How do I use a Mac keyboard for Windows functions?
I just changed from an HP to a MacBook Pro and I'm running Windows XP on part of the hard drive. The problem is that I'm missing my key buttons, like <fn><prt sc> to print the screen or <insert> and <delete>. I can't figure out how to compensate for the lack of the buttons on the keyboard.
Any solutions? Does anyone know where there is a good reference for this sort of thing?
I don't know of a chart, there should be one out there.
There is a utility, "InputRemapper"
check http://www.versiontracker.com or Google
what it does is let you map keys on MacBook etc. I use it because it also boosts the fan speed, otherwise my system can get too warm so it needs something, and there is no mechanism in Windows and with Apple's BootCamp services it seems, to use the thermal sensor data to adjust the fans. There are 3rd party like InputRemapper that might - but would like to see it "bundled."
Did you check the search field above next to Support for "BootCamp"

I need to publish a magazine in arabic and english - what should I buy - for how much to use 15 mac books for my students to use indesign?
You can only return the machine if you're within 14 days of purchase - otherwise you're just 'stuck' with what you purchased (unless you sell it, of course).
I always recommend that Retina owners order 16GB of RAM as the RAM is not upgradable - it's soldered onto the logic board.
Your call - if you're with 14 days of purchase, take it back and exchange for a 16GB model. Or sell it and buy a model with 16GB. The higher amount of memory will allow you to run far more memory-hungry apps concurrently.
Good luck,

Can i use my mac licence for windows
I have a cs5.5 licence for my Mac but I have a windows laptop and would like to know if I download Cs5.5 from the Adobe website am I able to use the serial number for my license to work?
Hi Mylenium,
Thank you for you quick answer.
What would be the best solution for me then and what would the costs be.
I have CS5.5 design premium for Mac. I am now using a Windows laptop, I want to convert my serial number so I can download from the Adobe store and use my serial number so my CS5.5 can work on my Windows laptop.
What are the steps I need to take and what are the costs? Do I also need to upgrade to CS6? IS it a free upgrade or at a cost and if at a cost do I need to upgrade, are the changes really that different that I need to pay again?
What would be the quickest and simplest solution for me please? -
How can I use Photoshop CS6 Extended for windows on an iMac?
I had an HP computer but it broke. I have an iMac now and my questions is if there is a way I can change my product to be able to use it in my new computer. maybe I need to pay a difference or something like that... Help!!!
You need to call Adobe and have them transfer your license to a Mac version. With the current subscription plan, you can use it on either Win or Mac.

How can I use the value returned for a function into the macro ??
I create a function to work in a macro and I would like to use the value of parameter f_calc_error returned by function in a condition like IF, but I don't know how can I do that. I have to use the macro function CALC_ERROR ??
Thanks.
Edson SuzukiHi Edson,
Yes you need to use the CALC_ERROR macro function to be able to test whether the last macro function returned an error. CALC_ERROR will return an 'X' if there an error occured during the execution of the last macro function.
You can use a macro similar to the following:
IF
CALC_ERROR( )
= 'X'
DO SOMETHING HERE
ENDIF
Let me explain how this works internally. The SAP system maintains a global variable g_flg_calc_error during the execution of macros in the planning book. The g_flg_calc_error variable will contain the value of f_calc_error that was set by the last macro function which executed. The ABAP coding of a planning book is something like this:
data: g_flg_calc_error type /SAPAPO/FLAG.
* SAP will pass g_flg_calc_error variable to all macro
* functions. When SAP calls a macro function, it does
* something like this.
call function '/SAPAPO/MACRO_FUNCTION_HERE'
exporting
plob_values = i_s_adv_plob_values
sdp_book = g_c_advf_sdp_book
sdp_view = g_c_advf_sdp_view
tables
cols_index = i_t_cols
value_tab = l_t_value_tab
changing
f_calc_error = g_flg_calc_error
As you can see, the g_flg_calc_error variable
is passed in the "changing" part of the call. The macro function being called can then use the f_calc_error
variable to change the value of the global
g_flg_calc_error variable. In fact, the macro function being called can also check (by looking at the f_calc_error variable) if the last macro function reported an error. The CALC_ERROR macro function just checks the value of f_calc_error parameter (w/c in fact is the value of the g_flg_calc_error variable) and returns "true/X" if the f_calc_error was set to true by the last macro function.
Hope this helps in clearing things out -
Using mac keyboard on Windows, how to get all CS shortcuts working like on OSX?
Hi!
Firstly, thanks all for any tips/help, it's very much appreciated!
My girlfriend is using a mac at work to design with CS 5. At home she has a windows 7 laptop though.
It seems one of the biggest issues is that the shortcuts aren't working the same, which reduces her productivity so much that it does not make any sense to work from home.
So we still have one of the fancy apple USB keyboards at home and I was wondering if it's possible to get CS working with an apple keyboard under windows so that she can use the same shortcuts which she uses at work with CS5 under OSX?
Thanks for your help in advance!
ThomasUsing a Mac keyboard for the PC won't help. It will probably map the command key to the Windows key. Bob's answer is right on the money. She has to retrain her muscle memory, when at home use control, when at work use command.

