Is there a way to make the icons/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

If you right-click in the top of title bar of any Finder window there is an option to un-check 'use small icon size', though toggling between the two makes little difference on my screen.
Another trick is you can zoom the whole screen by holding down the 'control' key and using a two-finger swipe up on the trackpad to enlarge, down to go back to normal.

Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?

Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?
I went through all my old formats (VHS, hi8, miniDV, etc) and captured them. They end up as .mov files. Some of the longer 2hr ones are about 28GB.
If I am making a new project and I want to edit in short clips from several of these longer files, is there a way to save a short clip from an existing file without compressing it any further?
In other words, lets say I have 10 2hr files, but I know I only want 1 minute from each. Is there a way to select the good 1 minute from each .mov file that I want to use and a version of this 1 minute from each in the folder I am working on the project in, without compressing them??? I like to keep all of the content I am working with on a project in its own folder in case the project needs to be moved from one hard drive to the next while I am working on it. I would hate to have to make a folder that is 280GB or more when I only need a minute from each larger file.
I hope I have asked this in a way that is understandable. Maybe there is a term for what I want to do, that I don't know yet that has its own help section too. Thanks for any assistance

Thanks Jon - That's kind of where I started, but the part of that I need help with on is the second to last step.
"Export using a codec that matches the source material. "
The codec they were captured in is .mov at DV quality, but then after picking .mov, there are so many other options to choose from as far as compression goes from sound quality and settings, to how many passes, etc. I just want the new clip to be of the same quality as the original clip. It looks so complicated and its not clear to me what options to pick to match the original.
Is there a setting or preference that helps you to match the compression settings of the original clip? Or is there a way to detect the settings of the original clip so I can repeat that in the shortened clip??

Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list. For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library? Thanks -Rog

Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

How can I change the year of an album in itunes11 without changing the years of all titles?

How can I change the year of an album in itunes11 without changing the years of all titles. For example: the reissues of an 1982 album has a 1995 bonus track, but I want it to be sorted as an '82 album? In earlier versions, when itunes sorted my album "by year", it took the year of the first title as the album's year (which makes a lot of sense). In itunes 11, however, the /highest/ year of any title in an album is taken to be the album's year. This upsets my entire catalogue. Can this be changed, will this be changed?

Highlight all of the songs,File>Get Info, change the genre

Is there anyway to increase the number of minutes to your plan without changing the rest of your plan?

Is there any way to increase the number of anytime minutes for your plan without changing the rest of your plan?

CBaker13,
An important question. Most calling plans established by Verizon Wireless are designed to cover calling plan minutes as part of your calling plan rather than a separate feature. You can generally keep most other features if you change your calling plan if that is what you are concerned about.
Maybe I can provide a better answer with some details and make a recommendation to you. Could you advise us what calling plan you currently have? What specific concerns do you have regarding what features you might lose?

How do I change the value labels in a line graph without changing the data in the source table?

Where the graph values show 1 I want them to change to text (different each time). Is there a way to make this happen?
Also, is there a way to connect the series markers - circles - with solid lines even if there is no data in the table. E.g from 1.5 to 2.5 a solid line even if there is no data under 2.0?
Is there perhaps a better way altogether to achieve this graph?
Thanks.

HI Mick,
Sounds like something that could be achieved with no "graph" at all.
This is a combination of a table and an inserted shape (line). Enter the dates as the goals are achieved. Here's a second image of the same 'chart,' taken before the table grid was whited out:

Is there a way to make toolbars/icons larger in C6?

I have a high resolution laptop (Asus Zenbook UX301), and I'm wondering if the user interface for C6 is scalable? The icons are extremely small, and I find it hard to believe that Adobe wouldn't allow scaling, especially because so many of the people who use photoshop are likely to have very high resolution screens. If there really is no way to fix this, it seems like a HUGE oversight on Adobe's part.

CS6 does not support High-DPI displays. Search the forum, this has been dioscussed numerous times.

Is there a way of adding music to an Iphone from a computer without deleting the music already on there?

I have music on my iphone that is not in my computer's Itunes library and visa versa, i would like to download a specific group of songs from my computer's itunes library to my Iphone's. The problem is I do not want to go through the entire process of syncing my entire library again and I fear that if do the songs that i have on the iphone will be deleated. is there a way this can be solved, maybe through icloud or something?

