CS3 files made in Mac can open in Windows? s

If you save a Photoshop or Illustrator whatever file in Mac, can you open and work on it in Windows without any compatibility issues?
I am curious if I can work on a same CS3 file both on Mac and Windows.

The short answer is, "Yes". Photoshop on either platform will open a TIFF, Photoshop .psd, EPS, or any other file you save from PS. Same with Illustrator and InDesign.
As far as incompatibility, it's the same as it's always been. If you use layers effects in CS3 that don't exist in CS2, then they of course won't work when you try to open the file in CS2 on either the Mac or in Windows. And as Limnos mentioned, there's always them darn fonts. If you use OpenType fonts, you can copy those from one platform to the other to avoid slight differences in Mac Type 1 PostScript fonts as opposed to Windows Type 1 PS fonts, which cannot be used cross platform.

Every time I open a new illustrator file it says "print.ai" file unknown. I can open previous work but no new files. Any fixes?

Every time I open a new illustrator file it says "print.ai" file unknown. I can open previous work but no new files. Any fixes?

All nee AI files are based on document profiles, which are actually plain AI files.
Print.ai is one of them. You may try and select a different profile to see if it's just the Print.ai
But it may of course be all of them that somehow got corrupt.
Could be that the files are corrupt or that Illustrator doesn't have access privileges.
The files are located in your user folder. Find the exact location in this article:

In case the files are completely corrupt you may try and rebuild the preferences or even do a complete reinstall.

hi, sometimes big images could not open with photoshop.ı can open with windows but cant open photoshop.if ı try to open i am seeing a white image.is there any answer for this problem please.

Just to assist those who might help you with this, please give the exact version of Photoshop CS6 you are running, for instance CS6 13.0.1.3.
I had already asked for that in my previous post, but I guess you didn't quite know what I was referencing when I typed "exact version".
Sorry, I cannot help you myself because I don't deal with that kind of 3D images, don't use Windows, and in all frankness I'm not quite following your last post.
Also please give the exact model of your graphics card, so they can check whether it is on the list of cards tested by Adobe.
Thank you.

Jpegs made in CS3 (mac) not opening on Windows XP machines

a few of my users have told me of problems that when they create a jpeg in Photoshop CS3 (with all the updates done) sometimes windows machines can't open the document. They open fine on other macs, just not on the XP machines. Isn't a jpeg a jpeg? is there some mythical setting that I'm missing here? Any and all help is MUCH appreciated.

There was a similar problem that popped up here at the place where I work... I run the only Mac systems in a company that has nothing but PC's everywhere else in the building...they run XP. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the PCs would not display graphic files that were sent from my Mac via email. All of the PCs could display the graphics before, but now they suddenly could not.
It was discovered that Microsoft had sent out a service pack update that had included some code that "inadvertently" turned off the ability of Internet Explorer to view graphic files sent from Macs.
The fix was for the PC users to do some sort of setting to reverse what the service pack had done. Once that was done, the XP machines could once again view graphics sent from my Macs.
The IT department said that MS had sent out a fix, and they had to "back off of the fix" to reverse whatever had been done.

File created on Mac wont open on PC

The Problem:
I created a catalog file in InDesign CS6 (Before CC) on a Mac (See machine info below) and my Manager who works with a PC (Windows 7) can not open my file. The problem is that the file will only open when certain pictures are not linked. Whenever I add certain product image photos to the InDesign File she gets the error message below. When these product photos are embeded the file does not open. But it's only certain files.
Then I have to start over with a copy of the file thats missing the picture files in question then it opens on a PC.
The File is never open in another application. I close indesign all together when my manager tries to access the file in question. And I have never installed any plug-ins. I dont know how the "InDesign can't support this file" when it's an .indd
My Machine info:
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
What I've Tried:
- Open the mac files as they are.
- Resave the mac files as old indesign format and open them on PC
- Export from mac as IDML files and open those files on the pc.
- Open the file on the pc as a "copy"
- Use adobe extension manager to remove all third party plug-ins
- Renamed Image files
- Created new files of images in question, (in .Tiff and .PSD)
And none of those have resolved the issue.
Questions:
Can Memory/Hardware play a part in getting this error message? (My Manager uses a machine thats at least 5 years old)
Can using PSD files as links in an InDesign file create errors like this? (Many of the files we link are PSD files)
Can this be an issue of having the file stored on an external network drive? (The file is stored on a network external drive)

That error message typically means the file is still open (or ID thinks it is because there's still a .idlk file in the folder), or the file extension has been changed to .indd on a file that is not actually an InDesign document.
It seems remotely possible that you'd get it with a linked .indd file from CC opeing in CS6, but you wouldn't have been able to place a CC .indd file in CS6 originally, which means you would only see this scenario when opening a .idml file from CC.

I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit. The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work. Any suggestions??

