File attachment translation between .mac and .me

Why does a .xls, .doc, etc. sent to mac.com change to a 'winmail.dat' file but when I send it to me.com it displays correctly? Is there a resolution?

I am having the same problems and really need a solution....

  • File path problems between mac and PC

    hi
    I'm having some issues with file paths, done a lot of searching online, here and on creative cow and no answers to be found (same question asked a few times though).
    I'm working on projects on a MAC and then collecting files (project only) to a watch folder on a PC for rendering.
    Most of the really big files (.R3D) are located locally on the PC but a few files are on a server.
    I can work on them fine on my Mac but when the project comes across to the PC it can find the files located on one of its drives (the same drive as the project source folder) but loses the filepath to the server and to the other internal drive as well.
    I have to open the project on the PC and repoint to the missing footage and then save which is a real pain in the #@$% and kind of defeats the purpose of the distributed rendering.
    how can I set absolute paths for the PCs from my MAC ????

    Hey, sorry Mylenium, but this statement is not true. I was almost convinced to give up after reading this, but I managed to make a working conversion tool shortly after.
    This is the method in After Effects, I am pretty sure that it can work in the rest of the adobe suite as well.
    All you need to do to get the paths to update to windows format is to:
    1. Select "Save as xml" and save an .aepx.
    2. Open the .aepx in text edit.
    3. Perform a find for "/Volumes" and replace with "//<MountPointOnThePC>" (for example I have the drive as a network drive on the pc so I swap the <MountPointOnThePC> to the name of my mac as that is the path on the pc machine)
    4. Perform another find for "MacPOSIX" and replace with "Win"
    5. Save your file and you will be able to open in on a pc with all the files online.
    Disclaimer, I built this to work on my set up using a mac server and a pc render farm for after effects. Please back up your projects before opening them and editing them.
    Hope this helps anyone else trying to do the same.

  • How can I share files in airdrop between mac and phone without having setting turned to "everyone"?

    I'm trying to utlitise airdrop between my MBP and iPhone 5s. I have the same icloud account for both, but when I have airdrop set to "contacts only" on either device the other is not visible. I have to set either device that I am trying to send to as visible to Everyone for it to show up on the other.
    I have myself in my contact book as well so I should technically come up as a contact I would think? I'd rather not have to have visibility set to "everyone" if I can help it.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

  • Share files between Mac and Windows in same iMac with boot camp

    Hello,
    I am new in using Mac and recently I buy a IMac 24" model.
    I used to use PC a long time with a lot of old document.
    I want to install Windows XP with boot camp.
    But I also want to share my documents, music, video files between Mac and Windows in same iMac.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Eric

    Hi Eric and welcome to Discussions and the Apple world.
    Mac OSX can read and write from Windows partitions (like the BootCamp Windows partition you are about to create) when using FAT32 as file system for Windows.
    However with FAT32 you are limited to a partition size of 32GB.
    Mac OSX can also read from Windows partitions that uses the NTFS file system, but it can not write to them unless you use a third-party helper like either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
    Windows can not even see or use a Mac OSX partition without additional help by MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

  • File transfer between Mac and Windows

    I am running Windows on my Mac and I transfer files between mac and Windows alot using my external hard drive. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this than having to use my external hard drive like a networking solution or something. Thanks...

    i also run windows on my mac (for work). The issue i had was that when booted in osx, i could see the windows partition, and copy files FROM it to the mac side, but i could not copy files TO the windows partition.
    As i understand it, this is because the apple NTFS driver (to read the windows partition) only allows read access (not read and write access). It was easily solved with MacFuse (which is an open source way to add different disk file systems to your mac, kind of like teaching it a new language), and NTFS-3G for mac osx.
    http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
    scroll down a bit for the download link. The installer will put in MacFuse and NTFS-3G, so it's the only one you need.
    After a reboot, i can read/write to the windows partition while booted into macosx (and it's free).
    i hope that helps.
    p.s. the efi boot manager download is NOT required.

  • Sharing linked files between mac and pc

    Dear Community and AI Support,
    My team is trying to share AI files between Macs and PCs.  That works fine until we have Linked assets.  Once we have linked assets, AI either forgets to, or is unable to, let us relink more than one of the linked files.  We can't edit the links or even delete them.  The linked files are just ignored, leaving the file half empty. 
    We've tried hacking the paths directly in the .AI file, hoping to eventually write a perl script to help us switch back and forth. but no luck.  We assume there is a checksum or crc code or hash, etc..., as AI won't even try to open the file after that.
    But to clarify the issue. here is an example of the Mac and PC links we need to switch between using an excerpt from the AI file.  These are valid, working directories on both platforms.

    ooohhhhh very interesting.  I did a find and replace on all the strings, but no dice.  I didn't think to look at those types of data.  But now that you have mentioned it, perhaps I'll do a diff on the same file saved on both platforms to see what has been changed.  Should have already thought of it, but your note has made me check my assumptions.

