Any compatibility issues using MacBook with client's A/V setups geared towards PCs?

I travel giving PowerPoint seminars to US companies. I bring my PC laptop and plug into their projector. I'm considering switching from my 12" ThinkPad to the MacBook Air 13". In that every one of my clients for the past 13 years have used PC machines will I encounter any compatibility problems with clients' PC A/V setups?

Ok, I solved the problem. Thanks to those who at least thought about replying.
For those having the same issue: I found the problem lies in the "hot plug detect" feature of dvi. What I did I just cut the hot plug pin (see wikipedia:dvi) off the dvi adaptor, isn't it clever? Hah, I wouldn't call it "plug 'n play", but at least it works. Then I connect the dvi to the g2400w and set the monitor "hdmi in", then detect displays from display settings, it'll detect it, and then simply i set the monitor to dvi in.

Issues using macbook with bootcamp and external apple monitor

I am having issues using an apple external monitor connected to my macbook with bootcamp - in particular, if i connect the monitor to the computer when the computer is already on, it won't work. Also, when i disconnect the monitor fromt he computer, the computer screen will go black and I'll have to re-start
Anybody experienced the same and can help?
Thx

just make sure that while its standing on its side there aren't any plugs or cables on that side. I'm not familiar with the mb port setup, but having power, two usb, and a display cable could prose a problem for sideward standing if they are on separate sides of the machine.
as the first commenter mentioned the orientation of your computer is irrelevant, but you wouldn't want to have the weight of the laptop sitting ontop of a usb or video plug that's coming out the side.

Should I expect any compatibility issues by working partly under Windows and partly under MAC OS?

Apologies if this point was already raised but could not find the answer.
I am considering the creative cloud in an environment where the same files will be worked within windows and MAC environment.
Should I expect any compatibility issues or difference with such a setup.
thanks in advance.

Hi JLCbac,
Files do support cross platform workflow, however, there are certain limitations to it.
Kindly refer the below mentioned links for more info.

Thanks, Flex harUI, for the direction in regards to isolating build changes. That aside (still working on it), can you offer any direction in regards to my original question on SDK and AIR compatibility? I'm specifically looking for a version compatibility mapping or anything that definitively states, "Flex SDK x.y.z works with the following versions of AIR". This information is crucial for us in order to more specifically plan our own roadmap built upon these two frameworks as we consider both existing installations of our software and future distributions.

Are there any compatibility issues with Captivate and OS X Yosemite?

Has anyone noted any compatibility issues with Captivate and Yosemite?

I had the same issue. Updating resolved this as well.
I tested with Captivate 7 and almost everything seemed to work fine. I tested with an existing project file containing TEB's, Motion recording, a third party drag 'n drop widget, and a playbar with a TOC. This all seemed to work fine both in preview mode as after publishing. I also tested with Captivate 6 although I didn't publish anything. Here, everything seemed to work fine as well. However this was only SWF.
As jpm226 described for 8, previewing HTML5 doesn't seem to work with Captivate 6 and 7 either. Chrome gives a "This webpage is not available" notification. Publishing however, does seems to work.
Fortunately, the client we work for that asks us to use Captivate 7, also asks for SWF output. So I'll continue to use Yosemite for now.

Are there any compatibility issues with Sonos and Airport extreme??

are there any compatibility issues with Sonos and Airport extreme??

Sonos uses its own priopietory wireless protocol SonosNet to distribute audio data among all its products, thus it should not affect other network devices which use standard WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n protocol at all though they may share the same radio channel for wirless signaling.
On my dual-band (5 GHz / 2.4 GHz) Airport Extreme staion, I select the option "802.11n Only (5GHz) - 802.11n (2.4GHz)" and turn on "Use wide channels" in Wireless configuration in order to use only 802.11n protocol and more radio channels to achieve maximum wireless bandwidth of 400 Mbps. This bandwidth is necessary for quick Time Machine backup to NAS connected to the Airport Extreme station through Ethernet cable. So my iMac and MacBook Pro always connected to the Airport Extreme through 5 GHz radio channel with 802.11n protocol whereas my iPhone 4S always connected through 2.4 GHz radio channel with the same protocol.
In my living room Sonos ZP-90 (same as new CONNECT model) zone player is connected to Airport Extreme directly through Ethernet cable (recommended by Sonos) and Sonos S5 (same as new PLAY:5 model) zone player in bedroom is connected wirelessly through SonosNet protocol to the ZP-90 zone player in living room.
These devices are in operation simutaneouly most of the time. Music is playing through the Sonos ZP90/S5 zone players througout the day, I am streaming viedo through Internet (fibre broadband 25 Mbps) on my MacBook Pro in bedroom or iMac in living room or reading news on my iPhone. So far so good and have no encounter any interference problem for about three years. Further more bandwidth for 802.11n protocol does not seem to be affected at all.
In fact with a low power Fujitsu USB drive (2.5" / 500 GB, designed for notebook) plug into USB port of Airport Extreme, it can be used as NAS drive for Sonos music distribution system without any problem. Just transfer all files from Music folder in my home directory on iMac into this NAS drive and set it up as music source in "Manage > Music Library Settings" in Sonos Controller for Mac application will do. Though the same drive can be served as Time Machine's backup disk as well, an independent full-fledged NAS drive for Sonos and Time Machine backup is better long-term solution for reliability and performance. With the NAS configured as sole music source, you do not need to keep any computer powered on all the time in order to play music through the Sonos system.

I am frequently unable to join the internet or it runs very slowly. I have a Time Capsule in my LAN. Are there any compatibility issues with Time Capsules and any ISPs?

