Hello CS Community: I am about to renew my CS cloud subscription for one year. My current subscription is for one user for both Mac (and) PC. When I renew, how do I know I'm getting a subscription for both my MAC and my PC? It's not clear what is included in the purchase. I'm choosing the 49.00 a month package. Any insight would be much appreciated.

I have partitioned my time capsule, but I can't get it to work as a Time Machine back up and permanent media server for both mac and PC. What format do I need to partition the drive to so that it works for both mac and windows and so that it will be visab

I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
Thanks

You are mixing up a couple of things here.
The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC.

Mac Mini freezes at startup for both mac and windows. Any Ideas?

Mac Mini freezes at startup for both mac and windows. Any Ideas?

Thanks for getting back so quickly. But, it worked. I did what you said and now it works doing a normal boot to in both Windows and Mac. I wonder what went wrong, as both operating systems didn't boot (I tried numerous times).
Anyway, thanks.

Upgrade for both mac and windows

I use PSE 9 (Photoshop Elements) on my Windows box and PE 11 (Premiere Elements) on my Mac, (both registered). The upgrade on the Adobe site offers download for a single platform. After I download for one platform, can I come back somewhere and download for the other?

Buy it in a box and you get discs for both platforms and a serial number that works on both. If you're in the US you can be sure that the full version will be cheaper than the adobe upgrade version soon, especially around Black Friday, if you watch online retailers and big box stores.

Can I install CS6 for both Mac and PC with same license?

I have made my first installation to Mac and it's visible in my purchases. I tried to download CS6 to my PC but it didn't accept the same product serial number.
How can I install CS6 to PC also?

You can't. Standalone serial numbers are platform specific. Only Creative Cloud is cross-platform.

Use 1 Library for both Mac and PC OS's?

I have a pretty basic question about itunes. I am running a Mac Pro and bootcamp with Windows Vista on the other side. I have 3 seperate Hdds. One for Mac...One for PC...And one for audio files and pictures and other stuff.
I did have my itunes music library on my Mac Hdd for when Im running OSX. Well i still do. But what I want to do is move my itunes library to the 3rd Hdd (non-bootable) and hopefully use it for both the Mac OSX and the PC Vista side. So instead of having the same library copied to 2 seperate Hdds for the 2 seperate OS's Ill have 1 itunes library and be able to access it from both Os's. I have Mac drive 7 installed so I know I can access the 3rd HFS+ comp drive from the PC OS.
So how do I go about doing this right so I dont screw anything up?

The easiest way to do this, I think, involves copying the Music folder from OS X to the new hard drive. Then delete the old Music folder from the OS X drive. Create an alias to the new Music folder, copy it to your home folder, and rename it to the same name as the folder you copied. (i.e. copy /Users/john/Music/iTunes to AUDIO/Music/iTunes, then create an alias to iTunes and copy it to /Users/john/Music. Rename the alias to iTunes.)
Dealing with Windows is more difficult, as only Explorer follows shortcuts (NTFS doesn't support 'true' symlinks). I think you can set iTunes to read the AUDIO/Music/iTunes folder as its library folder in Edit > Preferences.
Good luck.

I need a central hard drive for both MAC and PC to read and write files interactively. Would the time capsule work?

I've just purchased a new mac and realised that I can not write directly to my external harddrive that I use with my PC.
I need a drive that both my Mac and PC can work with. Could someone tell me what the best solution for this is??
Many thanks in advance.

Install a tool such as the NTFS-3G drivers on the Mac.

Printing from Airport Extreme for both Mac and PC

I have both a mac and a PC. Both are connected to the internet using the Airport Extreme. Here's my problem. Currently I can only print from the Mac but not the PC. I was told that I would be using the airport extreme I would be able to use one printer for both computers. The printer I am using is an HP Office Jet 6310, which is compatible with both a Mac and a PC. Can anyone help me?

I recently purchased a Canon Pixma MP610 and it is connected to an AE. My Macbook prints fine to it. My PC laptop doesn't. I used to have a Canon Pixma 1600 that printed fine for both computers (I used iFelix's 1004.html steps to install for the PC)
I have tried the Add Printer on the PC using the same 1004.html steps with no luck. I have also used the 1008.html steps to install using the Bonjour Wizard with no luck.
When I say no luck, I mean it sees the printer, it has the proper drivers, but when I print a test page, it can't connect.
I Add a Printer and test and it fails, I then delete the printer and install it a different way. The weird thing is hours later, the test page will be there sitting on my printer. But I don't know why it took so long or which printer install method worked.
I have now installed 4-5 different printers and hit Test Page on all of them. I named each printer something different so in case the Test page comes out, I'll know which printer works.
I'm almost there I feel, but just can't get it.
Any suggestions iFelix or anyone else?

