I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

HT5622 I did not choose "use icloud" option for my initial setup. so, it is creating for not enough space in my ipad. How do I go back and set up icloud to store data?

I did not choose "use icloud" option for storing during my initial setup. How can I reset icloud account, so it can be used for storing.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you are planning on using iCloud to store files, forget about iCloud and use a cloud storage service like SkyDrive or Dropbox. iCloud is focused on information sync between the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and PC instead of storing files like MobileMe. It's not worth using iCloud for this.
If you still want to set up iCloud, open Settings > iCloud, log in with your Apple ID and follow its steps

IPhone 5 Pre-order but no option for AppleCare?

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, sorry if I'm wrong!
I've pre-ordered my iPhone 5 from my carrier (Orange UK) but there was no option for AppleCare. Am I able to purchase this from the Apple Store once it has arrived?
Thanks, Ben

Yes, once you get the phone take it to an Apple Retail Store or call AppleCare in your country for your options.

Using Mac mini for storage

Hello Folks,
Quick question: can I use the mac mini for storage only? I have loads of movies, music and tv shows that I want to store.
How would this work if at all possible?
Alternative advice on EHD that I should rather use?
Thanks!
JDT

Yes, and target disk mode, or firewire over IP or setting it up as a file server are all possibilities. But given there are faster more capacious hard drives for less, I would get that instead unless there is some feature of the Mac Mini that a simple hard drive can't do that you need. I.e. Front Row, Media Central or other software can be used to see your data on a TV. An external hard drive attached to your desktop Mac together with an AppleTV can do the same thing but the media formats are more limited.

Using Mac Mail for Gmail - controlling which folders to sync

Using Mac Mail app for my Gmail, is there a way to control which folders I'm syncing with? I have 90k+ archived messages, which I don't need to have on my desktop. Is there a way to keep that from syncing?
iMac 27"
Updated to latest version of Mavericks.

Go into the Gmail web portal and open Settings. Go to Labels tab and set it to not show those folders in IMAP.

Using Mac-Mini for movie / TV entertainment center

Hi all,
Can someone steer me into right direction? I'd like to use my MacMini as my main entertainment center to view my movies, music,TV, etc. and would like to know what will I need to make viewing pleasurable? I'd like to get a 42" display. I'd also like to add 5.1 digital surround sound. I'll also be using my Mac mini for web surfing and emails. Thanks for your help
Web dude

I just finished my setup, and I'm quite satisfied. I bought a Mac Mini to use as the media center and bought the Elgato EyeTV 250+ to get digital television over the antenna, which also allows you to use your mac as a DVR. I send the video to a Sony projector via DVI to HDMI cable, and the audio goes to my old surround sound receiver via the headphone jack to RCA. If you don't have a receiver yet, I'd get one that has optical audio input since the headphone jack on the mini also has optical out. I also use a firewire external hard drive to store video.
I continue to use my DVD player to play DVD's instead of the mini, simply because if there are any scratches (especially on rentals) the mini doesn't work through them as well as my DVD player. I plan on ripping my collection to the external drive so that I don't have to deal with disks at all though.
For the keyboard and mouse, I got the logitech dinovo mini keyboard because it has a trackpad integrated in the keyboard. While some of the buttons lack functionality, I will probably use ControllerMate to program them as well as difficult keyboard shortcuts. The other nice thing is if you have a "learning" programable remote because you can program it with the apple remote signal as well as the EyeTV remote and reduce the amount of clutter on the couch.

Using mac-adresses for authentication

How do we configure our controllers/radius-servers to use MAC-addresses instead of authenticate against a certain group in the AD? We would, if possible, like to combine these two ways of authentication in on SSID.
We're running 7.0.116.0 on our controllers (5500-series) and our radius-servers are one W2k8 and one W2k3.

On wireless we might manage to avoid MAC-authentication altogether. The possible exception is about 20 devices which can handle our network as it is today but where all the default policies on our domain causes a lot of extra work.
On the wired network we haven't got any protection what so ever today. We have now started the process of separating out critical equipment and try telling a CT-scanner (I work at a hospital) that it's got to use certificates ;-) The plan for all regular computers is to use the same (though slightly modified) policy as we're using for wireless today but that leaves all the "weird" medical devices which don't have antivirus, can't handle certificates and generally don't do security... In the end the medical equipment will end up on one set of vlans and the regular computers on another with a firewall regulating access.
Since we're starting with the wireless I asked here :-)

On My Mac option for notes

I did a clean install of Yosemite and saved my notes to iCloud so that I could retrieve them after install. The On My Mac option has disappeared and I want it back. I have read the "solution" available here Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support
It is useless to me. I don't want a hundred document files on my computer with my notes in them. I don't want emails of them. I want them in the notes app, under the On My Mac list. And I don't want to access my notes through iCloud forever more. I want the On My Mac option back in the side bar and to move my notes back from iCloud to this location. Please advise.

Do a backup. Try turning Notes sync off under System Preferences/iCloud. Then open the Notes application, then File/New Folder. This should put a folder under On My Mac. Go back to System Preferences, resync Notes, and then copy them to the On My Mac folder while holding down the option/alt key.

