2 inDesigns one one computer. Mac and windows operating systems

i have a creative cloud membership through my company and we work on a IMac but a particular program we use called DirectSmile, only works on the windows side in conjunction with inDesign. We have Parallels installed on our computer and a creative suite installed on the Mac side of one computer. Can i get inDesigned installed on the Windows side of this one computer. Basically, Can in get 2 versions on inDesign installed on one computer? One for the Mac operating system and one for the Windows operating system?

Presuming you haven't already installed and activated a second time on some other computer....

Can i back up my mac and windows operating system on the one hard drive?

Hello everyone, i use a 4TB external hard drive to back up my imac. I recently installed Parallels and Windows 8.1 so I can run a PMS for my business. Now that i have installed Parallels and windows 8.1 on the mac can i format the drive so it will back up the mac and the windows operating system? Thanks!

If you want to back up with Time Machine, you need a GUID partition table and an HFS (Mac OS X) partition. If you can also create a Windows partition without destroying the partition table, then you can use the same drive for both systems. I can't give you specific instructions for Windows.

VM Fusion and windows operating systems on mac

I have VM Fusion on my mac book pro in annticipation of using windows xp or windows 7 on my macbook. Do I need to need to purchase the operating system for windows and the application, such as MS office?

Virtualization software provides you with virtual hardware only. You still need to provide your own OS and applications to run on that OS. Not all OSes cost money (Linux is a good example of a free OS). Depending upon your OS choice, you may or may not need to pay money to get the applications you wish to run there.
In general Microsoft products are not free, but you can generally get a 90-180 day evaluation copy for "free". That copy is generally good for a certain amount of time, then it stops working and you need to pay them for a license to keep using it.

HT1218 i have a windows 8 computer that is not connecting with my time capsule wifi. my other macs and windows 7 systems do connect. is this a firmware update glitch? any suggestions?

I have a windows 8 computer that is connecting poorly via wifi and my Apple time capsule to the internet. My IMac an another windows 7 based computer are connecting fine. This started 6 days ago. And, the windows 8 machine connects well via a hard Cat-5 connection to the time capsule (I'm using that now) and worked well on a wireless netgrear system over the weekend.
I'm thinking an automatic firmware update may have caused this or perhaps i need the time capsule to use something other than a default address. Those are just guesses, but I could sure use some help. Thank you.

It is hard to figure where the issue is..
Certainly if windows updated the wireless driver that can mess things up no end..
What update happened 6days ago?
What TC do you have.. ?? If it is flat one and you updated to 7.6.4 do a factory reset and reconfigure.
If that doesn't work roll the firmware back to 7.6.1 or even 7.5.2 as these are generally superior to windows.
There is no update for TC gen5 yet.

How to transfer video clips to a computer running a Windows operating system.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Turn on the computer.
While the camera power is off, connect it to the computer using the supplied USB cable.
Make sure the camera is using a fully charged battery pack or connected to an optional AC power adapter and that it is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
NOTE: Avoid using a battery pack with little remaining charge because transferring may fail or image data might be corrupted if the battery pack shuts down too soon.
Make sure media with the recorded video is inserted in the camera.
Turn on the camera.
NOTES:
On the LCD screen, a USB indicator will display during and after the communication session.
If this is the first time the camera has been connected to the computer, the computer should automatically install the appropriate USB driver at this time.
Transfer the pictures or videos to the computer using one of the following methods:
Use the Import pictures and videos option.
In the AutoPlay window, click Import Pictures and videos using Windows.
In the Import Pictures and Videos window, click Import Settings.
In the Import Settings window, click the Browsebutton.
Click to select the location on the computer where you want to copy the movie files (for example My Videos).
Click the OK button.
In the Import Pictures and Videos dialog box, click the OK button.
Click the Import button.
Use Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
Using PMB version 4.3 or older
Using PMB version 5.0 or later
Copy and paste the video files from the Removable Disk window that represents the camera.
Open the My Computer or Computer window on the computer.
In the My Computer or Computer window, double-click the icon that represents the camera.
Click to select the appropriate camera folder that contains the video or picture files you want to transfer.
The DCIMfolder (if available) contains still picture .JPG, or .ARW files and .AVI video files.
The MP_ROOTfolder (if available) contains standard and high-definition .MP4 video files.
The AVCHD folder (if available) contains high-definition .MTS video files.
NOTE: Depending on your camera and the type of footage recorded, not all the files or folders above may be displayed.
On the computer keyboard, press CTRL+C to copy the camera folder and its contents.
Browse to the location on the computer where you want to copy the picture or video files, such as the My Pictures or My Videos folder.
Press CTRL+V to paste the camera folder and its contents into the computer folder you selected in the above step.
NOTES:
Movie player software must support the MPEG-4 format to playback standard or high definition .MP4 recordings.
Movie player software must support the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format to playback high-definition .MTS recordings.
Refer to the developer of your movie player software for information about file format compatibility.
For the video to be viewable in the PMB software, the folder where the videos or pictures were saved must first be registered in the software. Information about how to register folders is available in the PMB Guide in the Help section of the software.

