Mixed platform - PC and (not "or") MAC

Could someone confirm that what is meant when one says that LR can allow you to work on both PC and MAC?
SO if we have LR loaded on my home PC and my portable Macbook Pro, and my LR catalogue/previews/actual picture folders are on a mobile external hard drive any and all changes:
- made to images using LR on my MAC running OS 10 Leopard (such changes which are saved as instructions into the Catalog) when I move back to my PC at home and open the same catalog on my PC (running either Windows XP or Vista) all changed images will be displayed correctly - with the changes incorporated; and vice versa
- made to images using LR on my PC running either Windows XP or Vista (which is then saved back on the same Catalog) when I go on the road and open the same catalgoue on my MAC (running OX 10 Leopard) all changed images will be displayed correctly -with the changes incorporated?
If so ... I must take my hat off to Adobe for creating a true cross platform set of instructions which is stored in the Catalog and previews which can trully be read X-platform (seeing that it took Windows ages to get a true cross platform version of WORD/EXCEL - this is no mean feat).
Can some confirm the above - cross/mixed platform nature of LR?

It is true! and the plan! Even the licensing is cross platform.

  • Is it possible for songs to be stored on an external hard drive and not my mac, and still play on iTunes? For example: those songs only show up when I plug in my hard drive. My mac has low memory, and I have a lot of songs.

    Title! I'm a starting up aspiring dj/musician. Thank you!

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
    2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/  - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not  really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

  • Emails on Z10 and NOT on Mac

    For some reason when I open an email on my Z10 it doesn't seem to appear on my Mac PC? Is there anyway I can alter this?

    Hey saraparker,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Just to clarify, you just open the emails on the BlackBerry Z10 and do not delete them?  What type of mail server are you using?  POP3, IMAP or Exchange?
    If you access the webmail and not the client, is the email message still listed there?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Why does exchange server work for MSN Mail on iPad and not on Mac Mini?

    My MSN Mail works great on my iPad and iPhone but will not work on my Mac Mini? I input the same server address but it will not connect. I've even tried m.hotmail.com, etc. but not joy.
    Any ideas please?

    At the moment the only way to do this between a Mac and iPad with Outlook/Hotmail would be if you used webmail on the Mac. Anything you do in webmail would be shown on the iPad and vice versa.
    It used to be possible with the free GMail to use IMAP on the Mac and ActiveSync on the iPhone/iPad which would have been the sort of solution you are looking for. Now with the free GMail you have to use IMAP on the iPhone/iPad as well (ActiveSync is no longer available in the free GMail). IMAP would sync the changes still.
    Unfortunately as IMAP is not available for Outlook.com/Hotmail you cannot do the samething as a workaround.
    You could get a free GMail account and have it collect all your Hotmail messages, then you could use IMAP on both.

  • LIghtroom 5.7 Freeze and not answering MAC OS/X  10.9.5

    Hi
    After installing lightroom 5.7 I get some performances issues. Lightroom is using a lot of memory," free memory available" is decreasing even I am doing nothing.
    In  all modules, when I want to go from on image to an other, there are freeze every 5 or 6 images. 1/1 preview are build and never deleted.
    My system is a Macbook pro 8 giga RAM, 500Giga fast disk running MAC OS/X  10.9.5, only one application is running Lightroom 5.7
    my library is a small one  21,000 images in RAW format
    You can see the message in red sorry it is in French "Lightroom (ne réponds pas) "   Lightroom not answering. During the time you can see the message, Lightroom is frozen, then all previous click and actions are made in a short time.
    Each time I am going from one image to an other in all modules , the free memory available is going down and never be cleaned by Lightroom (Memory leak?)
    After 15 minutes, to take a slow look of about 500 images, Lightrrom is using 2,0 Gig memory and free memory available is reaching less than 60Meg, yes about 0 Giga
    If I continue trying to do my job, lightroom can stay in the frozen state during 2 minutes.Then I can do myself a memory clem to get 2.88 GB of free memory, then Lightrrom is returning to 1 Giga real memory usage and return to some normal speed
    condition
    Hop this can help developers.

    Here is a view to my Apple system, don't say this system is too old please. I will return to Lightroom 5.4 where the performance were good enough for my job.

