Using my treo in windows and mac

Hi everyone! I just recently converted from a pc to a macbook. Its been an interesting transition. I seem to live lurking on the boards trying to figure out various issues. This one I cant get:
I used my Treo 650 on my windows. And now I want to convert it over to the mac. I have uploaded the latest palm software (that I saw in another thread), and while I can get my isync to recognize it, nothing comes over when I open the software. I also synced using my hotsync and again, nothing is in the palm folder or the address book on the mac.
What am I missing?
Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you have installed Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D on your Macintosh, you need only configure your standard Palm conduits initially to Handheld overwrites Macintosh. This will transfer your contacts, calendars and task records to the Palm Desktop. Memos will be transfered, but are not supported by iSync, should you choose to go that route.
To move copies of your contacts to the Address Book, export the data from the Palm Desktop in vCard format, then import that data into the Address Book. To move copies of your calendars into iCal, export them in vCal format, then import that data into iCal. The export and import of task records for use in iCal is not supported.
At this point, you will need to determine if you want to synchronize with the Palm Desktop or with iSync, thereby transferring data to the Address Book and iCal instead. [The Missing Sync for Palm OS is an alternative, discussed below.] You cannot synchronize to both environments - it's one or the other. If it's the Address Book and iCal combination with iSync—where you will have to perform a one-time manual input of task records and where memos are not supported—the use the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option in the Devices menu of iSync to initiate that process. If it is to the Palm Desktop, do not add your device to iSync: instead, simply revert your conduits to the Synchronize setting to enable bidirectional data transfer.
You may wish to synchronize to the Address Book and iCal using the Missing Sync for Palm OS, a far more capable and robust program than iSync, and one which overcomes the irritating limitations of the iSync Palm Conduit. It also synchronizes AvantGo content, media files and photos to iTunes and iPhoto, memos to an included Mark/Space MemoPad application for OS X, and generally improves the synchronization experience. In addition, it supports the features available in advanced Palm devices like your Treo 650, including the transfer of contact photos, synchronization of contact and calendar categories, and multiple address data fields not supported by the iSync Palm Conduit. More information about that application is available here:

Use external drive for windows and mac

Hello,
I just bought a external 320Gb Western Digital Drive. I would like to use
the drive for windows and mac.I will not like to make partation on the drive
to use it on both operating systems. Is there any formating system with which i can use in both operating systems? I would like to use time machine feature on that drive also.
Thanx.

If you want to use a disk for both PC/Mac file storage and Time Machine, you will have to create two partitions. Partitioning is sort of like creating multiple virtual disks on the same physical disk. One partition should be formatted for PC (which the Mac can also use) and the other should be formatted for HFS+ (Mac only) which is what Time Machine requires. The Disk Utility application makes partitioning and formatting very easy.

ITunes 9 - Using 'Home Sharing' between Windows and Mac libraries

I have my main iTunes music library stored on my Windows 7 PC. It is currently around 200Gb in size, so pretty large.
I want to be able to use 'Home Sharing' in iTunes 9 to access this library on my Macbook over my home wireless network.
I don't, however, want to copy the music files themselves over to this laptop, but simply access the library over the network, and play them via either iTunes 9 or Front Row.
I would appear that the Windows and Mac 'iTunes Library' xml files are incompatible. I can't 'Alias' the Windows library on the MacBook for this reason. Does 'Home Sharing' eliminate this problem? Is there a way of accessing the library on the Windows PC without copying all of the files over to the MacBook?
I want to maintain a single library (which is often changing with new podcasts etc), rather than 2 libraries which I have to keep in sync.
Does anybody have any ideas on this one? I'm sure I am not alone in having this problem.
Here's hoping...:)

Using iPod both in Windows and Mac at the same Time?

I was wondering if it was possible to use my brand new ipod both in Mac as in Windows without having to format or restore it every time?
The idea is to use "manually manage songs" on both Operating Systems.
Thanks for your help!

iPods come formatted Windows and will work on Macs and Windows. Unless you Restore it in a Mac, it will stay formatted Windows.
If it doesn't work, put the iPod on Disk Mode and iTunes should recognize in both systems.
If it is formatted Mac, it will not be useable on Windows, even in Disk Mode.

How do I use my external harddrive windows and Mac

I just purchased an iomega 400GB drive I need to be able to use it for files on both my G3 Mac and a Windows XP laptop, mostly for my itunes files.
The drive is formatted in Fat32 or MSDOS but the Mac doesn't mount the drive. I've heard there is an arbitrary size limit on hard drives formatted in Fat32 but can't seem to find what that limit is. Does anyone know what that limit is? Do I partition the drive at the limit?
This Mac is running 10.3.9. so Macfuse isn't an option
Any help is appreciated.

In FCPX, in the menu-bar is 'Help', which should you link to the Manual.
Be sure, you get the actual one for your version of FCPX ..
Glad to helpful!

Want to use iPod on both Windows and Mac What is going on?

I had a iPod mini and we have a 1st gen Nano and 2 2nd gen Nano's and all worked fine when I formatted them on the Windows PC and then plugged into the Mac. My mini died so I now have a 4th gen Nano. Works fine on the Windows PC. When I plug it into the Mac, it started up iTunes fine like it should. Tried to copy one song and it ejected the iPod. It will not recognize it in iTunes or even on the desktop. The Nano charges being plugged in, but it is like it is plugged into the standard wall charger. I would like to get it working with both machines like all the others that I have. It did update to the latest 1.0.3 PC firmware.
Help!

