Can I make "Catagories" or such so I can have a family group and a friends group and a work group etc And if so, can I synch it to gmail?
First, I use T'bird and love it. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible.
Now to my questions: I want to group my contacts as "Family", Friends", "Work" etc. How do I do it? Then, i synch T;bird with my gmail account. Will the groups translate? And finally, my gmail syncs with my Android phone (the only reason I have gmail). Will the groups sync with my phone? (Okay, Okay, the phone isn't a T'bird issue. Still, if anybody has an answer????) Actually, can I sync my phone with T'bird without getting gmail in the middle?
Thanks in advance.
To synchronize your address books, you need to use an add-on in Thunderbird. I like gContactSync; others speak highly of Google Contacts.
Both will allow whatever groups you set up in Google's Contacts to be echoed as Lists in Thunderbird.
And your Android phone will be more than happy to sync with Google's Contacts.
I consider it worthwhile to run a gmail account purely for the purpose of managing an address book shared between my phone and Thunderbird. I didn't want my whole TB Address Book on my phone; most of it is made up of Contacts for whom I know an email address, but no phone number, so they wouldn't be especially useful on the phone. Hence a separate address book can be populated just with Contacts chosen carefully for their relevance to the use of a phone. Of course it can store email addresses too.
To attend to your last question, probably not. Few phone manufacturers offer support for Thunderbird in their synch programs. Most of them are dire IMHO. Nokia's PC Suite was OK but they have been trying for years to roll out an inferior substitute program, Ovi Suite. Samsung devices come with Kies which is near useless.

<Email Edited by Host>Set up as New now, or set up from iCloud back up if you have this. Then you can Restore from Back Up on iTunes at a later time.

I just have to QuickTime player and somehow the last movies I synched from my iPhone (3Gs) were done in .MOV instead of .wmp format. I haven't had an issue with this before. It won't allow me to export and I can copy, but it will not paste into another program. I have tried the codec downloads. I'd like to refrain from purchasing Quicktime Pro if at all possible. I just want to burn these movies to DVD.
Thanks.Two of my external drives both stopped working. One was for the original file the other was a back-up. The movies are NOT in the library. I just get the word downloaded next to the movie which will not activate when I try to click it on the "download previous purchases" screen. The ones with the iCloud icons are more recent downloads.

I really respect all your work in ios 7.1 but it is not like ios 6. I wish you could let us go back....
Ios 6 was really fast and you didn't embarrass yourself
On the other hand ios 7 is the worst on iphone 4. I could easily change
Into android but I love ios and I am expecting to see much better improvement
To iphone 4 so it remembers ios 6 speed...

I Am trying to make a calendar in iphoto. I have the latest ipad and just installed iphoto so everything should be up to date. There is supposed to be a calendar option in the toolbar. There is non that I can find. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
The Apple iTunes webpage for iPhoto for iOS has no mention of calendars. iPhoto for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iPad (3rd generation), iPad Wi-Fi + 4G, iPad (4th generation), iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular (4th generation), iPad mini and iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular on the iTunes App Store
AFAIK is only available in the iPhoto for OS X on the Mac.

Hi All, I want an application which can make other application password protected, Do we have any such application like applocker etc for iPhone 5
Some apps allow you to do this with documents, photos, and videos but it is not possible to do with apps. Your best and only solution is to use the phone passcode.

I have an iphone 5s and when I make a playlist on itunes for music videos and sync my iphone the playlist does not show up. What can I do to fix the problem?
Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

I have already added the music videos to my iphone so that is not the problem.... i cant seem to figure out how to make a playlist for them...

I am new to iMovies. When I make a video using the mic and camera in my Macbook Pro, the audio and video are not in synch. Very annoying. How can I fix this?
DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.

How can I make the background one solid color? It is too difficult and noticeable when I use the retouch button and try to erase all the creases in my backdrop. So, how can I have just a solid white background?
When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath. -

I have an Iphone 4s and i can't make a connection to my mac and other devices via bluetooth! Why is this a problem and how can i repair it?
"I have an Iphone 4s and i can't make a connection to my mac and other devices via bluetooth! ":
That is correct.
"Why is this a problem and how can i repair it?"
Becasue this has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad. There is nothing to repair. -

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but not hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro and isight camera, mike combo.
If I use google it works. If I use Ichat, it works. If I use skype it works.This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume) or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call. -
