AUTOCAD FOR MAC

autocad for mac book pro

AutoCAD for MAC works great on the LAPTOP SCREEN ONLY on my Late 2011 MBP with 8GB RAM. It is locked to the Laptop Screen and will not move to the connected 30" Cinema Display.
Caveat: I would much rather use all MacPro's, but sadly Autodesk is a crap company. They buy other great companies, pick apart their great software, give it to marketing, and split it into 3 applications that don't even like eachother. (REVIT, ALIAS, MAYA, INVENTOR, and more)... Most function under Boot Camp, most are at best a hassle under parallels, although they claim in works perfectly. Essentially, until Autodesk has had a new acquisitions product for 2 to 3 generations, it is going cause hair-pulling. When they finally convert it to their "somewhat" unified interface, it will always fail on Service Pack 1, and finally work again on Service Pack 2 - This is a big deal, as they are trying to create a universal "Materials and Products" database, and often, installing a new Autodesk product, or applying a service pack breaks the entire database for all applications, causing a huge headache. They are losing so much market to the competition, they are buying up the little guys, and rapidly releasing no-new-features, break-your-current-installs annual updates. The ONLY bonus - so many engineers are fed up with needing 10 products to conquer 1 problem, that Autodesk is being forced to reduce their prices by about 70% to stay in the running, and more price cuts are on the horizon.

Video Conversion Software for Mac

Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend a good powerful package for converting various video formats for Mac?
Thanks in advance!

Keep the PC.
Compressor is an encoder, not necessarily a universal transcoder. Look for products by Sorenson, Telestream and Autodesk. Spendy.
You're not going to be happy with Quicktime's remarkable limitations and the lack of third party support for all of those different formats and codecs. Hundreds of codecs were never written for QT.
Use your PC to wrangle the clips into a common format and then port the file to your Macintosh for editing in FCP.

NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac H3314LL/A

NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac $1,199.95
http://store.apple.com/us/product/H3314LL/A
256 CUDA cores
2GB of high-speed memory
GPU accelerated professional applications DaVinci Resolve, Autodesk Smoke and Mathworks Matlab
# Experience native Quadro professional 3D graphics performance when running Windows based applications using Boot Camp
# Low-power, single-slot design allowing for up to two cards
Install CD with graphics and CUDA drivers
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-4000-us.html

Interesting; so as of today, the 5870 got a 'ADD NOW' and '1-click BUY' button. Just like the Quadro 4000, you can now actually order it.
Availability has not changed from 'currently unavailable' however....
Hatter, to my previous post; I realize that the Quadro will greatly accellerate certain tasks and apps; and for CUDA sensitive apps, it looks great.
But I am worried about this being also a day to day card; playing WOW or other things after work is done.
The raw SPEED of the Quadro is clearly much less than a GTX 285, or a 5770/5870:
Quadro 4000:
Memory Bandwidth: 89.6 GB/s
Core Clock: 375 MHz
Memory Clock: 700 MHz
at a max W of 142 (power)
GTX 285 (Mac version - which was slightly underpowered):
Memory Bandwidth: 159 GB/s
Core Clock: 648 MHz
Memory Clock: 1242 MHz
at a max W of 204 (power)
5870:
Memory Bandwidth: 153.6 GB/s
Core Clock: 850 MHz
Memory Clock: 1200 MHz
at a max W of 188 (power)
Based on these specs, applications which don't take advantage of the Quadro's specific accelleration should be markedly slower than with the consumer cards, wouldn't they?
Best,
Dan

Opening animated gif in PSE 8 for Mac

I am switching from PSE for PC to PSE 8 for Mac.
I have always been able to open animated gif as layers and work with them, then resave as an updated animated gif.
WIth PSE 8 for Mac, I get a pop up that the file is animated and can only see the top frame. Any ideas on how to open up all of the frames in layers?

Do I need to enable this process for my Mac? Maybe I'm missing a plug-in or update?
I have been opening these files from others, tweeking and resaving for almost 2 years in PSE. It definitely will not shuffle the individual panels on an animated gif into the layers box.
My tweeking usually involves adjusting frame speed. Is that what you mean by 'frame rate'?
Thank you for your help.

How do i add multiple lines in a cell (like a list) in Excel for MAC?

I'm trying to add multiple lines (in the form of a list) in a individual cell in Excel for MAC. I used ALT Enter on my PC but that doesn't work on the iMac. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

It's been a while but I think you hold SHIFT while typing a page break (RETURN) to make a new line without shifting to another cell.
However, as Excel isn't an Apple product, I am sure you will get a faster and more current answer by using Microsoft's Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
They are very good.

SAV for Mac 9.2.7 released!

