Lightroom between Windows and Apple products

I have a new windows 8 desktop that I have been using for Lightroom 4 work and now I want to get a laptop and am considering the Apple but wanted to know the following:
-Can I use the same Lightroom on both my desktop and laptop?
-If i get a Apple laptop will I be able to transfer work between the two that I do in Lightroom?
-I i go this route will i have any compatibility issues that will affect performance?
Your comments are appreciated!

Performance? Nope...but there are some issues relating to certain areas of compatibilities...for example; hard drives. On Mac you can mount and read/write FAT32 formated external drives but if the drives are formated as NTFS you'll only be able to read from them not write to them. That can be an issue is your catalog is on the drive. If you format the drives as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) your Windows machine won't see the drives unless you install a 3rd party driver (pretty easy & cheap).
But once you work out the compatibilities LR will run just fine on both Mac and Windows.

By subscribing to Creative Cloud(Photoshop and Lightroom), does it come with more than one license, and is it possible to install it on both Windows and Apple(if it comes with two licenses)? Thank you.

A Cloud subscription provides for installing working installations on two machines. You can have mixed operating systems (both Windows and Apple's OX).

Can i use same iPod classic with both windows and apple machines

can i download audible books, music and podcasts from windows and apple machines on the same ipod classic?
thank you joanlvh

Yes you can. You will have to authorize both machines for your iTunes account, and you will only be able to sync what is on the individual computers to your iPod, but switching between Mac and PC isn't an issue.

Cisco Linksys Routers and Apple Products?

I have to seriously ask if there is simply an incompatibility between Cisco Linksys and Apple products?
I have both the WRT600N and the new E3000. Both are exhibiting the same behavior with my Apple products.
On the wireless connection, I am unable to get a download rate from the Internet, higher then maybe 1.2 - 1.5Mbps. Most of the time it is far lower. I am always using the same site for testing. www.speedtest.net and I always use the same testing server for Dallas, TX.
My ISP is Clear, and when going to www.speedtest.net while using the wired connection on my MacBook Pro, I get a download speed of between 5.5 and 8.2 Mbps.
The upload speed is not changed whether I am using the wired or wireless connection. I also notice the severe difference in speed when I use the Wi-Fi on my iPhone. My 3G connection is faster then the Wi-Fi...
So, is there an advanced config for the wireless that makes it behave better with Apple devices?
I have locked the config so far to 802.11g on the 2.4Ghz transceiver and 802.11n on the 5Ghz receiver. I have also set it not to broadcast the BSSID for either as I live in an apartment complex and I do not want to advertise my network to everyone else. I use WPA personal on the 802.11g network and WPA2 Personal on the 802.11n network.
The settings on the advanced wireless screen in the router config for my E3000 are the defaults.
I have tried nearly everything I can think of. I am now beseeching the help of the community at large in the hopes of gleaning some information that I did not already have. Also I hate the new Cisco Connect app.
On a side note, I was very disappointed to learn that while the WRT600N supported IPv6, the E3000 does not. As a result it seems my wired connection on the MacBook Pro is not performing as well as it did on the WRT600N.
If anyone from Cisco see's this, PLEASE re-add support for IPv6 to your routers. It makes no sense to move backwards now.

Which band you are using to connect the wireless computer...?
Is your other computers are working fine...?
If you are using 5GHz on the router to connect your Mac computer then,make sure the wireless adapter does support 5GHz.
Try the following settings...
Keep the Network Mode as "Mixed".For 2.4GHz...Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz..For 5GHz...Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to159 and Standard Channel to 161-5.805GHz.Click on Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now,power cycle the router and check.

Share iTunes libraries between Windows and MAC

Hi all i've an wifi via "Base AirPort" i've an HD shared between MAC and Windows sistem via the BASE, the iTunes library that i've stored in the HD is non redable for iTunes on Windows because it need an *.itl file...
How can i share an iTunes library between Windows and MAC???

I would like to report back that after struggling for months to get Tune Ranger to work that it is complete rubbish. The first time I tried to sync my libraries (between an empty iTunes library and my existing one) it created duplicates all over the place in my library and generally made a huge mess of everything. The support person (who I suspect is the only person over there) gave me some guff about my id3 tags being corrupt but it was clear that every song that appeared in a playlist was getting duped. Once I fixed this (many weeks later) I tried a one way sync after fiddling with the preferences of Tune Ranger to try to make it work, but it simply wouldn't.
I don't know if anyway has had success using TR where they are also trying to sync playlists, but if you have, I would certainly like to know what you settings are.

My home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2.

my home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2, even during watching a movie. I go to the mac to re-turn on home sharing but it is still on. Any tips? I also have to turn off and back on at the mac every time i switch on my apple tv.

Sharing Stopped working again over night.
I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working

Firewall Section
5. Check Firewall Settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day. This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
Tommorrow will be the true test.

