  • Is there any way to make the cursor appear larger in Mac OS X?

    Wow, love my 27" screen, but have trouble finding the cursor! Is there any way to make the cursor appear larger? Perhaps adjustable for fine print capture?
    Thanks!

    System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Mouse -> Cursor size
    However, I prefer using Mouse Locator (free download)

    I like this Mouse Locator Graphic

  • TS2951 Is there a way to make a dvd Boot Start Up Copy for Lion 7.4.1 ? on a MAC PRO 2011

    Hello,
    Is there a way to make a dvd Boot Start Up Copy for Lion 7.4.1 ? on a MAC PRO 2011 ? I only have the Newest
    Lion Thumb Drive 7.0 and will not allow me to ever Reinstall my MAC.  Which I like to do from time to time....
    Is the Thumb Drive Suppose to reinstall the entire computer or just upgrade ?  Apple Store does not know what
    level each customer is at so the Thumb Drives must Totally Start from Scratch.
      It worked Once in Nov a Month after I Bought the MAC PRO in 2011 by customer care telling me to Hold down the Option Key When I Turn on the MAC ?  I hope That is Correct.
    SO WHAT I AM REALLY WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT MACS IS CAN YOU MAKE A BOOT DVD and NOT with Time Machine or an External Hard Drive.

  • Is there any way to make the scroll bars wider and blue in Lion?

    Is there any way to make the scroll bars wider and blue in Lion?

    Nope, afraid not. The only third-party utility that you might look at is LionScrollBars 0.5.4. You can search for others at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • Is there a way to make digital photos look less like video in FCP?

    I know this is probably a question better suited to the Adobe Photoshop forums, but does anyone know a way to make digital photos look more like film than video in FCP? I know about watching for hotspots and such, but is there anything else I can do?
    Thanks in advance,

    All links in the chain peddle the bicycle: in this case, I would guess your photography may suffer a bit if your colors are blown out. In assuming you have a chance to rephotograph, establish in your menu that your color temperature matches your lighting. Try K6300 for strobe, K6100 for strobe umbrella, K3100 up or down a few for tungsten: make sure your lights are at 45 degree from your photos, reflection of the camera. Your best bet is to WBalance them, and at all the same exposure, as Automatic tends to give you the neutral color and neutral value. Don't trust automatic unless you're in a pinch. You can also set in your menu a "less vivid" level, but I wouldn't trust this either.
    Good luck.

  • Is there any way to make my iPad look COOL again?

    I absolutely HATE the new look forced on me by updating to IOS 7.  Is there any way to get back the cooler, more stylish, more grownup look of IOS 6?  Used to be, when I picked up my iPad and hit the home button, I was happy.  Now, it just stresses me out.  : (  I just went into the calendar for the first time since updating.  HATE it.  Every day, I find something else visually that makes me not want to use my iPad anymore.

    There is no going back. You can search the App Store for appropriate apps that may look better to you. Personally, I have had no problems with how things look.

  • Are there any apps that make it now possible to scroll with Mountain Lion ?

    I just gave up on a project that required me to be able to scroll through a Senate bill. I'll probably go back, but it just shouldn't be so difficult, so painful. and I'm not talking about the bill's language. No, it's just Apple's decision to do away with the USEABLE search arrows that existed before Mountain Lion, and, yes, I know that you can use the little up and down triangles--sometimes--for this purpose.  I have written to Apple about this on more than one occasion, but I never felt that this would do any good. Anyway, I came here to see if anyone knows of an app that has been developed to overcome this strange, almost malicious, behavior of Apple's. Are there any apps I can use on my iMac for scrolling? If not why not? I know I have a lot of company in my disgust with Apple's behavior, so I have to there is some prohibitively difficult problem that makes such a fix impossible. Is that the reason why no one has come to the rescue of Apple's suffering customers?

