Different Macs Different versions of i Work

Hi
Own Mid 2010 iMac and late 2008 MBP with OS 10.7.1 (Lion) but the i Work programmes show a different version which I realised was because the fulll screen version was unavailable on my MBP. I have a new MBP 2011 in my pack now, used the migration assistant to move my apps but could not see the i Work programmes on the new MBP the rest migrated with ease. Do I have to download the new i Work? Any suggestions.. thx in advance

in order to be compatible you would need to have iWork09 on all machines.
It runs on OS X 10.4.11,10.5.x,10.6.x and 10.7
The 9.1 update however will only install in Snow and Lion, because the enhancements are useless on the older Platforms and are 99% only Lion support.
Documents created with iWork09 , regardless of the point release or "servicepack" edition are fully compatible when opened on another Machine with iWork09 , yes the data is even compatible with the pages,keynote and numbers app for iphone and ipad and can be synced to such an device via itunes and edited from there.
The individual apps from MacAppStore make up the iwork09 suite, but have the 9,1 update already incorporated into the apps ( pages version 4.1 = iwork09,v 9.1 while pages v4.0 = iwork09 v9 ) .
Here is a trial that will install on OSX older than 10.6.6 ( needed for all MacAppStore apps ) , notice the system requirements , it should run on your older MacBook with no problems. You can use this to buy a serial code from Apple once the trial has ended, that transforms it into the unlocked version :

How to unify multiple iPhoto libraries from different Mac OS versions?

I am pretty good with the Mac itself and have been a long time user. I knew full well acumulating multiple iphoto libraries in older backups (intead of building up on one) was not a great idea but for several reasons I have had to live that way. Now is the time to clean it all up once and for all and I need some wisdom;
-I got my external drive as my new iphoto library now. It's being used, there are already albums in it and it's ready to accept older libraries.
-What I want is that the older libraries (about 10 of them from different Mac OS versions) to show up in the new external drive as they looked in iphot back then. As albums in other words.
-I do not want them imported in a single folder that's full of photos.
Any help is much appreciated,
Cheers.

If you imported a previous iphoto library into your new one, it created a folder inside the iphoto called "imported".
That was the problem. One should never import one library into another. Only iPhoto 6 libraries and earlier can be imported into a library now. With the introduction of iPhoto 7 the library was changed from a folder to a package which can't be imported by the current iPhoto version.
To use an older library with a new iPhoto version one just opens that library with iPhoto and lets iPhoto update it as necessary. No importing necessary.
Also you can use the paid verson of iPhoto Library Manager to merge those additional libraries into your current working library (be sure to have a current backup of your current library before merging). What will be included are albums, Events, keywords, titles, descriptions, places. Books, slideshows, calendars in the other libraries will be copied over as just albums.

How to store System backups of different Macs/OSX versions on one ext. disc

What is the best way/software to create and store backups/clones of several different Macs on one external hard drive? The Macs are different models (iMac, G5) and use different versions of OS X.
I read the instructions for Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper and they require to erase everything on the disc, so I can't store them all on one Volume, as the new one would erase the others. Do I have to create several Volumes/partitions on one hard drive?
Thanks for your time!

Hi Noriker and a warm welcome to Discussions.
The best would be to partition the drive into the requisite number of volumes. When CCC or SD erases before beginning the copy, only the volume will be erased. Use Disk Utility to partition the drive.

Playback of MP4 file on 2 different Macs/Quicktime versions look different

I created a MP4 file from a Motion project (the project has been transferred between my MacBook Pro on Leopard and my iMac which has Snow Leopard).
On my iMac the file shows 156MB, and I use Quicktime Pro 10.X (its at home so not sure of what version) and the file comes up at 1280x720 as intended.
I then copy the file to my MacBook Pro which has Quicktime Pro 7.6.6 (I thought installing FCP included latest QT Pro Player??). The file size shows up as 149MB, and when i play the file back it comes up squashed, as in it's squashed at the top and bottom. So a circle looks oval now.
When i try and export on my MacBook Pro - i get the squashed image straight away.
I dont understand how this is possible? Can anyone shed light on whats going on? Is it the different QuickTime Pro versions?

