Converting My Toshiba to Mac

I onced owned a MacBook but dropped it and messed it all up. I have since reformatted the apple hard drive and the memory card and used it in my other windows computer. so the other day I got to thinkin "if the parts are interchangable...Can i reformat the operating system on my Toshiba and convert it to an "Apple Computer?""

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
while 'some parts' may be interchangeable, the Mac OSX is not.
It simply won't run on your Toshiba.
Regards
Stefan

    Get an aftermarket universal charger, perhaps?    Their connectors are mostly  right-angle.    I have some iGo Green model that looks like this but is an older model.    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834993922

  • Converting PC docs to Mac

    How do I convert MS Works (pc) files to my new imac??

    You have several options--don't pay attention to the person who thinks and says "you don't"
    You can download and use NeoOffice for free, which can open the works files--then you can save them as a .doc format to use with Word. If you don't want to buy Word, you can just se NeoOffice for your office needs.
    I have the same problem--I tried to get my dad to use Word, but he was used to Works--so all of his files from the past decade are works files. Now that he has a Mac, I have him using Word.
    What I don't know is if I can get a converter for Microsoft Word:Mac so that I don't have to convert them manually--or if I can convert them all at once, instead of doing them one at a time. I have a lot of Works files to convert, so I don't want to have to do each one individually.
    If I find anything else, I'll post it here.
    Anyone else know of anything better?

  • Converting file from a mac to pc?

    How do I convert files from a Mac to a PC

    Are you talking about Data files such as Microsoft Office etc? Picture files such as Jpegs?
    Depending on what you are talking about, you may not even need to convert them. Please provide specific details.

  • Converting Pagemaker 7.0 mac platform to indesign cs pc platform

    Is it possible to convert a file from mac platform pagemaker 7.0 to the pc plateform Indesign CS?

    If possible, it is a good practice to open the PM file in PageMaker. Make sure all links are up-to-date. Make sure all fonts are present. Do a Save-As for good measure. And aferwards open the file in InDesign. InDesign will open and convert to an InDesign document which you thereafter save.

  • Convert Windows ipod to mac; Can I go back?

    I read the following on Apple's knowledge info.
    "You can convert an iPod formatted for Windows into an iPod for Mac by using the iPod for Mac Software Updater on the Apple website. Note that once it is reformatted, it will only work with Macs. You need Mac OS 9.2 or Mac OS X 10.1 or later to reformat an iPod for Windows into an iPod for Mac."
    Now my question is if I convert a windows ipod to a mac ipod and then can I go back later and convert it from a mac ipod back to a pc ipod?
    Has anyone done it successfully? I understand it isn't officially supported.

    If I use my daughter's PC (with iTunes & iPod software) to configure the iPod to be formatted to accept the PC data, I need to "reset" the iPod.
    You mean to restore the iPod. Restore and reset are quite different operations.
    This will erase everything which is no problem as I have all the music on my Mac and can reinstall - or can I?
    Yes, you can.
    When resetting the iPod on the PC does that operation make that PC the "master" and cause the iPod to want to be connected to it for updates of songs?
    After you restore the iPod on the PC, it makes the PC the master.
    Will that cause the iPod to think my Mac is not its "master" computer?
    Yes, it will.
    To use an iPod between these 2 computers and allow the iPod to be readable by both the Mac and the PC, you should restore the iPod using the PC and set the iPod to manual update. Check this: Using iPod with multiple computers

  • Is there an application to convert VOB files to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger

    Is there an application to convert VOB files to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and if there is how do you convert.

    VOB files are video files.  Tiger is an operating system.  Converting video files to Tiger frankly doesn't make sense.  Can I convert a Beethoven symphony into a toothbrush?
    What is your actual goal in this?  You can play VOB files with VLC, and there is still a Tiger version of that.  Converting to another format is harder since usually when you are working with VOB files you are doing higher end video editing.
    If you goal is to convert commercial DVDs you have ripped, don't bother asking.  Discussing that is against the terms of use of this site since ripping commercial DVDs is illegal in the USA and some other countries.

