Mac compatibility issue

I have a web site on MobileMe that I created with iWeb. There is music that automatically starts on each page. I tested using Safari and Firefox on a Mac and IE on a Windoze machine. In all cases, the site works exactly as it should.
Open it with Safari on iPad and the music not only does not start automatically, it can't even be manually started. (The control panel is visible.)
Is there anything that I can do to correct this?

Did you actually try to make it play? I tried and nothing happened.
Oh yes. And in true iPad fashion, I had trouble getting it to stop playing. It keep going even when I switched to Mail. That might be more of an issue than the autoplay. What if you get the autoplay working, but then the users can't stop it? The expectation is that you can just close the page to stop the music, but that isn't true on the iPad. You have to physically stop it - important plot point.
The site existed for quite some time merely for personal enjoyment. It's only recently that I had decided to try to make a few bucks and, until you mentioned it, I hadn't even thought about copyright. I might end up scrapping the music entirely as I don't expect to earn much more than "beer money" from this venture.
I wouldn't let that deter you. You can always ask. If they say no I bet you could find someone with original music you could use - the music department of a local college, for example.

HT4413 Time Machine- moving files onto a new mac- compatibility issues?

If you use Time Machine to load files from a mac running snow leopard to a new mac running lion, will everything work normally in lion thereafter on the new mac? It won't try to revert the new computer to snow leopard, will it?
Also, I want to clear off the old computer once I do this (an 2008 Snow Leopard macbook) so my sister can use it for basic internet, etc. What is the best way to do this?
Last question: I have a 2008 Microsoft Office Suite program that I installed in 08 on the macbook. It came with 3 access codes total, and I split it 3 ways with 2 roomies and we each have one access code. If the office is uninstalled on this old computer and I try reinstalling it on the new one, can I use the same code as before or will it think that I am trying to use the same code on two computers? I don't need the program on the old computer anymore and just want to "switch" it to the new one.
Thanks so much for any ideas!

No, it can't revert Lion to Snow Leopard.
Your user data and preferences should be transferred without problem.
Applications, if you elect to copy them over, may need updates to work in Lion.
Some applications won't work at all - those written for use on earlier PPC Macs (the G3, G4, G5 series) won't run at all. That includes Appleworks, Office versions before 2008, and some Adobe Products.
You'll need to replace those applications with compatible current ones that can open the files created in them.

Boot from your grey installer DVD disc 1 (hold down the C key on startup or hold down Alt/option on start and choose the installer disc).
OK the language page (if present). From the installer screen, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility; depending on the OS version it may be in the Utilities menu or Tools menu.
Do not click 'Continue' yet!
In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.). Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need. Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
This next step is optional;
When that's finished, select the new volume in the sidebar (indented to the right below the drive) and go to the Erase tab, select Security options and select zero data (one pass is more than sufficient). Click erase. That will take quite some time; probably measured in hours and dependant on the size of the drive.
(The purpose of this step is to ensure there is no recoverable data left on the drive).
When that's completed, close DU and continue with the installation.
When installation is complete, after the restart ignore the setup assistant and shut down the Mac (you may have to do this by holding down the power button).
The Mac is now ready for the new owner to personalise it as if new.
Be sure to pass on the original grey discs with the Mac, and the SL retail disc if you loaded SL.
You can use the Snow Leopard retail disc instead of the grey discs, but you won't be asked to load disc 2 and the iLife software on it in that case. If you use the grey discs first, you can simply follow up by installing SL over the top to upgrade the system files. It won't affect anything else (leave out the partition and erase steps of course!)

Sorry, you need to ask in the MS or Office forums for that.

Windows / Mac compatability issues

I'm planning on buying a 12" PowerBook soon. (Because I just can't stand running a PC anymore). My question is this: all of the content I've purchased from iTunes and downloaded myself from my own DVD's and albums - can I transfer the files from my PC to my new Mac when I need to, or am I going to have to start over again from scratch? AND if so, what will happen to the songs I bought from iTunes?
Thnx

When I transferred from PC to Mac I did loose my playcounts though... What I did was export my library on my pc and copy the music across the network into the Mac's iTunes library folder. This was quite difficult, but there is a Mac (now windows in beta) program that will sync your libraries, see:
http://homepage.mac.com/oligrob/syncOtunes/syncOtunes.html
then install this on your new powerbook. It will let you sync your libraries between your two computers.
PS. what Sam the Rocker says about protected songs is true though wen you've finished you may want to use Windows iTunes to de-authorise the windows version of iTunes from being able to play your protected songs.
PPS The powerbook and iBook line may be about to go Intel in January (apparently, though this is according to mac rumor websites so may be completely wrong...) so if you can wait that long it may be a good idea.
Hope this helps

Hello:
Thank you for the update for remote access for desktops.
Personally, I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend. Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only? What if I do not update? I do use this lap top in other countries. compatibility issues with what?

