Mixture of Mac and PC to capture years of photos and video

Hi all.

I'm new on meadow and only use the features of base within Photoshop Elements.  My goal is to finally use boxes of photos and videotapes that fill my office closet in order to convey our family memories for our children and our grandchildren.  I spent my business computer use to the Macbook pro laptop and kept my HP desktop computer.  My hope is that I can use both computers to capture videos and photos and use one, or both, to edit final films and albums.  Is it desirable?  I would appreciate any suggestions and advice on how to proceed.

The MacBook Pro is a portable beginning 2010: 2 GHz Intel Core i7 computer; 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory.  I should increase the memory up to 8 GB?

HP desktop computer is a model 6267: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU; 8 GB RAM Q8300 @ 2.5 GHz; Windows 7 64 bit

I have separate external disks connected to two computers: The1.5TB for the HP disc is formatted in FAT32. the 3 TB drive related to the Mac is formatted Apple (Journal).  Suggestions on the best way to format disks for cross-use for capture and editing?

Thank you very much for your time and your expertise!

Rob

First, any drive that you use to work with the video must be in NTFS format. So I would like to pass this FAT32 drive as soon as possible.

Also - I did understand what you're asking. When you say "our family memories pass to our children and our grandchildren", do you mean making videos and save them as DVD... or something else?

Premiere Elements comes in a Mac and a PC version, it is so to you where you are going. But, if I had your equipment, I'd go with the Mac.

You can work on one or the other - but you cannot move projects back and forth between Mac and PC. It's one or the other.

Still, much depends on what format you intend to work in and what your existing video format is in. What kind of camcorder, it is saved and?

And, finally, what is your ultimate goal?

    Just download, install and activate using your serial number.  You are allowed to have the software installed and enabled on both machines.  If you do want to keep the original installation of backup you can turn it off by opening one of the programs and by selecting help-> Deactivate.

    Here's a general link for where you can find the download links...

    If you want a more direct link, you must name the software and version.

    If you need your serial number, you should be able to find it in your account Adobe online if you have registered the software when you install everything first.

  • sharing applications between mac and ipad pro

    When I double click on my iPad Pro, I saw a grey bar at the bottom which had Safari - of "of Howard Brazee computer.   When I opened it, Safari came with a web page, that I looked earlier today on Chrome.    I went to my Mac and saw that a Chrome icon left of the Doc, in the image of an iPad on it.  My cursor on it, I see that it says "Google Chrome - for iPad".

    I closed the app on my iPad Pro and started Safari on my Mac.  Then I repeated the double click and selected the iPad Pro.   It opened Safari with the previous tab and with this tab here (I'm in Chrome).    I tried to open some other applications forward on my Mac.   If it comes to mail, my iPad is going to open a mail but not find anything (I don't get mail on my iDevices).   I tried Photos and TextEdit and iBooks, but they did not speak with each other (and Safari appear on my iPad gray bar until I moved the focus to Chrome).   So I googled to find out how it works without success.   Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains what is happening here?

    What year and model Mac do you have?

    Depending on the year and model Mac you own if she runs the current iOS and OS X systems, you can see the features of continuity of OS X and iOS.

  • Just upgrade to 50GB, now how all of my pictures and videos on my Mac?

    I just upgrade my iCloud to 50GB plan.

    I want to be able to all back up on my iPhone and iPad so if something always happens to each device, everything can be recovered later. Also, I want to synchronize all my photos and videos, and downloaded pictures from my iPhone or iPad to the cloud, so I can't see that on my Mac and possibly transfer to my Mac to an external hard drive and delete them from the cloud. I'm not interested in putting all of my pictures and videos on all of my devices using photo stream. I transferred photos/videos on my Mac using the Image Capture on the Mac.

    1. under settings > iCloud > Photos I have iCloud, photo sharing power in order to make albums and share them with people. I have currently iCloud photo library on my iPhone is turned off. I turned it on and it says it has been downloaded 448 photos, although I have only 256 photos? What else is the download? It downloads photos from shared albums?

