Cross platform mail madness

Just to make my life easier (supposedly), I used the mail client in Windows over on my Boot Camp partition, to check my .Mac mail. No problem. As soon as I did this though, when I returned to OSX, all my old mail in Mail had disappeared.
Is this simply an indexing issue, or does .Mac not like it when you go over to the "dark side?"
If I removed the old indexes, will the account reindex and I'll then get all my old mail back? I know Tiger indexing does Mail differently than Panther....
Thanks.

This sounds like your your mail account was set up as "IMAP" on your Mac and "POP3" on Windows. If so, Windows fetched all mail and deleted it afterwards, so leaving an empty box for your Mac.
Make sure you set up the account as "IMAP" on both platforms.

How to make cross platform screensavers

I work on an Imac on os X. I need to make screensavers for
cross platform (win/mac) distribution. I have flash 8 pro. Is there
any viable solution cheaper than the $200 for "Iscreensaver" or
$300 for "screentime" softwares? Failing that, does anyone have a
preference between the two? do you know if they allow flash
interactivity or just animation?
thanks in advance

Unfortunately there is no choices for you when comes to MAC.
Windows has over
30 really good screensaver tools, some of which very capable
and totally free.
Myself do not use Mac but friends who do, use the
"screentime" as preferred tool.
Check the features, see what you need and which tools deliver
what you looking
for than pick the winner :)

Can you still get a cross platform upgrade for CS3?

I'm a mac user and recently purchased CS3 Design Premium for windows used -- does anyone know you can still get a cross platform upgrade from windows to mac without upgrading to CS4?

I am very, very sorry to read that. My windows pc is just crashed because of a virus my payed anti-virus program could not deal with, and everything have to be cleared totally. (XP pro - browser used at the virus-time = Mozilla. Anti-virus program = The price winning PC-tools)
Have to start all over again from scratch.
Therefore I wanted to change to a new Mac machine for my CS3.
I know I could upgrade to CS4, but do not need the CS4 for the time being, so I have to stay with Windows.
Alle my other programs - Nikon - Topaz - Nik-software - Hemi. - Jason Odell - have been so very helpfull and trusted me and have send me new keys - THANK YOU, you have a lot of problems when this problem happens, so they removed some of the stones, , but not Adobe, they said by telephone (I also tryed a mail, but no answer), that I have to sit at the pc for installing and then try to call them by telephone to get help for autentification, and nobody can promise me it will be the same day.
Last time it took one and a half our to get through by telephone.
I really love your program (CS3 extended) ....... but not this.

Can I use Messages in OSX to text with a person on an Android platform? My iPhone works cross platform but I don't get the text in Messages on my desktop with OSX 10.8.2

Does "Messages" in OSX 10.8.2 work cross platform? My daughter has an android phone and I can text with her OK in iOS. However, her texts don't show up on OSX whereas texts from my son, who has an iPhone, work in iOS and OSX.

HI,
The answer is yes and no.
As Barney-15E link says you can get the Messages app to SMS to AIM Buddies. Or rather telephone Numbers as AIM Buddies.
There are limits.
The computer has to be set as if in the United States (System Preferences > Language and Text > Region)
The phone is question has to be on a carrier that supports AIM SMS forwarding which only applies to some US based carriers.
The reason the SMS Messages arriving on the iPhone do not sync is that they are not iMessages (the "No" Part).
I use Messages with the Buddy List Showing.
As a test I have added a made up number as a Buddy and also created a Address Card for it.
So Mousing over the "Buddy" reveal the "Screen Name" which is the phone Number
You have to include the Leading +1 country code as well.

