Can both OSX and Windows versions be downloaded?

I understand Adobe permits a user to download 2 versions of LR per purchase, as you might do for a Desktop and Laptop computers. However, I can't find whether it must be the same operating system version for each copy.
When I originally bought LR 3, you had to select OSX or Windows version prior to purchasing but now the download selection is offered after the purchase when I recently upgraded to LR 5.
So, can I download one version for OSX & one for Windows 7? Will they play well together if the photos & catalogue are on a portable HD, shared between a laptop & desktop of different OS's?
Thanks.

Thanks 1.JimHess.
I've downloaded and installed it on the Windows 7 machine. However, a portable drive that I have used with the Mac is not recognized by Win 7, which I presume is a formatting incompatibility between the OS's. This may be the limiting issue that precludes use across platforms when using a shared portable drive. (the drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled))
Any suggestions of different formatting that could be cross compatible?
This may turn out to be more trouble than it's worth. Best to stay within one ecosystem, I suspect!

Mac can read NFTS drives, but cannot write to them. An alternative to reformatting Windows HDDs is third party software such as Paragon:

Data Doubler - Format for both OSX and Windows 7 to read/write?

Hello! I have a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13" and I've ordered the OWC Data Doubler with a 1.5TB HDD to put into the optical bay. I have a couple of questions.
1. What format should I use for the HDD to allow both my OSX and Windows 7 sides read and write to it? I have a Bootcamp partition, but if it's possible I'd like for both OSX and W7 to be able to read and write to this drive. That way, when I'm in OSX I can view iTunes and media, but if I'm in W7 I can still have the same access. That way, I don't have to worry about "Oh, I downloaded this on the windows side ... I have to figure out how to get it over to the mac side" (or vice versa). Essentially allowing the 1.5TB HDD to be a "go between" for the two.
2. This is a minor question, but will the eject button do something to the HDD if it gets pressed when the optical drive is out and the HDD/Data Doubler is in? I don't plan on pressing it, but I was wondering if I need to dig into terminal (or somewhere else) to "disable" the button or maybe just reassign it so that instead of ejecting it does some other function?
I have heard of "MacDrives" for Windows, but I haven't used it. If this is a better option (to put the HDD into Mac OS Extended Journaled and use an application to allow W7 to read/write) that's fine.
I am putting in the 1.5TB HDD. The end goal, if possible, is to allow the Windows 7 side to read/write to it. As long as it's not a "hacked together" method, I do not mind what way it's done.
Any thoughts? I appreciate it!

Use Winclone for the Windows partition and CCC for the OSX partition.

I'm using Parallels 7 on an imac with Windows 7. Both OSX and Windows (and especially quicken on Windows) runs very slow. Is there a good way to fix this?

Since installing Parallels 7 and Windows 7 (to use Quicken), my imac and the virtual computer run very slow. Is there a good fix?

Start up while holding Command R and run Disk Utility, check the SMART status and repair your hard drive.

