How can I click on an e-mail link and have it automatically start my aol mail?

When I click on an e-mail link on Firefox, it will not open my aol mail to compose a letter. I cannot find, on Options - Applications - mailto, where I can point to aol mail.
Can someone help?

AOL doesn't appear in the actions dropdown for mailto. HOWEVER, I have solved the problem by this manner:
I went to Control Panel - Programs - Default Program - Set Program access & computer defaults - Custom - Choose a default e-mail program - AOL.
When I did that, BAM! - I went to Firefox, clicked on the e-mail address, and it instantly put the e-mail address into AOL on an outgoing e-mail ready for me to use.
Thank you for responding. Don

How can I delete EVERY THING off my Mac and have it like new?

There are sites that I've viewed and programs I have downloaded that I NEED to delete completely from my computer!! Ie: Friends telling me that a program is free and has no viruses, but it does! Sites forwarded that are supposed sfw, but are not!!
I would like to DELETE EVERY THING off the computer and have it be like new.
I remember on my Dell PC if I hit f8 or f11 (can't remember which one) a screen would appear and if I chose option "Dell Factory Image Restore" it would DELETE EVERY THING off of the computer and have it like new - as if you just got it from Dell.
Is there anything like that for Macs?
Whether it be some where on the computer already?
Or if it's with the CDs that came with the Mac?

Can i buy on itunes on my Mac and have it automatically download to my ipad

So I am sat at work, thinking about my camping trip at the weekend. I usually like a movie on the iPad just in case. My iPad is at home....... Can I purchase a movie rental in iTunes on my Mac at work and have it automatically download to my iPad??

If you rent a film on your work's Mac then it will download on that Mac - rentals are a one-time only download, they will download on the device/computer that they are rented on. If you want it on your iPad then you will either need to rent it directly on the iPad, or rent and download it on the computer that you sync it to and then connect the iPad and move the rental over to it.

How can I hyperlink pages between multiple indd docs, and have them work in a pdf?

Ok, this is confusing, so I'm going to try to be as clear as possible. I'm using InDesign CS6.
I am working on a catalog, over 500 pages, which is split into several smaller indd files.
I need to end with one single pdf of the whole catalog, with links to different pages. For example, there's an index in the back, a TOC in the front, and various "related product" type references throughout the catalog which I would like to have the page numbers as clickable links.
When I try just linking to the different docs, either clicking it in the pdf opens the indd file (not helpful) or nothing happens at all (even less helpful). So I assume there must be a trick to it. Or it's impossible.
I know how to do this if everything was one big indd file, but it's not. I suppose that could be an option but I really don't know how my mac will react to a file that large.
So, how can I make this happen? Is there a way? Would it be better to just do this in Acrobat?

I actually did already create a book with all the files in it, but I couldn't figure out how that was helpful. The hyperlink panel doesn't seem to have any "book" options (unless I'm looking in the wrong place?) and just linking to the different files (after creating the book) didn't have any different results than linking to the files before I created the book.
I thought maybe linking to the different files in the book would work if I could export the whole book to pdf at once (which would be super-helpful in and of itself), but that doesn't seem to be an option either.
I guess what I'm asking is for you to elaborate on what to do after creating the book.
Thanks!

How can I create a custom field in contacts and have it appear in ICal?

How can I create a custom field in contacts (death date) and have it appear in calendar?
Birthdays seems to work fine but I'd like to do the same for a custom field called Date of Death

By default, iTunes convert files to type AAC which has an extension of .m4a
For iTunes to recognize them as Audiobook files, the extension needs to change from .m4a to .m4b
This can be done a number of different ways. Here are 2 (beginner and advanced)
. simply, by renaming each file from windows explorer
. more complex, by using Start/Run/cmd to get a "DOS" type window,
using the command "cd" to change to the directory that your files are in
and entering "ren *.m4a *.m4b"

How can I get Configurator off my work PowerMac and have my ipad, ipod4 controlled by my macbook pro from home?

Hi, I put apple configurator on my work machine which has all my itunes, my entire Apple Macintosh History on it and used apple configurator thinking it would be a great way to sync all my devices. I get it now, that it doesn't do that for the private person but is really for an institution or employer. Be that as it may I threw away the app from my main computer and thought I would be done with it.
I just reinstalled apple configurator and thought I took all devices off it. My ipad disappeared from the itunes menu. I plugged my ipad back into my machine and Paulz Config reappeared. I need to get this off my work PowerMac and have my ipad, ipod4 controlled by my macbook pro from home. And does it matter if I use the same email address that's listed with my power mac at work to easily switch the dominant mac over to my home from work. Things can get dicey at work and I don't want my life tied to the work power mac anymore. Thanks, Paul I realize there are a ton of questions in this. I am gratefull if I can just get the apple config off everything.

To completely remove Apple Configurator from a Mac, you need to delete the application along with the following:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator.
You may also want to delete the contents of ~/Library/Keychains and /var/db/lockdown to remove the Supervision Certificate, public and private keys and device pairing information. NOTE: There are other things in Keychains that you may or may not want to delete. Google "keychains" to learn more about what's in that folder.
Good luck!

How can I edit a photo in Photoshop Elements and have the edit appear in Windows 7, My Pictures?

In Windows XP Pro, any edit I made to a photo in Photoshop Elements 10 appeared automatically in that photo in My Pictures. This does not happen in my new Windows 7 computer. Can I change that and have the edit from PE10 appear in My Documents/My Pictures?

When you finish editing choose:
File >> Save As
Then choose a file name and folder and save.

How can I read an email on my iPad and have it not be marked as read?