DW CS3 cross-platform check in/out file locking

Here is my setup:
* Apple X-Serve file server (as a mapped drive on several
Windows XPsp2
machines and a shared drive on one Mac 10.4)
* Up-to-date Dreamweaver CS3 on every machine (3 windows, 1
mac)
* Enable file check in and check out (site preference for all
installations)
* Contribute compatibility (site preference for all
installations)
The problem is that when a file is checked in on the mac, the
file becomes
locked such that the windows machines can't check out the
file. All of the
windows machines check out and check in files with no problem
if the mac hasn't
touched them. Once the mac has checked in a file, I have to
"unlock" the file
via the right-click context menu on the file. (This unlock is
called "Turn off
Read Only" on the windows version.)
Windows FTP Log on check out after mac check in:
/.../public_html/help/faq.php - locked
/.../public_html/help/faq.php - error occurred - An FTP error
occurred -
cannot get faq.php.
/.../public_html/help/faq.php - unlocked
Apparently the Mac DW CS3 version of "Check in" and the
Windows DW CS3 version
of "Check in" are different and incompatible. Has anyone else
had this problem
or know of a solution? Removing the Mac is not an option.
This may or may not be related, but whenever a file is opened
on the operating
system other than last edited (mac opens windows edited file
or windows opens
mac edited file), the "Overwrite local copy" dialog shows up
when checking out
a file. When a compare is made of the server/local files,
there are no changes.
Both mac and windows have the same line ending settings in
the preferences.
http://www.hostingforum.ca/700363-cs3-cross-platform-check-out-file-locking.html
I'm having exactly the same issue. Has anyone experienced
this before, and if so have a solution?
Thanks in advance!

In your Site definition, you need to specify the Remote Info
of your
server, and then "Enable file checkin and checkout".

Cross platform, multiple versions, multiple architectures.

I am fairly new to Illustrator plugin development. I played around with the ADM on the Windows side and got that working. Then realized we needed to build a plugin to run on Mac. And although the SDK says you can target multiple platforms in the PiPL, it never really worked right.
Now I'm working on Mac with Xcode. I'm running CS5. Some of the machines I'm developing for are running CS4. I've tried building the samples from the CS5 SDK and they work on my machine great. When I build the CS4 SDK samples the tester can't load the plugin. (LiveDropShadow). Do you think it is the version of Xcode? I targeted the right OS version... made sure of that.
So next question.. can I build/deploy the same Flex UI in CS4 and CS5? Any tips/suggestions?
thanks,
Will

You can absoultely hit both CS4 & CS5, Mac & PC -- we do! Hell, we used to hit CS3, CS4 and CS5
Your problem with CS5 & CS4 is probably that you're using a suite version that is only available in CS5. When Adobe updates a suite, they still make the old version available, but the headers will always use the version that shipped with their Illustrator by default (makes sense). So, for example, the Art Suite might be version 14 in CS4 and 15 in CS5. If you use the CS5 headers, kArtSuiteVersion is 15, but 15 doesn't exist in CS4.
Its easy to see if that's the problem -- add a message if AcquireSuite fails and have it print out the suite & version that failed. If that's the case, you'll just need to look at the CS4 SDK and figure out what version it shipped with (likely one less than you requested!). If you're not using anything added in the CS5 version, just switch the types & version requested to the CS4 one and after a recompile, you should be fine. Of course, this may repeat for several suites It might be faster to look at what suites you're requesting and then just check each one. A fast way is to look in the legacy folder -- if theres an AI140*.h version of your suite, that means it was updated in CS5, and you'll run into this problem.
As for the ADM, well, we had the same experience. That's why we switched to Qt. There are undoubtedly other cross-platform toolkits you could use, but that one will work (albeit with some work). The next version of Illustrator won't even have the ADM in it, so its definitely wise to avoid the ADM at this point.
I'm not too familliar with Flex, but I believe you can hit CS4 & CS5 with the same UI. I'm not the one to answer that unfortunately, as we don't use Flex. There's another thread from the last week that discussed the finer points of 3rd party vs Flash UI that you might find useful. It should be one or two down from this one in the thread list.
Good luck!

Cross platform play lists

I make my iTunes play lists on my PC. Is there a way to import, and/or convert, the play list file to my Mac so that I can have the same play lists without having to duplicate them manually. It’s a huge job. You would think that Apple would benefit from making an automatic conversion program for cross platform use.

