Help! Jpg, Png, Tiff files creating on MAC won't open on PC

Ok...I'm new to MAC and I'm creating all of my images in Photoshop as i have always done on my PC. But now when i save anything as a JPG or PNG nobody using a PC can open them.
I've checked the file extension, etc. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
Please Help

How does one see a JPG image in a plain text message? HTML vs. plain text is not the problem. The problem is that Yahoo (and many other mail clients) can choke on Mac Finder and Photoshop previews and extended metadata in the JPG file if it is not prepared and sent properly.
Try these three steps one at a time until you find success...
1) Use the 'save for web' function in Photoshop to produce your JPG files.
2) Make sure that your mail program is set to send a type of MIME encoding compatible with the recipient's system (check the box for 'Windows-friendly attachments').
3) If you are not presenting graphic HTML mail with images and don't care that the recipient has to download and extract a package of images, wrap your JPG files in a ZIP archive.

PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
Still waiting.

InDesign File created on PC won't open on Mac

My office is collaboraing with a consultant to create a document in InDesign. We are on PCs and she is on a Mac. We have sent her our .indd files and she is unable to open our InDesign files (not sure if there is an error message or what, I will get more information from her ASAP). Any thoughts on why? Suggestions?
It is my understanding that the programs are compatible crossplatform. We are running CS2, unsure what she is running, but if opening different versions works the same as other Adobe programs, it would know, and give you a warning, if that were the problem.
I'll update with more information as I get it, but there may be an easy solution that I am missing.
We are an architecture firm and have minimal knowledge of InDesign. We only use it every now and then for very basic layouts and have never attempted or needed to share files, so bear with me if there is a simple explaintion! Thanks.

Thanks all for the help, but we have decided to work around it differently.
She was using CS1, and the message she was getting was that there are additional plug-ins required, and she said that when she attempted to download them, CS1 was too old a version.
INX also did not work, not sure why, but not too concered at this point.
Thanks anyway.

.swf file created from Indesign won't open in Flash Player

I have created an interactive flash presentation using Indesign. For several weeks I have made edits, exported a .swf file and opened the file by double-clicking it to open in Flash Player. From there I was able to export an .exe file with an embedded projector for users that may not have flash player. The file does not open and asks whcih progrma I would like to open with when clicking the file.
I am running Windows XP, Adobe CS5
Thanks for your help.

That sounds more Windows file association issue.Have you tried to Right-Click your SWF and choosed Open With (or something like that), you can choose Flash Player from that list if it´s installed.

Problems with opening jpg or tiff files in my own file groups

I have installed Aperture 3.1 from the apps store, but it does not open any of my jpg or tiff files. They are not stored in iPhoto or any other Apple feature, but in my own file system based on types and purpose. They are all scanned analog images made long ago; I do not use a digital camera

Hello George,

First there is no error message - but BTW I did not have Aperture beforhand; this is only the 3.1 downloaded from the App store. Could that be the reason?
It is a pity, that there is no error message, so we just have to guess.
The App-Store version should work just like the boxed version.
I'll check the info panel of any of my images, but as I've never set up anything like sharing or permissions, etc.,
You do not have to set up permissions to have problems with permissions. With each file in MacOS there are stored acces rights, and some times these are wrong, if the files are created by certain apps. Then you need to correct those.
But as Preview can open your pictures, then there seems to be no permission problem.
To me it seems likely that the images use a codec, that Aperture does not understand.
I would like to make sure that you can import any pictures at all into Aperture.
Could you try to take a picture with "Photo Booth" and try to import it to Aperture?Photo Booth pictures should be imported without problems.
If you can import from Photo Booth, then your image codecs probably are the problem, and you need to find out what is special with your pictures, maybe you can post one as link for us to inspect.
if you cannot import any pictures, then probably something is wrong with your Aperture installation. In the latter case you might wish to perform the basic trouble shooting procedure

Cannot read TIFF Files on my Mac

I cannot open or read most Tiff Files on my Mac. Only the very simple ones I can open. Only the ones that were created with a very simple setting (black and white document setting) will open. The Tiffs that were created with a setting more elaborate than this (such as greyscale) I cannot access on my Mac at all. I have tried everything. Preview doesn't recognise them. iPhoto does not recognise them. Can anyone tell me how I can open these files on my Mac or what program I can use to open them?

Where are these files coming from?

