HT1277 Can I have AOL or Google E-mail run ONLY off hard drive Contacts book and not update their address files

Hi,
My wife's AOL account just got hacked and, of course, they used her AOL address book to send out spam to everyone she knows. Is there a way to keep AOL and for that matter Google e-mail accounts from storing addresses of sent e-mail and only rely on the mac's Contacts as a source of addresses. I have been to both and it seems that no matter what I do, they store the addresses. Thanks for the help -

Change the password to the account. This will stop them from using the account to send spam.
I don't have an AOL account to check but in Gmail, go to Settings > General
Select I'll add contacts myself.
TIP: Never use the same password for another account. That way if your email and password are stolen they can only hack that one account.

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

    Your profile says you have 10.6, so why bother with the original 10.5 OS?
    But to your question, before you erase anything, make a backup of your data for safe keeping and restoration. Having an external hard drive for this purpose is most useful.

  • HT1751 when i have moved all of my data to an external hard drive should i delete all of the library files on my laptop/PC

    i have moved all of my data to an external hard drive should i then delete the copies on my laptop

    What are you actually trying to accomplish? Backing up the library, or moving it?
    If backing up don't delete anything.
    If moving did you move the library files as well? Ideally you would copy the entire iTunes folder out to the external drive then shift-start iTunes to connect to the relocated library. This method makes it easier to move the library to a new drive or computer later and keeps everything together for backing up. Rather than delete everything rename the iTunes or iTunes Media folder first (depending on which approach you took) and make sure the library still works before deleting.

  • How can I have links within emails read with Seamonkey open on the default Firefox browser and not the Seamonkey browser?

    I use the SeaMonkey 2.0 mailer for my email client and Firefox 3.6 for my default browser. A link embedded in an email (read with SeaMonkey) opens the SeaMonkey browser and not Firefox. How can I have it open on Firefox?
    (SeaMonkey is not set up as the default browser and Firefox is.)

  • Can I have two identical PCs with clones of the same hard drive?

    This all started when I had a problem with my first pc, a gateway laptop, would not wake up from sleep due to, supposedly, a driver problem. I didn't want to send it off for my free, under-warrantee, repair and be without a computer for however long that
    would take. So I bought another one and took it to a local dealer to clone the hard drive of the first one to put on the new one.
    This created a number of odd problems which eventually I figured out had something to do, it seemed, with Microsoft not allowing two identical machines to exist like that. I only plan to use one, the other one being exclusively for backup or in case something
    happened to the first. But I think the problems occurred when I tried to switch back and forth, to do some texting.
    Is there a way I can accomplish this?
    Thanks.

    Until Windows 7, it was possible to use two identical PCs with same clone. Provided, both the PCs must be legally licensed to use the Windows operating system (version as well as edition) and of same OEM, model and spec. This is possible because, the product
    keys are common for all the PCs of same OEM build (if preinstalled, and the installed product key is different from the one mentioned in COA). This made OEM builders to distribute to more PCs than the license agreement, which is impossible for Microsoft to
    find out. To solve this issue, Microsoft changed the licensing structure from Windows 8 - embedding the product key in BIOS. So, here, only the installation is provided and the product keys are not common for all the PCs even if they are of the same OEM build.
    Therefore, cloning fails here. And naturally, as Team Zigzag and EC Ltd say, same product key can't be used for more than one PC.
    As to restore the PC in case of an emergency, you can perform a backup of the existing installed software and user files, which can be restored later (File History in Windows 8). The following links may be helpful:

  • How can I have iTunes read my music library from an external hard drive?

    I am trying to use an external hard drive with more memory to store my iTunes music and movie library.  How can I get iTunes to read this external hard drive?

    Move the library to the external drive in its entirety.
    Then in Perferences > Advanced for iTunes in the box labelediTunes Media foler location point iTunes to the location of the library on the external drive.

  • Can I burn bigger-than-DVD image onto hard drive and run it off hard drive?

    I'm trying to create a DVD Kiosk of sorts. I have a series of instructional videos we have created--I would like it to play a video from the menu randomly if left alone for a period of time, and if someone moves the mouse, they will be given the DVD menu from which they can select one of the videos. This will take a lot of script writing, of course, and I also have more videos than will fit on one DVD.
    *What I need to know is: Will Final Cut let me burn a disc image that's bigger than 4.7GB onto my hard drive so that I can just run this directly from a Mac Mini? If not directly possible when saving it, is there a work around?*
    Additionally, if anyone has any wisdom or knows of any resources that would assist in writing such a script, that's also welcome.
    Thanks for your help.

    The short answer is yes. You don't need (or want) a disc image. You want just the folders from the build (AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS). You will get warnings but it will do it. You can also set up DVDSP to make a DVD-9 disc so you can get an idea of the project's size as you work and not get the warnings.
    Within DVD authoring there is no way to recognize a mouse movement, but you could have an overlay that says GO to Menu on these random playing clips. Now to do this without doubling the assets for the motion clips (one with/one without overlay) you need to right a script that controls when the overlay shows. From menu timeout overlay on. From user action overlay off.
    btw its not Final Cut that will make the image but DVD Studio Pro.

  • How can I import my library that is saved on a  external hard drive but it's not saved on the iTunes media folder?

    I need to restore my computer to it's factory settings but I don't want to loose my playlists and my library (windows). I can copy any file from the computer because it's in good working order. All my music it's on a external hard drive, but there's lots of media files that I don't want to sync but need to keep! Any way to do that!?
    Best Regards

    I think that I didn't explain my self correctly, My iTunes media it's not consolidated. May I consolidate the media on a external drive (X:\). ?
    Yes. But consolidate to X:\iTunes\iTunes Media.
    The why I'm asking is because the music library (176gb) is way more than the computer drive (C:\). Remember that all the media is on a external hard drive (J:\)
    The steps I gave earlier will work to copy the whole library onto the new drive, in the correct layout for future ease of use.

  • Why can't iTunes play music from read-only external hard drive?

    I have a write-protected external hard-drive which I keep all of my iTunes media on. iTunes recognizes all of the files, including the metadata on the id3 tags, and can find the files in Windows Explorer. However, it cannot play the files while the drive remains write-protected. Is there a work around for this as I would prefer to keep the hard-drive protected? Why does iTunes require write-access to play songs? Other media players have no problem playing from my read-only external hard-drive. Thanks for any help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you say you can't play through both devices at the same time, what happens when you try, are you able to select multiple speakers, do they deselect themselves, do you not get the option or does it just not work when you select multiple speakers.

  • Can I have more than one e-mail address attached to my apple account?

    I can't seem to create different FaceTime accounts using different e-mail addresses but with 1 Apple account. My daughter's IPod is attached to my Apple account, but I want to use her e-mail address for her FaceTime app. Any thoughts?

    how do i sign up for a new e-mail address @icloud or @me; and can I have more than one e-mail address?
    You create an @icloud.com address in the first place by signing into Settings>iCloud with your Apple ID and choosing an addres - you can only create an @icloud.com address, not @me.com.
    Then if you want further addresses on the same account you can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
