Is there a way to adjust the default prefs inside (Safari)package contents?

Hello All,
Following another posting re default prefs resetting for Safari each time I reboot out of Windows back into OS X, I got thinking..
Is there a way I can adjust the default prefs inside Safari (the package in App folder) so every time it resets, it will have my desired settings..?

The defaults.plist file in the Safari package will not let you do anything that you can't already do with the user's com.apple.Safari.plist file, so there is no point in changing the defaults.plist file
I think you're misunderstanding the OP
The OP is saying that if they reset Safari, or it loses it's settings (as he referred to in first post) to some issue with XP/Boot Camp then they'd like the default settings used by Safari to be those that got blown away (for whatever reason that may be)
By changing the defaults in Safari they won't have to go through having to set them all up again, as the defaults will now be their preferred setup anyway.
Anyhoo, KingRichard I think you can do it if you really want, but it might make more sense to figure out why your settings keep getting removed

Is there a way to set the default level of keyframe easing?

I'm currently using the graph editor to smooth my ease-in / ease-out keyframes with 100% influence. I'm having to adjust the easing of each keyframe individually.
Is there a way to set the default level to 100%, so that I can just select "Easy Ease In" and have it apply without having to go into the graph editor? It would save a lot of time.

No, there's not a way to do that, but it's a good feature request. You can submit feature requests here:

Is there a way to adjust the font size in the digital signature?

The attributes, of Name, Date, Location, Reason, Distinguished Name, etc. Is there a way to adjust the size of the font and the display?
Thank you.

Hi Chunkee,
I know it's not what you want to hear, but the answer is no. You can change the font, but not the font size because Acrobat will try to fill the signature field using dynamic sizing. I've found that id the default Helvetica is too big you can experiment with different fonts as they have different proportions and will come out different sizes.

Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Is there any way to specify the default version of LabVIEW?

I have a sinking feeling that the answer to this question is "no." With more than one version installed, is there any way to set the default LabVIEW version for opening a VI? I have both 7.1 and 8 installed, and usually only use 8 to open an example or look at something posted here. When I do that, it resets all the OS hooks so that the default action for opening a VI is to open it in version 8. I've even gone so far as to create actions to open files in 7.1 and 8, but it always resets my default action.
I found this KB article for when version 7 came out, but it's suggestions don't seem to work with 7 and 8.
Ugh. I hate it when software thinks it knows what I want better than I do.

Add
in the LabVIEW.ini file of those versions you do not want to rewrite
the registry on startup to point to themselves for VI files, the
following:
RegisterExtensions=False
Of course the VersionChooser utility mentioned earlier is even more convinient.

Is there any way to set the default for *.doc document so that Pages opens them automatically?

I have a number of Ms Word documents because I used to have Word for Mac before the last OS release. Now, of course, when I double-click on them, I get a message saying that PowerPC isn't supported.
Now Pages will open these files. Is there any way to change the default for *.doc files so that a double-click will open them in Pages?
(Instead of me going to the trouble of finding out where they are actually located on the hard drive so that I can open pages and say - here, open this file--even though you didn't create it--)

Click on a .doc file and type Cmnd I to open Get Info. In the Open with: menu select Pages, then click on Change All…

Apple Mail, is there a way to change the default time-out?

This has been puzzling me for some time and I have not found a solution. The problem which I also posted in the Mail forum (though I think that if there is a positive answer it will come through here) is as follows:
I have an email account with on my company's mail server which is actually a Novell Netware server with a POP3 service. When using mail to send mail, I have no problems. When using mail to recieve mail, well, sometimes it gets the mail, and sometimes it does not. Usually, I can recieve mail for two or three weeks then it just stops working. No changes to my system, no updates or anything, I recieve email at one point in the day and then 15 minutes later - nothing. In the Activity Monitor, I see "Connecting to ..." then "Sending Password" then "Checking for Messages", then (after a while) it beeps as if it did not find any messages to download (no error!).
Some weeks later, after suffering with webmail, suddenly, it works again. This usually coincides with maintenance on the server, but not always. It also seems to correspond with a general improvement of the server performance. But eventually, the cycle starts over again with mail suddenly not able to find any new messages for that account.
I use dial-up at home, ethernet LAN at work, and DSL at our satellite offices. When it works on one it works on all. Also note that my other email accounts (not in any way connected to my company) work as they should at all times and in each setting.
Is it possible that mail simply times out before the messages are discovered. The Novell server used for mail is by no means known for its performance. If so, is there anyway to change the default timeout in mail for "Checking for Messages"?
Things I have tried:
I have dumped the "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded" and "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2" files to no avail.
I have changed computers (I recently upgraded from a ti400), reinstalled the OS, upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.3.x to 10.4.3, and removed and recreated the mail account (multiple times), all to no avail.
Based on the above observations, I feel that it may be that "Mail's" "Get-mail" function is timing out before new messages are discovered on a very slow server. Is there any way to change the default time-out to evaluate this hypothesis?
Any help would be appreciated.

I already thought of that one. I deleted my account from there. But it didn't default to the other one. It just told me I needed to add an account. Thanks tho

No, but iTunes has an Equaliser that enables you to do that.

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.

Hi,
As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

Is there a way to change the default print tray on an HP LaserJet 500 color M551 Printer

Hi
Is there a way to setup the default print tray for a HP LaserJet 500 color M551 printer to be tray 2 printing both online and direct?
If so what would be the best way to go about implementing it?
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Usually, you can change the default paper trays through the control panel and through the Embedded Web server (EWS).
Check the settings on your control panel. Here is a link to the User Guide, check out page 94 and see if that helps you out.
m551 User Guide
For the EWS, put the printer IP address into your browser, then go to the tab that would list tray settings. Not sure exactly which tab has it for this printer series, but on other printer series it is on the system tab under paper setup.

By that I mean <command> + 1 for cyan, <command> + 2 for magenta etc. like Photoshop CS3 rather than <option> + 3 for cyan etc.
There's gotta be a way under Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts - but I can't find it!

Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the LG Extravert phone keypad?

having trouble with the keypad entering several of the same letters at the same time. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity?

Hi Whitehouse,
When the physical keys are entering a letter twice, it will definitely be something with the hardware. Can you verify that the keys appearing twice aren't getting stuck when pressed? You should be able to feel the key returning when the pressure of the finger comes off. If they're getting stuck, please check the charging port and headset jack for corrosion and any other damage to the phone. If the phone is under warranty it may require a replacement. Please keep us posted.
