How can I set my MacBook up to have a secure and nonsecure (at work, out of the office) mode?

I'm looking for a way I can set my Mac up so that there are two modes - one for when I'm at work, or at home, and one for when I am out and about / working remotely. The modes would be:
A: the screensaver does not come on for 20-30 minutes, and when it does, it doesn't then require a password login
B: the screensaver comes on after a few minutes, and then requires a password to access the laptop again
I have a sneaking suspicion I can do this with the automator, but I'm new to Macs so looking for some guidance with this. The ideal would be to have an icon on the desktop (or similar) for each mode I could just click on to activate that mode.
Thanks for your help/time in advance!

Relevant tech specs: MacBook Air, OS X version 10.9.5 (not against upgrading if solution requires it)

Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window. Instead, use the green + in the top left corner. That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

I have a projector connected to a directtv box that is connected to an older Bose system in my media room. How can i hook up my apple tv to my projector and still get sound out of the bose system without running another sound cable to the bose system?

The audio cable currently is connected to the directtv box. If i hook my apple tv to the projector that means i would have to run a sound cable across my media room. is there any other way?

External speakers need to be connected via optical unless they work with airplay.

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side. E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

my daughter and i share the same i tunes account but want to have our own now. how can i set up a new account just for me and still move or transfer my existing apps, contacts etc?

Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.
Content is permanently tied to the account it is purchased with and cannot be merged, moved, or transferred to another account.

I have problem with the security question which i forgot the answer how can i change it as i already have apple id and password

I have problem with the security question which i forgot the answer how can i change it as i already have apple id and password

You may reset the password on your account by opening https://iforgot.apple.com/ in Safari and entering your Apple ID (your email address, which the moderators should have removed earlier).
You won't be able to set the password to your email address, or a recently-used password (if I remember correctly).
Once you change your password, you should update your password on your iOS device in Settings > iTunes & App Store, then tapping the "Apple ID: <username>" cell at the top to re-enter your password. (Your iOS device may prompt you for the new password before getting to Settings as well.)
Hope that helps. If you have a different issue, please post a follow-up message.

I have an SIII and will be traveling out of the country. Do I need to get a micro SIM card ? (I was told that Verizon has them for free but it needs to be set up and there was a charge for this.

I have a Samsung SIII and will be traveling out of the country. Do I need to get a micro SIM card instaslled for international ? I was told Verizon has them free for customers but that it needs to be "sert up". Also, are there alternatives to going through the verizon data plan (which is very expensive.
Thanks

Your phone already has a micro SIM card in the device so it can connect to the VZW network. You will need an international plan from VZW if you intend to use that SIM card. Otherwise you can get a new SIM card from the local carrier and setup the phone for global use with a separate APN with that carrier's specific information.

How can I set service preferences with Safari 5.0.5 and os 10.6.8? Was working fine until combined update install.

My service preferences won't set after installing combined update earlier this week and the security 2012-4 update that caused so much problem with mail. Is there a list of changes that was made in safari with this latest update, because the bookmarking isn't working the same and the readling list page is gone?

because the bookmarking isn't working and the same and the reading list page is gone?
Your profile indicates you have v10.7.2 installed yet your topic refers to v10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Try this...
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your bookmarks and reading list.
Safari 5.0.5 is an outdated version. You need to update Safari.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update...
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.

TS1410 By mistake I disconnected my iPod Classic when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes (have tried resetting and rebooting).

By mistake I disconnected my iPod (5th generation) when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes? I have tried resetting and rebooting. And my iTunes is up to date on my macbook pro, mountain lion, OS X 10.8.
Thank you!

The iPod's filesystem may be corrupted. This may seem like overkill, but it has been known to help many others in the same boat. Try doing a low level reformat of the iPod's hard disk using the instructions in this article.

How can I create a popup panel in a CVI DLL and keep it on top of the calling TestStand application window?

When I create a panel in CVI and use InstallPopup() to display it, the user can set the focus to the main TestStand window, which causes my popup to disappear underneath it.
I'm guessing I need the popup to be a child window of the main application window. I've tried passing the Engine.AppMainHWnd handle as the parentHandle argument in LoadPanelEx(), but this causes an error, as it is not a valid handle.
Also, if I call another DLL function from a control callback within my popup, which creates another popup, on closing the second popup both disappear and the program is stuck in the RunUserInterface() of the first popup.
This seems a simple requirement, yet I don't seem to be able to find a straightforward way to achieve it.

Steve,
I think this is more a TestStand question than a CVI question.
To use a CVI popup with TestStand, you should call TS_StartModalDialog() before InstallPopup().
When you quit your popup panel, you should call RemovePopup () and then TS_EndModalDialogAndDiscard().
The TSModalData must be the same for Start and End Modal dialog.

How can you fix your iphone if you mistakingly, when restoring and updating, backed it up to the wrong iphone cloud?

I wasupdating and restoring my iphone last night and then i was goign through the prompts on my phone to set it back up again. it asked which iphone do you want to back up to and i picked the iphone i thought was mine. Turns out i picked my Dad's iphone!!!! so now everything that is on his iphone is now on mine; contacts,apps, everything. So i thought i could restore it again and try it over but now everytime i plug my iphone5 into the computer for itunes it keeps asking me to set it up as a new iphone or back it up to an ipod. does anyone know how to fix this?????

Have you tried resetting your device? Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If you see the Apple, then the reset is processing and you should see your Home screen shortly.
Cheers,

How can i reinstall Products again - as they are all corrupted and don't work ?

Hi i really need an answer to this- i had to roll back the regsitry becuase kept getting a blue scree as soon as the PC started (after i downloaded the creative cloud apps) - and now theres no entry on start menu for any cloud products and there are no .exe files either to run them - but the Adobe creative cloud application manager says they are all installed - so i cannot download them again ? Even if i remove the adobe product folders - the application manager still says they are installed -
How can i download them again to the very same computer ? What is the application manager using to decide i have them installed on my computer- when in fact they are not?
I already raised this same question on the other forum but with no reply-
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1100999
so im trying here .

Please use the Cleaner Tool to uninstall the softwares completely.
Since you tried deleting the folders manually before, please also try uninstalling Application manager and then try reinstalling by downloading the Adobe Application Manager again.