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.
How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.
I am planning to buy a high performance PC to run my Windows and Linux servers as vitrual machines for my testing purposes.
Initially i planned to build my own computer with recommended configurations but considering space constaints and cooling factors i think Mac Pro can be a choice. But need some inputs if Mac pro (Intel Xeon E5, 12 GB RAM) is good for running virtual Machines.You could even run Windows natively and still run your VM servers.
I have seen reports and such on MacRumors and elsewhere - run Windows natively as well as VMs (can also do testing and run Mavericks in a VM under Mavericks)
The fast internal PCIe-SSD, plus 6 or 8 cores, and 32-64GB RAM. Of course for $5,000 for 8-core, some Thunderbolt storage and 32GB/64GB RAM you can buy some serious hardware. -

How do I use a Mac Mini + Airport Express + Time Machine disk to backup another iMac
How do I use a Mac Mini + Airport Express + Time Machine disk to backup another iMac?
The question pretty much says it all.
I have a Mac Mini with an attached 3TB Hard Drive used for Time Machine Backups.
I have an Airport Extreme base station which services that machine plus several others.
I would like to backup my new iMac and a MacBook Pro to the Mac Mini.
What do I need to do on the mini to export that hard drive so that it can be used as a Time Machine target from the other systems?
All systems are running 10.6.8.Well you would have to do backups over a network which is much slower and has highest chance of becoming corrupt. I think your best option would be to get an apple time capsule to act as a network and back if thats how you wanna do that

Hello!
I am wondering how many users are there out there using a Mac Mini for DSP to allow for more processing power.
wondering what types of experiences people have had out there/how well the machines work together. and if you would or would not recommend doing so
i would assume that it would help out with all of the processing and makes things sound better in the end?I don't do it on a regular basis, but I tested out using an intel mini as a node on a G5, and it worked fine. Probably added about an additional 25% of what the quad could do (so if the quad did 100 of a plugin, the mini added 25 more).

Hi
I am thinking of using a Mac Pro for share trading.
I am proposing to start small but want to be able to expand up to 30+ monitors.
It must be super quick.
Any help with hardware would be appreciated.
Software is secondary at this point , but open to advice.
I have an iphone and ipad so feel it will better intergrate usung Apple
regards
DavidThere is no desktop machine that I know of that will support 30+ monitors as is.
Fill the 3 or 4 PCIe slots of any logic board with three port graphics cards and you have the physical cap without additional hardware.
Software is secondary at this point
No, without software, how can you control more than the monitor limit of the OS?
How can you set up the monitors to display the various programs that you will wish to use simultaneously?
Software is a major consideration.
Matrox (and others) have solutions for additional monitors beyond the physical capabilities of generally offered graphics cards.
The caveat here, however, is support software is typically reserved for Windows and Linux systems.
Matrox has a single 8 display card:
http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/graphics_cards/m_series/m9188pciex16/
Matrox has solutions specifically targeting the finance market:
http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/solutions/trading_analyst/
Though the Mac Pro has more than adequate processing power, I think that you will find (through research) that building a solid machine capable of using several multi monitor cards is going to be what you will need to support more than 8-10 monitors with conventionally offered hardware.
Fun stuff:

Using a Mac Keyboard on a PC?
Does anyone know if its possible to use a mac keyboard on a PC? If so, are there drivers that Windows will require in order for it to function properly, or will Windows treat it like any other keyboard?
Before you even ask why I would do this...I really like the new Apple keyboard and would like to buy one for work to use as my main keyboard there as well.
thanksHey, I run an Apple keyboard on a Windows machine all the time.. I assumed you are talking about a newer keyboard as I don't have much experience beyond 3 years ago keyboards.. It works fine.. Of course some of the Apple specific keys such as Command don't have a special meaning in the Windows environment but the keyboard has Alt and Control which are commonly used..
No drivers necessary.. Just works... -
How to enable shortcuts on "MAC" as in windows. (ie : Alt+I+I = for image size in PS )
