Limited access to websites is set up but I cannot establish how to maintain the finder so all his school work is still accessible.

New user: how do i block my child from i-tunes purchases in her i-tunes account?

I have a 13" Macbook Pro. Bought last year. Currently running 10.6.8, I recently decided to stupidly change my account name in advanced options, which is located in System accounts. I read that this can have profound repercussions later on. NOTE: I did NOT change the "home directory" name. Example: /Users/myname When I made the changes I discovered the account name and home directory names don't match now. I have had no real issues, just last night my key chain for password was affected but i corrected the matter. So basically I'm asking is there a need to change my home directory to the same name as account name or can I leave them different and if so will any of my stuff be affected.

I have just lost my user account that I normally use. It happened after I changed my name for my user account in the Finder. I clicked Get Info and changed the name from Helen Andersson to only Helen. and after that nothing is the same and i cant go back either that I know of. When I start the computer now everything that I had on my desktop and in my Itunes, Icalendar, addressbook, and Aperture are not there. I have found them (well at least what i had on my desktop and my itunes but not the other information), so they are still on the computer but I dont know how to get back to my normal user account.
When I check my System preferences Account I only have one account so its not like I made a new one and have two. But I can also see that the one I am using now that has nothing on it is made today.
So please if anyone can help me get my iMac to go back to the old user and all its settings the same way I would very much appreciate it. Because this user has nothing and I have to start everything from scratch even my internet settings I had to download again to be able to go on the internet. This user has nothing.

I am getting hung up on creating a new ftp folder in OS X 10.5.8 in order to set up a child theme. Once I am in the ftp file listing <Go - Connect to Server> I'm not sure how to create the folder after that. I've tried right clicking (external mouse). Newer Macs seem to have an Add Folder button at the top of the page.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to upgrade one of the two 500GB HDD I currently have in my MBP 5,3 with a 1TB one. Given that I had good experience with WD, I am looking at their offerings. While their standard WD10TEVT is hardly available around here and if it's much more expensive (for what ever reason), I am interested in the WD10TPVT. Now that HDD has the new Advanced Formatting with 4k sectors which seems to be only a problem for WinXP. But could any Mac user share its experience with that HDD? Is it gonna work the same with Time Machine, backups, file transfer between disks or can issues occur when files are exchanged/transferred between disks with different sector sizes? Only want to upgrade one of my HDDs for now, so is there any preferable setup (in terms of which HDD to have the OS and which the files)?

When trying to deal with an e-mail issue involving an upgrade from OS 10.4 to OS 10.5 on an Imac Intel i noticed a funny thing about the POP accounts. In [home>Library>Mail one user had "POP-(user name)@(name of incoming server)" whereas two users had "POP-(e-mail address)@(name of incoming server). ISP provider, domain name and incoming server is the same for all three accounts (users). Why is there a difference between them in the Finder?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a more advanced calendaring and to-do app than ical.
Basically, I am a pastor in a church, and I have many things in my calendar.
It is all working for me at the moment, but I would like to massively expand what I do in my calendar and to-dos.
Basically, I want to have an extra calendar item that lists all the sermons and sermon series that have been planned for the year (which I wouldn't want to display them in my normal listing of calendars, as its not as if they are booking me in anymore than normal). I would love then to be able to add to-do items/tasks to calendar events so that each calendar event can act like a bit of a project (so if I am organising a service one week, it would be great to have that service in my calendar, and then have a list of linked to-do's to it).
Does anyone know of anything like this? I hope I have explained myself properly.
I have looked at a lot of the GTD apps, but unfortunately they don't have calendar systems attached (i.e. they only seem to be to-do systems).
I've been getting of my oversensitive Mighty Mouse.. the side buttons are way too easy to click so I find my windows constantly rearranging for Expose when I'm doing anything from dragging an icon to scrolling.

I want to upload some files to my website. So I am looking for an advanced FTP client software solution designed for ease of use by both novices and professionals.

