I'm a latecomer to the Lion party, skipping Lion and going right to ML.
Has there been any options (from Apple or a 3rd party) to make the
system font a greater contrast than it is right out of the box?
(Using the "Increase contrast" control in the System Preferences >
Universal Access pane doesn't count.)
Thanks,
Dave

I have an old iMovie project and if I open the project file in Textedit I see this at the top of the page:
iMovie Project File
External Version: 2.0
Version: 0.9
If I were to guess I'd say I made this project with iMovie version 2.0.
Presently I have iMovie app versions 3,4, and 9. IIRC, opening an old project in a new version will change the project file in some way creating all kinds of issues, so I'm holding off opening this project in any version I presently have.
Going back to iMovie 2 isn't possible as I think it is OS 9 only and I no longer have an OS 9 capable machine.
To add further confusion to this situation is the naming of this app as it seems to have 2 names: the iLife name as in '06 etc, and the actual version # that the finder will give me (command I). I can ONLY go by what the finder tells me as far as the version # as opposed to the '06, etc monikers frequently used for this app.
So my question is, and I've seen it many times via google without an answer, is there a way to import this iMovie 2 project INTACT w/transitions effects etc., into iMovie 3.0.3 or 4.0.1 or 9.0.4? There's many hours of work synching music to video, effects, cuts and transitions that I want to keep intact.
Many of these projects were made before I had a DVD burner so I never made a full resolution copy and that's basically all I want to do. The worst case scenario is to use the source files and remake the videos that way, but that's close to starting over.
Thanks!

Not with Disk Utility unless it's changed recently. iPartition can do it
though.

Howdy.
Dave, I think that using Disk Utility you can resize a partition to a
smaller size and do it non destructively but you can't resize to a
larger size.
Otto mentioned iPartition which should do this job but has a price.
There should also be a way to resize a partition non destructively
using Terminal commands at the Unix prompt.
<<<Terminal commands are not my area of expertise so I can only say to
be very CAREFUL, read and LEARN FIRST before using a command like this
in Terminal, and BACKUP first.>>>
You can also use the "man" command in Terminal to display Unix manual
information.
Here's an article on several aspects of resizing partitions in OS X.
<http://ideasarehere.net/2010/09/resizing-volumes-changing-partitions-mac-os-x-disk-utility-terminal/ >
A final note is that the Boot Camp utility can resize a partition non
destructively but you can't access that function outside of Boot Camp
without using 3rd party utilities or Terminal.

Howdy.
Try this:
1. Go to System Preferences.
2. Open Users & Groups.
3 Click Login Options (the house icon). You may have to first click
the gold padlock and provide your Admin user password.
4. In Login Options, note what is selected in the Automatic login
popup menu. Change to your user account name.
Next.
5. Click the Show All button to return to System Preferences.
6. Click the Security & Privacy panel and open it. You may need to
click the gold padlock and authentic again.
Check and, if necessary, change the settings here. Is Require password
for sleep and screen saver checked? Is Disable automatic login
checked?
That should do the trick.

Thanks. The address icon was not in the tool bar, fixed that. I don't know if this is related but now when I type in the group name the addresses appear in the proper place.
You saved me a good deal of hassle.

I was just wondering what the difference is between using Parallels 8 vs Bootcamp to run Windows on my MacBook Pro? Are they not both creating 'Virtual Machines'?
The reason I ask is that I just purchased VMOptimizer from Coriolis-Systems, but when I run the Program, I am told it cannot find a Virtual Machine.
Would iDefrag take care of any defragmentation with respect to my 'Parallels Partition' which contains Win 7?

No. When you run an OS under Boot Camp, you are running it natively, so
running Windows under Boot Camp on a Mac effectively makes the Mac a
"real", not virtual PC.
