IPop Use with different operating systems Windows And Mac Osx

so the quetion is this can i use my IPod with different Operatin systems?
I have a MacBook at home where i keep all my Music in and at the office i have a Windows network i would like to carry some music from home to the office using my IPod. I thought that a solution is to Partition my Ipod 40G in 2 parts and have one of them FAT so that my Windows operating system can view it.
Did any of you done it? and if so How? did you loose the use of some of the IPod functions?
let me Know if there are ways to carry music using your Ipod from the MacOSX to Windows Prof or home edition thanks!

Your problem has nothing to do with data vs music. Music IS data. I've used my iPod for data and music since the first iPod was released. There's no reason to think the two OS versions are involved either.
Look at your usage practices - and I'm not necessarily suggesting you are abusing your computer. Has one of your computers crashed while the iPod was connected? This could cause data damage that might explain the problem. Have you ever disconnected the iPod without un-mounting it first?
You might also be creating fragmentation problems if you frequently add and remove data files while at the same time adding and removing music. One decision I made when I was using my iPod to transport lots of movies and photos for a project was to NOT make any music changes during that busy two week period.

HELP!! Authorization in the same laptop with different operation systems

My BF installed Win 7 operation system on his laptop yesterday and re-authorized it when he used iTunes. However, when he finished authorization, a dialog block showing that "*Including this one, you have authorised two computers out of your available 5*" appeared; what's worse, when he connected his iPhone to the laptop, it deleted all the bought apps in the iPhone, instead of synchronizating.
I also want to install Win 7 operation system, but I'm afraid that the same thing would happen again (to my iTouch).
We're quite confused that why the authorization in the same laptop with different operation systems is counted as two times. Friends who know please tell us whether this is the case.. If not, please tell us how to deal with it as we frequently re-install operation system for quicker operation.

It's the *operating system* that is authorised, not the particular user profile or the hardware. Before upgrading/reinstalling deauthorise and you won't run out...

Using two seperate operating systems on a Mac, and a smart-phone to better integrated the flows!

I am considering to get a new Mac.
In that I want to be able to use two seperate operating systems. The Mac operating system and maybe either a windows or linux or an other useful and functional alternative!
The reason for this is, that I have several laptops incl. an iPad. I have concluded that iPad isnt that useful for my needs till now, its not very functional for my needs. I am also going to upgrade my smart mobile still considering functional alternatives (would like to hear yoru thoughts about this as well)!
I want to integrate them into one machine only and utilize cloud and / or an external Disk, and be better able to use useful apps and software that are not available on either one of the systems on their own my own system!
Usage will be both for biz and private, but at the end usefulness, and functionality will play a big part in my final decision!
Do you think this is practical, useful and cost effective way doing it the way I want to do?

My reason for wanting to have windows on my Mac is to be able to utilize, some applications that are not available for Mac OS!
In the past I raised few points relating to that, and wasnt able locate details to consider to have only a Mac system. Thats why I had to have few laptops to handle all! I got myself an iPad(1) but again it didnt met the exact needs that I have!
Thats why I am going to integrate all in one new system(Mac), and exchange and process while on the road via smartphone or something that is between a smartphone and tablet!
As to smartphones; I hear positive notes on iPhone, but seems to have some issues with its antena, the new Moterola seems great to exchange files anywhere, and the new Samsung Galaxy, very advanced. However what I lack at this stage is user experiences to see if any of them can meet my needs, and what the best combination could be for efficiency, speed and value for money(laptop, operating sytem, smartphone).
I am tired of crashes, frozen screens, or not able to open files or pics because they are not compatible in some ways! I try to maintain, clean and update my systems, but some stuff does comes in between despite all!
Anyhow, thank you for your support, I will try to do some reading on the keywords you used, I might get back to you for some more leads!
Thank you once again!:)

My websites look different on a Windows and Mac computers...

There are 3rd party apps you can get that can help a bit, but I think the main answer is that if you are using templates and graphic rich features of iWeb, the code it generates is pretty complex, a side effect of making it easy to use. All that code gives wiggle room to different browsers and generations of browsers to reproduce it differently.
My approach is just to keep things as simple as possible, and start with blank pages rather than templates. Because I keep my pages streamlined, they're universally compatible.

How do you sync itunes between a MacBook and ipad mini with different operating systems ?

I own a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 operating system, and have recently bought an ipad mini but I cant sync itunes because it operates on the 10.6.8 system, is ther an upgrade for the Macbook, or is there another way of syncing the two ?

You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to sync with your iPad.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:

Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.

My HP Photosmart 385 printer won't work with my operating system - Windows Vista Ultimate. Why not?

Is there a driver that I can dowload so my HP Photosmart 385 printer will work with my Windows Vista Ultimate operating system?

Hey Alyssa426,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
Since the installation disk does not support Windows 8.1, I would suggest trying to download, and install the drivers directly from the HP Support website. I have included a link to the 'HP Deskjet F4200/F4224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver'. Once the software is downloaded, open the software, and follow through the on screen instructions for installation.
Please let me know the outcome of installing the software.
Thank you.

Format version to use in different operation systems

What Format version do I need to use in OS X and Windows 8.1 ? . Meaning :
I want to save to a USB device PDF files and be able to see them both in OS X and Windows 8.1
Thanks

exFAT would also be a supported format between the 2 operating system.
NOTE: FAT32 or exFAT is ONLY good for an external disk or USB Flash Drive that you are going to connect to one system, then disconnect and connect to the other.
If you do not have a lot of data to transfer save at once (and it is not super sensitive), you might just consider getting a DropBox.com account and use the network to transfer your files.
If the Mac and the Windows systems are on the same network, then you can also use file sharing from either system.

