Windows PC, iMac and Airbook

Dear support,
I use the hole Creative Cloud on my Windows PC and iMac. Both stand side by side on my desk.
Beyond this I have an Airbook - a third license to the cloud with the same Adobe-ID is needed.
What are the possibilities to solve my problem? What does it cost?
Best regards
Heiko

We had the same issue on our server.  We read that SMB 1 & 2 is no longer supported in OS X server for either Lion or Mtn. Lion.  We tried to switch from SMB 2 to SMB 1, and that was no better.  Since SMB 3 is not an option, I guess we are out of luck.  It appears that Apple has decided to dump on small businesses like mine that have a Mac server, several MacBooks, a Mac Mini, multiple iPads, and 2 PC's (win 7) that we use (1 for QuickBooks and 1 for Autocad).  I guess that is why the server software is $20, so we won't complain too much about wasting our time and money to upgrade.  Our solution has been to re-build the server back to Snow Leopard (which we bought for $500) and deal with the problems each of our MacBooks (which are all on Lion or Mtn. Lion) has in communicating with it.  It's bad customer service by Apple either way, but it's better to deal with the latter issues and be able to do accounting and CAD.  Apple, are you listening?  I guess Apple thinks it's OK to act as poorly to it's customers as Microsoft.  What a shame.

  • Use iWorks on iMac and Airbook

    Hi, again a question from be Apple Newbe.
    My husband uses an iMac and now I got an Airbook. When we eventually succeed in connecting these two I want to know if it is possible to install the iWorks that my husband bought for his iMac on my Airbook or will we have to get a new license?
    If it is now possible to install it on my Airbook, will I be able to use his Mac as 'Server' when at home and then use the iWorks on his Mac? We still work on the connection, as we only want to connect the Mac with the Airbook if we can keep our seperate iTunes libraries.
    Thanks for any reply,
    BR

    You can legally install that copy of iWork on your MacBook Air only if it's a 'family pack'. That allows installation on up to five Macs in the same household. If it's a single-user licence, then you should buy another licence.
    Note that you can get the iWork apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) seperately from the Mac App Store for less than the cost of the package.
    No, you won't be able to use the applications remotely, at least not by normal file sharing. You can open files resident on the other computer, but you need a local copy of the application to do so.

  • Airdrop is not working between my imac and air book. Why?

    Airdrop is very unreliable between my IMAC and Airbook. This is a recent problem and very annoying. Rebooting both computers restores it for a while. I now have to resort to emailing documents to myself to transfer simple small pages ot PDFs. I can;t find anything on the net to fix it but others have the same problem.

    This is what my Airdrop looks like.  It doesn't pick up my iPad, running ios8 (Airdrop is ON) and none of the drop down menus function.  What is the big question mark?
    I am using an iMac, just upgraded to the new Yosemite yesterday (BTW, Airdrop never worked previously either, and the window looked the same as now)

  • TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

  • I have an iMac and iphoto.  Currently I am having a problem with an album in iphoto.  When I double click on the album all I get in the main body of the screen is a triangle with an exclamation mark and my 2 photos show at the very bottom of the window.

    I have an imac and am using iphoto.  Currently I am having a problem with one particular album which shows in the main part of the window a triangle with an exclamation point.  The two photos are at the bottom of the main window in the same area where the "info" "edit" "create" area is.  I can see the two photos but I can not get them back into the main part of the window.  I can't drag them anywhere either.  I can't double click or right click on either of the two photos either. All I can do is click on either one and they get a little bigger.  Before I saw the exclamation point in the main body of the window all I get is two squares with nothing in them and the entire border is made up of dashes.  Can someone help me?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
                                            Screenshot is for iPhoto 9
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Is there a way to export an iTunes playlist from a windows XP pc and import on an iMac?

    I have a PC running Windows XP that I've had for many years. I just got an iMac and want to make that my main music source for syncing iPods, playing,music in the house, etc. I have a lot of playlists on the old PC that I want to move over to the iMac and I don't have to rebuild them all by hand. Is there a way to export the original playlists from the Windows PC and import them to the iMac since the file systems are different? Thanks.

