Pixel Value Change Windows to Mac

If I make a test animation with boxes of greys of different values ... the values on Windows are different than on a Mac. Both After Effects are in 8bpc mode, with Color Management set to Off. Whites are white and blacks are black but the middle values are whacked. I know there are perceptual gamma differences between Macs and Windows but shouldn't a 50% grey pixel be a 50% grey pixel no matter what, regardless of how it's being displayed?
I used the Animation codec at 100% for my test.

I've never seen this before. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

I had legaly bought Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0) DVS/A, PHSP, WIN, GEN, MUL,CZ/HU/PL/RO. Its be possible can I change license from Windows to Mac OS X. Because i was change Computers. Old windows computer was burn processor and I was bought Apple Macbook Pro. And i can now use that photoshop. I dont want use WMvare,Oracle virtual box or other.

It's no good arguing with us, we don't make the rules and don't work for Adobe.
In general when you change between Windows and Mac you should budget for re-buying all software, though you can be lucky with some.

How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number. If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

Time changes when switching from Windows to Mac, vice versa

Hi,
I am using Bootcamp to run Windows XP SP2 on my macbook. When ever I switch from one to the other (mac to windows, vice versa) my time will always be incorrect. I have to restart the computer everytime to switch, but when ever I just reset and load into the same OS as before, my time is fine. Anyone know what is wrong? It's really annoying to have to change the time or think its a certain time and it being wrong.

Everyone gets that problem. Evidently Windows and Mac use a different reference point for the time, I think one uses Greenwich and the other local. On the Mac side you can go to System Prefs->Date & Time, and see if checking the box to "Set date & time automatically" fixes the problem.

I have the Adobe Suite 5.5 for Windows. I have recently changed to a Mac. Can I get 5.5 for Mac?

I have the Adobe Suite 5.5 for Windows. I have recently changed to a Mac. Can I get 5.5 for Mac? I have plugins that I would like to keep in their current form.

burnttimber,
I am afraid the only (legal) way is to buy it second hand with a licence transfer through Adobe, from someone that has not used CS5.5 for any kind of upgrading (including a discount on CC).

Mac OS X changes windows share's links in word document

My client is having a problem with MacBook Air and samba files that are hyperlinked to MS Office Word document.
The problem is that if the client opens the document in Mac Office Word and the document has hyperlinks in it made in Windows then Mac Office changes the links and adds Volumes to the link. So once the client saves it and the file is opened in Windows office again the links do not work for anyone.
I tried to use the program called WinShortCutter but it did not work in my MacBook Pro or my clients Air.
Seems like the Mac Office does not support plugins.
The links are copied from server. One example: \\server\folder\folder2\file.xls
Mac Office changes those links to \\server\folder\volumes\folder2\file.xls
So my question: Is there a way I could change Mac Office so it does not add volumes in the hyperlinks.

Hi Kobus Bensch,
I'm sorry I am not able to help with your questions about sharing from your Mac to the server but wanted to suggest that you post back the exact Mac OS version you are using. Your specs below your post suggest 10.0.x which was barely a beta version of Mac OS X. This will surely help those who are seeing your topic and trying to help.
To find the version you can simply click on the blue Apple in your top menu bar and select About This Mac.
good luck,

How do you change the format from Windows to Mac

Does anyone know how to change the format from Windows to Mac? When I first bought my iPod I had windows but now would like to change this. Also is anyone aware why some tracks pause for 2 seconds and then carries on.

Restore the iPod in iTunes for Mac. Restoring will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive, reload the software with the Mac version and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to sync using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

Changing my 3G iPod from Windows to Mac

My 3G iPod is no longer recognized by my Windows XP machine at work and I want to change it over to my G5 iMac at home. Neither Windows nor Mac will read the iPod in disk mode and both offer to format/initialize the drive. Do I start by initializing the iPod HD over to Mac format and go from there to restore the iPod?
thanks for any help

Keep in mind that formatting as a Mac iPod you will not be able to add songs to it from your pc. The only thing you'll be able to do on your Windows XP machine at work is charge it.

I have just bought a mac and also have windows installed but how do i change from windows into mac?

I have just bought a mac and need to know how to change from using windows into Mac. When the mac starts up windows come up but i want to use Mac?

To set the default boot volume use the Startup Manager system preferences once you are booted back into the OSX. Then you would only need the option key at boot time to boot into the "other" OS.
