File organizing Mac and Xp

This could be a very simple question but I have not found my
answer anywhere. I have recently moved over to a Mac operating
system from Windows XP, and on my old XP machine my flles which I
kept in pertinant folders were organized alphabetically first and
not by extension. I have just started to use Dreamweaver on my Mac
Book Pro and find that all my files are first organizes by
extension then alphabetically and I was wondering if there was a
place I could tell Dreamweaver to organize only Alphabetically?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Thanks Hi and welcome to the forums!
I would sync with the Windows PC as it is easier.

    A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • 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/

  • 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.

  • Looking for application to sync the files between mac and pc

    I have a mac and a pc, I would like to backup their file onto an external harddisk.
    Will any application work for both PC and MAC?
    or I will need two different application installed on my 2 computer?

    Mac apps are Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper!, Silverkeeper, etc. On the PC side is ghost. However, note that the formatting xchemes for each type are different and you just might find that you'll need two ext HDs.

  • Sharing Files between Mac and Windows XP PC

    I have an small office with three computers. There is a new Mac that basically acts as the server. There is a shared folder on the computer. The other 2 computers are PCs. All permissions have been set on the Mac. The other 2 users are set as Administrators on the Mac and have the ability to Read and Write. The other 2 users can access the files, but they are not able to make any changes. The shared folder has may sub folders. Any ideas?

    huh, i used migration assistant to create a user with all my old data. now i have 2 users. anyway, i was putting the old data i wanted (i plan to wipe out the old user) into the shared folder...and it was working fine. all of a sudden, i put files into the shared folder, and when i log in as the new user, i can't use the file. won't give me access.
    i've enabled file sharing, the files and folders are marked as shared, and well...it seems like file sharing is broken.
    ...ideas?

  • Opening Powerpoint files in Mac and PC

    Hi. I sometimes have to create presentations on my MacBook using Powerpoint (I know! Keynote is better and I love it.). I am using Powerpoint 2004 for Mac version 11. I recently discovered that I can't open some powerpoint files on Windows-based computers with Microsoft Powerpoint 2003 Professional Edition, but could open them with a 2002 version. Does this have something to do with the windows version or my Mac? Since I have to share the files with my colleagues, I often have to open the files from someone else's computer (which has a 2002 PPT version) then save the file to a PPT 97-2003 & 95 version just so my colleagues with a 2003 version can open the files. Is there a simpler way to solve this compatibility problem? Hope someone can help me. Thanks!

    Hi Orange Girl
    I have tried to replicate your problem using two different versions of PowerPoint 2003 on two different computers and have managed to open the files without any problems.
    Which specific versions of PowerPoint do you have on the Mac and the PC.

  • Sharing Files between Mac and PC over a Network

    Greetings,
    I have recently made the switch to the Mac, and I have been so pleased with it ever since! I am getting married soon and my wife-to-be has a Windows XP desktop machine. I have been reading up on the different options on sharing files, and I want to ask if someone with experience can confirm what I think I have discovered.
    1. A person on Windows can read and/or write to a Mac OS X formatted drive only if they run Macdrive.
    2. A person running Windows XP can read files stored on a shared folder on the Mac through network sharing without additional software. But can they write to the shared volume on the Mac??
    Now, I know all about the Mac side of things. It can read NTFS, read/write to FAT/FAT32, connect to Windows computers...etc. I have actually done all these things already, and know how to use them. I just want to make sure that I have the right idea before I go into working in the other direction, from Windows to Mac.
    Thank you for any help that you might offer.

    1. A person on Windows can read and/or write to a Mac OS X formatted drive only if they run Macdrive.
    You don't need Macdrive for sharing files over the network, macdrive is only needed for a PC to read a Mac formatted Hard drive that is directly connected to a PC i.e Firewire Drive.
    2. A person running Windows XP can read files stored on a shared folder on the Mac through network sharing without additional software. But can they write to the shared volume on the Mac??
    Yes you can write to a windows sharepoint on a mac this would be limited to their home folder unless you setup other permissions.
    To setup windows sharepoints your best using a shareware utility called sharepoints
    Now, I know all about the Mac side of things.

