Converting windows jpg to mac jpg

I have a number of jpgs that I saved on a thumb drive when I was using a Windows machine. Now, I'm exclusively Mac, and my computers won't read these jpgs. Is there a way to get a Mac to open up these files or am I out of luck?

They are jpg files. They will open up on a Windows machine but not on my Mac. I double-clicked and preview wouldn't open them up. I've been emailing them to myself which is a pretty tedious process. Can't imagine what's wrong. Thumb drive works fine on the Windows machine.
Get yourself another thumb drive and test with that, or simply turn on file- sharing on the two machines and as long as they are on the same network you can get rid of the thumb drive all together.

What softwares will convert Windows programs to Mac?

I hear there are some softwares that can convert a windows-based program to Mac. I just got my new 13" Pro last week and I used to be a windows user. I have a copy of Real Flight G6.5 that I got when it came out. For those who don't know what Real Flight is, its a flight simulator to train people to fly basically any model R.C plane. I really enjoy the simulator and I hate the Windows OS. I find it unreliable and slow. The only thing its really good for is gaming. So my question is, does anyone know any decent software that can/will convert a Windows-based program to Mac format and how is the quality? By the way, my 13" Pro is all standard. 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive space, Intel core i5 with 512MB of dedicated video memory.

I know a couple guys who are very good with computers, better than me. One is a hacker about my age and the other is an actual computer technician for my old school and they both know of these types of softwares. Now I would like to run windows on a Mac, its not as good as an actual Windows-based PC. So I will actually build my own gaming desktop. Yes its more expensive but I got a Mac so I could use it as a Mac, not another problem for me and my parents. It will cost about the same as a 13" Pro but it will be able to run games better.
Thanks though!

Converting Windows programs for Mac?

I am considering purchasing a Mac, but have many expensive programs for Windows. I do not want to install Windows on my Mac. Is there a way to convert my Windows-compatible programs for my new mac computer?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
while it is not possible to simply 'covert' a Windows program so that it runs in Mac OSX, you might wanna have a look at Crossover for Mac http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ which lets you run certain Windows programs on a Mac without the need to install Windows.
Depending on what Windows programs you use this approach is the 'least invasive way'

Convert Windows ipod to mac; Can I go back?

I read the following on Apple's knowledge info.
"You can convert an iPod formatted for Windows into an iPod for Mac by using the iPod for Mac Software Updater on the Apple website. Note that once it is reformatted, it will only work with Macs. You need Mac OS 9.2 or Mac OS X 10.1 or later to reformat an iPod for Windows into an iPod for Mac."
Now my question is if I convert a windows ipod to a mac ipod and then can I go back later and convert it from a mac ipod back to a pc ipod?
Has anyone done it successfully? I understand it isn't officially supported.

If I use my daughter's PC (with iTunes & iPod software) to configure the iPod to be formatted to accept the PC data, I need to "reset" the iPod.
You mean to restore the iPod. Restore and reset are quite different operations.
This will erase everything which is no problem as I have all the music on my Mac and can reinstall - or can I?
Yes, you can.
When resetting the iPod on the PC does that operation make that PC the "master" and cause the iPod to want to be connected to it for updates of songs?
After you restore the iPod on the PC, it makes the PC the master.
Will that cause the iPod to think my Mac is not its "master" computer?
Yes, it will.
To use an iPod between these 2 computers and allow the iPod to be readable by both the Mac and the PC, you should restore the iPod using the PC and set the iPod to manual update. Check this: Using iPod with multiple computers

Convert windows Apps to Mac

I use boot camp to run windows on my MBP but it is slightly inconvenient and more importantly I do not like the OS. I will not go into details as it would take a while. I am aware of parallels but as I said I do not like the OS itself. In addition I like to play games some times and that is not supported in parallels (or at least most are not). I have attempted crossover but it does not run some of my high graphics games. I know that large gaming companies are able to convert windows games to OS X format without completely re-writing the game. I am wondering if this is possible for me to do as well (without spending tons of $). If there is another option like crossover I will go for that as well (as long as it is more compatible with most programs). However, an all out converter is the best thing.
thanks,
macguy3000
p.s. I know that this is easy when converting basic c or c++ programs via a mac compiler. I figure that a game could be re-compiled as well just with a much more complex compiler.

