My desktop just got very large. How do I shrink it?
If you have a Magic Mouse (and, maybe, this feature works with any scrolling Mouse) go to System Preferences>Mouse>Screen Zoom. See if Screen Zoom has been checked. If so, go to Screen Zoom>Options. There is a drop down menu to select a key or key combination to use while scrolling. When you press this key(s) and scroll, the screen, including the entire Desktop, will Zoom in or out.

Use different email address (gmail?) just for FaceTime and Messages.

My screen got very large - all the icons are huge where I can't see them all. I turned it off and back on and now it's so large I can't even get to all the numbers to unlock it... help
This question was asked and answered about a minute ago.
This is asked and answered very often. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
It is also covered in the manual - zoom feature.

My LR previews data file has just gone over 50GB, how can I shrink it as I really need the space on my laptop?
Or if you don't want to delete all of it, you can just discard 1:1 previews using Library->Previews menu - that may or may not buy you the space you need.
If you do opt for deleting the whole thing, here is an idea to keep it from going back to 50G: change the size/quality of standard previews and/or the policy for auto-removing 1:1 previews (Lr Preferences -> Catalog Settings -> File Handling). -
We just got married. How can we merge accounts/libraries?
We just got married, and each have a LARGE library of m4p's. How can we merge accounts/libraries into one family account?
To merge iTunes libraries, import the content and playlists from one to the other.
iTunes Store accounts can't be merged.

I just got a 5S how do I know I'm running 4G LTE
I just got my 5S and in the top corner it says 4G, but it also said that on my 4s which I know can't run 4G.
The 4G/LTE service is provided by your carrier , you can check the link below if your carrier does provide 4G/LTE:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
Also check with your carrier if you are in an area that has 4G/LTE coverage. -
My screen image got very large, like it was super zoomed.
I could open it only by holding one finger on the start of the swipe bar, then carefully moving the screen left with the other until the end of the bar came in view. I turned it off, held both the power and stqrt button down, no change. I plugged it into itunes, updated to 4.3.3, and it worked normal, except the contacts app is in a very large font. I can't get the font smaller in contacts now.
Hi,
Try checking the following settings for your font size:
Press "Settings" on your home screen ( a Silver icon with Gears)
Then choose "General," when you are in general, scroll to the bottom of the page, and choose "Accessibility"
By default, all the settings should say "Off," if not, try choosing each setting pages to turn them off.

Very large PDF, can't shrink it!
I've created a 44 page Indesign document using CS4 v6.0. The pages contain a random selection of 5 vector Illustrator eps files thought the document. The eps files range between 300k - 700k. When I export to create a PDF using the smallest file size settings I get a 80mb file. I've tried to optimize this in Acrobat Pro v9 but this makes no difference.
Any suggestions would be greatfully received.
Thanks
ChrisI think this question has come up before a while ago.
So, you have several very large
b vector
files. Let's see what Acrobat can do to shrink a file.
1.
b Subset fonts.
Instead of inserting an entire 50-150K per font, just insert the (comparatively few) characters that are used in the document. Net gain: I'd say 50-100K. If you use
i very few
characters in some fonts, it just might be worth outlining them instead.
2.
b Use image compression.
Some bitmap images may be stored uncompressed; the compression might not be optimal; or images are stored lossless (ZIP), while they can be stored lossy (JPEG) without significant problems. Or they are stored lossy but can even be storied
i lossier
-- decreasing the visual quality significantly, but hopefully still recognizable. Hey, it's your call.
3.
b Use image downsampling.
Some bitmap images may have a larger resolution than needed (>300 dpi for color and grayscale; >1200 dpi for black-and-white) or even
i wanted
-- Distiller, for example, has a threshold for color images at 450 dpi. Any larger is not just plain unnecessary, or even sensible overkill, it's a pure waste of perfectly good disk bytes and CPU cycles.
For a regular file that still should print nicely, a threshold of 300 dpi is enough. For something the client must be able to print for himself, 150 dpi is enough. For a screen preview, a mere 75 dpi should do (tell the client not to rely on the screen).
Now, where did I mention
i vector art
coming in? I didn't. Each and every line in vector art is as significant as every other one -- short or long, thick or thin (or invisible), filled or stroked. There are no set rules on which lines can be 'simplified' or discarded. Acrobat cannot 'downsample' vector art.
One possible solution is to rasterize your vector images, even if only for preview purposes. If the art is all full colour images, you might even rasterize them to 300 (or 450) dpi and use it for production. The files will still be large, but now it only depends on the physical dimensions of the images.
Another solution is to review the artwork. Are there lots of small details that *will* be invisible in the final print? Are there lots of paths built up from lots of points that can be replaced with a single curve? Stuff like that adds up. -
All of a sudden the print on my emails has gotten very small and narrow. How do I get it back to the original?
Thank you....don't know why it changed itself, but now I got it back to where I like it.

I am a very old and experienced Ps/Br professional, but can't get around this. My Bridge CC (on a very nice and fast quad core Windows 7 PC), at some point became very slow.
Even in the Essentials layout, just going through the thumbnails (already 100% cached, even small files, on fast HDDs always) with the arrow keys is quite slow. Opening Br became slow too.
I purged all the cache, I have no weird background programs running, there's 8GB or fast RAM. Br is now unbearable! Any ideas?Hi guys,
Same problem here. I noticed like 2 months ago this problem and I hoped will be fixed by some update but no. I`m a hard user of Bridge with Photoshop CC, InDesign CC and sometime Illustrator CC to. At home, I use CS6 suite (Bridge included !!!) on a 7 years old laptop and BRIDGE is 10x times faster than the one running at work (Bridge CC) on a dedicated graphic PC, i5 CPU (4 threads), 16 Gb RAM, 2Gb Video card, 512 SSD ecc.
So, can anyone give us some clue/explanation about what`s going on?
Thx a lot for your time. -

I just got a Mac; how do I transfer my files from my old PC?
Will they do it for me at my local Apple Store?
Hi Ericka ..
Read here > Switch 101: Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac
If that is a tad complicated for you take the Mac to an Apple Store and they will transfer your files for you.
Best to make a reservation in advance > Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar -
It worked earlier at least 2 months ago, but I did not remember which versions then due to automatic updates. I have not viewed my videos on Facebook for some time.
