Migrate Collections between Win and Mac versions of Bridge

Would like to know if it is possible to migrate Bridge collections between Windows and Mac machines.
On the two respective main machines one or two of the the root folder names differ, but the subfolder structures are the same.
In addition, both machines can access other resources from a common USB drive, so that any collections of images from that drive will have identical paths.
Would like to avoid repeating the collection-building process if it is possible to migrate the data from one machine to another.
Please let me know what is possible.

You could just copy the photos from one machine
to another and then let the cache build. You have to make sure you export the XMP files along with the photo or you will lose edits and some info.
If you can move them with Bridge this is the best bet to keep all the pieces together. If you are using just central cache you will have to explore the option of "export xmp files"in one of the dropdown boxes. Not at a computer with Bridge on it..

Do I need to reset the router when switching between Win and Mac?

I just set up my new Mac Pro with OSX 1.5.2 and Win XP using Bootcamp and it all works fine, but I have one question about connecting to the internet.
I have a Belkin pre-N wireless router. I am connected using an ethernet cable.
When I switch between OSX and Windows by restarting the computer, is it necessary to restart the router while the computer is off so that when it comes back on it can locate its proper connection?
When I was working on my old PC and my new Mac Pro, I noticed that if I just took the ethernet cable from the Mac or PC and connected it to the other machine, it couldn't find the internet unless I turned off the router, waited a moment and turned it back on again, connected to the other machine and then started the machine.
As the two OSs are now in the same machine, will this continue to happen or can I simply switch between operating systems without having to re-initialize the router and connect it before turning on the computer again?
I haven't tried it yet because I am afraid to screw things up, so I am continuing to turn off, restart the router, re-connect and turn the computer on again. That work perfectly but it is tedious.
Can anyone please advise on whether this is necessary or not?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Luis:
You should be able to leave the router on and switch between the two OSes. Try it. Worst thing that can happen is that you would need to restart the router.

Difference between Windows and Mac versions

Could anyone tell me whether the files generated by the Mac version of In-design stricly identical to the *.indd and other files (templates, libraries) generated under Window? If not, what are the differences? Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no significant difference, but they will not be bit-for-bit identical.
For instance, the INDD file format records which version and platform of InDesign created the file, so that small piece of information will certainly differ. Also, historically, when Macs used non-Intel processors with different byte order, ID may have stored some numbers in reversed byte order. But since everything is Intel now, that's not an issue.
In any case, there is 100% compatibility between both platforms. Mac ID can read Windows ID and vice versa.

Tumblr breaks advanced font settings in Firefox, all Win and Mac versions

tumblr.com and tumblr.com/dashboard do not support, or break, the ability to choose your own fonts in Firefox. The problem affects Firefox 12-14 on Windows OS, and may also affect Firefox for the Mac.
The problem: unchecking the option "allow pages to choose their own fonts" does not produce the expected result; the user font settings are ignored by tumblr. There is already extensive documentation of the problem in the forums including screen shots and font info.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932614?s=font+override+ignored+by+website&r=2&as=s
The problem is easy to recreate.
The mystery is: how is tumblr screwing up ''do/do not allow pages to choose their own fonts'' in Firefox? Is it a problem in CSS? Something else?

I can make Firefox use the selected default font on Linux, so it is possible.
Firefox uses Nimbus Sans L Regular instead of Helvetica

Does anyone know if there is a way to share files between Mavericks and Mac OS 9.1 operating system?

Does anyone know if there is a way to share files between Mavericks and Mac OS 9.1 operating system? When I try to connect from my iMac I get a window that says "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported." Is there a work-around to this problem or is it just not possible? It would be largly appriciated for a solutin beings my business is a small town newspaper, and we have some important files on the older computer that need to be acessed daily.

Actually to share files between OS 8-9 and OS X, all versions, is quite easy from what I read. Look here for some details.
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20003464-263.html
And here.
https://www.google.com/search?q=file+sharing+Mac+OS+9.x&oq=file+sharing+Mac+OS+9 .x&aqs=chrome..69i57.20706j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Or since both OS 9 and OS X can do SMB Windows sharing you could use that protocol to share files from one to the other.
Doesn't really matter what OS you are using. Mac OS/OS X shar files with Windows computers of all types and versions of Windows so the same applies for the different versions of Mac OS/OS X.
Each Operating System takes care of reading and writing files to there respective file formats of the hard drives so that does not have to be the same. They both just have to be able to do Ethernet with the same files sharing protocol.