    For very long documents in PDF or on a web page, I just lean on the space bar for big jumps (Shift-spacebar goes up), or on the down arrow keys for short scrolling. If I'm on my laptop, the trackpad provides both large jumps and fine control. If I'm on my desktop, I love my scroll wheel mouse.
    In apps like Word, you can't scroll with the spacebar because you need it to type spaces, so I just use the Page Up/Page Down keys. On short Mac keyboards you press Fn+Up Arrow or Fn+Down Arrow to page up/down.
    There are so many more and better ways to scroll now compared to the 1980s when the only way was to click-click-click over and over again on stupid scroll arrows. If it stopped scrolling it meant you had to re-aim the mouse because the mouse slipped a little and the arrow is no longer hitting the arrow. If you wanted to scroll up, you had to move the mouse quite a ways because the arrows were on opposite ends of the bar. Scroll arrows were the worst and least efficient way to scroll and I don't miss them at all.
    I'm glad we have so many superior alternatives now where, unlike scroll arrows, you don't even have to look at the screen to scroll quickly and accurately. Today, the only good use for a scroll bar is to tell you how far you are through the document.

  • Is there a way to make a picture look like it is talking?

    or do you have to use some outside software for this?
    I have a picture I want to use in imovie and make it look like it is speaking to someone, I think I found some outside software, but was wondering if anyone knew how to do this with the software I have? (imovie, iphoto, photoshop elements) thanks in advance! Pete

    I have the 99$ version of it, which has a feature called "rotoscoping" that lets you put audio in sync to a animation. I would highly recommend iStopMotion, as there are three programs for Mac in the animation category and iStopMotion is the best one, in my opinion.
    As for your other question, I am using it on Snow Leopard and, aside from a couple small glitches, it works beautifully. The interface doesn't look like it came from Tiger-- it looks like it came from ten years into the future!
    With iStopMotion, you can export your projects into Quicktime movies for later importing into iMovie, Final Cut Express, or Final Cut Pro. So you could make an animation with rotoscoping and then put it into iMovie to add titles or live action.
    NOTE: Rotoscoping is only included with the 99$ version, but it's really worth it to make the upgrade.
    Good luck in making your movie!

  • Is there a way to make the multitrack behave as the edit window?

    I have been using the 30 day trial and am on my last day. I find Audition great except for 2 things(both of which I probably just don't know how to use).
    1.Is there a way to make a track shrink or enlarge with the mouse scroll as in edit. I find it really annoying when all it does in the multitrack is scroll up and down between the tracks.
    2.I can't seem to click on a track in the multi track and get it to play from there. I have to drag the play marker to that point.
    I'm sure these problems can be rectified and it's just because I haven't read the full spec.
    Many Thanks

    >I find Audition great
    Yes it is!
    >1.Is there a way to make a track shrink or enlarge with the mouse scroll as in edit. I find it really annoying when all it does in the multitrack is scroll up and down between the tracks.
    You are scrolling in the window you need to place your mouse over the vertical bar on the far right of the screen and then scroll
    >2.I can't seem to click on a track in the multi track and get it to play from there. I have to drag the play marker to that point
    Right mouse click on transport control (play button) and select play from cursor to end of file.

  • Is there a way to make the mouse bigger

    Is there a way to make the mouse bigger

    Yes.  In System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > move the cursor size slider more to the right.  The graphics aren't very good the larger the size but a slight increase really helps.

  • Is there a way to change the cursor hotspot systemwide on Mountain Lion?

    Hello community.
    Is there a way to change the cursor hotspot on Mountain Lion, systemwide?
    Like editing the original cursor file (or downloading one) and replacing the original one?
    Reason: when I enlarge the arrow, the "absoulute" tip (top of the white outline) gets distant from the internal tip (top of the black core), so sometimes the white outline needs to stick out if I want to click the approprate area - because the hotspot is on the internal tip. To me it's counter-intuitive. I would prefer to have the hotspot on the absolute edge of the cursor (tip of the white outline). This is not debatable - this is my private preference, and I've read today that it's not only mine - there is a number of users who want the same.
    I know it's always been like this on Macs, so please avoid questions like "why to you want that", answers like "get used to it" or any kind of hostility, for these are useless. The quiestion is how can I change it, if possible.
    Thanx guys!