    2. to get what I want, there are other settings I need to turn on?

    3 will synchronize these photos/videos to any Mac with installed pictures that is connected to my iCloud account?

    Thank you.

    1 not sure, where the 192 difference comes from.  Monitor to see...

    2. make sure than iCloud as photo library & download on my photo stream are turned on, and successfully, you need to download to iCloud.

    3. Yes, photos/videos will be synchronized across all devices via iCloud.

  • MAC - impossible to find "Pictures folder" / Iphoto photo library and open the Iphoto Application at all

    Hi all

    I have Apple devices for a few years now, but I still find it difficult to understand the system. I want to put an end to that, so I finally registered.

    I try to look at the tutorials and read the forums, but I can't find concrete answers to my situation.

    First of all, in my application of Photos of my MacBook, I remove hundreds of photos and videos, then I go to recently deleted screen and I delete them all permanently.

    However my disk space is the same before under 'Storage' summary when I check "to about this Mac". I restarted the Mac and waited for days, the space does not release upward.

    Then I read in a forum and found the following answer:

    Your photos has not deleted because they still exist in iPhoto or Aperture, whatever you use. Photos saves disk space by creating links to the already existing files in iPhoto/Aperture, rather than duplicate. This means that if you want to delete a file, you must make sure that it has deleted all.

    If you can live without ever using iPhoto/Aperture once again, go to your Pictures folder and delete iPhoto Library and Aperture Library . In this way, the only copies of your photos will be those photos, and removing free space on your computer.


    The questions are the following:


    (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

    (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

    (3) another curiosity, when I try to open IPHOTO, the following message appears:

    And then after trying the 'search App Store':

    I did not need to actually use my iPhoto or App Photos in particular, I do not yet fully understand the difference. I want to just my photos to be stored in ONE place and when I take hours to remove them permanently, get my rear space and do not learn, they still exist elsewhere (iPhoto library).

    Also please help me understand what am I supposed to do with the iPhoto application now that gives me these error messages.

    Thank you very much!

    (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

    The images folder must be manually added to the sidebar.

    Open the Finder preferences:

    • Click anywhere on the empty office to bring the Finder to the front, then go to the Finder menu in the main menu bar, open "Preferences".
      Click the tab of the sidebar and add all the items to the sidebar, you want to see.

    Now, open the images in the sidebar folder in the Finder.  Is your photo library in iPhoto there?

    Then drag it to an external drive to make a backup copy, then delete it and empty the trash.  Accidentally delete the photo library.

    (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

    No, the photos in your library of Photos and the iPhoto library are separate files.  It was created by hard links.

    Hard links are new files, which use the same entry in the table. They store the contents in blocks of same on the disks, so the entries are not duplicated, but if you remove one of the linked files, the others will remain. The storage will be released, when the last linked file has been deleted.

    See this link: Six colors: the (hard) link between iPhoto and photo

  • audio and video out of sync in first pro cc 2015, player QT video on a mac mini

    So, I use Adobe Premiere pro cc 2015 to change a screen capture video recorded with quicktime player. I'm on a mac mini with OS X el capitan, and it was my first time using first (so I probably just doing something wrong because I do not know the program, but anyway, I imported the video into the first, (it's a .mov file format) and the video and audio are out of sync) so I thought ok, I can simply detach the audio, move it above, the re - attach it, right? so I found a part of the video that has been easy to match the audio and video, and I lined up. Everything was perfect until I went to other parts of the video and realized that they were always out of sync. Apparently, the video is at a different speed or format or something as the audio, and even if I have lined up on the one hand, the other parts are always out of step. I looked at how to fix, I messed with the project settings, then tried to change a .mov to a mp4 (because a mp4 file that I already have on the computer was functioning very well in first) and finally, as a last effort, I downloaded version 2014 so and NEITHER VERSION WORK they both the same number.

    If someone can please help me I WILL BE so HAPPY and thanks a lot in advance

    I am really sad because I'm upgrading to use iMovie (ugh) and I was so excited for the first time and now it is messed up, and I'm really disappointed.

