Using lightroom on laptop as well as main computer (Mac)

Does anyone know if you can use the same serial number to install on both main computer and laptop or is a separate serial number required .
Thanks

I'm very interested in this answer too. More importantly, I'm running a mixed Microsoft/Apple environment and my desktop is still a Microsoft XP machine (Will change pretty soon tho).
I've always been able to run the same serial number for Photoshop on my Desktop AND my Laptop. But, I've understood that Adobe is very resistant to allowing people to run cross platform with the same licenses. AND, to make matters worse, the answer you get seems to vary with who you talk to at Adobe. Its like they have not really made up their minds about this.

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verif

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

Can I use same code to download on to my laptop/iPad as well as main computer. I have already purchased Elemenats12?

I Have bought Elements 12 on a software card from PC world. I have registered it on my main computer. Can I also download it on to my laptop/ iPad?

Laptop, yes providing it meets the technical specs required to run Elements
System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements
Download the trial version from the Adobe website, install then enter your serial number.
iPad, no. Elements will not run on iOS, the Mac mobile operating system.
The only way to get software on to your iPad is via the Apple App Store. There is no version of Elements for the iPad.

Can I see What's Playing on a laptop networked to the main computer?

My iTunes program, files and music all reside on a 1T drive connected to a MacPro in the office. I generally set up playlists and run music from there, using AirTunes to put the music all around.
My laptop in the living room is networked to it. Is there a program to show me on the laptop what is playing on the MacPro?
I know I can connect as a shared library to that iTunes or even mount the drive across the network to the laptop and Opt. open iTunes and find it. But I've seen there are some programs that broadcast what's playing to the net. Does anyone use something like that to broadcast to another computer on their home network? With album artwork?

Click on the chevron to the left of the iPod icon in the Source list. This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Clicking on Music for instance will give you the traditional song view.

Is there a way to use windows 7 laptop as a second monitor with mac pro,fcpx

I have a Lenovo ideapad laptop it has a port the one seen in this picture is it possible to be used as a monitor ?? and how.?

Your mac (where fcpx is) has to have some kind of secondary video out port. And the laptop would need to have a matching video in port. Without them, NO.
If you do have them, it's probably possible, but likely to be too much of a hassle to set up.
You might be able to over your network, (I do it between using my Apple devices) but with a PC you'd have to find appropriate software to do this, and again, probably more trouble than it's worth.

Pc not working well. got new computer (Mac), need to upload my LR5 to the MAC

How can I get the mac version of LR5. I already paid for the pc version.

Install via the original disk if you got one or....
Download the Mac Trial Version of Lightroom from here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom&promoid&promoid=D TEML. When it asks you, enter the serial number you purchased for the PC. The serial is the same for both versions.

Can N200 battery be used for N100 laptop

Hi,
One of Lenovo resellers suggested that N200 battery can be used for N100 laptop as well. However, N200 one is 11V and N100 one is 10.8V. Otherwise it fits in the laptop design.
Any recommendations or suggestions from experts?
Thanks

Yes, you can with with Airfoil.
However, for watching DVDs, you'll want to use VLC in concert with Airfoil so that you can compensate for the audio delay that will occur otherwise. Open Airfoil and select VLC as the app whose audio should go to the Express. Click on the little button next to the speaker name and VLC will automatically open.
Then open the VLC preferences, select Audio in the list, and click on the Advanced checkbox at the bottom of the preferences window. Enter a negative number of milliseconds in the "Audio desynchronization compensation" field to advance the audio ahead of the video, which will offset the audio delay. Start with -3000 (3 seconds) and you'll probably have to tweak it from there. Then open the DVD in VLC and start it playing.
Yes, this is a pain in the butt, but it's the nature of streaming audio: the audio stream must be prebuffered for a few seconds to keep variations in the data transfer rate from interrupting the audio.

Using Lightroom and Iphoto Together

Can anyone point me to a tutorial or provide information on the best way to utilize Lightroom with Iphoto? I have read several posts which are contradictory in regards to importing photos into Lightroom from Iphoto. Some say to export files to Finder and then use Lightroom to import. Others say to open Iphoto Package Contents, make alias and use Lightroom to import. I am a new mac user and would like some clarification before I screw it all up. I like the ease of Iphoto for everyday organization, emailing and flickring but would like to import selected photos or events into Lightroom for processing. Thx a bunch.

What are you trying to do, exactly?
Both LR and iPhoto are photo managers. iPhoto is firmly pointed at the home user with a point and shoot camera, LR is a professional grade application aimed squarely at the Raw shooter.
In either case +they both do the same job+, so using both is a bit like writing your Novel in Word and also in Pages at the same time.
Assuming you want to import pics from your camera, store them, process them and then organise them into albums etc, I would use Lightroom. It's just a more powerful app for the job.
Then, if there's something that LR can't do - for instance, Slideshows or books or whatever - then export the pics you want to use from LR to the Finder and import into iPhoto, or use *_this_* LR plug in to automate the process.
I have read several posts which are contradictory in regards to importing photos into Lightroom from Iphoto.
You need to understand something. Both Application are Databases. A photo needs to be imported before they can even see or manipulate it. While Aperture can read the iPhoto database, LR is utterly oblivious to the iPhoto DB and vice versa.
Some say to export files to Finder and then use Lightroom to import.
This is the correct way.
Others say to open Iphoto Package Contents, make alias and use Lightroom to import.
Never, ever do this. Any slight change to the path of the file and your iPhoto Library is toast.
but would like to import selected photos or events into Lightroom for processing.
Frankly, this sounds to me more like a job for Photshop Elements rather than LR.

Does the Macbook Air make a good "Main" Computer?

I was thinking of selling my Mid-2010 model 17" Macbook Pro in favor of one of the new Macbook Air's rumored (and likely) to be coming out. However, I use my current Macbook Pro as my "Main" computer...schoolwork, surfing the web, watching YouTube videos, facebook, email, and the occasional games like N.O.V.A. 2 and I also have a lot of iTunes songs, Movies, and Apps on there. ...so my question is for those with a current Macbook Air, does it make a good "Main" Computer for what I would intend to use it for? Or should I just stick with my Macbook Pro? (BTW I have only used about 196GB out of my 500GB Harddrive)

Sticky question. What does "a lot" of music and movies mean?
Given how much HD you've used up, you could certainly get a 13" MBA and have plenty of HD left over; and I think the latest models, especially if you get as much RAM as you can and such, should be more than powerful enough to do all you want to do and be your primary computer. Of course, you should go to a store and be sure you're okay with less screen real estate to watch those movies and play those games. It could be a bit of a shock to go from that 17" wide to a more modest 13".
I think the real question you need to ask yourself is less a matter of what you're doing now than what you plan on doing in the future. If there is really nothing you need a 17" 500g Pro for, if you're not going to go into computer graphics, movie making or any of those professions where such a machine is almost essential, then by all means, go MBA. Likewise if you aim to do more traveling. I think you'll find the weight difference alone between the two machines worth the switch, not to mention the beauty of SSD which, currently, you can't get on Pros without paying a lot.

I need to purchase a new laptop and wondered what was recommended when using lightroom?

Ehich laptop is most compatible with Lightroom?

Also, if you are planning to also use the laptop to edit your photos, you want to go with a 17" screen. I have a small 15" ASUS laptop with an Intel I5 CPU and 6GB of RAM. Lightroom runs fine on that but I only use it to offload images from my CF card and use Lightroom or Elements to verify the download was successful by checking the RAW images in a RAW viewer so I have no need for a lot of power. However, the small screen is not suitable for serious editing.
I also have a Macbook Pro 17" which I also use. I have a small working catalog on that machine. I used to use it for traveling but, being considerably larger and heavier than the ASUS, I don't take it on the road anymore. The screen was large enough that I could view 1:1 previews and still see nearly the entire image on the screen which made it suitable to make changes and judge quality but I still wait to to do the serous edits (like using Photoshop) when i get home where I can export/import my working catalog to my Mac Pro with the big monitor.
The 17" screen on the Macbook makes serious editing possible and there is enough power and memory to run both Lightroom and Photoshop. If the laptop is going to be your primary darkroom, go with a 17" screen with a fast processor (Intel I5 or better, I7) and at least 8GB of RAM (Photoshop really loves RAM). One other thing I will mention is that I worked in IT for a very large bank where we had thousands of laptops deployed from a number of different manufacturers. The Lenovo laptops had the least problems over all with a much lower percentage of them having to be returned/repaired. I personally had good luck with the Dell laptops and have owned them personally as well but many of my coworkers did not fair so well.

Can I use my creative cloud on my laptop as well as my desktop PC?

Will my subscription be accessible on my laptop as well as my main computer? It would be helpful to have that option when traveling.

I recently purchased a new laptop to replace my current one on which I use lightroom. I am also getting a new desktop this month and would like to install lightroom on both of my new computers (i will no longer need it on the old laptop). Can I do this wi

I understand I can use lightroom on up to two computers as long as I am not running them at the same time. My question is, can I uninstall it from my current laptop and install it on two new computers?

Yes, you can do that. To be in compliance with the Lightroom license, it needs to be installed on only two computers. But there is no activation/deactivation process for Lightroom. So it will be fine for you to install Lightroom 5 on both of your new computers. This document might help you in making the move:

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

Any ideas?

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

I have Lightroom 5.5 as standalone app on my laptop and I want to use Lightroom mobile too. But I am not an Adobe CC subscriber. Can I use LR mobile? Right now it's telling me it's on trial and I have only 17 days left.

But I paid for my Lightroom 5.5, LR Mobile is an app for LR5, isn't that unfair not to allow me to use LR Mobile? Adobe should change this policy.
