CCC can also custom schedule and save the changes between cloned states for backup just like TimeMachine does or choose the strict mirrored clone option or even choose highly custom options in what gets saved to the clone and how.
Yes, it can, but since CCC and other cloning apps always compare everything on the Mac to everything on the backup, it takes far longer, and much more CPU, to figure out what needs to be backed-up, than Time Machine (which uses the File System Event Store, a log of changes that OSX keeps on each drive). That means it's rarely practical to run a clone more than once a day, as there's a noticeable performance impact; but TM's quick backups are barely noticeable.
As an example, the TM backups on my small system rarely take more than a minute, and I rarely notice them unless I happen to see the icon spinning. But I have my CCC clone updated early each morning (while I'm still snoozing), because it takes 10-15 minutes and slows performance considerably.
So it has the best of both uses now, and the clone is bootable like using the original drive, which TimeMachine lacks as it's only a backup system.
Absolutely. I always recommend Time Machine plus a clone (minimum).
Also clones can be directly accessed, like any other normal drive, by any computer of any operating system that can read the HFS+ format of the Mac, unlike TimeMachine which only works with a Mac. This is beneficial as one can choose to use a Win or Linux PC with their Mac files in times of crisses, to transfer them etc.
That's a two-edged sword, as they say. Time Machine backups are somewhat more secure because only Macs can read them. But again, if you have both TM and a frequently-updated clone, you have the advantages of each.
Don't make me write a TimeMachine vs clones smackdown

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

Is there any way to identify the particular socket connection is closed ?

Is there any way to identify the particular socket connection is closed or not ?
Any methods ???
How can the program knows the connection is lost or some thing ...
Is the socket throws some excpetions when there is no active connection ???
namanc

If you get an IOException when you try to use the socket, the connection was obviously closed.
The correct way for an application to know if the socket was closed is:
1) the server sends a message indicating that the socket should be closed
2) the client closes the socket itself

Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

IIRC, OPTION-click on the Apple icon on the menu bar and select either Restart or Shutdown. Alternatively,
Control-Command-Eject
Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then restart the computer
Control Option-Command-Eject
Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then shut down the computer

If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Is there a way to download whole albums with full size photos from picasa to iPhoto without doing it one by one?

A number of people have sent me albums of photos in picasa. There doesn't seem to be a way to import the entire album into iphoto other than doing each photo one by one. Also, when I do each photo, it doesn't appear that I can copy it into a full size photo.
These are all albums with hundreds of photos. I think in the old iphoto you could subscribe to an RSS feed to get the whole album into iphoto but I am not sure you can do this anymore. Can you?
And if not, is there a way to copy whole albums in? It would be so time consuming to do them one by one!
I am using iphoto 9.5.1

You need to
1. Download the images to a folder on the desktop.
It may be possible to download an entire album at a time, but that's a question for a Picasa forum
2. Then import the folder to iPhoto.

In Firefox 10, is there a way to add two "Open a new tab" buttons like in Firefox 3.6?

In Firefox 10, is there a way to add two "Open a new tab" buttons like in Firefox 3.6?

This UI change is really stupid and useless. People got used to some specified menu items order. Changing this order could only annoy and anger.
Also the reload button has been relocated. This is another example of stupid Firefox 4 UI change. The good news is that it could easily be relocated to its original place.
It looks like the Firefox developers are suffering from idleness and boredom.
CHANGE IT BACK ASAP!!!

when i Add a anchor point, without converting it?
i like to be automatic just like in photoshop pentool.

1. Path with straight segment selected.
2. PenTool: click the segment to add the anchorPoint. If the straight segment has no handles extended, the added anchorPoint will be a corner point. The added anchorPoint is selected.
3. Click the Convert To Smooth button in the Control Panel. The anchorPoint is converted to Smooth and its handles are auto-extended.
OR
3. Press Alt to invoke the convert tool. ClickDrag the just-added AnchorPoint to drag out both its handles to the length desired. If SmartGuides is on, the handles will snap to the segment.
If a segment is straight and has no extended handles, clicking the segment with the Pen tool adds a corner AnchorPoint with no handles extended.
If a segment is straight and has either of its handles extended, clicking the segment with the Pen tool adds a Smooth AnchorPoint with both handles extended.

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

Is there a way to set an email mailbox so that mail from many months are stored, but the general default for the other mailboxes is a few days?

Is there a way to set an email mailbox so that mail from many months are stored, but the general default for the other mailboxes is a few days?

The only thing I can think of is to set the number of days to sync messages, shown below. But I'm not sure if this is what you're after. If it is go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars select the email account you wish to change.
This will then only sync emails from the last week for example. In the screenshot all email messages would be synced to the iPhone.

Is there ANY way to "drop" several videos or pictures at once (like an entire folder) instead of painstakingly dropping/dragging one image at a time? I just opened my Adope Premiere Elements 9 and after "working with" for 9 hours, I can't figure it out! Is there a singular CLEAR guide or video out there that teaches newbies like me how to do BASICS like this? Extremely exasperated. On verge of returning to my Windows Live Movie Maker but you all likely know how frustrating THAT is.... Please help me.

How long have you been working with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and on what computer operating system?
Take a look at the Premiere Elements 9 Help PDF for starter before you invest in books and such.
http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/premiereelements/9/premiereelements_9_help.pdf
On to the immediate issue....
When you "Get Media" Files and Folders, be aware that you can import folders with the format supported photos/videos inside.
Then go immediately to Organize header/ and Project in row below and click on Project.
You should see your folder there.
a. You can drag it to the Timeline and have your photos/videos open on the Timeline
b. You can manage folder opening and closing with the icons at the bottom left of the Project area where you see
your imported files.
If you are at the point where you already have your Project area loaded with lots of individual imports, you can create folders
there and drag your photos/videos into different folders. But, we aware that you can drag folder or individual files
from Project onto the Timeline.
Does any of the above help? If so, I will know I am going in the right direction for what you want to know.
What is with the painstakingly dropping/dragging one image at a time? Just how many images are in this project?
We are glad for the opportunity to help.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

On a map, is there a way to highlight a particular area?

In using Adobe Acrobat, is there a way to highlight a particular area on on map in a different color?

One thing you can try is the polygon markup tool (Comment > Drawing Markups) to define the area. You can set the fill color to the highlight color you want and then decrease the transparency value to something like 50%.

Is there a way I can delete my primary @me email address so that I can receive emails only via my "reserved" @icloud address. eg. delete "msjones@me" and receive emails via "msjones@icloud" only.The reason being, I receive a fair bit of spam to my @me address. Going forward I plan on using an alias for certain websites to minimise this problem.

You can't delete the address, but you can set up a Rule to move messages to that address to the Trash or another folder. Go to http://icloud.com and go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Rules'.
It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - even though in fact you haven't posted them in full; I've asked the hosts to remove them.