    It does not matter what format hte pc drives are if your sharing over a network you only need to know about formatted drives if they are directly connected to the computer i.e firewire, or usb drives.

  • Sharing .itl file between Mac and Windows

    How do I share an .itl file located on a NAS between a Windows machine and a Mac? I can do it with two Windows machines, but one I add a Mac, every time I switch platforms the library rebuilds. Onle one machine is accessing the itl file at a time, all the content is on the NAS, and I have 11.0.2.25 on the Mac and 11.0.2.26 on the Windows machine (can't get 11.0.2.25 on the Windows machine.

    Right now, I have Verizon DSL that uses a Westell router. It has 4 ethernet ports on the back in addition to the DSL connections. I have a HP Pavilion with Windows XP in the basement, an iMac G3 in my room, and an intel iMac in our living room all connected to the router by ethernet cables. Each computer is able to access the other computer's files. On the intel iMac I have Microsoft Remote Desktop installed so that I can log into the HP in the basement and control it from the iMac. I haven't tried operating this network wirelessly, but I would imagine that it would be possible. One thing that you might want to check is the router's configuration. My router has settings that either allow or block wireless signals. To access my router's settings I type in 192.168.1.1 in Safari or Internet Explorer. Having all 3 computers on the internet at the same time does not slow the speed of the DSL very much.
    I hope this information will help.

  • Sharing files between mac and windows

    Hello, I have recently purchased a new mac computer and I would like to transfer files from my old windows computer onto this new one and vice versa. I have tried using an external hard drive to do this, but I found that it can only be formatted to one OS at one time. Does anybody have any ideas of how I can accomplish this? Thank you so much for your help everyone!

    I'm not clear as to the current format of the drive. Since you say it is working with MacDrive I am assuming it is currently NTFS. You also say this is for a "new computer" so is this really a Leopard OS computer, making this a Leopard OS question? There's differences in the capabilities of the different systems.
    As for MacDrive, if it works and it's the only program then you'll have to pay for it. I'd say if you're just using it this once for this one application you could probably buy a used drive for $50 to allow you to clear some files off the one you want to use and reformat it. Drives formatted to FAT32 can hold files up to 4GB in size and work with both Mac and Windows. Unless this is for video I don't see a severe restriction to reformatting to FAT32 and using that.

  • Share files between Mac and Windows sessions.

    Hello,
    I've a business(sales) software(Ciel) which is working on Mac. This software is generating a file which can be exported to another (Ciel) software(accounting) but which only works on Windows. I've made 2 sessions for both operating systems, split hard disk in 2 partitions and installed the both software separately.
    How can I let the windows partition being accessible to writing mode from mac session in order to export the file from mac to windows?
    Thank's in advance.

    You may want to investigate Parallels for Mac. It will allow you to share everything in your Mac with Windows.

  • FLA files between Mac and PC versions of Flash CS3

    Hello, I have a PC at work and a Mac at home and have found
    that there are differences with font rendering in Flash CS3 on each
    operating system.
    I have a Flash application that looks beautiful. However, the
    same .FLA file will position fonts a few pixels differently on my
    mac.
    For instance, I can make a flash file on my PC with perfectly
    positioned fonts and after publishing, these fonts will look
    perfect on both PC and Mac (from the SWF). If I then open the .FLA
    on my Mac the fonts will be slightly off, and after publishing the
    fonts will be off on both the PC and on Mac (from the SWF).
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone got any
    suggested workarounds or am I stuck?
    This is the only major problem I've had going between the CS3
    programs on my PC and my Mac (I mainly use Dreamweaver and Flash).
    Thanks for any help!

