Cross platform - Using AI on PC and Mac

If I have a PC and Mac both running CS3 and I'm using Opentype fonts, how easy/hard is it to work on an AI file back and forth between the two computers?

Should be fairly easy. I worked with both PC + Mac in a production environment where we were ripping EPS files that were created on the Mac. The only concern is when you save the EPS, be sure to select 8-Bit Tiff preview instead of the traditional 8-Bit Mac preview. Open type fonts shouldn't be an issue, especially if you use a font management program like "Font Agent Pro" in both platforms and have all of the fonts loaded.

Yes you can. OS X version 10.6.6 and later can read/write exFAT. Windows XP SP3 and later can read/write exFAT. As posted by Radiation Mac, you can do it from Windows or from OS X.
However, I've noticed Windows to be somewhat picky about drives formatted on a Mac. So, if Windows can't read it, try formatting it on the Windows machine, and see how it works on the Mac.

Since the release of Mavericks, syncing contacts with a Mac using iTunes is no longer supported. The currently supported method is to use iCloud. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

You can use this option, just consider not using a high number to avoid ORA-31693 errors.

Cross platform update Win 1.x to Mac 3.x

Hi,
i'm going to ask that question here again, because i think that is has not been answered correctly by the Adobe Support.
I like to update to the newest Lightroom version and use it on my new Mac computer.
I have a valid, registered serial number of Lightroom 1.x for WINDOWS.
I used it on Windows serveral years ago. Has not been used since 2007....
I don't have any Lightroom 1.x software available any more, neither for Win or Mac...
Now I installed the DEMO version of LR 3.x on my MAC. Now the evaluation period is over.
My question is: can i just buy an upgrade packet to LR 3.5 (multiplatform?) and use it on my MAC now?
How will that work? Will they create a new vaild serial number out of my old serial, just to activate the DEMO version ??
Will i have any issues because the original version was used on windows, and now the new version will be used on MAC?
Remember, i dont't have any old software version available any more, so i am not able to install an old software to let an upgrade software search for any old installation! Got me??
It is my biggest concern that the new version will search for any old installed software version, which i don't have....
Thanks for your help.

The license for LR is platform independent.
You do not require version 1 on your system. All you require is the original valid serial number.
When you enter the upgrade serial number LR will ask for your old number, you enter this and all will be well.
If you registered your original serial number with Adobe you can find this on your account.

How can i format an external drive to be used for both windows and mac

i recently bought a macbook pro and used bootcamo so as to be able to run win7 and mac. I now wish to have an external usb drive so as to backup and tranfer files between the two os's. How can I do this?

Firstly,
There is a forum for MacBook Pro - not this. And for Boot Camp.
You can:
add Paragon HFS driver to Windows which works
add Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X
USB is of course slow and while people use it for backups and TimeMachine, that is one place where FW800, eSATA or USB3 would be better served.

OCR scan using PhotoSmart Premium C309g and Mac OS X 10.8.5?

Greetings! I'm wondering if there's a way to scan text documents in an OCR format from my PhotoSmart Premium C309g to my Mac, which is running 10.8.5?
When I updated to 10.8, I downloaded the required driver from the Apple store. It works well for photos, but not so well for text files. The "text" option is grainy and not very readable. The black-and-white option works better, but the text is still dim, regardless of how I manipulate the manual settings.
I've seen responses that are three or four years old to a similar question relevant to earlier versions of Mac OS X, but I'm wondering if there's a work-around for 10.8?
If not, can you tell me if the driver for 10.9 includes an OCR option?
Thanks much!

Hi krisc,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are wondering how to scan text documents in an OCR format, using your HP Photosmart Premium c309g and Mac OS X 10.8.5. I am happy to help you with this issue!
At this time there is no OCR software for this printer for Mac OS X 10.8.5 or newer. I would however suggest looking for Third-Party software that could possibly work, with Mac OS X 10.8.5, and this particular printer.
Hope this answers your question, and have a great day!

HT204053 I want to change the apple ID for iCloud in my iPhone so that it's the same ID used with my iPad and Mac. When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, it won't let me change the current apple ID - how can I do this?

I'm hoping to sync iCal via my four apple devices through the iCloud.
Unfortunately, I used two different Apple IDs when setting up the iCloud accounts on the devices.
How can I change the Aplle ID associated with my iPhone so that it's the same one used for my iPad and desktop?
When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, the apple ID that appears is greyed-out and will not let me click on it to change it.
Any suggestions?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID. When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data. If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account. If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

External hard drive filesystem to use for both pc and mac

hi everyone,
i've got a 120 gig portable WD passport harddrive that i'm planning on using to move files between my pc and macbook.
it is recognized fine on both and I am able to copy files to my macbook but cannot write files to it, i'm assuming it has to do with the file system it's using (not sure what it is off hand bought it used and preformated)
any suggestions on how to get it working on both platforms?

