The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.10/23/09
I subscribe to about a dozen podcasts, many of which have new content daily. And, I like to sync them with my iPhone every morning. My question is, how can I get them to sync overnight, so they are waiting on my computer in the morning?

Hi,
I’m a new MacBook Pro user and tried to find the answer on my own to no avail.
How do I e-mail a picture from iPhoto through my GMail account? I see how to easily do it using MacMail, but I’m not set up for that, nor do I want to.
Thanks in advance,
Vicky
