File compatibility between CS 5.5 MAC and CS 5.5 PC?

We are currently a PC based shop with a few MAC's tossed here and there.  I have been asked to verify the file compatibility between CS 5.5 MAC and CS 5.5 PC.  Are the files fully compatible?  i.e. can user A on a PC create an illustrator/photoshop/etc document which is then opened by user B on a MAC with no issues?
Thanks!

Yes. For the programs you mentioned it has been forever this way and even for programs like Premiere Pro or Encore, that were platform-specific until recently, this is no longer an issue ever since CS5. Of course you will still have to take care of different handling for file paths on different platforms for externally linked files, but that's a different matter and nothing specific to Adobe...

  • Project File Compatibility between Final Cut Pro 6 and 7?

    I have a group of three editors who are on Final Cut 6 while I am on 7. Is there any way to be able to share project files with Proxi's back and fourth?
    Thanks...

    What would be the best way then to have a group of editors work on the same project that is on Final Cut 7 but with some editors only able to work on Final Cut 6?
    Thanks as always.

  • Is there a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

    As a college student it's important that everything is equal for windows and mac for using instructions. So i am wondering if theres a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

    There are differences between the two version of Office. If you need to be exactly like the Windows version, you will have to run Windows on your Mac.

  • Adobe Creative Suites CS2 file compatibility between PC and MAC

    We produce a 140 page catalog that was created by a third party for us on a MAC with Adobe CS2 using PhotoShope and InDesign.
    I would like to make updates and changes to our catalog file using a PC with Adobe CS2 and send the file back to them for the more complicate work.
    How could I do this? The people that created the catalog don't think it is possible and think it would not work. I know this is probably better suited for Adobe to answer but I wanted to obtain as much information from as many sources as possible.
    Thanks,

    This is entirely possible; however, there are a few things you should be careful/aware of. Fonts are always a crossplatform (and even a cross-computer) issue. Even if you have the same opentype or true type fonts loaded on the PC as the Mac users had, there can be reflow problems which can drive an editor batty.
    If you are just making copy/text revisions and correction, you might consider by InCopy, InDesign's sister copy editing software. That program allows you to open the designers' InDesign file and make adjustments to the text without altering their graphics and layout. From experience, this is very important!
    Until you get that, you can make due opening the Indesign file and making changes. If you get any font subsitution prompts leave the original fonts alone. Things might look wonky, but the designer won't have to lay into the typography after every edit.
    Indesign and Incopy rock. and the world needs to see more cross-platform integration.
    Have fun.

  • File compatibility between cs3 and cs5

    Hi,
    What are the compatilibity issues between Photoshop CS3 and CS5?  Can they be used together without much (if any) issues?
    Thanks.

    They can happily coexist on the same system, as long as you've got the disk space.  Photoshop has always been like that.
    You'll only be able to run one at a time, at any given instant, though.
    Regarding file compatibility, I don't how much it's required to open a file in Photoshop CS3, but the newer version does offer a "Maximize Compatibility" preference setting for saving .psd files.  On occasion I've opened .psd files in Photoshop CS3 saved by CS5 (using the aforementioned setting) and I haven't seen any issues at all.

  • File sharing between PC XP SP 2 and Mac OS X 10.4.2

    I would like to share file between my two Macs and a windows PC via AirPort. I can access from the PC to the Mac but not vice versa. I followed the instructions at www.efelix.co.uk/tech/3001.html but every time I try to get access to the PC with "connect to server" the system shows me error code -35.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance!

    My home network is similar, but I can't figure out what to do next in order to transfer files between the Macs and the PC.
    I've disabled firewall (Windows) and internet security (TrendMicro), and confirmed IP and Submask Numbers. Still no success.
    Here's more details of what I have:
    AirPort Extreme Base Station connected to DSL modem.
    eMac and three iBooks, connected wirelessly to ABS.
    Filesharing is on for these Macintosh computers.
    -This works fine for transferring files and for internet access.-
    Just bought eMachines T6520 running Windows XP Home;
    connected via ethernet cable to ABS.
    -This PC works fine for internet access.-
    WHAT IS THE KEY TO GETTING THE Macs to see the PC, and the PC to see the Macs?

  • IPhoto is currently a shared file with another user on my Mac and I am the Admin and no longer want to share it. How do i undo this completely?

    Iphoto is currently a shared file on my Mac and I no longer want to share it. How do I completely remove access to it if i am the Admin to the computer? Thanks in advance...

    I found the answer on the Quicken Support site. Unbelievable!!!!
    Article ID: GEN82981      Updated: 8/11/2011 |
    Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
    Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files.  Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile.  When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
    You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users.  However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
    SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac.

  • Why is there such a diffrency in file size in PS cs6 for mac and cs6 pc version?

