Is there an app that will check for mail or notify me instantly when I get new email?

Every 15 minutes is just not quick enough.
I checked the app store & couldn't find an app that would check for mail every minute. Am I missing it?
I know about the potential for battery drain.
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Is there an app that will hunt for duplicates of my photos?

I have managed to collect duplicates of my photos after changing to my new Macbook Air. Any ideas how to weed out the duplicates without looking at each photo seperately? Thanks.

These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

Is there a program that will check for viruses or other reasons why it runs slow?

For several months my iMac has been running slow or freezing often. Safari often quits unexpectedly as does mail on occasion.

Programs that check for viruses are a major cause of slow Macs, so let's look at doing steps that don't handicap your computer:
1) How full is your hard drive? You need a minimum of 10G free for background processes such as Virtual Memory.
2) How much RAM is installed? RAM for the Mid-2010s is rather cheap at the moment, I upgraded my 27-inch Mid-2010 recently from the original 4GB to 12 GB for about US$55. Installation took only minutes.
3) If you have an external hard drive for backups, are you using something other than Time Machine to do the backups. Many third-party backup programs can cause a performance hit.
The next step is a little longer. It checks to see if some runaway background process is eating processor cycles and slowing you down:
1) Use your computer normally for typical tasks for several hours, then quit any applications you have launched. Do not restart.
2) In Applications > Utilities, find Activity Monitor. If you've not used it before, you have to change a setting. At the top of the AM window is a "Show" option. By default it is set to show "My Processes." Change it to "All Processes" like this:
4) Now highlight the "%CPU"column as shown so the most active processes "bubble"to the top (tiny arrow points down).
Now watch things move up and down for a minute of two. What you are looking for is any single process that is using more than about 10 percent of the processor cycles while the computer is idling. If you see one doing that, post its name in a reply here.
Awaiting your report,
Allan

Is there an app that will show a photo's metadata for the iPad?

It is said that "A picture is worth a thousand words" but without context it is only a picture. With context a photo can become a slice of life. Is there an app that will show the viewer the metadata that belongs to that picture?

Have a look in the App Store for "EXIF viewer".
There are quite a few free ones.

Has anyone found an app that will check programs on my computer for compatibility with osx lion?

Has anyone found an app that will check the programs on my computer running Snow Leopard for compatibility with osx lion? Thanks
Ken

No app needed, just go into your Utlities folder and click on System Information (it could go by another name). Click on Software and then Applications. Wait a minute for it to load and then check for anything that says "PowerPC" instead of Universal or Intel. PowerPC software will not work in Lion. With my 100+ apps, none of them were PowerPC.
Note: You may have to resize the System Information window to see the operating information.

Is there an App that will sync with microsoft outlook calender?

Is there an App that will sync with microsoft outlook calender?

OK here is a problem I have with my calender- all the events are added mutible times for each event- at least 4 of each. So how do I get all of these mutiable events down to just one event. Now this also includes hollidays and personel events on the calender from outlook. All this I think happened after sync to Cloud- not sure, could have happened after OS 5 update!!! Now this is on my iPhone 4. Now going to my calender on my home computer in outlook no events or holidays are showing in the outlook my calender. If I go to the icloud calender it has mutiable events and holidays like on my iPhone. Now how do I fix this without causing a problem with my other programs?

Does Mac have an app that will check and correct spelling

Does Mac have an app that will check and correct spelling

Spell Check has been built into Mac OS X for years, including the ancient version listed in your profile. You don't need a separate app.
Mac OS X 10.4 Help
Checking spelling as you type
In many Mac OS X applications, you can have the application automatically check your spelling as you type. When you mistype or misspell a word, it's underlined in red so you can quickly spot errors and correct them.
Open the application that you want to use and choose Edit > Spelling > "Check Spelling as You Type."
If you don't see this item in the Edit menu, the application doesn't provide the Mac OS X spell-checking feature. The application may have its own spell-checker. Look in the application's preferences or menus for a spell-checker.

It's not that simple. You need a "smart" device to connect a hard drive to, like a Time Capsule, or another computer, or an Airport Extreme/Express that was made to share a drive, or some other brand router that has a USB port for sharing a drive, etc.

Is there a app that will tell all apps that are running and possibly how much battery power they use?

Is there a app that will tell all apps that are running and possibly how much battery power they use?

You don't need an app to do this. Here's how you get the battery info. Go to Settings>More>Battery. This will show you all the active apps and their individual battery usage.

Is there a app that will interrup playback when loud noise occurs?

Is there an app that will temporally stop playback of a song when a loud noise occurs?

Most Android phones can be made to do this with their own settings, however you can go to the Play Store and download others. This type of alarm will be very hard on your battery life as a rule.

Demo,
I was using the New iPad (iPad 3??) to access my FL Comcast email account for the 1st time. on a new internet site, my Canadian Cousin's site in her home in Quebec. I had never used this iPad on my Comcast account.
Whenever I try to access my email account from a different internet account than my own, Comcast always asks me for my user name and password. They also normally ask me to answer a security question that I have given them beforhand to prove who I am.
Thia time they did not do that. They have started a more secure check system that requires you to read numbers and letters from a box that is moving around and retype those items into another box before hitting enter. Machines cannot read those letters. The iPads, not having "Flash" installed, also can not see those letters/numbers.
If you can not see the letters/numbers you can not type them into the second block therefore you can not verify that you are who you claim to be.
After all that, the also show a screen that asks if this is your personal computer or one from a friend or library or company etc, and if you want them to remember this device as yours from now on....
I just left the Apple Store here and they said that the reason I can not see the "Floating Figures" is because the iPads cannot show anything that is made using "Flash" stuff because that system is not the latest updated secure system....
Thank for the reply.

Is there a app that will restrict all accesss to my iphone except for my sons games

I was curious if there are specific apps out there to limit complete access to my phone except for my sons games, as in if he wants to play a game i click an app witch i can add and remove games to and once he is in that app he cant go to the home screen, he cant access anything on the phone, no messages, no calls, no nothing. I was looking at restrictions but i dont want him to try and figure out a pin number then incidentally make an emergency call. So in short is there a way or an app that will basically function as a multiple users on a computer dose?

There is guided access, that you can enable a single app to run in, and it can not be easily exited from.
Settings>General>Accessibility>Guided Acess

Is there an app that will show show how many characters one uses in an SMS?

Apple are still not showing how many characters are used when one send an SMS, does anyone know why? and if there is an APP that will take care of this? Thanks

I'm not sure if it will work for international texting, but I use AIM to text my friends all the time.
Just put +1 followed by the phone number, including area code, without any punctuation, and it works for within the US. And when your contact replies, it goes directly to your AIM account.
There is also a way to send texts using your email client, and the replies get sent directly to your email inbox. There is a service called teleflip that will do it. Again, I don't know how well it works internationally.
The best thing to do would be to try both solutions out.

I have an iphone 4s, I installed Vtok but the video chatting part of the app is not working when I try to chat with my husband through gmail on his PC. Can I fix this or is there another app that will let me chat with my gmail chat contacts?

Vtok video chatting is not working on my iphone 4s. When I try to do a video chat with my gmail chat contacts who are using a PC we each only get the voice part of the chat and no video. Is there some way to fix this or is there another program that will let me video chat with my gmail chat contacts? Thank you.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Is there an app that will check for mail or notify me instantly when I get new email?