  • File sharing between Macs and PCs

    I'm not able to properly network a Mac and a PC laptop in my office. The Mac is running 10.4.9, the PC is running XP Service Pack 2. Here's what I'm doing:
    I right-click on a Windows folder. On the "Sharing" tab I click on "Share this folder on the network."
    I go over to the Mac. I try to browse the network; the PC doesn't show up. I type command-K, type in smb://[my PC name] into the box. A dialog box pops up indicating that it's trying to connect, but nothing happens.
    Similarly, if I turn on Windows File Sharing on the Mac and try to go the other way (access the Mac from the PC), that doesn't work either.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks very much.

    I am having a similar problem getting onto a Windows network with my Mac.
    I select Finder/Go/Connect to server...
    I then enter my server's address, and click on the "connect" button. I get the "connecting to server" dialog box. Then I get the "SMB/CIFS File System Authentication" dialog box. The "Workgroup or Domain" box already is filed in with the proper name, so it appears to me that I have made contact with the server. The "name" box shows up filled in with my .mac name, so I delete it and type in my Windows user name. I then fill in my Windows password, and click on the "OK" button.
    Then the "connecting to server" dialog box reads "could not connect to the server because the name or password is incorrect."
    I am using the same name and password that I use when I get on the netowrk with my Dell. In fact, I will plug the ethernet cable into my Dell and get onto the network. I then log off, switch the cable to my MacBook Pro, and I cannot get on.
    Any thoughts on why the server is sending my MacBook Pro the "wrong name or password" message, but letting my Dell on?

  • Is there a way to stop the text shifting between mac and pc?

    I can't believe there is still no fix to the vertical text shift issue when transferring fla's between Mac and PC's. Create an fla on a Mac put some text in it, save the file and open it on a PC and see how the text has dropped.
    Adobe please tell me I'm missing something here or at least acknowledge the problem and explain the cause.
    This problem has plagued flash for as long as I can remember. None of the other applications (Photoshop, Illustrator etc) have this problem. It wastes huge amounts of time and causes massive quality control issues especially when outsourcing work.
    We're using CS3 now and the problem is as bad as ever. It happens with all text fields and all font types.
    Please help.

    Don't get your hopes up that anyone from Adobe will see your posting.  These are user to user forums and appearances by anyone from Adobe are rare.

  • Help: symbol shifting between mac and windows, flash cs3

    I'm doing work reviewing flash files created by other users
    on mac and windows. I'm using os x 10.5.6. When I open a file
    created in windows / flash cs3 some symbols on the stage will have
    shifted upwards on the y axis. If I correct the shift and then send
    it back to the windows user they see the symbols incorrectly
    aligned, as if I had moved symbols around on a correctly aligned
    file.
    The strange thing is not everything on the stage is shifted.
    Only particular symbols will move, and it's usually symbols only
    (not text frames, drawing objects, etc).
    I believe there's a general history of bad behavior when
    saving flash files and trading them back and forth between mac and
    windows, but does anyone know what may be causing this? Or a
    remedy?
    Thank you in advance.
    Peter

    also, I tried opening the same files in vista using a mac
    mini with vista installed on a bootcamp partition. When opening
    other windows authored flash files there I had shifting issues as
    well, so I'm not convinced it's strictly a mac vs. windows issue.
    Unless it's a flash cs3 on windows xp doesn't like mac flash cs3
    and vista flash cs3...

  • Transferring keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Windows

    I need to migrate users from Mac (CS 5.5) to Windows 7 (CS 6). I have tried to transfer a user's custom keyboard shortcut set by copying the .indk file to the appropriate folder on the PC, and although it shows up in the list, when I try to select the set I get an error saying it is in the wrong format or the file could be damaged. Is there a way of transferring keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Windows?

    Shortcut sets seem to be human-readable text files, so you could try making a copy and doing some editing, changing cmd to ctrl and opt to alt, and change the platform value in the first line to "win" though I can't make any promise it will work.
    There are also some known problems trying to migrate legacy sets into newer versions of ID since CS5, I think.

