Distorted audio on Mac but not on PC

Hi everyone,
My colleague recorded audio to a Captivate project on his PC and it sounded great. When I opened and previewed the project on my Mac, the audio came in with microphone distortions for certain phrases (sounds like he was too close to the mic). Is there anything I can do on the Mac in preferences or Captivate to change how the audio sounds (aside from re-recording all of the audio files)? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,
Can you go to Audio settings, when you edit, it gives you the option to adjust audio levels and normalize it.
Also, you can check by exproting teh audio from Library Menu and pay it standalone and see if the audio sounds fine that way?
If yes, try reinserting and publishing again.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

I-pod touch works on a Mac but not a PC

Please help! My I-pod touch works on a Mac but not a PC. When hooked up to a PC, the device is not recognized in I-tunes message, says I-pod in recovery mode and to restore, after checking update and restore, receive unknown error message (9). Have tried unistaling and reinstalling I-tunes, using different USB ports, creating new user, restarting computer, using different PC, and trying to reset by holding sleep/wake and home buttons all to no avail, very, very frustrated, everything is fine on a Mac!!

I have CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2010, version 6.0.0.264.
I was wondering about that one in particular.
Try configuring you CA as per kalda01's instructions in this post:

(Sometimes switching the security software off doesn't help, but doing the configuration does help. Not sure what's afoot with that, but it has happened with other security-package problems with iTunes in the past.)

If time machine puts all of my photos onto my external hard drive using time machine, can I then delete the photos from my computer but view them again from the external hard drive? Basically, can I free up space on my mac but not lose years of photos?

To add to Niel's comment bear in mind that if you have a backup copy on an external HD and later delete the orignals on your Mac HD you will then only have one copy - so no backup.
If the pictures are precious you should have at least two copies, and ideally another copy kept off site,

I able to copy and paste files from external hard drive to mac, but not the other way around. Please suggest. Thanks

Don't use NTFS, remove your data off it first and change the format to something the Mac and PC can read, but doens't cost money or require software.

I can connect to MAC but not my PC

I have a new Nano, that connects to Mac but not my PC. When I try to connect to PC it says "iTunes as detected a Macintosh formatted iPod. You must restore this iPod before you can use it on Windows."
How can I get my Nano to work on both?
Thanks!

Windows cannot read a Mac formatted disk.
You need to Restore on iTunes for Windows and it will then work on Mac & Windows.

Map Widget - Works on Mac but not in Author

OK, I'm a nube when it comes to Dashcode just so that's out there. I managed to build a custom map widget with Google Maps. The widget works perfectly on my Macs but not in Author. In Author the default place holder remains empty. If I click "edit HTML" I get the Google map, but it's just a generic USA, not the one I created w/ places. Also iBooks refuses to import the book to my iPad until I delete this map.
Do I need to do something or insert special code in Dashcode to make this widget "Author compatible" or are map widgets not allowed?

jfk0404 - I believe that what you're referring to as the "unattractive cartoon-like figure in the widget" is actually the placeholder image for the widget as it appears inline on the page. Once you click that cartoon image the actual widget takes over full screen and loads the html content displaying a functional full size google map.
To replace the cartoon icon you have a few options. The first thing to do is create a new .png file to represent your widget as the placeholder image enticing your readers to click to open the full screen widget and load its dynamic contents. Perhaps a screen grab of your map would be a good idea?
Easy:
Drag your brand new .png image from the Finder into your open source iBooks Author file dropping it on the cartoon image. Done.
More Complex:
Right click (control-click) on the xxx.wdgt file that downloaded from http://classwidgets.com and choose "Show Package Contents." A Widget file is really just a special folder bundle with a .wdgt extension. In there you will find the Default.png file. Highlight the file and press the space bar to see a preview in the Finder's QuickLook feature. That's your cartoon image. Now replace that file with the one you created above. Done.

Movie works on mac but not PC...help!

Hi!
Hopefully someone out there can help me...
I am trying to make a video play on a website that I designed. The video will play on a mac, but not a PC. When the user clicks on the link, the video (.mov) should start playing in whatever media player that computer has installed, either quicktime or windows media player. It isn't working on a PC. Maybe if I convert the video file to a windows media file or to a file that is easier read my a PC it would work? I don't know how to convert quicktime files into .wmv files.
help!!!
if you want to see the video, click on the "reel" link of www.williamday.net, then click on "reel" again in the middle of the page.

The problem is your page code (or lack of it).
You are directly linking to the file and bypassing any browser plug-in.