When I start the playlist, the first song will play fine but if I don't have the window active it won't advance to the next one. It'll just sit there loading. I have to select the Youtube/Imeem window for it to progress to the next song.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tried several ftp applications, transmit, yummy etc.
I plan to make an update to my site and I would like to know if there is any mac ftp program which supports several ftp functions like the ones described below:
- Rename all files of the remote hosting server, at once (like _old_site_files_filename). Also exclude the renaming of existing folders.
- Add files to folders that already exist, without overwriting/replacing folders themselves, but just adding the new files inside folders. Keep existing folders without replacing them. Some folders have special permissions attached to them, so it would be a mess to replace them because then I would have to set all permissions from the beginning...
I hope there is a solution for these tasks in a mac os x ftp application.
I have the 2nd gen macbook air with a 256gb ssd, and I am down to my last 20gbs. I've also got an external hd. I moved my entire itunes library on the external hd, but I didn't like not having the capability to acces my content when I didn't have the hd in possesion. So I moved everything back. Is there anyway to move certain items into the hd while retaining other items on my mac and still maintaining a unified syncing from both sources via iTunes?
As an example: Let's say I've got all 3 Toy Story movies. I always want Toy Story 1 to be on my mac no matter what. But soon I will not have space for future content, so I have decided to move Toy Story 2 & 3 onto the external hd.So is there a way to move Toy Story 2 & 3 onto the hd and still have them be considered as a part of my itunes library - so that when I sync my iPad, the items that are on the external hd will only be available to sync when I plug the drive in?
If so, this is going to save me tons of time, without having to manually drag and drop each movie file from my external hd onto my itunes library whenever I want to sync them. I'd rather iTunes just be smart enough to figure out that theres a movie on my mac that I want to sync to my iPad, as well as several others that are stored on the exteranl hd.

I bought a new Hard Drive today.
It's a 1.5TB Western Digital GreenPower WD15EARS with "Advanced Format" and a huge, 64mb Cache. I wasn't intending to get anything special, just more space.
Apparently "Advanced Format" means the drive sectors are 4kb instead of the usual 512b.
This has apparently been in the works for some time but is just now being phased in.
OSX back to Tiger (10.4) supports Advanced Format drives with no issues.
The big hold up has been Windows 5 (XP) and earlier. Using one of these drives with XP could cause a real slowdown unless special precautions are taken.
The drive installed and formatted normally under Snow Leopard. According to AJA System Test, the 5400rpm GP drive is indeed slower than my WD Blacks (duh!) and a 7200rpm Hitachi. I have yet to compare it to one of my external "regular" GreenPower drives by mounting one internally.
Here's a good description:[URL]
Any thoughts as to how this new formatting will affect Macs in particular?

Using Mail 7.3. In response to the piling up emails on all devices I went into advanced setting under Mail preferences and set it to removed emails from the server. I immediately realized this wouldn't work bc now I can't get my email for that email account on my iPad. It goes to my desktop and then no other devices.
When I go back to reset that so it doesn't delete from the server I get this message: Invalid Directory
The account path /Users/emma/Library/Mail/V2/POP-Info@movementsofthesoul.org@mail.movementsofthesoul.org is already being used by the account “cmos”
It won't let me Save the change. Apparently it doesn't like that I have two email addresses (accounts) with that domain.
I was hoping that somebody could recommend a good advanced text list editing application, that I could use to edit a massive text list that I have, in which there is both a leading space and a trailing space at the beginning and end of every item in my text list, which I am trying to get rid of. Normally, I would use Microsoft Word's Find/Replace feature to replace a particular text character with a different character of my choosing, however, if I were to try and use this feature to remove every space in my document, it would also mess things up quite a bit by removing spaces that exist correctly between the words for various items in my text list. How I could go about accomplishing this task?

I am using a Pantone Spyder from roughly 2002 and have the latest version of the PhotoCal software (which is no longer supported for Macintosh.)

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I want to setup an (advanced?) network using my existing wired router (sorry, have to use this cause of my IP-Telephone and my ISP), An Airport Extreme for high-speed N wireless to my MBP and an Airport Express for music streaming and slow wireless acces for my ibook and other devices (I don't want to compromise my N-connection for the MBP). I would like to let the existing router handle all the NAT (I barely know what this is) and stuff like that and simply let the Airports act like bridges (or something along thoose lines if possible).. The reson for this is I've heard the extreme has performance issues when going through NAT-handling or using the WAN-port (is it possible to connect the existing router to a LAN-port on the extreme and still have internet acces or does it have to connect to the WAN-port?) The MBP should be able to connect to the express exlusivly for music-streaming to my stereo (if it's possible to connect to the extreme using wireless and somehow the extreme is so smart it routes trough cable to the express that would be even more awsome!). The Ibooks and other devices would connect wirelessly to the express for internet and music streaming.....