Apple Remote Desktop is off be default. It has to be enabled for some one to be able to remotely connect to the computer. And then, you still have to have a user name and password on the computer to remotely connect with.
If you want to see if remote access has is enabled for Apple Remote Desktop; you can find the setting in, Apple Menu, System Prefrences, Sharing. If it's enabled, Remote Management or Screen Sharing will be checked.
Beucase Apple Remote Desktop Agent is part of the Mac Operating System; even if your not using it, Apple Software Updates will from time to time offer updates for ARD Agent. Software Updates can some times be stacked ontop of each other; so chosing not to install an update, can mean other updates you may want may not be offered. At least until you install the updates those updates require. Also software updates can improve the security of your computer.

Mac Pro (Early 2008) and HP LP3065 30" display compatibility issue

Hello!
Is there FIX / Workaround to Mac Pro (Early 2008) and HP LP3065 30" display compatibility issue ? ( +w/ ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT display adapter+ ). Its really annoying problem :-/.
Main problem is when i start my Mac, my 30" HP screen dosen't wake up, it always on suspend mode. Sometimes it wakes up on the 3rd try orso, sometimes it ruins my motivation, ideas and i give up (talk about inspiration killer). If i connect PC Laptop to that screen, sreen wakes up straight away. ATI says display adapters "drivers" are included on the OSX install. Great. Weird thing is i didn't recognize this problem at all 6-8 months ago, so i thought my system is fine. So i can't return my HP screen anymore.
My choices are to buy another 30" screen or buy different display adapter; there's two choices atm i think;
*-ATI Radeon HD 3870 512MB PCI-E for Mac Pro (~200€)*
*-EVGA GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition 1GB (~500€)* (this one has seperate OSX drivers).
_Can anyone confirm if those display adapters work with HP 3065 30" screen ?._

Thanks for all information. I haven't been Mac user very long . I just want to get rid of my annoying problem. I'll do music composing mainly on my Mac Pro. So, it dosen't really matter what display card i'm using, i want to just make sure it works with HP 3065 .

Mac / Adobe Compatibility Issues with Reader X1 & Acrobat X1

I'm using Acrobat X1 11.0.10 and Reader 11.0.10 with Mac OS X ( 10.8.5).
In Reader, when I click the "show next page" down arrow, it takes around 5 seconds to jump to the next page. (scrolling to the next page via the scroll bar works fine).
In Acrobat, when I use the text edit tools, it can take up to 10 seconds before I can edit a word (remove or add a letter).Oftentimes, Acrobat will highlight the whole paragraph rather than just the word I select. (I think this is due to the lag time.) When I backspace to remove a word, nothing happens ... for several seconds. Then letters begin disappearing.
I reverted from Mavericks and Yosemite back to Lion (or Mountain Lion - I forget what they called 10.8.5) in the hopes of fixing this issue. When I say reverted back. I did a full install. Wiped the hard drive, loaded 10.8.5 and started this Mac as if it were new.
Is there a version of Reader and Acrobat that work with Mac OS X ( 10.8.5)?

Hi,
Acrobat 11 is compatible with MAC 10.8.5. So, there are no compatibility issues.
Please let me know if this happens with every PDF or some specific one?
If specific, then please tell me what is the size of your PDF file.
You might also try repairing Acrobat from the Help menu.

Compatibility issues with mac OS - Lightroom 4 works where CS5 won't

Hope someone can shed some light on this issue...
I tried installing Lightroom 4 on Mac OS 10.6.1 (which is currently running CS5 without issues) but the specs call for OS 10.6.8 or later (10.7). When I updated my OS to 10.6.8, none of my CS5 apps work! They encounter launch errors - InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver... only Photoshop seems to work. So, I reverted back to OS 10.6.1 and all the programs function. Is Adobe working on a solution to fix this issue? I see with the forums that several other users have noted the same issue with CS5 not working in the OS 10.6.8 environment. I don't want to upgrade my OS just to have Lightroom function, but none the CS apps. I was thinking of partitioning my HD to load both OS, but that shouldn't be the workaround. I am very disappointed that I've purchased Lightroom 4 and now am unable to use it due to compatibility issues with the OS with the rest of CS5.0.

Pixelzboy are you receiving any specific errors when launching your applications under 10.6.8? CS5 should work just fine with 10.6.8 as well as 10.7.3. You may also want to post to the product specific forums with your launch errors as the users in those forums will be more familiar with troubleshooting steps specific to those products.

E2100L Cisco Connect and Network Magic compatibility issues with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

When you will release the latest version for Wireless router Linksys E2100L?, because I bought a MAC with Lion and I can´t use my Router.
Regards,
Daniel

Older versions of Cisco Connect for Mac computers have compatibility issues with the latest release of Mac OS X (10.7 “Lion”). Only Cisco Connect versions 1.4.11222 and newer are compatible with the Lion operating system.
Here is the link to ensure that Cisco Connect can be installed on your Mac: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=a4e763be954243cfa0ab960c0fac7105_KB_23xxx_EN_v1.xm...
There is no such information about the release of Cisco Connect for E2100L for the Mac OS X (10.7 “Lion”) compatibility, so you need to wait for further release of the firmrware for E2100L.