Whatever the options are, they're not likely to be something you can do yourself.
In order to recompile an application you're going to need the source code. For obvious reasons, most game companies are very protective of their source code and are not going to release it to you just so you can build your own copy. Even if they did (and assuming they're not some open-source gaming company), they'd likely a) charge a lot for it and b) place significant restrictions on what you can do with the code (e.g. non-disclosure agreements, non-compete/distribution agreements, etc.)
Add to that the fact that high-end games are typically tuned to specific graphics libraries such as DirectX which do not exist on the Mac, so you'd have to rewrite a lot of the graphics code in order to get it to work. That's what the commercial tools such as Cider offer - mostly-autonomous translation of the Windows-specific code into something that will work on the Mac.
Without the source code, the expertise, the tools, and the time, there isn't going to be anything you can do other than run the program in some kind of emulator or virtual machine (Crossover, Parallels, Fusion, etc.).
What you describe isn't a trivial tasks - if it were you'd see far more games being released in Mac-based formats that didn't need the VM engines to operate.

Converting Windows license to Mac...

I have a Windows license for Captivate 4 that I need to convert to Mac? Any ideas how to make that happen, other than purchasing another full license?

Hello There ,
I am afraid that Captivate 4 is not a supported version and there was no Mac version of Adobe Captivate 4.
Mac version came into picture after Captivate 5 .
Thanks and Regards

How to convert Windows mails to Mac mail

Hi - can anyone help me.
One of my colleagues are changing from Windows to Mac - clever guy i Think But now he will bring All he's Windows mails into MacMail. Now he's asking me if that is possible without buying expensive software. Is it better for him to use Entourage - his company have licence to version 2007 i think.
Hope some of you Can help us - thx

From Windows mail export to eml file (it's the default export format), I believe (it's been a long time) you need to select all mail in windows mail prior to export. Transfer the resultant file to your Mac, open Entourage and save the .eml file(s) to your hard drive Now, select one on the Desktop, and go to File -> Get Info. Under "Open With", change the application to Entourage. Click the button to change all. Now try dragging them into the Entourage window or double-clicking them to open them there. Once in Entourage if you want them in Mac Mail just open Mail and select File-> Import Mailboxes, and select Entourage.

Preview - displays a blank window instead of the jpg???

Installed SL yesterday, and now Preview displays a blank window instead of the jpg??? The jpg opens in iPhoto.
Anyone one else? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Ron...

Hi Ron,
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.Preview.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences.
Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, emtpy the Trash and restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, right or control click that image, then click Get Info.
In the Get Info window click Open with. You may have to click the discovery triangle.
Click the pop menu and select the application you want to open that image with... you may have to navigate to your Applications folder to make a selection.

Hi
I actually dont think its Lion (sorry i put that as couldn't remember) as not on that computer at the moment, its at home, I am at work. I know CS2 is compatable with whatever OS I am using because I can using CS2 indesign etc and I was able to use CS2 photoshop until I updated the Camino browser (I believe this is when it stopped working). I have CS5 but it wont work at all on my Powerbook G4.
I can send a message later with the OS I am using and maybe you can suggest other help? They told me in the MAC shop to try and get the installation discs. They also said I would be able to get these via Apple's 'media replacement programme' which I cannot find anyway! To be honest, I am not even sure getting the install discs will work but I'll try whatever I need to try and get Photoshop working on it again!
Thanks

I am trying to save a photoshop CS6 psd file to jpg and get an option jpg, jpg2000 or jpg stereo, I choose jpg and then Mac 256 colours, normal or interlaced. I just want regular jpg with a high resolution. What am I doing wrong, never had this problem

Your description of the issue is not clear:
What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"? It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
If the image is a 256-color GIF, remember the rule: GIGO = garbage in, garbage out.

Convert Photoshop Elements 7 for Windows to a Mac version?

I have Photoshop Elements 7 for Windows and just got a Mac. I was wondering if Adobe would convert Elements to a Mac version for a fee. Anyone had experience with that? Thanks. tialldplucy

For PSE it's not worth it. You'd have to pay the upgrade fee and right now you can buy the full version of PSE from amazon and so on for less than the upgrade.
