Going from .Mac to Comcast

Hi. When I bought our iMac almost 2 years ago I signed us up with Comcast as our isp. Each of us has his own email address with Comcast. Although I also have a Comcast email address, I chose to use my .Mac email address. Now I've decided to not re-new my .Mac account and need to switch email service from .Mac to my Comcast address. Since I am subscribed in so many places (including Discussions), is it possible to have my email go to my Comcast mail instead of my .Mac account? Thanks for any help.

"I have problem in keeping my songs on iPOD when connecting to my new PC?"
Well a Mac formatted iPod cannot be read by a pc without the use of 3rd party software (such as XPlay2), and of course if you reformat the iPod for pc use, you'll lose the songs.
Do you still have access to the Mac, or are your songs on the iPod only?

  • Going from mac to pc- genius bar screwed me

    Okay I had my ipod since january and I had a problem with it once, my computer was taking too long to recognize it. So I took it into the genius bar and he connected it to his macintosh, I am an adament PC user (i know i know i need to get a mac), I told him i use a pc and everything, My pc is not recognizing my ipod, im getting a message that says "Device is not formatted for Windows" so i naturally went to the restore so i can reformat it but the ipod updater says unable to mount ipod. I have 5k songs on my ipod now i need to add another k of songs and im so frustrated please someone help a fellow ipod user out. Basically i need to reformat my ipod from mac to pc using a pc cuz i dont have a mac.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are no songs on your iPod, right (since it was restored)?
    Make sure the software on your computer is up to date...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Update iPod's Software
    Also, try connecting the iPod via a different USB port.
    You may want to try putting the iPod in Disk Mode prior to connecting it and see if you are able to restore it (while it is in Disk Mode)...
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    Finally, if you can't get the iPod to restore, then try connecting it and opening My Computer. Does the iPod show up in My Computer? Try right clicking it and going to Format. Does anything happen?

  • Font issues in Illustartor going from Mac to PC

    We are using Illustrator CS3 with Adobe Open Type fonts on both a PC and Mac machine. When opening an .ai file on the PC that was created on the Mac, we get all the missing font errors. Both computers have the same fonts installed. The interesting thing is that files created on the PC open fine on the Mac without any font issues. What's the deal?
    Thanks, Kevin

  • Why Can't I Open My PNG Files? Going from MAC to PC

    I created .png files in Photoshop CS on my MAC. Now I can't open them in Photoshop 6 on my PC running Windows Vista. Why? The files open as blank. All .jpg and .psd files open with no trouble.

    I just installed PhotoShop 6.0 on from an old disk (licensed) onto my laptop Toshiba PC running Windows Vista. I have had no problems so far except for this .png issue. I basically just wanted a high-resolution image with a transparent background. I suppose I could try to save them again as uncompressed .psd images on my MAC and try opening them again on the laptop...but I hate having to do weird things like that. png should work!

  • Going from Mac to PC environment - keyboard shortcut help

    I just began working on a PC workstation and realized how much of a hassle it is due to the fact that the keyboard shortcut locations are so different.  For instance...
    If I wanted to perform an Undo, I would push Apple+Z on my Mac keyboard.  However if I am on a PC and wish to do an Undo, I would have to push Ctrl+Z (which unlike a Mac is NOT the button next to the spacebar).
    The button next to the spacebar on a PC happens to be the Alt button, which is what I always end up hitting because I'm so used to working on a Mac1  Does somebody have a PC Adobe Creative Suite preset file that conains all the keyboard shortcuts with the Alt and Ctrl buttons already switched?  Or is there some way I could easily switch the Alt and Ctrl buttons without having to change each individual command manually? Thanks.

    How about thinking outside of the box... the Creative Suite box? What happens when you are  using something other than a CS app and need to undo something? Those CS shortcuts would not really help you and would cause more confusion.
    As one that uses both platforms, I can assure you that what you are experiencing should be very temporary. It is not that difficult to mentally manage the shuffling of a couple keys.
    If you are committed to modifying your keyboard, you could try an app like this:
    http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/
    You could also use this app with a Mac keyboard connected to your Windows computer, as suggested above. If I recall correctly, a Mac keyboard on Windows will make the COMMAND key equal to the WINDOWS key. Either, way, you are setting yourself up for huge headaches because these keys mean slightly different things on each computer. Just learn how to use the Windows keyboard as it is. I'm sure you cannot really be mentally challenged over this.

  • Problems using ipod as portable hard drive for school (going from mac to pc

    I was trying to use my ipod as a kind of flash drive, but when i got to school to retrieve my paper off my ipod, the pc computer said that my external disc was not formatted. I DID NOT format my ipod. Any Ideas on how to remedy this?

    Open up an iPod Updater on a Windows machine and restore the software. I'm not sure if it works on the Update option

  • Strange sounds from Mac Pro

    Strange clicks going from Mac Pro soon after power up.
    It may going from memory cage when temperature of memory is rising.
    Any ideas?

    Or the graphic card if it has a fan. Or the fans if one is loose.
    You should at least for awhile monitor the temperatures with one of the free/shareware utilities. If you push the system, you might even want to boost the fans from their default.
    Try running Apple Hardware Test after you check for dust, loose cards. Could it be the PSU?

  • When going from a Mac-based Ai to a PC based Ai, the documents "Font" are not found on the PC version?  (mostly Helvetica) where and how do I get those Fonts?  And/or, can I use the Mac version of these Fonts?

    Thanks, Rich

    In order to be cross platform you must be using the Open Type version of all fonts to cause the least disruption. Macs can read and process the Windows .ttf  type format but PCs can't process Mac formatted type. Most recent versions also cannot use the older PS Type 1 fonts.

  • I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

    I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

    It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer.  Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results?  If so how do I do this?  Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is?  Very new/green user here

  • Going from Windows to Mac

    My brother-in-law just ordered a new iMac from the Apple store. He's leaving it up to me to get all his files transferred from the PC to the iMac. I have an external hard drive formatted for Windows that I will use for this. He has an iTunes library on his Windows PC. Can I re-create the library on his new iMac using the external hard drive?
    On Apple's support site, I found an article explaining how to back up an iTunes library with an external drive, then restoring the library backup. Is this all I need to do? Will it work going from PC to iMac? Will any songs he purchased from iTunes be included in the transfer?

    I think you'll find all the answers you need in this article: Move iTunes from PC to MAC, http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/moveitunes_windowsmac.html

  • Acrobat X Pro no longer edits pdf's after doing clean install going from 10.9 to 10.10 on mac.

    all other suite programs seem to work just fine. Just not Acrobat X. Was install from upgrade serials numbers. Acrobat X does not work well using Yosemite for me.....

    I am not able to edit scanned documents that once could. They were scanned in as PDF files. The files that I once could edit in Acrobat x Pro are no longer editable. Past PDF's that I used change dates and resend no work. I did a clean install going from maverick 10.9 to yosemite 10.10 due to an issue with third party program. Since the clean install I have not been able to see or work on older adobe files that I once could. Everything that had a adobe icon attach to it has disappeared and been replaced with an apple pdf icon. It will not let me select areas as I once could to even copy and paste.
    Thanks-

