Has anyone actually networked a Mac with a PC running Vista?

Hey guys.
Posted a topic up a while ago about my problem with networking together my MacBook Pro and my home PC running Vista. But have still not had any answers that help.
I was just wondering if anyone has actually successfully networked the two together, and how did they do it?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

Yes, I have my home network set up to include both. One thing you could look at is your account names on both machines because that can cause problems: AFAIR, Vista will not permit someone to log in externally using a differently named account. The passwords may also have to be the same.
I have administrator rights on both machines and have file sharing set on both machines. From my PC I can access any folder on my Mac and access files. From my Mac I can only access shared folders on my PC.

Has anyone actually used PS CS6 with the new Macbook pro?

There has been an awful lot of discussion about how the new macbook will work with CS6, mostly talk about the UI, but has anyone used it? How does it work with the retina display (other than the UI)? Yes, Adobe is going to make it retina compatible and we don't know if they will charge for the upgrade or not. But I'd like feedback from someone who is using the new Macbook pro with CS6.
Thanks!

Thanks. I have scoured the forums and nobody has used it - or if anyone has, they haven't said squat. Anyway, I took the plunge, downloaded the app and it is absolutely stunning on my rMBP. Even though, as you say, it is at the pixel representation I've always had. I can't wait until the update and full retina representation.
It is fast as blazes, sharp as a tack. A beautiful thing. I'll play with it some more to see how it performs. But so far with some short tests, the rendering is almost instantanious and the colors are brilliant.
So far, so good.

EBuyNow - has anyone actually received anything fr...

Hi everyone,
In early October I purchased the Freetalk camera for a Sharp Aquos TV from ebuynow. At this point they were showing out of stock with an expected delivery date of October 13th. October 13th my EBuynow account said "At warehouse - Will ship shortly".
On October 17th asking what was happening - at which point I was told the cameras will only be in stock on November 5th (so why did it say at warehouse?) and received $2 skype credit as a gift. I was a bit annoyed, but could cope with another 2 weeks wait.
November 1st, I receive an email saying these devices will only be in stock on November 20th. On the 20th, I tried to logging into my account to see what was happening, only for their system to say it didn't recognise my account. Even trying to reset my password returned an "account not found" message.
As a result, I emailed them asking what xxx xxxx was going on (I've been waiting a month for this camera and keep getting dicked around) only for them to reply stock is now arriving on December 5th. Went on their website to confirm and their website says stock arriving on December 6th - so I have a feeling I'm going to get screwed over on this again.
Has anyone actually received anything from ebuynow? Or should I just ring my credit card company and get them to reverse the charges? For me it seems the only thing this "global logistics company" does well is take your money.

N80 & HOME MEDIA SERVER, HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY GOT I...

Has anyone actually got their N80 to connect to thier pc's using the Simple server home media server software, if so what firmware have you got on your phone and what access point / wireless router are you using ?.
My N8- connects to my network just fine and can browse the internet just fine too, and I can also query my N80 using a upnp test program and it shows up just fine using that so it shows the upnp is not getting blocked by anything, but some some reason it just will not show up in the Pc software and when you try to connect to the pc with the N80 all you get is searching for devices..........
When I quey the phone with the test program I get :
Description: Multimedia Device
DeviceType: urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaServer:1
FriendlyName: N80
Manufacturer: Nokia
ManufacturerUrl: http://www.nokia.com/
ModelName: Nokia N80
ModelNumber:
ModelURL: http://www.nseries.com/
PresentationUrl:
SerialNumber:
UDN: uuid:f0086e4c-f219-10e0-ae0f-0016BC7B14C
UPC:
So it seems to be working......

its late and i have not read your post in full (too bad).
if you've got the server installed (plus UPnP enabled on your router) you should see your phone. if the server can see it you will see a large picture of the N80 there, check the tabs. if you can't do anything with it (like i experienced initially), make sure you got into your actual phones home network sharing settings. i have to share the phones contents each time i use the sever. this finally makes the server see the phones contents as it displays additional tabs once properly connected (i.e. copy to device, copy from device).
give that a go.

Has anyone actually gotten the 2.2 Software Upgrade to work?

I know there are numerous threads about the 2.2 Software Upgrade and how it's not working.
Has anyone actually gotten it to work??
If you have, please reply with what you did to make it work, how long it took you, etc..
Thanks in advance!

Thank you, Thank you Henry1---I hit update, unplugged my iPod-touch,and whala!! the update downloaded to my itunes account. I did have to pay when I had first bought it thru itunes- I tried updating, and syncing several times in the past week or two without success. While my ipod was unplugged I also reset my network settings on the ipod under the settings, general, reset menus before I plugged it back in. When I plugged it back in I had to hit update again to download it to the ipod and then sync to get any applications/games to go on to the ipod. Thanks again Henry1--we were racking our brains trying to figure out if we had the "right network settings" on the computer and/or the computer.

Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?

Hi. I have a OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 Mac Book Air, Processor 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?
The video starts out fine, but if I click on the expand icon in the lower right corner of the screen the audio won't keep up.
Refreshing the page don't help at all. In fact, nothing seems to help once it starts.
I did not have this problem at all using Mavericks. The problem started after installing Yosemite.
Any way to fix it?

only $99, i thought it was closer to $175.

Has anyone actually received an answer to a question?

I posted a question two weeks ago, about flash player just going to a black screen when maximized to full screen and NEVER received an reply. Has anyone actually gotten an answer to any question by this method?
To ADOBE: I'm sure this is a waste of time, since I doubt anyone from Adobe actually reads these things, but I need to vent. This is the crappiest customer service I have ever experienced. Instead of actually having someone at your company respond to e-mail questions you put the burden of solving YOUR PROBLEM to your other customers. This is a disgusting habit and if there is another option out there other than flashplayer, I'm going to find it, use it and start recommending it to everyone I know. Your company is crap.