Autorun for CDs run on both Mac and MS operating systems?

Hello,
I have built a website that runs from CD-ROM. In the root directory of the site it contains three extra files which enable the disc, when it is inserted into the CD drive, to fire up the web browser (on my computer this is Internet Explorer 6), open the HTML home page of the CD website, and change the CD drive's icon to an icon of my choice. To do this, I use a self-executable file called "runner". All of this works OK on any Microsoft Windows platform, but not on any Mac OS.
The three files are:
autorun.inf
runner.exe
An icon file (say, "myicon.ico")
(The icon file isn't compulsory - it can be left out if not required.)
The "autorun.inf" file can be opened in Notepad, and the text contents changed and saved to account for the name of the HTML web page that needs to be opened first in the web browser (in this case, "index.htm"). The text in "autorun.inf" therefore looks like this, containing three lines of text:
[autorun]
open=runner index.htm
icon=myicon.ico
"Index.htm", in the above case, is in the same directory as "runner.exe" (i.e. the root directory of the CD drive).
Is there anything I can do, perhaps with the addition of some sort of Mac-compliant file, so that the CD will self-start in the way described above, regardless of whether it is run in Windows or a Mac OS?
Thanks,
RMS-link

You can't get a CD to autorun on a Mac in the same way you can on a PC.
What you can do is to get the CD to automatically open a disc window. So that users can then just double click and open the index file.
You can modify the auto window size and look quite easily as well.
In order to do this you will need however to create a hybrid disk, Toast can do this quite easily.

Creative Cloud both on Mac and Windows on a second computer

Is it possible to use Creative Cloud both on Mac and Windows on a second computer with one license? At home I work with Mac, and out I work with Windows.

In 2.1.5 of the Software License Agreement it says that you have to own tow separate licenses if you use Mac and Windows on one computer. Is this not also the case if you have two computers, one operating with Mac and one operating with Windows?
2.1.5 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. Customer
must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of example,
if Customer desires to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms on a
device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then Customer must first obtain two separate
licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a different operating
system platform, are delivered to Customer on the same media.

InDesign Mac and Windows troubles

Hi,
We got 2 different shares on our Windows Server. One share for InDesign documents and one share for pictures. The pictures are used in the InDesign documents.
We use InDesign CS6 for Mac and for Windows. If we create the InDesign documents on a Mac and open it on a Windows InDesign the picture links are broken. Same thing happens when we create the InDesign documents on Windows and open it on a Mac. Between 2 Macs or 2 Windows computers there isn't any problems.
If both the InDesign document and the picture we link to is on the same server share there's no problems too.
Shouldn't it be possible to edit the same InDesign documents on both Mac and Windows without breaking the links when they are stored on different shares?
Thanks!
Best regards
Brian

Sounds like either a problem with the path separators (Mac style vs. PC style), or possibly the network protocol used to link to the server on the Mac side.

I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.

This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer. I hung up because I don't believe Mac uses Microsoft Window Operating System - right?

