.daa files on mac

I recently gained access to some .daa file and im really anxious to open it. The only problem is I can't. I some research on my own and found out that daa. is a windows only type file that you need PowerISO to open. I also found out that you can get CrossOver for mac and it will open it, but as I went to CrossOver to download their demo it read in big letters "you need a intel cpu to use crossover, won't work on powerpc based g3 g4 or g5's." That my problem I have a powerpc g5. I do have VirtualPC and did hear that's an option to use to open it, but I want to know if their is any other way to get across this for future notice of course.

Thanks a lot I didnt think anyone had a solution to this, I just downloaded the app and now it's trying to open the file I'm pretty sure it'll work since its not password protected and is doing a lot better than what my virtual pc was doing. thanks again

  • How Do I transfer my .daa file to Windows bootcamp from mac bootcamp

    Hi, there is no way to open .daa files in mac. The only way is to do it trough windows, it wont let me transfer anything to the widows portion of my system, also on my enclosure's portion of windows. Is there any way to let me have privileages to drop off files in windows for the mac partition of my computer?

    Hi,
    I am supposing, that both of your Windows partitions use the NTFS file system, which OSX can only read but not write.
    The easiest way is to use an USB Memory Stick of appropriate size for file transfers.

  • .daa files (Direct Access Archive)

    Is there any way to open a .daa file on a Mac? If you can't open it, can you mount it somehow, and then take the contents out?
    Sorry if this wasn't the right forum to ask, but I've been looking and I've spent so much time worrying about where to ask the question I probably could have asked it once and been told to ask it elsewhere, then gotten it answered there in the time I've taken!
    Thanks.

    Thanks, I guess I was kind of looking for one of those Mac cracker solutions with the elegantly simple ways to handle the Windows stuff. I'm not planning to mess up my new MBP by putting Windows on it, and I'm not going to go to the trouble of bowing before a Windows-centric proprietary file format, so I guess I'll boycott for the time being.
    But if anyone knows or does come up with a solution, please post! I know there are a lot of other Mac users out there asking, because I've seen them.

  • Opening a .daa file?

    Is there anyway to open a .daa file I have on my mac. I have tried looking in VT, Google and searching apple support but no luck. Help please..?

    .daa files are proprietary to PowerISO and cannot be opened by any other applications. My suggestion would be to download the trial of Crossover onto the iMac http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
    Then download PowerISO onto the iMac and install it using crossover and convert the .daa to and iso. Your other option is to purchase a licensed copy of Windows XP Pro SP2 and either purchase VirtualPC (for you powerbook) or Parallels (for the iMac), or bootcamp the iMac and install Windows that way.

  • How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

    I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard.  I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac.  I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
    Have you got any more tips?

  • Transferring large volume of files from mac to PC?

    Hi i have a mac with osx 10.4.8 and a pc, i need to transfer a large amount of files from mac to pc (around 200GB)
    Now i have lots of external HDs which are all used by either the PC or the macs. the ones formatted for the macs cannot be read atall by the PC without some expensive software, the PC formatted one i have appears to be readable on the mac, but when i try to copy the files onto it or change anything, i am not able to change/add anythingn due to permissions problems.
    Not sure what to do, i have quite a few HDs with plenty of sapce, but if they are all in the wrong format i cant really wipe/reformat them easily with files on them, nor do i want to buy yet another HDD just to transfer some files....
    Any ideas/advice?

  • Should I set up my external hard drive as HFS when copying PC files to MAC

    I have just purchased an external hard drive and hooked it up to my PowerMac G5 running OS X. My Mac is networked to a PC via Wi-Fi. When using my Mac I can open/delete/save files to my PC and drag them to my Mac.
    I would like to back up my whole PC onto the firewire external drive. I only have a firewire connection on my Mac, so I don't want to unplug it and set it up on the PC as well.
    Are there any issues if I format the drive using Disc Utility and format it as HFS, then simply drag the files and applications from my PC to my external hard drive. If the PC fails, will I have any issues when I drag the files back to a networked PC via my Mac?

    Backing up an entire hard drive via Wi-Fi would be very slow and perhaps unreliable. I would really look into getting a firewire interface for the PC to accomplish the back-up. These cards are not very expensive and it would be a good investment.
    You may have trouble when returning files from an HFS drive to your PC. Some of the files may appear doubled as ._FILENAME and FILENAME. The ._ file is used by Mac OS and is hidden, but is not used by Windows and shows as a separate file. MacDrive6 from MediaFour (http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6//) can solve this problem, as well as allow an HFS+ formatted drive to appear in the Windows explorer when connected via Firewire, but there may still be problems with a backup procedure using drag and drop. It is probably best if you want to do this to format your drive as a Windows drive.
    Also, backing up PC application and system files (or Mac ones for that matter) by dragging and dropping is a bad idea. Especially on the PC, but also occasionally on the Mac, applications install files in various system locations that are not easily accessable. It is best to restore applications and system files from the original software installation CD's or DVD's. If this is not possible, or inconvenient, look for a PC backup utility that is similar to Carbon Copy Cloner for the Mac (http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html). Utilities such as this can create an image of a hard disk for backup purposes on any drive recognized by the system. I am sure there are many good PC backup utilities available, many probably as freeware.

