How can I keep both computers synced?

I have laptop and tower under XP.  Y at - it an easy way, the two are always mirrored images, if a file is modified on a it is changed on the other so I don't have to spend hours to copy the files until I'm going on a long trip or go home!  Same questions for Outlook, but understand best answer is export and import (incorrect).  "MY Breifcase" used to work well, but not here now.  Thank you

Microsoft SyncToy is a free application that works reasonably well.  If you wait, other people can offer non-Microsoft solutions.

If you go with SyncToy, know that there is a specific SyncToy forum you use for any questions rather than posting questions in the Microsoft Answers forums

    It is relatively simple as you use and that you want to use WLM.

    You will need to copy a folder from where it is (the old installation) to another place where you know it will be (for example on your desktop)

    The folder is c:\users\your user name\app data (if it is not there, see the note below) \local\microsoft\

    At that point you will see a folder named oddly enough "windows live mail" copy on your desktop

    If you don't see the app data because it is invisible atm.  To make it visible, you need to go to your control panel > folder options > view > change to hidden folders (see figure)

    Once you have mail backed up on your desktop (or where ever) drag the folder from the desktop to the location for the new WLM (once again we C;-... just like above).  Just make sure that WLM does not run in time.  What wont be imported, it of passwords and rules.

    Accounts and data should now be in the new WLM when you open it.

  • How can I keep game and separate music Apple iTunes?

    Hello

    How can I keep iTunes game (library iCloud) and Apple music separate on the same Apple ID?

    The last time I tried the Apple music it completely messed my library of music (songs missing, poorly titled songs, unplayable songs, wrong album art, stripped playlists etc etc). But it was at the beginning, at the launch of Apple's music. I like to give him another chance for a month or two, but I really don't want to spend months rebuilding my library again if things go so wrong for a second time.

    I have a back up and this is what saved the last time, but this isn't really the point...

    Hello

    We cannot dissociate iTunes Apple's music game because they both use the same iCloud music library.

    As it has already been associated with your library, the inclusion of Apple's music should be transparent. Music Apple now use the same audio fingerprint matching as iTunes game. The main change you see is access to Apple's music library. Your existing music will continue to be shown as 'matched', 'transferred' or 'buy' but music downloaded music Apple will have a status of ICloud 'Music to Apple'. DRM no longer applies to your own music used on other computers or devices.

    In addition, you can leave your game iTunes subscription expire you will continue to get the same benefits with Apple's music.

    Personally, I've added music Apple when it was introduced and have had real problems, only a few hiccups.

    How to use several devices iPhone, iPad or iPod with a computer

    Using more an iDevice on the same computer

    This mainly applies to couples who add another device and don't want their electronic mail, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To start reading: How to use several iPhone, iPad or iPod devices with one computer. You must create a login separate Apple and password for anyone who will use the new iDevice. See Apple - my Apple ID and frequently asked questions about the Apple ID. The easiest way is to do it on the computer using iTunes: iTunes - how to set up an Apple ID iTunes.

    On the computer, create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This is the user account always uses this person. He or she will no longer use the other user account. This way the person will have a separate iTunes library. Note When finished, do not 'share' apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must buy your own applications under your own Apple ID. When you decide to divide like this you will have to buy new applications they want to use.

    First, transfer the new devices to a new account as well as all your data.  Save pictures of flow picture you want to keep for your camera (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap Albums icon at the bottom. Now press the album My Photo Stream; Press Select; tap the photo you want to select. tap the share (box with the face up arrow) in the lower left corner icon; in the film, and then click Save.

    If you synchronize notes with iCloud, you want to keep, you must open each of your notes and email it to yourself. Later, you can copy and paste the text into the new notes created in your new account.

    Tap Settings > iCloud > remove account (removes it only from this device, not iCloud; the person who maintains the current account is not affected) provide the password to disable find my phone and choose to keep on my iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with another Apple ID to create your new account. Choose merge to download your data.

    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and remove data from the other person to your account.

  • I have a large collection of big slideshows in iPhoto, created over the years with captions from the titles of the photos. How can I keep these slide shows subtitled in Photos?

    I have a large collection of big slideshows in iPhoto, created over the years with captions from the titles of the photos. How can I keep these slide shows subtitled in Photos?

    You can't keep slideshows as captioned photos.  Slide shows get migrated in the form of albums for the Group of photos is maintained.  But Photos don't have the ability to add descriptions to the slide show so that they would have to be manually added to each slide automatically.

    However, a possible solution would be to export every slide show in iPhoto as a Quicktime movie file. Which will keep the titles and descriptions on each slide.  The resulting QT files can be imported into the iPhoto library before migration or photo library after.

  • How can I keep the wargames encroach on the browser on a new tab?

    Firstly, I download and install fire Fox. everything works fine and fast. the second day without any warning a new tab of a site of war games opens automatically... . How can I keep this from happening?

    Is there a model when this happens, for example, when you start Firefox, no matter what time you go to your home page (or open a new window using Ctrl + n), or at random times?

    You can check a few things:

    (1) home page

    Firefox allows several tabs for home page (s). You can see the extra page in the Options dialog box. See: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

    (2) modules

    Unexpected behavior may be caused by unwanted extensions. Try turning off all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any difference?

    (4) Finally, a few weeks ago I jumped inadvertently bookmark 'HEALTH' (I have a bookmarks toolbar), which is excellent (had with WinXP too, now with Win7), but it seems to me to pop, double click or something or other, which blew a folder of bookmarks in the wild blue yonder!

    # 1, is the link to use HTML to simplify the interface?

    Maybe it's that the site stores your preferences in a cookie, and you may have set Firefox to delete the cookie when you quit the browser. There are a few built-in ways to do this:

    • The Firefox value "keep [cookies] until: I close Firefox" on the Privacy Options (you can create an exception for your messaging sites)
    • The value 'Clear history closing Firefox' Firefox on Privacy Options
    • A private browsing window allows to visit the site of your mail

    It is also possible that the modules or external software can clean the cookies, or that there is a problem with the database file Firefox uses cookies to store.

    # 2, you have this problem just started recently? If you find one any relationship with the site content type (for example, pages that use Flash or other media)?

    While Firefox cannot normally is not encroaching on the area of the taskbar, if it's there, sometimes the file that stores the size of Firefox window settings may be corrupted. If necessary, you can delete the file, then Firefox will return to the default toolbar layout and window/size of your position.

    Open your Firefox current settings file - also known as your Firefox profile folder - use:

    On this screen, click on the "view file" button to launch a new window of Windows Explorer that lists your settings files.

    Without close this new window, go to Firefox and output (for example, the Firefox button > file menu or the exit > exit).

    Then please scroll down your settings files and find localstore.rdf. Rename this file to something like localstore.old (in this way, it is always there in case you want to use again).

  • I have favorite Personas, how can I keep my tool bar open to the size of his is when the option of customization?

    I like to see more of the image of the character, by right-clicking the (added) trailed Fox in the toolbar that is located on the right side of my favorites, the customization option appears, and the toolbar drops aprx. 1/4 "more reveling of my characters that I love. How can I keep the best overview of my character... Please...

    A character consists of two images.

    One large image (lightweighttheme-head, 3000 x 200) for the toolbars at the top and a smaller (lightweighttheme-foot, 3000 x 100) to the footer that are stored in the Firefox profile folder.

    A light theme (Persona) covers the part of the user interface of Firefox (the toolbar area) and not the window of the browser with the internet pages.

    You can create additional toolbars to get extra space via "view > toolbars > customize" to see more of the Persona.

    You need to put something on a toolbar (drag an item of top space) before closing the window customize because empty toolbars are automatically deleted.