    What am i missing in the mac version?

    There's no difference in features between the Mac and PC version. I believe the file difference is simply due to the foundation of the application, and additional support for different OS versions.

  • File transfers between two 10.9 Macs over FRITZ!Box AVM 7270 painfully slow, any ideas?

    I am using a FRITZ!Box AVM 7270 as my WLAN Router and Internet access point.
    Internet download rates are excellent (6 MB/sec), e.g. iTunes HD trailer playback starts immediately. However, local WiFi file transfers between my two Macs (2011 MB Air, 2012 Mac Mini Server) are embarrassingly slow. I typically see 60 kbit per second (even when no other transfers, up- or downloads occur). Copying just one 50 MB PDF from one Mac to another takes ten minutes.
    The FRITZ interface shows that both Macs are connected using 802.11n (104 Mbit/s), signal strength is good.
    I first suspected a problem with Apple's AFP protocol that was mentioned in several forums. But in the meantime, I have upgraded both Macs to Mavericks, which uses SMB as default. But even connecting via SMB "smb://mac1.local" has the same results: Dead-slow transfers. Activity Monitor shows some peaks at 150 kb/s when transferring files, but it's almost dead in between.
    The problem occurs when copying in both directions (Mac Mini <> MB Air).
    Any ideas?

    I think you're right!
    Thanks for the tip!:-)

  • Still no compatibility between Storage Client Library v3 and emulator?

    Hi,
    According to this blog post:
    I'm apparently unable to post a link, but here's the text from the blog. I'm sure you can find it via google if interested.)
    <<<<
    Storage Emulator Guidance
    As mentioned above an updated Windows Azure Storage Emulator is expected to ship with full support of these new features in the next couple of months. Users attempting to develop against the current version of the Storage emulator will receive Bad Request
    errors as the protocol version (2013-08-15) is unsupported.  Until then, users wanting to use the new features would need to develop and test against a Windows Azure Storage Account to leverage the 2013-08-15 REST version.
    >>>>
    So it seems there was not compatibility between the storage emulator and Storage Client Library v3. I'm wondering if that is still the case. I get a 400 error when calling container.CreateIfNotExists() when pointing to local storage, but no problem pointing
    to production storage. I'm using SCL v3.0.2.
    Thanks...

  • Compatibility - MS Word 2008 for Mac and PC MS Word

    I teach online classes, and many of my students have switched to using Word 2007. My Word 2004 couldn't open the .docx files, so I recently upgraded to MS Word 2008 for Mac.
    Now, I can open and read all .docx files. But I can't open all the documents my students are submitting. Sometimes I will click on the document icon, and I will get a message that calls it a "binary file." I will be allowed to save it disk, but that doesn't work.
    What's a "binary file"? Why is that happening? How can I get around it?
    (By the way, it's not a solution to ask students to "save as" a particular type of document. A few will understand and comply, but most haven't a clue/don't care/can't be bothered/whatever.)

    some tips pulled up by Google "Word 2008 .docx files"
    *Word 2008 12.1 can not open files created by Word 2007 (or maybe any old Word program?) by double-clicking them in the Finder.*
    Prior to installing the 12.1 Service Pack, I was able to double-click on any .doc/.docx file generated by Office 2007/SP1 -- and it would open in Word 2008 12.0.1. After installing the 12.1 Service Pack, I can only double-click-open files I've created on my Mac (with any version of Word.)
    Any version of WinWord files? They can be opened via the "File --> Open" menu command -- but double-clicking on them will not open the document. I can "save as" the files I have to open with the menu and those will open -- but not the original.

    Daniel Bell - .docx documents are really just zip containers. If you receive one that is a folder just re-zip it and change the .zip extension to .docx Provided the folder structure hasn't been tampered with it should then open OK.
    [If you select one of the docx files in the Finder and then Get Info (Command-I), you can set the Open With section of the Get Info window to Open with XML Converter and then click Change All to apply that setting to all docx documents. -MacInTouch]

  • How do I get books to sync between ibooks on my Mac and my iPad?

    I recently purchased an ebook from a source outside of the IBooks store (ePub). I loaded it into the IBooks app on my Mac and I can open and read it there but it does not appear on my iPad. I'm using Mavericks and from what I've researched I think that I have it set up correctly to sync...but the book will not sync. Any hints?

    Another options  is to have an app like Dropbox on your iPad and Mac and  transfer to the iPad that way.
    It will transfer to the iPad and should  offer you ooption to open your ePub.
    If you intend to  add more nonne iBooks store ePubs, I suggest you download a decent Free Books  app and Dropbox will detetct it and offer as an option to open your book.
    this thread may also offer another option for you.

