my Apple mail program keeps asking me to enter my password repeatedly throughout the day. Why can't it be entered for once and stay open?
I have my mail set up to receive Yahoo accouts mail via the apple mail program (stamp icon).
Even though I type in my Yahoo password for each of the 2 Yahoo accounts when I first open the program - by clicking on the stamp icon, I get a screen repeatedly asking me to enter the password.
Why do I keep getting asked to enter the password and how do I enter it only once and it stay open? In other words, why does the system keep locking me out on my own computer repeatedly?- Asked by Michael L from Los Angeles

Best webcam for mac mini?
Has anyone found a good webcam for use with a mac mini? I would prefer to be able to capture video directly in iMovie, without having to buy a thunderbolt display, and it seems like I wouldn't be able to do that with any of the webcams currently on the market.

Which 13 inch Macbook Pro?
I am looking to buy my first macbook, and I want good processing. I do a lot of internet surfing and documenting, along with mulitudes of other stuff... And I'm on a budget so I cant be too spendy. I watch a LOT of downloaded movies and have a lot of songs. So basicly I would like to know what amount of ram, what amount of GHz, what core, and what hard drive to get. Any answers in the future, I thank you.

AnswerFrom what you have described I would recommend the 13" Macbook Pro with 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 with the 750Gb hard drive option. Here is why, it will be much cheaper than the retina macbook pro and with far more hard drive space as the retina only has 128 Gb standard. Next you will also be able to upgrade the non retina macbook pro in the future if needed while the retina MBP is non upgradable, its how you get it from the factory. The Solid state drive in the rMBP is not worth it for what you do and the added speed is not a dealbreaker for what you will use your new laptop for. Hopefully this helps you make your decision.

what is mountain lion & snow leopard ?
Sorry guys, I am just looking at buying an Imac, but don't know anything abut them ??

Best AnswerMountain lion and snow leopard are different updates of the computer operating system, OS X. Mountain lion is the name given for OS 10.8 and Snow Leopard is the name given for OS 10.6, with Lion in the middle at OS 10.7.
But if you buy a new iMac, it should come with the latest version of the operating system, which is Mountain Lion, currently at 10.8.2. And if it is running Snow leopard or higher, than you can upgrade online by opening the "App Store" on the iMac and buying and downloading the upgrades to get to the latest release.
Of course, if you are buying an older iMac, then double check which version of the operating system is the highest one that will run on that machine. Each new version has system requirements that an older machine may not meet.- Answered by Larry S from Brookline

iPhone 5 or a Macbook Air?
Hey guys. I need some more help about another decision. So, a few days ago my father popped up randomly (Monday). We hardly talk but he does get me anything I want. So, my mother told me to tell him what I wanted for my birthday, or Christmas. So, I bought my current laptop downstairs to show him what I wanted for my birthday - It was the Macbook Air. He asked how much he would be out of, and I said the price. He said he would be better off getting me a iPhone... so I thought that was a good decision until I thought what my sister was talking about. Below are some cons and pros I came up with. By seeing my cons and pros, you can tell me which one needs to be my final choice.
Macbook Air: Cons ;
I already have a laptop, but it's worth nothing anymore.
Macbook Air; Pros ;
It will work better than my current laptop.
I have been wanting a Macbook Air forever.
I want a backlit keyboard.
iPhone: Cons ;
I don't talk on the phone a lot.
The bill is going to be 85 dollars including my mom's cell phone and the house phone.
I already have an iPod touch, but thinking about giving it to my cousin.
iPhone: Pros ;
I can txt whenever I want and wherever I want.
So, as you can see, the Macbook has little Cons and 2 Pros. Now, my current laptop my mouse doesn't work, and some of the parts are falling off. Whatever you do, don't get a Toshiba laptop. My cousin had one, and she went over to the another laptop... I think the Samsung? I'm not sure.
If you can, please give me some details about these items too. I'll reply when I get the chance. Thank you.- Asked by Jamare L from Leighton

Best AnswerHey.
I highly prefer a Macbook Air.
As I can see you are saying that your laptop is at a dying state or a leave it "away side", I would prefer a Air against that.
Now Against the iPhone I highly prefer you get a MBP air , because it has a processor which is better then the iPhone 5 and it is much stable, it has i5 processor which is dual core. the iPhone 5 has a quad-core but it can not perform that well as a intel one, and it is specially built for a phone.
MBP air ultra light and it can survive most of the stuff running on a computer. It is capable of having a parallel OS, so you can run windows as well on boot camp or third party parallel softwares.
You were adding up the text thingy, that you could text when ever you want with an iphone" Apple has developed a new app called iMessages, you can send message to any Apple to Apple product which is compatible for it. Obviously you need WIFI for it, and you need that with the iPhone as well (with iPhone you can text without wifi, but if you use the iMessages free Apple to Apple text then you need Wifi)
you are also saying you do not talk that much on a phone, so I could not see any need of it, as both of the items gives you the portability.
If you are looking for buying a gadget running iOS, I would head for the iPad 3, I am pretty sure the 4th is coming soon but do not know when.
The MBP air´s CPU (processor) has a availability for having a 2.0 ghz upgrade as well if you customise it. And you can choose between 11 inch and 13 inch (the specs difference is the flash drive).
If your father buys you nearly every thing you point at, then I prefer a Macbook pro Retina. It has weight of 4 lbs, but the specs are awesome. it is easy to carry and fits a daily school books bag, with a laptop pocket. Look it up on the Apple site!- Answered by Samad G

Is Macbook Air 64GB better?
I am in 7th grade and will probably be using this laptop into high school (probably until college, mostly.) I am also purchasing this laptop by myself. I will use it for documents, web searching, making pictures, and the occasional movie/movie trailer on iMovie. Does this sound good? I will probably delete files every year or two for maximum space, but would I still run out too quickly?

Burning DVD's & CD's on Macbook Pro Retina
I am about to purchase a macbook pro and am wondering about creating CD's and DVD's. I know that I need an external superdrive with the retina display. Is this all I need to be able to create and burn a DVD or a CD as I will have to do this as part of my job.
Thanks!- Asked by Renee W from Ormeau Hills

- Asked about: Apple USB SuperDrive
Best AnswerDepends what you mean by "create DVD's or CD's" - The MacBook Pro with Retina Display comes with inbuilt software to let you do the basic functions (for example, burn music to a CD from iTunes, or iDVD, which lets you create DVD's from certain video files on your Mac) - for more complicated operations, such as copying DVD's or CD's, you will need additional software like Toast.

- Asked about: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
AnswerYou probably meant to say you need 10.6.8 or higher (10.8.2 is the highest available version of 10.8, so nothing can currently require 10.8.8). If so, just go to the Apple menu and select Software Update and your 10.6.6 will be updated to 10.6.8.
