Is there a way to have iCloud NOT sync rules in Mountain Lion Mail?

My wife and I each have our own MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion and we share an iPad on iOS 6. We use OS X Mail as our mail client for our accounts on our ISP mail service.  We have iCloud enabled on all three devices but we have Mail disabled on all three.
Every time either of us makes a change to a Mail rule on our MacBook, it is pushed to the other MacBook.  But we need different rules since we have multiple mail accounts and have different interests in each of them.  I finally noticed by clicking the little ? icon in the rules window that the rules are synced if you have Documents and Data selected in iCloud NOT Mail.  We also use iWork on all three devices so we want Documents and Data enabled for sharing documents between the devices.
So is there a way to keep from screwing up each other's Mail rules without losing access to our iWork documents???  The only thing we have come up with is prefacing every rule name with our initials so for example my rule can file a message and hers can move it to Trash. But this is also a pain since you cannot sort the rules by name in the rules window.

Hello Tom:
To my knowledge, no.

  • Is there a way to use icloud to sync different information (i.e. reminders) to my computer, but not have my husbands reminders synced to my phone under the same apple ID?

    Just recently updated to iOS 5 and love the icloud and it's updated features.  Only problem is that my husband and I share the same Apple account and now our info is getting synced to each others devices.  Is there a way to keep the auto syncing enabled, but to say that my stuff doesn't get synced to his phone and vice versa???

    Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Is there a way of persuading iCloud to sync the smart groups I have in address book on my Mac

    I have a small number of smart groups in address book on my iMac. but these do not sync through iCloud to my Macbook or iPod touch.  Everythin else syncs even ordinary groups, but not the smart groups.  Is there a way of persuading iCloud to do it?  I can fully sync my Macbook contacts by exporting an archive from the iMac and then comying and importing this to the Macbook.  But this is old technology.

  • Notes Sync Error with Mountain Lion

    Hi, I am having trouble syncing the blackberry memopad entries with the notes application on Mountain Lion. I believe this was a reported issue previously according to this:

    Has a resolution been found? Its quite annoying not have important notes synced to your machine...

  • Is there a way to have iMovie NOT blow up a small video size .mov?

    hi,
    I am animating an 8-bit flash video and basically, when all is said and done I want it to be maybe 200X200 dimensions in iMovie. (Its the latest version of iMovie)
    I export the .mov of the 200X200 video and when I import it into iMovie it just blows up the video to standard 640X480, or whatever they are. So obviously its blurry and distorted. I wanted to have a black screen around the small 200X200 .mov file. The reason being when watching the video it will be like looking at a Gameboy screen. Very small but clear detail.
    Is there a way I can make a small video dimension of 200X200 with black surrounding the dead space centered around the actual video?
    Or is it not going to work, in which case, can I somehow make my .mov file look clear and bright and colorful rather than dull and fuzzy when blown up?

    HI,
    Post in iMovie forum here.

  • Is there a way to have iCloud download both my and my wife's calendar on my iPhone and Mac?

    My wife and I both have iMacs and iphones with the right software. She also has an iPad. It would be very helpful if there were a way for iCloud to download and update both her and my calendars on all of our Apple products. Is there a way to do this?If this is too difficult, is there a way we can just get my calendar on her iPad and have iCloud update it?

    If you are both using the same iCloud account all your calendars will appear on all your devices.
    If you are using separate iCloud accounts each of you should share the required calendars privately so the other can subscribe. Please see this page:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479
    and expand 'Share a private calendar or reminder list with specific people'.

  • Is there a way to have iCloud stream into a reference iPhoto library on Mac?

    I would like to use iColud to get photos from my iPhone onto my Mac. But, from what I have read, even if you set up your iPhoto library as a referenced library, iCloud imports photos directly into the library rather than storing them on disk as indiviudal and having iPhoto reference them like your other photos. Is this correct, and if so, is there any way around it?

  • Is there a way to have the address panel open automatically when opening Mail in Mavericks?

    Before upgrading to Mavericks, Mail panels such as the Address Panel would open if they were open last time quit the program. Now I can't see a way to have this happen. I have to manually open these.

    You can add the Address Panel to the toolbar for easy access. Personally, I just start typying and let Autofill enter the email address I want.

  • Is there a way to change the cursor hotspot systemwide on Mountain Lion?