Sharing files between users and macs

My husband and I share an iMac. I have a MBA for traveling and my husband a PC laptop (though he rarely uses for private stuff). We both have iPhones.
We are looking for a way to:
- Share our photos (we don't use iPhoto) and some files. We would like to have this in one shared folder, that we can access from both accounts in the iMac, the MBA and ideally (though not a must) the PC and iPhones. We would both need to have admin rights to edit documents, etc.
- Have access to all the information in my account on the iMac from the MBA. Ideally, same thing for his and the PC.
- Have access to all the data remotely when traveling.
- Have all the data backed up locally (we already have a cloud backup, but we'd like to have a local backup too as it's easier and quicker to access)
We have read a lot about configuration, NAS, time capsule... but we get more and more confused, as we are obviously no tech experts.
Dropbox is not our preferred choice. We already have a cloud backup system. We'd rather have the files stored and accessed locally for everyday use.
Using a NAS to store shared folders and backup the rest sounds good, but they either seem very complicated to set up, or they have mixed reviews in terms of stability, especially to access files remotely.
Timecapsule seems easier and more straightforward, but I'm not sure it would solve the "sharing files between users and macs with admin rights"? It seems to be more focused on backing up the main drive and then providing access to the backed up files. (Though I might be completely mistaken!)
We just can't manage to have one shared folder between both accounts in the iMac. We need to grant admin rights document by document. We don't manage to make it work automatically so we both have one folder to access with full rights for all the contents inside it. And this seems to me like something that should easily be done...?
Any help, advice, proposals... would be greatly appreciated!!!

Move any file you want to the other user to access to the Shared Folder. Anything you put in that folder is available to all users.
The shared folder is here:
Macintosh HD > Users > Shared

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.

The best way to transfer videos between devices and mac?

I have an iphone 4s, ipad and a macbook pro - is there any way to transfer videos wirelessly betwen these platforms?
As far as I know icloud only allows photostream of photos only but nit videos. This is quite inconvenient for video users as I normally take videos using my iphone 4s and would like to edit using ipad/mac's iMovie. I suppose I could transfer videos using a wire between iphone and Mac (still a PAIN without being able to transfer wirelessly), and what about between iphone and ipad? I understand Apple might be concerned about storage and speed for video transfer via icloud, if we could selectively do the transfer and have the option to delete them from icloud after the transfer it will be very much easier for video editor like myself.
Or have I just missed something? Is there indeed a way to do so??

If you want to transfer photos and videos from the Mac to the iPhone (but not in the other direction) you can use iTunes and sync via wi-fi: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
If you want to wirelessly tranfer videos in the other direction you may want to look into a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com Note that I have not used that app so be sure to investigate others as well.

How to share files between pc and mac via external hard drive

how can i share my files(mp3,mp4,documents) from my harddisk with mac. i am a new mac user and i have a harddisk of NTFS format(as i was a pc user).I learned that mac supports FAT32 format and therefore i can't write data on my external hard drive.
but, reading a section of OSX yosemite(under compatibility) it is said that now we can easily share files between pc and mac.
So please suggest me easier way that how can i share files between macs and pc as my friends uses pc and in future i really want to share my data with them without any hustle and i dont wanna loose my data in future

You can format the HDD to a common one like ExFAT or Fat32 but a reformat will delete all data off of the HDD.
Your other option is to use a third party software such as Paragon or Tuxera that will allow you to write to a NFTS formatted HDD.
Ciao.

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?

Difference between PC and mac?

With the Intel-based macs, we can install Windows on a mac and run it as if it's running on a PC. That leads me to a question. What exactly is the difference between PC and mac? I know they are different on the OS, but that's just on a software level, which I don't think constitutes the difference. The hard drives are formatted differently on both machines, I know, but we can still use the same hard drive for both a PC or a mac, we just have to format it the right way. So what really is the main thing that constitutes the difference between a PC and a mac? Putting it this way, I can run PC on a mac, can I do it the other way round? Can I install a Mac OS 10.5 on a pure PC made by companies like hp or Dell (or I can easily make one on my own) with an Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad processor, and run the machine like it's a mac?

It doesn't work well because the Mac hardware itself is different from what is found in any other Intel-based computer. Even the CPU's & support chips are not off-the-shelf Intel parts but variants optimized for Macs that are not available to other computer makers or to DIY enthusiasts.
This is probably why for a time in 2007 the 'fastest Windows notebook on earth' was a MacBook Pro, as tested by PC World, a fact touted for a while in Apple TV ads. (It lost that title to a more conventional Wintel laptop about a month later, but the new champ cost over $5000, had "almost nonexistent" battery life, & weighs over 11 pounds, which should give you some idea of the advantages an Intel-Apple collaboration has over the competition.)

I had formatted external HDD as Mac OS Extended(journaled) earlier, but now i want to format the same as ExFAT so that i can copy files between PC and MAC. But it is giving 'Can't unmount' error while i try to run Erase

Use the PC to reformat the drive.

On the mac, only contacts in the "iCloud" section will sync to other devices. Those in the "On my mac" section do not. Could that be your problem?
To test the icloud situation, log into icloud.com with your mac's safari and to to the contacts page. What you see there is what icloud has received from mac and iphone.
