Email and calendar app for both MAC and PC

I have purchased a HP MediaSmart Server for my small home-based office. There will be 4 computers which access the server-2 macs (all running OS 10.5) and 2 PCs (1 running Vista and 1 running XP). Does anyone know of an email and calendar app which can be accessed by all computers? The server runs on MS Windows Home Server.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Depends – if you are planning on connecting to an Exchange Server then I would suggest that you install Crossover (www.codeweavers.com) on your Mac’s and then Office 2003/Outlook. I am connecting to an Exchange Server running Windows Small Business Server 2003 and have not had any problems using Outlook and sharing Calendar data between my XP and Mac systems.
If you are not planning on using Exchange and your mail usage is not that demanding (less than 20 messages daily) the you could use the basic Mail clients that come with OSX (Mail) and Windows (Outlook Express).

  • Video formats and optimum settings for both Mac and Windows XP

    Now this is a strange one: I create a Windows Media (WMV) file and it plays great on the Mac (I have Flip4Mac installed also). However, it doesn't play on Windows XP in MSIE -- but the QuickTime (.M4V file) does. I do have QuickTime installed on the WXP. I guess the following questions are of interest not only to me but to a lot of people:
    1. What are the absolute optimum settings and format for a QuickTime file that will be played on an Apple in Safari or other browser? .MOV? .M4V? .MP4?
    2. Same question for Windows XP. .AVI? .WMV?
    I know there is a lot of already available information on this but I'm looking for a video expert who has troubleshot this to death and has this down and working on an existing website.
    NOTE: I would make it a Flash file but Keynote exports a non-playing Flash format file as does QuickTime, so no luck there. Also, for some stupid reason Keynote separates the audio and video when exporting to a QuickTime movie and what's with that?
    Sorry this got long but not only I, but I'm sure a lot of people have this set of questions. Much appreciated.

  • Looking for a good GTD app for both Mac and Windows

    I have looked around the internet quite a bit and haven't found anything that looks promising. Lots of great Mac-only task management/Get Things Done (GTD) software, but I need something that will also work with Windows. Any Suggestions?

    Look at Google apps. calendar and mail and text and spreadsheet

  • I have partitioned my time capsule, but I can't get it to work as a Time Machine back up and permanent media server for both mac and PC. What format do I need to partition the drive to so that it works for both mac and windows and so that it will be visab

    I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
    Thanks

    You are mixing up a couple of things here.
    The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
    If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
    You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
    There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
    Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
    Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
    You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC.

    Hello CS Community: I am about to renew my CS cloud subscription for one year. My current subscription is for one user for both Mac (and) PC. When I renew, how do I know I'm getting a subscription for both my MAC and my PC? It's not clear what is included in the purchase. I'm choosing the 49.00 a month package. Any insight would be much appreciated.

  • Advice on improving graphics for app for both iPad and iPhone

    I am creating an app for both iPad and iPhone 4 and it looks terrible on the iPhone 4.
    I have created the Flash File in Flash CS5.5 IDE with Movie Size 1024 x 768 and I am using the following AIR for IOS settings:
    Rendering: CPU
    Device: iPhone and iPad
    Resolution: High
    All my graphics are vector so I assumed that it would look crisp on both devices. It is not as perfect looking on the iPad as it appears on my PC monitor but I can live with it. I can't however live with the iPhone 4 appearance.
    I am therefore seeking advice on how to improve the iPhone 4 appearance.
    As far as I am aware, there is not a way to use 2 sets of graphics, one for each device. Please correct me if this is wrong and it would offer me a solution.
    Would doing all the graphics as PNG be a solution?
    Btw I am using AIR 3.2 SDK if that has any relevance and my graphics are static.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for the swift reply Colin. I do not recall setting a stage.quality setting - is the default setting low?
    I did a quick google search and see this appears to be the code I need. I assume I put this in the first frame of my Flash movie?
    stage.quality = StageQuality.MEDIUM;
    Thanks

  • Mac Mini freezes at startup for both mac and windows. Any Ideas?

    Mac Mini freezes at startup for both mac and windows. Any Ideas?

    Thanks for getting back so quickly. But, it worked. I did what you said and now it works doing a normal boot to in both Windows and Mac. I wonder what went wrong, as both operating systems didn't boot (I tried numerous times).
    Anyway, thanks.