In tune show all summary activity during sync between nb and apple device. One of the summary is memory space status. Audio mayb3gb, photo 2gb, app with 3gb. What is other? Other consist of what type of file?

In tune show all summary activity during sync between nb and apple device. One of the summary is memory space status. Audio mayb3gb, photo 2gb, app with 3gb. What is other? Other consist of what type of file? It show quite substantial storage capacity?? Anyone can answer what is in other??

"Other" includes data such as contact information and photos assigned to contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cookies/history, notes created with the Notes application, SMS messages, email stored locally or cached, and 3rd party application data created and stored by the application.
If "other" is more than say .75GB at the most, you had a corrupt sync. Try syncing again and if the problem persists, the recognized fix for this is to restore your iPad.

2-way Trust Relationship between Windows and Mac Domain

Hi guys I hope someone can help me.
Just a quick explanation of what I am trying to do.
I have an Xserve running OSX 10.5.8 server, which is the OD Master. On that server I’m running Kerio mail server. I have a Microsoft 2003 server running AD.
The problem is I need to run BlackBerry Enterprise on the Windows server as the BlackBerry need active directory to work.
Since I have both system already running, I do not want to destroy my open directory just to get the BlackBerry working.
So what I have tried to do is create a 2-way Trust Relationship between the 2 domains, so the BlackBerry server will talk to the Kerio mail server.
The trust relationship appears to create fine from the Windows server side, but I’m not able to retrieve LDAP information from the open directory server.
The creation from the OSX server starts fine automated but then I had to finish it manually.
Has anyone else here created a 2-way trust relationship between Windows and Mac’s before? Any help on how you did it would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you checked on when the computer last checked in and changed the computer account password with the domain? When a computer changes it's password, Active Directory will store only the current password and it does not expire. The workstation
will store both the current password and the previous password. This for cases when you may restore Active Directory to a point before the computer password change.
To handle this, the workstation will try it's current password, then it's previous.
If you're restoring the workstation to a previous point in time, you may be rolling the stored passwords back too far for Active Directory to accept. I would only imagine this to be the case a handful of times if you're going back 1-2 days.
Are you experiencing 100% failure?

What do you mean by connecting your Windows? The only connection you will get is via iTunes to stream your media content.

Whats going on between Adobe and Apple.

Isn't this surprising to know that there are issues in using
Flash on iPhones. There is kind of strange things happening between
Adobe and Apple regarding Flash being supported on iPhone. Here is
a link to a very good discussion on this issue on engadget. There
is one thing I am sure about, I would definately want to use Flash
on my iPhone rather than using QuickTime, which in some manner
never so quick on my machine.

Indeed. Its upto apple to do the rest cause Adobe showed
interest themselves. Iphone doesn't belong to Adobe doh! So till
Apple takes a step, I doubt anything will happen..

Media Foundation Source or H264 / AC3 differences between Windows and Phone 8?

I've got a working Matroska (MKV) Media Foundation Source for a Windows Store app (PC x86). It will play several different matroska files that contain H264 encoded video and AC3-encoded audio. It even has seek support. I've written the app
as a HTML/typescript Universal app with the MF Source as a C++ dll.
The problem is that the same code will not work on Windows Phone 8. I can play videos that don't require the external MF Source (i.e. MP4 files and AVI files) just fine on both platforms through my app, but the same MKV videos that played on an x86
PC will not play on Windows Phone 8 (Lumia 920).
I looked at the specs for the Snapdragon processor and it should be able to support both H264 at 720p resolution and AC3 (2-channel only). So I don't know what else I need to do to get this to work on WP8. The audio I'm trying to play is actually
6-channel, so that made me wonder if it was failing because WP8 supports 2-channel max, but I would have thought the audio just wouldn't work and the video would play normally.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
*edit* - just to be more specific, I can parse the file and create the presentation descriptor without errors. But when I finish opening the file and call the event for that, nothing else happens. What is weird is that the javascript video player
never throws the "canplay" event, nor does it throw the "error" event.
Lee McPherson

Thanks, not a bad suggestion to try.
On my Windows machine, I tried to get the MediaEncodingProfile via the createFromFileAsyc method. With a known file type, it outputs all properties of the video and audio streams (bitrate, etc). With an MKV file (container file with H264 video
and AC3 audio), I only get the type and subtype properties. Everything else is zero or null. This is because in my MFSource, I only set the type and subtype. This still allows the video to play on my windows machine. I assume the
built-in MFTransform for H264 video-to-uncompressed video parses the stream to get the relevant information. Likewise for audio.
On Windows Phone, when querying the file's MediaEncodingProfile, I get the same result. This is telling me that my MFSource will parse the file properly and set the subtypes for video and audio correctly. Everything else is still null or zero.
However, the file does not play. There is no returned event to the video element that it even *can* play.
Perhaps, I need to fill in the video and audio stream properties on the Windows Phone version. I really don't want to because that would mean having to parse some of the underlying video and audio streams themselves, not just parsing the container
information. (More work!) But this is what I mean when I ask about the differences between Windows and Windows Phone... perhaps the WP8.1 & Windows MFTransforms are different?
*EDIT* - I do get a JavaScript Console error that I didn't notice before: AUDIO/VIDEO: unknown MIME type. (VS error code: MEDIA12899)

