How do I stop the EMAIL sync between my desktop and my laptop?

How do I stop the email sync between my desktop computer and my laptop? Right now, the laptop is set to automatically load my email when I click on mail. I use my desktop daily; laptop only when traveling. The laptop is somehow set to receive ALL messages, so I get messages that are several weeks/months old. I want to be able to manually sync and NOT have all of the hundreds of old, already viewed messages sent to my laptop. However, I DO want my desktop to receive all of my old messages so that I can have them when I return from traveling. Thanks.

Actually, your mail isn't 'synchronizing' in the conventional sense at all. And, you are effectively trying to make it do so manually at the present time. As you have discovered, this simply does not work.
The only way that you can effectively address your requirements is to use IMAP—rather than POP3—technology. Using IMAP will allow you to readily control what is stored on the server, and will provide a view into that data store when you use your portable computer.
While is is possible to use POP3 and set one computer to delete mail from the server and the other not to, this is potentially fraught with problems, and will not fully address your concerns.
An IMAP option is available from such providers as Apple with .Mac, AOL with AOL Mail and AIM Mail, and Google with GMail. You can convert an existing POP3 account with such a provider to IMAP with little difficulty, or initiate a new IMAP account with such a provider and forward mail to it from providers who do not offer such an option.

How do I stop the spinning ball that keeps going and going and going

How do I stop the spinning ball that keeps going and going and going. I think I have to remove cookies, but I don't know how.

I think I solved it.
I searched my extensions folder (in my profile) for all image files (PNG and JPG), and found the pop-up images to be in an extension folder related to Firefox Sync (not an external extension, actually). But even though I had already disabled it and un-linked this computer from Firefox Sync, the message still popped-up.
I think the image filename was SYNC.PNG, or something like that. Close Firefox, find the folder where that image is in, and rename the main folder (the one right under the extensions folder) to some other name (such as "original name_copy"). Then start Firefox. Check if it works OK and if the pop-up ceases to appear. If everything OK, then you can delete that folder.
If something goes wrong, just rename the folder to what it was before.

How can I stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again

Hi
I am making a program that simulates how to manage transactions when accessing a database by using locks. I have run into a problem and I hope someone has the time to help me.
When a user does an update the transaction commits and releases its locks when the program executes
<%stmt.executeUpdate("commit!"); %>
I need to put a break in to stop the program executing this statement, to illustrate the lock is set correctly.
I have tried to put in an alert box but this does not prevent the rest of the java code being executed.
I have tried to use prompt boxes, JavaScript functions, but these functions cannot have any java code in them.
I have tried using the java.swing JOptionPane boxes but this didn?t work either
I have tried to get input from the user but I don?t know how to retrieve this data on the same page. (As far as I know you have to use submit and even refresh the page or retrieve it on the next page).
Does anyone know how I can stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again (on same page)
Mette

I already have another client (Tomcat jsp application) running and it throws a SQLException correctly when I don�t put in a commit=true statement and don't close the database connection.
But the problem is how to get the code above to stop to illustrate I have set this lock.
I have tried to use the JOptionPane but because my program is running in a web browser I cannot use the JOptionPane dialog box.
I have tired using an alert box but it executes the commit statement before the alert box is dispayed. So this does not work
While (i < 2)
if( i==1)
%>alert(�The transactions commits when you press Ok�); <% //what it to stop execution here
else
stmt.executeUpdate(�commit�);
I am not using threads so I cannot use the sleep function.
I am using mysql and have already configured it to detect deadlocks and how long to wait for locks.
Thanks for your help

How do I move the Home button between Back Forward and address bar?

The way I have my firefox set up for years is to put the buttons like this:
[Back][Forward][Stop/Reload][Home][Progress Animation][Address Bar]
Now in FF29 I'm trying to move the Home button between the BackForward buttons and the address bar and it won't let me.
I thought FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet? *confused*
Is there a way to do this, am I missing something? Thanks

''' "I thought FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet?" ''' <br />
Whoever told you that was incorrect, as far as I am concerned. Firefox still is more customizable that the "competition", but not as much as previous versions were.
The Home button can be moved, but the Back / Forward combo button is attached to the Address Bar - they can't be separated.
The combo Stop / Reload button is locked in the Address Bar.<br />
The old "Activity Indicator" is gone. Deemed unnecessary with the loading animation on the left corner of each tab, where the Favicon appears once the page is fully loaded.

Many users are installing the Classic Theme Restorer extension. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ <br />But I don't think that is going to turn out to be along term solution. As users start installing other extensions I think they are going to run into compatibility issues where the new extension "expects" the user to be using what Firefox came with - not the "retro" features.

How do I turn off podcast syncing between my iPhone and iTunes on my MacBook Pro?

Hi all.
So yeah... updated my iTunes today (along with the rest of the Mavericks OS X Update Version 10.9.3) and now all the podcasts I subscribe to on my iPhone have shown up in the Podcasts section of iTunes.
Very nice of you, Apple, but I don't want them on my computer. I don't listen to them on my computer. I listen to them on my iPhone. So I'd love to find out how to turn off this mystery syncing if anyone has any insight.
Many thanks in advance!
J

In iTunes on the desktop open the preferences & look in the 'Store tab'.
There is a checkbox for sync podcast subscriptions, disable that & see if it helps.
It isn't clear if this syncing is part of iTunes & iOS syncing (why isnt it under the device section of iTunes?), iCloud or via an app store account.
It looks like it is a feature of the App store - but I don't recollect ever signing into the store in the podcasts app?!
If the above helps submit feedback to Apple since this seems less than clear…

How can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?, how can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?

i had to change the email address to my apple id. now when ever i try to use imessage or the icloud, it wont let me because it is using the old email address. i cant change it on my phone and idk what to do on my computer!

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My Safari Icon ( Button) is missing on my iMac after I downloaded a update. How can I get the icon (Button Safari) back on my desktop and connecting again to the Internet ?...
Thanks for the help

Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

Swapping users between a desktop and a laptop

hi folks. i'm going out of town working for a month. while i'm gone i want to use my wife's ibook and let her use my office desktop mac.
what is the best way to "swap" the users between the two? i would like her to be able to sit down at the desktop mac and have all her settings, docs, etc. just the way she has them on the laptop, and vice versa for me on her ibook. most of the apps are the same.
do i completely wipe both drives? or can i just swap certain files? can i do it with migration assistant?
i can't find anything by searching here or with google, since the "swap file" is something specific and not what i'm looking for.
anyone? i leave in a week. thanks!
iBook & G4 w/ Dual 2G CPU Mac OS X (10.4.8) GBs of RAM and TBs of Storage

What I would do is create a new user on each machine. Now just copy files from one machine to another, e.g. from the old user on machine A to the new user on machine B, and from the older user on machine B to the new user on machine A. There are many "sync" applications that can help you automate this process (look on versiontracker).
When you get home, just "sync" again, and presto, you're ready to swap computers.
This is basically a variant of what I do every time I go on a trip. In my situation there is no second user, but there are two computers and I want the portable to take on all the characteristics of my desktop machine at the moment I am about to walk out the door.

But I assure you it is the best advice you'll get.