TiVo and Mac - options for burning DVD of TiVo'ed recordings (personal use)

I have 2 Series 2 TiVo boxes connected via wireless network to my iMac (Intel-based mid07). The issue is the limited recording capacity, only a problem when traveling overseas - they both fill up in about 2 weeks. When I get back home, since I can't watch my recorded shows as fast as I record on a daily basis when I have a backlog, I am trying to find a quick way to dump TiVo'ed stuff to DVD to watch later. So I bought Roxio Popcorn and installed the TiVoToGo on my iMac. The issues I have are:
1. When I transfer a recording to my iMac, it strips the "header" from the recording that shows the name of the show, length, channel, episode synopsis, date, etc that I get when using TiVo's "Save to VCR" option - hate to lose that
2. Popcorn doesn't seem to have any settings where I can adjust the DVD writer to simulate EP, VP etc recording modes that (on a commercial DVD player/burner) vary how much recording time I have on a given DVD.
3. "Popping" a recording from TiVo box to Mac is a misnomer - it takes almost as long as playing the recording.
So all this has me thinking there must be a faster, easier way to dump recordings from TiVo to DVD and with a recording mode of my choosing. I have read about Roxio Toast but it isn't clear that these particular issues would be solved and hate to spend another $100 to find out. Thx for any suggestions...

I have used this program (free - using open source components)
http://tdm.sourceforge.net/
Looks like this may be a newer version, so I'll have to try it out. Thanks for asking the question.
1. I don't think there is anything you can do about that. To be encoded, the material has to be part of the recorded video. The software will name the encoded video file in a somewhat descriptive manner, but it won't give you a frame with the program details.
2. There is really no such thing as EP and VP. All that is doing is lowering the resolution (quality) of the recorded video encoding, so that each video takes less space. In the program linked above, you can change the resolution of the encoding so that each video takes less space, but you lose quality.
3. Lower resolution encodings should take less time to produce (but it still takes time). The biggest bottleneck with the TiVo (Series 2) appears to be the slow network connection. It takes a long time to push (or maybe pull is more accurate) the video data from the TiVo to the Mac. It is best to set up a queue and let it run while you are sleeping or away. Once you have encoded the TiVo program/episode into a video file, you can use that file however you want. But, putting it onto a DVD would seem to be the least efficient thing you can do, because the space on a DVD is limited, and you are adding another block of time (in addition to the time it took to encode the video from the TiVo), to re-encode it again and burn it to a DVD. Much more efficient would be to store it on your computer and use it from there. If you lack storage, get a large external drive and store the files there. Then, watch from the computer. If you want to watch on the TV, connect the TV to the Mac as a second display. Or get an Apple TV and stream the video from your computer to the TV. For the last two, the TV needs to be an HDTV (connected by HDMI) for best results.

Can I use Mac Pro for a server?

I hope this is the right place to ask this....
I have an older Mac Pro G5 (10.5.8) Desktop. I cannot update it past Leopard. So now I have a newer MacBook Pro. I was wondering if I could utilize my old Mac Pro as some sort of "server"?
It has the origninal smaller drive but I added an additional 1TB SATA drive that is just sitting there doing nothing.
I rip a lot of movies to my MacBook Pro so I am already out of storage on it. I keep moving movie files to my Time Capsule (1TB) in which I have partitioined off 300MB to use for media storage.
I have an Apple TV that I connect to my MacBook Pro but when I'm gone, the family can't use the ATV.
So, all that being said, can I somehow set up my older Mac Pro to use as a "server" and move all my media/photos/videos/songs to? Or should I just copy everything to the 1TB drive on the Mac Pro and just access it through ATV like I do my MBP?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ehren

You absolutely could use your old Mac Pro as a server, however you still won't be able to update it passed 10.5.8.
That said, you should be able to store your media on it, and share it to your AppleTV through iTunes, barring any incompatibilites with the older software. I haven't looked into the system requirements for home sharing in a while. You might want to take a quick check and make sure everything is good to go.

Want to use Mac's for public access in public library -- NEED HELP please.

We have a grant to replace all of the computers in our small town public library. I would like to be able to consider Macintosh computers (would Love to, actually) but have not been able to find any information about how to do that.
Biggest issue is "access management". We have a system for PCs that logs on a patron by using their library card number and a PIN. That system then allots them an hour or two to use the computer, times them, warns them when time is running out and so on, and it also manages printer access and charges a few cents per page to print.
We need that for Macs. The software maker gets all attitude about "we have 2000 libraries with PC's and Zero with Macs." ARGH!
Help help help.
Also... please point me to anyone at Apple that knows what a public library is and would like to help us overcome this attitude problem.
We have a grant and can buy the computers. We just need some help to get it done.
Thanks!

And the fact there is Smart Card access in:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html#security
Suggest you may be able to do this with the operating system itself. Apple Support has specialists you can request to speak to about how to setup such systems when you call them:
http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
I've never setup such a system, but given that other features I've been able to ask about and get specialists to help me, suggest that's probably the most logical course to go.

Using Mac Word for Windows software using Parallels

Hello,
I'm using Parallels. I'm running a Windows program. The program has an export to Word function. I do not have Word on Windows, I just have MS Office on the Mac side. When I Export to Word in Windows, it says I need to have Word installed. Is there a way to have my Windows software utilize Word using Office for Mac?
Thanks!

Sorry, but no. Save the file on your Mac OS X volume if you have third-party software on Windows that enables you to write to a Mac drive. Or find out if you really need to have Word installed in order to export a file from your program to a Word compatible file.

HT1277 I've been using mac mail for years no trouble. mobleme to icloud has ****ed it all away. now I have no email

Why Oh Why has my mac mail stoped working. After years its gone tits up. Keeps saying MobileMe IMAP server “mail.me.com” rejected the password for user blah blah blah. tried everything. son now ive deleted the thing of the computer can this thing be put right or do I have to go back to using some microsoft sh-te. This all happen after the migration to icloud but slowly it went to rubbish and now nothing.
Im on OSX 10.6.8

MobileMe IMAP server “mail.me.com” rejected the password
This is doing EXACTLY what I would expect it to.
You need Lion for iCloud which it should warn you when you do the me.com/move routine.
It's still fixable though:
