Pc to mac (not cds)

how do i change my ipod format from windows to mac?
Connect it to the Mac, open iTunes and select Restore.
But you don't have to format it for Mac. You can continue to use it on your Mac if it is formatted for Windows.
how would i transfer my library from my pc to my mac?
BEFORE you Restore it on the Mac (since Windows cannot read a Mac formatted iPod) do this -> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61131

  • How can i open my iBook on my Mac, not just on my iPhone

    Hi,
    how can i open my iBook on my Mac, not just on my iPhone?  I ask this questions in hopes that I can eventually find a way to have the iPhone read a non "Enhanced" iBook to me.
    I used the Accessibility reader for a brief time but it's very persinickety.  Move the phone a tiny bit and it threw me out from page 70 and back to page 48.  Changing pages when you are in Accessibility is excruciating. Now, I cannot get back there at all.
    I downloaded 2 apps that claim they can read to me but the closest I can get in the instructions says I need to open the iBook from my Mac computer with my iPhone connected and then I will be able to open the iBook in the app called "Read text to me".  Only when I go to open the book on my Mac it says "This book can’t be viewed using this computer. You can view this book using iBooks on your iOS device."
    Thank god, I only have a brain tumor and am not yet completely blind.
    I've been to the Apple store twice, checked out a youtube page with all it's comments and I am still nowhere, over the course of a week.
    Can anybody help me?
    thank you,
    Ellen

    You cannot.
    Ibooks are only for iphone/ipod touch/ipad
    So, there are no third party readers/emulators in Mac OS X and Windows to read them from iTunes? I don't even own an iOS device. I just redeemed Action Comics' Superman #1 from Starbucks and iTunes.
    This one?
    Where the REQUIREMENTS spell out that an iOS device is needed to read it?

  • My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
    If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
    If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

  • Ipod works in Mac not in PC

    Device: Latest generation of Ipod Nano. FAT32 formatted for windows.
    Problem: Does not work in Windows XP PC.
    Analysis: Upon insertion into the PC the ipod randomly disconnects and shows the 'you may safely disconnect' screen. This usually happens about 2 seconds after insertion. It will disconnect and reconnect every 3-5 seconds...
    Further: It is not a fault with the cable. It is not a fault with the USB port on the PC. WORKS IN MY MAC, not in PC.
    Any suggestions?

    If your PC is a desktop, connect it to a rear port on the PC, connect your keyboard and mouse, disconnect all other USB devices and disconnect from any other network you are on:
    You may also have to update or reload the USB Root Driver:

  • How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network?

    How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network? Thanks

    You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

  • I opened and edited a pic from my Olympus camera onto my mac (not in iPhoto).  I zoomed in

    I opened and edited a pic from my Olympus camera onto my mac (not in iPhoto).  I zoomed in and rotated the pictures and when I tried to click out of them, I got a message that the file was locked because I hadn't used it recently and "If you want to make changes to this document, click Unlock. To keep the file unchanged and work with a copy, click Duplicate."  I clicked "unlock" and then another message came up with the options of OK, Cancel, or Revert.  If I hit OK, I couldn't go back to my original picture.  I clicked OK. 
    Then later I tried to open the picture in iPhoto and it doesn't recognize it, even though it is still a JPEG file.  It still shows on my camera, but shows as a bland square in iPhoto.  Have I lost the ability to open it in iPhoto?  Will I be able to go to a store and print it out from my camera?

    No one can answer that since you only provide problems and questions
    we need to know exactly what you have, what you did and what happened including exact error messages

    What software did you use and exactly what did you do and what exactly was the  error message? There is a good chance that you will need help for the support for the program you used. Where was the photos you were editing not using iPHoto?

    What version of iPhoto  Had you imported the photo into iPhoto - iPhoto is not a photo viewer and can not open photos that have not been imported
    as to how your camera and the store work - those are qestions for them -

  • How come my notes on outlook for office Mac not syncing to iPad 2

    Hi folk,
    I am a bit curious as to why when I created notes within outlook 2011 ( office Mac 2011) I don't see them on my iPad device?
    On my iPad/cloud services/ notes sync is on
    Also under settings/ notes "iCloud" is checked
    What am I missing here ?
    Thanks in advance...
    Rich

    First, keep in mind that Notes in Outlook is not the same as the Notes in Mountain Lion (in terms of applications).
    Notes in Outlook sync with Exchange.  On the iMac, you can sync the Notes app with Exchange, so you will see your Outlook notes in the Mac Notes App (in addition to any iCloud notes you have).  To set that up, go to Settings, Mail Contacts Calendars, and select your Exchange account.  Check the box next to Notes.  Now if you go into the Mac Notes app, you will see you have two Accounts, an iCloud account and your Exchange account, each showing the respective notes.
    Now, on the iPad, things are a bit different at present.  Here, you can only sync your iCloud notes.  Under iOS 5, it is not possible to sync notes from Exchange anymore.  Hopefully this will be addressed in iOS 6 coming out this Fall.
    One workaround I've used for the omission of syncing Notes from Exchange on the iPad is to instead turn them into Tasks in Outlook.  Under ML and Exchange, Reminders syncs with Tasks in Outlook, so you will be able to see those Tasks in the Reminders App on both your iMac/ML and your iPad.

