I'm moving from windows notebook to MacBook Pro. When teaching I use a USB quality pointer device and want to know it the MacBook works with it

Greetings,
After using only Windows computers at work and home our company leadership now allows us to purchase Mac Pro Books if we desire. I am VERY excited!!!
Both of our sons work as engineers in Silicon Valley and will not purchase anything but Macs for years. Both son's schedules hinder me to get the answers quickly from them so I am seeking advice from you.
I love the idea of finally getting a Mac but have some questions and need to find a source to answer my questions before I send in the request for the new computer. If any of you could respond to these "beginner" Mac questions it would be wonderful.
1. I teach a large variety of classes using Powerpoint style presentations. I own a very nice wireless USB remote that I use to move between slides. Will the ProBook allow me the ability to use my remote? If so is there anything I need to know to make it work?
2. What are the tradeoffs of the 13 inch ProBook versus the 15 inch model?
3. What external devices/equipment should I plan to have available to be effective in an office environment?
4. In moving from Windows to Mac what is the best was to bridge the learning curve so I can become effective as quickly and effectively as possible?
I am very excited to make this change and your advice would be so appreciated.
Blessings,
David

David,
Have you checked the Web site of the manufacturer of your wireless USB remote, to see if their product supports MacBook Pros?
In general, the 13-inch MacBook Pro has less powerful hardware than the 15-inch model. A detailed comparison can be found in the right-hand column of the table here.
Which external devices/equipment do you currently have to be effective in an office environment with your Windows computer? The list is likely to be similar with a computer that runs OS X.
Which applications do you currently depend upon under Windows? That might be the best guide to providing advice on how to best adapt to OS X.

Can't print to a shared printer on 10.6.8 iMac from Windows 7 iMac

I am creating another discussion as I made some changes and hoping PAHU-san will be able to solve this problem. I am using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 iMac and Windows7 iMac. I installed the driver Canon LBP6750 UFRII on each machine and both can print. However, printing from Windows 7 iMac to a shared printer on the Mac OSX 10.6.8 does not print anything and has no errors.
Here are some logs. If you need additional information, please let me know.

PAHU, Thank you for looking into this. I have been working on this for a long time, and hoping that purchasing these two Canon printers are not a mistake. My iMac 10.6.8 is not directly connected to a printer by USB, but through protocol IPP (I have also tested with HP Jetdirect). I am doing this because I would like the iMac 10.6.8 to be a print server and have client machines (iMac 10.6.8 clients and iMac Windows 7) print through the print server. I have tried the following on the iMac 10.6.8 and have the following errors
1. Generic PostScript - prints out strange characters and prints forever
2. Generic PCL Laser -

HT1515 I have moved from windows to mac and had to reset my airport. I am trying it to join the existing wireless network. the process ends in an unexpected error. The ethernet connection seems to work OK

I have moved from windows to mac and had to reset my airport express. After the reset I enter the name of the existing network, name the base unit, enter its password twicw and select additional options as join the existing network. It comes back with a screen asking for the name of the base unit and password. Aftre which it starts cycling between "waiting for airport express", "connecting to 'network name'" and ends with an error message. When I try to set up using ethernet cable evrything works but I need wireless (it worked OK just hours ago). Any advice?
Thank you

Hello, vgafromva.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the AirPort can resolve this issue. However, here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues connecting to Wi-Fi.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply back with the exact error message received.

Form button does not work when a program is moved from Windows 8.2 to Windows 7

Hi,
I have a few Excel programs which use the ODBC to get data from Access and which have macros which writes data to an external program, MYOB.
When the macros tries to write the data to MYOB it fails if I am not running the program in administrator mode.   It seems that Windows 8.2 has a different level of security than Windows 7 and must be run in administrator mode for the ODBC to work.
I have had issues after running the program in administrator mode (testing) if I simply do a save (in administrator mode) and then send it to the customer.   The issue is that it just will not work on the customer's site.   I have gotten
around this in the past by saving any changes, going back out of excel, loading the program again (not in administrator mode) and saving it - before sending it to the customer.   This worked until now.
For some unknown reason, the last time I sent a program to the customer and carried out the above process, the program stopped working. Originally I thought that the macro just wouldn't work on windows 7, but eventually found that it is the form button
that will no longer work when the program is moved from 8.2 to 7.
Does anyone know why there is an incompatibility between 8.2 and Windows 7 and what I should be doing to ensure that my programs work in my customers environment(windows7)?
In the meanwhile, I have changed the form button to an activex button and the program works fine in both environments.
Thanking you in advance,

there is some OP report after Windows update Dec 2014 macro stop responding ( I cant confirm if this is also related to your issue) its because security update for Office maybe conflict with the active-x that you are installed
try to
Close Excel
Start Windows Explorer.
Select your system drive (usually C:)
Use the Search box to search for *.exd
Delete all the files it finds.
Start Excel again
Open that file and save it, and try open at Windows 7
to get more detail about this issue, I suggest also contact Office forum
this case also will be solve installing kb3025036
good luck

How do I move Outlook email from Windows to iMac

I have decided to move from Windows (Vista) to iMac (Mavericks) and need to move all my email from my Windows PC (Outlook 2010) to iMail.
I've found several suggestions on the internet including various software applications for converting from one to the other although most seem to indicate problems with lost emails. Is there a recommended method from Apple which works?
Any help appreciated.
Alan

Moving from Windows Photo Gallery to iPhoto

Hi there,
I have a couple thousand photos I'll be moving to iPhoto when I move to a Mac, and was wondering if anybody knows a painless way to get the metadata from Windows Photo Gallery in Vista across with them. Obviously I could go through and re-tag them all/album them all manually, but if there's a way of dragging albums, captions etc along with them then it'll be much appreciated.
I've tried getting WPG to sort the folder structure for me and do it that way, but I can't find an option to do that with existing (Only with new imports).
Thanks guys!