Windows 8 and Apple product compatibility

Good Morning,
The other day, I went to purchase a new Windows-based computer at a non-Apple retail store. I would purchase a Macbook, but budget limitations. When I asked what Windows computer would be best for basic usage (managing IPOD, managing IPADs, managing music, and basic computing), I was told that Windows 8 is not compatible with Apple products. The retail personnel said that he had numerous returns of products because their Iproducts were not syncing (in fact he returned his computer). I have researched the communities and found that there are numerous solutions and reasons for the problem, but the variation in the answers leads me to think that the core issue has not been addressed.
Question:
1. Has the compatibility issues between Windows 8 and Iproducts been corrected? If not, is there any news of the compatibility being addressed in a future release?
2. What is the exact problem and how can it be corrected if I do purchase a new Windows computer?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi urbwebb,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
iTunes is compatible with Windows 8 and you should have no issue syncing any device to a Windows 8 computer. The Windows System Requirements can be found on the following webpage.

I hope this helps,

Home Sharing no longer works between iTunes and Apple TV.

I've been through all the forums, tried all the solutions provided and I have come to the conclusion that Home Sharing just no longer works between iTunes on a PC and my Apple TV. Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed or should I list my Apple TV up on eBay? (along with my iPad, iPod, and iPhone, since all system no longer sync together as before.)
My issue:
My iTunes library is no longer listed under "Computers" on the Apple TV.
The airplay icon no longer shows up in iTunes. (Version 11)
I cannot play music/content from my iPhone or iPad via remote that is stored in my iTunes library through my Apple TV.
I can however play music/content that is stored locally on my iPhone and iPad through my Apple TV.
My firewall settings are allowing access to Apple TV.
After logging into my router, I see no issues there.
I've logged in/out, turned home sharing on/off, de-authorized/authorized, and restarted my PC, Apple TV, and Router.
All devices are logged into the same iTunes account, and are on the same wireless network.
Time for a solution Apple.

If you turn off wifi on your Computer and connect it to the apple tv using an ethernet cable can you see your library under computers in Apple TV.
If yes the issue is with your wifi not the Apple TV
You may want to try the troubleshooting article
I also found this article
iTunes Home Sharing Not Working
Not working and sometimes when it is working, it cuts out in the middle, or when you click on the computer name, the focus goes away from the library. In other words, really weird.
What it is
iTunes has a feature called "Home Sharing" - it basically allows you to share your entire or part of your library with other instances of iTunes in your home network. It requires you to login to your iTunes account on both computers. A typical scenario is to enable Home Sharing on your desktop machine and then access the library from your iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, Mac, etc.
In my case, I have iTunes on my desktop machine running Windows XP in the attic with Home Sharing enabled and then I access the library from my Macbook and Apple TV, depending on what I want. How to use Home Sharing can be found here.
Symptoms
Home Sharing machine not showing up in Apple TV or the Macbook
The Macbook home sharing not showing up on my desktop
Home Sharing working intermittently
Connections getting cut of intermittently
Usually, restarting iTunes or the desktop computer will make things work.
Sometimes, restarting the Macbook or the Apple TV will make things work.
The "working" doesn't last long
The FixOn the desktop computer where the Home Sharing is enabled, I disabled the "QoS Packet Scheduler" from the network connection:
Open Control Panel
Open Network Connections
Right-Click on your connection (in my case, it was "Wireless Network Connection 4"
Select Properties
Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler"
Click OK
Restart iTunes if necessary
After doing the above, Home Sharing worked like a charm.

Windows and Apple together?

I have a Dell desktop with Widows XP. I remember the news was talking about how Windows is no longer carrying support for XP, and I do t have the money to shell out for a Windows 7 or 8 program, so I'm thinking about recycling the computer tower, including the mouse and keyboard. I do have an Acer laptop with Windows 7, however, I want an iMac desktop, just in case my laptop acts goofy again. My laptop's down due to malfunctioned hardware and a busted screen. Is it possible that I can use both Windows and Mac?

Yes, there are multiple methods to run MS Windows on Mac. That ability has been present for the past 8 years. You can use Boot Camp or you can use virtualization applications such a VMWare's Fusion or Parrallels. To learn more about Boot Camp click: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ and for Fusion click http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/features.html?gclid=CKie37rUn74CFQGTfgodHm cA8A and for Parallels click http://www.parallels.com/landingpage/pd/general/?utm_nooverride=1&src=r&gclid=CL bKvMvUn74CFcdefgodn4YAaA.
Each will require a valid SLA of MS Windows.
There are other virtulaization solutions for OS X however the two mentioned are the industry leaders and provide the best support.
