Sound VI convert from PC to Mac

I don't really understand the help files for using a PC and creating a Mac complatible VI that will play sound files. I am a new to Labview 8.6 and I have created a VI to play sound files on a PC. Now I need it to work on a Mac and I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that. Could someone go into detail on how to do this?

I have not tried this in recent versions of LV, but in the past I usually had to change parameters like the sampling rate and stereo/mono, 8-bit/16-bit, ... The default values tend to be different but the VIs themselves work on both platforms. You can determine programmatically which OS you are using by a property node (I do not recall the property name at the moment) and use that to select a case with the appropriate values for the sound parameters.

How tedious is it to convert from windows to mac?

My windows (sony vaio running XP) is dying. Got the dreaded 3 beeps on start up today...so will be shopping for a new desktop soon.
I have an ipad and iphone that I've owned for about a year now...and I must say I REALLY like them. Have been contemplating going all mac....but EVERYTHING i do on my desktop is obviously windows based. My biggies are quicken....i have files that go back 10 years and all my excel docs. Has anyone recently made the jump from windows to mac...how hard is it really to convert everything over?

Millions have done what you are contemplating, most don't have any issues at all. I f you haven't already go to your local Apple Store and ask your questions and you will get honest replies, I did when I made the switch 7 years ago. I converted from Quicken to iBank which imported my Quicken data extremely easily. As for MS Office, simply get MS Office for Mac and you're set. It's compatible with the Windows version and opening files is the same across platforms.
I would also STRONGLY recommend you look at this Apple Mac Basics article:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/pctomac/
Also when you get a Mac and turn it on for the first time, one the steps it has is asking if you are migrating from a PC to the Mac. Simply choose yes and follow the on-screen prompts and you're set. You can also Google Migration Assistant for Windows for more detailed info if you want.

Converting from PC to MAC

Hi:
I currently operate on a PC and use Adobe Photoshop CS4. I understand that if I move to a MAC I would have to use Adobe Elements 8.
Will I be able to easily move all my files over from the PC to the MAC despite the assumed difference in the programs? Any help is greatly appreciated.

First, why do you think you must use Elements because you are changing to a Mac? There is a PsCS4 for Mac and I'm not aware of any major differences between it and the Windows version. So I guess my question is, why Elements? While you may consider going from PC to Mac an upgrade, going from PsCS4 to Elements is certainly a step the other way. Just my opinion.

Loss of sound when converting from MPEG1 to DV

Is it possible to import sound and video into FCP 5 from a MPEG 1 movie accidentally recorded on the memory stick in my digital camcorder. The video transfers well as .mov but I can't get any sound to transfer. It works perfectly as a file on the desktop played through the Quicktime Player but the file loses the sound when imported into FCP5. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

most likely you need to demux the file (untangle the audio and video). MPEG Streamclip is a good way to go to do this.
Export as a Quicktime DV-NTSC or DV-PAL (depending on your part of the world) and all should be good.

Converting from Tape to Mac

I want to edit some tapes from my Sony Handycam DCR-IP7E in iMovie but it cannot detect the camera. Is there any way that I can get the files onto the Mac so I can edit in iMovie?

I have the correct cable it just does not recognise the camera.
As Daniel pointed out: Your camera is NOT compatible with iMovie. Take it back or sell it.
Is there another way to import the tapes?
Sort of. There are two methods:
A: Using a sample application from Apple's Firewire SDK, you can get the MPEG-2 files off the camera and onto the hard drive. Then you can use MPEG Streamclip with Apple's MPEG-2 QT playback plug-in to convert to DV, which you can import to iMovie.
B: Have your camera act as an analog VHS VCR:

Converting from Windows to MAC

So I am moving everthing from my windows environment to my new MAC environment.....
I was using a windows home server to to house all my music files, the PC with iTunes had a mapped drive to the folder with the music files.
on the advice from the genuis at my local apple store I copied all the music files to a USB hard drive, then connected the USB drive to the MAC and copied all the files into the music folder on my MAC
When open iTunes it does not show the files or folders and I can't find the "import" command on the new iTunes. If I search for a song or artist it does find it and I can manually add it to the library from the search box. I am not intersted in clicking on 3500 songs to manually add them all.
Thoughts, advice, comments?
Every thing I have used so far with Apple just works and I love that, so I know there is a way to do this without driving back down to the genius bar and asking them.
Thanks in advance

This article may help.

