• Can I use Lightroom CC between two Macs with different versions of the operating system

  I have the CC for photographers. I keep my work to Dropbox LR catalog and access them from my MacBook Air laptop or my desktop iMac computer. Currently, two computers are running the same version of Mac OS. I think to upgrade the laptop for the new OS of Sierra, but because the office is older, I thought maybe not upgrade (it is near the minimum end of systems that can run Sierra). Can someone tell me if there is a conflict with the help of the LR catalog between two computers if they are not both running the same version of Mac OS. When the catalog is saved in the operating system that you are starting, it would still be compatible for use on the computer with the previous version of Mac OS? Thank you! Barbara

  If the machines use the same version of the software, then the files should be feasible in both machines.

  Hi @OHIMATAS,

  I see by your post that you are unable to network that is connected the printer to the Windows XP computer, but Windows 7 computer. I can help you with this.

  Make sure that the Windows XP computer is connected to the correct network name, not a guest or the other network.

  Print a configuration page to get the IP address of the printer.

  Print a Configuration Page.

  Try and access the printer on the Windows XP Embedded Web server.

  Type the IP address in the address bar of your web browser. (Internet Explorer)

  It loads the page Web has?

  If you are unable to access SAP of the printer, check the IP address on the computer to see if the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer IP. They must match to be on the same network.

  Go to start, type executer run in the start search box, type cmd, and then type ipconfig.
  Check the IPV4 address.
  Now, check the IPV4 address for the printer.
  Do the first 3 sets of numbers match?

  Try and ping the printer.

  In the same window, type ping printers (space between ping and IP address) IP address
  What are the results?

  Run the Wizard add printer in printers and faxes, if you were able to access EWS of the printer.

  Please provide detailed results if you're still having problems.

  Good day!
  Thank you.

• Kobo e-book sharing between two computers

  Hello

  I personally use Kobo on my phone, because basically it's free and why buy an E-Reader when my phone can do even more. Now I have also read books from Kobo on my laptop and he lay my father and I wanted to share my books with him. I followed these instructions:

  «""of course it is a legal way to share books from Kobo.»»» You need to download a free software from Adobe called Digital Editions (ADE). Once download you and open it for the first time, it will ask you to create an account. Simply choose a username and a password and allow your computer to that specific account. Now you need to re-download your purchased from Kobo books using the Adobe DRM Epub (blue) button which will be located next to each book that you have purchased. Know where downloaded files are on your computer and the book will be in this folder. It will be labeled something like URLLink.acsm. More you can write that if you want to enter the name of the book just keep the .acsm at the end. Now you open that file and it opens and loads the rise of ADE. You can open a book using the ADE on up to 6 computers and 6 devices. Your friend must now download ADE but when it opens for the first time, they must use the same username and password you made on your account ADE and allows it to their computer. Once you have both the same ADE account set up you can send each other the .acsm file and open in ADE. With ADE open and the Kobo is connected, it should appear in the devices of the ADE. All you have to do to get books on the Kobo is drag them to the icon of Kobo in the list view in ADE. Once you eject the ADE Kobo, Kobo will update and new books will be there. It's all legal and authorized by ADE and is explained by Kobo their own help section. ADE is also the software that you sue if you download library books, and it works in the same way however you can not share library books. They key is that all users who intend to share books must allow ADE to the same user ID and password. This means that you don't have to share your Kobo ID or password with anyone.«» » »

  The instructions worked, now books are on my dads computer, but they cannot be seen in Kobo because, frankly, this isn't a device its just software. Is it possible to get the books in his office of Kobo or should I give up and teach him how to use ADE?

  Just received a book from Kobo (free) with a browser web.

  When I launched Kobo Desktop, which we downloaded automatically on C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Kobo\Kobo Desktop Edition\kepub (under a ridiculous name).

  and I could read it on Office of Kobo.

  When I renamed it to "test.epub", I have read on a regular reader; It does not seem to have any associated DRM.  Indeed, it wasn't a Kobo editing at all, but a Gutenberg a.  However, I just experimented copies .epub (nonDRM) files in the same directory, and Kobo Desktop does not see them.

