Hi all. I just got my mac air, and have a few questions. I've upgraded to mountain lion BTW. 1. I have gmail. Is there an easy way to tell the mail ap that when i open it i want all of my mail to be automatically downloaded? And, to set a time for the mail to be check for? 2. Email delete: I do the command delete to delete the messages I want to get rid of but when I close the ap they come back. How can I stop this? 3. "Vo automatically start: I unchecked in system preferences that I want to have to enter a password every time I log in but in user/log on, I don't get a choice for vo to start automatically. How can I start VO every time I start my computer? 4. Shared network:" I have an external hard drive that I've shared on my network. Why can't I see it on my air, or where can I go to see it? 5. Safari: I check the box that will let me see my favorites, navigate to the table, but vo+space doesn't activate the link. How do I pick the favorite I want to go to? And, how can I also add a favorite? and finally: 6. iTunes: I've purchased some music in the past using my iPhone. Can I access that seem music and download it to my computer without plugging my iPhone in? Thanks for putting up with my questions. *smile) Jenifer Gilley email claudastar@xxxxxxxxx MSN: claudastar@xxxxxxx