    You can use the adaptor that came with your device. They work in the UK. You will need a wall outlet plug adaptor, however. You can buy them at most AAA travel outlets, computer stores, or buy Apple's World Travel Kit.

  • Converting file names from Mac to Windows.

    I am an Apple tech at a university that uses both PCs and Macs. We have found that we run into some problems when transferring a user's data from one platform to the other.
    When transferring lots of files, what do you experienced Mac techs use for safely converting file names from Mac to Windows?
    From Windows to Mac?
    We've tried NameCleaner and ended up with bad results.
    Please let me know if there is something good out there for these conversions.
    ---Timothy

    The problem looks like this:
    1. User wants to switch from Mac to Windows.
    2. We back up the data from his Mac to a server (an X-Serve RAID).
    3. We log into the server from Windows.
    4. We try to pull his data from the server.
    During this data transfer, it quits with an error stating that it can't finish copying the data. I wish I had the exact text, but I don't. It does this repeatedly, and stops on different files from different locations.
    In essence, without "cleaning" the Mac file names, data transfer to Windows cannot successfully complete. It quits on certain Mac file names. In the past, NameCleaner has worked sometimes, but now we have had some issues with NameCleaner (which don't matter in this discussion). The goal is to find a better solution than NameCleaner.

    That depends. If you bought the disc version, you're good to go, since your serial number works on both platforms, so just install the mac version. If you lost the discs or your mac doesn't have a disc drive, you can download it here:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10 <https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html>
    However, if you bought the windows version as a download, you're out of luck. Adobe does do a crossgrade, but for older versions you have to pay to upgrade to current version on the new platform, and that's more expensive than just buying it, if you search around for a good price.

  • Converting excel link in mac acrobat x pro

    I know you can maintain URL lionks when converting Excel to PDF on Windows with Acrobat X Pro. Can you do the same with the Mac version?

    What are you talking about?
    If you use the Save As... > PDF  within Office2011 and 2008  you use the Apple PDF engine.
    IF however you go to Print menu > PDF > Adobe PDF you make a genuine Adobe PDF using Adobe's PDF engine. It ieven uses the Acrobat Distiller Job options.
    No wonder Macusers have go it alone. When the adobe employess don't know what's going on.
    Click on the PDF button in the print menu.
    Then hold button until menu pops up. Choose Adobe PDF or Adobe quality PDF (depending upon the version of OSX used).
    menu choice will show High Quality , click on that button and choose desired job option. choose whether you want the PDF to open Reader as soon as its created or not.
    Click okay (or save)
    Now you will be given opportunity change name or give desired name, choose desired location to save.
    Then hit Save.
    Your Adobe quality PDF will be created.

  • New to Mac....can transfer files from Toshiba to Mac. But can't transfer files from Mac to Toshiba??? Can anyone help please?

    New Mac user......own a new iMac and iPad and still use a Toshiba Laptop. Can transfer files from Toshiba to iMac but can't transfer files other direction?

    Are you doing these transfers over a Network connection, the systems are networked together over your Home LAN? Or are you doing it with an external drive?
    If an external drive Mac OS X can READ Windows NTFS formatted drives but can NOT WRITE to them. So you can co[py files to the drive on your Win PC and READ them on the Mac but Mac OS X can not Write to that drive so you can't copy files from Mac to that drive.
    For an external drive to work on both systems, be able to Read and Write from/to that drive, it has to be formatted either FAT32 or exFAT.

  • Nikon D5500 generates RAW files as .NEF which Lightroom 5 won't read. How can I convert these on a Mac with Yosemite?

    I have tried the Adobe DNG converter (v8.7.1.311) but when I choose the folder where the photos are, it shows an error reading "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files". I cannot find any other software for Mac which claims to be able to do this. Can anyone help?

    Many thanks for that. I've never shot RAW before and am new to DSLRs generally so don't know the relative difference between formats. If I have to convert RAW  to TIFF to be able to use Lightroom, will it have been worth me shooting in RAW at all, or will I do just as well staying with the highest quality of JPEG I can get from the camera? My camera is 24.2M megapixels
