Trying to make Photos all the same size, not working out...

I'm hoping someone can make sense of this for me. I can't figure it out. I'm not savvy when it comes to DPI and Pixels.
While using PSE7 I make a new project.
I go to file and blank and make my new project 8 inches by 10 inches and 1200 resolution.
I then use file and open up some photos, one at a time, they are on the board on the bottom of my screen. I now have 3 of them.
I click each photo individual and bring it up on the editing board (not sure of the terminology). I click on image and resize and keep constraints. I make the photo 4" high by what ever width it makes it. I also make it 1200 resolution.
I drag each photo on the 8" X 10" and they are all not the same height, shouldn't they be the same next to each other, they are all 4" high, I checked. There is a just a little difference, but for the project I'm working on, I want them exactly 4" high.
any ideas??
Thanks.

Resolution of 1200 px/in is excessive. For printing, resolution 240-300px/in is adequate, and for web posting 72 will do nicely.
Suggest that you embrace the following work flow:
Go to File>New>blank file, enter width & height, resolution, Color mode:RGB, Backgrond:white
It is desirable that the individual pictures have the same, or at least close, resolution as the file created in step #1.
Open picture #1. Access the crop tool, and on the options bar of the tool you can enter width & height in inches, and the resolution, then size the picture with precision by cropping.
Either copy/paste, or drag, the picture to the blank file from step #1. Use the move tool to position the picture
Repeat for pictures 2&3.
It is helpful to have the rulers displayed , and the grid facilitates orientation (View>check rulers>grid)
Another approach in PEv.8, is to go to the Create tab, and go down to Photo Collage. You will find a layout for 3 pictures, and nice themes.

Is there a native app/software that will get my photos all the same size?

I know how to do this with photoshop but I'm not sure if there is any Apple native app/software that will do this for me.
Lets say I have 5 photos of different sizes and I want them all the same size. I know I could reduce them all in preview but that doesn't allow me to move the photo around and cut out stuff I don't want in it. Or I could crop them in Preview but then they are not automatically all the same size.
The way it works in photoshop is: I open up a new project that is the same size I want the photos to be. Let say 900x644. Then I copy one of the photos I want in that size (lets say it somewhat bigger) and when I paste it into that blank new project that is 900x644 I can move the pasted photo around to get it so what I want to fit into that newer smaller size is there.
Is there any way to do this without special software on a regular Mac. I'm trying to help a family member who doesn't really want to buy or learn a complicated graphics program. They have iLife 11 BTW but I don't see a way to do it with iPhoto.
Thanks for any ideas you may have!

Use the Automator app (it's in the app folder) to resize a batch of photos:

I just tried this and it works and is fast.

How to make frames all the same size?

Any script for how to make several pictures sitting in exactly same size frame?

Does anybody understand what I mean?

How do you use your pictures for web, iPad & smartphones? All the same size??

i realy think back and froth about this question.
i guess it makes sense - to use all the same size - because newest Ipads and Iphones are with retina-screens !??
on the other hand i use background-pictures for the website with a lenght of 1800px (it's 400 kbit) so it may slow down my the mobile version
but i know , people always scroll and zoom into evrything with an Ipad and smartphone ... So what to do? What is your hint ?
Thank you for your time ;-))

For me anyways, I 'always' create my images to the size I need and then bring them into what ever web design tool I am using wether it is Muse, Dreamweaver, Coda or a number of others. It takes a few minutes longer but I always get the results I need and expect.

Certain apple products (iTunes) require a different password than my apple id password. Why - and can I make them all the same?

Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Have a nice day,

How do you find the size of a current layer so you can make other layers the same size

When I have an PSD icon set and I want to size a layer to a size that looks good. How do I see the dimentions of that layer so that I can select another layer and make it the same size.

well that's my point Chris. I have a PSD that has 150 icons in it. I want to take 5 of them and make them the same size 300 x 300 from the 180 that they are.
If I select one and then press Apple T, I can see that it is 180 x 180 in the info window. I can then go to the transform bar at the top where it says 100% x 100% and type in 180px then 180px in the other.

Or duplicate the layer and replace the contents...
Then repeat for the other 4 layers. Is this the correct way (easiest?) How do you replace the layer after duplicating it.

I had photoshop 10 on my mac pro. I bought a new computer and tried to transfer it. The transfer did not work in that the software said it was incompatible. I contacted adobe and they are no hope.

Adobe said to ask you guys what to do. One of the support personel gave me a link to cs3. The link did not work.

I bought a new computer and tried to transfer it.
What does this mean exactly?
If you are looking for the installer you should be able to get them from this site (if you follow the instructions):

When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small. Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books. I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened. Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto. Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

Contacts per iMac address book: 1,301 iCloud: 1,486 iPhone 4s: 1,508 iPhone 4: 1,489 How can I make them all the same?