  • Syncing between mac and windows

    I have an issue where I have created files in Adobe Draw (and previously in Ideas) which I have then saved to the Creative Cloud. I open these files in Illustrator on my Mac, save them back to the cloud then open them on a Windows PC. When I save these files on the PC, I get the Unable to Sync Files error message. I have gone through these solutions Error: "Unable to sync files" but no solution applies. If I create a file on my PC, it syncs fine. Is there a known issue when sharing files between Mac and Windows? I can save the files to Dropbox or email them and I don't have this issue. Thanks

  • FaceTime between Mac and iPad with one iCloud account?

    I moved my MobileMe account to iCloud and want to set up my Mac so I can call my new iPad with FaceTime. In the iCloud system preferences I have "Mail and Notes" unchecked but the sole email account in Mail preferences is pointed to the iCloud mail server and I am receiving Mail. The account appears in Mail and seems to be functioing normally.  If I check the "Mail and Notes" option in the system preferences a second iCloud Mail account appears in Mail with identical contents to the one that is there with this option unchecked. I'd rather not have this duplicate set of mailboxes in Mail so I'm leaving the option unchecked (is this OK?). I added my AOL address as a second email address to my Apple ID so I can use my AIM account with FaceTime and have set FaceTime to receive calls to my AIM address and I have added a contact with my iCloud email address.
    On my iPad, I have set up FaceTime to receive calls to my iCloud email address and added a contact with my AIM address. This set up works when calling my Mac from my iPad but does not work the other way. How do I get it to work in both directions?
    Thanks for any insights.

    In partial answer to my own question, it seems that Mail and Notes option in iCloud system prefs on the Mac should be checked. The duplicate account that is then created in Mail (which points to the original account so it's not really a duplicate, as CS1sound  pointed out to me) can be disabled in the Mail program prefs. This eliminates the dual mailbox sets in Mail.
    Regarding the FaceTime calling between my Mac and iPad, that seems to have been resolved as well. The FaceTime iCloud account required more characters than the password for the old MobileMe account. This was unknown to me until I tried to view the iCloud account from within FaceTime preferences, when I got a message saying I needed a longer password. When I entered the new password it updated the FaceTime password and also updated my iCloud password (the password associated with my Apple ID). So now everything seems to be working nominally.
    For others experiencing problems with FaceTime calling between Mac and iPad I suggest making sure your Apple ID password is at least 8 chars long, has letters (at least one cap) and at least one numeral. (This is the spec my FaceTime error message provided). Then attach an AIM  address to your Apple ID as a "rescue" email address. Apple ID will send an email with a verification link to this address which must be clicked and this account will then be associated with your iCloud account (along with your original iCloud email address). Next, set the iPad up to use the iCloud email for Mail and FaceTime and create a FaceTime contact with (which receives calls to) the AIM address, for calling the Mac. Then set the Mac up to use the iCloud email address for Mail and set FaceTime up with the iCloud email, but with a "receives calls at" address pointing to the AIM account, then create a contact with the iCloud address, for calling the iPad.
    Posted this because I saw others have had the same problem. Sorry for the verbosity but this is just a blow by blow recounting of what I did. I hope some of the board gods and moderators will vet this for mistakes. I don't want to mislead any fellow pilgrims, but it worked for me .

  • How to sync iBooks between Mac and iPhone? I'm on Mavericks and iOS 7

    I'm on Mavericks and iOS 7, but my iBook on Mac is different from my iPhone 5.
    Does anyone know how to sync iBooks between Mac and iPhone?
    This issue has been puzzled me for a while, hope can find a way out here, many thanks~

    Under iTunes / File / Devices ?
    But I did not see my iPhone under this section...
    Only see those 4 options:
    Sync "my iPhone"
    Transfer Purchases from "my iPhone"
    Back Up
    Restore from Backup
    Could you describe a bit more precise?
    Many thanks~

    Hi cbafiero,
    It seems that the problem lies in your router. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is (I've just now discovered it myself), but after switching from a Linksys WRT54GX2 to a thrift store Netgear, my shared libraries appeared instantly. My gut is telling me that the Linksys routers are blocking the multicast traffic, which is stupid on Linksys's part, to filter traffic internally. I'll look more into the Netgear and see what it has that the Linksys doesn't (or vice versa).

  • How to create shared folder between mac and windows

    how to create shared folder between mac and windows

    Us ean external drive formatted FAT32 or ExFat. Both OSx and Windows can read/write to the drive and both can use the same data files as long as you have a program that can open and save these files. For example, Word running both on OSx and on Windows will be able to work with the same document on the external drive.
