IMail toolbar icon and address list entries - any way to make them larger?

In iMail, is there a way to make the toolbar icons larger?  Similarly, when I bring up the list of addresses, is there a way to make those addresses larger and easier to see?
Thanks in advance.

You can adjust the sidebar size in System Preferences > General > Large
The toolbar doesn't allow for customizations, but try System Preferences > Accessiblity > Zoom
Another option is to turn on icon & text for toolbar. Icons are generally easier to recognize. You can add cusotom icons to folders if it's a generic blue folder.
The new larger monitors make everything smaller. Try System Preferences > Display settings and choose a different resolution. I've never been happy changing from the default however. Really wish they still made a 24" monitor for the iMac.

  • Iphone 4S newly updated to iOS8, keeps popping up window notifying me of things I turned off (cell usage, location, etc) to preserve battery life.  Is there any way to make them stop telling me every time I use the affected apps?

    I have finally taken the step of updating my iPhone 4S to iOS8 after learning the hard way last update to wait for the bugs to be worked out.  I was horrified to find that the battery was being sucked dry in no time at all.  After finding a great article posted elsewhere on the apple forums, I went through and turned off all unnecessary options involving the use of cell data, location services and background refreshing.  My battery life has thankfully returned to what it was before the update.  
    HOWEVER, now, every time I open an app for which I turned these things off, the window informing me of that pops up.   I am getting really irritated by this as I made all of these decisions deliberately and am well aware that I may need to go back and change them in order to activate certain capabilities when I want to use them.  I had done the same thing with the last iOS, but there were far fewer that needed to be turned off and the battery life seemed to be less affected by those that I left on so it was not the annoyance it has become now.
    Is there any way to make the phone stop presenting me with these idiot messages?   TIA

    Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

  • Tabs open on far right - any way to make them open 'slide right'?

    When Safari opens a link as a tab, it opens it on the far right.
    Recent versions of Firefox have a new option - 'slide' right: the
    new table slides in between where you are and the other tabs you
    already have open.
    Any way to do 'slide right' for Safari?
    TIA,

    HI Mike,
    Any way to do 'slide right' for Safari?
    Not yet. But check VersionTracker or MacUpdate for third party plugins.

  • Address Book server -- any way to make an account "read-only"?

    So, they'd like to incorporate Address Book Server here to work as a "group" address book.
    But they only want to give certain people read-write access to the group book and read-only address to others.
    As far as I know, there's no way to do this (like you could with an iCal "delegate" for comparison.)
    But I was thinking -- is there some way to just set an AB Server account read-only in general?
    If so, I was thinking I could set up two AB Server accounts -- the "read-write" account for some users and then script/sync the values in that account nightly to a "read-only" account.
    But I can't figure out if there's a way to marke an AB server account read-only to begin with.
    Any suggestions along these lines?
    Thanks!

    I'd imagine this is a question that only Apple can answer, as it would require some "behind the scenes" tinkering with Terminal etc., if it were at all possible.
    Its definitely something they should think about including in a future release, as there seem to be quite a few people here who want a shared calendar, plus therefore the ability to pick who can EDIT vs. just read the info on it.
    Cheers!

  • The up and down arrows for the Finder columns are difficult to bring into view - any way to make them easier or permanent?

    Hi -
    My husband works with multi-level folders, each with way more content than will fit on the screen.  He says that he can't get the up and down arrows to show up when he is looking for a file in Finder, or wanting to move or copy files to another folder several layers up.  They will apparently show up at times, but if he isn't fast enough, they disappear before he can get his mouse over to them.  He cannot use a Magic Mouse or a touchpad, which would solve the problem with finger gestures.  He thinks this happened when I put Lion on our computers several months ago.  My own files are not so extensive, and I can use a Magic Mouse, so I haven't noticed any problem.
    Was there a change in Lion - assuming that finger gestures would replace the up and down arrows onscreen?  Is there a workaround to get this functionality back?
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Canon cameras don't play will with other FireWire devices on the same bus. You could try disconnecting the WD drive and connecting the camera directly to the computer without and capturing to the internal drive. It should be fast enough for DV.
    One probably is that your version of FCE is not supported on the version of the OS you are running. The last version I think that works with that software is 10.4.10 or earlier.

  • Why does it say instal next to the apps I have deleted in the app store and is there any way to make them go away with out a computer

         .

    The app store lists the app as "Install" rather than with a price to indicate that you can download it again without charge if you change your mind.  It is not possible to make something in the app store go away.  Why do you want to?

  • Any way to make text larger in Photoshop CS 5 Extended?

    I recently upgraded from CS3 and the tool labeling text is too small to be able to see on the toolbars. The icons seem smaller too. I need to use a magnifying glass now and didn't need to do that with CS3. I did look through Photoshop's prefs (the main ones, accessible by pulling from the menu under Photoshop's name), but couldn't find an option for altering the display. (I have "huge size" font selected for the font selection in the display for font choices--that's not the problem.) It appears from here that the programming for Photoshop's basics has just miniaturized everything. I haven't made any alterations to my computer or screen that could account for the problem, so I'm supposing that everyone has that? I had assumed it must be a problem with running Photoshop CS5 on Leopard, but the upgrade to Snow Leopard didn't help.
    I'm aware that the operating system has a system pref for zooming. I've tried that once in awhile for something other; I think that using the system's zooming while trying to operate in Photoshop will be more inconvenient than using a magnifying glass.
    My eyesight is imperfect, but it wasn't perfect on CS3 either. I'm running Photoshop on the same computer & monitor as when previously running CS3: 24" iMac 2.8 GHz with 4 GB RAM.

