Itunes Cross Platform Troubles

OK heres my problem
I used to access itunes on my PC computer logging in with a HOTMAIL account, now that I have an Apple computer my Apple does not recognize my login with my hotmail, The apple only accepts an apple id or an aol, (as per usual)
I DID create an apple account but all my purchases and the like are stuck in my account with hotmail login
How can I transfer my account from the PC I used to log into to my Apple computer so I can log into the same account regardless of which platform I am on,
The same problem appears whenever I try to authorize and or login in to itunes store...surely there must be a way to authorize login to my itunes from my apple cpomputer that i used to use on my PC, ......

Did you ever add the songs to the library on the Windows machine? If not, use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to the external.
Before you do that, make sure the Preferences "Keep..." and "Copy..." are turned off. This assures that the Windows library will point to the files on the external, rather than create new copies.

The baOpenFile command has a built in method of telling you
what the
problem is. It will return an error code when it runs. As a
test,
adjust your code like this, then try it on the Mac:
on mouseUp me
tDelimiter = the last char of the moviePath
tFile = _movie.path & "MEDIA" & tDelimiter &
"Recovery.pdf"
OK = baOpenFile(tFile, "normal")
alert string(OK)
end
That alert will be a number. Check out the help file for
BuddyAPI, on
the baOpenFile page and it will tell you what all the numbers
mean.
My guess is that it will be "file not found" or something
similar, and
if that is the case, make sure that the media folder is
visible to the
Mac operating system. Making x-plat CDs is a tricky procedure
and often
a folder will only appear on one partition and not the other.
If that
is the case, then re-master the CD and make sure that the
appropriate
folders are available to both partitions.

What is the "Cross Platform Java" option in JMF Download?

If you go to the JMF download site:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html
and click "DOWNLOAD", there are 4 options:
(1) Windows
(2) Linux
(3) Solaris
(4) Platform - "Cross-platform Java"
What is that 4th option for?

The new all Java MP3 encoder is a sweet treat though.
I was calling a small .exe that links to the iTunes encoder from my Java programs. Hey, at least I can still use it for free AAC encoding!
I tried to find the "official" link to it but couldnt.
but you can get it here:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=35242
its called "iTunesEncode46" and it uses the iTunes encoders to encode wav files.

Cross platform play lists

I make my iTunes play lists on my PC. Is there a way to import, and/or convert, the play list file to my Mac so that I can have the same play lists without having to duplicate them manually. It’s a huge job. You would think that Apple would benefit from making an automatic conversion program for cross platform use.

Ok, I did what you said then I went to the Mac and it’s a little different. There wasn’t a Library choice, but there was an Import, so I imported the playlist file. The playlist showed up in iTunes on the Mac, but there were no songs in it, just a playlist folder. I made sure to create a playlist on the PC that I verified the songs were in the Mac library. Are you leaving something out? Is there a special new version of iTunes that has to be installed for this method to work?

Cross platform power point videos - need help!

I'm trying to create a MS powerpoint that will work on either windoze or Mac (my primary creation platform is MS office 2011 on the mac, but I also have MSO 2010 on an XP machine).
I've somewhat mastered the issues with audio files, but am stymied with videos. I have youtube donwnloaders for both the mac and windows, but cannot get a format with either that is supposed to work cross platform [I can't depend on any iTunes or other non standard apps on the windoze machines].
According to a post on a MS help site, the video formats that are supposed to work crossplatform are: MOV M4V AVI WMV. Unfortunately, neither of the youtube downloaders I have can create any of these formats that work. The downloader on windoze can create an AVI, but PPT won't display it when I embed it in the slide.

Cross platform CS on PC to CS3 on Mac does not work like video says

Your video on cross platform workflow states that you can import older Premier CS files on a PC into CS3 on a Mac. I tried this and get the message, "this project was saved in a aversion prior to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and cannot be opened on a Mac. Please refer to the User Guide for import options." I guess I have to assume then that the video, www.adobe.com/go/vid0236, is wrong about this? Can someone please explain how I can salvage the work I did 3 years ago on Premiere Pro 1 on a PC when I am now exclusively working on the Mac in CS3?
Thank you.

Ty,
This has come up a few times and the solution is to find a PC CS3 user, who will Open the Project and then Save it in CS3-CS4 for you. I does mean that you'll have to befriend a PC-person, but who knows, maybe you can reciprocate later on. In each previous instance, this workflow, PC to PC to Mac worked perfectly. Note: the same holds for Encore Projects, and there is some PC to PC incompatibilities between very early versions and later versions. I had to Open and Save an Enocre 1.0 Project in CS2, so a CS4 (only) user could then Open in CS4. This stuff happens, and the skip in Mac porting can play a role in it. If I had CS3 on my PC's, I'd do it for you, but CS2 will not hlep you.
I believe that P 6.5 was the last previous version ported for the Mac, until CS3.
Good luck,
Hunt

External Hard Drive won't appear on PC (want cross platform)