More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder. I would like to edit these into a single video production. I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them). However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work? Or are these files incompatible with iMovie? If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro). Suggestions???
Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

Move a big file from a mac system to a windows 8 laptop usb usb flash drive

Hello i am using a 32 gb flash drive to copy a 10gb file from mac os x to my flash drive. Then i want to insert that flash drive to my windows 8 pc and store it there.
I cant use a network connection to transfer files because i dont have a ethernet cable or an network connection yet. So i must use a smart procedure for making my mac communicate with my pc at home. I cant use any other types of sharing methods except for a usb flash drive. So i know that the mac cannot detect NTFS filesystems and i cant use FAT32 even though mac recognizes it because FAT 32 is unable to store large files abotu 10GB of size. Now i have to use i think ext3 or ext4 or also HFS but when i successfully copy the file from mac to flash drive then insert it into my pc, the windows 8 OS will not detect the windows pc because i dont think windows is made to detect these filesystems by default.
So i have tried using, HFS explorer and ext2/ext3/ext4 volume manager and ext2exploer or GPARTED live cd's latest version's copy and paste functions but they seem to not work propely and there is a problem, i cannot see any flash drive in HFS explorer even though my drive is formatted as hfs.
So i need a program that can detect HFS or ext3/4 formatted flash drives and is able to copy a file from there straight to my windows 8 NTFS hard drive or a folder in it.
I have checked my firewall settings and defense settings. I am the administrator of my pc and i have even removed the windows password and the mac one but still i get lots of issus JUST to copy a file between a pc and a mac. Remmember that i have to copy files FROM a mac system running snow leopard to my windows 8 pc not the OTHER WAY were i have to copy from the windows to a mac.
Please tell me as much as possable about software out there and tell me software that costs money. I am able to buy any good software for doing this.
Thanks in advance.

Take the flash drive to the PC and format it as exFAT.

File created from ZipOutputStream not opening as Windows Compressed Folder

I create a file using java.util.ZipOutputStream using JDK 5. I can open the file in WinZip. But when I try to open as "Compress (zipped) Folders" in Windows XP, I just get an empty folder. Is there something I have to do other than creating a ZipEntry for each file? From WinZip, I can look at the files and extract them and everything seems to be fine including the folder structure.
Thanks.

Make sure there are no invalid characters in folders or files stored in the zip file.
Windows does not allow the following characters in folder and file names.
\ / : * ? " < >
Check your zip folder structure to see if it contains any of these characters.

Windows can see iTunes Library, Mac can not see Windows library

All,
I'm having a bit of a dilemma here.. I think the following issues are sourced by the same root cause.
First i can't not get my iphone remote.app to be recoginized by my Mac OSx desktop, it works fine with my windows desktop(they are plugged into the same router and settings look good here so I'm discounting the router as the cause). Yes I have made sure to give access to itunes in the Firewall settings
Second, My windows machine can see my Mac's shared itunes library, yet my Mac machine can see my window's shared itunes library.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!and thankyou!

I had this problem recently, and it was because I had both the XP firewall enabled and the firewall included in my F-Secure client. Check your Windows machine to make sure you don't have such a firewall conflict.

I can open the window only once, once i close it, i need to restart my laptop to open firefox again

i can open my firefox window only once, if i close it, i cannot open it again, it is not working. i need to restart my laptop again to open it. This had been happening from the date i did the recent update for the new version.

No, as many times as you need. Log into the App store with the same Apple ID you used when you first downloaded it. Where it says Purchase, option click and it will change to install. Next time you download it, before you install, keep a copy on a USB drive or external drive to save downloading it again and wasting power and Bandwidth.
Good Luck

PDF File downloaded from Mac Can't Read From Windows 7

Hi,
I am now doing a research, and every time when I copy the reference paper in PDF format from Mac to a flash drive, it could not be read from Windows at the university lab. Usually some pages of the file was missing. This really cause me a pain. Please help me. Thanks...
Max

Almost all flash drives are formatted as a Windows drive. When you copy almost any file to the flash drive two different files are created. One corresponds to the data fork of the Mac file and the second is a resource fork. When viewed from Windows the resource fork has the same name as the original file but it preceded by a period. This resource fork file should be ignored. The real file as far as Windows is concerned is the data fork file.
Now if the file you are moving to Windows can be opened and is missing pages, then that is not the fault of Reader or the Mac OS. But is related to how you are creating or obtaining the file.

I have a MacBook pro 10.6.8, 2.66 Ghz 8GB 1067MHz. Please does anybody know of software that can auto send emails to a word/pages doc. and insert in date order into a book file, so that you can open like a book

I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8, 2.66 Ghz, 8GB memory 1067Mhz running Snow Lepard. I am going mad with trying to organise emails and cross reference to file documents, also the first model iPad.
Does anybod know if there is any softeware - pages or otherwise that can copy emails automatically to document files and insert them in dated order and also that the file can be reviewed like a book by flicking from bottom right hand corner iPad book style.
Please help me run my contracts easily, it shouldn't be difficult in this day and age.
I currently use Apple 'Mail' and microsoft word but am considering any new software that can organise and integrate mail better. I use photo inserts and scanned documents and excel spreadsheets.

No, I don't know about that kind of software. It isn't Pages anyway. You need somekind of database.

Location of DW CS3 files on a Mac

I am running Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac Pro running OSX 10.4
Tiger. I am about to upgrade to 10.5 Leopard and I want to do a
clean install of all my CS3 products. I will have a full backup of
my HD and I want to copy all my preferences for CS3 software back
to my Mac Pro after Leopard has been installed. Where does OSX
stuff the preferences, etc. for DW, PS & Fireworks?

Not really a pain, since DW exports them batch-wise.