I dont understand how this is possible? Can anyone shed light on whats going on? Is it the different QuickTime Pro versions?
Sounds like what you are seeing basic difference in the way the two versions of the QT Player display the aspect ratio. Beginning with iMovie '08 thru iMovie '09 and on into QT Player X, the display dimensions are determined by the by the pixel aspect ratio setting and not the the "Current Size" setting data embedded in your file. QT 7, on the other hand, relies on the "Current Size" sitting to display the movie. When these settings equate to different dimension, your movie will display differently depending on which player you are using at any given time. The easiest way to corrent this problem in your case, is to simply open the movie in QT 7.6.6 Pro, reset the display scale to 1280x720 in the Video Track "Visual Settings" tab in the "Properties" window, and then save these changes. Thereafter, the movie should play correctly in either QT Player. If things had been reversed and it was the pixel aspect ratio setting that had been erroneous, then you would have had to re-compress the file embed the correct aspect ratio. This is also why your QT v7.6.6 attempted exports reproduce the error since it is passing the incorrect scale dimension on to the new file you are creating unless you manually modify the output dimensions.

Mac OS versions between 10.7 and 10.8

Hi everyone,
I am very new working on Mac, but I need to test an application on different Mac OS versions, so I have some question:
1. Are there Mac OS versions between 10.7.5 and 10.8?, I mean 10.7.6, 10.7.7, 10.7.8 and 10.7.9.
2. If yes, where can I find/ download these versions?
This information is so important to me.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Laura.

No, there aren't.

10.4.8 - Six different Macs all with problems since the update...

We run a business which has six different Macs... all relatively new (3 yrs). Typically we run the auto updates, because that's what we're supposed to do, and we experience little if any problems.
This last update (10.4.8) has caused nothing but problems - little system hickups here and there. Programs hang. Strange screen anomolies. Laptop trackpad issues (clicks and selections when none were made). I have to say that if Apple is going the way of the Windows machine I'm not impressed - at all. Consider thoroughly test your updates before releasing them on your loyal client base. Seems like a simple concept.
Is there anything that can be done to limit the impact of the recent update. Backtracking to the last version is not an option, although setting up the system to allow for this will become a part of our workflow in the immediate future.

Started having problems with my Imac first power supply (replaced under warranty), then HD/Boot issue. I ran disk repair and was advised by support to try to do an immediate backup (purchase external HD) and reinstall OS from CDs. Although I purchased an external firewire HD that day, my HD failed the next day (unable to backup onto new Glyph in time) so I lost EVERYTHING.
I investigated data recovery options, but just waaay too expensive. So yes, there's nothing like a good backup plan. Lesson learned.
Today (after a nightmarish struggle to get the computer repaired--different issue) I finally got my computer back with a new HD and logic board.
So, I rushed home to start reinstalling OS and software. First installed original OS X Panther disks which incl Garageband, no problems (also set up internet to try to register all software), checked for firmware update (none), ran software updates, rebooted). Then I installed OSX Tiger (ran software update...10.4.8, etc, ), started Garageband new song one track piano (using an M-audio keyboard controller i had hooked up but had not yet installed the software drivers) and it worked! Very cool. everything was time-consuming but seemed to be working fine (and why wouldn't it on a brand new HD with all software installed via CD and all updates recommended by Apple?)
Then, I decided I would next install the GarageBand JamPack CD (before attempting to tackle external HD setup, Pro Tools, synths, etc). So, I saved the "testsong" when closing and received error "Gband unexpectedly quit" and it stopped responding (spinning color wheel). After a few minutes I was able to force quit the application (really didn't think anything of it). Then I rebooted (since it did crash, I did go back and look for a possible software update but said I was up to date).
I tried to install Gband Jam Pack (1) failed about 95% of the way through while I was trying to complete product registration online. Then I rebooted, tried again failed (during which my internet also stopped responding). I had to then reset the wireless router and cable modem, looked for help online and rebooted.
I then ran repair disk permissions (it looked like it did a few updates but I did not see any alarming "errors" flash across the screen). I rebooted and tried to install JamPack again, failed, and rebooted (and looked online for another suggestion).
removed folder: application support/gband/loops/Gband Jampack/ folder into trash then tried to install jampack again, failed, and rebooted.
removed folder again, ran repair disk utility (did not look like it made any updates or report any errors), rebooted. Tried to install again and failed and rebooted, emptied trash and rebooted again.
I am now running repair disk utility one more time (10 solid hours into the software installation process ....my internet just stopped responding again so I apparently have to reset the wireless router again just before trying to send this message). I will run repair one more time, and completely power off computer for a couple of hours while I grab some sleep before work.
But, now I am seeing all these SCARY stories about the 10.4.8 update I just installed?!.
Are these problems related? Can someone please help me? Surely it cannot be this difficult. Thank you!

