  • Switched to MAC from Windows

    Help. I switched to MAC from Windows XP. I understand that you have to restore the settings so IPOD nano however by doing this it appears that I lose everything. How can I save all music that is saved to my NANO so I do not lose it?

    If you moved all your data from your PC to your Mac, especially the music library for iTunes, then all you need to do is load your music into the Mac version of iTunes, re-create your playlists, and then connect the nano. The fact that the nano will be erased when you re-format it for Mac isn't a problem, providing you've already loaded your music into the Mac's iTunes. Once you reformat, you just sync with iTunes and all the music is put back on the nano.

  • I'm running Windows 7 on my Mac using parallels 7. Do I need to isolate my mac from windows?

    If I isolate Mac from Windows, can I copy and paste between OS?  I use Windows 7 developer applications (Access, Visio, Visual Basic) for my job.  Wanting to make sure I am using the best practice without compromising my security of my Mac.  Any insight would be appreciated.

    There is no absolute need to isolate Windows from your Mac.
    You do, however, have to protect the Windows side of your computer with antivirus and antimalware software.
    You can decide on the level of integration.
    You can share a specific folder to move files between the two operating systems.
    You can just drag and drop files between OSX and Windows without creating a shared directory.

  • I need to transfer an iTunes library from Windows to Mac. .with a catch.

    The catch is, I have a Mac formatted iPod, so if I understand correctly, I can't use it as an external drive to take the library from the Windows machine.
    Anyway. . I'm buying my fiancee a MacBook, and obviously she wants her iTunes library from her Windoze machine. Her iPod is a nano, so it's not large enough capacity to transfer her whole library to her new MacBook.
    So. . how do I get her music on her MacBook?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    One way would to be to re-format the ipod for windows, enable disk usage, copy her existing library, then transfer to the mac ( the mac will read a window formatted ipod). Otherwise, if you have the ability I suggest networking the 2 computers, (macs & pc's can be networked together without a lot of trouble) an transfer via ethernet.

  • Can I transfer itunes library to mac from Windows PC via Home Sharing?

    I'm trying to transfer my itunes library from my Windows PC to my Macbook via Home Sharing. I followed all the steps in the KB and everything was looking fine, but I can't get the import button to enable, if there something that won't allow this from a Windows PC?

    Yes, no.  You can transfer your media files with Home Sharing but your library is more than media files.  It's your playlists, ratings, playcount, etc.  To transfer that:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 
    Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
    If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Transfer Photoshop CS5 license from Windows to Mac OSX

    Hello,
    I have a Photoshop CS5 license for Windows which I used for the past 4 years, but recently I've switched to Mac OSX and I need to transfer my license. I understand that it is an old version so...
    Is it still possible or do I need to upgrade to CS6 first ? I don't wan't the CC version.
    Thanks for any help.

    Serial numbers for Creative Suites are Windows only or Mac only.
    There is a platform swap process but it only applies to CS6
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    The only way to do what you want is buy the upgrade version of CS6 for Mac.

  • Connect to Mac from Windows Vista issue

    Hi I want to view some files that are on my Mac from my PC (Windows Vista). Here's what I did so far: On my Mac I enabled file sharing, I selected the folders that I want to share.
    Now here's the part that confuses me, it asks me to add the users to share the folder with. but do I enter the username and password for my mac or is it the username and password for my PC? What I did was add all the accounts that are on my mac.
    I then went on my PC, clicked on network, I can see the mac computer, I can also see my username and folder, I click on it, I then see the drop box but when I click on it I get a network error message that says "Windows cannot access Users public folder drop box".
    I don't know what setting I need to enable since I'm very new to this. I can access the files that are on my PC from my Mac just fine. but I can't access the files that are on my Mac from my PC. Do I need to create a new mac account?
    I also noticed that when I click on the mac computer from my PC in Network, it doesn't ask me to enter a username and password, could that be the reason I can't connect? Please help.

    The user names and passwords are the same on both systems. That is not the issue.
    The issue is that each user can only connect to the mac from their windows system when they physically log on as user at the mac.
    Otherwise it will not even show up in their network neighborhood.
    If I boot up the mac and log in as the user, I can connect to the mac from my windows system but the other two users can't.
    Likewise if one of them logs in as the user on the mac, I cannot connect to it from my windows system.