  • Search / Find problem with Mac Notes

    The 'command f' function is greyed out on my new version of 'Mac Notes' that comes with Lion. As per the image below. why can't i use that 'Find' function?
    There is another search function in Notes
    but this just does a broad brush search to see if any of my notes contain a word and identifes the title of the notes but it doesn't identify where the words are within the note. i have some notes with thousands of words so this isn't very helpful.
    does anyone know how i can use the traditional 'Find' function in Notes? or perhaps some free software that i can use instead of notes?
    why they changed it i don't know? i've been using mac for 13 years and some things are just getting less useful and intuitive. 
    Thanks
    Shane

    I agree.   Still no resolution to this problem and the integration of icloud makes looking at alternatives less appealing.

    If the iPhone has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:

    Until that is done you will not be able to activate the device.

  • Do new macs not have a dvd drive

    I think my emac has died.  When. I switch it on i get a blue screen with a sign in to apple but the mouse does not work.  the only way I can switch it off is by the main wall socket.  It is a 2003 running ox10.4
    guess its time to bite the bullet and buy a new machine.  What to go for?  Do new macs not have dvd drives any more?

    I'd like to figure this out if you can bear with me. I'm retired too so have time to research Mac stuff when I'm not taking a power nap!
    There are two families of eMacs with two variants each; some have known issues. If you are up to it, please read this Apple article that lets you find your exact eMac variant by serial number:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2395
    Without posting your serial number here, post what model the article says you have.
    If the model returns as "eMac (USB 2.0)" that is a group with very bad logic board issues. Affected eMac USB 2.0 units tend to fall in these ranges of serial numbers:
    G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
    YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
    VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
    Your symptoms sound like it could be this model. Apple had a repair extension program to replace defective logic boards but it expired over two years ago. Today, the fix is not economically feasible.
    Guess I will have to go and look at PCs.
    Consider the 13-inch MacBook Pro I linked. I had a 15-incher that I bough about six years ago because I did not think anything smaller would work for my old eyeballs. However, in June I bought the 13-inch as a refurb directly from Apple for only about US$1000 and, as long as I remember to put on my computer glasses, I have no trouble with the smaller screen.
    Based of the lack of issues with that model reported in the MacBook Pro forums, it seems a reliable model. My son bought one for university as a refurb. I liked it a lot so bought mine in June.  A friend who had been using 1998-vintage Powerbooks until this year liked mine so much that he bought two. You can use them like a  desktop computer. When I'm not using mine away for home, I have a wireless keyboard and mouse set up for it so it's very much like a desktop until until I hit the road.

  • Will read DVDs but not CDs

    I have a satellite a305-s6872 that will read dvds but not cds.  It was reading cds the last time I tried (October) but now it's not.  This means that I can't play or burn cds.  It also means that I can't install any programs that come on a cd.  Please help!

    I have the same problem. It reads DVDs, and rejects CDs, even perfect/new CDs.
    Apple Support told me there will soon be a software update (in a week?) to fix this problem, but I am not convinced.

  • Office for Mac not working with 10.5.8

    I upgraded to Mac 10.5.8, but neither my 2004 Office for Mac not Acrobat 5.0 are functioning properly. Should I uninstall and reinstall or do I need to upgrade?

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

  • Identifying files on mac/not on mac

    I want to be able to identify all files my external hard drive that are not on my mac and partition these off in the external hard drive then use the other part of the partition to back up my mac with time machine.
    I know one option could be to use the label function to label files, on mac/not on mac but this would be awfully tedious – is there an easier way to search through all these files to identify which files are and are not are my mac?
    Also as hard drive space begins to fill up on my mac I would also want to be able to move some files off the mac into the “files not on mac” partition of the external hard drive in order to free up more space but still have backups of everything. How can I do this?

    Apple's built-in options are spotlight and a couple of terminal commands such as "locate", but nothing will scour two drives and compare files. With these you'd have to manually find a file and then search your main drive for the same file. There might be some third-party solutions, and you might try searching for "file compare" or some similar keywords at http://www.versiontracker.com to see what comes up. You might be able to set up something in Automator, but I'm not exactly sure how that'd be done. The spotlight searching using Automator is rather limited.
