Transfer from Mac to Windows VM
Hey all,.
I tried to find out what it looks like a FAQ, but could not get the search form to return an appropriate thread.
I have an XP VM on macintosh (Fusion) I want to copy and install Windows. Is it as simple as copy
on all files in a directory and then he vmdk pointing to VMWare player on this directory and asking him to open a virtual machine?
Thank you for advice or a pointer to a previous discussion.

Pretty much, Yes.
Make sure to close the comments before you copy - not simply suspended. Copy the entire directory/folder. You * may * need to change specific to the host/hardware devices (such as serial, floppy drive ports). Power and see if there is any warning messages / devices. Other than that, yes it should work properly... which is one of the great advantages of virtual machines!

I need to be able to back up and move files from my Mac to my machine to Windows platform. My Seagate external drive is no longer recognizable on the Mac, and it was never recognized by the Windows machine.

By "all text" are you referring to and the titles or captions? This kind of thing can vary according to the what fonts are available on each computer. If so, you will need to acquire the corresponding fonts for each computer.

Move from MAC to Windows, serial key
My serial key would still be valid if I move from MAC to Windows, because my serial code/key does not work when you enter on my windows computer to redownload my program, so I can work on an art that I have towards people. > O <
If you had bought Mac version serial number, you can not use it to activate on the Windows computer.
However, you can opt for the swap of the platform for the number, so that you can use the serial number to activate on your Windows computer.
It is a process of time and serial number won't change for Mac again.

crossgrade from mac to windows
Is it possible to make an extension of mac to windows. I had Acrobat X Pro on my Mac. No not the Mac more and wish to use it on my Windows machine. I had a conversation with someone a while ago, and they told me there is no way to do it, and I have to buy the latest version of Acrobat, which is a subscription that I'm not interested.
Thank you
Daniel
Extension, you will need to run the current version. If a subscription, the right to crossgrade is automatic. If it's a permanent license, you will need to contact Adobe. Surely you can not crossgrade old Acrobat X.

Hello
I didn't really know where to ask this question, but I'm a recent windows user and had a mac with the Adobe CS6 (Production Premium). I wanted to know if there is a way I can transfer my sequel to my PC instead?

Files and settings transfer from XP to Windows 7
I backed up my XP pc files by using the USMT. I just installed windows 7 pro on that same pc and I do not see an available USMT to restore the settings. I did not use the transfer function. Is it possible to restore my files and settings that are from my XP pc currently stored on an external drive to my Windows 7 environment? the function of easy transfer on Windows 7 does not recognize the file created by the USMT.
See the following topics:
User State Migration Tool 4.0 user's Guide
USMT is really intended for migration from the company. For stand-alone users, you must use Windows Easy Transfer during the migration to Windows XP:

ANIMATE EDGE: Files from MAC to WINDOWS
How to open the source files models animate Web sites created using edge in windows? since they are probably mac!
When I unzip the files, it says that the file already exists for some files, like images etc. amd late charge only two files named
__MACOSX and
978-1-4302-4350_SourceCode_ch01
When I try to load it directly from lively edge, nothing appears, for the zipped folder as well as the unzipeed one.
Thank you
Download page link for the source of the example site:
http://www.Adobe.com/devnet/edge-animate/articles/showcase-sample-files.html
As test, you can download this simple project file, unzip it and double-click the .one file? I would like to know what is happening?
You are using the latest version of edge animate? What does say on the splash screen when you first launch it?
Another way to open a project should simply open edge animate; go to file > open and navigate to the source .html or .a file to open it. Have you tried this method with any of the files you noted above?
Another scenerio may be related to Windows user accounts? You are an authority for the two machines you mention? You don't have administrator rights to run the associative files. One solution is to right-click on a project .an file, and in the list of context menu, there should be an option to run as administrator? Try this option.
Last resort - uninstall computer and reinstall from your cloud of Creative Adobe free.
Hope some of these help

settings of electronic mail of transfer from xp to windows live mail
(1) yesterday, I transferred the information on my old computer with xp operating system on my new computer with the windows operating system 7. I used the easy transfer cable and software. All files and the e-mail settings transferred to the new computer with the exception of my wife's e-mail account and all of its files in the outlook express account. I need to know how can I transfer records of Live mail e-mail. There were two e-mail accounts in outlook express. My mail transferred and direct files (and folders) synchronized eyerything in storage folders. Profile of my wife has not transferred, nor has any records.
(2) in outlook express when I opened my e-mail foler has asked that my login and password and my wife and I had different identities. When I logged in, only my folders (storage records) have been posted. Now on live mail all my files storage are still displayed even if my wife is to check his e-mail. How can I set up direct mail so my wife and I have unique identities and when we opened our e-mail accounts that our individual records are displayed.
If you want a better answer, thank you for posting this question in the Windows Live forum.

Easy transfer from Xp to Windows 7 32. Not all profiles appear as a choice.
I'm migrating a person from a computer with XP 32 bit to a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit.