Using with different operator

i am pedro from bolivia. My fried send me blackberry tour 9630 and this is blocked with network blocked of verizon it's possible unlocked this?.
For use with sim of my country?

I am using TS 2010. FYI
ex:
Array XX [ A_Temp,
               B_Temp,
               C_Oil Pressure,
               D_Oilpressure,
Note : A_Temp, B_Temp,C_Oil Pressure,D_Oilpressure all these parameters will be getting numerical values (dynamically) from the simulink models and also in future I may need to add parameters to this array.
Array YY [A_Temp_1,
               B_Temp_2,
               C_Oil Pressure_3,
               D_Oilpressure_4,
Note : A_Temp_1, B_Temp_2,C_Oil Pressure_3,D_Oilpressure_4 all these parameters will be getting numerical values (dynamically) from the simulink models
So my question :
I would like to verify A_Temp >= A_Temp_1
                            B_Temp >= B_Temp_2
                            C_Oil Pressure >= C_Oil Pressure_3 etc

How to use an external drive for windows and mac

I recently got an external hard drive (2 TB seagate expansion) and I need to be able to use it with both my mac and my windows computer. I have read numerous forums and tried downloading various third party programs but nothing seems to work! One of the things i have read was to create a partition on the drive, this is easy enough and i did try it so i do have one side i can add stuff from from windows and one side i can add stuff to from my mac but then i cant access the other side. So say i need to get a file from my mac to my windows. I add a file to the mac side of the partition from my mac but then when i plug it into windows i cant retrieve that because its on the mac side of the partition (and vis versa). Is there some sort of easy way around this? or some way in which i can format the drive where i can move files back and forth from windows to mac without any expensive third party programs?
Thanks!
Bryan
PS. I did notice when i originally got the hard drive i had a bunch of files on it that were added from windows. When i plugged it into my mac i could see and copy these files but i could not add new files. Is there anyway to get around this "read only" type formate if i were to reset my drive back to its factory settings?

Three ways to go;
Repartiton the drive (1 partition) as MBR and with FAT32 file system. This is readable and writable by both Mac and Windows, but has a file size limit (which I think is 4GB).
The alternative is to leave the drive formatted as NTFS for Windows (this is not normally writeable from Mac) and employ a third-party software application which can write to NTFS. NTFS-3G, Paragons NTFS for Mac and Tuxera NTFS have all been recommended elsewhere.
Or you can repartition as GUID with HFS+ (Mac OS Extended Journalled) file system. This would not normally be accesible to the Windows machine, but once again there is 3rd-party softwsre available to enable Windows to read and write to it. MacDrive is the only one I'm aware of, but there are probably others.

Can I use Photoshop on both my windows and Mac PC's

I purchased Photoshop CS5 in May for my Windows PC. I also want to install it on my Mac, However the download they provided me with doesn't have a Mac version. Can I get Adobe to provide me with a cost free Mac version?
I bought Lightroom 3 and was able to get both versions and have it running on both PCs...want to do this with CS5...

A user would need 2 licenses of Photoshop to run on their Mac and their PC, even if they had a mac and wanted to run windows on that hardware set, they'd still need separate licenses for the PC side and the Mac side.
You are confusing hardware and operating systems.
If you are running the Windows OS on Mac hardware, you are running Windows.

Yes. That will work fine.

Both Windows and Mac OSX won't read/keep ejecting disks

I erased my harddrive and reinstalled Snow Leopard this way I could get Bootcamp up and running. After I reformatted the computer, I have been having serious issues with it reading any Windows CDs. The first issue was with the installation CD. My computer would take it in and spit it back out, it did this over and over. It was a Windows XP full installation CD. The same CD I have used when installing Bootcamp in the past. I also tried a Windows 7 full install CD and had the same issue. After many attempts, it finally read the XP CD and I had XP running. I installed the drivers and went about using XP. For the most part things felt alright, but I was still having issues with CDs. I would put most CDs in and it would just eject them, or sometimes eat them, and not eject them at all. Other times it told me some software CDs were blank, when I knew they weren't. The CDs worked in every other computer, but not in my machine. I figured I would get around it by using disk images all the time, but this has proven complicated and annoying.
Today I finally got the Vista upgrade CD to work. When in Vista I was still having CD problems, but then things got worse. Daemon Tools wouldn't work anymore and neither would Alcohol 120%. It seems like things just stopped working all of a sudden. The Windows 7 CD wouldn't read eother so I was stuck with a pretty useless partition and operating system.
I just erased my drive again and reinstalled OS X 10.6. I am still having the problem with CDs. It keeps spitting out the Windows CDs/Programs designed for Windows CDs or is telling me they are blank media. I am at a brick wall here. I really would like to get Windows up and running so I can run my important software. Does anyone know what could be the problem? I appreciate the help.

So, if he has a OS 9 bootable G4, do you think the external USB floppy would work under OS 9?
Also, if he upgrades the 7200 to OS 9, do you think he could install that drive into the G4 and boot from it? I think there were some options in earlier OS <9 that let you do a custom install for all computers, not just the target one, which is handy for an external drive that you might use to boot more than one comptuer from, but I guess that depends on the installation disk?
Networking is a good way to migrate the files over, but if you plan on retiring the 7200, why not take the hard drive out and put it in the G4, at least temporarily to copy stuff over.