    If it makes a difference, the microphone that I use is a blue snowball ice I bought a week ago (WEEK AGO) haha

    None of the parameters of creation, or QT player or something that might help is very much appreciated.

    Thank you, Owen

    Thank you very much!! I finally found out with the help of the family, but I thank very you much for help!

  • LR running on Mac and PC with local copies?

    For some time now, I thought I want to be "Agnostic OS" in Lightroom. I like the program, but don't want to be to the top of the Cove, if my Mac or PC dies. For the past few years, I was storing my photos and videos in a DropBox folder on a HARD drive and pointing the location just LR, but with the catalog and previews in a folder non-DropBox on a SSD. As such, the download of photos and videos, but the Lightroom Catalog and previews are not. I don't want to change this arrangement, preferring to have only the pictures/videos in the cloud. What I DON'T want to do, is have LR on both PC and Mac generate local previews of the files the. It's pretty easy to do, but I don't want to lose the changes made on one machine on the other. With the bottom of the road, so I have two questions main...

    1. am I correct that write metadata to the XMP sidecar files will ensure that changes to a RAW file on, say, the Mac will be reflected on the PC, and that this happens automatically (i.e. LR is smart enough to pick up the .xmp when you view a picture)?

    2. assuming I don't have LR - PC and Mac - LR open at the same time (and I'm sure that DropBox has completed synchronization), I am correct that the risk of corruption of files will be effectively nil (at least with regard to corruption caused by Lightroom)?


    To be clear, I don't have a different way of doing things (for example, the synchronization of the catalog itself). Unless the configuration above works absolutely not, this is how I prefer to do things.

    Thanks in advance.

    The only real way to do that is to put the catalog file and photos on an external HD and move the external hard drive from one computer to the other.

    1. am I correct that write metadata to the XMP sidecar files will ensure that changes to a RAW file on, say, the Mac will be reflected on the PC, and that this happens automatically (i.e. LR is smart enough to pick up the .xmp when you view a picture)?

    No, you're not correct.

    You must manually tell LR to read the metadata to the xmp sidecar files, Lightroom will not do that automatically. Forget once, and your Lightrooms are out of sync. In addition, some information may not be stored in XMP, such as your historical edition, collections, picking up flags, virtual copies and a few other things.

    2. assuming I don't have LR - PC and Mac - LR open at the same time (and I'm sure that DropBox has completed synchronization), I am correct that the risk of corruption of files will be effectively nil (at least with regard to corruption caused by Lightroom)?

    The risk of file corruption is NEVER zero no matter what system you use. However, it is for the majority of cases, very very small. Again, this means that you do not make a mistake somewhere along the way (and the same Dropbox does its job without problem).

    I am entitled to an upgrade, as I have CS3 I want to buy a new mac and install the upgrade on the new computer. How can I do this?

    If you get two new machines and the CS3 allows you to get the price reduced for a year then you should certainly pursue it.  However, I always recommend people to try before you buy.  When you get the new machines install the trial version and make sure that it works for you correctly.  Once you have confirmed it correct functions, then you can purchase the subscription.

  • Install CS5 on Mac and Windows

    Hi all

    I have an Adobe CS5 Design Premium I use for 2 years now. Recently, I switched to a Macbook Pro with Bootcamp, which allows me to dual-boot Windows. My CS5 license allows me to double-installation on BOTH Mac and Windows on the same computer laptop operating systems (technically, I don't want to install on separate computers). If Yes, how should I do so? It seems that my installation DVD for Windows only.

    Appreciate clarification. Thank you.

    Your serial number is only good for Windows, as well as the version of the software that comes with it.

  • Why my notes sync between my Mac and iPhone?

    I have my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks and my iPhone is running iOS 10.0.1 and used to synchronize my notes! Is it because of the huge gap in operating systems? I SHOULD update my Mac to Mac OS 10.10 + for this problem? Thank you!

    In order to synchronize Notes between your Mac and iPhone, you must configure iCloud > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

    But this requires macOS Sierra 10.12, the latest available version and the last iOS available for your iPhone.