Important Note: Reformatting a HD will overwrite all existing files.
Before attempting Reformat,Be sure to Back-up important files to another HD,iPod,CD or DVD.

Cross-Platform Adobe Creative Suite 4 For Mac From Windows

Hello,
I am having quite a unusual problem. The problem is that I have a copy of Adobe Creative Suite from my company that is meant for Windows, and it will not install on a mac. Does anyone know of a way to install a windows native Adobe Suite on a Mac platform? I have tried using a emulator called wine, but every time I get into the setup when the system is checking compatibility the entire thing is halted. I do not have access to any windows machine, and installing a Virtual Machine is out of the question. I also considered swapping the windows version of the software with the Adobe company, but then I would have to destroy the disk of my company. Any help on installing Adobe creative suite 4 meant for a Windows platform on a mac? Emulation etc?
Thanks

installing a Virtual Machine is out of the question
Why?
Try CrossOver Mac from codeweavers.com
Otherwise, your only option is to use install Windows via Boot Camp.

Can't import images using iCloud on iPad and Mac

Yes. I have followed the "easy" instructions of the Apple site for setting my up my icloud account and sign in with both devices. Yes I have seen every imaginable youtube video of how to's and followed the steps. I am connected to the internet, signed in with icloud in both devices, ticked automatic upload of photos, photo sharing, etc. Now where do I find the images? are they automatically imported NO and if I enter icloud from the internet can I see my images NO!
and if i followed the easy steps to import them using iphoto, it just says something stupid like "import the photos" yeah...how???!!

I have an Ipad2 and a Macbook pro, latest software versions downloaded today
Which software versions exactly? "latest" may depend on your hardware. MacOS X10.9.1)? iPhoto 9.5.1?.
Othe fact is when i go to the icloud.com the photos are not there either. I made an album on the ipad and "shared" manually the photos for icloud and nope, it doesnt work.
How did you share the album?
You can share to a shared Photo Stream and publish that stream as a public webpage on your iCloud webpage. Is taht what you have done? Then you need to use exactly the url, that is given, when you publish the webpage. It is not linked on your iCloud page.
If I wanted download manually the photos to iphoto I cant I cant because the icloud icon doesnt appear in the left menu of iphoto like the one you are showing, it doesnt display either a shared button like the one you have in your screen and it doesnt explain at all how to import images.
Let's compare the settings on your Mac:
In System Preferences - you say you are signed into iCloud, o.k.
Did you enable the options for "Photos"?
Check, if bot "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" are enabled.
Otherwise iPhoto will not show the iCloud options.
In iPhoto you should see the iCloud panel I posted as a Tab in the iPhoto Preferences panel.
(My screenshots are done in iPhoto 9.5.1 and MacOS X 10.9.1)

Cloud service using two machines, PC and Mac?

I know that I can use the Cloud service on two computers, one at a time. But can one be a PC and one a MAC?

Yes.
That's one of the advantages of the Cloud license over the traditional, perpetual software license.
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Are there any unique benefits that come with my paid membership?
Yes, as a member of Creative Cloud, you get many benefits that you do not get when you purchase a traditional shrinkwrapped product:
An ever-expanding membership that provides access to Adobe's latest products, services, features, and workflows as soon as they are available. You no longer have to wait 12, 18, or 24 months for the latest innovations.
Access to both the Mac OS and Windows® versions of the desktop applications and the ability to install them on your primary computer and one backup computer. So, if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, you can install your applications on both as long as they are not running at the same time.

Some cross platform use questions

I was approached by my boss yesterday and told to come up with a system for me to use. That's a dream come true seeing as I have gotten nothing but hand-me-downs up til now.
I am thinking about a PowerBook Pro with the Intel processor and Windows capability.
I have 2 focuses that I am trying to fullfill with one unit.
I edit video with Final Cut Pro and do classroom transmissions using the PolyCom system.
I am in classroooms quite a bit and if I have the Power Book, I could do editing while in the classroom-away from my usual work station. The class would be transmitted on a seperate unit.
I want to try to find out if I can make a Polycom set up work with the on-board camera on the laptop to give me more ammunition to put in for the "Dream Machine" PowerBook.
Has anybody had any experience with using what is basically a PC program, Polycom, on the Windows running Mac.
Thanks for your help.

Thomas, I have no experience with Polycom; but keep in mind that the iSight camera is not supported yet under BootCamp/ Windows XP...