  So, back to your original problems.  It seems that your Kobo books are just automatically sync to the computer of your dad when he opens Kobo Desktop, and it should be able to read them on his office of Kobo.

  He won't be able to read the books that acquire you by other means on the Kobo desktop.

  Dear engineers,

  In our House, we have two new computers Windows 7 connect to Wired internet access.  Our friend came in hoping to play some MMO games with us on our connection (it has windows vista).  When we hung everything upward, by linking to our modem, his computer was visible on my husbands computer, but was visible on mine as a media device.  He could see the two computers, but could not get an internet connection and no viable ping.  We checked the network map and he showed my computer with one? related to my husband then connected to the internet.  Inside, there was an announcement indicating that the following devices are not displayed in the network map.  under of course was listed both our friends media device and the computer device.  I searched Control Panel and gave access to anyone on the login to my husbands system as long as me.  What happens if nothing else can I try to have its system you can connect to our internet?

  Thank you for your attention,

  Hello

  If a computer is not properly visible it generally means that sharing is not set correctly to match your system.

  You must also set your computers with the computer account of the friend as a user on your computer.

  Everyone does not mean everyone wishing to connect.

  If the accounts are presented only for John, Jill and Jack, setting in the folder with all permissions saves the effort of definition permission separately for John, Jill and Jack.

  Everyone isn't everyone group, only John, Jill and Jack.

  In general.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

• "Limited connection" when you configure the network between two computers XP.

  Original title: Configuration of the network connection

  Trying to establish a network connection between two home PCs., both running Windows XP Pro. Have been through the network on both PC Setup Wizard but, they still say limited, in fact no connection. I use an Ethernet cable between the two Crusader. If it is true what I'm doing wrong?

  Thanx Terry

  Old but good, networking tips from MVP Malke, MS:

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  The router configuration

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

  2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

   

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

  *****

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

  A. very important don't ask me what I have installed and what equipment I have in my PC? just give me a simple, easy answer. guess I'm no networking and I have two PCs. You teach me from scratch.

  B. do not use the more technical term. I hate it when someone using the most incredible technical term (its towers the response in the largest number of questions lol). just give me a simple answer.

  If you are eligible to condition or except my EULA :) go further and read my questions give me an answer simple and straight.

  Now please read the question below.

  Issues related to the:

  Q1. Which computer should I connect main internet connection (computer on which will better host win7 or Win XP)?
  
  Q2. What equipment I mean as a router, hub, NIC etc.? Please specify if these materials will be required for two PCs or for one.
  
  Q3. What type of Internet connection sharing will be better to be wired or wireless (cost, speed and security wise)?

  Q4. I need two IP address both part of connection to the internet between two PCs?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Zeff,

  You can make Windows 7 the main computer for internet connection and then host the Windows XP computer.

  For more information, see the article:

  Start here to set up a home network in Windows 7

  Networking of computers running different versions of Windows

  With respect to the equipment as a router, hub, NIC depend on the connection (wired or wireless) you want to use. You can also check with the ISP (Internet Service Provider) for more information.

  For more information, see the articles:

  What do I need to connect to the Internet?

  Setting up a network home

  Wired and wireless connections have great benefits, but they have also some disadvantages.

  Wired connection:

  > Faster and more robust than wireless connections but not so flexible when positioning of computers and devices because you must be connected to your Super Hub with an Ethernet cable.

  > Safer than wireless connections, but not so convenient for users of laptops and other mobile devices.

  WiFi connection:

  > Wireless! If you can connect when you want. However performance may be affected by walls, electric interference etc.

  > Ideal for users of laptops and other mobile devices, you can connect devices more but slower than wired connections

  > Very safe when used with higher level (WPA) encryption. You can connect your smart phone to your network wirelessly for faster browsing.

  However, unauthorized users could try to use your connection (which explains why security is so important).

  There are two types of IP addresses. external and internal. Both computers have the same external IP address but separate internal IP addresses. Each device in your network will have its own (internal) IP address. The external IP address, who sees the Internet is actually assigned to your router.

  Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.
