Can I use icloud between Mac and Windows devices??

I have over 140 gb of music on my windows desktop pc and will be purchasing an ipad soon. I also have a windows laptop which i'd like to share my itunes library with. My current ipod is a 160 gb classic. I have no problems updating that as long as the laptop/pc/ipad are synced. If I purchase the unlimited icloud storage will I be able to push the music to an Ipad or Iphone?? I'm eventually going to switch my next desktop to a Mac, but the incompatibility of the music collection I've collected over the years is my main deterrent.

No, at the present time Airdrop is not supported on iOS devices.

DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Can't copy music between Mac and Windows

Here's my configuration:
PC: Windows 7, Itunes 10.7
Mac: 10.6.8, Itunes 10.7
Both are on the same minor release, 21
The behavior I'm observing:
I use Home Sharing from both computers, using the same Apple ID on both.
On the PC, I can see the Mac's music library, and I can copy items from that library to the PC. I cannot copy an item from the PC to the Mac
On the Mac, I can see the PCs library listed, but when I click on it, it acts as though it's making a connection, but the connection never completes.
I have attempted to do this with two separate Apple IDs. This worked just fine before the iTunes 10.7 installation.
Any thoughts on what might be going on?

Yes, both are authorized.
I tried exporting the "Library" on the PC (that's where 95% of the tunes are) and imported them onto the Mac and only the tunes that are resident on the Mac show up in the imported list. It does show ALL the playlists but like I said, only those songs that are already resident on the Mac show up.

Useing file between mac and windows

I am new to Flash. My question is this, if I make
presentation in Flash on a Mac, can I save the file and then use
the same file on a Windows laptop for a presentation? I have Flash
on my laptop (Windows) but my boss is having me make the
presentations on the company Mac.
Thank you

Thank you. I did not know that there was soooo much to learn,
even though "they" say it is simple to use.

1 hd with 2 file formats for use between mac and windows?

Think this is the right forum...
I want to instal a program onto an external hard drive for use on both mac and windows. The program supports both mac and windows.
My plan is to get an external hd and partition it in half. One half i will format mac os extended and the other i will format ntfs. I'll instal the mac version on the mac partition and the windows version on the ntfs partition.
This should work i'm thinking, yes? I.e. when i plug it into windows it'll run the windows installation no problem and when i plug it into the mac it'll run the mac installation no problem?
Thanks.

An easier solution might be to just connect the drive to a Windows PC and format it as FAT32. Both Windows (98 and higher) as well as Mac allow full read/write access to FAT32 formatted drives. No need to download any drivers, etc. It just works.
Yes, this solution is not perfect, but none are. The free NTFS drivers for Mac are not most efficient drivers for speed/performance, the HFS+ drivers for Windows are not cheap, and have their own performance issues, and FAT32 has the limit of file sizes over 2GB (or is it 4GB now?) not supported. No one solution is perfect, but for the many one is better than the others, but it all depends upon their circumstances which is "better".

Share files between Mac and Windows in same iMac with boot camp

Hello,
I am new in using Mac and recently I buy a IMac 24" model.
I used to use PC a long time with a lot of old document.
I want to install Windows XP with boot camp.
But I also want to share my documents, music, video files between Mac and Windows in same iMac.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hi Eric and welcome to Discussions and the Apple world.
Mac OSX can read and write from Windows partitions (like the BootCamp Windows partition you are about to create) when using FAT32 as file system for Windows.
However with FAT32 you are limited to a partition size of 32GB.
Mac OSX can also read from Windows partitions that uses the NTFS file system, but it can not write to them unless you use a third-party helper like either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
Windows can not even see or use a Mac OSX partition without additional help by MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

File transfer between Mac and Windows

I am running Windows on my Mac and I transfer files between mac and Windows alot using my external hard drive. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this than having to use my external hard drive like a networking solution or something. Thanks...

i also run windows on my mac (for work). The issue i had was that when booted in osx, i could see the windows partition, and copy files FROM it to the mac side, but i could not copy files TO the windows partition.
As i understand it, this is because the apple NTFS driver (to read the windows partition) only allows read access (not read and write access). It was easily solved with MacFuse (which is an open source way to add different disk file systems to your mac, kind of like teaching it a new language), and NTFS-3G for mac osx.
http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
scroll down a bit for the download link. The installer will put in MacFuse and NTFS-3G, so it's the only one you need.
After a reboot, i can read/write to the windows partition while booted into macosx (and it's free).
i hope that helps.
p.s. the efi boot manager download is NOT required.

