How Mac User Can Learn Windows XP????

I am and will continue to be a big Apple fan (see my history below) -- but since I can't sit around any longer waiting for a Mac netbook, I broke down and bought the new 10.1-inch Acer Aspire that comes with Windows XP Home Edition. Since I've never used anything but a Mac before,am hoping someone can suggest a resource that can, in very simple terms, help me learn how to do the basics in Windows Xp Home, like create documents, etc. Ideally, if there's a document called something like, "A Mac Users Guide to Window XP Home Edition," that'd be fabulous.
Thanks in advance.

lots and lots of ungodly amounts of patience and tolerance. (sorry, just my experiences)
And I'm not trying to be funny, but I'm thinking you aren't going to like the transition. I've been on macs for about 8 years solid but have a good windows knowledge. Now when I go back to a Windows PC (by necessity) it is nothing short of frustrating. You might discover, things don't work as the should or as logic would have them..... something to not take for granted using Macs.
I no longer have the patience to touch Windows. Sorry, but I'm just telling it like it is. Windows just feels like it's put together by high-schoolers (displaced from the 80's).

How do I save PSD files created in windows so MAC users can open and work

I have been designing photoshop files for sale to photographers online and all of my work has been created in a windows 7 system. I had a photographer contact me saying that the PSD was trouble to open and that the fonts would not work on his MAC computer.
Can someone supply me with information on creating/saving windows PSD files so that a MAC user can open them and also use the fonts I supply with the files.
The files I create are multilayered PSD's and contain fonts for windows PC use and I don't want to exclude MAC users from utilizing my work.
Any help appriciated.

Just save. There is no difference in files between platforms.
There are some Windows-centric font formats that aren't portable, by any OpenType or TrueType font will be portable between platforms.

Ex-Mac user now on Windows 7: How to acccess my iTunes library (now on my PC) with my Windows iTunes?

I'm an ex-Mac user now on Windows 7: How to acccess my former Mac iTunes library (now on my PC) with my Windows iTunes? I get error message: The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
Can anyone help me please?

So, what I have done so far to try to achieve this is:
I have my Windows PC with it's NTFS formatted external HDD containing the music etc.
I have my Mac with a new external HDD formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
On the Windows PC:
* I opened up iTunes.
* Went into Preferences, and then under the Advanced tab I checked both 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' and 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library', so that all the files would be in the main iTunes Media folder when I copy it over.
* Then File, Library, Organise Library and ticked the 'Consolidate Files' so that it moves any files that aren't in the right folder.
Next I copied the files over. So I copied the updated media folder from the NTFS (Windows) external HDD onto the Mac external HDD.
And I copied the files from in My Documents/Music/iTunes on the Windows PC to User/Music on the Mac.
But this doesn't seem to have done it.

I'am a first time mac user, can any explain to me how to transfer file i.e. iTunes ,pictures, other files.

Select a file you want to transfer and drag it to the desired destination.
If you need help with the basics of OS X you can:
Select Mac Help (or Help Center) from the Finder's Help menu and enter a search keyword. For your question you might search for "copy," "file copy," or "drag and drop" for example.
See Apple - Support - Mac 101
Visit the Apple website where you will find additional information and tutorials on how to use OS X.

Is it too much to ask that a Mac user can just OPEN and USE a PDF form created by LiveCycle Designer PC software?!?

My problem is just that- I have created all my forms using LiveCycle Designer because it is easier to make the forms accessible to individuals with disabilities. Apparently it doesn't make Mac users have access to the forms. I've received complaints from Mac users that cannot complete or submit the forms that I created. I'm not asking how to recreate using another software, I know how to do that. I'm asking is there a work around to allow a Mac user to open a PDF form or even XML (bedded within an HTML page) on a Mac computer WITHOUT having to use bootcamp, parallels, etc. and be able to complete the form and submit, print or email it????? I've exhausted all my knowledge on this thus far and I'm hoping to find something that will help. So far all forums talk about how Mac users need to have a PC side to their computer. Isn't there another way?
I've attached an example form that we are no longer using (though still created exactly the same as the others)
Thanks!

Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
-bind_at_load
Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
Load resources lazily.
You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.

And, higher OS versionsare even worse with Bonjour/mDNSResponder, but might see this...

How many users can you have on one account ?