EssBase plugin VBA compatibility issues, Parallels and Win7 64bit on a MAC

I installed Parallels and Windows 7 64bit on my MAC and am still getting an VBA compatibility issue after installing Essbase Excel AddIn, when opening Excel. Any Solutions???

I am assuming this is a custom-built dust prevention solution, yes?
Anyways, I received my replacement SuperDrive and just realized that due to Windows and Mac's limitations in regards to hard drives larger than 2.2 TB, I can't have any of my 3TB drives with both OS X and Windows without having at least two separate HFS partitions on them since the Windows partition must be in the fourth partition, requiring OS X to be in partition 2, Recovery in partition 3, and the combined size of these first four partitions must be under 2.2 TB.
At least that's my understanding. I currently have three 3 TB drives and one 1 TB drive (which contains Windows XP and 7 only).
I'm not really not sure if Windows has to be in the fourth partition because as I mentioned, my 1 TB drive has EFI in partition 1, Windows XP in partition 2, and Windows 7 in partition 3. I have OS 10.9 on one 3 TB drive, OS 10.7 on the second 3 TB drive, and no OS on the third 3 TB drive. I would prefer to install Windows 8 on that third 3 TB drive and yet have only one HFS partition because my desktop is already seemingly over-crowded with all the internal drives and partitions it has (I also have a 500GB SSD drive which is my 10.10 boot volume, plugged into one of the two unused SATA motherboard ports).
My plan is to first determine if I can now break the 1 TB drive barrier I ran into before and install two Windows OSs on a 2 TB drive (technically, I am going to clone my 1 TB Windows partitions onto the 2 TB drive). Next, I will attempt to partition a 3 TB drive with Windows 8 in partition 2 and HFS in partition 3.

Compatibility issues between CS5.5 & new macs?

Hello all. Does anyone know if there are compatibility issues between Audition CS5.5 and new macs? Just got a 2013 MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9) and haven't been able to install my copy of CS5..5, which I've been using on an older mac for years. I've tried both the original installation disc and a download.
Thanks!

Depends entirely on the application. You should probably visit the
individual product forums for details.
I will tell you this. For InDesign you're not going to be happy at all.

Seagate ST8000AS0002 8TB 5900RPM 128MB Cache SATA3 - for Backup Data Only. Are there any compatibility issues with an older 3,1 Apple Mac Pro 8-Core 2.8GHz (4-Core x 2) ?

Finally mass storage drives are being released. The Seagate ST8000AS0002 8.0 TB 5900RPM has just been released in Australia and I was advised to check on any compatibility issues, being that my 3,1 Mac Pro is an old, but working fine machine.
I have read there are possible issues with using HDs greater than 2TB with the MP 3,1 . But checking with OWC, they say the Seagate 4.0 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive is compatible for use with the MP 3,1.
So can the hardware and operating system handle an 8.0 TB of this sort ?

The problem is with formatting the large disk. The Mac can see and use them if formatted for a Mac
Format large disks
That bug appeared in 10.8.4, and has not yet been fixed.
using a Disk Utility from any older Mac OS X, including the 10.6 DVD (if your Mac can boot from it) or any saved Installer DVD or thumb drive will work.
Another work-around is to move that drive to an external enclosure and Erase it there (provided your enclosure is modern enough to deal with drives over 2.2TB.

Compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 on G5 PowerMac?

Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?

I do not use Microsoft Excel much but when i do use it it works fine on my G5. my powerbook has excel to but sometimes freezes on the powerbook. but not the G5 so give it a try you can always uninstall it if it does not work good

Intel Mac? End of Windows-Apple compatability issues?

So, i'm a noob in the world of macs. when apple comes out w/ intel based notebooks and computers, will this mean you will be able to run pc only programs on the new intel macs? educate me, i've tried to research my question, and pretty much came up w/ no straight forward answer.
-Ian

thanks for the responses. if you have anything else to add, please do so.
the main reason i bring this up, in which you can see in my other thread i posted, i'm looking to buy an apple laptop. but as a student majoring in electrical engineering, there are compatability issues. nonetheless, i'm pretty much set on buying an apple laptop, despite the issues. i will be doing what ifelix has stated, and use vpc to run any programs that i need to. and if worse comes to worse, i still have a desktop pc running windows, so i can just use that if vpc isn't working out for me.
seeing as to how i'm already writing in this post, i'm going to ask some questions:
i plan on buying a powerbook- faster, etc. but if i chose to buy an ibook, will that be able to run vpc as well as the powerbook? would i need to just throw in some more memory to get it up to par w/ the powerbook? b/c i love the design of the powerbook (a couple of my friends have one) but the ibook is like a couple hundreds of dollars cheaper.
throw in some knowledge if you can.
thanks again

Should I expect any compatibility issues by working partly under Windows and partly under MAC OS?

Apologies if this point was already raised but could not find the answer.
I am considering the creative cloud in an environment where the same files will be worked within windows and MAC environment.
Should I expect any compatibility issues or difference with such a setup.
thanks in advance.

Hi JLCbac,
Files do support cross platform workflow, however, there are certain limitations to it.