Firewire between Mac and Windows

Hi,
I'm having some problems to connect Windows 7 and Mac OS X (10.6.5) with firewire.
I've installed ubcore drivers (from unibrain) on windows to have firewire network drivers.
The network works perfectly between Windows and bootcamp, between Mac and Linux, and in target mode between the MBP and windows. But i've got an error when i try to connect Windows and Mac.
Windows seems to have a new hardware connected, and is searching for drivers that it doesn't find, and Mac gives me an error :
ERROR: FireWire (OHCI) Lucent ID 5901 built-in: handleUnrecoverableErrorInt.
It seems like Mac is not mounting a network connection over the firewire, but something else.
Is there a way to force network mode for firewire ? Or is the problem somewhere else ?

So, i've got my answer.
You can't use firewire between Mac OS X 10.6.5 and Win7. Unibrain doesn't support it, and i can't find any other way to make it work...so you just can't.
So sad :'(

Help: symbol shifting between mac and windows, flash cs3

I'm doing work reviewing flash files created by other users
on mac and windows. I'm using os x 10.5.6. When I open a file
created in windows / flash cs3 some symbols on the stage will have
shifted upwards on the y axis. If I correct the shift and then send
it back to the windows user they see the symbols incorrectly
aligned, as if I had moved symbols around on a correctly aligned
file.
The strange thing is not everything on the stage is shifted.
Only particular symbols will move, and it's usually symbols only
(not text frames, drawing objects, etc).
I believe there's a general history of bad behavior when
saving flash files and trading them back and forth between mac and
windows, but does anyone know what may be causing this? Or a
remedy?
Thank you in advance.
Peter

also, I tried opening the same files in vista using a mac
mini with vista installed on a bootcamp partition. When opening
other windows authored flash files there I had shifting issues as
well, so I'm not convinced it's strictly a mac vs. windows issue.
Unless it's a flash cs3 on windows xp doesn't like mac flash cs3
and vista flash cs3...

Transferring keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Windows

I need to migrate users from Mac (CS 5.5) to Windows 7 (CS 6). I have tried to transfer a user's custom keyboard shortcut set by copying the .indk file to the appropriate folder on the PC, and although it shows up in the list, when I try to select the set I get an error saying it is in the wrong format or the file could be damaged. Is there a way of transferring keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Windows?

Shortcut sets seem to be human-readable text files, so you could try making a copy and doing some editing, changing cmd to ctrl and opt to alt, and change the platform value in the first line to "win" though I can't make any promise it will work.
There are also some known problems trying to migrate legacy sets into newer versions of ID since CS5, I think.

Syncing between mac and windows

I have an issue where I have created files in Adobe Draw (and previously in Ideas) which I have then saved to the Creative Cloud. I open these files in Illustrator on my Mac, save them back to the cloud then open them on a Windows PC. When I save these files on the PC, I get the Unable to Sync Files error message. I have gone through these solutions Error: "Unable to sync files" but no solution applies. If I create a file on my PC, it syncs fine. Is there a known issue when sharing files between Mac and Windows? I can save the files to Dropbox or email them and I don't have this issue. Thanks

Hello,
Would you be able to send me your log files so I can better see what might be causing this issue issue. I will need Logs from both your Mac and Windows machines please.
You can find your log files at...
Mac:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync

Hi, anyone knows how to using airdrop between mac and iPhone 5? My mac was using mavericks and my iPhone was using OS 7. There is airdrop icon in my mac. And already on. But it is searching constantly. Even my airdrop in iPhone already on for everyone.

Yes, you can use it for Mac computer > Mac computer or iDevice > iDevice. It's because they have different operating systems.

Problems using RMI between linux and windows.

I have problems using RMI between linux and windows.
This is my scenario:
- Server running on linux pc
- Clients running on linux and windows PCs
When a linux client disconnect, first time that server try to call a method of this client, a rmi.ConnectException is generated so server can catch it, mark the client as disconnected and won't communicate with it anymore.
When a windows client (tested on XP and Vista) disconnect, no exceptions are generated (I tryed to catch all the rmi exception), so server cannot know that client is disconnected and hangs trying to communicate with the windows client.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, we are implementing a sort of callback using Publisher (remote Observable) and Subscribers (remote Observer). The pattern and relative code is very well described at this link: http://www2.sys-con.com/ITSG/virtualcd/java/archives/0210/schwell/index.html (look at the notifySubscribers(Object pub, Object code) function).
Everything works great, the only problem is this: when a Publisher that reside on a Linux server try to notify something to a "dead" Subscriber that reside on a Windows PC it does't receive the usual ConnectException and so tends to hang.
As a workaround we have solved now starting a new Thread for each update (notification), so only that Thread is blocked (until the timeout i guess) and not the entire "notifySubscribers" function (that contact all the Subscribers).
Beside this, using the Thread seem to give us better performance.
Is that missed ConnectException a bug? Or we are just making some mistake?
We are using java 6 and when both client and server are Linux or Windows the ConnectException always happen and we don't have any problem.
I hope that now this information are enough.
Thanks again and greetings.
O.C.
