  • Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails "to" instead of  "from"

    Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails in the "to" order instead of  "from".

    Sure open Sent folder.
    Just above first message is an icon titled Sort By Date followed by a downward pointing arrow.
    Click on the arrow and select "To" from the list.

  • Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page   lines?

    With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

    A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
    1
    check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit
    2 
    in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
    then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.

    Is there any way to make the page size of a PDF document smaller?  I'm at 30"x36" and want 8.5"x11"

    The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.

  • Is there a way to make the view window on mail display messages with a larger size ?

    I would like to set it up as a default, and not have to zoom in or make larger (cmd +) each individual message.
    I have tried the font setup, but it does not work. It works for my own messages only.
    I guess what I'm asking is if the font-setup of the sender of the mail can be overidden.

    ~Bee: I think you meant to say Mail's preferences.
    I tried to do the same myself with the Fonts in Mail. Problem is it only enlarges part of messages for the most part. I could not get a good balance that way with some text enlarging while some stays small.
    Using the cmd+ keys to zoom brings everything in the message to a larger size which is much better. Yes it's a pain, but I haven't found a better alternative yet.
    Also, ctrl-mouse zoom works also, but not as crisp text. Wish the mouse tap zoom would work in mail, but it doesn't.
    It would be a nice addition if apple would just include a zoom setting for all screens including Safari.
    But as Bee suggested, increasing the font size does help depending on what is sent to you.

  • Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails "to" instead of  "from"; also when I select the 'sort by to' option I only see my own name

    When using the new layout of Mail, the 'sent' list never shows the addressee (to).  I only see my own name (which is pretty useless since I know I sent the messages...).  I do not find the option to change this.  In the classic layout, the 'sent' list shows the names of the addressees and any other feature I select under 'view'.  What do I do wrong?

  • Is there a way to auto increase font size in Mail?

    Some mail I receive uses a tiny font size.  I click "Command plus" to increase the font on these.  Is there a way to have Mail automatically increase any font size that is below a certain size?

    Hello 4thSpace,
    Have you tried increasing the fond size in the preferences?
    Mail menu > Preferences > Fonts & Colors.
    Play around with the 'Message font' and 'Fixed-width font' settings. If changes do not seem to be taking effect, restart mail after every change (you shouldn't have to).

  • When adding a text box to a book, is there a way to make the background of the textbox a solid color, so the text can more easily be seen?

    When adding a textbox to a page in a photo book, is there a way to make the background of the textbox a solid background (rather than right on the photo), so that it is easier to read the text?

    I don't believe there is a way to change the background of a specific text box, but with some themes you can change the background of the page to a different color. Or are you wanting to put the text box on top of an image?
    And I believe you can change the color of the font by highlighting the text, right or control-clicking, and choosing show fonts.

  • Is there a way to make the tolbars, tabs and icons bigger in Firefox 4?

    Is there a way to make the tolbars, tabs and icons bigger in Firefox 4?

    Yes right click on a toolbar, the customize option allows ordinary or small icons.
    Other options are to look at Operating System settings, or to adjust some of the Firefox preferences, and I also note mention of an add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer
    Additionally there are add-ons that change content size.

    If anyone does change the ''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'' in Firefox 4 I would be interested in what happens, there is a possible bug as mentioned in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/791213 4.0RC1 - Bookmark hover fault]

  • Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?
    I've been using Illustrator for some time now and find this part of the software to be annoying as I frequently mis-click this tiny area and the switching between foreground and background colour is easily mismanaged and you end up changing the colour of the one you didn't intend and then have to make two clicks to remedy that.
    Do any other users find this to be a badly designed part of the software?
    Also, while I'm here I suggest that when in the colour creation dialogue the 'preview' tick can somehow be switched to on as default.
    I can understand that there are situations where it might be better not to see your colour change in the document in real time, but to have to click this (again very small) tick box again and again feels like bad design.
    ^ both the above are frequent tasks for many users
    Interested to hear if there's any work arounds to fix this.

    Thanks for the tip,
    I do use x and shift x and also / to make a no stroke or no fill. But / is a long way across the keyboard. I guess I could reassign that function to a key that's nearer x.
    I think the real annoying bit is not only the small size of the two overlapping squares, but the fact that they change size depending on which one is selected. So the button that is not selected is encroached by the one that is selected (and overlaps it). This to me seems counter to interface design - ie, make the switch button smaller. Worse still is the no fill / no stroke button; insanely tiny.
    I would gladly redesign this corner of Illustrator for Adobe, and I'm sure quite a few other people would too!

  • HT4972 I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer?

    I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. When trying to update to iOS5.0, I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch my phone with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer so that my content will be kept?

    The best option is to copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  This will allow iTunes on your new computer to recognize and sync with your phone without deleting content.  You will also need to copy over any other synced data not in your iTunes library such as photos synced to your phone, calendars and contacts.
    If you can't do this, these articles will help you start syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

    AFAIK, no.

  • 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 make the music that plays on my iPhone 5 sound like it does on iTunes?

    I notices that the music that is played on iTunes sounds a lot clearer than it does when I listen to my music on my iPhone. Is there any way to make the music on my iPhone sound more clear?

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs ? If not then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893 .
    In terms of photos, then for those taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
