How do i adjust from mac Gamma to Windows Gamma in Photoshop CS3?

It was real easy in version 7, all i did is seelct mac to windows in adobe Image Ready. There is not program like that now in CS3...how to i adjust an image with a Mac gamma of 1.8 to the Windows Gamma of 2.2? i tried the convert to profile option, but when i select a gamma of 2.2 it goes all grey....HELP can someone tell me the exact steps??

Computers, PCs or Macs, have no "gamma".

That Levels adjustment does the same thing as the Curves adjustments I suggested. Curves are preferable to Levels, but that's a whole different chapter.

With all respect, you are 100% in error, DEAD WRONG. Macs used an 1.8 gamma for Mac monochrome monitors, and that has been abandoned for decades.
The following remarks are exclusively for the benefit of OTHERS reading this thread in the future. I have regretfully given up on zeno3333 entirely.

The images I am using are not generated by an obsolete workflow....that is what i have been saying all along. The images i make are made in programs other than Photoshop...they are from Bryce like i have mentioned, and from POVRay.The programs make images the way that the programs make them....when i print out that image unaltered in any way, they are too dark on a Windows Printer.....
Zeno3333 unfortunately fails to grasp that Bryce—and any other program he uses while running his improperly calibrated monitor— produce the dark images BECAUSE OF his workflow, which starts out on the wrong foot with a monitor calibrated to gamma 1.8.
It's NOT the fault of the other programs, alas, it's Zeno3333's fault exclusively.

…so please do not blame my "photoshop workflow"…
There absolutely no one and nothing else to blame. It is Zeno3333's workflow at fault, beginning with his improperly calibrated monitor. Period.

WRONG AGAIN! It is Zeno3333 who refuses to understand the basic concepts of color management.
Computers, PCs or Macs, have no "gamma". Color spaces do. And color monitors are calibrated to a given gamma.
The 1.8 gamma for Macs has been abandoned for a very, very long time. What's more, some Windows users used to calibrate their monitors to gamma 1.8 in the distant past. That is ancient history now, but it was by no means a Mac exclusive practice.

How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

depend on the document program more then anything else really
when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

How to delete applications from mac pro?

I think many people struggling at "How to delete appalications from Mac pro ,just because you made some mistakes or curious !" I know it is a bit difficut for people who are new users for the Mac .
If you really don't want them ,you can delete them easily,
As all you know after you download appalications from anywhere ,it could be from apple app store or from other websites. They all can be disspeared if you don't like them .
First , If you installed from apple app store it will be really easily just click at the app on the launchpad, after few seconds all the apps will be all shaking like leaves ,yes they are scared .(No No don't delete me I am helpful !) Ok yes that is a little joke ! so what you can see now there is a small "x" at the top right corner .Can you see them ? just click the "x" And they will gone .
Second step. This is only for you downoaded from other websites , In that case , you just skip first step come to here in order to save you some golden time .
You can delete them from the launchpad , I have tried many times . i tried to drug them in the the trash . But after them all jump back to where they are , So you need to open the Finder ---> click the download -----> find the file which is belong to the app (make sure ) ------->click it -----> drug it into the trash. then you can hear a little sound like you through it into the bin. it is really humanny isn't it ? then go back to the finder again .---->click the application -------> find the icon on there which is you just drag into the trash. do it again . take this one into the trash as well then you will find the icon on the launchpad is disppeared . at the end don't forget to empty your trash After that all job done , it is been deleted ,

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

How do I downgrade from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 for my wife , me and my office

how do I downgrade from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 for my wife , me and my office

You cannot downgrade a machine that shipped with 10.7 installed. Such a machine can only run 10.7 or later. As for the older machines, you would need to use the old Mac OS X install disks to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system.
I don't really understand the issue regarding minimizing windows. If the difficulty is that you want to use the green "+" button in the iTunes window's title bar to resize the window rather than toggling between the full window and the simplified window with only play controls, that is not unique to Lion. That has behaved the same way for some time. Try option-clicking on the "+" button.

How do I upgrade from Mac OS X version 10.6.8 to version 10.7.4?

How do I upgrade from Mac OS X version 10.6.8 to version 10.7.4?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest Macs of each type that can run Mountain Lion:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
If your system's compatible, buy it from the Mac App Store. A computer incapable of running Mountain Lion which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available by phoning the online Apple Store and ordering a download code for it.