  • Connect to Mac from Windows

    I have three Windows systems and one Mac.
    Currently, to connect to my Mac (OSX Tiger) from Windows I have to be logged into the Mac as that user on the Windows machine.
    I have three users that access the Mac. All are setup on the Mac as users. All are setup on the Windows systems as users.
    But if John logs into the Mac and Betty tries to access the Mac from her computer she cannot. If John tries to access the Mac from his Windows system he can.
    Does anyone know how to setup the Mac so that any of the three users can connect to it from Windows regardless of who is logged in?
    I tried to set the group to staff for all the users public folders but that did not help.

  • Switching To Mac From Windows?

    First post here, so I'd firstly like to say Hello to everyone and wish them a happy new year
    Basically, I'm curious to know if any of you have switched to a MAC from a Windows based machine, and if you found the transition easy and "complete" in the sense of not having to make many sacrifices.
    Would also like to hear how someone with experience of both thinks they compare against one another?
    Pros/Cons?
    For someone that has been using Windows since Windows 3.1, I'm considering switching it up and getting a Mac Pro and ended up going for the 13 inch model with 2.6GHZ i5 and Iris 5100 Graphics + 512GB SSD. I remember a couple years ago at uni where I had to use a Mac a few times, and it drove me insane because I had no clue what was going on. I'm sure if I gave it some time I would have adjusted, but the initial "change" was unpleasant and I felt lost in comparison to how I know my way around Windows.
    As a side note, the phones I was using were initially Windows Mobile based, then Android, but I have also owned a couple iPhones and Windows Phones. In my mind I likened a Mac to iPhone vs Android + (old) Windows Mobile, where the iPhone is more fluid and simple but with more of a lack of options and customization, whereas the Android OS and especially the old Windows Mobile were more clunky but you could more or less do anything you wanted on them.
    I suppose I'm worried about having to give up some applications I've become accustomed to in windows and finding out that there are some things which just aren't possible, even though it's much prettier and more fluid.
    Any personal experiences with this will be greatly appreciated   I realise I'll probably get more biased answers depending on which forum I post this on, but I'm curous nonetheless!
    Thanks
    As a sidenote, I ended up buying it for £1250 (250 quid cheaper) new and sealed off a seller on ebay with great feedback and who sells other equipment too.  I'm guessing this will be eligible for the 1yr Apple warranty once I have registered it?
    Cheers

    Use Mac for couple of days and as interface becomes familiar, you will never regret it.
    These resource material may make transition a bit pleasant.

    True.
    Launch App store and you may find many applications that may suit your need.

    Correct.
    Inspect it thoroughly
    Enjoy the new Mac.

  • Switching to MAC from Windows: How to open files in Office 2007  VMFusion?

    Dear all,
    Intro:
    I switched to MAC and now cannot find the solution to a simple problem.
    First: I need an Office 2007 PowerPoint FULLY compatible solution.
    What did not work: IWork, NeoOffice, Office 2008 (this is not fully compatible with Office 2007 Files)
    I also had problems with: Parallels (not stable, too many hangups), codeweaver crossover (office files do not even open sometimes, good idea but not suitable for serious office jobs)
    Now I have VMWare Fusion with WinXP and Office 2007 as this seems to be the only truly stable and best solution to run Office 2007 on Mac
    Question:
    How to open files in Office 2007 on MAC VMWare Fusion easily?
    It would be nice to spotlight the file and click and it opens in powerpoint or excel or word 2007 in Virtual Machine.
    The only known solution to me is to use the Windows explorer to navigate to the file and then open it from Fusion WinXP. This is very cumbersome and honestly makes me think of getting back to a windows machine as I work with office frequently.
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you for the quick reply.
    Yes, I have Office 2007 installed. The problem is that to open files in Fusion virtual machine I have to use the windows explorer and navigate to the file to open it. Now that I have the mac I want to use the good feature of spotlight. So when I search and find the file I want to open I cannot click on it on the mac (or in finder) but I have to switch back to the virtual machine, locate the file again and open it from windows.
    You might think - ok, why not skip the first step of using spotlight, and look up the file in windows explorer before anything else?
    Correct, but I know from parallels that there is a file association possible to directly access the file in office 2007.
    This does not seem possible in Fusion - So the question is whether there is a possibility on the mac to associate the file and to click on it in finder/spotlight and the office 2007 application in fusion opens the file. So far I could not find anything.
    Thanks

  • How to install CS6 for Mac on Windows?[was: I believe]

    I have PSCS6 on one computer, a Mac.  I wish to install the program on a PC laptop. I believe one may install the progam on two computers.  I can download it but it is the Mac version which will not install on the PC.  Is there a way that Adobe will let me change platforms on the "two computer" allowance?

