Is there a way to sync mail across multiple computers without using .mac?

I'd like to be able to use either of my machines to check/respond to email, and have both of them be updated with both incoming messages and my replies. Is this possible outside of using a .mac account?
I'm using 10.4.6 and also the latest version of Mail.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
peace,
rahlo

Yes, there are several people that have published the steps to set up your own .Mac service by reverse engineering the protocol and rolling their own server to provide web services to emulate .Mac.
If you are looking for a hobby, I would encourage you to try it. Assuming you are sophisticated enough to google it and find some steps you can use, it should not be that hard to set up.
Please note - I haven't looked over the licenses for all of the software involved (Mac OS and .Mac) - you might be in violation of your license term by reverse engineering parts of the system or violating copyright/patents. As long as you don't go into business or diverting income from Apple - you may well be fine by learning how they did things.
P.S. I assume you mean syncing the mail settings, not the actual contents of the mail box.

Syncing ical across multiple computers without .mac

Hi,
Is it possible to sync ical calendars across multiple computers in the same network or over the internet without .Mac? If I have a website or ftp server, can I use that instead to synce over the internet or is there an easier way? Thanks.

This is another related question.
Having at last extracted a decade of diaries from Palm Desktop as vCal (since you ask I had to go back to Classic as the app quit without writing the export file in Tiger and Leopard, even tho it is otherwise OK) I now have something I can import rather messily into iCal.
However as I have really bad internet access in the Boondocks where I live I don't want to use .Mac to sync between my iMac and iBook. Palm ran very happily from a thumb drive, but I don't see how I can do it as the powers that be seem to have made the data file invisible.
I'd like to move it to the thumb drive and have an alias on each Mac where the data should be - as I do with Palm.
Does anyone know the path, and if there is a problem doing it between Tiger and Leopard?
Cheers, Colin

If you aren't going to live that long maybe you should give up with computers and start enjoying the few remaining hours.

Is there any way of syncing mail on mac with mail on iphone so if you open an email on one it is marked as read on the other?

The title speaks for itself. It's very anoying opening a message on the iphone and when you get to the mac all the messages you read allready on the iphone are not opened yet. Is there any way of syncing them so if you open a mail in iphone its marked 'read' in mac?
Thanks in advance

Such behavior requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Sounds like you have a POP account & that's the way that POP accounts work. POP was designed for an age when users had only one device...a computer, thus POP doesn't play well in the modern world where users have multiple devices.

Is there a way to put a pdf on newsstand without using iBook?

I have some travel pdfs that i'd like to access on my iPhone 4. Is there a way to put them directly onto newsstand, without having to download iBooks (and use up valuable space)?
Thanks!

Get a free online storage account (box.net, dropbox, sugarsync, google drive or whichever of the dozens of free offerings you like - I use box.net most of the time and it works well). Then, put your PDF files up on the cloud storage account and only download the one or ones you need at any given time. You can limit your transfers to only when you have a free wifi hotspot available. That will minimize how much space you need to use for PDF document storage.
As others mentioned, you have to load a PDF into an app to even see it - iBook if you like, or any of the dozens of PDF reader and editing apps available in the app store (Adobe Reader is available there, and is free).

Is there any way to sync apps from different computers in one ipod touch?

Hi
So, I have synced my iPod touch with iTunes in my mac and now I want to install some applications that my brother has in his computer.
*Is there any way I can sync applications in my iPod touch using different computers, without losing the apps that are already installed in the device?*
Thanks a bunch for your help!
Best,
Ezequiel

Wow, that was fast! thanks!
So, if I do that, I'll transfer all the apps from the iPod to my brother's computer and then I'll just need to sync everything back to my iPod... and I'll also need to do the same thing with my mac, in order not to lose the apps that I copied from my brother's pc, right?

Is there a way to adjust volume across multiple clips or entire movie?

I am editing a lot of movies flying in ultralights. I want to keep the noise of the engine in the background, but I would like to lower the volume across the entire video. When there are 30+ clips it's very tedious to do one at a time when what I would like to do is apply the fix to the whole video. Is there a way?

Open tools and go to Audio Mixer.

Is there a way to port director movies as apps without using x code?

I have many years of experience with Director, but no experience with C++ or Xcode. As I understand it, there is a long, steep learning curve on X without a good foundation in C++. Is there a way around using it? Does it require a lot of
Xcoding, or just an interface, etc.?
Thanks.

Linked files broken in Photoshop CC 2014 when working in the cloud across multiple computers (PC and Mac)

I'm using the new linked file option in Photoshop CC 2014, which is great. I'm working with my files in the cloud, however because I'm working on both a PC and Mac it breaks them links every time I save the file. Is there a way around this?

Hi, yes I'm having the same issue. The problem is that Adobe is not correctly connecting the linked files. They are using absolute paths user/folder/folder this is just crazy and I hope they fix this.
Changing this will fix our issue.
I'm a professional web designer and I find the use of linked items really good. My workflow consists of creating a UI folder with different elements linked into photoshop documents saved in another folder.
UI - elements
Front page folder
Second page folder
etc.
Moving these folders is impossible. Making my life really hard.
Moving them to a network drive doesn't seem an option when you need to link all the files again, for each doc.
Adobe kudos on the idea now fix the paths so this is usable across computers.

