Can I use my Ipod 5th Genereration with Mac and XP at the same time?

I have a 5th generation. My home system is a Mac my work is an XP. I have all of my music on my home MAc. I want to bring those over and use in the XP environment. Does anyone know if that can be done? When I connected my ipod into the USB on my XP it asked for me to download the software. If I do that will it mess up my Mac interface?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
ipod video (5th Generation) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

First, please understand that an iPod formatted on a PC (FAT32), will be able to be read by a PC and Mac. But not the other way round. You have 2 options to do it:-
1. Do a Restore of your iPod on your PC (you need to install the iTunes and iPod updates on your PC), (it will erase all data on your iPod). Once it has been completed, connect it with your Mac and do an update between the iTunes on your Mac with the iPod. After that please install the 3rd party software e.g. YamiPod on you PC, and use this software

Copy all the music on your iPod to your iTunes on your PC
2. Download and install a 3rd party software xplay2
(which is not free)on your PC, then it will manage to read your Mac's iPod

Can I setup my P1606dn to eprint both Mac and PC at the same time?

Can I setup my P1606dn to eprint both Mac and PC at the same time?

Hi Poindexter65,
There is no setup involved to ePrint from a computer. So, the answer is yes. All you need to do in order to ePrint, is send an email (attaching whatever you wish to print) to the printer's email address.
Here is a link with more information about ePrint and specifications for attachment types, file sizes, etc.: https://h30495.www3.hp.com/help#eprint

Can I use a camera for application in Labview and VBAI at the same time ?

Dear all,
I'm trying to save an AVI file with Labview and make an image process with VBAI at the same time, in one machine.
The error : "Camera already in use" displayed.
My Camera is a GIGE and I work with Imaqdx. I've test the multicast mode but it only operate with several machines.
How can I do this ?
Thank's to help me,
Yoann B

I'm not necessarily saying that. It's been a while since I've used VBAI, so I don't remember all of the capabilities, but if VBAI can do the inspection and recording at the same time, you should be fine.
The trick is that only one program can access the camera at the same time. That application reserves the camera, thus making it unavailable to others.

Using AExpress with mac and PC at the same time?!

I spent all day with this issue, not resolved some...but
I am getting a blinking amber light after reseting my airport express, but yet it is the only way it connects my mac and my pc together on the device at the same time, without shutting one out,
How can I get them to share the base station and have the normal green light? if they have a green light it disconnects my pc wirless connection. Are there shared settings somewhere?
windows xp pro sp3
wireless usb card: belkin F5D9050
mac macbook 10.5 osx
airport card/utility
airport express downloaded 5.4.3 version for windows

Thanks Tesserax
well, after 12 hours and trials I solved it myself, but I am considering more people have this issue, so I will share.
(make sure any adapter you buy is 802.11g/n/b compatible)
I had a Belkin F5D9050 USB card,
so install the latest updated driver for it, not the one with the cd!!!
found here: http://www.belkin.com/ca/support/article/?lid=enc&pid=F5D9050&aid=13773&scid=223
depending on your OS, pick one...but install driver first, then connect the usb card.
Then install the latest Airport Utility (*NOTE: there are alot of old ones that do not work out there!) Only use this one!
Airport Utility: 5.4.2 June 2009
http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortUtility_5_4_2Windows
If the AE utility doesn't detect your base station, press the reset button (until amber light flashes quickly), and then try re-scan again! do this until it shows up, then the installer will begin, if the amber light keeps blinking you need to reset again, once it works the lights will alternate between green and amber, then stay green.
IF YOU HAVE A MAC HOOKED UP: uninstall your airport base station from the unit for now, you can install it later after you configure your pc! The PC is sensitive and will not share the network, but mac will after.
Once the green light stays on you will be connected to wireless internet. Now you can connect your mac again.
I stumbled through this setup through trial and error, so do not quote me, but it worked for me.
If you have a password for it, write it down, you will need to enter it to connect to your base station again. This is the best way to stay online, and not have others stealing your wireless, or files.
You can share files to your PC and vise versa, just be sure to read up on sharing in Mac Osx.
If all goes well, now your PC and mac can be on the same base station at the same time.
If it works with amber light flashing it does, but is NOT connected right.
The light should be solid green.
TRUST ME, NO ONE HAS GOOD TIPS OUT THERE, AND CHAT SUPPORT DOES NOTHING!
I am sure I am forgetting something, but if you have an issue...just message me.

Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time

Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time? Sometimes I cannot get the wireless to work, it seems to be my laptop. It would be nice if I could use the usb, but it doesn't work. What should / can I do, if anything?
Sam

Hi,
Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .
Regards.