Hello
reading this Apple support doc. on ipod use with multiple computers should help clear things up.

Tried to use iTunes library from Windows and Mac - lost everything

My iTunes Library is on a NAS (Dlink DNS-323) and until last night, I was only using it with my two macs (both running 10.5.6).
Last night, I wanted to use it from my Vista laptop so I looked up online and realized I can easily do it by renaming the "iTunes Library" file to iTunes Library.itl and double clicking from iTunes on Windows.
It seemed to work because when iTunes opened, I could see my playlists and I saw the message "updating library". I was afraid about the update to the library, so I just exit iTunes at the time thinking it would all be ok.
Guess not. This morning when I opened iTunes from my iMac, it opened with and empty library. I tried to do Library/Import Playlist and it did nothing but add the "standard" playlists to my library. I tried it a few times, with different settings (trying to re-rename the .itl back to just iTunes Library for example) and nothing worked.
Do I have any hope to recreate the library? From now on I will be backing up the NAS also, but meanwhile any ideas?

Your library file was being converted from Mac-based paths to Windows-based paths; apparently iTunes isn't courteous enough to work on a temp file while doing that conversion. You're not going to get it back. (And now you've learned the hard lesson of making backups of your important stuff
If the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file is still in one piece, you can use File menu -> Library -> Import playlist and point the file dialog to the xml file. Just about all the previous iTunes-only metadata will be imported (IIRC, about all you lose is some "Skip" info, and of course, Date Added will reflect the new date of import).

Can I use my shuffle with Windows and Mac?

My shuffle works great with my computer running windows, but doesn't mount on my Apple, or recognized by iTunes (on my G4).
Can I use the Shuffle on both computers?

Yes you can. The iPod Shuffle always uses FAT32 so it's compatible with both OSes out of the box. With a dual 800 I'm guessing you've got USB 1.1 ports. You're also running 10.4.2 so you should be fine. I've used my shuffle with a Windows PC running XP via USB 2.0 and my upgraded Sawtooth running 10.3.9 via USB 1.1 (both direct port and via the keyboard).
Note that there is no "manual" mode for the shuffle so iTunes won't show you what's on there unless you let it remove all the songs first.

Want to use a Lacie External Hard Disk with Windows and Mac? Can I?...

Hi, I've just purchased a Lacie Extreme D2 external hard disk, I'm looking to use it to move film clips from my Mac G5 to my Sony Vaio laptop. I'll connect the Mac using Firewire 1 and the PC using USB 1.
I understand there is an issue with setting the compaitibility of the hard disk to either Mac or Windows format but I'm wondering if I can set it to both, so it's possible to transfer these files? The hard disk is Windows and Mac compatible but does it have to be partitioned a certain way?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Format the drive as FAT or use the Mac format (HFS Extended) and install MacDrive on the PC.

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox

Portable Hard drive formating for use with windows and mac operating system

Just bought a verbatim sure fire 500g 800 firewire portable hard drive for my new macbook pro. I have not did bootcamp yet because I am deciding on wether to use Vista or the new windows 7 that will be coming out soon. The drive is already formated HFS+, how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it. Help!!!

how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it.
Either format it to MS-DOS from the DIsk Utility, or install a tool such as MacDrive into Windows and keep the drive in its current format, or install the NTFS-3G driver into Mac OS X and format the drive to NTFS in Windows.

Can i use exfat format for my external western digital harddrive so that i can use in both windows and mac?

can i use exfat format for my external western digital harddrive so that i can use in both windows and mac?
thanks in advance.
<Email Edited by Host>

Yes you can. OS X version 10.6.6 and later can read/write exFAT. Windows XP SP3 and later can read/write exFAT. As posted by Radiation Mac, you can do it from Windows or from OS X.
However, I've noticed Windows to be somewhat picky about drives formatted on a Mac. So, if Windows can't read it, try formatting it on the Windows machine, and see how it works on the Mac.

Share iTunes libraries between Windows and MAC

Hi all i've an wifi via "Base AirPort" i've an HD shared between MAC and Windows sistem via the BASE, the iTunes library that i've stored in the HD is non redable for iTunes on Windows because it need an *.itl file...
How can i share an iTunes library between Windows and MAC???

I would like to report back that after struggling for months to get Tune Ranger to work that it is complete rubbish. The first time I tried to sync my libraries (between an empty iTunes library and my existing one) it created duplicates all over the place in my library and generally made a huge mess of everything. The support person (who I suspect is the only person over there) gave me some guff about my id3 tags being corrupt but it was clear that every song that appeared in a playlist was getting duped. Once I fixed this (many weeks later) I tried a one way sync after fiddling with the preferences of Tune Ranger to try to make it work, but it simply wouldn't.
I don't know if anyway has had success using TR where they are also trying to sync playlists, but if you have, I would certainly like to know what you settings are.

Need to open word document from flash projector on Windows and Mac

Hello,
I'm creating a flash program that will be put on a dvd. And the dvd should function well on both windows and mac.
I'm trying to open a word document on click of a button. I used geturl but it works only on windows but on mac it only opens a blank browser.
This is urgent and would be really grateful if I get any help to resolve this problem
Thanks,
Sunira

I kind of doubt you could get Safari to open MS Office files. Short of actually getting MS Office for the Mac, the most workable option might be to get NeoOffice/J (a Mac-friendly version of OpenOffice from http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php. It won't display some Office files 100% correctly (depending on how complex they are) but it can open and save them.
