Why is "Reduce File Size" in the "File" menu always disabled?

I have a rather large presentation file, about 100Mbyte, and Keynote has become almost impossible to use, because it has become so slow.
Have to wait about 5 seconds for each letter to appear on screen after typing! Almost impossible to use Keynote under these conditions.
So I tried to use "Reduce File Size" to reduce the presentation file size by compressing the images, but "Reduce File Size" is always disabled!
Anybody else having such problems?

OK, sounds like memory will be fine, so let's look at some other stuff...
Is it only one particularly keynote presentation that slows up for you, or does keynote behave in the same way even if you start from scratch and create a new presentation?
If it's just the one presentation then there's probably some content (possibly video) within it that KN takes exception to. Sometimes a single problematic slide or piece of content can slow down the whole app.
Is the problematic presentation one that was imported from Powerpoint? If so, import it again and look carefully at the import error/warning logs.
Before you start keynote, start up activity monitor - which will give you an indication of what programs are using all the CPU/memory/disk bandwidth etc. You'll then have an idea of whether it is KN maxing out on CPU or whether anything else is dragging the system down.
Another thing you could try would be to log in to a different user account on your machine (create one if necessary) and then try opening the presentation from within this different account. If this works for you then it suggests a problem with the keynote plist file in your original user account.
I don't know if it'd be acceptable to you, but if you could post a link to your problematic presentation then I could download it and try it out on my normally reliable Keynote on one of my computers. (Make sure that you've ticked the box to embed all media in the presentation)
Hope some of this is helpful,
Mike.

In iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed?

in iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed.

Short answer: They are not resizing, there is no quality lost. The dpi is only set when you decide what size you're printing at
Longer answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

Why is entire file menu greyed out?

Why is entire file menu greyed out?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== not sure

Thanks for the VERY helpful links, the-edmeister!
The FILE Menu was <u>'''''not'''''</u> greyed out in SAFE MODE.
I only had one THEME, the DEFAULT one, which I was using.
I disabled a few ADD-ONS and that solved the problem. They should check them first. I don't have time right now, or I'd do it myself. Later, maybe.
Thanks very much for your help. The only thing better than the FF browser is the community. I've been using only Mozilla since Netscape days.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Type size in the upper menue

How can I increase the type size in the upper menue of photopshop under windows 8/8.1

If you running windows 8 on a new high dpi resolution Laptop or tablet you may need to see if there are updated versions of your application that have updated the user interface to work on high resolution displays. For example Adobe updated the Mac version of Photoshop for high resolution retina displays. They are working on the PC version Photoshop however it not done. If you scale up text size using windows desktop scaling font feature too large, The text use in Photoshop user interface will not fit within the area Adobe allocated for the user interface areas.

Reducing apps size using the "strip" command

Hello,
I'm trying to create a Terminal script to reduce all my apps size, using the "strip" command.
Therefore, I have to look up into all the .app packages of my hard drive to find all the exec files, and then apply the strip command to them.
The thing is I am a complete newbie, and all I come up with is : (without the ")
"find . -name "exec" -exec strip '{}' \;"
But it doesn't seem to work at all...
I think this is due to the name reference.
-> How do I find Unix executable files (even inside the .app packages) using the "find" command?
-> And how do I correctly apply the "strip" command to them?
thanks for your help!

I think that you need to check the -perm option of find.

Edge - Change font size in the code menu?

This has been a little annoying when trying to work on my edge animate projects. As I am using an old 4:3 ratio as my monitor - I don't have a lot of space on my desktop. Whenever I want to insert or edit code in Edge, the code menu pratically takes up my whole screen.
As you can see the font is still large even when it is on 'small' font size. Is there anywhere to change this or do I have to go digging manually into Edge's files?

Hi,
Maybe a bit late with this answer.
Hold CTRL while scrolling with the mousewheel.
This will change the font-size too.
Cheers!

Why are my bookmarks not in the dropdown menu?

I upgraded to the Firefox 4 beta version and none of my bookmarks show up in the dropdown menu. Id also like to point out thatnone of my previously saved passwords show up and Firefox doesnt ask me if i want to save them when i enter them. Im not sure if these are just bugs in the beta version but if they could be fixed that would be a great help.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Do you see the bookmarks if you click the new bookmark button on the Bookmarks Toolbar or on the Navigation Toolbar if the Bookmarks Toolbar is hidden?
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why is Delete greyed out in the Edit menu? (track selected in regular playlist)

Hi. Starting today, Delete is permanently greyed out in the Edit menu in iTunes. This is with tracks selected in the Music library or in any playlist (not just Smart Playlists). I manage tracks daily, and this just started today. I upgraded to 10.4 about a week back so it was fine for a while. Immediately before the problem manifested itself, I selected "Always Show Artwork" from the View menu (which is available when you're in Album List mode), something I've never done before. But that might be totally unreleated.
Hitting the Delete key doesn't work either (actually that's my preferred method). However "Cut" and Cmd-X do work, as does the Delete command in the contextual menu. So I have a workaround.
Quitting and re-entering iTunes didn't help, nor did de-selecting "Always Show Artwork".

