  • Is there a way to send an e-mail to everyone in my address book WITHOUT typing/selecting each address in individually?

    My old e-mail address is going to be discontinued and I need to notify everyone in my Mozilla Thunderbird address book. Is there a way to send an e-mail to everyone in my address book WITHOUT typing/selecting each address in individually?

    Bonjour zmerill
    Yes it is possible and simple to do.
    - In the compose window of TB, display the address books on the left
    - select the adress book you want
    - select normally the first contact (left click)
    - while pressing a shift key, select the last contact (--> all selected)
    - just under the last contact, use the button you want.
    In an address book it is also possible to create a mailing list.

  • I have a quick filter but cannot dispay all incoming emails, only those from my address book. Help

    I was trying to add a junk filter. Now I have a quick filter with options for unread, starred, only messages from address book, tags, attachments.
    If I turn the quick filter off, I only get unread messages.
    If I turn the quick filter on, I can get all messages from my address book (read and unread) but no mail from others.
    I want all incoming email displayed I have no option to do this. What should I do???

    Are you saying nothing changes if you toggle the buttons in the QuickFilter for Unread, Contacts etc?

  • Is there a way to filter apps that are only available for your current version of ios

    I have the first generation iphone. It still works pefectly and I would like to give it to my 1yo son, so that he can play around with it. It has latest supported ios 3.1.3. I went to the apple store to find some kid friendly apps for the device, only to find out that almost ever app requires a version of ios higher than 3.1.3. I understand that this is the limitation of old hardware. I just wish that there was a way for me to only see apps that would still work on my device. Currently, I have to click on the app, then start the download, only to get a message that says that I need ios > 3.1.3. I can also imagine that there are a lot of people out there who don't know the ios limits per device. Wouldn't it be better if the message read, "this app requires ios 4.3 which is supported on iphone 3 or higher" or even simpler "this app is not supported on your device. It is supported on iphone 3 or better". But the ios filter would go a really long way.
    Thanks

  • I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update.  Is there any feature or sedtting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to FaceTime without going to the carrier?

    After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
    I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
    I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
    I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

  • No way to filter incoming calls, right?

    Thanks for looking. I did a search and can't find any info.
    Well, it may be a while before Apple allows 3rd party apps on the phone so does anyone know if, today, there is a way to filter incoming calls, i.e.,
    "Blocked - Unknown" etc.... ?
    Thank you again.
    Tom

    It has been confirmed in other threads to this forum that there is no way to block calls on the 'incoming' side of the equation.
    Only blocking capability is when you are doing the calling.
    This has been confirmed with AT&T.

  • What can be wrong with my iPhone 4?  There is no sound from incoming calls, SMS and even when I play music.  I already checked that it's not muted, volume is high and not set to "vibrate mode."

  • Is there a way to restrict opening a PDF to one computer (PC or Mac)?

    Is there a way to restrict opening a PDF to one computer (PC or Mac)?
    I'm not sure how it would be done. Encoding of current IP number or logicboard serial number? Any ideas?
    The PDF publication is a trade-sensitive document that is expensive and the publishing company would like to restrict it's use to one computer. (Passwords can be passed around.)

    Do this:
    - iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    - Then import into your new computer
    - Copy any synced photos to the new computer
    - Backup the ipd to the new computer
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The link directly above says how.

    Is there a way to restrict changing the browsing history in safari with ought restricting the entire application?

    For the iPod touch in your profile?
    Private browsing help here >  iOS:  Safari web settings
    For Safari for Mac OS X ...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Private Browsing
    You can only block all history in Private Browsing, pages you visit, and autofill.

  • 2 questions, 1 I tried to download developer preview 2, and it did not complete and now I cant redeem again.  Is there a way to fix without calling the 800

    2 questions, 1 I tried to download developer preview 2, and it did not complete and now I cant redeem again.  Is there a way to fix without calling the 800, 2 if i put all itunes in the cloud do i have to store it on my machine still, can i delete movies etc, on hard drive

    If you mean the Developer preview of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion you need to be posting this to the appropriate developer forum or AppleSeed forum. We can't help you with software that hasn't been released.
    Your second question seems to be related to iTunes Match, yes? Try posting it in that forum.

  • Is there a way that I can call a Swing application

    Hi all,
    Is there a way that I can call a Swing application from html page.
    fox example when user clicks on the url in html will activate a swing local application
    thanks

    Assuming the local swing application is running, and you have an applet in the browser that has permissions to communicate with a server other than the originating server, you could use RMI or a regular socket connection.
    Due to the obvious security issues to letting javascript or an applet free access to the local machine, this is not something that a browser really supports.

  • Is there a way to restrict "mature" apps from app store?

    Is there a way to restrict "mature" apps from the app store? We are not purchasing or downloading these apps, but when you just search through available apps there are some pretty mature ones available, and some have pretty explicit photos in the "previews". I have changed all the settings I can find in itunes and on my iphone, but as far as I can tell this just applies to what we download. And let me reiterate that these "mature" apps show up even though we're not specifically looking for them (I'm sure you've seen them, all the bikini girls, lingerie, and karma sutra apps in the "fitness" section of the apps store, etc.) These are usually categorized as 17+, so why are they even showing up if my security settings restrict content to 12+ ? I'm assuming there is no way to restrict them, but let me put it out there that it would be much appreciated if there were a way (any apple employees listening???)

  • HT201304 Is there a way to restrict user access to find my ipad with out restricting the mail app?

    I am working on setting up multiple Ipad 2 tablets with iOS 5.1.1 and I need to restrict access to turn off find my ipad. The only way I see to do this is to turn on restrictions and dont allow changes on accounts. The issue I have then is it also restricts the Mail app setup. Is there a way to restrict one and not the other? We use microsoft exchange mail and I would be willing to use another mail app if anyone can suggest one that works as an alternative?
    Thank you.

    I don't know of any reliable tracking app, but perhaps someone else here can suggest one I'm not aware of. Any could be defeated by just restoring the iPad, though, so about all you could hope to do would be make things a bit more difficult to turn off. For a third-party app, you'd have to restrict the user's ability to uninstall apps, something which might be equally problematic for you.
    Regards.
