Can you see windows files on the mac side

Macbook pro is having bootup issues. Can the files on the windows (bootcamp) side be seen from the mac side?
Need to backup some files on the windows side and can not boot up.
Thanks,
zPeter

As Csound1 has stated, MacOS should have read only access to your Windows partitions, so as long as you haven't damaged the partitions too severely, you should be able to read the files, and therefore copy them off to another drive as a backup.
Since your system won't boot, only you can tell if the partition is damaged bad enough that the MacOS system can't access the data on that partition.

  • Can I see PDF files in the Imac through AppleTV?

    Many times I deliver a presentation.
    If I buy Apple TV, can i see PDF files in the Imac on the screen?

    Thanks for the reply.
    "You can't mirror your iMac through Apple TV.
    If you have an iPad 2 or 4S you can use airplay mirroring to show PDF's."
    Is there any other ways?
    I have Imac, Ipod touch, Iphone 4 but do not have ipad2 and 4S.

  • Can I save a file to the Mac HD and, automatically, also save it to Dropbox?, Can I save a file to the Mac HD and, automatically, also save it to Dropbox?

    Hi everyone,
    Can I save a file to the Mac HD and, automatically, also save it to Dropbox (or another cloud-based storage)?
    What I would like to do is to have my Mac HD duplicated in the Cloud?
    Is this possible?
    Many thanks!
    Bryan

    Dear dwb
    Many thanks for responding!
    I am not that technical and I would be grateful if you could continue to help, please.
    On the first bit - the Dropbox folder - this I understand - I have been using Dropbox for a number of months and it is fine.
    The linking folders outside Dropbox does sound like it is what I would like to do but I don't know how to do it!
    May I give an example? 
    If I have a folder on my Mac HD in Documents entitled "Tax" (nightmare!!) and in the folder I have some subfolders (e.g. 2011, 2012 and 2013) and in the subfolders I have files such as "Propeties", "Travel Days", "Interest", etc.
    I would like to duplicate this folder (Tax) and all of its subfolders and files in Dropbox and AUTOMATICALLY update the Dropbox files everytime I update the file on the HD.
    Is this possible with Symlink?  And if so, how do I do it?
    I really appreciate your help!!
    Many thanks,
    Bryan

  • Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

    Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
    I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
    I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

    Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
    One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

  • Can you see a image in the Get Info Window?

    After upgrading to Mt LIon and while using CS6, I can't see image previews in the Get Info window.  Can't see images in the upper left corner of the get info window, so I can't make a selection and then do a copy- paste like I could do before I upgraded to Mt Lion with CS6.  I want to be able to paste a image of the subjects in my folders..  IE folder of Panda Bears would have a image of a Panda showing on that folder.  Folder of The Great Wall would have a image of the Great Wall on the Folder of Great Wall pictures.  This has always worked for the past many years I have used a Mac and Photoshop.  I started with Photoshop 2.  All my photo folders are represented by images so I have a good idea of what is contained in each folder.  Now after 2 weeks in China, 20 folders are represented by 10-11-12, 10-12-12, 10-13-12, 10-14-12 and so on.  Shows me nothing but dates.  I have tried saving as Jpeg, Tiff, and PAD, and still can't  do a copy-paste in the Get Info window.   Apple says it is a Adobe problem, Yesterday Adobe told me it is because I am uusing a Nikon D800 and Adobe does not have a  patcdh for the NEW Nikon camera.  I then tried using my Nikon D2Xs, Nikon D3X, Nikon 800 and even my wife's D50 and none of these camera allow me to copy paste the thumbnail image to the clipoboard like I have been able to do for YEARS...   I can see images in a folder in Bridge, but the images dont show in my desktop folders.IE, a folder on my desktop with 200 pictures only show with words/ numbers/letters NO IMAGES appear in the folders on the desktop.  On some folders the folders in a folder don't show up as Folders either.
    Can Any one help me.  Same thing happens on my MACPRO w 16 GB Ram and on my 17" MacBook Pro.

