N8 & NMT for Mac - Missing artwork for transcoded ...

Hello fellow Nokians!
I recently got a Nokia N8 and I am having a following issue:
Huge part of music files transferred using Nokia Multimedia Transfer for Mac is missing album artwork. As far as I can see artwork is present only on files directly copied from my iTunes library (MP3 and MP4 AAC files, compatible with N8), but is missing on all files transcoded from MP4 Apple Lossless format (which NMT is transcoding to custom set 256kbps AAC format).
That's quite a surprise, because my previous device - N95 - behaved quite the opposite way - only transcoded files had artwork, and MP3 and AAC files were missing it.
Because most of my library is in Apple Lossless i find it quite annoying that now most of my music in N8 is missing nice album covers... especially this phone has so gorgeus display....
N8 firmware - latest - 014.002
NMT 1.4.2 - latest device profile update applied
Any hints?

Thank you aspergerguy for possible solution for the problem, I may check it in future but it considers another workflow.
Right now I'd like to use NMT, as it provides nice integration with my Mac iTunes library - and I wonder if there is someone who ran into same problem as me (not too lucky combination of Mac OS, Nokia N8, iTunes and Apple Lossless files ).

Paragon NTFS for MAC vs HFS for Windows?

Hey fellas!
Which of these 2 would you say it makes more sense to have in a bootcamp environment with a drive exclusively for data storage:
NTFS for MAC or HFS for Windows?
My setup is drive 1 for both OSs, MAC and WINDOWS, and drive 2 would be then formatted in HFS or NTFS, for putting files and data which I'd use CONSTANTLY to share between the 2 OSs.
What do you think?

Actually I really wanted to use exFat, but I'm afraid of the so-called lack of overall reliability (when compared to NTFS) and worse, the usual compatibility issues I've heard about between OSX and exFat. I'll be storing important files, work related stuff.
Do you know anything about that?
Otherwise I think I'll go with NTFS...

Transferring iTunes for Mac to iTunes for Windows

My son currently uses iTunes for Mac to store all his music he for his iPhone. His iTunes is on a PowerBook G4, running OS X 10.4.11, which he now finds can not be upgraded to Leopard or Snow Leopard which would give him the latest version of iTunes. He is now thinking of purchasing a PC laptop that will run the latest version of iTunes. BUT, all of his music is on his Mac PowerBook. Is there way to transfer his music on iTunes for Mac to iTunes for Windows?

Chris,
Thank you for responding. I only went by what my son said. I will check out Leopard's system requirements. Do you know if music stored on iTunes for Mac can be transferred to iTunes for Windows. If so,what I do to transfer the music?

In my newly purchased MacBook Air, Dropbox does not function properly. It asks for Mac OS Password for my computer which I do not have.

In my newly purchased MacBook Air, Dropbox does not function properly (it shows MS Word, Excell and Power Point docs but not pictures). It asks for Mac OS Password for my computer which I do not have. How should I get this password ?

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

Missing artwork for songs still on iPhone 4s after deleting those songs from my mac

When I delete songs from iTunes on my mac, the next time I plug in my iphone 4s (for a manual sync) my iphone loses all the album artwork for any songs no longer on my mac (that are still on my phone). How do I stop this from happening and restore artwork to my iphone without having to manually reapply the artwork to each song?
My best guess is that iTunes is syncing the song information/tags on my iphone to match the information/tags on my macbook each time I sync. Whatever the reason, I should be able to import CDs, transfer them to my iphone (with artwork), delete the files from my computer (leaving them only on my iphone) and not have problems losing the artwork from my phone. If it was there in the first place, it should stay there. Help?

I had same problem and took half a day to figure it out... I tried everything i could think or read here and nothing worked. So i decide to restore my iPhone 4S and configure it as a new one. But before, i did some copy/paste of my photos/video folders from Windows Explorer then i've select all then tried to delete it from windows explorer..after few deleted i got a message saying that the device wasnt responding or was unpluged. But wasnt.
some files was not deletable. And in my iPhone the pictures wasnt there too but files was listed in windows explorer....
So, i did a Photos sync but choosing the Windows Sample folder only. It wiped out all my photos folder and did new one, then all my songs were synced again and all is back and playable.
I suggest, look if you have photos, videos, apps that isnt working or not deletable.. then wipe it out by an iTunes sync (unselecting sync those things or sync completely different apps or folder)
It worked for me... Hope you get it fixed too.

Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac - missing options

Hello!
I've got some trouble with Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac:
I realized that there are some options missing in the menu bars, such as "Insert > Cross-reference", etc.
Today I reinstalled the whole thing including all updates (11.3.7). No success.
However I noticed that on my admin account the options are existent but still not on my "everyday account".
Therefore my question:
How can I remove user specific preferences for Office? I guess this might solve my problem.
Thanks to anyone who has some hints for me!