Best Way to Sync Lists Across Multiple Site Collections?

A quick query I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with...
Within our university intranet I am assigning each department a team site within its own Site Collection. So that departments can associate Document Library files with a set list of academic courses, I created a custom dropdown field and deployed it as a Feature. While this worked within SharePoint, when you attempted to set the document properties within the Microsoft Word environment the custom fields were rendered as empty text boxes (meaning that staff are no longer restricted in when information they can enter).
To get around this I'm considering going back-to-basics and creating a Custom List, populating it with the titles of our academic courses, and then assigning it to a Document Library via a Lookup Field. I know that Microsoft Word will then correctly display the metadata dropdown.
As I am using multiple Site Collections, I'm unsure of the "best" way to proceed.
I've already written a Console Application which can create a Custom List within a targetted site and populate it with the contents of an XML file - but I would need to run this every time I created a new Site Collection and what would I do when I wanted to update the contents of all the lists?
Other than modifying my Console Application to loop through all instances of the Custom List within Site Collections and sync it to the contents of the XML file, is there another (better) option that I am over-looking?
Its such a shame I can't create cross-collection Lookup Fields within all of the Site Collections that point to a single top-level list.
Many thanks.

My instinctive questions drifts towards why you have different site collections. If all the sites were sub sites within the same site collection, a global field would solve the issue quite nicely.
If you have legitimate reasons for keeping the sites seperated into separate site collections, I would look at using an Event Handler to trigger updates to reference values in each site collection, be they global fields or lists. Then if you wish to update the values, you only need to update the trigger list to propagate the updates across your site sollections to all your sites in question.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Is there a way to get photos into iMovie 11 without using iPhoto?

I use PSE9 to organize my photos and don't want to use iPhoto. When I click on the little camera in iMovie, it only gives me the option of going to iPhoto. Thanks for any help.
Peg

If you can access your photos from a Finder window, You can drag and drop them into an iMovie Project from there. Just make sure they are in a stable place, because if you move them later, iMovie will not know where to find them.

My iphone 4 is locked, is there any way to reset it to factory settings without using a pc? see the details first please

so, i know that there are many questions about a locked iphone, but my case is quite different, i think.
i just happened to change my passcode this morning before fasting (i'm fasting) and then i left it charged while i went to sleep. stupidly, i didnt write down the new passcode and after a good sleeping, it seemed i've lost my good memory about the passcode and i cant get closer to what it is. ive erased my phone through find my iphone, but i have no idea how to use the phone brand-new because the phone isnt connected to any internet connection (my connection is a bit obstructed here so its really difficult for me, hence my country), so it seems i cant enter the setup assistant. ive tried to enter recovery mode with itunes on my pc, but my itunes is not the latest version (it's still 11.1.xxx), so my itunes didnt detect any iphone in recovery mode but instead always ask for new software update for the device. i cant update my itunes due my connection problems. si im stuck with remembering what's the passcode until now. i dont care if i have to lose all of my data, as far as i can use my phone again, i just can re-isntall all the apps later. so please can anyone help me? im so desperate. thanks.

If you've erased your phone through Find My iPhone, you've erased the saved WiFi passwords along with everything else.

Sync data across multiple clients

I am create an application in flex that pulls and pushes data to a MySQL database. This program will have multiple clients logged in at the same time. I am wondering what the best way to ensure that the data is accurately updated across all of the clients would be.

Can you explain what you mean exactly by sockets?
Is there any way to Sync data across multiple clients without the crazy expensive cost of LCDS?

You can also use a 4 finger up gesture. The app (or the Dock on the Home page) will lift revealing all open apps. You can then tap the app you want and go directly there.
This short video shows you how to use the gestures.

Sync books across multiple iPads & accounts

Hey everyone,
I've got what is probably not that an unusual question. My company has a resource of PDF documents we want to be able to sync across multiple iPads. It's ok with the ones we own as we control the accounts but we have staff with their own iPads who want access to the documents through iBooks. I know there are workarounds like e-mailing them or using dropbox but we're talking upwards of 100 documents. Is there a way to sync a library like that without deleting the books the preson has purchased?
Thanks in advance

Interesting, never knew there was an iCloud website. Ironically, it wouldn't open in Safari (just got a spinning progress wheel), but it opened up fine in Chrome. :/
So, I logged into iCloud under my wife's Apple ID, clicked on the calendar icon, then clicked on those icons to the right of the two calendars shown (Home and Work), selected Private Calendar, and added my email address which is linked to my Apple ID. I hoped that would do the trick to allow me to see her calendar entries in iCal in my account, but it didn't.
Am I correct that the process outlined above should display my wife's entries onto my iCal calendar? Or do I need to go view her calendar online somewhere instead of seeing the entries on my own iCal calendar?
