Can I import CS5 Illustrator files that were created in CS5 for Windows to CC on MacBook Pro?

I have some logo designs that were done in Illustrator CS5 on a PC. Can those files be imported into
CC Illustrator on MacBook Pro or will I need to recreate or perhaps import into CS6 first?

... but be careful about fonts.
In case you used PC PostScript fonts, you'll need those in Mac versions.
Other font formats than OpenType might also cause trouble with special characters.
With logos you might want to convert type to outlines before moving the files to the Mac. You won't be able to edit the text then.

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

How can I open and edit files that were developed and published by ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access.

How can I open and edit files that were developed and published via ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access. The HD containing the files cannot be accessed. I want to be able to download the published files to be edited in iweb?

You CAN'T download published files and then edit them in iWeb because iWeb can't open them - it has no import facility so is unable to open any html or css files - a previously published site.
You can download these files yes, but you'll need to use them as a guide or to cut and paste text from there whilst you re-build your site in iWeb.
The only other way is to download the files and then open them with an html editor such as TextWrangler or use one of the other web design programmes out there that is capable of importing html and css such as Dreamweaver of Flux 4.
These are your only alternatives as iWeb can't import and if you want to continue to use iWeb, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch. If you do just remember to back up your domain.sites file this time around - it is found under your User/Library/Applicaion Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer. Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
spooling".
I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
"Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
bank statement.
So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
TO PRINT THEM.
NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I updated

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I downloaded the latest update for iphoto.

You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

How can I play Power Point DVDs that were created on my mac 7-10 years ago?

I cannot play DVDs that were created 7-10 years ago using Power Point for Mac.

What do you mean Keynote "son't open the DVDs"? That doesn't make sense. It's not up to Keynote to open the DVDs. The file that are ON the DVDs, yes. The DVDs, no. What kind of files are they, exactly?
Try downloading Open Office and see if you can open them with Impress, the presentation program included with the Open Office package.
If that won't work, you can get a 1 month trial of Office365 from Microsoft. It's $9.99 a month after the trial ends.

FLASH CS6 CAN NOT IMPORT CS6 ILLUSTRATOR FILES

The developers of Flash professional CS6 are lazy! My computer must be really stupid, because it seems, for a new program, they have just copy pasted code from CS5.5, resulting in an error when ever I try to import illustrator files from CS6 that reads "Illustrator documents saved in versions of illustrator greater than CS5 can not be imported into flash CS5.5" I HAVE BLOODY FLASH CS6 NOT FLASH CS5.5 YOU BLUBBERING BUFFOON!!!! *throws books across room*
How can this problem be solved because it is looking like buying this was a waste of money, as I can't import basic files from illustrator CS6 that I use in my CS6 program which is essential to getting my major work done (which is due on the 12 of August). DON'T YOU DARE SAY BUY CS5!!!!!!!

the only way it helped me was download portable version of adobe illustrator cs5 (copy and paste from portable ai cs5 into flash cs6)

Can't import this illustrator file? distorts

Trying to import this file into flash as I need to zoom in
and out of the image but when I import it, it just distorts the
elements for some reason. am I doing something wrong? I've tried
exporting it for illustrator as a swf or an ai file but still no
joy?
http://www.viva360.com/paper_bags.ai
thanks in advance to anyone that has any ideas.

Illustrator and Flash are mostly not compatible. You will
almost always have problems when importing Illustrator files into
Flash. The only thing you can try is to save your Illustrator file
to an older format (Illustrator 8 or older; 5 is preferable). You
may lose some effects. But so what? You will lose them in Flash
anyway.
I gave up on importing AI into Flash years ago. The real best
solution is to make your original graphics directly in Flash or in
a more Flash-compatible program like Freehand.

How can I restore the library & files that were previously on my Nano?

Here's what happened... I hooked the Nano up to my computer at work to listen to it & charge it, but could not click on any of the music. Somehow I ended up with a prompt to "update the library" with a "yes" or "no" choice. I thought updating the library meant that the files on my Nano would create a list on the work computer's empty library so that I could play the files from my Nano. I did not expect it to transfer any files!!!! There was NO WARNING THAT IT WOULD ERASE INFORMATION!!!!! What then happened was horrible. The empty library on my work computer overwrote my Nano!!!!!! So now I have lost all of my files that I was planning to listen to on my flight to Spain tomorrow. I have been searching desperately to try to restore the files on my Nano, but have not been able to find an answer. I was planning to learn Spanish from the files on my Nano during my flight there! Now the Nano has wasted the money I spent on the Spanish CD's, the Nano and the ridiculously expensive & numerous separate accessories! This incident has really made me hate the Nano (which was given to me as a Christmas present). It has caused me nothing but pain & expense in buying junk for it and now trying to recover files without any good information on the Apple website! Why????? I thought Apple was user friendly before this Nano!