Partition Table Looks Different Between OSX and Windows 7

Hey all,
I recently replaced the hard drive on my 2007 iMac, going from the 320GB drive to a 1 TB drive. It actually worked! The previous drive was failing in very odd ways, though booting into the Windows side (more on dual boot later) always seemed to work, and S.M.A.R.T. always reported that the physical drive seemed OK.
The previous drive (320 GB) had around 200GB devoted to OSX and 100GB partitioned off for a working Windows 7 installation (custom installed x64 Win7 Ultimate). I had the Windows system image backed up to my NAS, and had a Windows system bootable disc to restore that image.
After replacing the drive (and almost crying that I had actually done it right), I first restored OSX from a Time Machine backup, and let it take the full 1TB of space as Journalled HFS+. Then, I used Disk Utility to shrink OSX down to 500GB, and created a second partition (formatted to NTFS) with the remaining 500GB.
Now, restoring a Windows system image is an odd thing, as it tries to do a lot of partition work as opposed to simply restoring the Windows install to a partition. I tried Macrium Reflect first (made a backup in that, too), and it looked like it was going to let me restore to the second partition. It completed the restore...and the entire hard drive was hosed. Partitions had been moved, renamed, resized, and nothing was bootable. I had to use Recovery from an external USB thumb drive to go back to the single, full-drive install of OSX.
Then I tried again. Made the second NTFS partition and used the basic Windows System Restore disk to restore from the standard system image I had on the NAS. I was not expecting this to work. But it did. Windows started showing up in Startup Manager when "option" was pressed on bootup, and both OSX and Windows booted properly and ran fine. This is where I (finally) get to the supreme oddities:
OSX Disk Utility still reports two 500GB partitions, one for OSX and one for Windows.
In OSX the Windows partition shows as having NO DATA on it. Not sure what would happen if I tried to write a file to it when mounted, but there is no data on it when viewed from OSX (I was always able to see the Windows files when I mounted that partition on the previous drive).
The Windows partition does not show up as a valid bootable system in System Prefs --> Startup Disk (naturally, I suppose, since OSX doesn't think there is anything there).
From the WINDOWS side, Windows still sees the old partition table: 200GB for the "unknown" HFS partition, and then the rest of the space can be devoted to Windows (started as 100GB, but I was ablt to expand it to use the remaining ~750GB!). Windows thinks it can have 750GB of space even though I know its partition is only 500GB in size!
Windows cannot see the OSX HFS partition data using HFSExplorer. It CAN see the HFS partition on the attached backup drive (the drive I use for Time Machine).
GParted (a partition program on a Linux bootabld CD-ROM) shows the same partitions as OSX Disk Utility (2x500GB), and also thinks the Windows NTFS partition is empty (all space reports as "unused").
Did I mention both OSX and Windows work fine???
There are, of course, two other partitions on the drive: the first partition is the 200MB one I always see (EFI/GUID portion?), and then between the HFS and NTFS partitions is the 600MB recovery partition (which also shows at option-pressed boot time). OSX, GParted, and Windows see all four partitions, and in the same order. It is just that Windows sees the wrong sizes, and OSX cannot see any data in the Windows partition.
Surely this is all going to break spectacularly at some point, isn't it? What if I ever did write a file to the Windows side from OSX, or what if OSX starts taking more space than the 200GB Windows thinks is the max for that partition? What if I try to make Windows use more than 500GB because it thinks it has almost 800GB to use? What if I defrag the Windows drive?
I had no idea a partition table could look this goofy and yet still have everything be bootable and workable. Is there something I can do to get everything in sync? Basically, I am assuming I need to get Windows to do some low-level kung fu in Disk Manager in order to properly get everything lined up with the "right" partitions as reported by both GParted and OSX Disk Utility. But how do I do that?
By the way, any ideas that totally nuke the drive and start from scratch are completely fine (if it seems like they are doing something different enough that I'd give it a try). I have good backups of both OSX and Windows and have restored them about a half dozen times already as I dealt with the previous failing hard drive and with trying to get dual-boot working again. Not to mention, this iMac is now my secondary machine to the new Mac Mini I got a couple weeks back when I wasn't sure how much more life I was going to get from this 6+ year old iMac.
Thanks for listening to me ramble about this very odd issue, and a huge THANK YOU in advance to anyone who has ideas to help.
Thanks,

Update:
I am pretty sure the issue is a simple GPT/MBR discrepancy.
I installed rEFIt and used it's partitioning tool (gptsync built in) upon bootup. It was able to show the GPT table and the MBR table, but it thinks the second partition of the drive (the Mac OSX bootable partition) is "extended" in the MBR table and says "will not touch this disk."
However, it does look like an MBR sync should be straightforward, as there four partitions in the GPT table and four in the MBR (and MBR allows a max of four, AFAIK). I just need gptsync to relax some rules. I found a link to a supposedly newer version of gptsync compiled for OSX, so I will try that later.
First, I will try Partition Wizard, a free tool I found for the Windows side. It has a "Repair MBR" option that I would have tried last night if I weren't running a new Windows Image Backup in case all of this goes haywire. *smile* The PW tool also has an option to change the MBR over to GPT entirely. That might work, but then I am not sure Windows 7 will boot (from what I read, x64 Win7 running on EFI-enabled hardware should work, but who knows).
Anyway, I will try the following things, in order, until something works, when I get home tonight:
From Windows, run Partition Wizard and try "Repair MBR".
From OSX, download recent gptsync and try to run it.
From Windows, use Partition Wizard to do a full MBR --> GPT conversion.
Nuke the Windows partition in OSX Disk Utility, expand the HFS partition to take up the whole drive, and then add a Windows-bootable partition via Boot Camp-ish command line commands (diskutil). Because if nothing else works, I have to assume I just created the partitions wrong in the first place such that a Windows restore miraculously works, but the partition weirdness is just a timebomb waiting to happen.
Finally, if none of the above work, I'll just get things back to the way they now work and wait for the timebomb to (possibly never) go off. *smile*
I'll update this thread if I get something figured out, in case anyone else stumbles upon it...

Antivirus to protect mac running osx and windows

I am looking for a all around anti-virus to run on my mac that will protect both osx and windows 7 running through Parallels 8

ClamWin and Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows
ClamXav for OS X, will also scan the virtual machine OS's files too.
ClamWin has found things MSE and ClamXav hasn't, good thing is Clam versions are run as you need it basically.
With your virtual machine Windows, make snapshots and only update those, keep the files and exported bookmarks on a external USB, this way you can keep the machine in a more pristine state.
Stuff can jump on Windows (and OS X too) merly connecting to the Internet when the vm starts up.
So scan, restore to snapshot, update when it's available, scan again and revert again because there is so much stuff NOT being caught.

