Though I assume that video DVDs are region locked, what about software?

Will a US iMac be able to handle Japanese Apple software?  I just recently purchased an iMac here in Japan and want to spring for an MBA this christmas back in the states.  I also bought iWork (family pack) and intend to put that on my MBA.  Will the US MBA be able to use the Japanese iWork? 

Thanks, Tom.  Not concerned about language since I already switched this Mac to English and am using iWork in English.  I just realized that the MBA has no disk drive, so I'd have to connect it to my iMac via thunderbolt anyway to share the DVD.  Thanks again!

    Our regular photographer send us images that, unlike before, are now locked in rights and sharing. This means that we have to lock up every photo separately with the admin code and it takes time.
    Recent pictures from him came with read and write permissions. He says he has not done anything different than before.
    Could it be that there is a setting in our mac / photoshop which causes this?

    PS itself doesn't do any rights management, so it's unclear what you mean. If you have system levele permissions issues, you might want to review some of this stuff:

  • I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

    I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

    Yes, you can do all of that via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data, if you have Acrobat.
    If you only have the free Reader then you can still do it, but it requires a script.

  • Now that Apple is selling iphone unlocked, what about those ho bought locked ?

    Now that Apple is selling iphone unlocked, what about those ho bought locked ?
    Can i unlocked my iphone now ?

    AT&T have not announced any change to their no-unlocking policy. Only AT&T could authorize the phone to be unlocked.
    The fact that Apple now sells (independently of AT&T) unlocked GSM iPhones does not change this.

  • Can't stop redirects, and effort to access resources that would help are "redirected". What to do?

    Malware, AdAware, AVG are all run, with no bugs found, yet system continues to redirect from searches in google, or from within another site. What can be done to stop it.

    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

  • How I export from HDV to SD (DVD)... What about HD versions suitable for Macs and Pcs?

    Hi,
          I have just finished editing a short movie based on some high res stills combined with some 1080i HDV footage.
       After completing the edit in CS4 (in a HDV 1080i environment) I went through Adobe Media Encoder in order to downsize and converting into an m2v file ready for my Encore project.
       As you probably well know this is far from satisfactory in terms of the down sampling capabities shown by AME as well as the lack of proper colour conversion.
    So, after giving up on the Dan Isaacs method, AVI synth didnt seem friendly to this user... as well as the inability of CS4 to frameserve..
    My solution was to exported the Microsoft AVI using the HUFFYUV codec at 100% - With Progressive scan, when ever I interlaced my output it showed obvious interlacing in my player, odd or even fields first...
    I then used VirtualDub to do the down sizing
    Finally Procoder 3 to convert to m2v.
    The results still have no proper colour conversion properties but look much sharper than the regular CS4 encode using AME
       OK, that took an eternity to discover and still leaves me with another problem.
    I want to export straight from CS4 to media type that can be played on both PC and Macs in HD.
    Before I go down another gruop of dead ends and trial and error discoveries, could anyone here suggest a recomended and successful workflow?
       Many thanks,
    Phil.

    let me see if I can help out a little here.
    The problem with converting 1080i to SD in software is that FCP seems to do a not-very-good job of downsampling the image, particularly when you are going directly to DV. Details get blurry, and other compression artifacts become quite noticeable. I have also experienced trouble with the HDV fields not getting processed correctly if I go to SD mpeg directly from an HDV timeline or movie file.
    Your best bet is one of the following workflows:
    Export a 1080i HDV or AIC movie file and re-import to FCP. Place this clip into an anamorphic SD sequence. It doesn't matter if the sequence is DV or Uncompressed if you send the sequence directly to Compressor from FCP, because this will ignore any rendered material and use an uncompressed image buffer as it encodes the mpeg. Do not letterbox your widescreen video if you are going to DVD - widescreen DVD video should always be full-frame anamorphic.
    Your other option is to attempt to use Compressor to down-res the sequence or a self-contained movie of your HDV, starting with one of the advnace format conversion presets in Compressor. However, you'll have to cutstomize the preset by turning on the frame controls, and testing the settings to make sure you are happy with the result. Turning on frame controls will increase the ratio of your encoding time anywhere from 4 to 20:1.
    I have tried all of these methods, and none of them look as good as capturing the downconverted video from the deck after mastering to HDV tape.
    Hope this helps -

  • Dual-video cards worth it? What about Phys-x?

    About to build a system through CyberPowerpc for Adobe Premiere  editing (and photoshop/lightroom). As of now I will be editing canon 5d  MKII video files.
    Is it better to just get one good card now? I'm wondering if performance will significantly increase with a second card. Also if anyone has experience with using a dedicated PhysX card I woud love to hear about it.
    Should I get an SSD hard drive as my OS drive?
    I will also be using a Drobo-S connected via e-sata or USB-3 for storing my data: mainly video and image files for use in CS5

    Drobo's run a modified software raid 5 that has allot of overhead especially with the virtual volume. This slows their units down. You are sacrificing some performance for ease of use and features. In backup scenario's it's worth the trade off. However that is not the case for production drives. I would not work off a Drobo at all. Definitely get another internal drive for production instead of the Drobo.

  • Open/fill in form on Mac that was created in Windows?  What Mac software needed?

    Created a form in Windows using Acrobat Pro 9/LiveCycle Designer. Need to send this form to Mac user to fill out.  He can't add info to form or see check boxes.  What software does he need on Mac?  Once he completes form will email data back to me to import to form, then I need to email completed form to him to open on his iPad, read & sign.  What software does he need on iPad to open/see/sign form?  He has the program that allows him to "overlay" and save signature.

    I'm not aware of any software that allows XFA forms created with LiveCycle Designer to work with iOS. If you want PDF forms that will work on iOS you shold create them in Acrobat. These are known a Acroforms. Adobe Reader for iOS can then be used to work with the forms, but Readdle's PDF Expert has the most complete support for forms and JavaScript.

  • Playing DVDs? - preventing REGION LOCKING?

    Two Parter...from frustrated naive user...
    1. It has been awhile since I put a DVD as in Hollywood movie. I put a DVD in the computer and ZILCH...nothing starts playing. I do notice a DVD icon with the movie name...inside are two folders...AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. How do I get the movie to play...I thought it would just start the DVD PLAYER right up and play...
    2. I play movies from multiple regions...I have a message
    DRIVE REGION CODE
    The disc region code does not match the drive region code. The drive regioin code must be changed to play the disc.

    You can only change the drive code 4 more times.

    Normally video DVDs are set to start Apple's DVD Player via the "CDs & DVDs" System Preference, but this means you can't use VLC if the regions don't match.
    If you drag the VIDEO_TS folder to the DVD Player icon it should play, or you can use "Open DVD Media... ⌘O" from DVD Player's "File" menu.
    VLC uses "Open Disc... ⌘D".

    HOW DO I GET AROUND THIS?
    With some DVD drives you can flash modified firmware to make the drive RPC-1, which allows unlimited region changes (when used with Region X).
    If you don't have one of the newer Matshita drives, you can play DVDs with VLC, which doesn't bother with regions, or you can use MacTheRipper to make a region-free copy of your DVDs.