I'm sorry that you didn't read the manuals but that's the way it works:
Copying songs from your iPod to your computer
"The iTunes library on your computer holds all the songs you've encoded from your CD collection or purchased from the iTunes Music Store. With default settings, iTunes automatically copies the songs in your library to your iPod. When you use your iPod as a hard disk, you can't see the songs iTunes copies to your iPod in the Finder or My Computer. This is normal. Using the Finder or My Computer, you can't copy these song files from your iPod back to iTunes or to any other computer. The synchronization between your iPod and your computer is always one way: from iTunes to iPod.
If you've erased the music library on your computer, there's no way to use the Finder or My Computer to copy the songs from your iPod to reconstitute the library on your computer. One solution is to encode the songs from your CD collection again, then sync your new library with iPod. If you purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store and didn't back them up, there's no way to download them again. You'll have to buy new copies of the songs."

I need to open pagemaker 5 files that were created on the Mac.

I downloaded Indesign cs4 but it blows up when I try to open the pagemaker file. Can anybody tell me how to make this work or should I be using a different program?

Thanks for the reply but how would you unembedd the graphics if you
can't open the document?
That's why you (um, I) need to keep your dead tech around; the only way to unembed the graphics is to open the document in the app that created it. Quite often, when I need to resurrect a dead PageMaker doc, I have to use the importer in PM 7 to extract the stories. I don't need to do so too often, but I'm quite glad I kept the old stuff around when a client shows up with something ancient.
It's more critical for me, actually, because a fair number of the old translations we've kept in our archive that were made that long ago used terribly obscure and/or modified T1 fonts for which I have to write javascript codepage converters in ID. If I couldn't open up the old files easily, then doing a proof of the conversion process would be a painful, time-consuming, eyesight-destroying job.
Can you tell me about your non profit and the refugees that you work with?
Well, I don't really work direcly with refugees myself, I spend a lot more time working with their writing systems. However, if you want to learn about the organization for which I spend my time juggling Burmese and Amharic and et cetera, direct your browser to www.irco.org. There is a great deal going on here that has nothing to do with the translation department.

Help with working on Word files that were created in Framemaker and saved as PDF

Please help. I was given a pdf from a vendor that they created in Framemaker. The pdf was 2+MB. I saved it as a Word doc so I could delete sections that I don't need for our folks but the file is saving at over 20MB (after I deleted a lot of pages from it). It is so large that I cannot even email it. I've tried to zip it and also convert it back to a pdf and in both cases the file only decreases by a few hundred KB while still leaving it over 20+MB. Any idea how I can work this file to take the sections I need without it creating such a large file size? Thank you. Brian

The contractual requirements between the vendor and your company may be the key. The contract may or may not discuss whether the vendor's permission to modify the material includes an obligation to make the documents usable. "Usable" may be construed to mean providing original files. If the vendor is required to provide originals, they may or may not be required to provide them in a common format, like MS Word, rather than the proprietary FrameMaker format they use. Their providing a PDF may completely satisfy their obligation; your lawyers may be helpful here.

How can I import .doc word files into Pages from Word 2008 for Mac?

I find that if I try to insert a .doc document from the earlier version of Word for the Mac, it works fine, but if I try to insert a doc which has been saved in "compatibility mode" as a .doc in Word 2008, Pages doesn't recognise it. I didn't even know there was any difference in these two kinds of .doc
Does anyone know a workaround?

I can open them as I go using an intermediate app (Word for choice as presumably it preserves more of the formatting than TextEdit), then I can just copy and paste the text into my Pages doc. In my particular case this is tolerable, but I have a friend who I assist sometimes who I know has a lot of these docs and so I wanted to find a solution for him before he asked me!
It just seems quite different from what Apple appear to be offering... I started this thread really to see if anyone knew the cause of this anomaly, which seems to be a fairly small bug in Pages. Anyway I think I will not get any joy trying to understand the difference between the two kinds of .doc documents (in OS9 I would have guessed it was the 8-character file signature that differed, but I don't think this works in OSX) so I will stop wasting bandwidth and set this to "answered".

Import .VCS file that works fine in Outlook for Windows

No calendar events have been added to your iCal calendar." Does anyone know what could be causing the error?
