Is there a way to have bookmark folders automatically collapsed in Safari when adding bookmarks? This would be a huge convenience in navigating to the right folder w/o having to deal with an eye chart of a folder tree.

Myself as well...
I think it is a tremendous problem. Im my case it is extremelly important to manage, organize and sort favorites.
I am new to Mac and safari... and I spent a lot of time researching a solution for that thinking it was me that couldnt find this option. I like to use safari because of the "gestures". This is great. But when it comes to favorites, safari is a nightmare!!!
Also, I use to like the option in Firefox that we can have the leftside bar with the favorites and navigate to the links in the right. In safari the links are open in the full page. And then we need to come back to the favorite everytime.
I would be glad if someone could come out with good solution or suggestions how to deal with it in fafari.
Regards.

Is there a way to have all (exchange) email on iPad even when offline?

I would like to have access to my work (exchange) email when offline (travelling). Is there a way of keeping a selected amount on my iPad, not just the most recent items?

Thanks. I was already aware of this setting.
The issue is that I use a number of folders and unless I manually open each one a sync whilst online, when offline the only emails that are available are those from the last sync, e.g. there is no automatic, background synchronisation of folders not in use.
Ideas?

Is there a way to have external drives automatically eject on shutdown?

Hello. First post. I've owned this laptop for about eight months now. I just purchased a second external firewire drive, and today I forgot to eject either drive before shutting down. The Mac froze up, and I had to use Applejack (which I had luckily just installed) to bring it back. I'm worried I'll do this again, and with a videography business, this could result in a possible loss of data. I've googled and looked around here a bit...but as the post title says...is there a way to add this functionality to a Mac to avoid this in the future? Thanks.

Hi Alex Matson-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple Discussion boards
As mentioned, selecting "shutdown" should gracefully close the drives.
As an aside, I have a video business, and I find that 3 backups of all of my data has saved my rear more than once. One backup sits on my desktop, one is in a fireproof safe, and one is stored at a different location entirely.
Should something catastrophic happen, like a flood, you will still have all of your data available on the off-site drive.
You should also power your drives from the same UPS as your Mac.

Is there a way to have CUPC alerts go to PC speaker when a headset is used?

I would like incoming chat alerts to 'beep' the PC speaker, but I use a headset (which I do not wear constantly) to make voice calls.
If I go to Options -> Audio and change Speakers to the PC speakers, I am always on speakerphone and the headset does not work. If I change Speakers to the headset, all incoming alerts play in the headset earpiece only, which is not useful if I am not wearing the headset.
Is there a way to do this?
I am using CUPC version 8.5.1.17660-6.1.34.
Client Services Framework 8.5(2)-4.2.13.
PS: Could we make the version numbers a little more confusing please?

Hi Eric T. Macknight,
If you would like your Mac to sleep after it finishes playing a selection in iTunes, you may want to try playing with the idle sleep settings in Energy Saver; you may find the following article helpful:

Is there a way to have your iPad automatically switch wifi connection based on signal strength?

I have multiple wifi access points in my house as it is very large. The SSID's are different, and signal is fine coming from one of the two access points. The problem is that when I move about my house, I will stay connected to the access point that is far away, and so I have to go into settings and switch wifi networks each time. Is there a way to set up your iPad so that it automatically switches connections based on signal strength?

Probably not, or .. maybe. I can't think of any reason why that would be added into the OS as the number of situations where it would come into play is really quite small.
If they're all entered as wifi accounts and all show as accessible, walk around the house and sign in to each one in turn. They should all be remembered after that; now, walk around while staying logged into one and see what happens when you get a big spread in received signal strengths.
I really don't think it will change on its own, but it might. Who knows? Even if not, it'd be a matter of not more than 10-15 seconds to make the switch manually.

Is there a way to have my folders stored on my server instead of my desktop?

My server has multiple backup options whereas my workstation desktop does not. I would like to keep my folders on the server and not on my local drive. Is this possible? If not, can I keep Thunderbird on my sever and have more than one person logged into it at one time, each with their own set of folders and account?

You can move your profile to a different machine, but you need to make it available for Thunderbird, e.g. via a network share or network mount, depending on your OS.

Is there a way to have all folders and files line up all the time by default?

I was wondering if there was a way to get all files and folders on the desktop and within locations like Downloads and Documents to automatically align to grid by default without user intervention.
If so, how can I do this?
Thanks!

