Wondering what the dot menu in Mail is...

Hi,
I was wondering what the dot menu meant. It's the little dot almost all the way to the left of the bar in Mail that has "To", "Subject", and "Date Recieved". (It's up at the top-left)

Below just the dot heading, a blue dot in this column next to a message indicates an unread message.
If you have Buddy Availability checked as an available column, when you have iChat launched and you are online with iChat, a green dot will be shown in this column next to a received or sent message by a buddy available in your iChat buddy list that is online.

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

    Check this out https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3362, thanks to Kappy. Contact your carrier, they would be the only one that could possibly blacklist your phone, if they provide that service.

  • I'm looking at buying a MacBook Pro for uni and I was wondering what the best type would be to get? One with retina display etc

    I'm looking at buying a MacBook Pro for uni next year and I'm not sure what type to get. I've heard different things about the retina display and that people only get it to edit photos etc but then people have said that it is quicker and makes the laptop lighter. I'm also unsure of how much storage I will need. If anyone can help that would be great!!

    There are two screen displays available - Retina and non-Retina - and there's a world of difference between them. The Retina has non-user replaceable RAM and flash storage (well, the latter without voiding your warranty) and the non-Retina has user replaceable RAM and HD/SSD. And then, of course, there's the difference in the resolution of the screen itself... and a difference between the 13" and 15" screens (available in both 'flavors').
    How much storage you need will depend on your needs.
    I don't recommend the Retina models at this time - too many issues with tinting (on Samsung displays) and image retention (on LG displays).
    So take a look at what the non-Retina machines have to offer - you can customize to your heart's content but remember that you can always upgrade the RAM and the hard drive in the non-Retina machines yourself.
    My 2¢...

  • Whats the difference between  MobileMe Mail forums 960 and 961?

    There are two MobileMe Mail forums. One is under "MobileMe on www.me.com" and the other is under "MobileMe on my Mac". There isn't really a new desktop mail application is there? Or am I living in a cave, and just didn't notice the update/announcement?

    Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're seeing ...
    No I think you understand. It is just that I've been reading some of the posts in those forums, and it is often hard to tell what exactly people are talking about. The terminology used made me think maybe I had missed something. Maybe there was a MobileMe Mail App on my Mac, I thought that could 'sync' something.
    Examples:
    [Where has 'Mail Rules' gone..?|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7645781#7645781] seemed to be describing a webmail interface, but then I wasn't sure.
    [Mobile me mail doesn't work at all.|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1616729&tstart=0] mentions mail on the web, but then addresses
    [Syncing Mail Folders w/ MobileMe|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1616331&tstart=0] mentions syncing mail folders; made me think maybe there was a feature I had misunderstood.
    In general, it is a little hard to tell when people are talking about the web interface or the traditional desktop Mail.app.

  • Sincerely wondering what the point is in this 'upgrade'?

    My trackpad is trashed (I know I can buy a new one) and I don't own an iPod, iPhone or iPad and have no plans to buy any in the foreseeable future although we wll probably be purchasing 2 more computers in the next year. I'm not real happy about the loss in services between Mobile Me and iCloud. Some of the features advertised with Lion look pretty cool but after reading all over the net the last 2 days I am becoming pretty ambivalent about doing the upgrade. It seems like it caters solely to those that have all the gadgets?
    I my Mac, but I am not a computer whiz, programmer, etc. I don't know or care about codes and all that stuff. I went with Apple because I wanted a secure, simple, streamlined interface that allowed me to do the things I love and need to do. I bought at Tiger and just updated to Snow Leopard this winter. I've been very happy with it.
    It just seems like the trade off isn't very good... losing a lot of function for a few bells and whistles? What do you actually gain with Lion? I don't want to have to piecemeal my computer experience and I kind of resent Apple forcing my hand. I understand that the world turns and I will have to decide about Lion and iCloud soon and am hoping that in my computer naivete that there is something I am missing? That it really isn't as bad as it seems?
    What are the real changes going to be? Like iDisk. I don't even know what it does or how it works, I just know it works and my stuff is where I want it, when I want it. The loss of iWeb makes my head spin. And practically speaking, how is Lion/iCloud going to change iWork and iLife?
    Please don't read any snarky into this, there is none. I'm just a regular person wanting to make a good decision while I've got the chance. I do appreciate any and all wisdom and/or technical tips you have to offer!
    Just sign me, Eyes Glazed Over & Head Pounding

    Thanks for responding Linc & Ana. I appreciate your time.
    But just a few (more) questions...
    Isn't iOS for the gadgets? Not trying to provoke or argue, just wondering how that enhances my Mac experience? And wondering still... For me, it seems that the only reason there is to 'upgrade' to Lion is to get the free iCloud service. But what is there about iCloud that would make one feel like it was worth the change? I know this is the Lion board but it seems that the two go hand in hand at this point.
    The truth is, I would gladly continue to pay the $100 a year for the services I require and would prefer to do so for piece of mind.

  • Solved Just wondering what the heck this app is called!! xD

    So i've been trying to find the name of this application. But maybe i'm not referring it correctly within the search so maybe you guys could help me. I'm looking for that app that originally comes with arch bang that is like a HUD with all the computer information and real time updates. Any Ideas?!?! also any suggestions on what i should use for a task bar? ohh also! is there anyway to get that cool predifind text that enters in automatically when you open a terminal on the original arch? i like that feature i think its pretty cool.

    I meant like. you know how in arch bang when you start up a terminal it automatically fills out a design of the arch logo and then it allows you to type in your commands--thats what i was looking for! just thought it would be cool to add.

  • I'm in the process of getting my first iPhone and was wondering what the need of additional memory is for to a general user?

    I'm ready to join the iPhone faternity from years of android use, and I don't use my phone for work.  What advantage would having 32G or 64G be to me?

    Since the iPhone's storage cannot be increased, buy as much as you can afford.  Better to have and not need than need and not have.  Plus it will be worth more when you sell it.

  • I am wondering what tools were used in the "Body Evolution" video

    Hi,
    I am wondering what the names of the tools that were used in the "Body Evolution" video? I know somw of them, but I don't know what tools they used for the eyes, nose and to stretch the legs.
    Thank you!

    Station Two,
    I am not in the habbit of, nor do I ever plan to be in the habbit of, photoshopping things to death for the pupose of making it "picture perfect."
    I have always been a person that loves to know how. I may never use it, I just like to know how. Take a look at my work:
    https://www.facebook.com/BenjaminRootPhotography
    I definitely know it wasn't meant to be a tutorial, and personally, I think it's sick when someone photoshops a person like that.
    Like I said before, it all just looked different to me and I wondered what they used.
    I mainly use Photoshop to correct lighting, or to put someone on a different background, or to add a little color to something, or corect some minor things that they request; but a bove all, I alway try to make it look realistic and like the person.
