Updating sublinks without having to open the "subfiles"

It would be great to have a way of updating sublinks (I use a lot of items that have linked items that themselves have linked items). If one of those sub-sublinks is modified, I have to open all the files in question to update them. It would be great to be able to do this from the parent file in the link panel.
Thanks

It's a long time this message has been posted... is there anyone here?
I'm searching for an answer to this question too.
Is there something new about it?
Thanks

How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.

How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.
Thanks!

No, they will all follow the default setting. If you want them all to fetch, for example every 15 minutes, then set it to 15 minutes in Fetch. I only mentioned the other if you wanted to leave one for manual. I have an account on my phone that is a POP account that I get mail at home from. I let my home computer get this mail, but when I am out of town, I pick it up with the iPhone. That one is set to manual.

Outlook Add In - Hook into delete event without having to open the email.

Is it possible to hook into the BeforeDelete command without having to open the email to fire the event. At present my code will hit the BeforeDelete event when the email is open and delete is selected, but it does not fire if deleting without opening
the email.

When I access the address book, how can I copy an address without having to open the person's info in the edit window?

When I find a person's address in the address book and highlight their name in one pane, in the lower pane their info shows up. Unfortunately, highlighting the information I want is disabled. So, I open their info in the edit window, and then click on the appropriate tab.
Getting a single piece of information is not so inconvenient, but when you're putting together lists it is rather onerous to do it that way.
Being able to highlight and copy off the address book panes would be cool. Thanks

In an earlier communication, I had said that this was possible, at least with TB on Windows, but I realize now that it's only possible when a certain add-on is enabled: [https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook]
http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html
Install the add-on, and see if you can now highlight info in the Contact Pane by dragging the cursor. Ctrl-C (or the Mac equivalent) to copy the highlighted text to the clipboard.
You may notice that right-clicking an address in the Contact Pane now shows a Copy command, but a bug in the add-on prevents this option from being active.

How do you select multiple recipients without having to open the contacts list each time

Just upgraded to Yosemite...not really impressed with the overall look but...can live it. Using mail, if you did not want to send to an entire group, you could scroll through and select all the desired addresses at one time. Now it appears that you have to click on the "plus sign", select one address, have it close then repeat the same process over and over. Sorry, not an improvement if this is the way it is designed to work. Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the input. I am not sure why they changed the old system....is there any way to force the contact box to stay open? Not being able to scroll down a list and select multiple selections is a big step back. Hopefully Apple will get the message.

I want to be able to open my favorite bookmarks without having to open firefox first

When I had IE 9 I could send my favorites to a "tab" in the lower right hand corner called Links and I could open any one of my favorites without opening IE first. When I want to open a favorite bookmark from Firefox, I have to open Firefox first. Is there a way to save bookmarks without having to open the webpage first?

The usual method may be to open Firefox with certain favourites as homepages, or to open Firefox with the tabs from the last session. It may be unusual to have 20-30 pages as a homepage. There may be some limit to the string length but you could try it.
*[[How to set the home page]]
Once Firefox is open you may also choose to open any folder in the bookmarks library and use the option open all tabs. If you wanted you could also open Firefox directly into the library as a tab.
* use ''chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul''
Additionally note that firefox handles tab groups (I seem to recall development of this feature has stopped and it may be replaced in the future)
* [[Use Tab Groups to organize a lot of tabs]]
*[[Mastering the Tab Group Editor]]
If you do use tab groups please note they are not too robust. You could loose the sessions, it is a good idea to bookmark important tabs.
Another workaround may be to use a document containing a list of the required links and open that document or a link from it with Firefox. I am not sure if there are any add-ons that do what you require, you could have a look.

2 Questions: Can u turn on computer w/o having to open the laptop? and...

...what is the proper way to disconnect the laptop from the monitor if I want to use the laptop separately? Do I have to shut everything down first then disconnect the cables?
The first question is really what's bothering me. Not that it's alot of work, but if there are key commands on the keyboard to turn the entire system on without having to open the laptop that would be great. Thanks!

...what is the proper way to disconnect the laptop from the monitor if I want to use the laptop separately? Do I have to shut everything down first then disconnect the cables?
No. It is designed for plugging or unplugging with power on.
The first question is really what's bothering me. Not that it's alot of work, but if there are key commands on the keyboard to turn the entire system on without having to open the laptop that would be great.
If it is off, not just sleeping, you have to use the power button.

How do I view a message in the reading pane without first having to open the message?

On my previous e-mail system, I was able to read the text of an incoming message in the reading pane below the selection of incoming messages without first having to open the incoming message about which I was curious. This had the advantage of allowing me to review and delete messages that appeared to be suspicious to me without first opening them and exposing my computer to the danger of an incoming & unwanted virus, etc. I am not able to do this with the new e-mail system and I an unable to find instructions on how to do this with your "Help" inquiry. Does Firefox have this capability? If so, how do I access it?

Firefox has no email features, it is just a web browser.
If you are using a web based email service such as Gmail or Hotmail, you will need to contact the support for the email service to see if they offer the feature that you want. Any email features will be part of the web based email service.

HT4623 I have never had a passcode to lock my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

I have never had a passcode to lock my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

I want to synchronize Firefox/Thunderbird of my pc to my smartphone without having to open a google account

Is it not possible to synchronize Firefox/Thunderbird and others of my pc to my smartphone Galaxy S III, Android version 4.1.2 - without having to open a google account ? I do not want that. Please be helpful.

Firefox for Android does not require any Google services. We recommend you install from the Play Store. However if you want a self updating version of Firefox outside the Play Store I recommend you install our Aurora version at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/
After installing Firefox or Aurora you should be able to follow https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync to set up Firefox Sync.
There is no version of Thunderbird for Android. You could try the popular and open source k-9 Mail.

Copy just those files. But that isn't ideal. You really want a differential system that efficiently updates the backup set with all new and updated files. See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suggested strategy.

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them in iPhoto full screen without having to open each one in preview?

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them full screen on my Mac without having to open each one in preview?

You would have to import them to iPhoto, iPhoto cannot work with images that are not in its library.
You might try some of the other viewers out there.
