How can I make new messages in threaded view to be more visible?

In threaded view when a new message arrives the thread is underlined. Is there a way to make this more visible with color? This is really important as I tend to miss the new messages because I do not see the underline very well.
Thanks

How about View|Folders|Unread? That will at least reduce the amount of stuff you have to work through. Probably not useful if you aren't moving messages to folders by means of filters.
Or the QuickFilter, which has an "Unread" filter option. See the attached image.
Or you could create a Saved Search folder for unread messages.
You can set up code to tweak the colours but it's rather techie and not trivial to do.

How can I make email messages stay on my computer?

Up till now I had a .me mail account and I used POP. Now I've moved to iCloud, and apparently am forced to use IMAP.
I have an iMac on which I want to keep all my mail, deal with it, archive it, etcetera. And I have an iPad on which I occasionally check my mail when away from my desk, and on which I don't want to keep any mail. Up till now I used to delete all mail on my iPad as soon as I was sure it was stored on my iMac. But apparently that doesn't work anymore. I emptied the IN box on my iPad, and now the IN box on my iMac is empty too, as, I just noticed to my horror, is the SENT box there. There used to be quite a number of mails I absolutely needed to keep, and some I still have to answer …
How can I make sure that the mail I want to be on my iMac really gets there and stays there for as long as I choose to keep it (other than not throwing away any mail anywhere, which will eventually fill my Cloud)? Will it be enough to move all mail in the IN and SENT box to a corresponding box in the "On My Mac" section?
Any advise would be more than wellcome.
Best Regards
Bart

You have already worked it out, make local folders (doesn't matter what you call them) and put mail that you wish to keep, but not keep on the server in the local folders, as long as the folders are 'On your Mac' they will not appear on your other devices.
As a bonus when you change your mind and want a piece of mail 'globally' accessible just move it from the local folder back to the iCloud account folder.

How can I make new iCal events default to 1 hour long?

Please help me love my iCal again. How can I set it up so that the default for a new event is an hour long instead of EIGHT?!? Why on earth does iCal think a new event should be eight hours long? It's especially annoying at night. Add a new event at 9PM and iCal sets an end for 5AM and rolls it into the next day, which means I have to change the end time and change the end date every time I add a new event.
Seriously, who designed this thing? Here's a perfect example of bad design (which, coming from Apple is shocking!): In the menu, click New Event. Does iCal create a new event? No. It draws a box arrow pointing to the big plus sign. Are we sure Microsoft didn't design this thing?
I'm a diehard Mac Guy for over 17 years. But I must say, I'm disappointed with some aspects of Lion. Yikes. (sorry... I needed to vent!)

I probably should have noted that I'm using iCal in the month view. Maybe that's why my iCal thinks every new event is eight hours long? The previous iCal didn't behave this way.
And, yes, a menu item titled New Event that opens a box where I can create a new event rather than actually creating a New Event is bad design. It adds extra steps. It feels like a Microsoft thing where you click on something and then get asked if that's really what you wanted to do. When I click New Event, I want a new event to open so I can input the details including calenrar, alarm, repeating data, notes, etc. Sure, if I wanted a quick option, I'd go for the + sign to add one. But when it comes to having to change calendars or add extra info, making me go through extra steps is poor design.
There's a lot to like in the new iCal, but pushing the app away from design simplicity for VISUAL simplicity is poor design for a desktop OS app. On a three inch screen like the iPhone, it makes perfect sense. It's brilliant, in fact. But on a desktop OS? I completely understand the idea of merging iOS with OS X, but a motorcycle is not a tractor trailer even though they both have engines. To treat them as such is poor design.
Another example: in iCal, it's easy to hide calendars you may not need to see. That's a great feature. In the previous iCal, there was a pane that showed which calendars were visible and which were not. Now, if you're looking at a month, you have no way of seeing that there may also be more events that are hidden without clicking the calendars for a popup to display which are visible and which are not. I'm no Mac basher. I have a series of the black & white "Think Different" prints framed and hanging on my walls. I love Apple, but the new iCal is poor design.

How can I make new tabs open next to the current tab?