The home page '''''about:home''''' is built in to Firefox and should/would not be affected.
Though it should/would not affect '''''about:home''''', there is an entry for Mozilla on their list, if you are using some page at mozilla as your home page. On my installation that item on their list is shown as disabled; I do not recall disabling that item myself, therefore it could be their default (disabled) and they know that item is not functioning properly on their list.
You may be correct in that there could be a conflict with another add-on. The only way to determine that is to experiment by installing '''''HTTPS Everywhere''''', disabling/enabling a few extensions (or plugins), restart Firefox and repeat until you find the conflicting item.

Is there a way to paste content from one ID doc to another without importing the styles?

Hi all,
I often work with transferring content over from one catalog to another...each catalog has a completely different set of styles. Since I am an organization freak and like to keep things as organized as possible, it drives me crazy when all of the styles from the other ID doc are transferred over into my my new document. What I used to do was delete all of the styles from the catalog I was copying over from and save a copy like that simply for the use of copying information over (so that no styles were brought over), but I am currently working with copying over content from multiple catalogs that were built in InDesign and it will take me forever deleting all of the styles in those documents.
Normally it is a GOOD thing when styles are copied over, but not in this case. It is not important that format is carried over either...I just want the content. Normally I will grab a bunch of content (tables, text boxes and images) at a time to copy over. I amjust not able to use "Paste without formatting" either:( It is greyed out. I very often use the "Paste without formatting" when pasting in text by itself into a text block and that works great! But is there any way I can do something similar with a bunch of contents that are being pasted? Or even if I just want to paste a text block or two?
Help?
Thank you so much in advance for your help:)
Best,
Christine

Mary and Peter,
Thank you both so much for your input...those are both really great ideas! I had actually not known about the ability to "break the link" to the styles... I must have missed seeing that all this time I have been using InDesign...that is really useful!! And I also like the ideas of renaming the styles...I will have to see what works best tomorrow as I continue on. There are just soooooo many different styles involved that renaming them may not be feasible in this particular instance so I may need to just "break the links"....but then I just remembered that there are lots of table styles, cell styles and character/paragraph styles linked with the tables alone that I have to copy over....grrrrr. (making my hair stand on end thinking of it...lol)
Isn't there a way to break the links to EVERY style linked to one selected item (break the link to all table/cell/character/paragraph/object styles in one fell swoop) ?

Is there a way for me to block a page within a website without blocking the entire site?

I want to block some kids from my son's Facebook profile, if I block them using FB he will just unblock them. I've tried altering the hosts file but it doesn't work unless I block FB entirely. Is there a way to block pages from a site without blocking the entire site?

Not sure but try this:
-> Go to your son's page on Facebook
* Right-click empty space within the page and click '''View Page Info'''
* In the '''Page Info''' window, select the '''Permissions''' panel and change the setting to '''Block''' for all options
* Close the Page Info window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.

Is there any way to log in to active directory from a mac without joining the AD domain?

I am looking for a way to log in to active directory without having the Mac join the AD domain. Basically i have not been able to understand all the ramifications of joining the AD domain. From what I have read in various documentations on the apple site and some of the AD plug in sites, it seems that if the mac joins the domain, all kinds of group policies get 'transfered' to the mac experience. How exactly does that affect the privileges of the local mac user on their machine? do they need to change their mac password? what happens to their existing home directories? what happens when they have their laptops at home?
TIA