  • How do I install Netgear XE102 on my iMac?  It will not install off of the cd provided it appears to be only for Windows based computers.  Checked Netgear website and could not find a setup.exe file for Mac.

    Unable to install Netgear XE102 on my iMac.  Checked Netgear website and could not find a setup.exe file for Mac.

    That means either no software needs to be installed on a Mac or the product is incompatible with Macs. Contact NetGear tech support for help.

  • Changing files from Mac to PC...help needed!!

    Hi there,
    I've been a Mac user for 3 years but recently my G4 iBook has broken, and I've had to purchase a Dell laptop. But I'm having a few problems copying across my files from the Mac to the PC....
    - Before my Mac broke, I managed to back up all my files (mainly music and photos) onto a Maxtor external hard drive. But now when I plug this into my new PC laptop, it does not come up. I cannot access any of the files. Any ideas why not?!
    - Secondly, is it possible to use my iPod with the PC laptop (even though it has only ever been used on the Mac), without losing the music? It's asking me to re-format the iPod when I plug it into the PC laptop, but I really don't want to lose the music, particularly as I can't get any of my files off the external hard drive!!
    In a bit of a pickle with it all and would really appreciate some (jargon-free!) advice.
    Many thanks,
    G

    You need either free HFSExplorer to access files on Mac OS Extended; or MacDrive7; or even Paragon NTFS 7.0 ($29).

  • Is Final Cut Pro the only software that can open video .MXF files for Macs?

    Hello,
    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Trying to find software that will edit .MXF Video Files to work with Mac.
    As the edit is simple, prefer iMovie, but happy if the Conversion software only works with FCExpress (or even FCPro if that is the only alternative).
    1. If it matters, .MXF (Material Exchange Format) Video files came from shooting on a Panasonic 500 P2. Originally downloaded onto a Windows system, using Adobe Premiere.
    2. I just want to see and convert some of the shots I did for my Reel, etc., but I have a Mac.
    3. I have iMovie HD, iMovie 09, and FCExpress (which I don't know how to use that well).
    4. When I attach an External HD with backup files of all the footage shot, they show up named as .MXF files. They appear as VLC files (VLC icon), but the suffix is .MXF.
    5. When I try to play them as VLC files, they won't play. It seems they start to play, but then the VLC software quits.
    6. So I have tried downloading some software on the Internet that Google says converts .MXF files.
    I tried: iSkysoft Video Converter, AVCWare Mac Video Converter, MPEG Streamclip, and a couple others. They all seem to have basically the same conversion setups, but when I click to pick one .MXF file, none of them recognize it. (The file in my Browse window is greyed out).
    7. MoyaVideo Converter for Mac recognizes the .MXF file, but when I hit the "conversion" button - I tried a couple different settings, all it seems to convert is the first frame. Even if the .MXF file says a clip is 123MB or 43 seconds long, etc.
    8. I can't even watch the clip in Preview. Press Play and it is just the first frame.
    9. I have read elsewhere in these forums, some people touting conversion software from a company in Germany - mfxformac. I am fine with paying for conversion software, but $500?
    10. And I have read elsewhere that only Final Cut Pro has a codec that will open .MXF files. If this is so, why do the above companies claim to have software that opens .MXF files for Mac?
    11. Isn't there a further problem if I can't even see the video using VLC? Or is that because I am using Mac and need FCPro with the right codec?
    Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

    MXF files from P2 can only be imported using FCP. iMovie can't, nor FCE...if you are talking about APPLE software. Avid deals with MXF files natively. But FCP will ONLY import them if the entire P2 card structure is intact. Please tell me that you have the entire P2 card backups. If not, then it won't work. If you do...then here is the process for importing into FCP:
    P2 Workflow with FCP 6
    3. I have iMovie HD, iMovie 09, and FCExpress (which I don't know how to use that well).
    Then you need someone to provide you with QT files of this footage. None of them work with P2.
    NONE of the converters you listed will work... Sorry.
    9. I have read elsewhere in these forums, some people touting conversion software from a company in Germany - mfxformac. I am fine with paying for conversion software, but $500?
    That software is to get it to work with Final CUt Pro natively. What it doesn't do is convert the footage to QTs. There is also Raylight and Calibrated...but again, they are for FCP.
    P2 is a professional format, and to use it you need professional software. iMovie won't work...nor will FCE. If you need to work with it in those formats, you need to have someone import the files and convert them to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec).
    HD Log might work...but not sure what QT format it converts to. A demo is available.
