PCs and Macs on Team: Need Cross Platform Database (e.g. FMP or Acess)

I use FileMaker Pro and my team uses Microsoft Access. I am looking for a solution, maybe a SaaS, to avoid having to buy additional software to meet our marketing and sales needs. What ideas would you suggest?

Here are a couple of scripts that may come in handy to you: Update path names in links and Restore broken links after server migration in Indesign.

Hi Pandora,
You can install one single license of a Creative Cloud on upto 2 machines. CC is a platform independent product so you can use it on both Windows & Mac but make sure that you are not using it at the same time.

Lightroom
Open Lightroom Preferences. In the panel labeled Presets click on the button labeled 'Show Lightroom Preset Folder...' An OS window will open containing multiple folders. The Lightroom Presets folder should be highlighted. You can copy this entire folder, the subfolders within it or individual templates/presets from the PC to Mac or vice versa
With Photoshop CC it's possible to Sync a sub set of your settings across the Creative Cloud. However, you'll need to set up the CC account. Sync settings can be found under the Photoshop menu on Mac and Edit menu on Windows.
With Photoshop CS6 you'd be best asking the question on Photoshop forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop

I want to perform the following steps as quickly as possible.
1. Create a cross-platform .iso
2. Mount the cross-platform .iso as read-only
3. Unmount the cross-platform .iso
4. Finally, burn the cross-platform read-only .iso to CD-R media
I need someone to give me an example and step-by-step instructions by using the hdiutil command in Mac Terminal.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

1. Create a cross-platform .iso
hdiutil makehybrd -o image-file source-directory -iso -iso-volume-name volume-name
2. Mount the cross-platform .iso as read-only
hdiutil attach image-file
3. Unmount the cross-platform .iso
hdiutil detach /Volumes/volume-name
4. Finally, burn the cross-platform read-only .iso to CD-R media
hdiutil burn image-file

Link problem between PCs and Macs

Hello. We have 3 Macs running OSX 10.5.x and Adobe Std CS5, and they share their Illustrator creations, images, etc., on a NAS file server. Recently, I downloaded the CS5.5. trial version for a PC running Windows XP Pro and on the same network with same file access and security. All machines use CIFS to access files.
PC user will create an Illustrator file in one of these shared folders on the NAS and link in images from another shared folder on the NAS and save it. When a Mac user opens the Illustrator file, however, none of the links are valid so the Mac user has to re-link those images and re-save the file. What change(s) do I need to make on the PC-side to stop this problem? Does the PC need to be on CS5, too?

Thanks to both of you for your help. We found out that the PC and Mac show the absolute path slightly differently when connecting to our NAS. However, if we create an ai file with linked images on the PC, save it, and then open it in the Mac, even though the links are off we can fix all of them if we simply re-link one image and then "Ignore" the rest of the pop-up error messages. There are less (or no) link issues if the images are in the same folder as the ai file, but that kind of defeats the advantage of linking over embedding. We need to have one central images folder since the same image can be used many times over. Is there any way to force Illustrator to use relative paths instead of absolut paths? For example, if I have a share name "Sales" and three folder within: "Images", "ABC company" and "DEF company", can the ai files I create in ABC company contain links like, "..\Images\image01.eps" instead of something like \\NAS2\Sales\Images\image01.eps? Would be nice if Adobe Illustrator had a preference setting of something like "Default location of ai files" where I can set it to, \\NAS2\Sales\, and then any documents I create would use that setting as a link starting point.

Migrating Cross-Platform Database ???

Hi Expert !!
We have a requirement to move huge database from HP to AIX. The database size is big so we cannot opt exp/imp. The only option left is Transport Tablespace.
I did search on net and in oracle documentation for a sample example (moving entire database) but couldn't find one. Could any one please forward a link which discusses this in detail?
Also to note is that, we have a Data Guard configuration in place for this database. How do we move both Primary and Physical Standby from HP to AIX?
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Regards

You could check this document,

Cross-Platform Oracle Database Migration Using Transportable Tablespaces
Since you are moving from HP to AIX, endianess seems not a concern, but you still need to make sure tablespaces are self-contained,

External hard drives and mac/windows compatibility - Need Help pls

I have an external Harddiskdrive with 200 GB formatted in HFS+ with my Mac.
And here's my Problem:
A friend of me would have some of the MP3's on this HDD, but he is a PC user with Windows XP. So he could not see the drive in his Workspace.
Is there a way without buy MacDrive or something like that?
Or is there a App like MacDrive as Freeware or OpenSource???
What is with the "DOS" - format (FAT32)? Can I use this without an afraid of losing my Data on this Drive???