    I can't blame you for saying that.
    Adobe is the clear owner of the responsibility to make functional their product that they claim is compatible with your operating system.  Adobe is the one who sold you the product.
    I just went looking for what Adobe has said about Mountain Lion compatibility, and they both list Mountain Lion as compatible and include such language as that on this page (emphasis mine):
    Adobe and Apple have worked closely together to test Adobe® Creative Suite® 5, 5.5 and CS6 editions and individual products for reliability, performance and user experience when installed on Intel® based systems running Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8). Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop® (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues.
    I suggest that Adobe needs to get on the ball and get this fixed.  The time for user patience is over.
    If someone from Adobe is saying "Adobe can't fix it" then that someone is at the wrong authority level and/or is thinking on the wrong level.
    This is business and the business is making products that have value and are sold to people who perceive that value.  Adobe doesn't get to keep selling products that don't work while standing on principles that "it's someone else's problem".   Customers don't care why it doesn't work. 
    It's obvious to a child that if Photoshop CS5 can write the proper things to the Apple OS so that the thumbnails are visible, that there's something Adobe could do to fix it.
    But EVEN IF this were something only Apple could fix, that Apple hasn't fixed it yet says pretty loudly that Adobe isn't making the right overtures to Apple for their mutual benefit.  Adobe, are your executives so greedy that they can't grease a few palms of their friends over at Apple to put some priority on this?  What's the problem here?  Has Adobe actually forgotten how to do business?
    -Noel
    P.S., You should know that I don't use a Mac and am personally having no issues with seeing proper thumbnails and previews on my Windows 7 and 8 systems, since the software that does that isn't from Adobe.

  • How can I open 'MPEG' file on the Mac?

    Hi! I'm a new user of imac. Before now, I used to use PC.
    Most of mac tools are strange for me on the Mac. T^T
    At this time, when I tried to click 'MPEG' files on the mac, the movie could not be opened.
    The window popped up and said,
    'The file is not a movie file.'
    but, When I opened 'MPEG' files on the PC, there were nothing problem to see.
    How can I open and import 'MPEG' files on the Mac? Plz help me

    You may need to purchase Apple's MPEG-2 Playback Component (it's included with FCP and DVD-SP). Also try opening the file with VLC Player or MPEG Streamclip.

  • Can't see windows computer on my mac book

    how to network windows pc and mac book on connected same router ( network ) . From PC I can see all the another PC but macbook. In Macbook nothing... Please help
    Thanks
    Laxman

    There's no firewall on the PC , and the folders are set for sharing. Problem I have is that when I look in the Go Menu in the finder there is no "Connect to Servers" option shown
    If I click on the Network icon in the side bar of a finder window, I do see "Servers' (which contains my Mac only), "Workgroup" (which is empty and I think was where the PC folders used to show up) and "My Network" (also empty).
    I can Ping the PC and trace the route to it using Network Tools, so it appears that the TCP/IP connectivity is there.

  • Can you unsync email photos with the mac finder?

    I have all my email accounts linked in the Mail application on both my macs, and instantly the mac syncs up every photo in my emails and puts them in the "all images" folder in the finder, I would rather not everyone see the photos in my email just by opening that folder, is there a way to unsync it from putting all the photos into my computer, i want them only in my email.

    You can use the camera connection kit to copy photos to the iPad's Photos app, and it supports SDXC cards - this page says :
    SDXC (supported only when not formatted as ExFAT)
    As long as the card has a DCIM directory off its root with the photos and videos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus extension then they should be recognised and be able to be copied to the Photos app. Photos and videos that are imported via the kit can be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app

  • Where can you see discount movies of the week listed?

    supposedly these are already available in Canada but i can't see where the discounted movies are listed.

    thanks... i see this on the US site but not on Canadian site. This is supposed to exist on the Canadian site as well. on the US site Ghost is the 99 cent movie but this movie is 3.99 in Canada?
    maybe it hasn't come to Canada yet? an article i read said that it was already in US & Canada and was now coming to the UK... maybe the article was in error.
    anyone know if Canadian store actually has 99 cent movies at this point?