I have an external USB Hard Drive. I formatted it using the Disk Utility, OS Format and Journaling. Did a small partition in case I needed a system boot drive. Now my sis needed to backup her laptop (Dell laptop), but the drive won't appear in My Computer, it recognizes there is a USB device on the lower task bar, but no drive anywhere.
Do I have to reformat? what steps do I need to make this USB drive cross-platform friendly?
Paul

Hi, Paul.
You may not want to reformat the drive as FAT-32 since there is a limit on the size of the partition, the maximum file size, and other issues, especially if her Dell's drive is formatted as NTFS (FAT-32 does not support NTFS extended attributes). FAT-32 is unsuitable for backing-up Mac OS X volumes as it cannot preserve the extended attributes (permissions, etc.) employed by Mac OS X.
It's really best if you each have your own external hard drive for backup, as part of implementing a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution, such as I use and detail in my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. You also don't want one person inadvertently writing over another person's backups, which could happen if one is not careful. Furthermore, it is often easiest for recovery.
How one handles backup in cross-platform environments is tricky and depends on the native formats employed by the different computers involved, and whether backup will be performed over a network or by directly connecting backup drives to the computers one is backing up.
To enable her Dell to use the Mac-formatted drive, install Mediafour's MacDrive for Windows on the PC. MacDrive for Windows is probably the state-of-the-art application for enabling you to use Mac-formatted disks and hard drives on Windows-based PCs.
Good luck!

Which product to purchase (cross platform necessary from Mac to PC) Adobe Photoshop 6.0.x to ???

I have ancient Mac photoshop and pagemaker files. i need best cross platform product for windows that can access these files. adobe photoshop is my primary concern. I understand the indesign cs2 will import old school mac photoshop 6.0.x but is not compatible with windows 7 ... thank you.
In particular we use windows 7 x64
So in summary, need to determine which Windows 7 x64 version of Indesign CSxx will still open archaic Mac Adobe files (layouts, EPS, etc). Or is there a similar product that must be obtained. I prefer to stick to Adobe products, however, if I must go elsewhere and you can help -- please advise.
Also, if you know what I should obtain, does this product have a trial download option that I can test functionality before purchase? Warranty when I do buy information -- and return policy in general?
Many thanks.

PM support has long been pulled from InDesign. You are going to need some old version like CS or CS2 and save an intermediate step to ID files. PS is not a probelm at all. All programs have 30day trials and Adobe has a general 14day return policy. Refer to the product pages on teh website.

PDF with special characters (é, ñ) needs to be legible cross-platform(mac & pc)

I am using Illustrator to design a PDF. Because it's in Spanish, accent marks and other special characters are needed (á, ñ).
When I export the PDF from the ai file and view it on my mac it looks fine. However, when I open it on a pc some of the special characters are completely missing.
I tried Creating Outlines with the text, although it will make it harder to update in the future and so less preferable to leaving the text editable. Creating Outlines works fine on the mac, however on the pc the L's appear thicker than they actually are.
Does anyone know how to make special characters legible cross-platform when creating a PDF using Illustrator?
Thanks!!

Does anyone know how to make special characters legible cross-platform when creating a PDF using Illustrator?
Yes. You use a correct OpenType font that has the glyphs in the place where they belong and can be embedded without limitations. Older TrueType or PostScript fonts are simply unsuitable as are fonts that cannot be emebdded and require to be installed locally. It all comes down to system language settings vs. the unified environment inside acrobat. This also requires any PDF to be created on systems with the language settings correct in the first place, i.e. creating Spanish text with a Japanese version of AI would be pretty desastrous due to how foreign language fonts are accessed... check these things and then try again. If possible, enforce embedding of the full font in the PDF settings, not just a subset and choose a suitable font.

Email images and signatures not displaying cross platform??

I have noticed something odd when emailing people who are using windows. For some reason, attachments and signatures that are images (.jpg files that WILL open in a browser on the PC) or PDF's do not show up in the body of the email I send to them. Yet they are using HTML email, and emails they send to ME do have images showing up correctly in both the body of the email and the signatures on my Mac. Is there something on my end that I need to do in the formating to make this cross platform? Has anyone else run into this?
I'm confused, I thought HTML was HTML....

Same here... in Outlook 2007 many times the Mac email signature ends up as an HTM attachment... Any news on this odd behavior!

How to make cross platform screensavers

I work on an Imac on os X. I need to make screensavers for
cross platform (win/mac) distribution. I have flash 8 pro. Is there
any viable solution cheaper than the $200 for "Iscreensaver" or
$300 for "screentime" softwares? Failing that, does anyone have a
preference between the two? do you know if they allow flash
interactivity or just animation?
thanks in advance

Unfortunately there is no choices for you when comes to MAC.
Windows has over
30 really good screensaver tools, some of which very capable
and totally free.
Myself do not use Mac but friends who do, use the
"screentime" as preferred tool.
Check the features, see what you need and which tools deliver
what you looking
for than pick the winner :)
