Is there a way to import only the Address Bookfrom OE into TB? When I started to import my full data, I clicked Cancel, TB crashed, & my Address Book vanished.

Hi, I am in the process of migrating from Outlook Express 6 to Thunderbird. Thunderbird made the migration very easy, a click of an "Outlook Express" radio box selection for import. But then I made it hard on myself by deciding I wanted to fix an OE .dbx folder-file (make it importable, previously not imported likely because it was marked "read only" and then re-import. I started to re-import OE into TB but then got nervous when I saw everything was importing, not a single dbx folder-file I wanted to fix. I clicked "Cancel" in TB, and then, when I later opened TB, noticed that my Address Book now is empty. It was definitely full before. Any ideas how to import strictly my contacts again? I am thinking of importing my entire OE data again if the answer to that post is that the re-import will not result in double OE line items. If I re-import all of OE, my Address Book should reappear, too, right?

Oops, I found the answer to my question. Great knowledge base! I had originally imported via the automatic popup dialog box that appeared when I installed TB, and didn't absorb at the time that there would be a way to do an import later, after TB install, too, and even for specific parts of OE (address book vs. mail messages, etc.).
I pasted the link to the "Migrate to Thunderbird" page that includes how to migrate just an Address Book from OE, but the following is all that pastes in: 9723729938
I have typed out the link here:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Homesharing gives you the option of seeing only the content in the shared library, that is not already in your own library.

Is there a way to view only the apps I'm not using?

If I attach all my iOS devices to my computer, is there a way to view only the apps in my iTunes library that are NOT being used by any device? To make it easier to know which I'm not using, so I can delete them off my computer and free up some space?

In Settings:
General->Network->Cellular Data: Switch off.

Is there a way to add to the existing values in a container when a LabVIEW prototype (cluster) changes?

Is there a way to add to the existing values in a container when a LabVIEW prototype (cluster) changes?
I have a cluster with 90 values.. ninety! yes that many.
Change one bloody value and the prototype changes in the TestStand step... Reload the prototype and guess what happens??!!??
All the bloody values get reset to defaults! AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
If it was in one place, I could survive the ordeal. But I have to change bloody prototypes in many places!!!!
more AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't even copy the bloody values!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are there any tricks that I am not aware of, or have forgotten over the years, or... ... something??!!??!???!!
If there are none, I will have to post an improvement to TestStand.. I should mention I am using an older version (4.1).

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
I am not not very famous with LV and its cluster types.
So no idea if this works (it works for DataTypes updates very well and a LV cluster is Data Type so.... maybe)
Make a copy of the step that has to be modified to an new sequencefile.
Make modifications the in the copy.
Now you should have the same DataType Name but other contents in the container. Save it.
Normally there should be a message box that tells you that version has been incremented. - Accept it.
Set in StationOptions-File "Allow Automatic ...." to Never.
Open original sequencefile. Now the there must be a type conflict. Accept/Apply to all "Use Current Loaded.."
You have updated the type.....
Hope this worked,

Is there a way to download only the HD version of a movie and not the SD version?

In order to save space and to not exceed my service provider's data limit, I'd like to know if there is a way to download only the HD version without having to download the SD version as well? Currently, I have to open the "Download" box and highlight all of the SD downloads and delete and remove them. Of course, it begins to download them the next time I open up iTunes (and yes, I have turned off and on the auto-download feature).
Any help is much appreciated.

I did get an answer to this question from the rep at my local Verizon store. I just wanted to provide the answer in case someone else has the same question.
While in the email you wish to reply to, press the white envelope shape on the upper right corner of the screen. This will open up as the reply to the sender. If you press the word "reply" in the upper left had corner (of this window) a drop down box will appear with more options. Reply, reply all and forward. Hope that helps.

Is there a way to backup only the Originals folder to DVD?

