How do I set an alert to let me know when someone comes online in Messages?

I was pretty sure that in iChat there was a feature to alert me when someone comes online. I can't seem to find this in Messages in Mountain Lion. Does anyone know where that went?

How can I get my iPhone to let me know when I get an email from Outlook?

How can I get my iPhone to let me know when I get an email from Outlook?

You don;t get an e-mail from outlook.
Outlook is just an e-mail client, just like the mail app on the iphone.
Your e-mail comes into your e-mail account, which you access from both Outlook and the Mail app.
What are you trying to accomplish?

How do I hide from my contacts when I come online

Is it possible to hide from my contacts when I go online? I don't change to invisible etc, I mean the actual point when I log on. Currently even if I am set to invisible, my contacts who have "notify me when my contacst come online" activated still see when I come online. Kind of defeats the whole being invisible point.

Tried that but didn't work. My contacts still know when I come online even if I sign in as invisible.
how did you know? I think the only feature included in Skype today is the feature to notify your contacts when you login as online, not when you login as invisible (which will appear as offline).
...and just tested it and still working in my case (latest Skype for windows version)

How can I set a password on my Mac Mini so someone else cannot open it and read emails, etc.?

How can I set a password on my Mac Mini? Someone else is reading my emails. I would like to be able to lock it so nothing on it could be seen without a password. Is that possible? How?

So uncheck the automatic login after making sure you know your password and it will require a password on startup.
You can also go into the security preferences and have the machine lock itself once the screensaver is activated. This is sometimes controlled from the screensaver preferences as well.
You could also go nuts and activate multiple users where your name appears in the menu bar. When you walk away from the machine you can use that menu to take you to the "login window", effectively locking your machine.

How can I set the OS to show list view when I open a file in an application.

So I know you can chose view options in Finder to always show files in list view there. But how do you set the OS to do the same when opening files in an application.

Okay, cheers, so I guess it's stored in the application prefs. I just installed Snow L last week and it bothered me that everytime I opened a document I had to set my pref again. I wasn't aware that it was storing it for that particular app though cause I'm using so many differnt apps. But you are right, it does store for the individual app. Cheers for the answer!

Why do you have to scroll down every time? You should only see the country window the very first time you launch PSE after installing it.

I have a 22-space alphanumeric product code for my Adobe creative suite 5.5 web premium package.
It does not have the 24-space alphanumeric code that is the product code sequence asked for when signing up for adobe procuct code approval. Adobe keeps asking for a correct code and I only have the one they gave me in the package, called a product code, but adobe keeps rejecting it.
Also, the program never loads correctly - it says this at the end of the 45-minute loading from the disc. That is getting awfully tiresome as well. I have everything closed as they request, and do not know how to turn off the virus protection which is windows defender.
Also, mine is a new teacher edition, and when I go to the page for getting my approval, it will not open that page. I have used Adobe products before with typical annoying hassle but always eventual success. So this really is perturbing.

I had a droid before that I used as a pager. I found an app that would allow me to tell my phone even if its in silence mode if I got a text from "??" whatever then beep/sound off anyway. Since there are so many more apps in the Apple world I cant beive there isnt an equivalant app.
When the sound is muted, all notifications are muted. Because of the greater inherent security in iOS than Android, an app such as you describe is not possible. There are no apps that can selectively override the mute. App developers do not have access to those system functions.

How do I set my iPhone 3G to sync automatically when connected to my computer?

How do I set my iPhone 3G to sync automatically when connected to my computer? The button to "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked, and iTunes opens automatically, but it no longer syncs automatically as it did before the last update. Now I have to hit the "Sync" button each time; much less convenient as I have to frequently update my calendar.

On my iTunes at the top menu, in the Edit drop down menu, at the bottom is Preferences, click that, then pick icon Devices. Then in the middle there are check boxes, one has Prevent ipods,iPhones, ipads from syncing automatically. Try to leave this box empty. See if this helps.

Voicemail is a carrier feature, not a phone feature. This has to be fixed by your carrier, so contact them, as obviously, voicemail is not properly provisioned on your account.

Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone call

Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone calls? I know this seems trivial but I have difficulty seeing, so one of the reasons I actually purchased this phone was for this feature. When the photos do come up they come up in the top right corner in small boxes / windows. I already google'd this topic and they suggested importing the photos - to itunes and than directly on to the iphone, I did this and it didn't work. Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either. I looked in settings and could not find anything that discussed this issue. Although I do believe I have seen iphones that ring with large pictures. Am i Crazy?

You aren't crazy.
Adding the photo to contacts on the computer gets you the smaller pix when people call.
Assign the photo on the phone itself and you get full-size pix.
Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either.
So, that certainly should work. Try it again? Try it with a brand new contact, maybe it is not overwriting a previously existing picture.
I suppose there is a small possibility that Apple thought this differing behavior was a bug instead of a feature and "fixed" it with a recent update, but I doubt it.

Only Apple knows. This isn't Apple. But I have heard rumours that the unlocked iPhone 5 is due to take a light supper around seven o'clock.

Let us know when you personally receive the ICS OTA update!

We are all tired of frequently Googling for when Verizon is going to officially release the Ice Cream Sandwich OTA update for our HTC Rezounds. Please feel free to add to the discussion about the update, but most importantly, let us know when you personally receive the ICS OTA update!
...so we can stop wasting valuable hours every day just Googling...

The only reason I bought the Rezound was because the sales person assured me it would be getting the ICS update in April. LIES, LIES, LIES. Will be very glad when my contract is up!!!
That surely can't be the only reason...the HTC Rezound is a BEAST! With or without ICS.

If you mean iMessage then go into Messages in the Settings app. The feature is Read Receipts.
