 2 GB modules to provide 4 GBs of RAM. Installing two matching modules implements dual-channel memory that will provide a small increase in memory speed.
Sorry for my memory: Good places for RAM are OWC and DataMem. You do not have to use Hynix RAM. Any RAM will be fine as long as it meets the computer's requirements which are outlined in the section of your use manual for adding memory.

When one is tight on storage space, offloading data onto a $79 external spinning disk drive is cost effective but not portable. When you are not at your desk you cannot access the data. On any Mac that has a MicroSD slot, one can add up to 128 GB of inexpensive portable storage using the following options that cost less than $100. This is cost-effective alternative to upgrading the internal SSD on a MacBook Air for $200 to $315. One can use multiple microSD card to multiply the storage they carry with them.
Time Machine does not backup these microSD cards so using an alternative backup program, such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper! would be prudent. One could partition their Time Machine backup drive(s) with 64 or 128 GB partitions (one per microSD card) so another backup hard drive is not needed.

I have a iMac and i just updated the computer to Yosemite. I have Photoshop CS5 and when I try to print under print size --- manage custom size , photoshop unexpectedly quits every time. I updated the printer drivers (epson 9880) uninstalled and installed all the drivers. restarted computer and it is still doing the same thing. Cant find any costumer service here either except forums.

I have exactly the same problem - Whenever I go to Print, the print widow appears, it thinks about it for a bit (rotating symbol) and then quits.
This is the beginning of the problem details, cut and paste. It goes on much longer than this:

Sometimes this message means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
Sometimes it happens because a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
A third-party wireless router that has incompatible settings or firmware may be the cause. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

Yes. You can also check from the apple store app.
Going in store is a great idea.

My windows/test have become enlarged and no longer fit the display?

My windows/test have become enlarged and no longer fit the display? I'm using an IMAC 7.1 with MAC OS X 10.4.11

Thanks for your help. I'm using a magic mouse. The scroll facility doesn't work with the operating system, I have to scroll using the scroll bars. Is there anything else I can do.

Is there a real way to increase the system font size yet?

I got a new Mac Pro (2013 model) to use with my Dell U2711 monitor which has a native screen resolution of 2560x1440. After spending some significant time fighting with cables (HDMI and DVI will not allow for full native resolution due to a Dell issue, only Display Port works), I finally got my screen working at the full native resolution. Since I am going from a previous resolution of 1920x1080, as you can imagine, the text is pretty small.
I am running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1.
I searched the forums for a way to increase the default font size and found a ton of posts, but most posts were older or got the response "Change your screen resolution" which translates to "Drop your resolution to a non-native and clearly inferior mode" or buy some special computer reading glasses. These are not real solutions for me. I do professional photo editing so being able to have a high screen resolution is important. With a great OS I would think there would have to be a way to increase the font size. (Surely if Windows can do it, so can Mac OS). I know I can do it for some individual applications like iTunes, Safari, Chrome, etc. But I can't find a way to increase it for apps that don't have a font size option or for default mac applications like the action bar. Is this an issue that just keeps being ignored or is there a solution yet?
With 4K displays already on the market and 8K ones being shown off at CES, if we can't control the default font size, are the next set of solutions going to be "Go buy a really big magnifying glass"? If the current answer is still that I'm SOL, could we please get some feedback to the product group that this is a real issue and it's only going to get worse with higher res monitors coming. I don't think many people will be happy dropping their 4K displays to 1080 resolution or lower just so they can read the text.

Download and run the free application TinkerTool (not "TinkerTool System"), select the Fonts tab, and change the font sizes.

How do I increase the menu font size for Bible Fox?

I know how to increase page text size etc, but using (brown) Bible Fox theme, I can't increase the menu font size. Is there a way to do this?

You can try to increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best. 
In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Is there a way to increase the default font size on the iPhone 4s?

I've had my iphone 4s for a few weeks now, graduating up from the Bberry world.
I've been searching the phone settings and the web for instructions on how to increase the default font.
This would be most helpful for us 50+ people who use reading glasses and have trouble seeing things these days in low light or when you can't expand the text like in an email or web page.
The affects the features like: Messaging, Notes, Reminders, Calendar, etc.....
Seems like this device should have this ability somewhere.
Even my lo tech Bberry had this option.....don't make me go back....
Thx!

I live in the US but am moving to the UK. I have a iMac and want to know if I can just exchange the power cable or will I need a transformer to be able to use it there?

I have had my iMac for about a year and have just found out that I am moving to the UK from the US. I want to take it but I don't want to damage it. Can I just get a replacement power cable in the UK (like the international switchable plugs for iPads) or will I have to use a step-down transformer? Thanks

Just the plug-end needs changed. I the UK you should beable to find the cord that plugs into the back of the iMac and has the correct wall-end.

I have an iMac and I keep getting the beachball or spinning wheel coming up It doesn't let me continue until it stops I also have to force quit it.

I have started it in safe mode and it doesn't help. I have reinstalled it and that doesn't help. I love firefox and don't want to switch. Can anyone help me.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