    The problem really is that one person has InDesign and the other has Photoshop.
    The workflow is images from photoshop are placed in Photoshop.
    Not the layout from InDesign is placed in photoshop.
    That's how the software is designed to work.
    What people are saying is that Photoshop cannot work this way in dealing with layouts, it's a nightmare and will give you terrible results and cost you time and effort when updating things in Photoshop, it has all the makings of a Final Destination movie, particularly in the area of the later sequels.
    But let's not get hung up on those franchises.
    If the person needs to edit an Indesign file and can't afford the full cost of InDesign then there are other workarounds:
    1. If it's just text
    If all they are doing is updating text then you can use File>Export>Rich Text Format from a selection of text, this will make a Word version of the text that they can edit. You can then use File>Import and import the RTF that is edited.
    2. You can use InCopy
    This is a viable solution for editors that need to see the text in the Layout Format, but it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of InDesign, but it works in tangent with InDesign, it's not as pricey as InDesign and it also allows you to lock out editors from editing certain parts or moving things within the layout. And it can update your InDesign file on the fly.
    3. You can use Rorohikos Story Tweaker
    http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/2009/03/25/storytweakertextedits/
    There are workarounds that you can find for people that don't have InDesign. It's just that the Photoshop workflow isn't a viable solution in any sense.
    For example, I have my layouts proofed in PDF format, where the proofreader adds Comments to the PDF. It works for our workflow as I'm the one editing the only file in existence.
    But to go from InDesign to Photoshop is a complete  waste of time and effort on everyone's part. There is no need to go that route, there's no reason, there's no point.

  • How do i set a peer to peer network between my iMac and windows machines?

    I want to set up a peer to peer network between my iMac and Windows based computers in my house.  I also want it to a wireless set up.  Mostly being done to share videos, pictures, and music. Any insight would be appreciated.

    I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Wifi using internet sharing
    Why?
    Just connect the MacBook to the same internet as your iMac.
    MacBook > Wi-Fi router > Internet.
    You are connected to the internet with your iMac.
    iMac > Wi-Fi router > Internet
    Why do you want to go MacBook (via Wi-Fi)  > iMac > Wi-Fi router > Internet?

  • What is the best backup drive to use to backup a windows xp pc and to transfer that data to a new iMac i5 May 2011 and then to backup my iMac on it?

    What is the best backup drive to use to backup my windows xp pc and to transfer these files to my iMac i5 new in May 2011 and then to backup my i5 iMac?

    Get something with both USB and Firewire connections, as big as you can afford.  Format it Fat 32, plug it into the XP machine with USB, drag and drop the files you want to keep, plug it into the iMac with Firewire, drag and drop again.  If you want to use it just to back up your Mac in future, reformat it Mac OS Extended and enable Time Machine.  If you're likely to want to share the drive with Windows PCs in future, leave it Fat 32.

  • I just bought a new iMac and I am using a apple air port router.  How do I connect mt windows PC to the air port router do I can move files

    I Just purchased a 21.5 iMac and connected it to the Internet using a apple air port router.  How do I connect my windows PC to my air port router so I can transfer files.

    It makes life easier to install the airport utility for windows.. which has a couple of different apps in it.. if you airport is new type then the utility is too old.. but is still valuable for Bonjour which provides network information for shared devices in the apple world to windows.. and a disk access agent..
    It will also help the Apple computer access shared directory in the windows computer.. nowadays this is pretty easy.

    Hi there,
    The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

  • How do I run Windows programs on my iMac and my MiniMac?

    I have a new iMac and a new MiniMac at the office. Can I run Windows programs on these computers, such as QuickBooks? If so, how do I do it?

