Is there are way to make the orange star-rectangle shape symmetrical?

In the tutorial, after joining the orange rectangle and stars and going back in to reshape the points, is there a way to make sure the shape is symmetrical (such as just by changing one side and then automatically applying the same angles to the other side)?

Lysie,
Without knowing anything about the tutorial or the specific case, but presuming symmetry to start with and that you wish to move individual Anchor Points on one side and have the mirrored movements on the other side:
Normally, when you wish to create something mirrored, you work with half the shape and have it reflected (which can be done live), but when you have both sides already, maybe it is better to mirror by repeating.
For each set of Anchor Points, you may (after initially deselecting):
1) With the Direct Selection Tool ClickDrag the Anchor Point to a new position on one side;
2) Click the corresponding Anchor Point on the other side and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+M (Object>Transform>Move) keeping the values and only changing the sign for Horizontal (from + to - or - to +).
If you need to move the same Ancjor Point multiple times, perform both 1) and 2) each time.

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!

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.

when i Add a anchor point, without converting it?
i like to be automatic just like in photoshop pentool.

1. Path with straight segment selected.
2. PenTool: click the segment to add the anchorPoint. If the straight segment has no handles extended, the added anchorPoint will be a corner point. The added anchorPoint is selected.
3. Click the Convert To Smooth button in the Control Panel. The anchorPoint is converted to Smooth and its handles are auto-extended.
OR
3. Press Alt to invoke the convert tool. ClickDrag the just-added AnchorPoint to drag out both its handles to the length desired. If SmartGuides is on, the handles will snap to the segment.
If a segment is straight and has no extended handles, clicking the segment with the Pen tool adds a corner AnchorPoint with no handles extended.
If a segment is straight and has either of its handles extended, clicking the segment with the Pen tool adds a Smooth AnchorPoint with both handles extended.

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 iPad Common Access Card (CAC) enabled?

Is there a way to make the iPad Common Access Card (CAC) enabled?

There are two current readers with iPad support, with at least two more expected in the next couple of months.
Be careful of what you refer to be "CAC enabled". The true answer to this depends upon what your software requirements are.
Please refer to http://militarycac.com/mobile.htm#iPhone_and_iPad as a good reference source.
Good luck!

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.
See also [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772884#answer-126017 thread] '' " I would like to make the font sizes on my menu bars, tool bars, and tabs larger. How can I change those font sizes only? " ''
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]

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.

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:

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 Background App Be Useable?

Hi. Is there a way to make the background useable? For example, you have a fullscreen only app in the background and you want/wanted (which is the correct grammar btw, those who're native speakers and why?) and you have Safari for some tutorial, is there a way to access the background app (for example if it's a drawing app you're learning).
It is possible I guess if the background is/was (which is the correct grammar again btw and why) was resizable.
Thanks in advance.
Gbu.

Another way to be able to get to the tutorial in Safari would be to double-click the titlebar of the drawing app's window. Doing that should minimize it, dropping it into the Dock, thus making the Safari window visible. You can bring the drawing back up and front by clicking its icon in the Dock.
I can see a lot of confusion happening if it were possible to have the top window inactive and one in the back of it active. One would have to be really alert as to which window was the active one, to avoid something happening in the wrong place. I'm glad it doesn't work that way.
As far as the drawing app not behaving in accordance with Apple's guidlines re full-screen windows, well, that's on the publisher of the program. Apple publishes developer guidelines for a reason.
