Is there a way to sync the spell dictionary used by Mail.app?

I can share the Mail.app rules and signatures via .Mac/iSync, but when I modify the dictionary that is used to spell-check the mail text, I have to do these modifications on all computers individually. It should be fairly simple to allow syncing of the dictionary that is used by Mail.app among the Macs via .Mac.
The system does not offer this feature, but is there a tool out there which does this job?

I think that cloud privacy concerns are overdone - especially with Apple who don't have a vested interest in snooping through your data like Google does!
Do you use email? It's stored in the cloud on the providers servers - no matter who the provider is.
Do you use SMS on a phone? They're stored on a server somewhere!
Do you use the internet? The logs are stored at your ISP for some period of time - tracking everywhere you've been.
Thats why I am comfortable to use iCloud for most of my documents. If I want to transfer files very securely, I put them in an encrypted disk image on Dropbox.
Cheers,

Is there a way to sync the Notes app on my iPod Touch with the Notes on my desktop without using iCloud

I've been reading some of the other threads about this issue, but most, if not all, suggest using iCloud. I'm wary of setting up an iCloud account because I've heard that "once your information is 'in the cloud' it can't be deleted", and I just don't know how true that is.
Is there a way to sync the two apps by some other means that bypasses "the cloud"?

I'm going to be using a borrowed computer, so don't want to make permanent changes to that FF. Is there a way to sync the FF settings and keep them on a thumb drive for temporary use?

Is there a way to sync the FF settings and keep them on a thumb drive for temporary use? I know you can try to copy the "default" folder in .mozilla, but that usually ends up a mess. The home computer runs on Linux, don't know what the borrowed one will be.

There's Portable Firefox for Windows - http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - and another for Macs - http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps/firefox/ - not for Linux, AFAIK.
Firefox Sync works thru a server, either Mozilla's sync server or a local sync server the user has running on their own LAN. There's no way to sync the data to a thumb drive unless it has a version of Firefox on that thumb drive.
You didn't mention which "settings" are involved, but you can export your Firefox bookmarks in HTML format to a thumb drive, and view that bookmarks.html file on any web browser on just about any operating system.
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks ''(or Organize Bookmarks for 3.6 and earlier versions)''-> Import & Backup - Export HTML...
For your other personal data in Firefox, there is no real solution outside of using Firefox.

Is there a way to sync the catalogues on both LR5 and LR6?

I have installed the desktop version of LR6. Now I have both LR6 and LR5 working. I could uninstall it... but in fact it would be great to be able to work on both, so is there a way to sync the catalogues on both?

Hi,
I already bought it, I was just thinking that since it synchronized my catalogue when I installed it, it might be possible to do it manually again. The idea being that if I'm inporting or exporting something tht takes a long time in LR6, I could carry on working on LR5 if the two were working together. Just a thought, sometimes I reall would like to work on more than one window at a time.... but it would probably mess things up, right? The alternative is just to uninstall LR5 once everything is working well?

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool? Help!

If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

HT5361 Is there a way to find and erase duplicate emails in mail.app?

Is there a way to find and erase duplicate emails in mail.app?

Mail.app does not have this possiblility acc. to Apple. There are Scripts but not provided by Apple.
A solution can be to use third party software but I prefer Apples own software so have to wait until there is an update.

Is there a way to sync the calendar on my iPhone to my friends calender on there iPhone?

Is there a way to sync my calender on my iPhone 5c with my friends calender on their iPhone 5c?

If you are both using iCloud, one of you can share their calendar(s) and the other can subscribe to them.

Is there a way to operate the command key using the mouse?

I am working with a student who has limited movement of his hands. He is able to operate a mouse. However, he cannot operate the mouse and make key commands at the same time. Is there any way to adapt the mouse so command key actions can be carried out without pressing the key?

Look inside System Preference "Universal Access" (or whatever even more politically correct name it is called now).
There is a feature called "Sticky keys". That says that when you press the command key in a certain way, it stays pressed (It is "Sticky").
There are also two and three button mouse devices that can be used readily on a Mac (including the "Mighty Mouse" with the little rollerball) that can register one, two, or three button operations.

Is there a way to change the line-endings used by the Flash Professional AS editor?

The Flash ActionScript editor seems to save files on the Mac with an arcane CR (carriage-return) line-ending, instead of using LF or CRLF.
This messes up with my version-control system (git) which doesn't support files with such line-endings.
Is there any way to make the ActionScript save with another line-ending? I wouldn't mind editing some config files manually if that's what it takes.

hide the axis and make your own using one single row table for the x-axis and a single column table for the y-axis

Is there any way to eliminate the locked file function in iWork apps?

Hi, I recently added Lion to my Mac. Is there any way to eliminate the "locked file" function. I do not use iCloud or Time Machine on my Mac. Thanks. Bob

I don't use Time Machine either but the option for this function is in the Time Machine options.
Open System Preferences > Time Machine
Click 'Options'
The bottom option should be about auto-saving. To stop applications from locking documents, uncheck the box. To extend the peiod before the document is locked, select the appropriate time from the drop-down menu.
Hope that;s what you wanted!

Is there a way to lock the folder arrangement in Apple Mail?

My Mother-In-Law has Retinitis and is not able to see well. Every now and then she'll accidentally drag a folder into another in the Folder List.
Is there any way to lock the arrangement of the folders so she can't drop a folder into another, or into the trash?
I'm unable to find anything in the settings or menus.

Is there a way to get the result of using multiple blending modes in one object?

Hello,
I wonder if there's a way to merge multiple objects with blending modes to one object. Here is the example:
On the left rhere are three objects with the same appearence but different blending modes(color dodge, normal, overlay), on the right they are overlapped, which are still three object. I'm looking for the way to have the same result as the right overlapped one, but as one object. Having the same multiple objects only for the result of color blending mode uses too much memory for my computer.
Thank you for your help in advance.

create one object: then in your appearance panel, duplicate the fill twice. Select the top fill and expand the sub menu, click on opacity, choose blending mode. repeat.