Hmm. I came to realise iTune Match had downgraded 38 of my tracks, which I'd ripped from my own CDs long ago, with 256kbps versions. I do have backup for the tracks, so I'd like to delete these 38 tracks (I've made a Smart playlist of them), deleting them from iCloud too; then with Match turned off, recover my originals (Add to Library) from an old Mac.
Can't do it! As Richard Tench said at the top, from 27 July 2011, Edit > Delete is permanently grayed out if you have opted for iT Match. And for me on iTunes 10.6.3 (Lion 10.7.4), that's not all: Edit > Cut and Cmd-x both just produce the Bonk sound. My Macbook keyboard has no Del key either.
But all the above are only true with Match active. Store > Turn Off iTunes Match will ungrey Edit > Delete (& fn-bksp etc I imagine). So I would then be able to delete the tracks locally. But of course, if you turn off iT Match you can delete all you like locally, but they will still exist in iCloud, and if I turn on iT Match again, the lower-grade 256kbps ones will come down from the clouds to replace my CD-ripped ones again! Won't they?
Is that right? Is there any way to exclude these 38 tracks (out of ~6500) from iTunes Match so I can keep my better quality CD-ripped ones? (Other than using Alt-Launch & creating a separate iTunes fileset for the 38 tracks - as you might have guessed, some of them fall right in the middle of albums.) Help!

Why does my iDVD project skip the main menu screen when starting?

I just finished a movie in iMovie 09, chose iDVD from the iMovie menu, chose a theme, etc., all was fine, burned the DVD and it works great except it starts the movie instantly rather than showing the opening screen with the main menu.

When you export to iDVD from iMovie 09, iMovie usually creates an iDVD project in which your movie plays automatically before the main menu is shown. As SDUser has said, you can get rid of that behaviour by going into the DVD map and dragging out the very first item.
A hint: if you have chapter markers in your movie, and you are using a theme that has motion menus, open up the Inspector (the little i button bottom left in iDVD) and while you are in the Map view click on each menu. Take a look at the length of the menu loop. There is a bug in iDVD that often causes it to make ridiculously long menu loops (in one case 3 hours, even though the menu music clip was 30 seconds and the whole movie was under an hour). That will cause iDVD to take forever rendering your project, and will waste a lot of DVD space that you are need for your main movie. Just drag the slider back to a sensible menu loop length. But go back and check before you burn; as soon as you edit anything else in the menu (for example change the music background) the loop length will have to be fixed again.

How to reduce view size in the info page after clicking the apps?

The apps icon was missing from category and top chart for a few days. The icon came back after turning off and on the iPad 2. However the font size and images in the info page was corrupted. It is much larger than before and I could not reduce them.
Please help where can I change the settings to reinstate the original font size.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Did you try to set java min and max to different sizes?
Then you still need a full GC to reduce the heap
because only the full GC compacts memory.
For IBM JRE you will need this to compact anyway.
In general applications perform better with heapmin=max.
-Xmx<size> set maximum Java heap size. example: -Xmx64m
-Xmn<size> set new generation Java heap size. example: -Xmn64m
Different size make it compacter but are more expensive(time)
Do you run Full GC as system.gc()?
I would never do this.
Let the JRE take care of this.
Number 1 GC rule is avoid it.

Can I change the default text sizes in the Character Menu?

At my last job I used a program called Creator to create the projects for which I now use InDesign. In Creator there was a section in the Preferences that allowed you to specify what font sizes were in the drop down menu, but I don't see such a setting in InDesign. Its not a huge deal, but its nice to have, say 20pt in your drop down menu as a type size if you use that particular size a lot, as opposed to typing it in every time. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? Thanks!!

Thanks Bob, I didn't think of that, I suppose that would work. Basically I would just like to have more text sizes to choose from in the drop down menu, I guess its more an issue of laziness on my part than anything else. I could make a character style for it, but then I'd probably have 10 different character styles just to change the size of my text when it would be less hassle just to type in the size I need. I was just looking for a quick fix default option that I was used to having at my old job.

Why is the Verizon "chat' ALWAYS disabled due to 'unavailable at this time' regardless of time of day?

???????????????!!!

Thanks CCTM, I searched the drop down help 'Logic Pro Users manual' no info found on muting or on regions.
I googled the problem and found the answer in an old post in Logic pro help-ctrl click on region for menu and problem is solved.
I the searched in the next drop down choice 'Exploring Logic Pro just to see how difficult finding these answers could be, and it was there.
You deserve the points for being kind enough to offer your knowledge, unlike searching the downloads ssection of this aite for a Manual-which found nothing.
it is only as a last resort that I would be so importunant to post here at all.

No can do, kemosabe. The password would be a pretty worthless security measure if it were that easy to remove or change while maintaining the integrity of the phone's data.
