How do I set the direction of the sync?

How do I set the direction of the sync? I recall from days past that there was a window that let you choose whether to "upload" the info from your computer or "download" the info from the .MAC account. In this case I am trying to import my address book from the .MAC server. What are the new steps in 10.4? or where can this sync direction window be found?

Under Mac OS X 10.4 and later, the synchronization of information with .Mac is no longer the responsibility of iSync, but is instead controlled through a preference pane in the System Preferences application.
A forum dedicated to .Mac Sync is located here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
Assuming that your machine is registered with .Mac and currently able to synchronize data bidirectionally, this is how you reset your data:
• launch System Preferences
• select the .Mac preference pane
• press the Advanced tab
• press the Reset Sync Data… button
• choose one or all registered data categories from the drop down Replace: menu
• pick a data flow direction (by default, it is set to FROM .Mac TO your computer)
• press the Replace button

  • How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

    How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

    Thanks T P I got this from your search:  http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/31/set-default-pdf-viewer-mac-os-x/
    for others here is the answer.
    If you’ve downloaded Adobe Acrobat on the Mac you’ve probably discovered that it takes overPreview as the default PDF viewer in OS X, which is annoying because Acrobat is slow to load and a fairly bloated application. There’s little need to use Acrobat Reader as the way to view PDF files, so here’s how to change it back to Preview.
    Change the Default PDF Viewer in Mac OS X
    From the Mac OS X desktop, find a PDF file and hit Command+i to “Get Info” on the file
    Click on the arrow next to “Open with:” to expand and access the default application list
    Click the pull-down menu and choose “Preview” from the list, or if it’s not visible, navigate to it by choosing “Other”
    With Preview.app selected, click on the “Change All” button
    This will restore the leaner and very capable Preview app as the default PDF viewer in OS X and prevent the lengthy launch of Acrobat anytime a PDF is opened. This tip will be of less use if you need the full functioned Acrobat version, but for the average person just looking to quickly open pdf docs this can be a significant time saver.
    If you want a quick PDF file to use for this tip, you can grab the Apple history book “The Macintosh Way” for free (direct PDF link).

  • How do I set a reminder for the last day of every month

    Have I missed something? But how do you set a reminder for the last day of every month to recurr indefinatley in iOS6? Sorry if this is really simple but I just can't seem to work it out. Any help gratefully received.

    Hey Mattye88 not sure if you have seen but actully you can do this, but for some reason you have to use Siri.  If you bring up Siri and say "set a reminder ever 4 weeks from next wednesday to check the gas meter" it will set one and it will work just fine, I have reminders to water a Bonsai every three days and it works fine it just shows as custom repeat on the user interface.  Alas it seems you can not use Siri to set one for the end of the month though which is why I am in this threed.  Still hope it helps you to know how to sort this problem atleast.

  • On Ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the iPhone

    on ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the phone

    i think i stumbled onto a solution.
    the upgrade to os7 brought a bunch of music into my phone i didn't care to hear anymore.
    (free downloads from the itunes twitter feed..some of them are good, most of them i normally delete immediately)
    i had 3 pesky songs that would not allow me to delete.
    every other song in my library gave me the option to delete, just not the ones i never wanted to hear again.
    ..super frustrating when the song keeps starting over everytime you touch it while scrambling for a delete option.
    they were purchases which i'd hidden.
    i plugged to computer and tried to use iTunes to delete but they did not appear.
    all "show all" options for music and video were off.
    itunes match was off.
    all automatic downloads were off.
    "show all music" was off.
    i logged out of my apple ID for several minutes.
    i think this may have given time for my account to resynchronize the items i didn't want to see anymore.
    i've logged back in and they're still gone.
    i don't care if i hear a new eric clapton song again for the rest of the year thank you.

  • How do I set a variable on the main timeline from within a symbol?