I have an Exchange account set up on my iPad for my work email. My email is partly organized such that I look at unread emails (whether or not I've actually read them) for actions required. However, when I tap an email on my iPad, it is automatically marked as read as soon as it comes up in the reading pane. I do realize I can tap a button to have it marked as unread, but I want the default to be that an email is not marked as read. Any feedback?

On the iPad, using the mail app, there is no way to do what you are asking without tapping the flag icon and marking the item as unread. Have you tried the OWA app for the iPad? It may have that functionality, but I haven't tested it as you need an Office 365 subscription with Exchange support to use the app.

How can I view my daughter's iTunes library and have it download to my iTunes library?

I have a lot of Apple devices and also Apple IDs (too many created mostly accidentally over time) but when I bought my daughter her iPod, I created her own Apple ID. I only recently allowed her to download some new music and videos as a reward to her and now I wish I had them in my iTunes LIbrary so I can have them on myiPhone, on my iMac, Apple TV or iPad. I didn't want her to have access to my Apple ID on her iPod and felt limiting it by creating her own account with a PW only I know (so she cannot download anything unless I do it) would create the controls I wanted. I have logged out of my ID and then into hers as I am in the iTunes application, but don't knwo where I can ask it to "transfer purchases made on this iPod to my iTunes Library". Home sharing will not work since as I just read you can only use one Apple ID to have that work.
What is the best way for families or people with numerous accounts to share music and other apps., etc., bought with many Apple IDs?
I wish they made it as a "sub account" of my main one and then they all where part of a sort of directory tree so that all music bought under sub directories was owned and automatically transferred to the main account. Could this be done?

On your iOS device:
Settings > Music > turn Show ALl Music off
This will hide purchases that are not locally on your device.
In iTunes create a Playlist with just your music and sync only that playlist.

How can i type text in one text box and have the same text appear in a second text box? (on the same page)

I'm trying to make a simple CD label template and would like the text typed into the title text field on the cover to also appear in the title box on the back cover when typed just the once.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
chuck b.

Hi Chuck,
Not possible with a Text box, but can be done with a table.
Type the text in cell A1 (top left). When you exit the cell, the text will appear in C1 (top right).
Table can have fewer cells; cell borders may be set to 'none' to make them invisible; font and size may be different is each cell (as shown).
The formula in C1 is pretty simple: =A1
So it's possible, but on the whole, I agree with Peter—Copy/Paste is just as efficient, Drag and Drop onto (styled) placeholder text works quite nicely.
Regards,
Barry

Brilliant! That worked like a charm.
I created a new User Account on one of my Macs and logged into it. I connected my iPhone to its iTunes and checked my iPhone's Sync Contacts option in iTunes. Since that account's address book was basically empty (two dummy contacts, one for Apple and one for this new user), I ended up with only those two Contacts on the phone. Then, going back to my real User account (which does not have syncing turned on in iTunes) the phone synced nicely with the MobileMe account and populated the phone with all the MobileMe contacts and groups.

How can i tidy up folders in windows explorer and have the new names etc recognized by itunes?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have spent quite a while searching how to do this...
For example: In Windows Explorer, 2 different R.E.M. cd's have come up as different artists names, R.E.M and R.E.M_
Although in iTunes they are both displayed correctly, there are many, many other examples.
One more - a Celtic Box set with 4 cd's... 1-3 are in a 'Various' folder, and cd 4 is in a 'Compilation' folder.
It's not the end of the world, but it's driving me a bit mad, as my ocd is starting to kick in!!
Does anyone have any tips please?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to AD!
Is your new laptop Vista, and the older desktop XP?
If so, they have different paths to the default library.
On XP, it's c:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
On Vista, it's C:\Users\ username \Music\iTunes\iTunes Music

How can I make a navbar in my template and have it editable so It can have an image in the down state on each page?

I want to make a navbar in my template to base all my webpages on,
but when I looked in Dreamweaver CS4 help the comments said navbars were obselete and that I should use swap image behavior.
There was a tutorial linked about how to make the button stay in down position on each page but there was nothing written about how to do this when each page will be based on the template.
I read somewhere that if i were to make the navbar in my template and set it as an editable region some of the stuff that would need to be changed to make the buttons in the down position on the pages made from the template would be outside of the editable region.

How can I export images out of LR3.5 and have the file numbers watermarked on them?

Ladies & Gents,
I'm trying to export a large number of images out of LR3.5 and want to show a unique reference number on each one as a watermark, so that customers can easily state which photo they're interested in. I can't find anything on the export settings of the software with the exception of copyright symbols etc, but this just puts the same watermark on each photo and I want to number them individually and make it easy for the customer to identify an image.
I'm guessing there will be a 'plug in' to do this and I don't mind paying for it, I would just rather do everything in LR and not have to then use a second piece of software and re-export all the images for a second time.
One last thing..... I'm thinking of upgrading to LR4 in the near future and so I would like to be able to use any suggestions on that platform as well (if possible)
Many thanks,
Luke

HT4686 How can I publish my website developed using iWeb and have all functions of the blog page work as it did with MobileMe?

I have developed a website using iWeb and it includes a blog page selected from stock pages in iWeb. I'm publishing it with GoDaddy and when I do that the interactive functions of the blog page don't work. (Adding comments and photos as well as searching). Is there any simple way to host this site somewhere so that those functions work?

No, because all those functions were MobileMe only and now that MobileMe has gone, they won't function any longer.
To enable these to function, you either need to add them yourself or change your blogging platform to something else such as WordPress etc., and create a link from iWeb to your WordPress blog or embed the blog page using iframe into your iWeb site.
Commenting systems such as Disqus or http://www.intensedebate.com work quite well.