New tabs are advertised in Firefox 5.0 as being set to open next the the current tab by default. Mine, however, do not do this. They open to the right of the last tab, necessitating a lot of tab-scrolling, and a minor waste of time.
I have not installed the extension that forces the tab behaviour I'm currently witnessing.
Is there a kind soul out there with any suggestions for how I can get my new tabs to appear next to the tab I'm working on?

Tabs that are "related" to the current tab, like the same domain, open to the right of the current tab. Other links that are from other domains open at the right end of the tab strip.
The pref for that actions is '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''.
To have them all open to the right of the current tab would need an add-on, if that action even exists in an add-on.

How can I make IMAP message flags (replied, forwarded) update regularly ?

Several Macs are connecting to the same (Citadel) IMAP-server here. The problem is that if someone replies to an existing message the "replied to" flag (little arrow in the message list) is only showing up on the other machines if I restart mail.app on them.
Even manual synchronization via the Mailbox/Synchronize.. does not update the flags. The same applies to the other flags (forwarded, read).
How can I configure mail.app to automatically synchronize these flags ?

I will clarify. I would like to select emails that are either:
Replies to recently sent mail. This isn't perfect, since some messages are not important, so I don't need to know right away that there's a reply.
or
Replies to specific messages that I would mark as important within Mail.app, somehow. I don't specifically want to mark the messages with an !important flag, since that would impose on the recipient, and there's no way to guarantee that they will reply with the !important flag intact.
I suppose that I might use Contacts groups and add the "currently important" people to a specific group, then select the messages from people in that group, but that is not exactly optimal, since I'd have to maintain that group manually.

How can i make changes from the user in TabBar with more button persistent? I´m using the Storyboard.

I have build an App with more than 5 Tabs, the user can change the order of the items, but this is not persitent.
How can i fix this on iOS 7 and i´m using the Storyboard.

Can I do it afterwards ?
Yes. In addition to what Bee Jay said, here are some other tips.
First record a pattern that's a few bars long, and don't tweak any knobs while you're doing this. Set a Cycle Range, because we want to play this pattern over and over again. Press A to make Automation visible (although there isn't any yet).
Find the channel strip for this track, either in the Inspector or in the Mixer window. Just above the meter, look for the button that says "Off." Hold down this button and a menu will appear. Select "Touch." Press Play. As the pattern plays the first time, pick a knob in the ABL2 window, and mess with that knob. At the end of the pattern, let go of the knob, and then watch what the knob does as the pattern plays again. Then as the pattern plays some more, mess with another knob. You'll notice that curves are being drawn in the Arrange window as you mess with the knobs.
This should help get you started.

How can I disable new messages from rotating?

Hi All,
My apologies if this has already been answered. I'm using Messages on my Macbook. I am trying to find if there is a way to disable new chats from moving above old chats. The way it works now, I use Messages for work, and when I have 3 people messaging me at once, the messages keep doing a musical chairs back and forth switch.
I've looked through all of the settings and have not found anything. Let me know if I'm explaining this poorly and I'll try and communicate it better.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Blank tab position: How can I make new (CTRL+T) tabs open on the left instead of far right?

When I open a new tab (new, blank tab, from a link), it opens on the far right of the tab bar. This doesn't work for me because when I open a new tab, I use it immediately, so I would like it to be appear adjacent to the tab I'm currently using. I've scoured support and forums without finding a way to change the position of new tabs.
NOTE: When I say "new tab," I am mean NEW tabs - the kind that contain the new tab page, created using CTRL+T or File->New Tab not tabs opened from links. I am emphasizing this point because I have found plenty of questions and answers about how to make links opened in a new tab open on the far right or next to the current tab by changing the value in browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent in about:config.

The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ Tab Mix Plus] extension appears to have this feature, pictured in the screen shot here: http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Events_-_New_Tabs

HT5312 How can I make new Apple ID????

How do secure my Apple ID ?????

If you've forgotten the answers to your security questions then read the page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
If you want to create a new account (all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your existing account) then http://appleid.apple.com

How can I make new finder windows open in front

Since upgrading to Lion, whenever I open a new window, installer, DMG, etc, it opens BEHIND all the other windows and I have to move windows out of the way in order to interact with application or whatever I have opened.

Thanks,