    Another thread on new enhancements might be a good thing for the Photoshop community, but right now, I just want to use Photoshop without having to use a magnifying glass. I could do that if my installation of Photoshop were right (defining "right" as being similar to what I can see others running Macs have with CS5). The labels that ought to appear in a bold typeface aren't bold on my Mac; it's almost as if I were running Photoshop on a UNIX or Windows machine (at least, the way I'd imagine Photoshop might look in a different environment).
    I don't expect to be buying Adobe CS6 at any point, so even if Adobe were to add that nice little wrinkle to its programming it wouldn't help me. But I doubt that I personally would need it... if only my installation were right. I did install the latest update and it had no effect. Photoshop displayed this tiny unreadable type interface for me from the first time I opened it and ever after that time, no matter what I've done.
    I'm used to going through all the prefs just after installing a new application, and that's what I did with Photoshop, setting Preferences-->Interface, Pulldown under UI font sizes to "Large" (though Large might have been the default).
    I thought it might be interesting to fool with this Interface UI pulldown preference a bit. I opened, altered that preference, and quit the app three different times to look at font size each time upon reopening the app. My Photoshop won't show a bold labeling typeface at any of the three settings (small, medium, or large). The Small setting will make the font size a bit smaller than the medium, but the Large setting won't make the medium size even the tiniest bit larger.
    So between the lack of a proper bold font display and the unresponsiveness to a Large typeface preference, it looks as if my Photoshop CS5 has been hacked to make the application unusable for someone like me who can't see tiny type. Nice.
    I opened Photoshop using BBedit, trying to find the place in the programming that controls the font being used and its size. I couldn't find the place, but if I could have found the spot in the programming that controls this functionality, I'd just have input some different, bolder font for the tool labels.
    Unless someone thinks of something else I might try, the solution I'll use will be to change the display screen in the system preferences from 1920 x 1200 pixels to 1344 x 840. I don't think that's going to be very practical, but perhaps is a bit more practical than using a magnifying glass. I've already updated Photoshop, dumped all Photoshop's preferences and redone them all. No luck there. 
    I guess I might have been better off not spending the money on the upgrade, though one glance at the masking improvements in CS5 over CS3 lets me know that Photoshop CS5 is a dream of an application. I just really wish I had the application I paid for.
    Thanks to everyone who posted trying to help.
    Best wishes,
    Mary 

  • When I attempt to install a non-Apple app using a CD, I do not get the prompts that are supposed to occur automatically and can't find a way to make them start. I am installing Rosetta Stone.

    When I attempt to install a non-Apple app - in this case Rosetta Stone - I do not get the prompts to follow after inserting the CD.  I have searched for a way to activate them with no luck.

    Rosetta Stone does make a Mac OS X compatible version of their software.  You may be elligible for a crossgrade or a Mac version of their CD.  Or you might need to consider installing Windows on your Mac, if the disc only has a .exe file.

  • Any way to make Contacts Read Only in Server 10.8/9

    I have turned on OS X Server Services Contacts (in either 10.8 or 10.9), set up a user account, added that account as a CardDav to a computer(s) made a group(s) of contacts and imported some vcards so everybody can see them in their Contacts on their computers in 10.8 or 10.9. Everything fine.
    What I can't figure out is if there is any way to make them Read Only, allowing only a selected group to have Read/Write privileges. When you have hundreds of employees many of them will end up editing something in the "public contacts" that they shouldn't have done or delete them completely.
    If they were read only that would be great.
    Any ideas? Other then an exchange server there isn't much out there for Macs.
    Thanks,
    Todd

    Update -
    I found a way to make this work. And it is free!
    Forget Apple OS X Server Service Contacts.
    Use Sogo instead. Works perfectly and is extremely fast in handling our 5000+ public cardev records and 1000+ cardev private records!

  • How to increase toolbar icon and text size on new pc

    I just purchased a new laptop and with the new screen resolution, the icons and text on the toolbars, menu and address bar are small.
    I was wondering it there was a way to increase the size of all these things?
    I tried changing the screen resolution on the laptop but any setting other than the native display setting causes everything to be fuzzy
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed firefox on new laptop

    Hello Tony.
    I see that you are using Windows 7. Windows 7 (and other versions of Windows) have accessibility tools that will let you change the scale of the image. This will have an effect on all applications, not just Firefox. Contact Microsoft for help on that.
    In any case, you may have luck if you search for a specially made theme: [http://addons.mozilla.org/ addons.mozilla.org]. I doubt it will look pretty though.

    As to whether you can work with Apple via email on this issue I can't say for sure, but you can contact them via this web page:

    and see if they can help. It's mostly going to be an issue of you being able to prove to them that you are the account owner.