Ok, I did what you said then I went to the Mac and it’s a little different. There wasn’t a Library choice, but there was an Import, so I imported the playlist file. The playlist showed up in iTunes on the Mac, but there were no songs in it, just a playlist folder. I made sure to create a playlist on the PC that I verified the songs were in the Mac library. Are you leaving something out? Is there a special new version of iTunes that has to be installed for this method to work?

Does anyone have issues sending pdf's or jpg's cross platform and the images do not come through as an attachment. iMac OS 10.8.2

Thanks for any help.

Lion Mail: If Windows users have trouble with your attachments

I need a cross-platform upgrade.

How can I get that? Did one of you has been able to get it?
Is it just me of ADOBE customer service is simply uncapable???
My story is a long one! I'll make it short.
I've moved from Windows to Mac.
So I've ordered a CS4 upgrade on your web site on may 26th. When, 3 weeks later, i wanted to activate it, it said my previous windows key was not valid.
I called, mailed, open cases, filled out LOD, sent them, uploaded them, faxed them, called again, again, etc, etc... Problem is the on the website, YOU CAN'T ORDER cross-platform upgrade!!!!! But it is not mentionned anywhere!!
I then tried to get reimbursed and just redo the process over phone. Refund? Did I say refund?? So I called, mailed, open cases, filled out LOD, sent them, uploaded them, faxed them, called again, again, etc, etc... End of July, I was completely resourceless, so I called MasterCard and told them my story. They reimbursed me.
10 days ago I called back by phone to order the cross-platform upgrade since they told me it was the way of doing it. I ordered, and even added on the order a lightroom 2. I paid again on credit card. They asked me again (!) to fill out a new LOD and upload it. I did. Now, 10 days later, today, I called back and guess what? They will escalate my case to upper level!!!!!!! They haven't ship anything yet!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!! Please tell me that someone cares for loyal customer at Adobe!!! I could just pirate the software but I want to pay and use it legally!!!! And this is how I am being served!!!!!
Is it just me or somebody else could help?? By the way, when I called today, the Indian guy hung-up on me!!!! I can't believe this!!!
Who else had the same problem and more important, How did you get your product shipped??
Serge

That's exactly what I did!! I called them, placed my order, paid for it, filled the Letter of Destruction they asked, uploaded it on the open case in the support portal and then, 10 days later, I call back to hear the same story again!
Nothing has been done and they will escalate my case!!!!!! Could you imagine?! I originally started the process of simply buying a product on May 26th and still can't get it!!!!!!!!!!
Again, I'm not surprised if a lot of people other alternatives!!!!! They really are lucky not real good alternatives existed to Photoshop cause I would be gone weeks ago!! The product is good and is the only one, so they know!
Do you have other suggestions?? Phone numbers? What about a VP Customer Service? VP Sales? Someone that is based in USA and cares for customers!!!!!
Thanks for any kind of help!!!

Cross platform CS on PC to CS3 on Mac does not work like video says

Your video on cross platform workflow states that you can import older Premier CS files on a PC into CS3 on a Mac. I tried this and get the message, "this project was saved in a aversion prior to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and cannot be opened on a Mac. Please refer to the User Guide for import options." I guess I have to assume then that the video, www.adobe.com/go/vid0236, is wrong about this? Can someone please explain how I can salvage the work I did 3 years ago on Premiere Pro 1 on a PC when I am now exclusively working on the Mac in CS3?
Thank you.

