Different glass pane behaviour in Mac and Windows

I have an application with a glass pane containing a panel that is set non-opaque. On this panel I do amouse drag and draw a transparent rectangle when the mouse is released. On the main frame below there is a picture. This works fine on a Mac, I end up with a transparent rectangle on top of the bottom frame. However, when I run the same program on a Windows machine, as soon as the mouse is released, the rectangle is drawn and the glass pane layer gets opaque, hiding the picture below.
Any solutions?

  • Mac and Windows showing different hard drive space remaining?

    Hello Guys,
    I am using my 1tb hard drive with mac and windows and while checking the space remaining, my mac says roughly 600gb left and my windows comp. says about 500gb left. I am just wondering which one of the storage remaining statements is correct and why they both show different numbers (by 100gb)? If it helps, this also happens to my 16gb flash drive. mac says 10 gb left, and windows says less space left (dont remember actual number, but was roughly 6-8).
    Just asking becuase I want to know why such a big difference in size remaining. Could it have to do with the way each OS sees what defines the harddrive as full?
    if it matters, my hdd format is MS-DOS (FAT32).
    Thanks a lot,
    krm1897

    haha its been 2 years. And no, i didn't figure it out, but i speculate it may have to do how Mac OSX and Windows reads the FAT file system (my tb hdd was FAT formatted so i could use it on both OS) and calculates remaining space.
    That may be right, or it may be completely wrong lol

  • VPN -- different behavior between Mac and Windows XP clients.

    Hi,
    Background:
    I have a Mini server serving L2TP IPSEC vpn with both Mac and Windows (all XP, so far) clients.
    The mini sits behind a Netopia router/firewall/NAT box that port forwards L2TP traffic to the mini.
    The mini has a public but unrouted address (unrouted in the public Internet, that is.) The same Netopia serves as the router for outgoing public connections. DNS is served by other servers.
    The VPN clients are distributed addresses from the unrouted public address space.
    Client <-> NAT <-> Public Cloud <-> NAT <-> Private (with public addresses) <-> Mini (VPN)
    Mac clients work happily, accessing internal and external hosts.
    The XP clients have a registry value set to allow NAT traversal:
    under HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPSec, AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule is set to 2 to allow dual Nat traversal.
    The XP clients happily access internal hosts, but hang accessing some, but not all external hosts.
    For example, most Google services are quickly displayed, whereas www.comcast.net or www.llbean.net hang. It appears to be more frequent accessing third-party hosts while processing the initial page. Some Google web services, e.g. some Google Map plugins do eventually hang.
    An XP host internal to the network configured with the above registry key set to 0 (No NAT traversal)
    exhibits the same behavior when using a VPN connection
    Public Cloud <-> NAT <-> Private (with public addresses) <-> Mini (VPN) <-> Pvt. <-> Client
    Same host without VPN works fine.
    Clearing the XP checkbox that routes all traffic to the remote (VPN) router makes external hosts work
    as you would expect.
    So my questions are:
    a) What's XP doing?
    b) Can it be fixed? (besides routing public traffic away from the VPN.)
    Thanks Jonathan
    p.s. MrHoffman, I almost asked this in the HP Forum as well, till I noticed you were here. (Assuming you are Hoff.)

    Hi soccerdude21490-
    +Is this possible?+
    Theoretically yes. However, it would be up to the school to allow you access through their network.
    The first step would be to contact the school's IT department and ask them if they will allow such a connection, and if so, could they please provide you with the settings (ip address etc.).

  • How can I make an icon that links to a webpage that works with Mac and Windows??

    Hi!
    I burn CDs with my photos and send them to clients.   Besides the photos folder, I would like to include a file (similar to the .webloc files on the Mac Desktop) that can be clicked and it will be linked to my website - it will open up a browser window and go to my website .      Is it posssible to make one of these icons that works with both Macs and Windows machines?  Thanks!

    Now it works!  Thanks, Denico!
    The reason I saved to text:   The first time I followed your instructions, it did not work.   I tried to figure out what I did wrong and saw that you wrote to "save as plain text."   I did not know what this means and there was no option available to save a plain text.  So I looked around and saw "save as stationery" and I guessed that maybe that was what you meant.   And after that, it worked!  But the next thing you know, the icons started duplicating themselves.
    I guess I had made a different mistake in the beginning and I fixed it without knowing what it is.
    Thanks for clearing that up.
    But just one question.  WHY does saving as "stationery" make an icon duplicate itself?