Problem I have is the swatch doesn't come along for the ride.
Illustrator makes a gradient from color to clear that can go on top of a raster image and print fine on any output device we've ever owned. InDesign has the gradient feather option which is similar but requires for the two major output devices we have us to either create a TIFF or RIP the item through a prepress system (RAMPage Harlequin RIP, GMG Color Proof's Adobe PDF Print Engine) and send a flattened file. Either way it is Flattened Filesville if you are using InDesign, not if you are using Illustrator.
If you paste just the swatch and not a group you get this:
It's been a gripe of mine with InDesign for years (I know there is a feature request form) and the only solution I know of is to flatten files. I've had several workflow vendors promise a good solution and all of them boil down to sending the file through Product X and spitting out a normalized (flat as a pancake) file to the output device's RIP and turning all their color management tricks off on the output device. I know I can do this, but I don't want to have to RIP every single job that is a one off single – twenties quantity poster through a RIP the same way I do an offset job. It just makes me feel like the textbook Bob Levine adage of "your printer is stuck in 1995" kind of scenario. We aren't talking hokey cheapo output devices too. I'm talking first birthday over two hundred kilobuck output devices.

Has anyone in Australia had problems with their appleTV and Virgin 4G wifi?

Is there an actual technical support question there?
If curiousity was the only reason for posting, a simple search of the forums could have provided answers.

Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with 8800GT?

Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with the new 8800GT? I'm about to order a new Mac Pro and wonder if Aperture will get a speed boost with the 8800GT over the HD 2600XT. I've read many times that Aperture is very GPU dependent, but then I've also read, on Barefeats.com for example, that the graphics card really doesn't do that much of a difference after all.
For me, on my dual 2.0 G5 with 4.5GB and a X800XT, what's been most annoying with Aperture 1.5 has been the slow load times for raw images (15-20MB). But now with the quick preview mode in Aperture 2.0, that really isn't an issue any more.
Is the 8800GT worth waiting for, or should I just get the Mac Pro now with the HD 2600XT?

Hi Don
I'm using Aperture 2.0 with the 8800GT. My system is the new MacPro 8 core 2.8GH with 10GB RAM. I'm shooting Nikon D3 lossless compressed RAW files. Approximately 12-14MB each.
I do not need to use the quick preview mode. Images open instantaneously,either fit to screen or 100%. All the image adjustments are shown with no time lag. My D2X uncompressed raw files,19MB, display in approximately one second with quick preview turned off.
I'm no MAC hardware expert so I don't know how much the speed is the result of the 8800GT but I'm just one happy camper.
Hope this helps

Has anyone maxed out their mac?

i ask this out of curiosity for the bigger and faster machines. i can understand the needs and wants for faster, but has anyone maxed out their mac? and with what? i have lots installed and running on mine im sure not as much as a lot of people, but i still have lots available. so jsut wondering about the need for 200g

15-20gb is gone off my drive just for parallels, i have about another 15gb dedicated to music, another 10gb for movies and tv shows. My mbp has just a little under 6gb left free, but this is only due to constant clean up of "temporary" (eg - not useful to me anymore) files. I had opted for a 100gb 7200rpm drive, I now almost wish I had went for the 120gb option.

Has anyone ever send your mac pro to repair?

has anyone ever send your mac pro to repair?what's the process?do you need to provide the receipt?some rebate ask you to mail-in your receipt,will this affect the repair service?

Hi,
The main process for repairs are to go through either Apple Care on the phone, or take the computer to an Authorized Service Center, or see a "Genious" at a local Apple Retail Store. Apple Care will send you a box to send the computer in to them, and Authorized Service Center will repair the computer, or send it to all, the Apple Store will do teh same thing. They fix some things, while most of the time the computer gets sent to Apple. You only need to reciept if you are going to return or exchange the computer within the 14 exchange period. So even if your reciept is long gone, Apple will still fix the computer.
If you don't mind me asking, whats wrong with your MacBook Pro? Hope this helps.

EOS 7D Mark II - Has anyone else experienced compatibility problems with the Tamron SP 70-300MM?

Has anyone else experienced compatibility problems with the Tamron SP 70-300MM?

Is the lensora report based on actual testing... or merely theoretical?
I'm wondering ... because there's a well-established history of 3rd party lenses that should be compatible based on the mount, but have problems anyway when a new camera model is introduced that did not exist when the lens was designed.
At the same time, if you contact the lens vendor for support, they may be able to provide better data and sometimes they can re-chip or re-flash firmware into the lens to upgrade it to a compatible state.

Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?

Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file? Itunes locks up when i attempt a sync as well as when I transfer my purchases from my phone to Itunes. I'm running Itunes 10.4.1 on iOS 4.3.5. All of this is running on an 8 year old hp pavillian laptop running XP Pro that is fully updated. Could my phone have a bug or a hardware problem. Are there any known problems with iOS 4.3.5? Pretty frustrating problem so I'm hoping that someone has heard of this and can offer some suggestions on a solution. Thanks a bunch.

Did you used to have service and now suddenly you don't?
This happened to me a few years back, and several other iPhone users in my neighborhood, and after a while on the phone with AT&T they figured out that a technician had recently adjusted the receiver/sender on the tower and it was slightly off. They sent them back up and I actually had a better signal after than I did before it went out.
I would call AT&T and explain the issue you are having and see if they can fix it.
If you never had service there then like wjosten said it's probably just a bad zone.
Hope you get it sussed out.
