How do i increase the font size on my macbook air
how do i increase the font size on my macbook air
Unfortunately Apple hasn't yet given us a resolution independant OS yet so there are two solutions: 1) poor and 2) sad. You can open System Preferences and select a lower resolution in the Displays tab. The result is a larger font which is slightly fuzzy. Or you can change the default font size or magnification in each program (that allows this). Unfortunately many programs don't allow it.
This problem (and my aging eyes) are why my next Mac notebook will be retina. They scale to other resolutions better than the Air does. -
Why is the time different on my Macbook Air and my iPhone?
Hi All,
For some reason the time on my iPhone is consistently 7 minutes behind the time displayed on my Macbook Air (Mavericks). Both devices are set to display the time automatically according to my time zone. After checking time.org, it looks like my phone has the correct time. There must be a logical reason why this is happening and some kind of solution, no?
Thanks for any advice.On your iPhone ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then tap Settings > General > Date & Time
Switch: Set Automatically ON
No data is lost due to a reset. -
Why did the "custom" size option disappear from list when creating a PDF in Photoshop?
For my job, I must have the custom option available to me in Photoshop. I'm currently using CS4 and have been for years without a problem. Yesterday "custom" option from the choose size list disappeared, along with several other options (that I don't use). I have shut down the program and restarted. I've shut down the computer - even over night - and it is still gone. Why did this happen and how do I get this very important tool back?
This one. It only appears once a download has begun.

Why does the screen flicker on new MacBook Air when I scroll?
I just bought a new MacBook Air a few days ago. I notice that the screen flickers when I scroll and is not anywhere near as smooth as on my old MacBook Pro.
I've experimented with this a little more. I don't think the screen is flickering necessarily but the scrolling is not always as smooth as I remember it on other computers I have used. The text looks jumpy. Maybe it's the operating system? I think it happens more if there is a lot of information to scroll through.
Is this normal? -
I'm scared!
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Since we know nothing about the age of your machine, and the OS you're using it's rather difficult to offer any reliable help.
Help us help you. The more complete the description of your problem is (which MacBook Air you have, which OS you're using, ) the more useful assistance we can provide, and, the sooner we can provide it..
This might be a reoccurring phenomena of Mavericks - a sleep/wake issue has caused many similar behaviors. It might be a conflicting software issue, or a true hardware problem with your particular machine. More details from you can shed more light. -
Why are the JPEGS on my computer's hard drive all of a sudden now blank?
The JPEGS on my computer's hard drive are now blank (it reads 0kb, and the thumbnail is missing) and when I go to open it in Windows Photo Viewer it gives me an error saying that it doesn't exist. I noticed that this happens to almost all the photos I edited in Lightroom 5. I shot a whole season of football last year, all in JPEG format, and with my keepers I went ahead and edited them in Lightroom and now they're blank. I have never moved my photos anywhere. I shot the game last November, created the folder for that game, and that's it. I go almost a year later to print one of them out for my portfolio and the file is missing! Lightroom can show the photo but I can't make any adjustments in the development module because the file is blank on my computer. The weird part is that the thumbnail is there, the correct image number is there, and when I click to show in Explorer through Lightroom it pulls up the right JPEG, so the location is correct in Lightroom, just no thumbnail image and no full size image when I go to open it using Windows Photo Viewer. I checked other games I shot and it happened to almost every game.
If you have the photos on your camera cards, then obviously you can simply copy them to the appropriate locations.
There are Lightroom plug-ins that can retrieve the preview that Lightroom uses, but these will be smaller and lower in quality than the original. Maybe one of our plug-in experts can suggest the proper plug-in.
If the hard disk is really going bad, as I speculated, you would definitely want to get it replaced. If that is the case, you don't want to keep using it. You might want to run some disk diagnostics on it. -
Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?
Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?
Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
if you have one already you can rename either one ..
and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . . -
Why does the file size change when put into an iDVD project? And problems with dual layer discs...
I exported a short video of mine from Final Cut Express and the size of the file came out to 7.3 GB. When I put it into an iDVD project, it says that the file is only 800 MB. I tried just burning it onto a dual layer disc anyway to see if it might still burn at the original file size, but the disc came out unusable for some reason, and obviously hadn't been burned anywhere near full-capacity. So, I tried it again, and the exact same thing happened.
I guess my first question is: why is iDVD changing the size of the file? I want the quality to be the best it can be, so keeping it at 7.3 GB as opposed to 800 MB is rather important.
Secondly, why did the dual layer discs come out unusable? I've burned single layer discs before and they haven't been an issue. Also, I know for a fact that the drive can burn dual layer discs, so that isn't the issue.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with help on this issue.LivelyJamesS wrote:

Guessing here but it looks like you edited/exported an SD/DV sequence of about 30 min in FCE. DVD needs to be MPEG-2 so iDVD compresses the original file down to the size that you report.

The quality will be what the MPEG-2 compression and the software allow for. MPEG-2 is DVD standard .... there's no way around that.

Guessing again but it would seem that you burned a Data DVD instead of a Video DVD which would be unusable by a set-top player. As I said above you can't get around DVD standards.
If by any chance your video was HD originally you can try to go the Blu-Ray route using Roxio Toast or FCS 3 (discontinued) or FCP X. You will also need a Blu-Ray burner. -
Did the update to OS 5...synched all my apps..then only 11 pages of apps are visible..the others are invisible..If I move an appfrom the 12 plus pages in itunes to a lower page...It becomes visible....WHY?..How can I get all 20 plus pages visible?
OK....First,you are right, OS 5 has the 11 page limit....you must create folders of Apps until you get below 11 pages of combined folders and apps...NOTE.....the upgrade to OS 5 killed all of my old folders and folder organizations...this may be an issue for all????.....I have over 300 apps so when the old folders went away...I was left with 20 plus pages....only 11 visible....It took me awhile to find out what happened....Since I have 64G it seems that 11 visible pages is a silly limit since the apps are on the machine...

I had backed-up my iPhone and when I try to restore it it says that the back-up is corrupt or the iPhone is not compatible. I had a bunch of pictures that I need from that restore. Is there any way to get them back? I did the back-up to my Macbook
If the backup is corrupt, there is nothing that can be done.
For what reason did you choose to not copy the pictures off the device to a computer prior to attemping an update or whatever caused the need to restore? iPhones are not intended as sole storage of any media. -

Why did the trace NOT show the other switches in between?
I have a PC that is connected to a switch (A) in a network. Switch A has many switches in between and connects to another switch B. When I did a trace to the server, the last switch I see in the result is switch B. Also, when I checked to which port of switch B that the server was connected, It showed as Po1. When I did a show cdp neighbor for the interfaces for the interfaces involved inthe bundle, I get a switch and then another. Why did the trace NOT show the other switches in between? Why did I get an arp on Switch B? Could some one explain?
It's hard to tell, but if you have L2 switches, the addresses on those L2 switches are for management purposes only and you won't see a response from a trace. The only time you'll see a response is when the packet is routed between devices and not switched. You'll get an arp request/response across a single vlan. If you have vlan 10 across 10 switches, all 10 switches will see an arp request because they're broadcasted throughout the whole vlan.
HTH,
John

When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?
When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?
Here are the steps so you can see all the files that make up your Keynote…
Go to the Finder and find your Keynote file and make sure that it has the .key extension on it. If it doesn't, click it and command i to view info and uncheck the box that says Hide Extension.
Delete the .key and change to .zip and then click the use .zip in the dialog box that comes up
Double click the new .zip file and it will change it to a folder
Open the folder there are the files
Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file)
You might be able to do this and convert the voice narration to a smaller format.