    If you have a Cloud account (subscription version), then the software is multi-platform licensed already.
    If you have a perpetually licensed version (paid for in full upfront) then the license is platform specific and is tied to your Mac.
    There is a platform swap process but it's only for current software versions and it's a permanent swap from Mac to Windows or vice versa.

  • Transferring iTunes to new Mac from Windows

    Hello, My wife and I both have iPhone 4s, and just purchased a MacBook Air, and recently updated to Lion OS. Previously, our iTunes / iPhones was on a Windows XP OS.
    We are having trouble properly running the phones iTunes accounts on the new MacBook Air. I have also tried setting up “Home-sharing” for my home MacBook Air and work Windows XP OS, but seems not to work correctly, so would like to cancel “Home-sharing” on the MacBook Air and Windows and just use the Mac for updating iTunes (podcast).
    We had the same iTunes account for both devices on our home Windows OS, but would like to make separate accounts on the new MacBook Air machine.
    It would be highly grateful to receive advice on how to reinstall iTunes and setting up our phones on 2 different accounts on the MacBook Air. 
    Thank you in advance for the kind assistance.

    I have the same exact question. Why doesn't apple have better documentation????
    Question: how do I move my entire library PLUS ALL THE ASSOCIATED PLAYLISTS/RATING HISTORY/SKIP HISTORY/PLAYCOUNT HISTORY/etc, WITHOUT CREATING DUPLICATES, to my new mac from my Vista machine?
    My situation: Vista machine; meta data saved on my Vista machine hard drive*, but the music files are on an external hard drive.
    Solution: ???. (I'm guessing it's as simple as saving the library meta file to a cd, then put the cd in the mac, and double click the file, and then all that library info would be added to iTunes on the mac .... but then how do you then add the music to the mac so that the library finds each song that it's supposed to find, without creating duplicates, while keeping all your rating history, skip history, playcount, playlists, etc???)
    Thanks so much!!!

  • [MAC newbie]: Concerns about moving to MAC from Windows

    Hello.
    I want to upgrade my PC.
    I'm having thoughts of moving from Windows to Macintosh (Mac Pro), but there are a few things that concern me.
    I use my PC to do these things (in a more or less exact order):
    1. InDesign, Photoshop, Quark XPress
    2. Internet browsing
    3. MS Office
    4. Video games
    5. Music, movies.
    Now I know I can do all these things on a Mac as well, except solving the troubles with Video games.
    My PC upgrade would cost me around 200 EU max (video card + some ram), while the cheapest Mac Pro I found on Amazon is about 600 EU + shipping taxes.
    Could anyone tell me what is it that Mac Pro desktop or Mac mini desktop have that would make me invest in it instead of simply upgrading my PC?
    Is there a "secret ingredient" about those MAC machines or is just a simple overpriced hype?
    Thank you for taking time reading this and for any help.
    Best regards,
    -- C.

    Well, instead of
    http://www.apple.com/why-mac/better-software/
    it could just as well look like
    ww.microsoft.com/why-windows/better-.../
    Of course, and so you should in order make a balanced judgement. You also need to look at the inevitable costs of replacing/updating your software applications if you change to a Mac.
    If I was in your shoes I would stick with upgrading what you have, but I hope you end up with whatever works for you!

  • I just moved to Mac from Windows and my desktop is still visible when I use Photoshop.

    Most people who switch from Windows to Mac find it unsettling to see the desktop when they start Photoshop. This is the way Mac works and has since the beginning. What you are looking for is the Application Frame. This is a new feature in CS4. You can find it towards the bottom of the Windows menu.
    If you are using a version prior to CS4 there is no Application Frame. You can change your desktop to gray; many do this; or you can hit the f Key for Maximized mode and once more for Fullscreen mode. This is the closest to the Application Frame in CS3 and earlier versions. 
    CS3 is the only version with the Maximized mode, but all have the Fullscreen mode.

    I dont know the answer yet, but i have noted what appears to be a bug in 10.9 in how it handles folder dates.  Right now i am seeing folder modified dates changing randomly ot "today" - whatever date the parent folder was opened.
    In the past my folders "modified" date was always the same as the last modified date of the items within.  But this only moved down ONE level - if a subfolder's entries were updated the "gradfather" folder did not update.
    But now severa people are reporting random, incorrect folder dates. I hoep this will be corrected soon, but who knows?