Is it possible to download both 720p and 1080p versions of a movie?

Is it possible to download both 720p and 1080p versions of a movie purchased from iTunes and keep them both in your iTunes library? I want to watch the 1080p version on my 3rd gen Apple TV and the 720p version on my 4th gen iPod Touch?
So far, I have downloaded 720p versions and the only way I can get 1080p is to delete the 720p version I have and then redownload the 1080p from the cloud. I want to keep the 720p version and also have the 1080p version.

I ended up getting the proper response from iTunes Support. I forgot to share it with everyone else. Here is how you download both versions of the videos:
iTunes only lets you download one version of a video at a time. As a work around, I would like you to try the following:
- Download the 1080p version of the video first
- Then remove the 1080p version of the video from your iTunes library and save it somewhere else on your computer.
- Now that you have removed the 1080p version go to the iTunes > Preferences > Store
- Change the HD version "when downloading HD videos, prefer." to 720p
- Go to purchase page, the 720p version should download.

Wireless suddenly doesn't work, both in OSX and windows 7

I have got a new model of MacBook Pro 13-inch. Everything work fine until one day I found the wireless suddenly didn't work, both in OSX and windows 7(boot camp.)
I tried my USB-wireless adapter on macbook, it works fine.
In bootcamped windows 7, I have uninstalled and re-install the wireless adapter, still doesn't work.
Actually it can find the wireless networks but cannot join them.
I need to mention before then I kept play heavy games like starcraft2 frequently, and macbook got so hot during playing, so maybe the wireless module was damaged by heat somehow??
Seeking for help ~~~

Seems I'm pretty annoying but I need to post again because I found something interesting: once I plug my external monitor to the macbook, the wireless strikes, and once I plug out the monitor, wireless recovers... Anyone has any idea?

I have partitioned my time capsule, but I can't get it to work as a Time Machine back up and permanent media server for both mac and PC. What format do I need to partition the drive to so that it works for both mac and windows and so that it will be visab

I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
Thanks

You are mixing up a couple of things here.
The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC.

My Mac PowerPC can't run 7.0.1 and I can't find a earlier version to download

I have a Mac Power PC with 10.5.8 OS on it and this last updated to Firefox 7.0.1 won't run except on with an intel processor. There should have been a safeguard so it wouldn't updated, now I can't find an older version to download. I access my medical stuff thru Firefox only and now I'm screwed. Am disabled and I can't go buy a new computer. Can anyone get me to a working link for the earlier version, I think it 6.0.2, have been thru so many sites I'm not sure. I really need some help here.

I have been using the unofficial port of FF for 10.4 and 10.5 PPC called TenFourFox on my old G4 Quicksilver running 10.4 for a while now, they are up to date with FF7, but since 6.0 they have blocked the Flash plugin since Adobe dropped PPC support several releases ago and it has many "never going to be fixed" security holes, though WebM video plays ok. http://www.tenfourfox.com/

Can I mount my external hard drive which will be compatible with both Mac and Windows?

Hello,
Can I mount my external hard drive which will be compatible with both Mac and Windows? If yes, then please let me know, because I intend to use my hard drive for both Windows and Mac, without losing any file.

Yes. By default, Mac OS X and Windows can read and write drives which are formatted as FAT32 or exFAT; NTFS drives aren't writable from Mac OS X without additional software.

JPG exchange between OSX and Windows

I have to set up an efficient way to allow my clients to browse through hundreds (and more) fotos on their computer (some on Mac, more often on Windows) and rate them with 1 to 5 stars. What’s the best software to let me set up the fotos on my side, give the fotos a first rating, let the customer do their choices and send it back to me with their markings?
I am on OSX Lion, I have Adobe Bridge as my main organizing tool, I have iPhoto, too, but already between Bridge and iPhoto the recognition of stars doesn’t work. I cannot expect my client to buy the Adobe Creative Suite and I am not sure if Bridge exists as a stand-alone.
Thank you for your help
cheers

Webcam for OSX and Windows

Hi, I would like to buy a webcam that can work on OSX and Windows XP as I have two computers but only want to buy one webcam. Can anybody recommend a webcam that works on both operating systems?
Thanks.
6400 (7.5), G4 PB (10.3.x), MM (10.4.x), 15GB pod, and then some! Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I recently bought an Ezonics 1Contact Pro which works with both systems.

Can both OSX and Windows versions be downloaded?