Just select add when you import them and they will be added right in place. You can use LR to move and rename folders.

Date Formating Issue (moved from Windows to LINUX)

Although the move shouldn't have been an issue, moved an OBIEE installation from Windows to LINUX (Windows is still up) and now have date problems with any drill down into the metrics (SC).

Any Ideas?
Thanks

SCOTT, I suggest checking step-by-step.
a) check the value of the variable
b) check the value of cast(Dates."Start Date" as timestamp)
c) Check the results by substituting those 2 with someone else (regular integers)....

Moving from Windows 7 To Macbook Air OS X

I currently own Elements 12 license on Windows. Am wanting to move all photos and software to Macbook Air. Via chat, they want me to use their monthly 9.99 plan, but not sure I want to do that. Is there a way to simply move my Elements 12 (and also Lightroom) from Windows to Mac? I'm okay with upgrade to 13, but not sure I want to pay extra if I don't have to. Any suggestions? Background: I take a LOT of desert landscape photos, and do minor post adjustments, then upload to Zenfolio for marketing and eventual sale. I'm not fluent in Lightroom, but have used many versions of Elements over the years. Have never used full version of Photoshop CS. Moving over 100,000 images. Uploading less than 1,000 to marketing site. I view, select a few, minor post adjustments, and go. Thanks in advance.

Sure press and hold down the power button on the Mac until it turns off then press that button again to turn it back on. Migration assistant will be killed.

Moving from MacBook to iMac

I am moving to a new iMac but want to keep on using my MacBook. On starting my new iMac do I have to give it the same apple ID / amin etc as the MacBook in order to ensure access to my mail / icloud account, apps etc on the new device ? I do not want to use migration assistant for various reasons.

See Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. IMO, there are no good reasons to use anything but the Setup Assiatant to migrate on first boot.

Transfer iPad Synced from Windows to iMac

I'd like to know if you can sync a iPad that was synced from a Windows based Laptop to a iMac. I just bough an iPad to and want to put the content from the 1st Gen iPad to my 2nd Gen iPad. I wanted to know that if I restore from My 2nd Gen ipad, can I use the restore from my 1st Gen iPad? and if SO....How would i accomplish this.

1. Connect the USB drive to the Mac and open Disk Utility.
2. Select your USB drive in the sidebar and press Erase tab.
3. As Format, choose exFAT or MS-DOS (FAT) and select Erase.
4. Connect it to the PC and transfer the files to the Mac

First sync after moving from windows to mac

Hi,
I just decided that I'm fed up with reinstalling and bought a new iMac (OS X). I've found a lot of posts about moving iTunes and music. But Im still afraid to do the first sync.
What I want to know is what will happen with my contacts and callender?
On the old comp I used to sync the iPhone with outlook.
If I sync now with the new library on the mac, will all my contacts and callender be deleted? Or will they be copied from iPhone to mac?
I also have the old iTunes library on an external hard drive. Is that any help?

If you haven't transferred contacts and calendar events from Outlook on your PC to the Address Book and iCal on your Mac and you don't plan on doing so, before syncing this data on your Mac, enter one unique contact in the Address Book and one unique calendar event in iCal on your Mac. Make this up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync of this data, which you want to select.

Moving From Windows Server to OS X Server

Hello,
I am taking over the control of our on site server for various reasons, mostly prior poor server management. The company that built and managed our Windows server used cheap parts and we have frequent hardware failures.
We are currently looking into moving to a Mac Mini Server. We are a small company with less than 15 employees. Our server hosts our mail, files, and soon it will host a custom built File Maker database.
I think I understand how to set up most everything, my question is how to move our mail from Microsoft Exchange 2010 to the OS X Server without losing any previous emails. We do not use Exchange for address book or any other higher functions, just e-mail. Two employees have custom folders that they would like to keep, the rest just use the standard inbox.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Use an IMAP moving utility.
IMAP moving utilities are pretty simple. They log into two IMAP servers at the same time, and simply block move the messages / folder structure over from one to the other.
The one I have used several times in the past, and can reassure you works very well, is a thing called MoveIMAPMail and is migration utility included as part of the installation of a (pretty good) mail system called Communigate. Communigate has a 'community' license mode, which gives you a license to use it for free for up to five users. So you can download and install the software without problem (from here http://www.communigate.com/main/purchase/).
Installing Communigate (temporarily) messes with any installed mail server software on your machine - which should not be an issue on most client machines, but would have implications for your server. But MoveIMAPMail does not need to run on either the source or destination machine (you can put it on any old machine that can connect to both old and new IMAP servers), so easiest is to install Communigate on some other machine. Communigate is available for a disturbing large number of platforms, so shouldn't be a problem.
Once installed, simply follow the clear instructions for migrating given on the MoveIMAPMail page of the Communigate help system. The utility doesn't care what server software the source or destination servers are running.
N.B. The source server is not affected by the operation of MoveIMAPMail, so you can have serveral goes at the migration if you like, without affecting existing user files etc.
When you have done, all the user accounts and associated mail stacks will have been moved to the new server. Uninstall Communigate and you are in the clear.
If you don't want to use the Communigate utility, there is a sourceforge project claiming to do the same thing, but I've not tried it. But easy enough to test it out I would imagine. Plus if you google, you'll see at least one other PHP based script solution out there.