Photoshop CS6 crashes constantly on 2 very different macs, but CS5 running very stable!

hi
our photoshop cs6 (with latest update to 13.0.4) keeps crashing daily and is not stable at all.
so we would work with cs 5 again, as this version is very stable and wont crash even once in a year.
we are daily/"9-5" working at a photographers´ studio and use 2 different macs:
- brand new mac pro 6-core (2010/Westmere) with 48GB RAM under system 10.8.3
- old mac pro with Two 2.66 GHz Dual-core Intel Xeon "Woodcrest" from 2006 with 16GB RAM under system 10.7.6
(both with standard equipped/shipped graphics cards)
cs6 crashes daily whith following tasks:
- frequent crashs: using "motion blur"
- frequent crashs: using "refine edge"
- sometimes using "transform tool"
during our tests, we found out, that "disable graphics card" (photoshop>settings>performance) in the mac pro from 2006, would prevent a crash, when using "refine edge". in the latest mac pro from 2010, we did not find any solution to prevent a crash.
a "crash", we define as follows: during the mentioned tasks, photoshop is gone from the screen in the blink of second, and an osx sign appears "photoshop has crashed"..
thanks for your time..

As Chris states, this will help us track down your issue.
I agree is Christoph, I would suggest leaving OpenGL/"Use Graphics Processor" enabled and twiddling the Advanced settings for Drawing Mode to "Basic." Then restart Photoshop and see if the problem still persists.
That setting is the main difference between CS5 (Basic) and CS6 (Advanced).

Booting different Mac operating systems.

In the Windows world, the user can set up a computer to allow the selection of different operating system versions, such as Win98, WinXP, WinVista, to be chosen at startup.
Can this be done with Leopard, or possibly Snow Leopard? I'd like to upgrade, yet keep the existing system installed. I am not referring to using an emulator like Parallels Desktop, I'm already doing that.
One of the things that's the most frustrating to me is the different terminology used. Took me awhile to figure out that Airport is wireless networking, and today I discovered that Automator appears to be a macro recorder. Yet I've got a friend who could never figure out the other terms but the Mac terms make perfect sense to her!! Go figure!!! LOL
And before someone suggests it, I bought a Leopard book last spring when I bought this Mac, but a summer job I took involved 10-12 hour workdays and I just haven't had the time or energy to get it read.

Supported different Mac operating systems (and unix-like Linux for Mac) can be
booted in the same computer; in order for multiple Mac OS X systems to work,
they need to be in their own partition so as to not mix up their differences, and
applications that may work well in one may not do so well in another. So, each
OSX has its own Applications and other folders, in their own home partitions.
Snow Leopard 10.6.x is intended for Intel-based Macs; Leopard 10.5.x is the
last version supporting PPC-based Macs. Some PPC Macs did not like 10.5.
You could probably use a bootable externally enclosed hard disk drive to have
additional system(s) available for the computer, instead of reformatting the HD
& partitioning it for several systems. The OEM drive may be too small for more
than one OS installed, depending on the uses expected and storage demands.
Computers that can't support the latest OS X 10.6.x won't, and they can't use
an older OS X than the one they shipped with, the exact as-shipped version.
Some models can run several OSs including variants of Linux or unix for Mac,
and select supported OS X versions; plus older Macs running dualboot OS9/X.
The Support pages on the Apple site have helpful information on specific Macs
& other hardware, so that may be of help to read about each model in question.
Also, the free download offline database: http://mactracker.ca is fairly handy.
Good luck & happy computing!

