Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6 to access the App Store. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

HT1277 I am trying to setup a new email account. Apple Mail is trying to configure it as an iMAP account but it is actually a POP account. I cannot figure out how to override that. What do I need to do?

I am trying to setup a secondary e-mail account which is a POP account. However, when I try to setup the new account, Mail detects it as an iMAP account. Once Mail sets it up as an iMAP account it doesn't work. I cannot figure out how to override the automatic setup and manually configure it as a POP account.

Yeah, silly as it seems, OSX is trying to do too much for us, not on 10.8 to test, but try this...

I'm not sure why you would want POP over IMAP. When IMAP is so much more versatile.

Anyways if it works like 10.7 Mail. When adding the account trick it. Do this by just entering some fake email address and password into the boxes and click continue. It will then say it could not find the correct settings, click continue. Now you will be given the option to enter everything manually.
Now you can choose POP and manually enter the POP and SMTP settings for Yahoo. Which I believe are pop.mail.yahoo.com, Port 995, SSL and smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port 465, SSL, authentication required. Enter your correct email address now.
Once added go back to your accounts list and edit it to make sure that it now lists your correct yahoo address and not the fake address in all areas.
Note: Be sure when entering the fake email address to not use a major provider it likely knows. So don't choose @gmail, @hotmail, &c instead use something like @weevilfarts.com.

I cannot figure out how to turn off the iPad2 microphone while I am playing through the guitar amps... What am I doing wrong ?

When using Apogee Jam to connect my guitar to my iPad2,
the iPad internal microphone continues to record ambient room sounds.
How can I turn this off ?
Please help :)
Thanks in advance

This seems to be a bug with iOS 5 with garageband and using external input sources.
I have apogee jam and getting same problem.
Also getting problems using Alesis io dock. Same kinda thing as the apogee just a little more advanced.
Amps are going nuts when I change from one to another using io dock and also I'm grt pops and crackles where it used to be cristal clear. I want iOS 4 back as both apogee and Alesis io dock were working perfect.
This is crap as its the reason I got the iPad.
This seems to be a big problem.
I'm sick of restarting the iPad (re set) to get to work.
Apple please fix as this *****.

I used to be able to save all open tabs to a folder in Bookmarks, but cannot figure out how to do that in Firefox 4.0.

Older versions of Firefox allowed the user to save all open tabs to a folder in Bookmarks with one touch (not laboriously bookmarking each tab), so if Firefox did not remember your tabs when re-opening your browser after closing down for the night, you could at least re-open each tab if you'd been clever enough to save them to a Bookmarks folder. I still have my Bookmarked folders full of tabs from previous months, so I know I'm not imagining this useful Bookmark function.
I cannot find this function, Save All Tabs (I think that's what it was called,) under Bookmarks anymore.

THANK YOU! So easy, now I feel stupid. ;)
Sorry, Firefox 4.0 is driving me nuts in many ways, this is just one of them.

Have msg on header: Firefox is not able to show the Toolbar. Please re-install the Toolbar. I cannot figure out how to re-install the Toolbar, nor exactly where to go to find it for download.

There is a message on my Firefox header that says: "Firefox is not able to show the Toolbar. Please re-install the Toolbar." I would like to re-install the Toolbar, but don't know where to locate it for download. It has conveniences I use frequently & I'd like to get it back. Thank you for your help.

Firefox has a couple of built-in toolbars, but if it mentions re-installing, it probably is an add-on toolbar. Do you know which one it was, e.g., Google, Yahoo, etc.? It might be on your extensions list here:
Tools > Options > Extensions

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
Please help.

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

I have "hidden" my devices/USB access and now cannot figure out how to get them back on so I can re-access the USB files. How do I do this? (Is it just me, or should this be a reasonably simple task that shoul NOT require a post to the Apple community?)

Under "Devices," I have "hidden" my USB access and now cannot figure out how to re-access or "show" USB access again. Very frustrated right now--this is a high-use feature for me and it should NOT be so buried somewhere that I cannot find it. So much for Mac's "intuitive" interface.

Well, you have also "hidden" what version of OS X you are using from anyone who might want to help you.
You are probably using a newer version than I am, but I don't know that these things have changed.
In the Finder, from the Finder menu > Preferences …, there should be a Sidebar pane to choose what is visible.
Also in the Finder, Go menu > Computer (or type Shift Command C) will open a Finder window with any attached volumes showing.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

When you set up a Smart Playlist, it automatically populates the list with songs. You don't have to do anything. Now, you may not have set it up properly, meaning your set up fails to recognize any songs.
If you just want to put music in a Playlist, just create one, give it a name. Then drag the music from the "music" list to the playlist. It copies the information there. And when you sync the Playlist to your iPhone, all the music goes.
It's truly easy, but there is a bit of a learning curve until you're good at it. Keep asking questions here, everyone will help you. But do read the Apple documents, they lay out pretty straightforward.

The problem is that currently my .gmail address is my recovery address; I cannot figure out how to remove and replace my gmail recovery address with a new e-mail address. I want to do this because I no longer use my .msn address.

You should be able to change your rescue address by going to My Apple ID, signing in to manage your ID, then selecting the the Password and Security section, and answering the two security questions. If you have trouble with this, contact the Apple account security team for your country to verify your identity and ask for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. If your country isn't listed, contact iTunes store support by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