I am frequently unable to join the internet or, if I can, it is exceptionally slow. The ISP says nothing is wrong ontheir end. Are there any compatibility issues with any ISPs when using Time Capsule and/or iMacs?

Tried this several times to no avail. I believe it is the ISP causing the problem...Time Warner.

Seagate ST8000AS0002 8TB 5900RPM 128MB Cache SATA3 - for Backup Data Only. Are there any compatibility issues with an older 3,1 Apple Mac Pro 8-Core 2.8GHz (4-Core x 2) ?

Finally mass storage drives are being released. The Seagate ST8000AS0002 8.0 TB 5900RPM has just been released in Australia and I was advised to check on any compatibility issues, being that my 3,1 Mac Pro is an old, but working fine machine.
I have read there are possible issues with using HDs greater than 2TB with the MP 3,1 . But checking with OWC, they say the Seagate 4.0 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive is compatible for use with the MP 3,1.
So can the hardware and operating system handle an 8.0 TB of this sort ?

The problem is with formatting the large disk. The Mac can see and use them if formatted for a Mac
Format large disks
That bug appeared in 10.8.4, and has not yet been fixed.
using a Disk Utility from any older Mac OS X, including the 10.6 DVD (if your Mac can boot from it) or any saved Installer DVD or thumb drive will work.
Another work-around is to move that drive to an external enclosure and Erase it there (provided your enclosure is modern enough to deal with drives over 2.2TB.

Are there ANY compatibility issues with Itunes 12.0.1 and Mavericks? Don't want to download Yosemite. Not hearing good things about it.

Are there ANY compatibility issues with Itunes 12.0.1 and Mavericks? Don't want to download Yosemite. Not hearing good things about it. I'm on Mavericks 10.9.5.

one obstacle, quickly removed. thank you.
nomenclature aside for a moment, 10.6.8 is correct but maybe more is necessary about the MacBook Pro: it is 'old': Identifier: 1.2, Intel Core Duo, 2.16 GHz, 1 Processor, L2 2 MB, RAM 2 GB.
i hope that is enough to get an answer to this: is it unadvisable to update its OS; in other words, if i update to 10.9, will the machine be able to handle it, 'speedwise'?

Can I easily upgrade my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo to the new quad intel i7? any compatibility issues?

Can I easily upgrade my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo to the new Quad intel i7 processor? any compatibility issues?

Not only can it not be done easily... it can't be done at all. For starters, the processor is soldered to the logic board and it is not replaceable. However, even if the processor were removable, the new quad core i7 processor is not compatible with the chipset used in your current system. The new processors use an entirely new chipset. The new processors also have an integrated GPU on the processor. Your current chipset wouldn't have any idea how to deal with that. Basically... apart from the fact that you just can't remove the processor, there are a significant number of hardware incompatibilites between the new processors and the logic board in your current machine.

EVGA nForce 680i SLI / X-FI Xtreme Gamer Fatality...any compatibility issu

Recently ordered a system with these components and was wondering if there were any compatibility issues. Seems like this card has a lot of problems...should have done more research...

In all seriousness, return the card. Do it NOW because you still have the chance to. Don't wait until it's too late.
Then after that, if you are curious why I say that, do some searches about other issues everyone is having and Creative not being very responsi've.
Search (either here or use Google for external websites) for "ha20x2k.sys" and "BSOD" (or a combination of both). "Crash" and "BF242" or even other games such as WoW and CoH - just be (pun not intended) creative.
Don't be like the others here (like myself), who own a very expensi've paper weight. Sure you can continue to use it for listening to music, but that's like buying a sports car and just being able to use the stereo.Message Edited by naddie on 04-2-200706:54 AM

Any possible issues using Captivate 4 on Vista 64-bit OS?

Hi:
Looking to order a new PC and load up on ram for Captivate 4 and some other applications I am using.
I realize Captivate 4 is not certified for use on a Vista 64 bit OS, but I am wondering if I will run into a bunch of performance issues or what your experience may be using C4 on a 64 bit machine. I heard it is possible to force Captivate 4 to run as a 32bit application, but I don't know specifically how to do it.
Any feedback is appreciated.

None that I found. I worked with adobe for a while and they sent me a couple of patchs that were supposed to fix the problem, and while I eventually could record audio, I never was able to edit it. Adobe eventually lost interest and stopped responding to my requests. I think it has something to do with Vista becasue I am running xp on a brand new 64bit Mac at home and it works fine.

I have the same problem on 64-bit Vista - the audio editor will not even open. Is there a solution to this?

Any Examples of using ActiveCollectionModelDecorator with POJO data control

Are there any Examples of using ActiveCollectionModelDecorator with POJO data control in any of the sample packs?

OK, here's an quick example. Create a new Windows Forms application and add a ScatterGraph and a Label to the form. Add a cursor to the ScatterGraph, then add the code below to the form. This generates 50 random data points when the form is loaded and plots them, then uses the cursor's AfterMove event to display the current X and Y positions in the label. Here's the code:
Private Sub OnFormLoad(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Const dataLength As Integer = 50
Dim xData(dataLength - 1) As Double
Dim yData(dataLength - 1) As Double
Dim rnd As Random = New Random
For i As Integer = 0 To dataLength - 1
xData(i) = i
yData(i) = rnd.NextDouble() * 10
Next
ScatterGraph1.PlotXY(xData, yData)
End Sub
Private Sub OnAfterMoveXYCursor(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As NationalInstruments.UI.AfterMoveXYCursorEventArgs) Handles XyCursor1.AfterMove
Label1.Text = String.Format("({0}, {1})", e.XPosition, e.YPosition)
End Sub
Hope this helps.