The genius guy was almost right but you need to select the folder above to copy ie the iTunes folder
There are some other preparatory steps in there to.

Should I go convert from WinXP to Mac Leopard ?

I have not used Mac Leopard before and not sure if it is easy to use ? I have tried watching the video but the video is only showing off some amazing features of Leopard but I am still not sure on the filesystem etc. I am used to Unix command as compare to DOS command and am not sure whether it has a command prompt program (for running unix) just like what WinXP does ? Thanks.

I wanted to escape from Microsoft for years before I finally bought a MacBook Pro about 1 1/2 years ago. Though I loved it in general, I was shocked to discover that I had to mess around with all that command line/terminal stuff in order to set up PHP and MySQL (which I never completely resolved). I thought the whole point of using a Mac was user friendliness. I actually found PHP and MySQL easier to set up and tweak on my PC than on my Mac.
Still, I think Mac is better than Microsoft (even XP) overall, even after going through a nightmare install of Leopard. Now that Leopard's up and running, my computer seems to be operating better than ever, apparently with even fewer bugs than I had when I was running Tiger.
I'm thinking of purchasing a program called MAMP PRO, which automatically installs and configures Apache, PHP and MySQL. However, if you're familiar with Unix, then all this stuff is probably easy for you.

Can you help? Converting from PC to Mac for Design Standard CS6

Hello,
I have recently purchased a macbook pro and downloaded the files for Design Standard CS6, I install the application and then enter my product key which works however it says
"this product is valid but we could not find a qualifying product on this computer"

I didn't need any of these on my PC I just downloaded the application and used my code
Can anyone offer any advice here?
Thanks

From Windows to Mac, as a developer?

Greetings.
Seeing as I am moving away from 'hardcore gaming' and more into game development, I have played with the thought of selling my gaming pc and buy an imac. At our school, we have borrowed macbook pros, and while I think the mac in itself is really slow, it feels like ios is a very friendly designer operative system.
Is there anyone else here "in my shoes" who have converted from windows to mac? It might sound silly, but if I actually decide to go for it, I have to sell my current pc to afford an imac.The prices should be about the same, so that's not a problem. What's kind of scary is the big leap from being a native windows user.
Anyone here who might know a great deal about both? Would there be a direct + in using mac instead of windows?
I am using Unity and Photoshop, and there are no windows-exclusive software I am using.
Thanks in advance to anyone taking their time to answer.

I don't know what was wrong with your borrowed MacBook Pro. Don't let a misconfigured school machine cloud your judgement.
But why an iMac? I suggest last year's Mac Mini. You could use it with your current monitor. You can also get a new MacBook Pro. My 13" 2011 is my primary machine. You just have to do your research before buying a new machine. Apple is going 110% into the consumer market. Make sure you don't buy a machine that is $100 cheaper but half the power. Double-check the memory. When Apple says the memory is "upgradeable", they mean you can pay double to upgrade it at time of purchase. After that, you are stuck with it.
The biggest plus to using a Mac is that it is a requirement for iOS.