  • Creative Cloud both on Mac and Windows on a second computer

    Is it possible to use Creative Cloud both on Mac and Windows on a second computer with one license? At home I work with Mac, and out I work with Windows.

    In 2.1.5 of the Software License Agreement it says that you have to own tow separate licenses if you use Mac and Windows on one computer. Is this not also the case if you have two computers, one operating with Mac and one operating with Windows?
    2.1.5 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. Customer
    must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of example,
    if Customer desires to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms on a
    device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then Customer must first obtain two separate
    licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a different operating
    system platform, are delivered to Customer on the same media.

  • Using on Mac and Windows

    I want to purchase CS6 design standard and before I do I wanted to know:
    Can I use the products on Mac and windows (at the same time and one at a time) or do I have to purchase for each platform separately?
    How many systems can I install and use on simultaneously?

    So even for volume license the splitting of the suite to install its components on different machines is not allowed?
    I know thats what is clearly stated in the EULA FAQ link you provided but it does not mention volume licensing
    See http://www.adobe.com/volume-licensing/policies.html
    CLP and EA Policies > EULAs

Where the CLP 5 and EA terms and conditions conflict with a EULA, the CLP 5 and EA terms and conditions supersede.
    one of my local resellers said I could slice it. Thats why I want to confirm.
    What you're calling "slicing" is what Adobe's EULA terms "unbundling".
    4.5 No Unbundling. The Software may include various applications and components, may allow access

  • InDesign Mac and Windows troubles

    Hi,
    We got 2 different shares on our Windows Server. One share for InDesign documents and one share for pictures. The pictures are used in the InDesign documents.
    We use InDesign CS6 for Mac and for Windows. If we create the InDesign documents on a Mac and open it on a Windows InDesign the picture links are broken. Same thing happens when we create the InDesign documents on Windows and open it on a Mac. Between 2 Macs or 2 Windows computers there isn't any problems.
    If both the InDesign document and the picture we link to is on the same server share there's no problems too.
    Shouldn't it be possible to edit the same InDesign documents on both Mac and Windows without breaking the links when they are stored on different shares?
    Thanks!
    Best regards
    Brian

    Sounds like either a problem with the path separators (Mac style vs. PC style), or possibly the network protocol used to link to the server on the Mac side.

  • Sharing files between mac and windows

    Hello, I have recently purchased a new mac computer and I would like to transfer files from my old windows computer onto this new one and vice versa. I have tried using an external hard drive to do this, but I found that it can only be formatted to one OS at one time. Does anybody have any ideas of how I can accomplish this? Thank you so much for your help everyone!

    I'm not clear as to the current format of the drive. Since you say it is working with MacDrive I am assuming it is currently NTFS. You also say this is for a "new computer" so is this really a Leopard OS computer, making this a Leopard OS question? There's differences in the capabilities of the different systems.
    As for MacDrive, if it works and it's the only program then you'll have to pay for it. I'd say if you're just using it this once for this one application you could probably buy a used drive for $50 to allow you to clear some files off the one you want to use and reformat it. Drives formatted to FAT32 can hold files up to 4GB in size and work with both Mac and Windows. Unless this is for video I don't see a severe restriction to reformatting to FAT32 and using that.

  • File transfer between Mac and Windows

    I am running Windows on my Mac and I transfer files between mac and Windows alot using my external hard drive. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this than having to use my external hard drive like a networking solution or something. Thanks...

    i also run windows on my mac (for work). The issue i had was that when booted in osx, i could see the windows partition, and copy files FROM it to the mac side, but i could not copy files TO the windows partition.
    As i understand it, this is because the apple NTFS driver (to read the windows partition) only allows read access (not read and write access). It was easily solved with MacFuse (which is an open source way to add different disk file systems to your mac, kind of like teaching it a new language), and NTFS-3G for mac osx.
    http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
    scroll down a bit for the download link. The installer will put in MacFuse and NTFS-3G, so it's the only one you need.
    After a reboot, i can read/write to the windows partition while booted into macosx (and it's free).
    i hope that helps.
    p.s. the efi boot manager download is NOT required.

