CS4 files from pc not saving on Mac CS5

I did some illustrations in CS4 (v11.0.2) on a PC and now the client is having a problem working with them in CS5 on his Mac. I did seven illustrations for a book our church is publishing. I provided the illustrations to the graphic designer who is using CS5 and Indesign. He transferred the illustrations to his computer and opened them in CS5 but after making adjustments to them when he attempts to save them he gets a box saying;
“the file is locked or you don't have access privileges to the file or folder”
He also tried saving them BEFORE he made adjustments and has the same problem.
Upon hitting “command i” it shows the file is NOT locked. He tried saving them to PSD, EPS and Layered Tifs and got the same message as above.
I went back to my studio and re-saved the files making sure “maximum compatibility” was checked. Then I saved them again as layered tifs in the Mac byte order. I even took them to an older computer and saved them using Photoshop 7. Still, the designer gets the same message and is unable to save them.
I'm an illustrator and have worked exclusively digitally for ten years and have never had this problem before. The files are layered files and are about 25mb each. There are two things that are different about these files than other files I've created in the past.
I changed the color profile to Adobe RGB (1998). This was so the image looked the same in CS4 and in Painter 11. I use both programs to do my painting. Again, this has never caused a problem and I always do the final save in CS4.
I deleted the “background” layer before saving the file. This was because the client wanted a “ragged” edge to the illustration and wanted to drop the image onto a toned background paper.
I don't see why these things would effect the ability to save the file in CS5, but maybe someone else does.
I'd really appreciate any help on this. The deadline date when the book has to go to the publisher is very close.

I just got a call from the designer. He moved the files into a different folder (he had dragged the folder containing the files directly from my disk and flash drive) and they save properly now. Apparently the permissions problem was originating from the folder they were in.

    If the Mac use Lion (10.7) you can use Airdrop for that.
    With Mac's not using Lion you may set up a computer to computer (ad hoc) connection.

  • How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

    How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?  I'm having SO much trouble with this!  Any help would be appreciated!!!

    In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
    Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

    Nonsense.
    Apple Compressor has been doing wmf exports for a decade. I have the Quicktime export components from Telestream and they appear as presets in Compressor. They should be available in Media Encoder or they should be importable. Adove apparently refuses to see them. Still trying to figure that out.

    when i send a pages file from my ipad to my mac, i can edit the file but if I try to print it shows blank and will not print anything

    Is there a reason you are not storing your Pages documents in iCloud?  That would work for both your MacBook and iPad if you choose to use it (assuming your MacBook is new enough to support an OS X version that supports iCloud).
    If you choose this method, any updates you make on one device would immediately be made available on the other (once you close the file).

  • Lost episodes from PC not playing on Mac

    A year ago I purchased a bunch of Lost episodes with iTunes on my Windows machine. Than machine has crashed and died and I am now using a MacBook. I have managed to pull those episodes off the hard drove and move them over to my mac. I used the same account on my windows machine as on my mac. When I tried to add the files from the PC to my mac iTunes nothing happens, I also double clicked on the files and still got nothing nothing. Any ideas.

    I just got a call from the designer. He moved the files into a different folder (he had dragged the folder containing the files directly from my disk and flash drive) and they save properly now. Apparently the permissions problem was originating from the folder they were in.

    We work with Sony XDCAM, and as long as I know you can only export it to .MXF or .MP4 (XDCAM EX).

  • Anyone have experience moving files from an iPad to a Mac?

    Dear Folks,
    I need a way to transfer files from my iPad to my Mac, to deal with the content (music and videos right now, but probably other types of files in the future) that iTunes doesn't back up. I've come across two programs that supposedly will let me mount an iPad on the Mac desktop and/or allow me to transfer files from it to my Mac. Deggie and dwb also know of several and have kindly mentioned them. So, I'm considering:
    IMToo Podworks for Mac (http://www.imtoopodworks.com/pod-works-mac.html)
    Air Sharing HD (http://avatron.com/apps/air-sharing-hd/)
    Senuti (http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/)
    Yamipod (http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/)
    iRip (http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/)
    Does anyone reading this have an opinion on (or experience with) how well any of these work?
    Free vs fee isn't an issue for me, how well it functions is.
    Thanks!

    I can tell you with certainty that for documents of any kind "GoodReader" is an excellent app. It will let you connect to your mac via wi-fi. It mounts it as an external drive and you can create folders and drag files to the folders.
    I haven't tried dragging any movies or music but there wouldn't be anything to stop you from doing so. There is also a file management component to the app that lets you choose an "Open with ... " type of dialog and open a file with pages if it is a .doc file, or GoodReader can open pdf, doc, xls and many other doc types.
    Very happy with this .99 cent app. I agree with the other question though. If I rip a dvd, I use handbrake to convert to mp4 and add to my iTunes - then sync as per normal.

  • How do I open raw files from my Canon 6D in Photoshop CS5.1?

    Just tried to open raw files from my Canon 6D in Photoshop CS5.1. An error message appeared: "
    Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
    Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information." Is there a simple solution?

    You cannot, nor will you ever be able to open your Canon raw files directly in CS5.1.  Your camera model requires at least ACR 7.3 which only works with CS6, or Lightroom 4.3.  There will be no further updates for CS 5.1 ever.
    Your choices are (1) to upgrade to CS6, or (2) to download the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, currently 7.4, and convert your Canon raw files to raw DNG files that you can then open in your CS5.1.
    You should also know that the rendering in ACR 7.4 is far superior tou the raw conversion in ACR 6.x, so you would be leaving a lot of image quality on the table if you go the (free) DNG Conversion route.

  • Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files.

    Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

    Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
    It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
    If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

  • Why cannot I open NEF files from a Nikon D600 with Photoshop CS5?

    When I try to open raw NEF files from a Nikon D600 with Photoshop CS5 I get: "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw"
    Nikon D600, however, is among the camera models listed as compatible with Camera Raw CS5.
    I have never had any problem in Camera Raw CS5 and older versions with raw NEF files from a Nikon D80 camera.
    Is there an update for CS5 to make it compatible with Nikon D600 raw NEF files?
    Many thaks in advance.

    Which verison of camera raw do you have installed? I would update to the latest camera raw plug in. Here is a link to 6.7

  • Incopy CS4 (mac) - when closing file, changes are not saved

    I have a CS4 Indesign document with assignments saved. When the editor works on the file, she is able to save as she goes, however gets a dialogue box about how we are trying to save over an older file with the options 'submit changes, discard changes and I think one other option'.
    When 'submit changes' is clicked we re-open the file and find that the changes have not been saved.
    We don't understand why we would receive that message since we are hitting save as changes are done while working on the file.
    The odd thing is that it doesn't happen on all files. And the dialogue box doesn't always show up.
    One thing to note is that we recently changed from a CS2 workflow that we've been using successfully for a few years. Ie. without that particular dialogue box showing up or any save issues.
    thanks all!

    Lr & Photoshop both have the potential to use tiny (xmp) files for storing changes (and never save any other files), and both can save/export big honkin' tiffs, or like-sized jpegs...
    If you save files in Photoshop with layers and such stuff, the files can get pretty big.
    So, to answer your question: "It depends..." - which files, how saved/exported...
    Try some stuff and inspect the file sizes!