    Hello community.
    Is there a way to change the cursor hotspot on Mountain Lion, systemwide?
    Like editing the original cursor file (or downloading one) and replacing the original one?
    Reason: when I enlarge the arrow, the "absoulute" tip (top of the white outline) gets distant from the internal tip (top of the black core), so sometimes the white outline needs to stick out if I want to click the approprate area - because the hotspot is on the internal tip. To me it's counter-intuitive. I would prefer to have the hotspot on the absolute edge of the cursor (tip of the white outline). This is not debatable - this is my private preference, and I've read today that it's not only mine - there is a number of users who want the same.
    I know it's always been like this on Macs, so please avoid questions like "why to you want that", answers like "get used to it" or any kind of hostility, for these are useless. The quiestion is how can I change it, if possible.
    Thanx guys!

    I don't know how you get to the System folder in Mavericks; and even if I found the folder with the alternative cursors in it, I would have no way of switching to any of them.  The designers have obviously not anticipated that anyone would wish to do this.
    The System Preferences has an adjustment under Accessibilty which allows the user to change the size of the cursor, but nothing else.
    So I guess that there is no way to make the change without actually re-engineering the System somehow.
    If someone can find a way, I will be most pleased to be enlightened; only please make the directions explicit.

  • Is there any way to disable the expanding scroll bars in Mountain Lion?

    Since I never scroll by dragging the scroll bars with the cursor, I find the expansion of the scroll bars to be a distracting and even productivity limiting feature. Is there any way to disable the expansion of the scroll bars (perhaps with a terminal command)? System Preferences doesn't have an option to switch this feature off as far as I'm concerned.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    No!

  • Is there any way to restart the bluetooth module without restarting Mountain Lion?

    Im using a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse. The sensitivity and responsiveness was excellent at first. However, after about 2 to 4 days of using the mouse, it becames jumpy and lags. I found out that it can be solved by restarting the machine. Is there any way of restarting only the bluetooth module but not the whole system? I've tried turning it off and on the preferences, but it didn't solve the jumpy problem. I've also read about resetting the PRAM/NVRAM and it clears up some problems, but according to the instructions given, it will reset the boot setting. So, I don't want to loose my bootcamp partition.
    Thanks.

    Hello:
    To my knowledge, no to your question.
    However, I would suggest you reset both the PRAM and SMC at least once.

  • Is there a way of locking a word document in ios mountain lion so that it cant be printed or changed?

    Is there a way of locking a word document in mountain lion so it cant be printed or changed?

    You can print because it's your document. Others shouldn't be able to. But then it's easy enough to unlock them altogether.
    Easiest is to get encryption software and just encrypt the document. Or create a small encrypted disc image with Disk Utility and store the document in the disc image.

  • IPad not syncing iWorks - using Mountain Lion

    All iWorks pgm syncs fine from iPad to iCloud and the other way. After a while iPad will not sync Keynote, Numbers, Pages and has to be turned off and on again Frustrating.

    All I can think of is that there's not a driver for the iPad yet. I even looked on microsoft's site, and all I could find was that there were some driver issues last year with Win 8 (although I've been running win 8 since last summer and haven't had any syncing issues)
    You've updated iTunes, reset iTunes, reset your iPad, swapped out cables, swapped out ports, removed the driver.
    The only other diagnostic thing I can think of is if you have someone else with an iPad, to try and sync theirs (don't really sync, just connect it)
    If hte computer sees theirs and not yours then there's something wrong with your iPad. If it doesn't see another iPad then it's something wrong with the computer.
    It's that or the version of iTunes for windows has issues with  Win 8.1. iTunes is only listed to be compatible with Win 8, so maybe the .1 is flummoxing it.

  • Is there a way to have iPhoto NOT use the Photo Library on the Main drive?

    I have thousands of pictures going waaay back to when iPhoto first came out. Most are on disc and on backup drives. I want to use the external drives to work from, within iPhoto. Is this possible?
    I just got a Mac Mini and since i have a lot of external drives(over 6TB, I'm a pro photographer) I didn't need the larger main drive. I like to use iPhoto for snapshots of my family and friends and quickie uploads for them.
    Thanks.

    sure
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Is there a way to have Safari not reload the page when moving back and forth?

    I really like being able to swipe back and forth in Safari, however when I do this, it reloads the page. Why? Can't it just used the cached content? I understand that my view my be 'outdated', but I could always manually refresh if I wanted to.
    The reason I want this is because when you swipe back, it takes a few seconds before you can actually scroll the page while you wait for it to load, which is annoying

    Might be a cache issue ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