Mario's post explains, how to arrange in colums in Finder windows.
You can use the same method to arrange the items on the Desktop:
Click on the empty Desktop to select it and to bring the Finder forward, press the key combination ⌘J.
Select "Snap to Grid" and set the spacing and icon size.
Select an option how you want to sort them, e.g. by kind.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. Is there any way to have downloads open automatically in a new tab once the download is complete? Thanks in advance!

I believe when I first got my MacBook, that when I was in Firefox and downloaded a pdf, it opened automatically in a new Firefox tab. At some point, I think a window with the option to NOT do this appeared and I clicked the wrong option, i.e. to NOT have a downloaded pdf open up automatically in a new tab.
I now cannot figure out how to reverse this. I have called Apple support and they think it's a Firefox setting.

Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
#type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
#Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
#in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
#close the about:config tab and test
#See:
#*For help with opening/using about:config, also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

About Google toolbar............
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

Is there a way to have "hyperlinked-copy" change color or underline when hovering over it when exported to pdf??

I know the hand will appear when you hover over a hyperlink. I am not a fan of the outlined rectangle. I tried adding a drop shadow but I guess you can't add a drop shadow to part of the copy within a text box. Any other suggestions to have copy stand out as "linkable" in a tasteful way?

Back in the dark ages people did things like underline links and turn them blue.
There's a whole thread on favorite ways to format links if dig back a little in this forum.

Is there a way to have presentation run automatically on iPad and run in a loop?

I have built a presentation that I would loke to run in a loop without continually touching the screen. Is that possible?

Better to ask in the community dedicated to iWork for iOS. Those of us here don't all have an iPad.

Why is it that there I can't have more than 2 tab groups? When I try to open a new tab group than it replaces the tab in the old tab group. will

Using the latest Firefox version of 9.0.1

I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

I can see an RSS folder from SharePoint on my phone (yay!) - is there a way to have this with the "Connect to Outlook" option?

I can see an RSS folder from SharePoint on my phone (yay!) - is there a way to have this with the "Connect to Outlook" option?
We've got a bevy of test phones here and I've been able to see RSS feeds in an Exchange setup using Android (along with other folders) but no Lists that were hooked up using "Connect to Outlook" button from SharePoint.

Hi,
You are viewing Mobile view of the site into your phone. If you open the same site in normal PC view i.e. the same look which you have in your computer then it will give you an option to connect to outlook.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion but clicking on 'Connect to Outlook' from various phones doesn't seem to work. "This webpage is not available." -- I didn't really expect it to do anything as I think this was meant to be done on a computer. And then
the result is that the documents would be available in Outlook.
And then, my question kicks in: is it possible to see these files that are now in Outlook on a phone that's connected to the Exchange Server.

Is there a way to have iTunes show what is in the iTunes music folder?

I have several folders that I moved from an old iTunes music folder into a newer one on a different HD. I just put the music into the folder, but not into iTunes. So now, I have a huge folder of music that doesn't show up in my iTunes library. I was cleaning off the HD to make room for something else, so I deleted the "old" iTunes folder with all the music in it. The music is in my new iTunes folder, but not in my iTunes program. Sorry this is so convoluted!
What I want to know is this: Is there a way to have iTunes recognize and check for music in the iTunes folder that is not already in the iTunes program? Exactly what does consolidate library do? Could that solve the issue? I am a little intimidated because it says that it cannot be undone.
Thanks,
Jim

Chris,
You're a GENIUS!! Thank you!! That's exactly what I was looking for. I am in the process of doing it right now. Hopefully, everything goes well. You just made my day!
Happy 2009,

Is there a way to have Finder list folders and documents in alphabetical order?

Finder keeps changing the order of folders and documents. Is there a way to have everythning remain in alphabetical order? The way it works now makes it difficult to find a specific folder or doc from a long list.

In the Finder click the list icon and then sort by name. Is this what you mean?

Is there a way to have an activly updating folder update to itunes?

I am trying to make this has simle as possible for my father.
I have set up TiVo Desktop to auto DL his fav shows and put them (in MP4 format) in a folder. He can click and drop them into itunes each time but I was pretty sure there was a way to have Itunes do that on it's own.
Any help would be great

iTunes has no folder watching feature built in. So the answer, as far as iTunes itself is concerned, it no, it's not possible. But take a look here for a possible third-party solution:
