Transferring iTunes for Mac to iTunes for Windows

My son currently uses iTunes for Mac to store all his music he for his iPhone. His iTunes is on a PowerBook G4, running OS X 10.4.11, which he now finds can not be upgraded to Leopard or Snow Leopard which would give him the latest version of iTunes. He is now thinking of purchasing a PC laptop that will run the latest version of iTunes. BUT, all of his music is on his Mac PowerBook. Is there way to transfer his music on iTunes for Mac to iTunes for Windows?

Chris,
Thank you for responding. I only went by what my son said. I will check out Leopard's system requirements. Do you know if music stored on iTunes for Mac can be transferred to iTunes for Windows. If so,what I do to transfer the music?

Paragon NTFS for MAC vs HFS for Windows?

Hey fellas!
Which of these 2 would you say it makes more sense to have in a bootcamp environment with a drive exclusively for data storage:
NTFS for MAC or HFS for Windows?
My setup is drive 1 for both OSs, MAC and WINDOWS, and drive 2 would be then formatted in HFS or NTFS, for putting files and data which I'd use CONSTANTLY to share between the 2 OSs.
What do you think?

Actually I really wanted to use exFat, but I'm afraid of the so-called lack of overall reliability (when compared to NTFS) and worse, the usual compatibility issues I've heard about between OSX and exFat. I'll be storing important files, work related stuff.
Do you know anything about that?
Otherwise I think I'll go with NTFS...

In my newly purchased MacBook Air, Dropbox does not function properly. It asks for Mac OS Password for my computer which I do not have.

In my newly purchased MacBook Air, Dropbox does not function properly (it shows MS Word, Excell and Power Point docs but not pictures). It asks for Mac OS Password for my computer which I do not have. How should I get this password ?

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

Iphone not being recognized by Itunes for MAC; But works in Windows Vista

Hi,
My iphone sync with Windows without problems.
But when I plug my iPhone in MAC (10.5.5) with Itunes (8.0.2) the iTunes return: itunes could not connect to the iphone 0xE8000001
It is strange because iPhone connect with iPhoto without problems.
Just iTunes for mac dont work.
This is a brand new minimac.
Any tips?
Rogerio

RogerioNT,
Which USB port are you connecting it to?
iPhoto will transfer over a USB 1.1 connection, and many hubs are USB 1.1. Try connecting the iPhone directly to the back of the computer.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Can't buy Keynote for Mac using iTunes gift card

Hello there fellas.
I have an iTunes account with $21,20 credit that I got from a gift card.
For a couple days now I've been trying to buy the Keynote for Mac with no sucess.
After clicking the buy option at the App Store it opens a window to check my billing info, even thou my account has no credit card information. I confirm everything without entering any credit card info and it asks me again for my password. As I enter the password it asks for the billing info again and I can't buy the app at the end.
Have this happened to anyone else? What am I doing wrong here?
Why I can't buy a $19 app when I have $21 as credit?

this is not the first app I bought, and all the past ones didn't have any hidden fees or taxes applied after the purchase
Taxes and fees are not applied AFTER the purchase. They are included in the total price.
They are not "hidden"... refer to the terms and conditions link I posted previously.
Pages is $19.99 at the U.S. app store.
You need to consider whatever the tax rate may be for the state you live in, add that to the $19.99.
but can not get it using my prepaid credit.
There's not sufficent funds available.

Differences between CC for Mac and CC for Windows

Hello,
I just read here in the forum that possibilities regarding app-making in InDesign are limited when you are a Windows user. Seems like the "Create App"-possibility is for mac users only. Terry White made a very good video about app-making, but failed to mention that you needed not only CC (or CS6), but also a Mac.
Be that as it may, I would like to know if there is a list somewhere, describing in detail the differences between possibilities and options on CC for Windows compared to CC on a Mac.
And - if there is no list, can anyone tell me the differences?
Regards,
MikHva

Thanks for the answer. I can see that I messed up formulating the last entry - what we are about to do is upgrade from CS6 to CC.
Maybe you could help me with a related question. The last few days I have been searching for alternatives to builing my apps in InDesign, and I turned to Dreamweaver. I copied the CSS from InDesign to dreamweaver, fixed the content and made my app work through my 1 phonegap build-project (the InDesign version looked better, though) - but getting on fra Dreamweaver to Android and iOS involves Phonegap.
I can see that Adobe has developed the Adobe Phonegap Build. Is that a program (app) that I can acces after subscribing to the Creative Cloud? A friend of mine has the CC-version and I asked if she had acces to install Adobe Phonegap Build, but it was not on her list of programs to install.
- As things look right now we might be going for a Pro or Enterprise version - but I haven't figured out the difference between the two yet - I've been busy with Dreamweaver.
Sincerely and with thanks,
MikHva