There is no sound in converted for iPod movies

The problem is, and so I can't hear any sound after converting from any movie format to the iPod format using iTunes. Moreover, the new file has a .m4v type, and, as I understand, this type can't carry any sound(correct me if I'm wrong) like the simple .m4a and the combined mp4. Just want to know the decision

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

CONVERTING .WMA SOUND FILES TO MP3s ON A MAC

CONVERTING .WMA SOUND FILES TO
MP3s ON A MAC - Written 9/28/07
Here's some help on how to convert .WMA sound
files to MP3 sound files on a Mac. Hope it helps.
1. Open the .WMA sound file in Quicktime.
2. In the Quicktime menu tool bar, go to FILE and
select SAVE AS.
3. Save the .WMA sound file as a self-contained
movie .MOV file. Then create a folder on your desktop
to store the .MOV files that you created.
4. Open iTunes and create a new playlist by
going into FILE in the iTunes menu toolbar and
select NEW PLAYLIST. Then name your playlist.
5. From the folder created on the desktop,
drag the .MOV files into the specific playlist you
created in iTunes.
6. In the specific playlist you created in iTunes,
highlight the .MOV files with your mouse. Then go
to the iTunes menu toolbar and select ADVANCED.
7. In ADVANCED, select CONVERT SELECTION TO MP3**.
Then wait for the iTunes' "ding noise" to let you know the files
have been all converted.
**To have CONVERT SELECTION TO MP3
listed in ADVANCED:
(a) To have CONVERT SELECTION TO MP3 listed in
ADVANCED, go into iTUNES in the iTunes menu
toolbar and select PREFERENCES.
(b) In PREFERENCES, select the ADVANCED icon. In
the ADVANCED icon menu, click on IMPORTING.
(c) In the IMPORTING menu, go to the IMPORT USING line.
Now scroll down and select MP3 ENCODER. The click
on the OK button.
8. After the .MOV files have been converted to MP3 sound files,
erase the .MOV files listed in the specific playlist you created.
9. Take your mouse and click on the MUSIC icon in the LIBRARY section.
Now in the LIBRARY section, search for the converted files.
Once the converted files are found, be sure to highlight one at
a time-- you'll be making sure which ones are mp3s and which are not.
10. Once a converted file is highlighted, go into FILE in the iTunes
menu toolbar. Click on GET INFO and check which files are
.MOV or MP3 files. Delete each .MOV file found.
11. Now you're left with the converted MP3 files in the LIBRARY.
Highlight and drag all the converted MP3 files from the LIBRARY to your
specific playlist you created. Now you're done! Enjoy your
new MP3s!

There is no solution for playing and coverting DRM-protected WMA files on a Mac. I don't even know of a way to covert DRM-protected WMA files on a PC; you normally have to reimport them from the CDs, or when purchased from a download store burn them to an audio CD (where allowed).

I converted from a PC to a Mac Mini. I have my PC documents backed up on a DVD disk. I have an external DVD drive connected to the Mac Mini. I want to open them up and save them to the Mac, BUT....when I put the DVD disk in the Mac is NOT reading it!

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your quick response. I should add....it worked before. When I previously inserted the two DVDs into this remote drive, and I went into finder, I could click on the "remote device" line and see all my saved documents (excel, word, etc) on the DVD and open them on the Mac. Now I cannot see them, when I try to open them on the Mac, nothing happens, nothing is displayed. I just re-tested the remote DVD drive with a CD and, no problem, it opened up the CD via iTunes and I cold play the CD. SO......I know the remote DVD drive (it's an LG by the way) is fine, it's something to do with some settings on my mini mac,especially where I could open it previously. I do not remember changing any settings since then.
When I go into system preferences and click on CD/DVD it gives me options of how to open up a music CD (default is iTunes), a DVD (default is iMovie), etc. The problem is my DVD is all miscellaneious files/documents. I just want to be able to see them in the finder. I also tried to open them via microsoft word, from the remote disk and again, it could not open the drive, even though some of the documents were microsoft word documents. Again, I was able to open them previously and the DVD is not corrupted in any way.
Any additional advice?
Thank you!

How do i convert my music and pics over from windows to mac using a external hard drive.

New mac user. How do i convert my files from windows to mac using external hard drive. I am using a Seagate freeagent go flex.

leave as is and add NTFS driver to write to the drive / migrate maybe / reading NTFS drives isn't always perfect, some times external drive case has trouble mounting or staying mounted and suffers slow copy speed after awhile or with large files which is why I suggest Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X.