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on compatibility issues between Macs and Windows.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

Office for mac not working for all users after migration

Recently purchased macbook retina display and used migration assistant to move everything over from a macbook pro 17" (late 2011). After the migration my login (admin rights) has no problem on the new macbook, but my wife login cannot use the Office for Mac without being asked to do an install.
Problem is, the version we have goes through the install and then asks to 'register' the product and the version is no longer supported so you cannot register, therefor the program will not run.
Am I missing something here? Everything still works on both of our sign in's on the old macbook pro, and on the new macbook retina, office works on my sign in only.
The original install was a download version, so there are no 'disks' to do a re-install.
Any suggestions?

You need Acrobat 7.1
Is your Office 2004 up to date?

Captivate 6 for Mac too buggy for use (screen corruption, mouse/audio instability)

Corrupt Screens. The main problem is corrupt screens (visually jumbled, with elements of previous screens). The corrupt screens appear in both Preview in a Web Browser and in a published project. I've observed the problem when I capture website interactions (using either Safari or Firefox). It might be isolated to web browsers and not other applications, but I'm not sure. The project slides themselves look fine. The problem occurs during the transition to an HTML/SWF-based preview or published file.
Unfortunately the problem appears to be intermittent and unpredictable: one Preview (in Web Browser) might show one corrupt screen; a subsequent Preview (in Web Browser) might show four corrupt screens (after making no changes to the Captivate file). It appears to be related to various timeline factors (mouse position, mouse duration). I was able to temporarily eliminate the problem in one project file by making sure all mouse elements had a 2/10th second gap before the end of the slide and were no longer than 2 seconds long. But in a later test, controlling for these variables did not work.
There are two other related bugs that occur in Preview or publish:
Mouse. If I move the mouse object from its original position on the timeline, say, from the end of the slide to a position just before, and then move it back to the end of the slide, the result is faulty mouse behavior. It moves very slowly over the first part of its arc, then either skips suddenly to the destination or doesn't complete the arc at all when the slide advances to the next slide.
Audio. Sometimes the audio for a single slide will not play. This is intermittent and unpredictable, like the screen corruption bug. The problem sometimes goes away after moving the mouse on the timeline slightly, but this isn't reliable.
In any case, moving the mouse away from the end of the slide is not a desirable workaround, even when it does work. The delay between the "click" and the slide transition looks sloppy, and is contrary to the expected mouse behavior (to quickly trigger a slide transition).
I have been working with two people at Adobe tech support, but we have not found a solution or isolated the problem. I've also documented several keystroke bugs on this forum. So, after nearly 3 weeks of aggravation, I have concluded that Captivate 6 for Mac has serious bugs and is not reliable. I am forced to go back to Captivate 5.5.

I have experienced the exact same issues. I've republished files over and over again with unpredictable results. Missing audio, ghost backgrounds, visual artifacts. That doesn't even begin to address the other major annoyances like the stage jumping around when you do things like adjust element properties, audio editor opening up half off the screen so that it has to be manually dragged back EACH TIME.
I'm totally frustrated and disgusted with the quality of this product. I don't care one bit about all the new features it has, I just want the featues that are there to work right and work reliably. Today alone, I lost over 4 hours of productivity to resolving buggy software issues... I'm not exaggerating, 4 HOURS !. This is absolutely unacceptable. The software does NOT work well at all. Adobe should be horrified with how bad this software performs. I can't say enough negative things about this without using expletives that are well deserved.
After purchssing adobe software for 25 years, I am running out of patience. They are too big and too focused on new features instead of just making the ones they have work well. I used to love Adobe more than any other software company. That is definitely no longer the case. I have no intention of up doing any more upgrades after this. If these APPALLING blatant issues are not resolved before they release version 7, I will not upgrade and may well consider enlisting others in a class action suit. Fire all the developers who have a hand in this. Fire all the managers who signed off on it's readiness. Go back to the drawing board and make this right.
I fully intend on posting this in every forum I can find. This software has cost me too much time and money.

DM for Mac device updates for Pearl 8130

hello!
i discovered the DM for mac today when searching for ways to update the device software on my pearl 8130. i downloaded it and have had no trouble backing up or synching, but am supremely frustrated with the device update process.
i am currently running 4.3.0.97 and the core apps and system software are in the 4.5 range. when i select these updates and attempt to run them -- regardless of whether i choose to include system or third-party app backups in the process -- everything's cool until the DM says it's "Loading OS..."
my pearl reboots itself every time i get to this point, which causes a "DM cannot connect to your device. Reconnect and try again" message from the DM. i've taken out the battery, rebooted the DM -- nothing is working.
does anyone know why this auto-reboot is happening and what i can do about it? alternatively, does anyone know how i can download system updates WITHOUT DM, but still using a mac?
thanks!

