New Sync icon in top toolbar - what's it do?

There's a new Sync icon beside my bluetooth icon in the top tool bar. Clicking on it revelas:
Never Synchronized .mac (indented/can't click)
Sync Now
Open .mac System Preferences...
Is this only beneficial to .mac subscribers? or what will happen if I 'Sync Now'? (i'm not signed up to .mac)

It should do the same thing as the big "Sync Devices" button in iSync.
You can turn it on/off from iSync preferences – the "Show status in menu bar" option.

New email icon on top of screen helppp!!!!

Hey all. I am having a problem getting the new email icon off of the top of my screen! I have no new emails and have deleted any emails on the phone. I have tried taking the battery out for a few minutes and then putting it back in, no change. I've deleted the email accounts off of the phone and battery out, no change. My friend who is more familiar with smart phones checked settings and everything is as it should be. Anyone have any suggestions/solutions to offer? Thanks bunches!!

Hey, sorry all. I figured out what happened. So scratch that post (can't figure out how/if I'm able to delete the post).

Is there a way to have the 'new tab' icon on the toolbar AND have the "new tab" button at the right end of my tabs, as before? It seems to be either/or.

Under the previous version of Firefox I had the "new tab" option in both locations. When I upgraded, the one at the end of the tab line had disappeared. I used the suggestion from the forum to reset to default and it did reappear, but the icon in the toolbar had disappeared. Since there is no + in the customization window I cannot place a new one, and if I drag and drop from the tab bar it moves to the toolbar, but will not duplicate itself. I use either of these interchangeably, and having only one or the other is a real annoyance, and does slow me down when doing multiple searches or otherwise utilizing multiple tabs.

Hi, I have a similar problem with 12.0 of Firefox. The 'Add New Tab' tab has moved from the righthand end of open tabs to the left hand end.
If I right click on an empty tab area and select customize the "Add New Tab' tab disappears and an Add New Tab icon appears at the right hand end. I can drag and drop this icon into the Customize Toolbar window.
However if I drag it from the window back to the Tab toolbar area on the right. It initially appears on the right. Then clicking 'Done' on the Customize Toolbar window converts the icon to a tab but places it back at the left hand end of the tabs.
I'm sure this didn't happen before - so it's a possibility I have messed something up but I can't seem to correct it?

How do I uninstall an icon in top toolbar?

Hi you experts,
I am really struggling with how to delete/remove an icon on top right toolbar. I have been into 'customize toolbar' in 'help viewer',( it is greyed out in "finder') & it just keeps unexpectedly quitting. As far as Im aware I have deleted the program (it was a 3rd party free download trial back up program (Personal Backup) although would be grateful if you could take me through the steps to uninstall to check that i indeed did do it properly & to reccomend a good back up program & where to get it from.
Thanks a lot

I use Carbon Copy CLoner all the time. Once you've tried it a few times and familiarised yourself with it, it's excellent (and it's also free) from here:

Make sure you download the correct version for MacOS 10.3 and not 10.4

What is the new sync icon on macbook pro?

There is an icon in my taskbar. Every time I start my computer it begins to sync. I would like to know what this is and where are the settings for this procedure? Is it for iCloud?

Address book, now called Contacts, syncing with Google/iCloud contacts?
Circle with two arrow heads on it?

Thunderbird updated yesterday and now nothing is displayed except the top toolbars.What do I do?

My address book is still there, and it still showed that it downloaded my new messages, but there is no way to access them. The whole screen is blank except for the toolbars at the top. No Inbox, folders, nothing. Guess I shouldn't have updated.

Nope. "…after upgrading to TB31 on a Windows 7 system…"
The similarity led me to wonder if this was a TB31 issue rather than Windows version related.
This below is from the system where it all happened, though now of course I have reverted to an older TB:
Name Thunderbird
Version 24.6.0
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.6.0
Application Build ID 20140610001341
Elsewhere it says "Windows 7 Professional" and "Service Pack 1" though of course all that is displayed the traditional perverse Microsoft way in a non copy-and-pastable format. :-S
I now use gContactSync which also wanted to do some some reformatting, but the one bit that's survived intact is the Address Book. It would be odd for different contact sync tools to have trashed the mailstore and settings files, eh?
I've also seen reports that MoreFunctionsForAddressBooks breaks auto-completion in TB31, but I don't see that happening on my trusty Linux box.
I'm back at work this work after a break and some illness, and in that time away I was using exclusively Android and Linux. I'm not a big fan of the tablet and Android, but I'd forgotten just how painful and awkward it has become to use Windows. People, look around. There are free alternatives and they let you do it as you want, not as dictated by Redmond!
I'm currently copying my important work stuff over to Outlook. I'm scared of what might happen next time if I inadvertently let TB "upgrade" again. :-(