  • Documents from Mac added to iCloud do not show up in Pages on iPhone 4S

    Synopsis: Dcouments added to iCloud through Safari on Mac do not show up in Pages on iPhone 4S. New documents created in Pages on iPhone do not show up in iCloud. I expect the doucments to appear on my iPhone soon after uploading them from my Mac to iCloud through Safari, and to appear in iCloud soon after switching to the document listing in Pages and leaving the app. Several hours passed by without transfer happening, and I have waited a day and reconnected to Wi-Fi to wait several more hours. Still nothing shows up either in Pages on iPhone, or in iCloud in Safari on Mac. They are listed with their sizes and extensions (.pages or .pages-tef) in the iPhone Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Pages, though they don't seem selectable from there.
    Software versions and Settings:
    Mac
    Mac OS X 10.7.2 (Lion)
    Safari 5.1.1
    Pages 4.1
    System Preferences > iCloud: signed in; everything selected, except Photo Stream (no iPhoto).
    Everything seems to work, except Find My Mac is flakey.
    iPhone 4S
    iOS 5.0
    Pages 1.5 (417) [no other iWork apps]
    Documents:
    the defualt "Getting Started";
    a test document with default name "Blank" and content with the word "Testing", shown with upwards arrow in upper right corner; tried renaming to "Just testing", no transfer resulted.
    Plus button + offers: Create Document; copy from iTunes, iDisk, WebDAV; no iCloud (probably because it's supose to be auto);
    Settings > Pages:
    Use iCloud: ON
    Restore: OFF; I have tried this, it automatically turns itself off after restarting Pages. No obvious changes result in Pages.
    Settings > Wi-Fi: ON, connected to a network; tried several networks around town, as well as at home with a Time Capsule router.
    Settings > iCloud:
    everything ON, except Photo Stream;
    Documents & Data:
    Documents & Data: ON
    Use Cellular: ON; also tried OFF initially.
    Storage & Backup:
    Manage Storage > Pages:
    three documents in iCloud are listed, one of which I had created before iCloud on iPhone 3GS, and deleted from iPhone 4S after documents added to iCloud from Mac weren't showing up as expected;
    their sizes are given;
    suffixes are .pages for the two created on Mac, and .pages-tef for the one created on iPhone 3GS (before iCloud);
    iCloud Backup: ON; successfully backs up everyday;
    Email works, contacts are synced, calendar works, and everything seems fine except access to documents.
    Approaches:
    Software updates
    Updated all software, no further updates available. Please confirm with aforementioned version numbers.
    Add and Remove Documents
    Used Safari to add two documents to iCloud with its menu for Pages of iCloud's iWork section, one at a time. Documents were originally created in Pages on Mac, and continuously edited since then. Explicitly saved documents (Save a Version on Lion) before uploading. Documents appeared listed in web page without problem.
    Have tried deleting a document on iPhone that was originally created with Pages on iPhone 3GS prior iOS 5 as a way to jog the listing on iCloud. Listing on iCloud in Safari on Mac continues to show document deleted from iPhone. [Before deleting document, I had updated iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 and signed into iCloud a couple days before getting iPhone 4S, then immediately used the restore from iCloud feature for the iPhone 4S in the Apple retail store, updated all apps on Mac and iPhone, then deleted the document in Pages on iPhone.]
    On iCloud in Safari on Mac: deleted the two documents uploaded from Mac; added the same documents again; edited documents on Mac, then uploaded and chose "Replace documents"; removed documents again; added them again. Never showed up in Pages on iPhone, even after waiting a day.
    Have used iTunes to add the same documents to Pages on iPhone. Successfully opened documents in Pages on iPhone through plus button + > Copy from iTunes. Deleted documents from Pages's document listing, though they remain in iTunes section.
    Removed documents of same name, though older copies, from Pages in iTunes for the iPhone.
    Created a new document with Pages on iPhone, simply added one word "Testing" and then switched to document listing. New document has name "Blank" and an arrow in the upper right corner indicating it will upload next time an internet connection is established. That hasn't happened regardless of being connected to Wi-Fi and cellular for several hours. Next day, reconnected to internet with both Wi-Fi and cellular, the new dcoument "Blank" still is not in iCloud when I visit the site in Safari on Mac, and still has the arrow in the upper right corner in Pages on iPhone.
    iPhone 4S Connected to Internet
    Connected to Wi-Fi several hours each day, and cellular all day except from about 10pm to 7am when I switch it to Airplane mode. Always connected to Wi-Fi and cellular when attempting to access the documents in Pages on iPhone.
    Restart iPhone and Pages
    Have double-pressed Home button on iPhone to reveal along the bottom of screen a list of apps currently open, touched and held an icon to reveal the close badge on all icons, and selected the close badge on Pages, waited a few seconds, then started Pages again.
    Have held On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears, then powered off iPhone, waited a few seconds, then held button again to start. Have done this with Pages either open or closed, per previous note. Still no change in document listing for Pages: test document still has not gone to iCloud, documents in iCloud still have not shown.
    I think the only thing I haven't done is a complete restore.
    Question: Can anybody point out what I might have missed or haven't tried that would get the documents from iCloud to Pages and vice versa?
    I'm not looking forward to several hours of restoring, but if I must…
    TIA