    I don't know how you get to the System folder in Mavericks; and even if I found the folder with the alternative cursors in it, I would have no way of switching to any of them.  The designers have obviously not anticipated that anyone would wish to do this.
    The System Preferences has an adjustment under Accessibilty which allows the user to change the size of the cursor, but nothing else.
    So I guess that there is no way to make the change without actually re-engineering the System somehow.
    If someone can find a way, I will be most pleased to be enlightened; only please make the directions explicit.

  • Is there any way to enlarge a cursor on a graph, or attach a .bmp image to it so that it shows up better?

    I am using an intensity graph to display position (and information) from GPS, using the graph's cursor, point only without crosshairs, to indicate the location. Sometimes it is hard to find the cursor. I would like to enlarge it, make it flash, attached an led indicator, bitmap image or something to make its location more obvious against the background data. I've thought about attaching the LED indicator, but cursor position would need to be calibrated to the screen aspect ratio. This works, but its difficult given that the graph has varying Scales. Does anyone know an easy way to make the cursor larger or more obvious using any of the methods mentioned above?

    I came up with this solution but I now do not think it is what you are looking for now that I reread your posting. My example reponds to mouse clicks from the user on the intensity graph and it moves a highly customized picture control to where you mouse up. You can learn how to modify controls in the "LabVIEW� Custom Controls, Indicators,and Type Definitions" manual.
    I think what you want instead is to programatically move the cursor and have an image move to the new location. I could not figure out how to do this reliably. The problem is that the cursor location is given relative to the data and there is no property that gives the postion relative to the screen. I have in the past come up with fancy algorithms for making this conversion but all my s
    olutions were flaky--they did not work right when the VI as loaded from file.
    Attached you will find my example. The logic for controlling the picture control movements is not finished but it gives you an idea of what you might expect with this method.

  • Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

    Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

    There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

  • Is there a way to make all page margins the same?

    I've exported a book file from indesign. Since the pages were in a book-type spread, the odd and even pages have different margins. The odd page has the bigger margin on the left, while the even has the bigger margin on the right.  Is there any way to make these identical after the fact. I can't go back and redo the indesign file.

    Thanks, there are 382 pages. Can't do them one by one.  And I purposely made the margins different in indesign, to give people more space in the middle.  The margins are as follows:
    But when I try to reverse the inside outside on one page of the spread, just reverse them, so the dimensions are the SAME, all the text and photos move.

  • Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or ?

    This may be a stupid question. I am hooking my MBP to my lcd tv. When I first connected the television, my tv displayed the message "mode not supported". Having played a little at this I simply went to my display preferences and looked at what resolution was running to my tv. (I have my display preferences in the toolbar) It was running 1920x1080 at 60Hz and right above that there was another 1920x1080 at 60Hz so I clicked on that and my external display lit right up. (Turns out the second resolution's refresh rate is actually 59.9Hz) So no problem right? Well I use this set up as sort of a media center so I like to run my MBP with its lid closed. When I close the lid, and rewake the MBP, my television gives me the message "mode not supported". So there is a signal but the tv can't display it. This leads me to believe that when I close the lid on my MBP it decides to run at the 60Hz as opposed to the functional 59.9Hz. The problem is I can't see the display to change the resolution or refresh rate. Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or refresh rate? I have tried changing it before I close the lid. I have tried it in mirrored display mode. Nothing works so far. Please Help!

    Not really. In the Displays preferences you can only check the option to show supported resolutions, but that only will be present with another display connected (I believe.) On laptops it isn't an option, obviously, but it may be present once you connect an external display.
    You might try using the shareware utility SwitchResX - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