"am getting this error message on my Mac:
SMART status not supported"
This is not an error. SMART status reports of hard drives are not passed through the chipsets of external enclosures.
"What is this FAT program and how do I make it work? "
FAT is not a program. IT's the format in which the drive is fomatted.
In the future, please start a new question about your issues, so as to not "thread-jack" and existing discussion. YOu'll recieve more repsonses if do so as well, rather than burying your question deep inside someone elses topic/issues.

A way to share AND EDIT ical calanders online with different pcs and macs?

I have a .mac account which i can use to publish calanders online and for collegues to view.
However, I would really like to find a way for those collegues to not only view my calander, but add to it as and when from different locations.
Some have PC,s and some macs.
your suggestions and advice will be much appreciated.

I'm not sure about Spanning Sync but I know that with BusySync you can sync different Google accounts to your iCal. Therefore, as long as the calendar you want to sync with is a google calendar (or a colleague with a google account) it will work out fine.
The best way to do this is by syncing google calendars with each other through subscribing to your colleagues calendar. Then individually you both sync those calendars to iCal via whichever of the above programs you prefer.

I cannot get my iPhone and iPad to reflect a cross platform on messages

I have a iPad mini (2013 - November - iOS7.1.1) and an iPhone (3) with iOS7.1.1
My iPad and iPhone do not sync in Messages only.
I've turned off/on both products. I have followed as much as possible the recommendations on APPLE to set up the sync. iPad shows (in iCloud - iMessage only).

A good cross platform database

Hey all,
I am needing to use a database in a program and i have been using a ms access database for now but am irratated with the odbc thing and a text file is horrible so i am wondering if there is some java based, prefrebly free database which can be used on many different systems.

MySQL? (http://www.mysql.com)
PostgreSQL? (http://www.postgresql.org/)
Firebird? (http://firebird.sourceforge.net/)
All great dbservers that have more than adequate JDBC drivers. Firebird seems to be the more popular dbms with stored procedure support, but since you were using Access, MySQL should be more than enough for you and it's easy to setup.

Cs2 cross platform upgrade

Hi there, I own cs2 and finally bought a mac and would like to upgrade, cross platform. I understand that I cannot upgrade past cs5, which is fine with me. But I can't figure out how to find cs5, help!
Thanks so much,
Beth

CS5 is no longer sold by Adobe. They only sell the current version CS6.
Your remaining option for upgrading is to find a secondhand copy. Just beware of buying secondhand software due to rampant piracy and ubiquitous invalid serial numbers.

Which Mac suits my needs: MacBook Pro 15-inch, iMac 21-inch or iMac 27-inch?

I am looking to switch from a PC desktop.
I like the MacBook Pro 15-inch because of the medium-sized screen and the optional anti-glare display.
But, I like the iMac 21-inch because I have used a 21-inch running Snow Leopard (mostly for iMovie) and loved it. Also, portability is not a big concern although I would appreciate it.
The only reason I consider the 27-inch is because of the high specs. I love iMovie '11 and I am considering using that a lot and also playing games on the Mac.
I keep jumping between the MacBook Pro and the iMac. However, I can only recall the reasons I jump to the MacBook Pro from the iMac.
1: I can use it on an airplane and around the house.
2: If I had a MBP, I would not need a desk (which would create more space)
3: If I want to film and then edit the video in iMovie soon afterwards, a MBP would be much better.
The only thing I have never liked about notebooks is that in Google Maps I cannot use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out.

I think your advice on making a final decision on whether or not I want portability is very good. Thank you.
I would usually use the Mac for general use, but as I said, I am starting to get into video editing so it would be good to have that work well.
It depends. I only play three games on my PC. One of them has a weird disc so it can be played on PCs and Macs. That game's modifications are also not important to me.
The second game is an online download game which there is an OSX version of. That game's mods should not be a problem.
Now, the third game is what causes problems in this situation. I have many modifications and a multiplayer client currently installed for the third game. The third game is available for OSX but only through the Mac App Store, which makes me suspicious that I won't be able to mod the third game. But, I think it will be fine if I install a Windows partition with BootCamp to play it.
About what you said on deciding whether or not I want portability, I will have a think about that.
Thank you.