  • I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone

    I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone and now I have a new iMac but the Apps didn't install? I thought when you bought an App that is on one device it would be available on all other devices? The App store is now wanting me to pay for the Apps again? Is this right? Do I have to buy another  version of these Apps for the iMac?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    That is determined by what type of disk that it is. It may be a disk that only allows you to install Windows on your Dell computer and would not allow Windows to be installed on a Boot Camp partitition or as a virtual machine in an app such as VirtualBox on your Mac. If that is the case, you would need to purchase a retail Windows install disk.

  • Upgrade for both mac and windows

    I use PSE 9 (Photoshop Elements) on my Windows box and PE 11 (Premiere Elements) on my Mac, (both registered).  The upgrade on the Adobe site offers download for a single platform.  After I download for one platform, can I come back somewhere and download for the other?

    Buy it in a box and you get discs for both platforms and a serial number that works on both. If you're in the US you can be sure that the full version will be cheaper than the adobe  upgrade version soon, especially around Black Friday, if you watch online retailers and big box stores.

  • Use Sign.xml and Encrypt.xml for both request AND response within WSDL?

    Hi,

    Instead of specifying policies for input and output separately you could place the policy reference only once in the operation element. Maybe will this solve your problem...

  • Do I need to buy Keynote app for both iPad and Macbook Pro?

    Thus far, I use email to forward my Powerpoint from work (where I use a PC) to home (where I use a Macbook Pro).   This results in my occasionally having various forms of my presentations out there and I sometimes get confused as to which is the most current. 
    Using Keynote to "store" my presentations on the cloud when I'm not editing them would be great.  I guess I'm just wondering if I have to buy the app for my Macbook Pro AND buy it for my iPad, or would buying it for one device put it on all of my apple devices (including iPhone)? 
    Does anybody know?

    Yes, you do. The Mac OS X and iOS versions are separate products.

  • Use 1 Library for both Mac and PC OS's?

    I have a pretty basic question about itunes. I am running a Mac Pro and bootcamp with Windows Vista on the other side. I have 3 seperate Hdds. One for Mac...One for PC...And one for audio files and pictures and other stuff.
    I did have my itunes music library on my Mac Hdd for when Im running OSX. Well i still do. But what I want to do is move my itunes library to the 3rd Hdd (non-bootable) and hopefully use it for both the Mac OSX and the PC Vista side. So instead of having the same library copied to 2 seperate Hdds for the 2 seperate OS's Ill have 1 itunes library and be able to access it from both Os's. I have Mac drive 7 installed so I know I can access the 3rd HFS+ comp drive from the PC OS.
    So how do I go about doing this right so I dont screw anything up?

    The easiest way to do this, I think, involves copying the Music folder from OS X to the new hard drive. Then delete the old Music folder from the OS X drive. Create an alias to the new Music folder, copy it to your home folder, and rename it to the same name as the folder you copied. (i.e. copy /Users/john/Music/iTunes to AUDIO/Music/iTunes, then create an alias to iTunes and copy it to /Users/john/Music. Rename the alias to iTunes.)
    Dealing with Windows is more difficult, as only Explorer follows shortcuts (NTFS doesn't support 'true' symlinks). I think you can set iTunes to read the AUDIO/Music/iTunes folder as its library folder in Edit > Preferences.
    Good luck.

  • Printing from Airport Extreme for both Mac and PC

    I have both a mac and a PC. Both are connected to the internet using the Airport Extreme. Here's my problem. Currently I can only print from the Mac but not the PC. I was told that I would be using the airport extreme I would be able to use one printer for both computers. The printer I am using is an HP Office Jet 6310, which is compatible with both a Mac and a PC. Can anyone help me?

    I recently purchased a Canon Pixma MP610 and it is connected to an AE. My Macbook prints fine to it. My PC laptop doesn't. I used to have a Canon Pixma 1600 that printed fine for both computers (I used iFelix's 1004.html steps to install for the PC)
    I have tried the Add Printer on the PC using the same 1004.html steps with no luck. I have also used the 1008.html steps to install using the Bonjour Wizard with no luck.
    When I say no luck, I mean it sees the printer, it has the proper drivers, but when I print a test page, it can't connect.
    I Add a Printer and test and it fails, I then delete the printer and install it a different way. The weird thing is hours later, the test page will be there sitting on my printer. But I don't know why it took so long or which printer install method worked.
    I have now installed 4-5 different printers and hit Test Page on all of them. I named each printer something different so in case the Test page comes out, I'll know which printer works.
    I'm almost there I feel, but just can't get it.
    Any suggestions iFelix or anyone else?