Missing pages when iWeb editing on two different Macs

Hi
I have an ibook and today I designed a simple iWeb page and uploaded it from work (it really is very simple).
When I came home is used my iMac to run iWeb (don't worry I have a family/5 machine licence) but nothing came up..
Is there no way to edit the same page and more importantly see the page in iWebs site organiser if the sites/pages are produced on different macs?

Graham,
In order to be able to edit on more than one Mac, you will need to copy the Domain file that resides in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb. That Domain file contains all the elements of all of your sites that you have done in iWeb. It's not accessible online via .Mac like when using Homepage. So if you make changes from computer A, you'll need to copy that file to computer B before being able to edit the site. Then you will need to copy that file back to computer A so you have the latest version of your site.
This makes being able to edit ones sites from multiple computers a pain in the rear. I tried it today by copying the Domain package from my home computer to the G5 I use at work. I made one small change to the site and published it. However, I could not get the changed page to show. The old page kept coming up. I duplicated the change once I was back home and published. Everything was fine. I don't know what the problem was but if it is a consistent problem, it will make updating from multiple computers go from being a pain to being impossible.

Can you open a Garageband project as it was on a different Mac?

Not sure how to phrase this question, but essentially I need to open a Garageband project on a different Mac to make edits. Not just an mp3 or wav, I mean the actual project in which you can make changes to your song and then export. I see that there is a .aiff file for each individual track in the project, but I need the actual project file. I see there is a 4 kb .band file, would that allow me to do so? Sorry for the dumb question

I see there is a 4 kb .band file, would that allow me to do so? Sorry for the dumb question
The .band file is your project file, yes. If you transfer this file, you should be able to continue to work on the project, provided you have compatible GarageBand versions - the same version or newer. And the same instruments and loops should be installed.
Have you used any custom instruments or loops, that you created in GarageBand and saved to the Instrument library or to the Loop Browser? If you used such custom items, you would have to transfer them as well.
What is your GarageBand version?

I d like to export mail folder ("on my mac") to different mac

I d like to export mail folder ("on my mac") to different mac!
In detail:
I got a MacBookPro and have a lot of important emails saved in mail under the "on my mac" folder. How do I transfer those folder and emails to my Imac? Both macs mail is working fine but if i create a new folder under "on my mac", emails on the Imac disapear and they are not in the "on my mac" folder of the Imac. Any suggestions?

You will have to buy the version that is compatible with the version of Apple OS X that you are running.

Using a different .Mac account in iPhoto

We have a .Mac family pack. My wife and I each have a personal account and we would like to use a completely different .Mac account to post our web galleries, but I don't want to have to create a new user on my Mac just to use iPhoto. Is there a way that iPhoto can use a different .Mac account than the one associated with my user account on my computer to publish galleries?
Thanks,
Aaron

Can we share our photos in the family on different mac´s with Time Capsule?

Can we share our photos in the family on different mac´s with Time Capsule?

It depends on the size and number of photos you are sharing around.
Nothing wrong with putting a copy of the photos on the TC if that works for you. Each person can access the photo just fine like that.
I am not saying don't.. just beware of the risks so do it prudently..
But if the library is too large, you will steal space on the TC that should be used for backups.. if all the computers in the network are backing up to it, don't use too much of the spare space.
Better to buy a firewire drive (or USB but firewire 800 are much faster) and connect it to a computer that is regularly turned on. Share that drive to the network. It will then also be backed up correctly to the TC although again be careful of the amount of files, and still keep a straight copy backup somewhere else.
I am recent convert so workflow on the Mac is not my forte.. so perhaps some of the wiser heads can also drop in and post a reply.

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy) it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
Thanks

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps
