Possible conversion of Mac VSCO presets to Windows?





Hello everyone! Hope you're all healthy.   
  
So long story short here. I've recently made the move from a 2016 Macbook Pro to the Dell XPS 9500. I use the VSCO Film Pack 05 very largely within my image editing workflow. It's become pretty fundamental.   
  
I have no issues with the presets on mac. I have my Licence Key, multiple downloads of the software and files. And I tried to copy and paste everything onto the PC. It, kinda works? But it tells me the profiles are missing. Which results in some pretty unusual tones and the like.   
  
I assume this is because the camera profiles cannot be opened or used on PC as they are Mac files?   
  
I'm basically wondering, is it at all possible to take everything from Mac and make it work the same on the PC? As If I downloaded it for mac originally.   
  
Failing that, does anybody have pack 05 for windows they'd be willing to link me too? Like I say, I still have my licence code!   
  
Any advice would be massively appreciated, folks.   
  
Have a great day!
The profiles need to be moved as well. They're the same on Mac and PC. All the installer essentially does is place the files once you've authenticated. They're most likely in the CameraProfiles folder  in CameraRaw inside Adobe in your hidden AppData folder on PC and need to go into ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles folder on Mac, where ~ is you user folder. Hold down the Option/Alt key to have Library show in the Go menu in Finder.

if you need osx get a mac. getting osx on a pc is very hard and/or illegal. it will also not run as well as it will on a real mac. so my vote is for the macbook pro. well, transferring your data and transferring that and your settings are different. data, such as music, letters, video, pictures can burn to disk or copy/move to external drive. installed applications won't go, you'll have to reinstall from disk or download. on the other hand, you can transfer settings, favorites etc. use files and settings transfer wizard. or laplink software and cable. to migrate from qw2002 to qmac you will absolutely need access to windows in some form (windows pc or run windows on the mac using a virtual machine), as the converter from qwin can only handle files that are from qw2004 and newer, and ideally, from qw2010 and newer.

you can find copies of qw2004 and qw2013 for free from quicken here:
https://www.quicken.com/support/how-and-when-use-intermediate-version-convert-older-versions-quicken Try to xcopy the data over to the external drive.



start>run>type "cmd">hit ok  

In dos window type "xcopy /?" this will show you all of the parameters or switchs used in xcopy.



If you are not famaliar with dos you may want to seek out a friend who is. Have you tried enabling the Stero Mix function in the Sound options within Control Panel? I'm assuming you are using Windows 7 here, so go into Sound and the the tab that says Recording. Right click and choose "Show Disabled Devices". Then right click on the option that says Stero Mix and choose Enable.  

From there download Audacity for free from the internet (or alternatively use whatever program you currently use) and start recording from any source playing from your computer. in mac os x 10.5 leopard (and previous versions like 10.4 tiger and 10.3 panther) there are several ways to un-install applications.
heres a couple
a. simply drag the application to the trash, (you might need to enter your password) and empty the trash. bam! thats all!

or

you can download a program that completely erases the entire program from your system (because the programs sometimes leave something called preference files, in your system, so when their installed again, you'll have them back the same way it was before)

b. download the application "app delete" (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31123), download it, install it, and open it. *it will open, and all you have to do is drag any application you want to uninstall to the icon in the dock. (you might have to enter your password), and thats it!

as for keyboard shortcuts, i know, they can get confusing, but its really just down to how much you use them.

here is the direct apple link to their keyboard shortcuts for mac os x

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459

lets take a shortcut for example.. such as this one 

option-shift-command-delete - which empties the trash without you needing to confirm it (it'll just empty it immediately)

this is the keyboard layout on mac's
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/hardware/developer\_notes/macintosh\_cpus-g4/12inchpowerbookg4/art/040945021715\_06.gif

option - is the 'alt' button on your apple keyboard.
shift - is the 'shift' button on your apple keyboard
command- is the command (is an infinity symbol) / apple logo (apple logo may or may not be there, depending on the keyboard you are using, but its still the same)
delete - delete key lol

press them together, and presto! trash is emptied!

theres the quick guide!

-ken. fax modems were developed decades ago. their design makes use of the fact that fax signals are merely audio tones sent along a normal telephone line, so re-designing a regular data modem to also be able to send faxes using the same phone capabilities was relatively simple.

these days you can buy a data modem either as an external box that connects to your computer via a port and cable, or as a card you can install in a pci or pcie slot. then you connect it to a phone line. becasue the addition of fax capabilites became so easy and commonplace, almost all data modems actually include that feature and are sold as fax modems. the drivers supplied with them allow your computer to use either type of service. many people do not install one of these because they have no intention of using a modem on a phone line - they prefer much faster data rates available by connections though the internet. so, unless they need fax abilities, nobody uses them anymore.

your interest seems to be mainly sending (and receiving?) faxes, and perhaps not even trying to use a data modem. current versions of windows make this really easy - you will not use your old winfax pro. windows includes all the tools you need to receive faxes in various ways, depending on whether you want your machine to always watch for incoming faxes, or only when you turn on the feature. for sending a fax it's even easier. windows always includes a system that makes a fax sending unit appear to be just another printer. you can "print" to that printer just as any other. when you do that, a window pops up to let you set a few parameters and then its sends the fax for you. it even includes a little utility to keep track of fax numbers that you can send to.

i used a fax modem infrequently on my last machine, and i really liked it. for one thing, the fax the recipient gets is really clean and readable, with no distortions or dirt specs caused by scanning. (actually, you can scan a document and then "print" it as a fax you send to someone.) but i used it rarely, and in my new machine there is no spare pci slot for the fax modem, so i never moved my old one to the new computer. [@jeff](/u/jeff), i have created an installation guide that might help you. i’d recommend you go back to square one and follow the guide from the beginning. good luck and let us know how you make out.

<https://slo-sleuth.github.io/tools/installingautopsyonmacos.html> We currently have all our machines still on Windows XP and have only just upgraded some with Office 2007.


Budget dollars just have been too cost prohibitive to upgrade all 1,000 of our workstations. At some point due to licensing and availability we will be forced to upgrade. 


The one thing I’ve noticed difficulty with right off the bat has been the ability to connect via RDP to a Windows Server 2008 box. Without some registry hacks/mods in XP this can be problematic if the server is set to the newest (and more secure) RDP protocol. Windows 7 doesn’t have this issue. Hello,