Ty,
This has come up a few times and the solution is to find a PC CS3 user, who will Open the Project and then Save it in CS3-CS4 for you. I does mean that you'll have to befriend a PC-person, but who knows, maybe you can reciprocate later on. In each previous instance, this workflow, PC to PC to Mac worked perfectly. Note: the same holds for Encore Projects, and there is some PC to PC incompatibilities between very early versions and later versions. I had to Open and Save an Enocre 1.0 Project in CS2, so a CS4 (only) user could then Open in CS4. This stuff happens, and the skip in Mac porting can play a role in it. If I had CS3 on my PC's, I'd do it for you, but CS2 will not hlep you.
I believe that P 6.5 was the last previous version ported for the Mac, until CS3.
Good luck,
Hunt

External Hard Drive won't appear on PC (want cross platform)

I have an external USB Hard Drive. I formatted it using the Disk Utility, OS Format and Journaling. Did a small partition in case I needed a system boot drive. Now my sis needed to backup her laptop (Dell laptop), but the drive won't appear in My Computer, it recognizes there is a USB device on the lower task bar, but no drive anywhere.
Do I have to reformat? what steps do I need to make this USB drive cross-platform friendly?
Paul

Hi, Paul.
You may not want to reformat the drive as FAT-32 since there is a limit on the size of the partition, the maximum file size, and other issues, especially if her Dell's drive is formatted as NTFS (FAT-32 does not support NTFS extended attributes). FAT-32 is unsuitable for backing-up Mac OS X volumes as it cannot preserve the extended attributes (permissions, etc.) employed by Mac OS X.
It's really best if you each have your own external hard drive for backup, as part of implementing a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution, such as I use and detail in my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. You also don't want one person inadvertently writing over another person's backups, which could happen if one is not careful. Furthermore, it is often easiest for recovery.
How one handles backup in cross-platform environments is tricky and depends on the native formats employed by the different computers involved, and whether backup will be performed over a network or by directly connecting backup drives to the computers one is backing up.
To enable her Dell to use the Mac-formatted drive, install Mediafour's MacDrive for Windows on the PC. MacDrive for Windows is probably the state-of-the-art application for enabling you to use Mac-formatted disks and hard drives on Windows-based PCs.
Good luck!

Which product to purchase (cross platform necessary from Mac to PC) Adobe Photoshop 6.0.x to ???

I have ancient Mac photoshop and pagemaker files. i need best cross platform product for windows that can access these files. adobe photoshop is my primary concern. I understand the indesign cs2 will import old school mac photoshop 6.0.x but is not compatible with windows 7 ... thank you.
In particular we use windows 7 x64
So in summary, need to determine which Windows 7 x64 version of Indesign CSxx will still open archaic Mac Adobe files (layouts, EPS, etc). Or is there a similar product that must be obtained. I prefer to stick to Adobe products, however, if I must go elsewhere and you can help -- please advise.
Also, if you know what I should obtain, does this product have a trial download option that I can test functionality before purchase? Warranty when I do buy information -- and return policy in general?
Many thanks.

PM support has long been pulled from InDesign. You are going to need some old version like CS or CS2 and save an intermediate step to ID files. PS is not a probelm at all. All programs have 30day trials and Adobe has a general 14day return policy. Refer to the product pages on teh website.

PDF with special characters (é, ñ) needs to be legible cross-platform(mac & pc)

I am using Illustrator to design a PDF. Because it's in Spanish, accent marks and other special characters are needed (á, ñ).
When I export the PDF from the ai file and view it on my mac it looks fine. However, when I open it on a pc some of the special characters are completely missing.
I tried Creating Outlines with the text, although it will make it harder to update in the future and so less preferable to leaving the text editable. Creating Outlines works fine on the mac, however on the pc the L's appear thicker than they actually are.
Does anyone know how to make special characters legible cross-platform when creating a PDF using Illustrator?
Thanks!!

Does anyone know how to make special characters legible cross-platform when creating a PDF using Illustrator?
Yes. You use a correct OpenType font that has the glyphs in the place where they belong and can be embedded without limitations. Older TrueType or PostScript fonts are simply unsuitable as are fonts that cannot be emebdded and require to be installed locally. It all comes down to system language settings vs. the unified environment inside acrobat. This also requires any PDF to be created on systems with the language settings correct in the first place, i.e. creating Spanish text with a Japanese version of AI would be pretty desastrous due to how foreign language fonts are accessed... check these things and then try again. If possible, enforce embedding of the full font in the PDF settings, not just a subset and choose a suitable font.