    I have this same problem. Most fonts are vertically
    misaligned after loading a PC-created FLA on a Mac, and vice versa.
    OpenType fonts seem to have a greater baseline shift than Truetype
    fonts. Arial is one of the few fonts that doesn't shift (that I've
    tried). The direction of the shift is upwards from PC->Mac, and
    downwards from Mac->PC. Also, the linespacing changes. On the
    Mac the linespacing is reduced, so multiple lines get bunched
    together. To see this issue, create a new document on either
    platform and place some text. Draw a line at the baseline of the
    text. Save and reload this file on the other platform.
    If you make the text dynamic and click on "show border around
    text," the problem gets a little more interesting. On the PC, all
    text with ascenders and descenders appear firmly within the border.
    On the Mac, the border excludes the ascenders on OpenType fonts, so
    the text butts up right to the border and ascenders poke out the
    top. This is a bug in its own right. I work primarily with Folio
    fonts, and have seen this problem on all of the OpenType fonts I've
    tried. On TrueType fonts I tend to see the bounding box "almost"
    right, but it still just clips the ascenders, and causes a small
    baseline shift.
    I think the baseline shift problem is because the Mac version
    determines the bounding box incorrectly. When you place text using
    the text cursor, it does it according to the font's baseline, which
    is good. But I suspect Flash stores the position of the text in
    terms of the upper left (or any other) corner of the bounding box.
    Because the bounding box is calculated incorrectly (but
    consistently) on a single platform, reloading the file within that
    platform results in perfect positioning. Loading another platform's
    FLA would cause a shift because the font's bounding box is
    different -- it's the same position of the textfield, but the
    displayed text relative to that store textfield position is higher
    up on the Mac than on the PC.
    This problem has really made me regret switching to the Mac.
    have to do all my work inside Parallels now, on Flash CS3/Win,
    because the artists and other Flash developers in the office are
    all on PC. It is a total showstopper for me, and quite aggravating.
    I simply can't check in my FLAs on the Mac side with my Mac
    positioning, because it makes it impractical for anyone else to
    edit my work.

  • Issues when sharing InDesign files across Mac and PC?

    I'm looking for advise regarding cross platform use of the same InDesign files. We'll be working on 1000+ files with high resolution images. One designer works on a Mac and the other on a PC. We run the same version of InDesign. So far we are finding some (not all) fonts have issues where a PC font has to be replaced by the Mac equivalent and this often means the text box size has to change. When finished the files will be handed over to a fabricator.
    Should we be getting a 2nd Mac to replace the PC or is this cross platform sharing going to work without long term issues down the road?
    Thank you.

    Please, let's not let this get into a platform war.
    There's no reason to buy another computer to collaborate unless one of your users is unhappy with the platform they use now, and then the deciding factor should be personal choice. One is decidedly not better than the other from any technical standpoint as far as working in Adobe applications. If you want to cooperate with other users it's best that everyone have the same version of ID, which you've already said is the case, so the only point of conflict is cross-platform sharing, and the only hangups there are fonts and a few third party plugins that might be available only on one platform. If you stick to OpenType fonts, fonts be come a non-issue, and if you don't have OpenType, Stick withthe PD fonts for what becomes a minor nuisance on the Mac side. As far as plugins, nothing you can do if you need a one-platform release to do the work on both sides, but most third-pary plugins are friendly enough that you can stillopen the file with missing plugins on the other end if necessary and don't need the functionality to do your work.

  • Using .otf files on Mac and PC?

    I understand you can use the same .otf files both on Mac and PC.
    1. Is this trouble free creating a document using these fonts on one platform and then opening the document on another platform and performing tasks with it... printing, creating PDF etc?
    2. Is there any difference using Quarkxpress and Indesign with Opentype fonts?
    3. If creating documents in Indesign and I need to convert these to Quarkxpress documents using a conversion plugin such as ID2Q is there any issues with these fonts.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Tim

    Some answers:
    1. I used OT fonts on Mac and PC and in InDesign and Quark with no font issues. They all showed up and worked in each program.
    2. I can't remember what Quark was like in it's OT support (of ligatures, etc.), but it should be the same. You will notice differences in the kerning. Using ID's optical kerning or Quarks kerning tables the differences will be more pronounced, but either way expect some differences. Getting a handle on the differences can take some time.
    3. Try to avoid moving between programs. If you can work all the way through in one, then you should. I have only ever moved files from Quark to InDesign, and it isn't pretty. Moving from ID to Quark sacrifices too much (no native psd files, no ai files) so I wouldn't think of it.