Hey everyone,
We released SAV for Mac 9.2.7 to all home users late last week.
This release at a glance:
Compatible with OSX 10.6 - 10.10
Stability and performance improvements
Updated threat engine and threat data (release notes for threat detection engine)
Provides an updated version of OpenSSL
Fixed SophosUIServer.app crashes
Fixed streaming issues from francetv.fr website
How to get the update?
If you're already running SAV, you should have automatically recieved the update courtesy of Sophos AutoUpdate
You can also manually trigger an update by clicking the Sophos sheild tray icon and clicking Update Now
Download a copy from our website
What about OSX 10.11 "El Capitian"?
In the last few weeks I've seen some folks asking about 10.11, which is currently available as a pre-release. At the moment, SAV 9.2.7 *should* work if SAV is already installed before you upgrade, but the install will fail if you attempt to install a fresh copy post-upgrade. That said, we'll be releasing another update for SAV prior to the official release of 10.11 "El Capitain" which will ensure full compatibility, so at the moment we recommend upgrading with caution.
Questions? Feedback on SAV 9.2.7?
Post it here and we'll get back to you ASAP!

in case you didn't see it

That should help you out.

I can no longer read any material in nook for mac. I have a macbook pro running lion. I used to be able to but something changed and i can no longer read it. any help?

I have nook for mac loaded on my macbook pro. When I try to open a book or magazine nothing happens. I`ve downloaded the nook program twice thinking it was a bad download but to no avail. Any help?

I found the following suggested fix, posted by a user on Barnes & Noble's site:
1. Create a folder in your Applications folder, call it: NOOKforMac
Once you've done this, copy the Nook app to this folder. This should allow the app to run on the 1st or possibly second attempt to launch it.
2. Once you're done using the app always quit it by clicking on the X (red in some cases) button of the application window (upper left hand corner)
This seems to have resolved the issue and my guess is that somehow the .dmg volume path is somewhere hard coded in the app configuration.
Elsewhere in that thread, the administrator advises calling Customer Service Team at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665) and choose option 2 for Digital Support.
Good luck.

Want to use my ipod for Mac @ home and PC @ work....

I have a Mac at home and have my ipod set up for the Mac I guess. So I brought the ipod to work today to hook it up to itunes here on my PC, but itunes says only Windows formatted ipods can be used and that I have to do a restore on my ipod to use it.
I thought you could use the ipod on multiple computers? I thought it didn't matter if it was set for Mac or PC because you could still use it on both.
Any help? I want to connect my ipod at work so I can get the music on this computer. Thanks!!

Windows computers cannot read the file format the iPods are in when they are formatted for Mac use. However, Macs can read the Fat32 file format that the iPods go in when they are formatted for Windows.
To use the iPod with both computers, you'll have to first restore the iPod on your Windows computer (putting the iPod into Windows format).
The only downside is if there is an iPod software update, you won't be able to install that to the iPod from the Mac, just from Windows computers.

How to format an external drive for mac AND pc use

i want to format my external drive so i can use it on my mac and on pc's as well. i've gathered that the MS-DOS format is the way to go. my question is this: would this create any problems for my mac then?
can i partion one part for ms-dos and part for macos extended?
cheers
-j-

MS-DOS format (or FAT32) will be fine for both Mac and PC. However there is a 4GB file size limit with FAT32.
You could use a dual partition, however the HFS+ partition would not be readable by the PC unless you installed the third party MacDrive.
Look at this page for more information on a dual partition drive for Mac and Windows.

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.

Any hope for an update for Mac OS 10.6.5 compatibility - Resolved!

Just received the Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 / Premiere Elements 9 bundle and found out the hard way that Premiere Elements 9 is not compatible with my iMac OS 10.6.5. I mistakenly thought that it was. Now what to do? I'm hoping that there is a fix on the near horizon....anyone know?
Thanks,
Patti

Problem solved! Okay, I'm relieved but embarrassed...it was a user error. Premiere Elements 9 is compatible with Mac osx 10.6.5 and it was a big oversight on my part in the install process. There are 2 discs for Mac, 2 for Windows versions. The first one contains both PE9 and PEP9 programs, while the second disc contains extra content for Premiere. I had loaded the PE9 and then put the 2nd disc in, thinking I was installing PEP9 program. Because I hadn't finished installing from the first disc (it doesn't automatically take you back to the beginning to get the other program), the data needed for the 2nd disc was absent. So was my mind, apparently! I do think that if there were more detailed install instructions in the booklet, it would have been helpful. However, reading your responses spurred me to on to find the root of the issue...thanks for all your help. My little advice...try not to venture into unknown computer territory when overtired.