I had the same problem and gave up. I did my updates using the Windows XP version of DM using Bootcamp on the mac to launch XP. I tried XP via Parallels first but it seemed to have issues with XP seeing the 8130 via USB. I didn't bother troubleshooting and went straight to Bootcamp and running the MAC as an XP only machine.
Hopefully with everything updated I can use the Mac DM alone but I'm having problems and starting to regret I didn't stick with Missing Sync until MAC DM is more mature.

Adobe elements for Mac and CS5 for Mac

Hi, I have two full licenses for photoshop, one for elements and one for CS5. Would it be possible for me to swap the Elements 8 (mac version) for Elements 8 for PC. I want to teach my son to use Elements for his college work, while he has a PC and I have a mac. I bought the Elements for a course that only used Elements but quickly as I moved on I had to use full CS5. I can't remember if I used the elements serial number to upgrade to CS5, where I should have CS4 serial number.

Hi,
As per adobe policy on cross platform swap : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html.
"You can swap only current versions. If you have a previous version, you cannot swap to a different platform or language of the previous version--instead, it's necessary to upgrade."

Differences between CC for Mac and CC for Windows

Hello,
I just read here in the forum that possibilities regarding app-making in InDesign are limited when you are a Windows user. Seems like the "Create App"-possibility is for mac users only. Terry White made a very good video about app-making, but failed to mention that you needed not only CC (or CS6), but also a Mac.
Be that as it may, I would like to know if there is a list somewhere, describing in detail the differences between possibilities and options on CC for Windows compared to CC on a Mac.
And - if there is no list, can anyone tell me the differences?
Regards,
MikHva

Thanks for the answer. I can see that I messed up formulating the last entry - what we are about to do is upgrade from CS6 to CC.
Maybe you could help me with a related question. The last few days I have been searching for alternatives to builing my apps in InDesign, and I turned to Dreamweaver. I copied the CSS from InDesign to dreamweaver, fixed the content and made my app work through my 1 phonegap build-project (the InDesign version looked better, though) - but getting on fra Dreamweaver to Android and iOS involves Phonegap.
I can see that Adobe has developed the Adobe Phonegap Build. Is that a program (app) that I can acces after subscribing to the Creative Cloud? A friend of mine has the CC-version and I asked if she had acces to install Adobe Phonegap Build, but it was not on her list of programs to install.
- As things look right now we might be going for a Pro or Enterprise version - but I haven't figured out the difference between the two yet - I've been busy with Dreamweaver.
Sincerely and with thanks,
MikHva

Office for Mac and Office for Windows XP compatibility issues?

Trying to convince a family member to make the Mac switch. She uses Office for Windows XP at work but might use Office for Mac at home. Will there be an compatibiity issues with the programs? She is a heavy Excel user and takes a lot of work home. If she has to rearrange cells and fonts and such each and every, it would drive her (and the rest of us) insane.
Any advice would be most welcome.
She is looking into either a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro. Putting Windows on the Mac is not really an option for us.
Thanks Community!

Or I could just download the trial version and see how that works.

Thanks for putting me in the right direction, anyway!

Office for Mac 2011: Tips for speeding up Word when using tracked changes and comments?

I run a fresh installation of Office for Mac 2011 (v. 14.4.1) on a brand new Macbook Pro 13" Retina 2.4GHz with 16GB RAM running 10.9.2. The Office package is fully up-to-date.
I mainly use Word and find that it is extremely slow when I track changes. Documents need not be particularly large - even in a 30-page document after a few pages of tracks typing becomes a pain, in particular in comment bubbles where the text shows up letter-by-letter and only finish several seconds after I've stopped typing. Other programs run at the same time do not suffer from this horrible lag.
I have searched and seen that this is not uncommon so it appears that Microsoft's coders are not particularly well versed in coding for Mac.
My question is if other users have found ways to improve the situation, for instance by trashing plists or something like that? This is really driving me crazy
Many TIA

Outlook 2011 for MAC keeps asking for password

Outlook for MAC 2011 keeps asking me for google password. It wont accept what i put in. The password is correct along with name because it works when I enter it in google. I recently updated password.
Need help in fixing or finding problem.
Error message: Mail could not be received at this time.
The server for account Gmail returned the error (authentification failed) invalid credentials.
Failure: You username/password or security settings may be incorrect.
But they are correct as I can logon to Google without problem.
Could it have anything to due with two stage security in google?
Nick

Hi Steve,
Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in.
I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.
