How can I temporarily change to a different ISP and email account ?

I currently use Earthlink DSL with the modem connected by ethernet cable for my email and internet access . . . my brother has a Windows XP PC connected by cable modem, his ISP is Adelphia Cable . . . he is sick of years of Windows problems and ready to consider a Mac so since I have 2 older iMacs I want to lend him one to learn Leopard on and try out for a while . . . how do I set it up for his ISP's internet connection and email account ? . . . I need to keep all my Earthlink account settings intact for when he gives it back . . . do I need to temporarily add a new user with full privileges and separate ISP / email ? . . . or can I set up a secondary ISP / email account for myself as Administrator but enter all his email info instead of mine ? . . . thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks Larry . . . my brother and I do not use wireless, I am planning to shut down his PC, turn off his cable modem, switch the cable from the PC to my iMac, turn the cable modem back on, and see what happens when I boot up . . . when I did an Erase & Install of Leopard on this G5 iMac I chose DSL Modem during Setup Assistant and was instantly online with Earthlink . . . so I'm hoping the iMac will somehow recognize my brother's Adelphia Cable connection . . . your instructions for setting up his email are what I figured I would need to do so I hope he knows where to find all the necessary info on his PC because I know nothing about Windows XP.

    From the Safari menu bar click View > Zoom In  or press Command + on the keyboard to increase the size of the page.
    If that doesn't help, open System Preferences > Accessibilty > Settings then select Zoom on the left.

  • How can I temporarily change the Apple ID on an iPad

    I would like to share a book with my wife on her iPad. Can I temporarily change her account to just share the book and not disturb our individual apps?

    If you mean that the iPad is tied to another user's iCloud account, you have to ask them to erase the device for you. You can't do it on your own. The device requires their Apple ID and password in order to turn off Find My iPad and to delete the iCloud account.
    IF you just want to sign into another Apple ID (not recommended either) go to Settings>iTunes and App store>Apple ID and sign out of that ID and sign into your ID,

  • Can i use two iphone 4's on my mac usings itunes account but also get different contacts and email accounts...help please

    Hi i two iphones one mine one my wifes.
    We have one mac laptop and one itunes account. is it possible to sync the two iphones on itunes but have two different contacts and email address.
    But i would also like my apps to work on her mobile as i do not want to pay for them twice..

    Yes. There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes on the same computer.
    If both iPhones are synced with the same Address Book under the same computer login account, then the contacts on each iPhone will be the same. With the Address Book on a Mac, you can sync select Address Book Groups only with an iPhone instead of the entire Address Book and all groups. You and/or your wife can create an Address Book Group or multiple Groups to be synced with each other's iPhone only. You can transfer the settings for one email account to one iPhone and the settings for another email account to the other iPhone.

  • How can I add content from a different spreadsheet and thus create a reference between then?

    Hello,
    I am starting to use Numbers 3.5 in a MacBook Pro Late 2011.
    I am trying to find a way to create a reference between spreadsheets.
    For instance, I have a spreadsheet for each year to control things at home.
    While creating a 2015 version, I can't find a way to make formulas using values from 2014 spreadsheet and make then referenced.
    Does anyone know if it is possible and how can I do that?
    An observation: using excel I can do that with
    'Macintosh HD:Users:gabriel:Documents:Pessoal:2013:[Home 2013.xlsx]Janeiro'!$D$374'
    Thank you!!
    Gabriel

    Hi Gabriel,
    I suppose you could cut and paste formula results to a tab in our new spreadsheet document if the vlues you want are contained there. There are some people who have written scripts to import data from different docs. But no, Numbers does not support links between docs.

  • How can I set up a password to open each email account to keep privacy?

    Hello,
    Different members of the family are using the same ipad. How can I set up a password for each email account to keep privacy ?
    Thanks
    Dx

    You can not - it's a single-account device, including email, so you can't set up seperate passwords for seperate emails. All or nothing, I'm afraid.

  • How do I sync changes to my address books and emails between two computers?

    I have a desktop and laptop. I want to be able to synchronize my changes between the two computers. For instance when I add a new contact or delete email from my desktop I want those changes to be synced on the laptop. I have three email addresses which are all POP accounts.

    Email? Use IMAP. Your current POP-based service is fundamentally unsuited to your needs.
    Contacts are not so easy. You need a common central data store that all your installed address books can synchronize with. Google Contacts is one such, but there are difficulties in that it and Thunderbird handle street addresses differently. I use gContactSync to synchronize Thunderbird with Google and for the most parts it's quite satisfactory. Where I have trouble is with a Blackberry, but the Blackberry phone has various other issues that lead me to think that Blackberry coding is not of the highest quality.
    Another (and non-google) solution is this add-on:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/addressbooks-synchronizer/
    which can sync your address books to a variety of different resources, including a folder in an email account. So this is fine between various installations of Thunderbird, but probably can't reach out to other devices or email clients. I haven't tried it with an ftp server yet; if you are able to run your own then this may offer the best way of using this add-on.
    I think a cause for concern is that Thunderbird's Address Book use a "flat file" format, where each address book is stored within a single file. So one small minor change to one Contact potentially necessitates the whole file (address book) being updated, leading to large and therefore slow transfers between Thunderbird and the relevant server.

  • How can I retrieve pics from my broken iPod and email them to myself?

    My ipod touch is a 4g. I want to sync these pics into my new iPhone or email them to myself and recover them. How can I fix this? Please let me know.

    What about iCloud? Is there any chance these pics are stored in the cloud and that I could retrieve them that way? Would this related to iPhoto functionally?

  • How can I set up a unique signature for each email account?

    Is Apple kidding me? I can put multiple email accounts on my iPad but they must all have the same signature, bcc settings etc...
    That makes this a toy not a tool!
    Is there an app for that?
    RA

    The only work around I can think of would be to use TextExpander. Not the best solution but possibly the only one for now.

  • How can i link my I phone 4 to my email account, that is listed as "Other"

    i am wanting to link my new i phone 4 to my email account, but the email account is [email protected] Can any one out there help me with a step by step?
    its would be greatly appreciated, because idk what all teh terms are,
    Thanks for the time,
    garrett.

    No one here can tell you what to enter, because it is specific to your email provider, they type of service they provide (IMAP, POP or Exchange) your email address, your email password, your email provider's incoming mail server and your email provider's outgoing mail server.
    You can copy this information from the email setup on your computer, or go to your email provider's support site, where they will probably have instructions specifically for the iPhone. If they don't call their support and ask. Well, I checked, and they don't seem to have it posted. But here is the contact information: http://jbnets.com/ContactUs.html
    You can also try to let iTunes import the information. Connect the phone to iTunes, click on it in the left column, then go to the Info page. Check "Sync mail accounts", then check your email account name if it is listed.

  • How can text messaging stop from 2 different Iphones and change from the blue to the green and not go thru?

    while in the middle of texting with a friend the bubble turned from blue to green and wouldnt go thru since I dont have regular texting on my phone...all my other Iphone friends and family still are working. Just this one person has been locked out. Who or what do I do?HELP!

    There have been iMessage problems for about 2 days that are not impacting everyone.   I'm pretty sure it's not your phone, but the service issue that is impacting you.
    Try again soon and it should start working again.   There are lots of complaints about it again today.

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.