[Solved] Sound with ALSA and PulseAudio at the same time?

Hi, I am using arch linux to play Counter Strike on.
While it works fine and all, I just don't get any sound in CS because I am using Mangler, which only seems to work with my microphone if I use PulseAudio.
I hope this is a rather simple issue, basicly, I just want to enable sound in PulseAudio and ALSA at the same time, is this possible?
Last edited by Paaskehare (2010-08-12 15:39:09)

I have read that PulseAudio decreases sound quality, and therefore I would not like to use this as a systemwide driver, but rather only where it is needed.
Please correct me if I am wrong
Edit:
Ok, sound quality isn't noticeably worse, so this will do. HOWEVER, while I am in Counter Strike my sound is delayed by ~1 second, and it is therefore useless, any thoughts on that matter?
Edit again .. Solved this time:
I set my ALSA plugin in winecfg to "Hardware Acceleration: Emulation" - that seemed to do the trick.

IPhone - how to sync with iPhoto and Aperture at the same time ???

I'm having a really hard time with syncing my photos - I'm using iPhoto and Aperture on my Mac. When I launch iTunes and start managing my iPhone, it seems like I should be able to sync photos from a variety of sources all at once (iPhoto, Aperture, other folders).
However, whichever option I select in the photos drop-down becomes the only libraries that are available to sync. What I mean is that if I select some of the Albums in my iPhoto list and sync those, when I later drill down to Aperture and select albums from there and perform a sync - then the previously synced/loaded albums and photos from iPhoto are automatically removed from the iPhone.
Why can't I sync between multiple photo albums / sources at the same time? This is incredibly annoying.

Here's how I solved this problem:
In Aperture, select File -> Import -> iPhoto Library
Then under the "Store Files" dropdown, be sure "In their Original Location" is select. This will allow Aperture to see your iPhoto library, but it will be managed by reference rather than phyisically imported.
Now, in iTunes, select Aperture as the application from which you want to synch photos, and select the option to synch specific albums.
You should be able to see the names of albums in iPhoto as well as those created in Aperture.

Airport Extreme's compatibility with PC and MacOS AT THE SAME TIME

I have a PC and a Macbook at home and was wondering if anyone could tell me if the Airport Extreme can handle them both at the same time. I know they're compatible separately, but does that mean they're compatible when used together?
thanks!

The Apple computers hook up quite easily to the Airport Extreme base station.
My experience with two Windows computers is that they will connect...but getting them to "speak" to each other can be frustrating if you've enabled WPA2 security in your base station.
No security set in your Airport Extreme base station? No problem...
YMMV

Why can't I charge my Samsung 4GLTE wifi hotspot and surf at the same time?

Is the charger too weak to charge the device and surf the internet at the same time?

Works for me, have done it several times since I got mine. Something that is totally useless with the old 3G MiFi after they upgraded it.

Can I use my iPod Mini on my mac and my pc?

I have a mac and a pc laptop from work. I installed iTunes and iPod software on the pc but am afraid to connect my iPod to the laptop for fear I will do something wrong. Any suggestions?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) and my PC is a Dell running the latest version of Windows XP

Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.  If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

Can I sync to Mac AND PC at the same time.

This is probably a long shot, but can I synchronise my contacts and calendar my iPhone 3G to BOTH my home Mac (Address Book and iCal) AND my PC at work (Outloook)?
Thanks

Actually, this is not entirely accurate. If your work email is carried on an Exchange server, you can set up the mail account so that it is pushed to the iPhone, and likewise with the Calendar and Contacts. (Not sure yet if you can sync both the Outlook calendar AND iCal, or the Outlook contacts AND Address Book, although I doubt it.) However, even if you choose to sync email, etc. through Exchange, you can sync your music on a Mac through iTunes.

Can i use my ipod 7th generation with a bose dock

can i use my ipod 7th generation with a bose doc
k?

All of the Bose Dock I see listed online have the 30 pin connector. The iPod 7th Gen has a Lightning connector.
So you would need a 30 pin to Lightning adaprt that would make for a rather percarious mounting of the iPod.
I would recommend against it unless you can find one with the Lightning connector.

Can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

If you old charger is a USB (+5V output) it will work. If it is a Firewire charger (+12V) then I think it will still work, but Apple has removed Firewire charging from most of the new iPod lines including the iPhone and 4th Generation Nano. However I think that the 120GB Classic may be the last iPod to still charge off Firewire chargers.
It won't hurt anything to try it. If it doesn't work, you will get a screen display that states that the accessory is not supported or something to that effect.
Good luck,
Patrick
