In Lion, how do I change the folder's cover photo?

In Snow Leopard, its easy to do, just drag the pic onto the icon after you right click to Get Info. I can't find how to do it in Lion HELP anywhere. Please advise. Thanks.

Select the folder, CMD+I, select the upper left-hand icon, and paste in the new one. That's the only method I've ever used.

How can I change the colors in a photo?

No. You'd need an external editor for that kind of stuff:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Of course, you may not want to change the shape of a photo which would distort it. You may want to print it in an oval shape but undistorted. I'd use a page layout app like Pages for that,

How do I change the length of multiple photo's after I've added them?

How do I change the length of multiple photo's after I've added them?

Hey,
The best way to do this is to select all the clips by holding down the shift key or command key if the clips you want to change are not all right next to each other and then selecting each clip that you want to change. Then double-click on the clips which will open up the inspector tab and then you can change the duration. If you want to just change all clips to the same duration just double-click on one of the photos and in the inspector tab next to the durationt tab you will see a box that says "add duration to all clips". If you click that, when you change the duration all the photos will change to that duration. That will then change the duration of all the clips at the same time.

HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
killall SystemUIServer
You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.

Dual monitors with lion how do i change the desktop for the 2nd

i have a macbook pro with a 2nd display monitor. I upgraded to Lion. How do I change the desk top on the 2nd montior from this ugly grey material look?

To further clarify what Thomas said, when you access the "Desktop and Screen Saver" control pane with both monitors on and active, you should see desktop selection panes appear on both screens. Mouse over to the other screen, choose a desktop on that screen's pane, and the desktop image that you chose should be set for that desktop only.
(This also applies if you use more than two screens.)

How do you change the folder layout in WebDB Site Builder?

Hello,
When multiple subfolders are added to folders, they are formatted from left to right in the content area of the WebDB Site. I want the folders to appear in a list, how can I change the layout?
Regards,
Lindsay Fraschilla

The folders in my content area are already displayed, I just want them to be displayed vertically in a list not horizontally. My folders appear like this:
a b
c d
I want them to appear like this:
a
b
c
d
Any ideas?
The 'multiselect option' below that you referred to only alows you to select the order of the folders and if they are displayed or not.
Thanks

How do I change the folder in which Mail saves sent e-mails (On my Mac)?

If I send an e-mail from my iPad, te e-mail is saved in "sent items". However, if I send an e-mail from my Mac, with mail, the e-mail is saved in another folder: "Sent Messages".
I know I can easily change the folder in which the iPad saves sent e-mails, but I would like to change this setting on my Mac, so that the Mac saves sent e-mails exactely where the iPad saves snet e-mails.
Is it possible to change this setting on the Mac?

There might. (Stress, might.)
Quit Mail.
Make a backup of <~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist>.
Open it with a suitable text editor (eg, TextWrangler), or plist editor (eg, Xcode, Pref Setter).
Look for the key "SentMessagesMailboxName". Replace the string "Sent Messages" with what you want.
Repeat for every such key. Save.
Launch Mail. Test. If anything goes wrong, replace com.apple.mail.plist with the backup.
Warning: I have not tested this myself, so I don't know if it works and/or if it causes any problems.

How do you change the size of a photo in a document?

TextEdit is not a very sophisticated program. As far as I know, there's no way to resize an image on the fly in TextEdit, so you'll have to follow Shotgun00's advice.
I would advise not using TextEdit for anything real. Buy yourself a copy of Pages from the App Store instead, you'll be much happier with its capabilities if you intend to create complex documents containing images and text.

How do I change the name and cover of a ebook in ibooks for mac?

I have iBooks on my macbook pro and would like to change the name and cover of some epub books I dowloaded. How do I go about doing this, if there a get info like in itunes that I just can't find?

Try Calibre for Mac, available on macupdate.com. It's clunky to have to use 3rd party software, but until Apple fixes the abomination that is iBooks, that's what we'll have to do.

How do i change the title to my photo album:(ios7)

How do I change the name of the title for one of my photo albums in ios 7

When you set the podcast up in WordPress you must have entered a title; it's presumably there that you can change it, and then re-publish it, though I can't advise on WordPress.
One caveat, though: some podcast creation services derive the feed URL from the title: I don't know whether WordPress is one of them, but if it is you shouldn't change the title because if you change your feed URL withouth redirecting iTunes to a new feed in the proper manner you will lose control of your podcast.
The method of changing iTunes to a new feeed URL requires the old feed to be left in place with a special tag added to it (I don't know whether this is possible in Wordpress) - the method is detailed here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
However if the feed URL is not affected by changing the title then you can just go ahead and change it.

How can I change the order in which photos are presented on an Apple TV?

I am showing photos on my Apple TV via my Apple MacBook, iTunes and Home Sharing.
That all works nicely for me, except that I wish to change the order in which a few photos
are being presented. How can I change the presentation order on the Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You'll need to change the order in iPhoto. Open the album you wish to re-order, manually sort them to the order you want, then use the time and date and batch change options as applicable from the photos menu to retag your photos.

How do you change the resolution of a Photo?

In iPhoto, how to you reduce the resolution of a photo in order to reduce the file size? This makes it easier to email because of the smaller file size?

Let's say I have a photo with a resolution of of 3264 x 2448 pixels.
Tat's not a measurement of resolution, that's the dimensions (length x breadth) of the photo, expressed in pixels.
Resolution is a vague term most used to describe the density of pixels - i.e the pixels per inch.
1) I want to edit it and reduce the resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels.
No, you want to reduce the dimensions of the image to 1024 x 768
2) Do this within iPhoto without using the export feature thereby keeping the edited photo in iPhoto?
You can't. It can only be done on export. Why? When you edit a photo iPhoto preserves the original and makes a copy of the file containing the edit. As most people reduce the dimensions, file size or resolution for a specific purpose (to upload it for instance), it's thought best to export it, upload it nd then trash it.
Of course, you can simply import the export back in, if you have a burning need of it in iPhoto.

How can I change the folder path to my library

I just changed the file path to my locally stored music from C:\MyStuff\...\iPod Nano Music\... to C:\OneDrive\...\iPod Nano Music\...
Is there a way I can edit the path that Apple has locally stored to redirect iTunes to the new, correct location instead of (as I've had to do previously) deleting all the music files in iTunes and then adding each music folder back?
In Advanced Preferences the 'iTunes media folder location' shows as C:\Users\Mark\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media with an edit button. However this is not the location of all my music files (as indicated above).

If you want to move your media to a new path what you should do is edit the media folder preference in iTunes and then consolidate to that new path. Moving the media first by hand and then trying to fix iTunes is generally the wrong approach.
Your options are to move everything back where it came from, then consolidate to the new path, then delete the originals that iTunes leaves behind. Alternatively you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect the relocated media to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
See also Make a split library portable for reasons why splitting the media folder to a new path may be undesirable.