Link works on mac but not on pc

Hi -
I am trying to insert a jpg into a dreamweaver file.
I then upload the html file along with the jpg to my server in a folder called "layout"
So the url is: http://www.mysite.com/layout/test.html
The link works on mac, but not on pc's.
Any idea why?
Some links work on pc's like this, and others don't.
Thanks- It's driving me crazy!!

The link is not correct....you have it listed as" mysite.com", which I assume is where you are to insert the name of your url.

Web graphic links work on Mac, but not PC

I have two websites. The old one is DogToysAndTreats.com. The new one is FunStuffForDogs.com. I need to change the home page graphic on both of them to point to my shopping cart pages. I have done this and published the changes on both sites. It works on my Mac but not on my PC.
On www.funstufffordogs.com, the graphic at the top with the bulldogs is supposed to link to http://store.funstufffordogs.com/storefront.aspx. Same thing on www.dogtoysandtreats.com. It works on my Mac in both Safari and Chrome. On my PC, it doesn't work on IE, Safari or Firefox. (BTW, I haven't worked on any of the other links until I can figure out how to do it properly.)
I don't get why the platform has anything to do with it.

Looking at your source, the problem may be that the images refer to an external server link from the one actually hosting the website page. Whenever you try to mix servers on a single page, you depend on the network connectivity being reliable to all the servers simultaneously. This can be as much a problem on a Mac as a PC. Sometimes routers have bad router tables, or internet providers do, and this can cause issues for multiserver websites. Using on your router & network settings an OpenDNS DNS server can help:

HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

Hi pwillener,
Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses
. This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

Error when Writing Metadata to Files in Bridge (Mac) but not in Bridge (PC)

We get an error when writing metadata to files in Bridge (Mac) but not in Bridge (PC). In the same drive and folder, the PC can successfully write a keyword to a file on the PC, where the Mac returns an error. I have researched this at the Adobe Knowledgebase, but their answer seemed to indicate it was a global issue, and we don't see that behavior on the PC.
The client is a Mac of course, and the server volume is a Windows share volume. The Mac is bound to AD, and the domain\username and username formats have both been tried when logging in, but you receive the error in both.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi, I'm having the same problem using FreeNAS (which uses Samba and Netatalk in the backend), but I tried with both AFP and SMB on Mavericks and Yosemite, I still have the same issue. I think it might be a timing issue with how lightroom interact with a slower write delay using network shares. I suggest you also chime into this thread: Lightroom 5 can't write metadata to DNG files I really hope this is resolved as this is impacting my productivity as I moved my workflow to my Macbook with a shared NAS.

My project plays on any Mac but not on my dvd player. Please advise.

Unfortunately that didn't do the trick. For the life of me I can't figure this one out. However, if I author it using iDVD (with the same media) it works? I'd make do with IDVD if I could get rid of the Apple logo in the lower right corner.

Custom Dashcode widget works fine on mac, but not in iBooks

I wrote a dashcode widget that works fine on my mac but not in iBooks, what am I doing wrong?
I am trying to create a widget that performs a specific calculation when the user inputs the 2 variables. However when I go to preview it on my iPad, the button that performs the calculation disapears. It is visible in the thumbnail, but once you launch to full size... bye bye...
Help is appreciated. Are buttons not allowed?

it sets the size of the widget when displayed as a widget full screen or whatever size the png is
That is not correct. What sets the size of the widget when it runs is the canvas size of the widget, not Default.png.
At the link below, you can find a widget with a Default.png of 140x200 pixels. When you run the widget, it displays at 900x607 pixels.
http://www.triodia.com/staff/michi/drumming/RopeCalc.zip
This demonstrates that Default.png has nothing to do with the size of the widget when it runs. Default.png need not even have the same aspect ratio as the widget canvas.

Why can you run windows on a mac, but not mac on windows

I dont understant why you can run windows on a mac, but not mac on windows. Any help. I would purchase OS X Mountain Lion if you gave me a way.

Microsoft builds software to run on other companies' hardware, pretty much exclusively if you don't count the long line of failed devices: Zune, Windows phone, and now the Surface.
Apple builds hardware. They support that hardware with their own operating system. It is designed to run only on their very tightly integrated hardware. Trying to write software for the plethora of crap being sold would be a failing proposition and would divert resources away from the great software they provide for their hardware customers.
The hardware and software are very well engineered to provide the best possible experience.
If you want to experience a Mac, buy a Mac.
