Help! mac to windows.

i wasn't aware of the no windows->mac->windows music transfer stipulation.
my ipod is configured for windows...but recently i added music onto it from a mac. in the meantime i had added more music to my windows itunes.
is there any way to sync the new "mac"-music to my windows library without losing the mac-songs or the new songs that i added to my windows library??

The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    Please help me with this questions "if I purchased items through mac or windows is it possible to re-download those purchases on Apple TV though iCloud"

    It depends on what country you're in and whether or not they're still available in the iTunes Store. Some purchased movies and all rentals won't be available.

  • Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

    Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
    My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
    I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
    For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
    If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

    In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

  • I need help pitching Mac vs Windows to a school

    I am on the technology committee at a local charter school. I am trying to be the Mac advocate, but I am a bit out of my league. I know what I want and use a Mac for but selling it to a school, I dunno. Can you think of any ways to come back against the Windows side as listed below? First is my
    meager Mac list, next is a Windows list from one of the other committee members:
    -Mac vs Windows
    -mac = less virus and hacker support
    -mac = great computers supported by Apple
    -mac = very nice discounts for educational facilities
    eMac 8pack = from $5000 ($625)
    eMac = from $650
    Mac Mini (headless) = from $480
    iBook = from $950
    iBook 5pack = from $4645 ($929)
    iMac = from $1200
    -(nice ed discount for us too through the school =)
    -software available
    -reading
    -writing
    -math
    -science
    -music
    -social studies
    -geography
    -reference
    -creative software
    -educator toolkits available
    -projectors = $750
    Hmm....looks like we have a MAC fan on our hands.
    Heaven help us
    I saw "mac vs. windows", but I didn't see the "windows" side of the equation. I'll help out.
    -Windows more hardware and software choices for lower prices.
    -Choices, choices, choices.
    -Did I say choices?
    -PCs are very inexpensive now.
    -Educational software and reference of every type available...for less.
    -Educational discounts on Windows OS
    -Teacher/student versions are available for office/work type software
    -Hardware is not proprietary and widely available.
    -Software will be the same as what the kids are using at home
    (Windows).Familiarity. Can use/practice their skills on same platform. Not
    switching back and forth Parents can help.
    - More parents will be able to support/help with the school and their kids
    work because of familiarity with PCs.
    Help?
    Thanks,

  • Critical Kernel error while on windows partition, now neither mac or windows will boot help ?

    Hi I was on my windows side of my mac when i got the blue-screen-of-death with something saying Critical Kernel Error, weird noises from the speakers and the macbook pro did a hard shut off.
    Since then I can no longer boot into the mac or windows side (both are stuck infinitely loading). I ran disk utility on the mac side and I have an "Invalid Node Structure." Which disk utility cannot repair. I do have DiskWarrior on another mac to try and rebuild the mac partition through a firewire connection - i think that is the correct course of action ?
    But does this mean my windows partition is likely gone or any idea what went on ? As I am terribly confused that while on my windows side I had an error that messsed up both partitions.
    Or what to check for so this hopefully doesnt happen again if it is a hardware problem? My drive smart status is listed as "OK" and I cant seem to run the Apple Hardware test as upon attempting to get into it the laptop just shuts off while loading it, although I read somewhere the Apple Hardware test is no longer preloaded on macbook pros.
    The system in question is a 15" macbook pro bought around July 2011.
    Thank you,
    Wes

    Alright I have both my mac side and windows side repaired and functioning fine. Should I still be concerned ? Linc I know you are saying this is a drive malfunction but is there a way I can be sure ? I still cannot run AHT (restart, hold down D), and my laptop shipped with Lion installed so I believe it should run. It just boots into the mac side when I hold D..

  • Help: symbol shifting between mac and windows, flash cs3

    I'm doing work reviewing flash files created by other users
    on mac and windows. I'm using os x 10.5.6. When I open a file
    created in windows / flash cs3 some symbols on the stage will have
    shifted upwards on the y axis. If I correct the shift and then send
    it back to the windows user they see the symbols incorrectly
    aligned, as if I had moved symbols around on a correctly aligned
    file.
    The strange thing is not everything on the stage is shifted.
    Only particular symbols will move, and it's usually symbols only
    (not text frames, drawing objects, etc).
    I believe there's a general history of bad behavior when
    saving flash files and trading them back and forth between mac and
    windows, but does anyone know what may be causing this? Or a
    remedy?
    Thank you in advance.
    Peter

    also, I tried opening the same files in vista using a mac
    mini with vista installed on a bootcamp partition. When opening
    other windows authored flash files there I had shifting issues as
    well, so I'm not convinced it's strictly a mac vs. windows issue.
    Unless it's a flash cs3 on windows xp doesn't like mac flash cs3
    and vista flash cs3...