    Okay, I'm not sure what finally jogged it. It seems to be finally working.
    After downloading any documents I could from iCloud to my Mac, I deleted all the documents from iCloud. I also deleted all documents from Pages on iPhone, except the original "Getting Started" document.
    I duplicated the "Getting Started" document (Pages on iPhone) and edited it by moving the butterfly to the left on the same page, then switched to the Documents view. It had the arrow in the upper right corner of "Getting Started Copy", but no progress bar and nothing showed up in iCloud.
    Then, I think I went to Settings > Pages > Use iCloud: NO. Went back to Pages and got a dialog in the Documents listing:
         You are not using iCloud
    What would you like to do with the
         documents currently on this
                        iPhone?
    Keep on My iPhone
    Delete from My iPhone
    Continue Using iCloud
    I tried keeping them, then going back and turning it back on in Pages's settings, then going back to Pages. Finally something different happened: a progress bar on the "Getting Started copy" document. It never seem to finish, and would disappear if the phone went to sleep. I tried the whole sequenece again with same result, and nothing on iCloud.
    I then tried Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: OFF, and agreed to "Turn Off Documents" and have all documents stored in iCloud deleted, because as far as I could tell there weren't any documents in iCloud at this point anyways. I went back to Pages and the "Getting Started copy" suddenly disappeared.
    So, I went back to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: ON, and did the same for Settings > Pages > Use iCloud: ON. Oddly, Pages now tried to download "Getting Started copy" even though it really shouldn't have existed anymore. I tried iCloud in Safari on Mac and saw there now was a document by that name, but when selected it said "Updating…" on it. I deleted it in iCloud, and it disappeared (I think, or I deleted it) in Pages on iPhone.
    I gave up and waited a bit, maybe an hour or two.
    I made sure all the settings were how they needed to be, noticed no documents in iCloud, and only the original "Getting Started" document in Pages on iPhone. I duplicated that document, and that's when it seemed to actually work. First, the arrow in its upper right corner appeared briefly, then a progress bar appeared on it instead, then the progress bar actually moved and completed. (I think. Some indicator happened. Everything is kind of fuzzy at this point while I'm writing this and juggling a couple other technical tasks.) Then I checked iCloud in Safari on Mac and the document was there. Wow.
    So, I immediately tried uploading to iCloud from my Mac the two documents I had been trying, one at a time. Each time the document succeeded in iCloud, it suddenly appeared in Pages on iPhone. In fact, the second document began to appear in the documents listing in Pages on iPhone just before the progress bar in iCloud completed.
    I tried opening each one in Pages on iPhone, and iCloud immediately updated each one with a preview and as downloadable. I downloaded them to the Mac and they opened fine. [Admittedly, the Pages version from iCloud of the "Getting Started copy" with the moved butterfly was a little different in Pages on Mac: it had the butterfly on the previous page underneath everything; the PDF version of that document had everything correct.]
    Anyways, the document listing between iCloud and Pages on iPhone is working now.
    I thinking it might have helped to clear out all the documents in iCloud and deleting all documents in Pages for iPhone. However, be sure to at least email copies from Pages on iPhone first if you don't have any backups. I think it might also have helped to turn off Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: OFF, so it'll send that signal to delete the documents in iCloud, even if there's already nothing there. I don't know for sure, but that's probably the way to start from scratch. Oh, and maybe wait an hour or two after that before doing anything again, then turn Documents & Data: ON, and Pages > Use iCloud: ON, and then start by creating a new document in Pages on iPhone.
    I'm just glad I didn't have to do a Restore from iTunes. And now that it's working, it's so instant between Pages on iPhone and iCloud! This is seeming like it will definitely be great, now that it's working.

    Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.