I've really messed up the file names of my photos in several ways: by mistakenly changing a camera setting, importing some from different cameras, and editing and saving the edited versions (elsewhere, TG, not in iphoto), thereby replacing/rewriting some of my edited photos.
However, I think all the originals, or copies of them, are in the iphoto originals folder. I'd like to save/store/archive all of them to DVD(s) that I can store elsewhere, and then delete the library - with the exception of a few favorites - and start over. When I tried to burn the library to a disk, it didn't give me the option of using multiple disks because of the size (@20G), I just got a msg stating the disk was too small. Is there a way to burn the Originals folder only?
thanks,
Melissa

How does one "right-click" on a Mac?
How does one "duplicate"? ("command C"?).
Assuming that I can then find this copy, how do I split into smaller folders? (Highlight a portion of library and then create a smaller folder?- or is there another way?). Does this allow me to split using my Events categories and keep that structure in the smaller folders on the DVDs?
I have backed-up everything including iPhoto onto 2 different types of external drives (a third drive - a LaCie has me stumped) and am now trying to figure out how to backup iPhoto onto DVDs. The instructions I have found say to go to Finder; create a Burn Folder; then Burn. This creates a file that can be read by both Macs and PCs. I have 66 GB of photos so I need to break up iPhoto into smaller chunks for burning to DVDs - therefore, your post is of interest to me.
Sorry for the simple questions but after nearly 3 years using a MacBook, I am still trying to figure out the "cleverness" in its operation.

Is there a way to view only the bands/albums/songs that are already downloaded to my iPhone?

In the artists list, the 'cloud' icon only disappears when all of that artists albums have been downloaded, so that isn't an easy way to tell. Is there a method to view just the bands/albums/songs that I have downloaded? Thank you for any assistance that is available.

There is an option in Settings --> Music --> Show All Music. If it is ON, all your music will show. If you turn it OFF, it will show only music on your phone.

Is there a way to sync only the calendar with the new control panel?

I did the iCloud control panel update on my work machines this morning and it looks like it will only sync the calendar with outlook if you let it sync your contacts and tasks as well. The main reason I use iCloud is to sync my work meetings/events between my work PC and my phone. It liked the way it worked before, but now the user has less control over what it syncs. Is there a way to sync the calendar only?
Also, it's made outlook quit unexpectedly on both machines, but I assume they'll have bug fixes eventually. I'm running one machine with Office 2007 and one with 2010.

The iCloud Control Panel 2.0, just release with iOS 6, forces users to upload Outlook contacts to iCloud in order to sync calendar and reminders with iPhone. This is unacceptable to me. Because of this and bugs in the Outlook/iCloud plugin, I have discontinued use of iCloud and will sync my iPhone with Outlook using itunes. I will have to forego using Outlook task syncing with iPhone reminders because iTunes doesn't sync them, which is unfortunate.

Integrating Facebook in Mountain Lion has caused duplicated birthday events in my Calendar. Is there any way to show only the birthdays of my iCloud contacts, and ignore birthdays from my Facebook contacts?

I do not have any contacts on my local machine. Before updating to Mountain Lion, I stored all of my contacts and calendars in iCloud. When I updated and integrated Facebook, it added the Facebook contacts and all of their information to my Contacts directory. I have merged all duplicated data, and still my Calendar shows a birthday entry for my iCloud contact, and a second entry for the Facebook version of the same (merged and linked) contact. Is there any way to disable Facebook birthdays in my Calendar? Or, for bonus points, is there any way to merge the Facebook category of contacts with my iCloud contacts so that I never see duplicated data in any applications?

You can disable the facebook contacts by going to System Preferences -> Mail Contacts and Calendars -> Facebook, and the unchecking contacts. That will remove your facebook contacts from your contact book. Not sure if thats exactly what you want, but that's the only thing I could discover.

Is there a way to automatically set the file name in Acrobat Properties when exporting a PDF from Indesign?

When I used Quark to make a PDF, the title area in the PDF was automatically populated with the file name, there in the properties tab. We like use this area to confirm file names of original files, so we can keep track of drafts, (in case the file name of the PDF is changed, which our boss often does). Is there any way to set up InDesign to do the same?

@stadlock – I think I know what you mean…
You exported to PDF and changed the file name in the export dialog to a different one from the document name presented there the first time you exported that document. And in exports after that the new name will be presented in the dialog instead of the name of the document.
What you can do against that?
1. First time you want to export: Save before the document is exported. And do not save after it's exported with a new file name.
2. After the new file name is already there in the export dialog:
Type in the document name in the dialog. Export. Or abort after chosing a export preference. Save. Check again, if the document's file name is in the export dialog. If yes, procede like in suggestion #1. If not do a full export with the document's file name, save and then procede with suggestion #1.