  • Need Help moving from mac to Windows

    I did search the forum, but could not find it, so I thought I will ask.
    I have to move from PowerBook to a Windows XP machine. (I see lots of threads moving from mac to windows but not otherway around).
    How do I move the iTunes music. I want to keep the ratings, don't want to redo the ratings for 1000+ songs.
    If it was previously asked and answered, please point me towards that thread.

    Folks,
    Sorry for the redundant post. I had problem doing this, and was able to make it work. The trick was renaming the file iTunes Library to iTunes Library.itl (with the extension).
    Once I did that, it works well.
    Thanks

    hi guys i used boot camp and turned my mac into windows and i wanted to play a pc game called guild wars 2 and i cant find a proper program to actually setup the game

    Only if you decide to share with us your particular situation. Guild Wars should install and run like any other Game. Other than the Game Installer, Games don't need some other installer to make them work. Only someone who reads the instructions for the proper installation.

  • What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

    Hey Forum,
    I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
    or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
    All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Ala.

    Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
    Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
    But that is the exception that makes the rule.
    SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....

  • How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

    How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
    My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
    Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
    Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
    Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
    Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

  • Using a Mac on windows network with a proxy server

    Hi I’m very new to Macs to apologies if this is a really silly question. I’m
    trying to setup a Mac on our network and I’m having an issue getting it to work
    properly with our proxy server. I have connected the Mac to the network and
    selected automatic proxy configuration in the network settings using the URL of
    our Pac file. I am asked for a proxy username and password when I initially try and
    access a website but once I have entered my credentials they are saved in
    keychain and anyone coming after me can browse using my account. I work in a
    hospital so there are many different people accessing different devices. We
    monitor and trace all users internet browsing so my question is can I configure
    the Mac to ask for proxy credentials for different users? On our windows devices
    a login box will appear if the browser has been closed and reopened. Can I do
    this with the Mac?????
    Any help you can offer will be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    The short answer is that the IT department is a strict Microsoft shop and also incompetent. Almost everything in that message is patently false. Unfortunately, when accessing Microsoft Server services like this, you will need the support of the IT staff to tell you various settings to use. I think it is pretty clear that they have no intention of doing that.
    There is nothing "special" about bootcamp. It is just a boot loader. A Mac running Windows via bootcamp is a Windows PC, not a Mac. As such, it will work perfectly fine in the network. You could also try running Parallels. I believe Parallels can be configured to use a bootcamp partition so you could run Windows via either bootcamp or Parallels.
    One of the few things that is correct is that Apple does have to provide driver support for bootcamp and there is the possibility of random incompatibilities - but no more so than any other PC manufacturer. Parallels/VMWare may work around that with a different set of incompatibilities. Don't be too worried about this part. These "incompatibilities" are minor and almost always with funky hardware devices. What you want to do should work perfectly with either Parallels/VMWare or Bootcamp.

  • Copying files from Mac to Windows-invalid file names

    Unfortunately, my boss likes Windows more than Macs, so we have puchased some new Dell computers to replace older G4 Macs.
    I'm having trouble copying existing files from a Mac (OS 10.4)to the shared drive on the Windows XP computer. I'm getting an error message:
    "You can't copy the item 'filename' because the name is too long or includes characters that the disk can't display." Sometimes it doesn't give a filename, it gives a similar message "Some items couldn't be copied..."
    I assume the person has used some "illegal" file names such as "Meeting minutes 10/7/07" Or maybe we have too many folders inside of folders.
    QUESTION: Is there a correct/better way to copy large quantites of files/folders from Mac to Windows? Or is there a program that will look at the Mac files and alert me to wrong or too long files names?
    Other ideas to copy these files?
    thanks,
    Bill

    You can use a freeware utility like Renamer4Mac or BatchRename'em both of which have built-in filters that will rename files for Windows compatibility.
    Thank you... This sounded to me like it would fix the problem, so I downloaded both and looked at them. However, the manual/help file is very sparse, so I don't know if it will do what I want to and how it would do it.
    1. I couldn't find any option in either program to: Look at all files in selected folder, and list any invalid file names for Windows.
    2. There doesn't seem to be an option to "rename files without bad Windows characters" or "Remove invalid for Windows characters"
    I just couldn't find any explanation of how it was offering to rename the files. I can't rename all files to sequential names, that would make it hard to find a file later.
    Thank you,
    Bill