Change windows software for MAC or run with windows

Hi
I have a new macbook pro and unopened versions of Photoshop elements 8 and Serif pageplus and Serif webplus. I am wondering if I should
1.buy windows 7 to run these applications (serif don't have a mac compatible version)
2. Return the elements for a mac version
3. Return all and swich to mac based software as I am about to start new business requiring website and publishing and that is what MAC is renonwed for. Am I missing a trick trying to use windows programmes for what MAC is specialised in? Would appreciate any help as fairly new to this

Websites: you probably will NEED to run Windows in a VM just to check out how it looks and that it works in Windows anyway.
And no one can really answer, though you are locked into Mac software that supports 10.6.
So run both. Run each off its own partition, and run Windows concurrently in a VM.

Office for Mac and Office for Windows XP compatibility issues?

Trying to convince a family member to make the Mac switch. She uses Office for Windows XP at work but might use Office for Mac at home. Will there be an compatibiity issues with the programs? She is a heavy Excel user and takes a lot of work home. If she has to rearrange cells and fonts and such each and every, it would drive her (and the rest of us) insane.
Any advice would be most welcome.
She is looking into either a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro. Putting Windows on the Mac is not really an option for us.
Thanks Community!

Or I could just download the trial version and see how that works.

Thanks for putting me in the right direction, anyway!

Transfer files from QuickBooks for Mac to TurboTax in Windows 2000

How can it be done to transfer QuickBooks for Mac data into TurboTax on a Windows 2000 PC? Is there any kind of utility program or file converter?
I already know there is NO BUILT-IN SUPPORT in QuickBooks or TurboTax for import/export if the two programs are not on the same computer. Also, Intuit does not have any kind of utility or converter to pass files between Mac and Windows.
Also, I spoke to an Apple technical support person who said that Boot Camp will not support Windows 2000.
Does anyone have any bright ideas on how to get the data out of QB into TT?

You should really consider posting your question on the QuickBooks community forums, as if anyone has any experience doing it, you'll find them there.

Does the Adobe suit for Mac also work on windows computers?

I am looking to buy the creative suit for my mac, but i just want to make sure it also works on windows. All it says on the box is CSS

Yes. CSS will work on both OS X and Windows. But you must have the correct version for each.
So if you are going to run CSS on both a Mac and a PC, you are going to have to purchase two copies, one for the Mac and one for the PC.

I just bought a macbook pro and am ready to order Microsoft Office for Mac. I use Windows 2007 at work and want to be sure I am able to work with files from that system. Do I need to buy 2 different editions of Microsoft Office to be able to do this?

Do I need to buy 2 different Microsoft Office products if I want to be able to use my new Mac with Microsoft Office for Mac and also use files saved on my work computer which uses Microsoft Window 2007?

Sorry, but your likely going to have to use Windows 7 and Office on your Mac at work using Bootcamp.
Although you can share files OfficeMac and Office on Windows, the formatting will be off because two platforms use different installed fonts and formatting. This will cause a productivity lost and require extra editing at work
If you could share just PDF's then your fine, but that will unlikely be the case.
So to share files seamlessly your going to have to install Windows 7 (another $300) full version, 64 bit, using Apple's Bootcamp.
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
It's ok, though, you can boot into OS X to use that online and surfing etc at home. It's the internet and sharing of files from other Windows users that cause Windows to hoze up, so mimimalize both of those and you should be fine.
You can also run Windows 7 in a virtual machine software like Parallels or VMFusion. as long as you don't have any super demanding needs of the hardware, like running 3D games or super intense CPU actions like video processing. Office work is just fine and it's safer than Bootcamp, as in a virtual machine you can keep "snapshots" of previous states of the OS, and revert back to in case something goes wrong in mere seconds.
A real good piece of news though, Windows 8 is so radically changed from Windows 7, that your workplace will remain with Windows 7 as long as possible to put off all the retraining necessary with that new OS version.
So think of the $300 + $60 investment in Windows on your Mac as a longterm thing.

Software for mac like Nero on windows?

hi,
i just want to know if there is a software for mac that does the same like Nero on windows (burn movies on dvd)?
thanks a lot !

You will probably have to transcode that into some format that is more compatible. From what I understand, AVI is just a wrapper format for any number of proprietary PC codecs. Some will play on a Mac if the appropriate drivers are available and some won't. Some people swear by VLC, but I've had more luck with MPlayer. You can download MPlayerX from the Mac App Store. VLC has more a restrictive "free and open source" license so you will have to download and install it on your own.
This is not my area of expertise. I suggest searching for similar topics and/or asking in the iDVD forum.