  • Syncing contact photos between Outlook 2011 for Mac and the rest

    Hello, I installed Office for Mac 2011 and when it synced the contacts (through Exchange), most of the contact photos now no longer show in OWA or in Outlook 2013 from my Windows PC's. They are not lost: In Outlook 2013 (for windows) they appear instead
    under "Notes", in the form of a thumbnail jpeg. On my Mac, however, the photos show up correctly. None of my windows accounts (e.g., windows phone) now show any photos any longer. I tried some troubleshooting: I deleted all my contacts from everything,
    and imported them back to Outlook for Mac and synced them, but the photos still show only under "notes" in the Windows accounts.
    How can I solve the issue? I see the same problem reported by other people, but I am not aware of a resolution.

  • Problem conecting  and  file-sharing between two net-worked macs

    I have a Mac Pro (in an out-building in my back-garden) and an Imac (in the house) connected by a long ethernet cable (must be at least 20 metres).
    I used to have no trouble connecting one to the other till recently. I still usually have no trouble connecting to the Internet from the Mac Pro using the Imac's internet connection (wireless). The problem is in clicking on the Imac connection to open it in order to share files (also using "connect to server" in Go menu).
    Much of the time (but not absolutely always), it refuses to connect, and I get a "failed connection message" (or something like "server does not exist" if using other method).
    Sometimes, I can connect successfully, not just as a guest but after entering admin password, and then short time later the connection will disappear. When this happens, the Imac icon previously visible in the finder window also disappears. Unplugging and replugging the ethernet cable has no effect. Once I was using Itunes shared library to play a song on the Imac, and the song just suddenly disappeared.
    Just now, after the Mac Pro-to-Imac conection failed again, I substituted my Ibook for the Imac in the house, and there was no problem at all connecting both ways between it and the Mac Pro. I then reconnected the Imac to the Mac Pro and it too connected fine. This proved at least that the ethernet cable was not at fault, but no doubt the problem will re-occur.
    I have tried experimenting with the Firewall settings on the Imac, e.g. to "allow all incoming connections" or to "set access for specific services"( the latter is my usual setting on the Imac), but it made no difference. Also, the Ibook has no trouble at all connecting to the Imac when the Imac firewall is set to "specific services" so why should the Mac Pro have a problem (I admit I am a little uncertain about the best setting for the Firewall, but believe "specific services" to be correct).
    File-sharing options in system prefs on the Imac are clearly properly set-up or there would never be any connection at all.
    Often, although the Mac Pro to Imac connection will not work, the Imac to Mac Pro will, although not today, when the Mac Pro icon similarly was not present on the Imac.
    As stated, I am pretty sure that all the time the internet connection from Mac Pro to Imac still works (Mac Pro shares Imac conection).
    None of this appears to make much sense and am wondering if anyone has advice.

    Hi,
    It might be me but I don't think I have fully understood the "My Name's iMac" bit.
    If you mean (my Name) iMac as opposed to (My Name) iBook or Shed computer then that is a separate issue I will describe below
    Does the "My Name" bit mean like mine does in this pic ?
    As you can see I have used the Edit Button to change the Name of this G4 to RalphG4
    In System Preferences > Network > (Connection method) > Advanced Button > WINS tab I see this on my G4
    I have in fact used the same "Computer name" here (As in RalphG4)
    My MacBook Pro has had the Netbois Name changed to Macbook Pro
    It shows in the G4 Shares as that.
    The Finder's Preferences are set to Display the Bonjour and SMB shares that I can see as I have a Mixed PC and Mac Network here
    (Currently only the MacBook Pro is On as well)
    SMB Shares are not on in the MacBook Pro settings so it shows as a Mac Server (Highlight and do a Get Info)
    Two Computers with Same Name
    In Bonjour when two computers end up with the same name (As my two did originally) these double name issue cannot be resolved and the computer may be "Seen" briefly before it then disappears
    I have not tried it with SMB shares on my two Macs having had issues with Bonjour.
    (Note: iChat goes one step further.
    Even if the computer names are different iChat uses the Name in the My Card spot in the Address Book to show as the Buddy Name in the Bonjour Buddy List.
    It cannot resolve this if both computers are logged in as the same Person.)
    Another reason why a computer may show up twice is how it or they are connected.
    Lets say that all are connected to a router either by Wifi or Ethernet.
    They will be then seen once.
    If one computer is connected by Ethernet and Wifi at the same time then it will be shown twice as each appearance is linked to the Media Access Card it is using and the IP it uses for each connection.
    This can also happen if one is linked directly to another with an Ethernet connection or Wifi whilst doing the other to the router.
    Back to the naming thing again.
    It is better to use the Edit Button (Arrowed in Blue above) (.Local Name) rather than trying to change the computer's Name (Ralph Johns's Computer) as this is less reliable in later versions of the OS.