  • Xserve showing as PC server in sidebar and not a mac server

    Hi
    I currently have an Xserve running 10.5.8 server in a classroom environment, all the macs bind to the server and can connect to its share points using home directories. The server however is appearing in the sidebar on all macs as a pc server and in a folder called servers all the macs are running 10.5.8 and 10.6.2. This is causing problems with some share points and screen sharing. Can anyone help me with this I have tried restarting the afp and smb, resetting the dns service, restarting the server and repairing disk permissions.
    Thanks

    Hi sorry, no its 10.5.8 Server, Most macs on the network running 10.5 and some 10.6
    I had been working fine until yesterday, pre-updates
    I've switch all the connections afp, smb, dns etc. off with restarts and switched them back on again with restarts.
    Repaired permissions. restarted, propagated permissions to all folders, restarted. Which actually worked for a short while, with the mounted dock shares.
    But still not getting the server to display in the share sidebar. As it was previously displaying as a PC server I switched off the smb. This is when it stopped displaying the server all together although I can connect via cmd+k. I've just switched smb back on and its displaying the server as a PC server again
    I've also tried rebinding the server via directory util.
    I used to click the arrow and it would have the server address ready to choose. Now I have to add it manually.
    Oddly enough, when I noticed the problem, most of the network worked fine apart from 3. 2 of which had lost the bind and wouldn't logon and 1 had lost the users preferences. The 2 that were rebind started fine with mounted shared dock but the 1 that lost the preferences lost the mounts.
    Now the mounts appears as a question mark and when click is prompt for the admin password.
    I'm guessing that I need to repair permissions and propagate the folder permissions too again.
    Still lost without being able to get to the server without finding a monitor though....
    Hope that helps a bit more.
    Thanks again

  • I have a pdf form created in Live Cycle Designer, that submits on a PC and not a Mac

    I created a Fillable form in LiveCycle designer. It has a submit button that submits to a php script that save the filled form to the server. It works fine on a PC in both Firefox and IE, but on Firefox it opens Acrobat and I get a file not found error when I hit the submit button.
    Any suggestions on why this happens and how to fix it?

    I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables.  The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows.  Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?

    You can see the encoding is already off in your Tagged Text data file, so the error lies in the program you used to do that conversion.

  • Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on Mac?

    Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on my MacAir (OS X 10.9.2)? Generally, I can open PDFs on my Mac, but in this case, I opened on iPhone, and not on computer! Also pptx file from one sender opened on iPhone, and not on Mac, and the same pptx sent from another person wouldn't open on either! Help!

    Hi there.  I think as far as PowerPoint files go (pptx) you will need a copy of Office or some other compatible software (e.g. Keynote) to open it on your Mac.  On an iPhone there is a viewer built in just so you can take a look at most common attachment types.  If you have a copy of Microsoft Office on your Mac you should be able to open the pptx files in PowerPoint.
    OS X definitely has a PDF viewer, it's called Preview.  I think you can also load Adobe Acrobat if you want but I've stayed away from it for years as I find Preview faster and better.
    If you still can't open a PDF file attached to an email message on your MacAir by double clicking on it, could you let us know what error message you get, or what happens?  That will help people to help you.

  • My hard drive is full!!!! Help me please!!! PC not a Mac

    I have two drives on my computer, a C and D drive. My itunes is installed on my C drive and it is currently full. My D drive is almost empty. Is there any way I can transfer the itunes program to my d drive? I've attempted this but all it does it move my library over to the d drive and the actual itunes program is still on my c drive with an empty library. And by the way it's a PC and not a Mac...can anyone please help?

    Leave the iTunes application where it is.
    In iTunes, go to iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
    Point the *iTunes music folder location* to the D: drive.
    Tick *Keep iTunes music folder organized*.
    Tick *Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library*.
    Go to menu File -> Library -> Consolidate library.
    This will copy everything in iTunes to the D: drive and iTunes will use that location for everything from now on.
    Quit iTunes and drag My Document/My Music/iTunes/iTunes music folder to the trash but do NOT empty it yet.
    Restart iTunes and verify everything works okay. If so empty the trash.

    you can use the external HDD, but you still need to go thru itunes.
    the appletv cannot connect direct to the external HDD.