My address book has been an intense problem for me for a while (i.e. even pre-iPhone 4s/iCloud). Before I upgraded, my iPhone 4 had thousands of duplicate contacts. The address book was up to ~7,500 even though what was then Mobile Me had somewhere in the 1,000 to 1,500 range for contacts. So after I upgraded, I attempted to fix it by doing the following:
I connected my iPhone 4S to the iMac (after I set it up with the latest iPhone 4 backup), went to the iTunes info tab for my device and unchecked syncing for any address book contacts, calendars, email accounts. And then I synced it. This didn't work. I believe my contacts were still at ~7,500.
So next I tried checking just the Sync Address Book Contacts option on the info tab which then allowed me to check contacts under the Advanced/Replace Information on this iPhone section at the bottom of the info tab. This made my iPhone contact list further balloon up to 13,000 + contacts.
So the next thing I did (still in the info tab) was to select Selected Groups under the "Sync Address Book Contacts" section of the info tab. I believe I still had the option to replace the info on my iPhone selected. I then selected one of my contact groups that had no contacts in it. Why would I create a contact group with no contacts in it? I didn't. I created some smart groups and prior to my iPhone 4s upgrade I noticed the smart groups contact lists I spent some time setting up were not populated with anything. Same with some of the non-smart group contact lists I had created.
After telling it to only sync that empty group and to replace the contents on my iPhone I ended up with 1,508 contacts. Why I didn't end up with either zero or the same number as in iCloud is beyond me. This at least seems closer to my true number of contacts but as mentioned in my subject above the number of contacts differ between all three places (iPhone 4s, iCloud and iMac address book). I also noticed that my wife is no longer in my iPhone 4S or in iCloud as a contact but she is listed in the iMac contacts which has fewer contacts than the other two places.
So I believe that in all three locations, there are situations where the address book includes contacts not in the other two locations, and vice versa (excludes contacts that are in the other locations). Can somebody help me understand how I can truly sync my contacts so that they are identical in all locations? This has been a huge problem for me since the Mobile Me roll out and sadly continues to persist now that I've migrated to iCloud.
Blah, I am so fed up with this persistent issue.

You will need to delete that iCloud account on the device, then create a new one and login with the alternate AppleID.

"Open each folder in the same window" not working

hey guys, just today, I noticed that whenever i double click a folder, it opens in a new window. I went to folder properties, and made sure I checked "Open each folder in the same window," and its checked. I tried switching it on, then off, then restoring all defaults in both those settings and the view settings, and I've tried restarting the computer, even using a system restore point. No Matter what, whenever I double click a window, it opens in a new window, but if I use the navigation pane, or if I highlight a window and click the open button at the top left, it opens in the same window. This is very very very annoying, because just navigating my harddrive, I might end up with 20 windows open to reach just 1 file.
Does anyone know what's wrong? or how I can fix this?

I was experiencing this same issue on my laptop and spent several frustrating hours of searching in vain for a solution. I tried most of the same fixes mentioned here with no success (re-registering DLL's, running the system file checker [sfc /scannow],
turning off the navigation pane, performing virus scans, etc). After almost giving up, I discovered that I only experienced this behavior when I accessed Explorer from the shortcut which was pinned to my taskbar. When I opened the "Computer" shortcut
on my desktop, I was able to open individual folders without having new windows open each time. I suspect that this is related to the new design/function of the taskbar in Windows 7. To get the results I wanted, I opted to revert to the "classic" style
taskbar seen in Windows Vista (AKA the "Quicklaunch" toolbar) by following the instructions here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/add-the-quick-launch-bar-to-the-taskbar-in-windows-7/
Then, I simply added a new shortcut to "Computer" in the new Quicklaunch toolbar and, "Voila!" - problem solved. Oddly enough, I don't experience the same behavior on my desktop PC which is also running Windows 7. Ain't Microshaft grand?!? (a-hem)

Bluetooth in 4s and Iphone 5..still the same useless not working.. why is that?

We got frustrated with Iphone when my friend bought 4s and we tried to connect to my BB ...but nothing... then I got an Iphone 5 hopefully i could use the bluetooth still the same... funny thing is... the devices we were trying to be connected were really near my phone but still it didnt detect nor recognize... what seems to be the problem???

There is no problem. Your iPhone is working exactly as intended.
You cannot connect an iPhone to ther non-iOS devices for file sharing. There are apps in the AppStore that allow sharing of photos etc. via Bluetooth between iOS devices.
Here are the Bluetooth profiles supported by iOS:

What exactly are you attempting to do via Bluetooth?
