Hi there, I've had a MacBook Pro for a while and had been syncing my iPhone to it, and just got an iMac. I'd like to start syncing to the iMac (as well) so that I can have copies of all my stuff on all 3 devices. Is this possible? AppleCare tech support says "no" but I don't see why it...

I am deeply concerned about what I read in the links that this post led me to. It seems that some of the most important concerns can actually be answered through compromise with Apple. In the community of upset developers, are there any who have the ear of someone at Apple? I think the...

Hi there, I am doing a project in which I'm circulating some sensitive material via PDF files. Ideally, I'd love it if the PDF file could expire so that the sensitive material wasn't hanging out on people's computers forever. (the material isn't life or death sensitive-- but it would be...

Hi there, I'm setting up a shared volume which several people (Mac and PC users) will access. I'd love it if certain people could be notified by email when a folder on that volume is modified, like so: Main Folder subfolder 1 <-- notify smithj@yahoo.com when modified...

Hi there, I tried to have my company's Mac admin replicate a folder which has read/write privileges WITHIN the folder.. but not of the folder name, and with no ability to delete the entire folder. A user should be able to copy stuff into the folder, modify and delete anything within the...

Anyone know whether Apple's licensing of Active Sync will allow Macs to utilize the relationship to talk to Exchange?