I have the first ipod and i have a pad lock icon @ the top ? what happened and how do i get it unlocked ?

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL IPOD AND SOME HOW I HAVE PAD LOCK ICON THAT SHOWED UP HOW CAN I UNLOCK IT

Richard
Have you tried resetting it. You do this by holding down the home( white middle button) and the Menu button at the same time. Keep holding until it comes back on. I had the same problem and it worked after holding for about 10 seconds. Also if you need technical help call a local store and talk to the phone rep. They will often give you tips without charging you the $35 that the Apple Phone Service charges you just to help you. Good Luck! Jim

New email icon won't go

Hi All,
Need your help again.
I have got a "new email" icon on top left hand side (along with number 1 written) & a "red colour star" icon
on my office email messenger, but the thing is I have no unread emails. The count of the unread increases
when I get new emails from office. As I open all the unread emails, this count decreases, but ultimately
stays again at 1, along with "new email" icon & "red colour star" icon.
I have already tried the following (in the same order):
1) I deleted all my office emails from my BB, but still the problem continued
when this did not help,
2) i deleted all the emails from my other BB email messengers (gmail/hotmail)
when this did not help,
3)switched off my BB with the power button,
when this did not help,
4) I took out the battery (with BB on)
when this did not help,
5) called up the service provider, who sent me "service book" for re-configuration, (after I took
out the battery again with BB on)
Now the last option I can think of is, have the office email id removed from my BB & then reconfigure
again.
But is their any other solution.
Thanks for reading this big help request.
Jssethi

New Tabs Icon

Anyone know how or if Safari Windows will have a New Tabs icon on the toolbar?

Currently there is no toolbar button to open new tab. However you can file a feature request regarding this button -> http://bugreport.apple.com.

IPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened? Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

The New Mail page no longer has an "address" icon at the top. what happened?

The New Mail page no longer has an "Address" icon at the top. What happened?

Big --
Go up to the "View" menu, and pull down the "Columns" and "Sort by" menu options. Do you see what you want there? When you say "Address" do you mean "From?"
Just saw BDA's response.
Are you talking about Safari, or the Mail app?

Sync Icon On my Top Menu Bar Suddenly Appearing !

Hi,
After 3 weeks of Lion, Icloud and Ios 5 Update, I notice the sync Icon on my Top Menu Bar. On clicking it it shows me SYNC NOW option.
What is this for ? It was never there earlier and I have not changed a single setting & not done any recent updates either. Why is this suddenly appearing. On Googling for the same it shows only how to remove it by Option Dragging it off... But does not say how to get it back. Do i need this ?
The only change I Notice just yesterday when I saw this Sync Symbol, is that on adding or deleting Calendar events on my Iphone, I would have to launch iCal on my Imac Earlier to see the updates. But now even though iCal is off (QUIT), it automatically launches and updates the entry. This is great but I only want to know how is this all happening automatically since just yesterday.
On my other User profiles it is not hapening automatically and the sync icon is not visible !
Please help.
thanks
cyrus !

you can remove the sync icon by holding down the command key and then drag the sync icon from your menu bar

How do I add the new tab icon to the Yosemite toolbar?

How do I add the New Tab icon to my Safari toolbar?--it disappeared after I upgraded to Yosemite.

To show your favourites bar where they were previously choose View>Show Favourites Bar. To add a page to your favourites. Click the share button right hand top, square with arrow pointing up. Choose Add bookmarks then adjust to add to favourites.
If you just mean a new tab hit the + button.

I found an old iPod classic of mine. It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro. How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer? When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone. I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer. Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer. I don't want to do that. I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes. Any help? Thanks!

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
