Is it possible to use an .mac alias as your primary account in Mail?

We currently have 2 Macs in sync via .Mac; My wifes G5 and my PBook. I am purchasing a 12inch PBook for my daughters 12th B-Day. I would like for her to have access to Mail via her alias email account only. BUT, I do not want her to see the primary acct that my wife and I use. So I guess the question is, Is it possible to have an alias for a primary account on a third computer?
Thanks

JCCR510, welcome to the forum.
The mSATA drive in the computer can only be used as cache and not as a boot drive.  This is the way that HP has it setup.
You certainly can buy a SATA SSD and install it.  As you can see in my signature below, I have Samsung EVO 840 SSD in my 810-135qe.  It works great.

  • Is it possible to use a Mac with an embroidery sewing machine?

    Is it possible to use a Mac with an embroidery sewing machine?

    Computer support for that type of equipment is completely up to the company making/selling the embroidery software, not the computer builder. A Mac likely could support any such device BUT the device makers must choose to include Mac software versions. Many specialty software developers are about 15 yeas in the past and thing no one uses Macs, or they are doing the project on a shoestring budget and would have to hire someone on the outside to port the program to Mac.
    As that function is likely of very narrow interest around here, I think you would do better to visit some of the embroidery sites and see if they mention products with known Mac support.
    Otherwise you will have to find the sites for every embroidery machine maker to look for mention of Mac support.

    Is it possible to use different iOS devices with the same account of the gamecenter? in that case, can two people play a game with the same account and add both scores to the same leaderboard nickname?

    You should be able to use the same account. The top scores will get updated on the leader board.

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

    Sorry, yes indeed you can do that, I thought you wanted to keep the accounts the way they are now and also share photo stream between all devices, which of course is not possible.
    In order to login to the account you are currently logged in to as a secondary account, as a primary account, and vice versa, you will need to delete both accounts from that device and then log back into them with the correct account as a primary (settings > iCloud) and the correct account as a secondary (settings > mail, contacts, calendars).

  • Using .mac alias as an iChat account name

    Hi,
    I'm a full .mac member.
    Thus, I am able to create aliases (e.g. [email protected]).
    I'd like to use this alias as an iChat account name (so I can have two iChat accounts : one personal, one professional).
    Is this possible ?
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    Tibo

    HI TiboDeParis,
    Nope.
    Screen names have to be full names or Trial accounts.
    Trial accounts work after the 60 days are up.
    The other option is of course an AIM screen name.

  • How to use a .Mac alias in the outgoing address field from iPhone?

    I do not want my .Mac Apple ID showing up in the outgoing address field from my iPhone. I want to use an alias instead, just like I use in Mail. How can I use the same alias in iPhone?
    The iPhone has been great once I finally got it activated...no problems synching from Outlook on my PC and Address Book and iCal on my Mac. Now all of my PC and Mac data are finally merged on my iPhone and on both computers...wish I would have saved the money I spent on two versions of MissingSync! Looking forward to some software updates...
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   iPhone

    If you want to setup a different REPLY TO, you have to use the OTHER shortcut when creating the mail account on the iPhone. It allows you to specify an address in the Account Information box different from your incoming and outgoing server login IDs.

  • Possibility to use new Mac mini with an USB-DAC?

    Anybody knowing anything about the possibility to use the new Mac mini with an USB-DAC. My reason for the question is that I've heard that USB3 doesn't handle sound. I'm thinking about to buy a mac mini and use it as an HTPC and signalsource together with NAIM DAC-V1.
    // Rode orm

    What I have heard that there are a few USB2 audio devices that
    have had some issues with USB3, but USB3 itself is supposedly
    backward compatible to USB2.
    I would check with the makers of the DAC to see if there are any
    USB3 issues.

  • Is it possible to use a camera phone as your webcam?

    I have a Nokia N73 camera phone is it possible to set it up to use it as my camera for iChat?

    My reply would be .....
    It will depend on the type of Output the camera has.
    It may just be possible to use the iChatUSBCam Utility http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/ which does have a trial period.
    As the camera is unlikely to have Mac Drivers it is less likely.
    Although iChat may see it as being Self contained like a Camcorder and the format will be the key if the input is over USB.

  • HT1420 Possibility to use 1 Computer - configured with 2 user accounts - each account uses a different Apple-ID for iTunes authorization ?

    I wonder if it is possible to use 1 Computer (Macbook Pro)
    - configured with 2 (ore even more) user accounts (i.e. me + my kid)
    - and each user account has a different Apple-ID (account) for iTunes purchases & iTunes authorization ?
    I woud think that is fine in terms of the underlying license agreement refereing to re-download purchased movies, shows, apps, etc.
    However, it seams that there is that miraculous 90 days restriction, which I don't understand, and which allows me only to "authorise" the Computer under one or the other account. The switch is unfortunatelly only possible every 90 days ?!?
    Thanks anybody for help
    Oliver

    The 90 day association doesn't stop you authorising an account, it only stops you from using another account for iTunes Match or automatic downloads or redownloading its past purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    There are a few methods listed on this page for how you could do it e.g. multiple user acounts, same iTunes but you having separate playlists, separate iTunes libraries : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

  • Is it possible to use an mSata drive as the primary drive?