  • Switching between Mac and Windows platforms

    Hi there
    Are there any problems with using an external hard drive and moving back and forth between a Mac and a Windows PC? I'm mainly using MS Office documents but am concerned that they might corrupt if I switch back and forth betwen Mac and Windows.
    Any pointers or suggestions?
    Cheers

    Hi Sharif,
    Thanks for your answer. If I could just ask for some clarification
    Sure thing, tht's why we are here, aren't we ?
    If I buy a new external drive, should I then use Disk Utility to format it according to the guidelines you've given?
    1. Start Disk Utility
    2. In the left pane click on the external harddisk
    3. Click on the 'Partition'-Tab in the right pane
    4. Choose 'One Partition'
    5. Choose 'MS-DOS' and enter a "Name"
    6. Click on the 'Options'-Button and set MBR as partition scheme
    7. run the partitioning
    And in doing so, this will make the drive stable across platforms?
    Has worked for me on a number of external harddisks.
    Although I personally share the hatters opinion about NTFS being the better file system.
    But as said you have to use a third-party helper in OSX to write to NTFS harddisks.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Different display aspect ratios between Mac and PC

    I am working with some NTSC DV .mov files (720x480). When I view them in OS X Lion (Quicktime 10.1), the Quicktime Movie Inspector shows the video correclty at 4:3 Aspect Ratio with the correct dimensions of 640x480 (using square pixels).
    However, when I open the same video in Windows 7 using Quicktime 7.7.2, It shows the video as 720x480 (I guess it is interpreting the pixesls as square instead of 0.9091). Also, on the pc, there are black bars on the left and right margins. These don't appear on the mac.
    Any ideas about why these are being interpreted differently by Quicktime on OS X and Windows?
    Thanks.

    I assure you that I can open the same file from an external drive with my Windows PC or my Mac and get the above results. I have over 500 of these videos, and they all behave the same way.
    And I assure you that the files are not the same if the file display internals were chagned by your copy work flow.
    I did discover in QT 7 that if I go to the "Presentation" tab in the "Show Movie Properties", that I can set the "Conform aperture to:" to "Clean" and it sets the movie to 640x480 and removes the black bars.
    Underscan issues are separate from aspect ratio issues. They can be eliminated by masking or cropping along with the re-scaling—the latter of which I've have been pointing out would correct your 720x480 (3:2 aspect ratio) to 640x480 (4:3 aspect ratio) which was the original title subject of your topic.
    I believe this is the difference.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4265
    All NTSC SD DV content is encoded 720x480 matrix content whether the aspect ratio is 4:3 or 16:9. To properly trim and scale the content as described by this article, the file must contain a valid setting flagging whether the original content was recoded with a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio. This has yet to be proven to be the case of your copied file which the media info window states is now playing as a simple non-anamorphic 720x480 whereas your current example reads as a simple non-anamorphic 640x480 file. In most cases this does not matter if the source content was 4:3 aspect. However, any file with a "lost" flag setting will be treated as 4:3 aspect file whether the original content was recorded as 4:3 or 16:9 so there is a potential for problems here.

  • Mini DV Video - Storage for Mac and Windows

    I have about 16 hours of miniDv video that I have imported through iMovie and is now saved on an External HD connected to my Time Capsule. I have a Windows machine wirelessly connected and I would like to be able to access these files. I do not seem to be able to open the saved files. Any thoughts on either how I could make this content readable by both Mac and Windows?

    To read it in iMovie on Mac, your drive must be formatted as Mac OS Etended (journaled).
    For Windows, you drive can be formatted FAT32 (readable and writable by Mac (but not by iMovie)) or
    you can format as NTFS, which is read only by Mac.
    Your best bet is to format a different drive as FAT32 and copy these files to it.

  • What format for my external drive allows use with Mac and Windows?

    I got an external hard disk (1 tr) and i want to used it for my windows and mac, i read i can have two partitions one for mac and one for windows, but i dont really want to have two parts, and I read i can format it by fat32 and i can write and read on both os, is that true?
    I want to use it for movies, os backups, and files..
    Is it true that i can only save files up to 4 GB when the format is fat32?
    please advise..

    It this case you would need to to go to "Disk Utility" on mac and select 3 partions which will be under the Parition Layout in my screen shot below. "Current" is grayed out that will drop down select 3 partitions and make one NTFS, second Mac OS Extended, third FAT32. Using the FAT32 for both Mac and Windows but the files have to be under 4GB each.

  • I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

    I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
    I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
    My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
    Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
    I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

    Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
    WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
    If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
    The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.

  • What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

    Hey Forum,
    I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
    or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
    All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
    Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
    But that is the exception that makes the rule.
    SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....