The reason i am hesitant about binding the macs is that i'm not sure what are all the effects of that. will they have to change their mac passwords / usernames? more than likely the auto login will have to go. If there are multiple accounts on the mac (ex one admin account and other regular and admin accounts) how does binding affect them? how will it work when the mac is not in the office? if they have admin rights on the mac but not on the windows AD, how will that affect them? Do you know of a source i could go to to find answers for questions like these?
Unfortunately, the source for answers should be your IT department. I can tell you how my machine works. I have a personal machine with no restrictions and a work machine bound to an Active Directory domain. Even my work machine has few restrictions compared to normal. I have a privileged account I can use if necessary. Also, I'm pretty much a goody-two-shoes so I don't try to circumvent restrictions.
Basically, the Mac uses a system called Open Directory to manage user accounts. Every Mac comes with its own miniature Open Directory server. If you have a network with MacOS X Server, you can use the server's Open Directory. You can also use Microsoft's Active Directory to perform all the same tasks. The user's logins and passwords would be whatever is on Active Directory. They can change their password on the Mac and it will change the Active Directory password. Active Directory can enforce passwords expirations too.
I am not an Active Directory administrator, so I can't give you specifics. Pretty much everything you have mentioned can be controlled via Active Directory. That is what it is for. It does require active participation of your IT staff. If you don't have that, then I don't see it working out well. It sounds like a paradox. IT wants to control users, but doesn't want to deal with it. You can't have it both ways. Maybe let it be known among the Mac users that visiting those restricted sites could cause IT to get rid of Mac altogether. That does sound like a probable outcome.

HT4527 Is there any way to copy content of iPod to an external drive without having the Id and password on the device?

I am afraid I will lose content if I plug in to my laptop. I have aquired a used iPod Classic and want to keep some of the content on my external drive to merge with my existing account. Is there any way to do so. All of my research points to needing to authorize my computer first, but I do not have that info. Thanks for any help.

You are not entitled to the content of the device. Wipe it out and start afresh.

HT201328 Is there any way to confirm that Iphone4 is unlocked from existing carrier without swapping the SIM card from new carrier ?

I have followed AT&T instructions to unlock the phone and don't have any micro-SIM handy to try it out.

Did you receive the message that says "Congratulations! Your phone is now unlocked etc. etc." after completing the restore of your phone?
If so; Then the phone is completely unlocked.
If not; Then the unlock has not completed correctly, in which case you should attempt restoring again, and then failing that, contact ATT to make sure the unlock has fully processed from their end

Is it possible to increase the size of everything on the display (All fonts, icons, menu bars, etc) at once without changing the screen resolution?

I have a user with a new 27" Mac who is very.... specific... with how she wants things. She says she needs the displayed size of everything on her computer increased as everything is too small. I tried changing the resolution to 1920x1080, which she stated was around the size she wants, but this will not work for her since things aren't crystal clear and she says it hurts her eyes to view it like this.
I come from a Windows background so I assumed there would be a way to simply increase the display size of everything in one shot. If not, what hoops will I need to jump through to have this adjusted for every application on the machine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OS X doesn't have a UI size increase ability like what you expect on Windows, it's been a long complaint of Mac users for ages, but Apple simply refuses to listen.

How do I get iTunes songs off the iCloud back onto my computer, preferably without changing the purchase date to today's date?

Trying to download previously purchased iTunes songs that are firmly embedded in the iCloud. At one point these songs were all on my computer. Then I idiotically joined iCloud. All the songs were sucked off and into iCloud. iCloud couldn't provide more than twenty seconds of any song without freezing whatever device, Macbook Pro, iPhone 4s, ipods, or breaking up the playback into fits and starts and finally silence, ever, no matter if the connection was cable or wireless.
I have ever update on every device, I have the max. RAM, excess disk/flash space. The problem is the difficulty of downloading. Oddly the download to my ancient PC went almost without a hitch, it is with Apple devices that the trouble lies.
About 2/3 of the songs have successfully downloaded to my computer. However the purchase date, which I used frequently as a search/sort function, have on many of the songs been switched to today's date, or the date of the latest download instead of my original purchase date.
Many songs downloaded, many remain in the cloud with the 'cloud' icon beside them.
Clicking on the "download all" icon doesn't download them all.
They begin to download and then stop/freeze.
I'm reduced to manually scrolling to each song and clicking on the 'cloud' to download, this works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. The whole thing usually crashes after a while.
This is where I am now, at the iTunes store on the "Purchased" page with all my songs in a list with "downloaded" or a "cloud icon" in the far right column, frozen once again.
I really would like to maintain the original purchased date(the day when I purchased the song from iTunes) but I'm to the point where I'd just be happy to get them downloaded onto the Macbook Pro, and hopefully never deal with the cloud again for the rest of my life.
Lastly, if anyone can recommend an alternative music site to iTunes it would be welcome.
Thank you.

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"