Airport Extreme with NTFS external HD solutions for both Mac and Windows

I recently bought an apple extreme when friends who have them say you can shared both printers and external harddrives really easily. However, it seems I am unable to share my many NTFS harddrives. I see after searching forums that it does not support NTFS but does FAT32.
One day I will convert all my home laptops to mac's but at the moment I am using XP and Vista for the time being so converting them to the apple format is not an option.
The problem i have is that if I convert them to FAT32 then I will only be be to have ISO's that are less than 2gig in size, an only be able to format up to 30 gig. If I have a 500 gig disk I'll be left with 470 gig of wasted space that cannot be used.
Can anyone suggest a good solution for me? perhaps someone has worked out how to format FAT32 greater than 30gb. or perhaps there is another disk format that would be better to use and can be read/write from XP/Vista PC as well as being recognised by Airport extreme. Any help would be good as I am reluctant to get a refund on it, but will have to if I can get it to work with large files/partitions.

I think I answered my own question. I found this on the web:
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
Seems to suggest that using this third party exe to format it instead of windows inbuilt one will allow for partitions greater than 32GB. So this looks the way to go. And the 2GB limit per file is just for FAT16 not FAT32 apparently, but even if it is I only have a few iso/video files bigger than 2 gig so will just use a splitter on them.
Hope this is useful to someone else

How can I format for both Mac and PC and keep software updated?

I have a dilemma. I need to be able to have the iPod formatted for use with both a Macintosh and PC so I can use it as a hard disk on both Operating Systems. The dilemma? I will be "Administering" the iPod and iTunes Music Library at home on a Macintosh.
How do I update the iPod software as new updates become available on an iPod formatted for PC? The thing to know is that I don't have the option to update it on a PC as the only PCs I have access to are at work and I'm not allowed to install iTunes.
Any ideas?

You cannot format the iPod for a PC outside of iTunes on a PC while retaining the capability to use the iPod as a music player. If you can't install any software on the work PCs, your best solution may be to use an USB flash drive for transferring files and leave the iPod in the Mac format.

Time Machine for both Mac and Windows side of BootCamp

Can I use my external hard drive to backup both the Mac side and the windows side of BootCamp? I am using Time Machine for the Mac side, and I know that WinXP doesn't have Time Machine software. Can I use the hard drive when I'm on the Windows side as I would on any Windows machine, and move files under "My Computer"?

Can I use my external hard drive to backup both the Mac side and the windows side of BootCamp?
ONLY if you partition the external and use Winclone for windows-but leave as much space as possible for TM.

Yes.
Without special software, the windows partition can't even see your OS X partition.
Good luck!

How do I format a portable Hard drive for both mac and pc?

I have searched and came up with this answer which doesnt make too much sense to me
( Either format it to MS-DOS from the DIsk Utility, or install a tool such as MacDrive into Windows and keep the drive in its current format, or install the NTFS-3G driver into Mac OS X and format the drive to NTFS in Windows.)
I have a La Cie rugged poerable HD I want to copy media files from both my work Pc and my home mac to it, and then plug it into my TVIX machine ( windows based media player) to access the files. In simple terms, how do i do this?
TIA Wayno

Yes, FAT is limited to 4GB. You can use exFat which does not have such limitations and works both on windows and mac. You may also stay with ntfs but with additional software such as ntfs for mac osx. 9.0 by paragon software. Using paragon software will give both access to read on write files on your hard drive on while used on your mac.

Portable hard drive recommendations for delivering raw footage for both Mac and PC?

Hello all. I recently purchased a hard drive ("my passport") that I thought would work for delivering raw footage, but turns out my client can't use it on their PC. I did read something in the manual about using with both - but you had to format the drive as FAT32 which comes with a file limitation of 4GB and so will not work for raw footage. Are there any reasonably priced drives that will work for transferring large files between operating systems without reformatting?
Thanks!
Karen

You essentially have two options:
Option 1 - format the drive as NTFS then install this free utility on your Mac so it will read/write to NTFS formatted disk: http://download.cnet.com/NTFS-3G/3000-2094_4-10913782.html?tag=vtredir
Option 2: Purchase and install "MacDrive" on the Windows system and format the drive as Mac OS Extended" (aka HFS+). MacDrive will allow the Windows system to read/write to disks formatted for Macs.

Can i use time capsule as external hard drive for both mac and windows

I have a mac book pro, ipad and iphone and ipod and a windows pc
Can i use time capsule as a external hard disk only for all of the above ( including windows ) without the back up activity for mac ?

You cannot access the TC from iOS devices without a browser. eg filebrowser.

Yes, with the following proviso.. the TC is not able to back itself up.. so if you store files on the TC without backups one day you will discover all your files are gone because of a hard drive failure of the TC. TM also cannot backup TC.. so you will need to buy a proper backup software.
It is also much slower than a real NAS..
And windows can be a bit painful.. especially windows 8.. other versions should work if you spend the time getting everything set right.
