How to Change the Password in Mac Mail


Change your email account password on the mail server. For most Web-based email services, like Gmail or Outlook.com, you can do this online by logging in to your account and changing the password for your profile. If you use iCloud email, its password is the same as your Apple ID, so log in to the Apple ID website (see Resources) and follow the onscreen instructions to change your Apple ID password. If it's an email account at work, contact your network administrator for guidance.
Launch the Mail app on your Mac computer. Mail asks you to enter your new password as soon as it tries to connect with the mail server. Enter the new password as prompted and click 'OK.' In most cases, this is all you have do do.
Click the 'Mail' menu and select 'Preferences' if you accidentally hit 'Cancel' when changing your password or if you disabled the account in Mail. Click the 'Accounts' icon, select the email account you want to change and then click the 'Account Information' tab. Delete the dots in the Password field and enter the new password. Click the red 'Close' button in the upper-right corner. The new password is saved automatically.

How to Fix a MacBook Spacebar (9 Steps)


Take the 'C', 'M' and 'Command' keys off the keyboard. Place your fingernail under the key and carefully lift it up until it unclips itself. Removing these keys will give you more space to remove the space bar and clean.
Press the lower half of the space bar firmly. The upper half will be higher than the other keys on the keyboard.
Press the upper side of the space bar firmly. The lower half will then be higher than the other keys. The change in height will cause the metal bars to unhook themselves from the space bar, and coincidentally unclip the two metal tabs. You may need to do this more than once to get each piece unclipped; you will hear a distinctive click.
Press the left side of the space bar until you hear a click. This means the left white clip is undone.
Press the right side of the space bar until you hear a click. Then press the center of the space bar until you hear a click. At this point, all the clips and hooks will be undone.
Pull the space bar away from the keyboard carefully.
Use a cotton swab or cleaning wipe to clean the now-exposed area of the keyboard. Wipe the space bar key clean as well, since sticky substances and crumbs can get stuck to it.
Place the space bar back on the keyboard in the correct location and click it in place.
Replace the 'C', 'M' and 'Command' keys.

How to add and remove icons from Mac's dock (3 Steps)


Add a program to your Dock by opening your Applications folder, then dragging the icon that corresponds to the application to the Dock itself. Click and hold the icon, then drag it to the Dock and hover over it momentarily. You can move your mouse to set where the icon will show up--the other icons in the Dock will move to make room for it. When you are satisfied, release the mouse and the icon will remain there.
Change the options of a program that is already running by right-clicking on the icon (for single-button mice, press the 'Ctrl' key and click), hover over 'Options,' then click 'Keep in Dock.' The icon will remain in the Dock until you choose to remove it.
Remove an icon from the Dock by clicking and holding it, then dragging it off the Dock onto a blank part of your screen and releasing your mouse. The icon will vanish in a puff of smoke-literally. The icon will not reappear in your Dock unless you open the program via another shortcut, and it will not remain there unless you right-click to change its options.
