There are a couple of ways, one way is to select all-copy-paste.

  • I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

    I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
    I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
    My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
    Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
    I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

    Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
    WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
    If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
    The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.

  • Syncing between mac and windows

    I have an issue where I have created files in Adobe Draw (and previously in Ideas) which I have then saved to the Creative Cloud. I open these files in Illustrator on my Mac, save them back to the cloud then open them on a Windows PC. When I save these files on the PC, I get the Unable to Sync Files error message. I have gone through these solutions Error: "Unable to sync files" but no solution applies. If I create a file on my PC, it syncs fine. Is there a known issue when sharing files between Mac and Windows? I can save the files to Dropbox or email them and I don't have this issue. Thanks

    Details:
    -Don't start the server before unit task, unit task already checks if the server is not running and starts the server.
    -Don't stop the server after FlexUnit tests, JUnit tests need the server running, and they will stop the server after they are done.

  • What format for my external drive allows use with Mac and Windows?

    I got an external hard disk (1 tr) and i want to used it for my windows and mac, i read i can have two partitions one for mac and one for windows, but i dont really want to have two parts, and I read i can format it by fat32 and i can write and read on both os, is that true?
    I want to use it for movies, os backups, and files..
    Is it true that i can only save files up to 4 GB when the format is fat32?
    please advise..

    It this case you would need to to go to "Disk Utility" on mac and select 3 partions which will be under the Parition Layout in my screen shot below. "Current" is grayed out that will drop down select 3 partitions and make one NTFS, second Mac OS Extended, third FAT32. Using the FAT32 for both Mac and Windows but the files have to be under 4GB each.

  • How to use an external hard drive and copy files to the disk for mac and windows??

    please tell me how to copy files to external hard disk and use it for both mac and windows. there is the fat32 formatting bt i dont wanna use formatting because i already have a lot of content on the exteral hard disk. thank you.

    It is simplest to have the HDD formatted to noe common to both Mac an PC.  ExFAT is one.  But to do that will erase all data on the HDD.
    If the HDD id formatted NTFS, Mac can read but not write to it.  The solution then is to use a third party application such as Paragon or Tuxera which will overcome that obstacle.  These applications do have mixed reviews.
    Ciao.

  • VPN -- different behavior between Mac and Windows XP clients.

    Hi,
    Background:
    I have a Mini server serving L2TP IPSEC vpn with both Mac and Windows (all XP, so far) clients.
    The mini sits behind a Netopia router/firewall/NAT box that port forwards L2TP traffic to the mini.
    The mini has a public but unrouted address (unrouted in the public Internet, that is.) The same Netopia serves as the router for outgoing public connections. DNS is served by other servers.
    The VPN clients are distributed addresses from the unrouted public address space.
    Client <-> NAT <-> Public Cloud <-> NAT <-> Private (with public addresses) <-> Mini (VPN)
    Mac clients work happily, accessing internal and external hosts.
    The XP clients have a registry value set to allow NAT traversal:
    under HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPSec, AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule is set to 2 to allow dual Nat traversal.
    The XP clients happily access internal hosts, but hang accessing some, but not all external hosts.
    For example, most Google services are quickly displayed, whereas www.comcast.net or www.llbean.net hang. It appears to be more frequent accessing third-party hosts while processing the initial page. Some Google web services, e.g. some Google Map plugins do eventually hang.
    An XP host internal to the network configured with the above registry key set to 0 (No NAT traversal)
    exhibits the same behavior when using a VPN connection
    Public Cloud <-> NAT <-> Private (with public addresses) <-> Mini (VPN) <-> Pvt. <-> Client
    Same host without VPN works fine.
    Clearing the XP checkbox that routes all traffic to the remote (VPN) router makes external hosts work
    as you would expect.
    So my questions are:
    a) What's XP doing?
    b) Can it be fixed? (besides routing public traffic away from the VPN.)
    Thanks Jonathan
    p.s. MrHoffman, I almost asked this in the HP Forum as well, till I noticed you were here. (Assuming you are Hoff.)

    Hi soccerdude21490-
    +Is this possible?+
    Theoretically yes. However, it would be up to the school to allow you access through their network.
    The first step would be to contact the school's IT department and ask them if they will allow such a connection, and if so, could they please provide you with the settings (ip address etc.).

  • Cd-rom for Mac and Windows

    Hi there,
    I want to make an hybrid cd-rom for both, Mac and Windows, and I am using the fscommand code in the first frame of my actions:
    fscommand("fullscreen","false"); // returns the player to normal menu view.
    fscommand("allowscale","false"); //sets the player so that the SWF file is always drawn at its original size and never scaled.
    I want both commands with their properties, however the displayState property is new to me. Please, Could you help me to do the same with this?.
    Of course all in AS3.
    I also have a code for a button that closes the .app of the .exe:
    function cerrar(e:MouseEvent):void {
    fscommand("quit");
    cerrar_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cerrar);
    Thanks in advance.

