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 Set Up a PS3 Controller With GamePad Companion on a Mac


Open a Web browser and navigate to tattiebogle.net. Click the 'Projects' link, followed by the 'PS3 Controller' link. Click the 'Version 0.01' link to download the PS3 controller driver.
Double-click the driver .dmg file to mount the image. Double-click the package install file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the driver onto the computer.
Connect the PS3 controller to the computer via the USB connection cable that came with your PS3 system. Click the 'Apple' icon in the computer's menu bar and select the 'System Preferences ... ' option.
Click the 'GamePad Companion' icon beneath the Other heading to open the GamePad Companion preferences window. The PS3 controller will appear beneath the Devices Found heading.
