Hello everyone. My name is Lisa, and I am a photographer. I have a PC with Photoshop CS2. Recently I bought a matte screen 15" MBP. I purchased it so I could work on the go, and currently need to be able to edit jpg files between both machines. I have a Maxtor EHD. When I plug it into the MBP and try to save an edit on the EHD, the 'save' option isn't highlighted. That's the first issue.
Secondly, my iPod is not recognized. It charges, but iTunes and the MBP do not recognized it. I have spent hours trying to figure this out, searching on the Apple site and various forums but so far no solution.
Next, I have a Motorola Q. I am trying to connect to the Q's internet connection and the MBP gives me a 'can't connect modem error' message...spent more time figuring that out..still no joy.
I was honestly happy with my PC but decided when I was going to get a laptop I should make the switch...and 2500 bucks later, I feel like I made the biggest financial blunder.
I hit a roadblock at every turn...and did I mention I had to get the Mac version of Photoshop because they wouldn't allow me another license so I could use it on both machines? UGH...this thing is like a money pit.
All that said, I am confident in time I will be happy with my decision..but right now I am experiencing one frustration after another.
If you got this far and can make time to offer any suggestions (the main issue is being able to use that EHD on both machines) I would be super happy.
Thanks!