Is there any way to disable "Checking Your Add-ons" window that comes when user starts Firefox after update for the first time?

we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes.
It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.

Unfortunately this link does not help.
We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally.
My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking?
I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far.

I have multiple libraries on an external drive. Somehow all the iTunes library files i.e. iTunes Library.itl, xml, itdb, Media folder, etc disappeared! Only the music files remain. Now when I start iTunes w/option it can't find any of the old libraries!

Help! I 'm using an old G4 powerbook, Mac OSX 10.5.8, iTunes ver 10. I have multiple iTunes libraries on an external drive. Everything was fine for a while, then all of the iTunes library files, i.e. iTunes Library.itl, xml, itdb, artwork folder, Media folder, etc mysteriously disappeared! Only the music files remain (thank god) So now when I start iTunes w/option key to choose a library, I can't choose any of them because iTunes won't recognize them. Because all the library stuff is missing. So can I re-create the library files? (I don't care if I lose my ratings)
Or should I create a new empty library on the external drive, then manually move all the music files to the Media folder in the new library?
I tried some stupid ideas like creating a new library just to start iTunes, then going into prefs and advanced, then under iTunes Media folder location, selecting the location of the old library on the external, to see if iTunes would then find all the music which is still there, but no workee.
I'm out of ideas, and I searched the archives.
Help! anyone?
Scott

I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

Is there a way to keep an animation playing for a mouseout event when you start a new one?

I have some buttons that on mouseover they animate scaling up and on mouseout they scale back down. This is working great except the scenario when a user mouse's over one button then immediately mouse's out to the next button the animation on the first button abruptly stops and the animation starts on the current button. Is there a way to keep the animation playing for the first button AND have the animation play work for the second button?
I have uploaded a quick demo to illustrate what I mean. Also I've uploaded the project file if anyone can find a solution. Thanks!
Dropbox - edgeAnimateButtonSample.zip

You need to create two symbols for these two buttons, so that both can play simultaneously.
I have created a sample for you @ https://www.dropbox.com/s/e59agt7mr8r785l/newedgeAnimateButtonSample.rar?dl=0

Is there a way to sync only the latest photo version (not master) from Aperture 3.2 to iPhone through iTunes?

I'm interested in only having the latest version of a photo stack sync to my iPhone, currently it only syncs the master image and ignores any versions that have been created.
Thank you!

Firefox 2 versions used bookmarks.html format to store bookmarks, you can '''import''' that type of bookmarks file format into all later versions of Firefox. <br />
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... - from file
The correct version of the Password Exporter extension can be installed in the old Firefox 2 version, to export you password data. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/versions/#version-1.2
Then install the correct version of that extension in the newer version, so you can restore your passwords into the newer version. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/

Is there any way to keep Microsoft RDC for Mac OSX from disconnecting when I start typing?

I am able to login to remote computers using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac OS X (version 2.0.1). I can launch applications and open folders on the remote system without any problems. However, anytime I start typing it immediately disconnects me from the remote system.
I have resorted to using TSClientX, which works, but doesn't have all the great features that RDC for Mac OS X has.
My PowerBook is running 10.5.8. The remote systems are Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.
I have tried uninstalling the latest version of RDC for Mac and going back to several older versions, that did not resolve the issue.
I have tried restoring the keyboard shortcuts, that did not resolve the issue (though, I never made any changes to the configuration anyway).
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I'm going to post this on a Microsoft Support forum as well, but thought I'd see if anyone here had any suggestions as well. Thanks in advance!

I've know a few people who have had trouble getting CoRD to work correctly with their PPC mac. Personally I've not had any problems. I know the later version seems to work better.
As MS RDC, in an ideal world it would be nice if that could be resolved. I have been playing about with that myself a few times now. At first I thought it was a firewall problem on my Mac. After many hours of fiddling with this, it still had the same problem. This problem is the same for my MacBook pro too.
Many user forums seem to be suggesting config change, but I find it odd how it works fine with Windows XP, but connecting to anything else has problem. Could it be a configuration problem in Windows I wonder? Should you come across a resolution, then let us know here on the Support Community.
Best of Luck.
