The icons on the screen of my laptop are too large. How can I make them smaller. I have right

the icons on the screen of my laptop are much too large. I don't know how they got that way. I want them to return to the smaller ones. I have right clicked on the desktop and clicked on making icons and other things smaller. this made the items on the bar at the bottom much smaller but did nothing for the icons all over the screen. What else can I do. I am using Windows 7 HP pavillion dv7 notebook

Hi,
Left click on an empty area of the Desktop to ensure it's the active window, then hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroll area of the Touchpad to adjust the size.
Regards,

Why are my email pages the size of the computerscreen how can I make them smaller ??

It used to be that when I open to write an email, it is a small doco with borders, into which I could copy a table from Word and paste it in to the email without loss of integrity.
Today when I open to write, the email is the total size of the computer screen and when I introduce a table, the table loses it's integrity. That is to say, it is spread right across the huge page and not in a nice compact form as original.
May I add I've been trying everything but stand on my head to solve this problem but without success. I haven't stood on my head because the blasted computer would not be interested and I can't type while standing on my head !
Can you help please ?

Do you not still have the traditional maximise/minimize/restore buttons on your title bar? The Write window is just a regular window, much like most others.
Why don't you use Thunderbird's own table and formatting tools? Pasting from Word and other Office programs often gives unpredictable results, since there is a an awful lot of proprietary non-portable Microsoft-sepecific coding copied in with it. Take a look at the source of any message that's been processed by Outlook or its brethren (use ctrl+u) and you'll see pages of redundant and largely irrelevant code for various obsure font and formatting options.

I lost my tool bar on top. I no longer can see the Bookmarks, Tools, or Help links. Where are they and how can I reset them? I had them at first but now I don't see them.

I lost the tool bar on top. I can no longer see the Bookmarks, Tools, or Help links. I had them in when I began with your browser but now they're gone. How do I restore the default toolbar?

* In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
* Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

I did. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem. Do you have any more possible solutions?

You have Zoom on... double tap with three fingers to turn it off. Go into Settings > General > Accessibility to disable it.

I plugged in my iphone then i took my iphone out of the computer then all my notes were gone exept for one how can i get them back?

they are not in my mail how can i get them back?

have you tried a hard reset, if not try this
it doesn't matter whether the phone is on or not to start with
Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the "Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
You may let go when you see the silver Apple logo.
You have completed a hard reset successfully.

I've got a G5, OS 10.5, and an IBook OS 10.4. Both can reach the internet wirelesly. How can I make them aware of each other, so they can exchange files

I've got a G5, OS 10.5, and an IBook OS 10.4. Both can reach the internet wirelesly.
How can I make them aware of each other, so they can exchange files? Both have network
icons in the systems peferences, but I can't see how to hook them up.

That got me closer, but I'm not quite there yet. On each ofthe two computers I've allowed all users File Sharing and Remote Management. Each computer has an address 192.168.1.2 (or 4). When I enter those addresses into "connect to server" the reponse is either 'drop box' or 'public folder'. So it seems that only very basic sharing is allowed. I have'nt set up a public folder on either one.

After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

I'd already used this standard tool (exhaustively!), but for the problem encountered it operated in Catch 22 mode - you had to do two things but neither order was permitted. I did find an answer eventually, but am not sure what it was I did that solved it! Thanks, anyway.