Difference between Mac Pro and Mac XServer

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is any difference between Mac Pro and the Mac XServer - at the OS level? Meaning, if I design an application on Mac Pro would it run seamlessly on XServer or do I need to care about a few things.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server are presently at the Tiger 10.4.10 release, with Mac OS X Server having various added pieces and features, and having a few structural and configuration differences.
* Do both of them support the ipv6 protocol
Yes; both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server both offer IPv6.
* do both of them support LDAP and PAM based authentication
Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server have LDAP support, yes. Mac OS X Server has LDAP authentication, DNS and a variety of other servers built in. Mac OS X is configured as a client, though there is the Apache web server.
Haven't looked for PAM for either platform.
* Do both of them support the same level of Java ( I understand we need 1.5 or higher for Tiger / Leapord)
Java itself is the same on both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server, though Mac OS X Server has server-oriented pieces of Java present. And it's still write once, debug everywhere.
No Leopard questions are permissible here at this time; Leopard details are NDA.
* Do the compilers (gcc) have different compilation options - maybe xServer uses some better optimized flags that handle large volumes of data and network traffic.
AFAIK, there are no differences in gcc defaults. Nor would I expect any. Handling volumes of data is left to the programmer. (I'm not even sure how a compiler author would even implement that sort of difference.)
* Is there any difference in the behavior of the way the libraries ...
I'd expect the exact same behavior the programmer requested would occur with both platforms.
Now as for what I expect is the root of your question, yes, you'll likely want to test your application on both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server software platforms. There can exist very hard to predict details such as cases where dual NICs or the aforementioned directory differences that have tossed a few applications off the rails and into the weeds; have caused applications to fail.
You can choose to install Mac OS X Server on a Mac Pro. Probably the 10-client, because you probably aren't planning to serve piles of clients from the Mac Pro.
An overview of Mac OS X Server is here:
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html
Now as to whether or not I would expect run-time differences, no. But I've been at this way too long and have chased way to many weird bugs to make any promises here.

Laggy Published .exe file on Netbook and Mac...

Greetings Fellow Captivate Users,
I am having the issue of when I publish my Captivate 5.5 project to an .exe file and test it on virtually any netbook PC the presentation is laggy/slow...meaning all animations are 1/2-1 second slower than normal and audio responses (audio files triggered by click boxes) and click boxes are slow to respond as well. Also, my published app file for Macs presents the same identical laggy problem as experienced on netbook PCs.
My eLearning project has the following specs:
- running full version of Captivate 5.5
- 190 slides with photos (jpgs - each jpg roughly under 10k) and audio files (see below). Each slide is roughly 3 seconds long and pauses waiting for user interaction "click to continue"
- I tried breaking up the project and making the project smaller with less slides so it is well under the 16,000 recommended amount of frames for Flash movies and this laggy problem still occurs on both netbooks and Macs
- the laggy .exe problem DOES NOT occur on mid-range/modern Laptop PCs or Desktop PCs
- audio files are passive and only triggered via click boxes (triggered after user clicks on picture, click boxes are layered on top of pictures),
- I am saving my Captivate 5.5 files locally on my own computer, as well as all my assets for my projects are saved locally
- I am NOT using a network drive for saving any files or assets
- Quiz Reporting is TURNED OFF in preferences and for all slides, buttons, click boxes, etc.
- I have found no looping occurences/Actions in my projects
- the published .swf file (for viewing the project in a browser) works perfectly on all PCs, netbook PCs, and Macs
UPDATE --- I should also note that I updated the Flash Players on all the Netbooks and Macs that I am testing my project on to the latest Flash Player version: 11.x    and I am still getting laggy/slow presentation issues.
My PC specs:
- Windows 7 SP1
- Intel Core i5 M460 @ 2.53 GHz
- 4GB RAM
- 64 Bit PC
- 248GB Free out of 500GB
If anyone else has experienced this same issue, knows why this is occuring, or can guide me on what settings to possibly change to remedy this issue, I would be grateful. Also, if you need more specs on my project please let me know. Many Thanks!