    Just getting started with Animate and coming to it from Flash, as may be apparent from my question. How do you set a variable to the main timeline from within a symbol?
    I have 24 pairs of clickable elements, each in their own symbols, and all 24 of those symbols sit inside another symbol. I want all 24 to be able to set the same global variable when clicked. I can't find that this question is addressed anywhere, which makes me think I may be stuck in a Flash mindset and approaching the task in the wrong way. (There are however MANY discussions of how to address objects at different levels in the hierarchy. That's well covered.)
    Relatedly, how do you access a function on the main timeline from within a symbol?
    Adobe should consider putting together a support page (or pages) just for folks migrating form Flash. In the materials I've encountered so far there seems to be a studied effort to refrain from mentioning Flash in any way. I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me who have a deep background in Flash coding, but are just getting started with Animate. We don't need help with most of the basic concepts, but we may still have some pretty basic questions about how to accomplish some things in Animate because our Flash knowledge is getting in the way.

    Hi Bill,
    There are plenty of threads on here about scope, but here's one way to create a global variable:
    // code on Stage.compositionReady
    sym.myGlobalVar = 1;
    Then, anywhere in your project, you can check/set that var like so:
    sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalVar = 2;
    And here's one way to create a global function:
    // code on Stage.compositionReady
    sym.myGlobalFunction = function(){
              console.log('myGlobalFunction');
    Then, anywhere in your project, you can call that function like so:
    sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalFunction();

    How do I set up and use the TV tuner for an ENVY 23 TouchSmart?

    Hello LindaLamb:
    First thing is connect your coex TV Anti cable to your computer the end connector looks like a bolt. Then open up Windows Media Center go down the list to live tv and follow and fill in your information with wizard . If your computer doesn't have an built in TV Tunner then you will need to purchase an USB TV tunner. http://www.bing.com/shopping/search?q=usb+tv+tunne​r&qpvt=usb+tv+tunner&FORM=HURE . frrw

  • How do you set an image into the background of a JPanel or JFrame?

    How do you set an image into the background of a JPanel or JFrame?

    Something like this, Ive thrown in an ImageIcon on a
    button too for good measure.
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class JFrameImage extends JFrame {
    public JFrameImage() {
    Container c    = getContentPane();
    JPanel panel = new JPanel(){
                 public void paintComponent(Graphics g)     {
    ImageIcon img = new
    = new ImageIcon("background.jpg");
                      g.drawImage(img.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
                      super.paintComponent(g);
            panel.setOpaque(false);
    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("onButton.jpg");
    JButton button = new JButton(icon);
    panel.add(button);
    c.add(panel);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrameImage frame = new JFrameImage();
    frame.setSize(200,200);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    Going totally fancy pants
    ImageIcon bigImage = new ImageIcon(bgImage.getImage().getScaledInstance(getWidth(), getHeight(),Image.SCALE_REPLICATE));
    g.drawImage(bigImage.getImage(), 0, 0, this); Will scale the image to the size of the panel
    whereas
    for (int y = 0; y  < getHeight(); y = y + image.getHeight(null))
    for (int x = 0; x< getWidth(); x = x + image.getWidth(null))
    g.drawImage(image, x, y, this); Will give a tiled effect
    Try tiling with an animated gif and bring your processor to a standstill.

  • How do I set a limit to the number of registrants to an event form?

    How do I set a limit to the number of registrants filling out an event form?

    PLEASE add this feature. as far as I can tell there are no option out there that serve this need. FormAssembly, EmailMeForm, or FormsCentral. Think of how many customers would use this. Imagine a t-shirt company that pre-prints inventory, wouldn't they want to limit how many forms could be submitted that want a size L shirt? My business is participant based, like the evnt question above we need to limit the number of participants. Of course I could program my own solution, but then I would miss out on all the other cool FormsCentral features. Any chance this could be added right away if I sponsored it as a custom development?

    How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately you will need to create your Apple ID (account) on another mobile device or a Mac computer. Once three iCloud accounts have been created on an iOS device, it doesn't matter what you do to that device, no further accounts can be created on it.