    Greeting everyone,
    I recently bought an HP ENVY Phoenix 810 whiich comes with the MS-7826 (Kaili) motherboard which has an mSata slot with a 16gb msata ssd in it, but it's only being used as a cache. So my question is, is it possible to use the mSata drive as as the main bootable drive along with 3 other hard drives? I'm planning to install a 256 msata ssd along with 3 4tb hd, but want to use the msata as the main one. Is it possible, if so how?
    I've come across a few forums where they were having problems with the same thing where they were able to use it as the main drive but as soon as they installed the original bootable drive they system will not boot since the drive didn't have an operating system installed in it and it wont boot from the mSata even though the os was installed onto the mSata. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I use an i-pad and my primary account email is aol.  Is there a way to import my aol address book onto my ipad "contacts?"

    I am using an ipad and the primary account email is aol.  Is there a way to import my aol address book onto my ipad "contacts" app?

    Oops, I found the answer to my question. Great knowledge base! I had originally imported via the automatic popup dialog box that appeared when I installed TB, and didn't absorb at the time that there would be a way to do an import later, after TB install, too, and even for specific parts of OE (address book vs. mail messages, etc.).
    I pasted the link to the "Migrate to Thunderbird" page that includes how to migrate just an Address Book from OE, but the following is all that pastes in: 9723729938
    I have typed out the link here:

  • Can you use an .mac alias as "from" email address in .mac account?

    My .mac account is in my full name @.mac and MAIL automatically uses that as the "from" email address when i send mail. Is there any way to use one of my .mac aliases instead?

    For the email account preferences for any email account, there is a Name field which you can enter anything to appear as your name when sending a message with the account and there is an email address field for the same. With a .Mac account, you cannot enter a different email address to appear as the sending email address for a message sent by the account.
    You can send messages from your .Mac account alias email address but the name you have entered for the Name field under the Account Information for your .Mac account preferences will be the name shown with the alias email address when sending a message with the alias.

  • Is it possible to use multiple macs/iphones/ipads with single apple tv for an exhibition?

    Hellow everyone,
    Wondering if some genius out there can help me come up with a solution, or whether this is just too pie in the sky!!
    So, I'm exhibiting at a huge conference at the end of the month and want the following set up:
    MacBook Pro Retina showing a video loop through AirPlay Mirroring
    MacBook Pro showing exmaples of my work in safari photoshop etc through AirPlay Mirroring
    iPhone (4s with iOS7) to show examples of my work in safari through AirPlay Mirroring
    iPad (iPad 2 with iOS7) to show examples of my work in safair through AirPlay Mirroring
    So, basically I want the video loop to play constantly and act as a screensaver almost, then when the sitution dictates I can quickly switch what is being shown on the AppleTV to whichever device I am at.
    As an example, the video loop is happily playing. Someone comes up to me and wants to talk about responsive web design. I whip out my iPad and load up an example site in safari. if I turn on my AirPlay Mirroring, great the AppleTV will update and show what is on my iPad. Great, but what about when I've finished with this person. I turn AirPlay Mirroring off on my iPad and the ApplTV goes back to the main menu because it has kicked out my MacBook Pro. Imagine this scenairo happening time and itme again.
    The question is, is there anyway of making some kind of heirachy where my MacBook Pro with the video is the default source, then the Apple switches depending on what is selected, then reverts back to the MacBook Pro??
    Or, is there a neat little app that I can run from another iphone (almost using is as a remote) to select which source the Apple TV shows and all the devices are constantly running AirDisplay?
    Possibly asking a bit too much here, but it would be amazing if I could get some form of solution that allows me to use minimum wires and no fidly changing channels on the tv with a remote!!
    Many thanks in advance!
    David

  • Is it possible to use the Mac mini as the start up disk with an older iMac (the basketball with moveable screen) as the monitor?

    I really, really love the moveable screen to our old desktop iMac, and would hate to lose that feature, but, let's face it, it isn't Intel.  Since you can use other hard drives as start-up disks, would it be possible to do so in this instance? and how difficult would it be?

    A slim chance, only if the new Mini was running a Universal version of 10.5.x, which the newest ones cannot.
    But, you could display & run the Mini on the old iMacs screen with Screen Sharing on the Mini, & the iMac using Chicken of the VNC...
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/files/cotvnc/Chicken%20of%20the%20VNC%202 .0b4/cotvnc-20b4.dmg/download
    Assuming the iMac is running an OSX version the CoVNC can use.