    If you want to run MS Windows applications on your iMac and Mac Mini you need a license of MS Windows at a minimum. Then you need to decide how you want to run the apps, you can use Boot Camp which allows you to install MS Windows on your computer and then boot your computer as either a MS Windows machine or OS X machine. The advantage of this is there is no cost (except for MS Windows) as Boot Camp comes with every Mac. You will find Boot Camp Setup Assistant in (Applications - Utilities - Boot Camp Setup Assistant). The other solution is virtualization software such as Parallels or VM Ware Fusion. The advantage of virtualization software is you can run MS Windows and OS X simultaneously. This is ideal if you are not doing graphics intensive applications such as 3D gaming, CAD/CAM or 3D renderings. For applications like QuickBooks it would be great.
    The downside of running MS Windows on your Mac is that portion of the computer will be susceptible to all the problems PC's have such as Virus's and other malware. So whatever solution you get you need to also get anti-virus software and other anti-malware. The upside is if Windows becomes diseased this in no way affects OS X.
    Finally your best solution is to look for OS X versions of your applications. I know there is a OS X version of QuickBooks however I have no idea how Intuit's licensing works, you would need to contact Intuit to ask that question.

  • How do I share wifi data between iMac and windows based computer on wifi network?

    I have an unsecured wifi network at home and need to easily share photos between computers>  I have an iMac and a couple window based computer> Is ther an easy way instead of using a thumb drive?

    Since photos are typically large files it will probably be quicker with the thumb drive. The other way is to set up sharing where the files are located and directing the other computers to look there.

  • Can't see shares between Windows XP PCs and iMac

    I have an Intel iMac running 10.4.9. I have 2 Windows XP-based PCs. One Windows PC and the iMac are connected wirelessly. The other Windows PC is on wired Ethernet. On both the Windows PCs and iMac the firewalls are disabled. The machines are on the same IP subnet (192.168.2.x)
    Windows file sharing is turned on via the Mac's System Preferences. In addition, I've created an SMB share to another volume using SharePoints. I also set the SMB workgroup of the of the machines to a common name. Likewise, I have shared directories on both Windows PCs.
    My problem is that I can't access the shares on the iMac from the Windows PCs and vice versa. The Windows PCs can see each others' shares.
    One thing I've noticed is that I can't ping the iMac from a Windows PC, but I'm not sure if that service is normally running on the iMac. I can ping both of the Windows PCs from the iMac. I can see the computername of the iMac in the Windows Network list of workgroup computers, but when I click on it, I get a message that it's not accessible and that the network path was not found. I don't see the Windows PC's workgroup in the Mac's Network browser via the Finder at all. I also can't connect using the "Connect to Server command" and directly entering the IP address as "smb://192.168.2.2/sharename" I just get the "Connecting..." window and the candycane progress bar indefinitely.
    This all worked at one point with a previous router, but I didn't use any sharing for a month or two and switched routers. But basically the network's config is the same.
    Any ideas how to get sharing working in either direction?
    Thanks,
    Judd

    Well I've double checked and under the Sharing preference, if I click on the Firewall option (tab), it says "Firewall Off" with a "Start" button below it. I also tried turning it on (with the various services that I want to enable checked in the list below it) and turning it back off. Same result: I can see the iMac in the Windows network neighborhood (and the iMac's iTunes shared library name in iTunes) but if I try to access the share or the iTunes library, the Windows PC fails to connect.
    Is there some command I can issue in Terminal to better see what state the firewall is in?
    Yes, I have a wireless router, through which the Windows PC and iMac are connecting.
    Thanks,
    Judd

  • I have two computers - iMac and PC.  What is the EARLIEST version of Acrobat I can run on each system.  I am running 10.9.2 on iMac and Windows 8 on PC.  Thanks.

    I have two computers - iMac and PC.  What is the EARLIEST version of Acrobat I can run on each system.  I am running 10.9.2 on iMac and Windows 8 on PC.  Thanks.

    Adobe currently supports Acrobat X and Acrobat XI for Mac and Windows platforms. More details about base system requirements can be found here: Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and the changes to these requirements with the product updates can be found here : Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes. So the earliest version would be Acrobat X and the Latest would be Acrobat XI.
    Please let us know if that answers your query.