This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer. I hung up because Mac doesn't use Microsoft Window Operating System - right? I have Mac OS X. I have loaded Microsoft Office 2011. Can that allow something malicious or is this guy a scammer and I was right to hang up???

Actually you can install Windows on your MBP via Bootcamp.
You should have kept the individual on the phone for as long as you can tolerate. The time he wastes with you is time he cannot spend scamming an innocent victim.
You can always politely ask the caller to hold while you 'answer the front door' or the like and just set down the phone and go about your business. The caller will eventually hang up.
But your analysis was 100% correct.
Ciao.

i wish to del one apple id and make one common for mac and i phone, please suggest

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you just stop using it. Understand that any apps purchased using that ID can only be updated with it. Apps are tied that ID used to purchase them. If you want to use a new ID for everything, you will need to repurchase any old apps using the new ID.

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

Check that the serial you are using is the correct one..
Typically the problem is either you are misreading the serial and therefore typing it in wrong. Check you are correctly entering zeros or O.. and so on....
or...
You bought the LP9 upgrade version.... which requires the LP8 full serial as well.
If it is the LP9 upgrade serial.. (and not the LP9 full serial) you must enter your original LP8 full serial first and then the upgrade serial for LP9.. when it asks for it.
Failing that.. you can obtain a replacement serial from Apple.. using this form.....

Best external hard drive format for use with mac and windows?

This is more of an apple operating system combined with windows operating system question, but being that my OS will upgrade an fluctuate there is not option to choose in the operating system section.
Anyways to the question(s)
This whole prbolem came about when my computer started having issues, I want to back it up and whether I can continue to use my laptop or not I will still be owning an apple in the future. I went to buy a hard for back up and got told that it is not as easy as one would think to transfer files from mac OS to windows OS and vice versa. I have a mac, my boyfriend has a windows computer; we share files. Mostly I just copy his files, but once in a while I give him files too. I have read up and talked to people and only found one solution so far to format the external drive to fat 32 or exfat. I think only mac has the exfat option, but works well between both OSs, correct me if I am wrong.
What is the difference between fat 32 and exfat?
A user posted some good info about formatting. More specifically .Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3044
If I do not want to use fat32 or exfat is there a format type that works great for mac saving that I can still at least save files to that were originally on a windows computer? Such as I copy his files from his external drive to my computer and then save them to my external drive.
Is there a better format for file sharing between mac and windows that does not set a 4GB limit?
And a silly question, Can you dual format a hard drive?
Note: This format is for an external hard drive.

I still do not know which format would be the best. That is so that I can use it easily between mac OSX and windows. Is FAT32 the only true option? How limited is it? I heard it is limited to 4GB file size for windows and 32 GB for Mac. Are there other sources I have not found with more concrete information on the limitations of this format?
I really do still need this information and I need to back up my drive before I can take the computer in for service.

HT1678 How do I synch/download photos from my iPod classic to my computer, which has a Windows operating system? Thanks.

I am trying to download photos from my iPod to either an external hard drive or my computer, which has a Windows operating system. The iPod should function like an external hard drive, right? My photo files/computer/hard drive were damaged. Can I put my photos on the iCloud, and then save on external drive? Not sure how to o this either. I lost a few years of baby photos. Thanks for any help!

iTunes syncing to iPods (that are not iPod touch) mostly goes one way, from computer to iPod. For photos, at the time you synced the photos to the iPod, there is a setting that you needed to have enabled in iTunes if you later want to recover them from the iPod. This setting is on the iPod's Photos tab in iTunes (where you set up photo syncing). There is a checkbox for Include full-resolution photos.
IF that checkbox was checked, you can Enable disk use on the iPod's Summary tab, and find the full-res photo files in the Photos folder on the iPod. Otherwise (if setting not checked), when iTunes syncs the photos to the iPod, iTunes converts the images to a very low-resolution version that is optimized to fit the small iPod screen and stores the image data in a single database file (to save storage space). There may be third-party software that can extract separate photos from that database file, but the resulting photos will look bad blown up to computer screen size.