Hi,
I have just created a ID with Adobe Reader for a group to use files stored in cloud. I would like to know how many users can access the account at one time via, mobile devices, ipad, desktops ?

I don't know if there is a limit; you do mean the free https://cloud.acrobat.com/ ?
I will move your post to the Acrobat.com forum, where someone hopefully can give you a definitive answer.

How far will the extreme reach and how many users can be on there at the same time?

How far will the airport extreme reach and how many users can be on there at the same time?

Last question first, since that is the easy one......approximately 50 (fifty) users for wireless depending on how active each user might be.
The first question is much more difficult, as distance is not really the issue with wireless.....obstructions are the issue.
A wireless signal can easily travel 300 feet or more with no obstructions in the signal path.
But, a typical wall of sheetrock or wallboard in a home will absorb....on average....15-20% of the wireless signal. Brick or adobe will obviously absorb much more. A ceiling....because it is thicker....will absorb about 25-35% of the signal.
So, if the wireless signal must pass through several walls and a ceiling, there won't be much, if any, of the signal left....even though the distance that the signal travels is not great...for example, 20-25 feet.
Other wireless networks around you at the neighbors can also affect the relative strength of the wireless signal.
The bottom line....locate the AirPort Extreme where wireless devices will receive a signal with the least amount of obstructions in the signal path. Your actual performance cannot be predicted in advance. You will not know how well the AirPort Extreme works for you until you try it out in your home.
If you find that the signal does not reach as far as needed, you will need to add additional "extenders", like an AirPort Express to provide more signal coverage.

How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation?

How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation? We're waiting for our server to arrive and in the interum we're using a Pegasus 2 R6 attached to an iMac running Mavericks as our fileserver. It's been sketchy, the connection to the server being dropped once in a while or the inability to mount the drive after a week of success. The Pegasus we're using now will be attached to a server once it arrives. For now I need to figure what's coausing trouble before I commit to this being our main storage as planned. The data is backed up every night so I'm not worried, its the usability issues. 5-7 people are mounting this drive and opening/saving at the same time. Is there a limit to Maverick's fileserving ability that may be causing this? Understandable if so.

The file server in the client version of OS X has a default limit of 10 simultaneous connections. That limit can be raised by installing OS X Server, or lowered by setting a hidden preference. Assuming you've done neither, you may be able to solve the problem temporarily by stopping and restarting file sharing in the Sharing preference pane, or permanently by setting another hidden preference on the server to break idle connections quickly.
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool YES
Stop and restart file sharing. To reverse the change, run this command in the same way:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool NO
Credit for this solution to ASC member suter:
this file server will not allow any additional users to log on

How many users can be logged on to the base station

how manty users can be logged onto the base station?

I am not sure if you mean this to be in the TC area but it will handle 50users I think was the spec.. but never ever do it. Around 10users per AP is about the max you ever want to try. That is assuming all are using the net at the same time. You can probably manage more as long as most are not actually in use.

How many users can be on creative cloud

How many users can be on creative cloud

Hi,
With each subscription you are allowed to download on two different machines, but you cannot use the apps at the same time. So, in short the answer is just 1 person per Creative Cloud subscription.
"Adobe has moved to identity-based licensing with a technology that will not support multiple same-product subscriptions, so you can only buy one membership per Adobe ID. If you need two subscriptions to Creative Cloud, you will need to purchase each subscription with a unique Adobe ID.
When you install your software, you will be required to enter the same Adobe ID that you used when purchasing your membership, for the following reasons:
- To help ensure that the person who subscribed is the same person who is installing the software
- To enable Adobe to send you important account information in the event your subscription is about to expire or cannot be charged to your credit card"
Information is from the Creative Cloud FAQ

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. Mac users can no longer read the page numbers but pc users can.

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. As of about 2 weeks ago the mac users can no longer read the page numbers they get a font error message and see only -- where the page information should be. The pc users do not have this same problem. When I replace our regular font (URW Grotesk) with a system font (Verdana) everyone is able to read the page numbers. This is a new issues, I have been creating these documents in the same way for years without a problem. I have been on hold and on and off calls for the last two hours, I keep getting hung up on once I find someone in adobe support to talk to!

Hi KnoopL,
Are the Mac users using Preview to view the pdfs or Adobe Reader?