    The stage displayState and scale properties are like so:
    // fullscreen
    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
    // fullscreen with keyboard active
    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
    // non-fullscreen
    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
    Note that changing the displayState is usually done after the first frame is rendered so adding in a listener for that before changing it is a good idea. The scale and align don't require this.
    e.g.
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _onEF);
    function _onEF(e:Event):void
         // frame has rendered, remove listener
         removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _onEF);
         // change display state
         stage.displayStage = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
    Speaking of align, if you use NO_SCALE and expect to resize, you'll probably want to anchor the resizing from the upper left, like so:
    // top left registration
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    Otherwise upon resize the upper left pixel will actually go into negative numbers.
    Scaling is:
    // no scale
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    // scale to fit exactly (aspect not maintained)
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
    // scale but maintain aspect:
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;
    Exiting a projector, still the same..
    import flash.system.fscommand;
    cerrar_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cerrar);
    function cerrar(e:MouseEvent):void
         fscommand("quit");

  • Formatting external hard drive for MAC and Windows

    I have an external hard drive that I would like to make compatible with BOTH Mac and Windows. I don't want to split it but is there any way that I can make it compatible to where I can use it back and forth between both? I have classes and use Photoshop on both systems and need to be able to read and write to the hard drive from each system. Please let me know if this is possible and how? Thanks

    I have a 500GB external HDD which I had to format o Fat32 a while ago. I don't remember exactly how I did it, but I remember it was a pain in the *** and took forever (I was under Windows XP).
    So short answer to your question is yes. It is possible and as the above person said, you need to format to Fat32. Long answer is it will take some time and effort. Here are a few links to help you get started:

    I haven't tried any of these (I believe I formatted mine downloading a third party app), but you might be lucky. Good luck.

  • Do I need two separate licenses to be able to use Flash Builder on Mac and Windows?

    Does my Creative Cloud subscription allow me to install Flash Builder on both Mac and Windows machines?

    Hi,
    I know it has been a while since you replied to me. I tried it at the time and sadly it didnt work and I got frustrated and ignored it for a while. I have just tried what you suggested again and this is how it went:
    • I have connected both the AX and iMac via ethernet cables to the O2 box.
    • This time my iMac did detect the AX and it automatically opened the AirPort Utility window.
    • I followed your instructions on the setting and connected it to my existing network etc.
    • It asked to restart the AX.
    • After a long wait this message appear:
    "Airport Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting.
    The settings for this Apple wireless device have been successfully updated, but there was a problem rejoining the wireless network or finding the Apple wireless device. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again."
    I tried this and now when I click Rescan in the AirPort utility it just says that it cannot detect any devices. And in the meantime the AX is still flashing orange.
    Do you think that the AX is faulty. Although it was functioning perfectly in my previous flat. I just don't understand how one minute the iMac detects it and the next it doesn't even though the settings have been supposable successfully updated. Very frustrating.
    Thanks for your time,
    Louca

  • Using Time Capsule with Both a Mac and Windows PC

    All ... is it possible to backup both Mac and Windows computers to the same Time Capsule?  My current networked devices include:
    1 Windows 7 desktop (wireless/ethernet capable)
    1 MacBook Air (wirelessly connected to home network)
    1 New iPad (wirelessly connected to home network)
    2 iPhone 4S (wirelessly connected to home network)
    1 Airport Extreme (currently hardwired to my Windows 7 desktop)
    Thoughts/comments on leveraging the Time Capsule as purely a backup storage solution for all the devices listed above?  Is it possible?  Please advise.  Thanks!

    I use a backup software to save backups to the TC from windows... it is no big issue.. but the TC should never get any where near close to full.. TM takes a lot of space to work efficiently.. so make sure there is still more than enough space.. since TM will do hourly incremental backups it can grow rather quickly if you do lots of big file edits on the Mac.
    Hanging a USB hard disk off a windows desktop is a better solution in lots of way.. it can be formatted native windows NTFS.. and is faster than TC without adding to network bandwidth.
    But the TC is great for wireless with windows laptop same as Apple side.

  • Can I mount my external hard drive which will be compatible with both Mac and Windows?

    Hello,
    Can I mount my external hard drive which will be compatible with both Mac and Windows? If yes, then please let me know, because I intend to use my hard drive for both Windows and Mac, without losing any file.

    Yes. By default, Mac OS X and Windows can read and write drives which are formatted as FAT32 or exFAT; NTFS drives aren't writable from Mac OS X without additional software.

  • How can I make an icon that links to a webpage that works with Mac and Windows??

    Hi!
    I burn CDs with my photos and send them to clients.   Besides the photos folder, I would like to include a file (similar to the .webloc files on the Mac Desktop) that can be clicked and it will be linked to my website - it will open up a browser window and go to my website .      Is it posssible to make one of these icons that works with both Macs and Windows machines?  Thanks!

    Now it works!  Thanks, Denico!
    The reason I saved to text:   The first time I followed your instructions, it did not work.   I tried to figure out what I did wrong and saw that you wrote to "save as plain text."   I did not know what this means and there was no option available to save a plain text.  So I looked around and saw "save as stationery" and I guessed that maybe that was what you meant.   And after that, it worked!  But the next thing you know, the icons started duplicating themselves.
    I guess I had made a different mistake in the beginning and I fixed it without knowing what it is.
    Thanks for clearing that up.
    But just one question.  WHY does saving as "stationery" make an icon duplicate itself?