How to export the same mb size of my cr2 files into jpg or tiff files in Lr?

How to export the same mb size of my cr2 files into jpg or tiff files in Lr?
Let's say my file size is 22mb, when i export the file to tiff or jpg, although Iam careful with the settings- file size, dimension, resolution, I can't manioukate how I want it.
With jpg I tried everything, no matter what i do or change in files size or resoltion it remains the same size- 7mb as opposed to 22..
Please advise,
Best wishes,
T

I would noramlly opt for a tiff file, sending such a high res through the nest a nightmare
This is probably just an improper use of terminology, but the resolution of a JPG, DNG and TIF should all be the same.
The files differ in size, not resolution and not number of pixels.
Jpg is not that bad, but its a pitty they have to be edited under a jpg format..
Your raws are edited as raw. There is no loss of quality in the editing process. The files are then exported as JPG, which will cause a loss of quality. For just about any use, the loss of quality in the image when you export a JPG at quality level 12 is NOT noticeable. For many uses, exporting a JPG at a quality level of 8 will not be noticeable either, unless you intend to print the photo at a very large size. As twenty_one (not his real name) said, "Jpeg compression is fantastically effective".

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.

My Mac won't open video clips from my iphone in iphoto in iphoto since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Usually I just used to double click and the video clip would open, now nothing happens. Help please.

Can you access the material via the Finder or Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

CDs from my MAC won't open on other computers

CDs from my MAC won't open on other computers

Any computer, Mac or Windows?
If so, it's likely your drive. You have no problem reading them back because your drive wrote it, so the heads are in the same place to read as write.
The problem is the same as way back to the days of floppy disks. If a drive's heads are out of alignment, disks you create will only work well for you. On any other computer, the tracks are not in the standard position.
To check, try using an external drive (or a different one if that's what you're already using). If the problem goes away using a different drive, then your current one is no good.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

Need help opening files created on Mac in PC

Please help! Our old Mac is down and I need to access some files on our network that were created in PM 5. I'm now using a PC that I downloaded the trial of PM 7 onto in hopes of being able to access these files and convert them to InDesign CS4.
Here's my problem:
When I try to open a PM 5 (or even a PM 6.5) file created on the Mac using the PM 7 on the PC I get this message: "File cannot be translated to PC and converted to new version at the same time." Does anyone know how to get around this? Is there another program that will translate the Mac file to PC?

I've read on here that people running Windows XP with SP3 have also had issues with PageMaker files. Could that be the root of my issues?
this only applies to CS2 and PM files.
A co-worker has a MacBook that they're going to bring in next week so I can transfer the files. Is this just going to be a matter of me opening the files on the Mac and saving them as a pmd file on our network drive, then going into my PC and opening them in either PM7 or InDesign (which is where I'll be doing all the updates)?
This will not work. Pagemaker needs to run in Classic on a Mac running OSX. A MacBook is an Intel chip and does not support Classic. You either need an old Mac that boots OS9 or a PowerPC Mac that will run Classic. As long as they are PM6 or better they should open no problem in IDCS3 and 4.
My offer still stands if you need to get started.

Will purchasing GraphicConverter enable my MacBook to open TIFF files created on a Dell PC? I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Will purchasing & installing GraphicConverter enable my MacBook to open TIFF files sent from a PC? I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks for your replies, Keith and Kappy. My husband converted these photos from .jpegs to .tiff for a publisher, who requires .tiff files, I think using "Paint." For some reason the publisher could open some of the files but not all of them. They were sent to me to try to open, but I couldn't open them either. The photos have to be a minimum of 300 dpi.

File created on Mac wont open on PC

The Problem:
I created a catalog file in InDesign CS6 (Before CC) on a Mac (See machine info below) and my Manager who works with a PC (Windows 7) can not open my file. The problem is that the file will only open when certain pictures are not linked. Whenever I add certain product image photos to the InDesign File she gets the error message below. When these product photos are embeded the file does not open. But it's only certain files.
Then I have to start over with a copy of the file thats missing the picture files in question then it opens on a PC.
The File is never open in another application. I close indesign all together when my manager tries to access the file in question. And I have never installed any plug-ins. I dont know how the "InDesign can't support this file" when it's an .indd
My Machine info:
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
What I've Tried:
- Open the mac files as they are.
- Resave the mac files as old indesign format and open them on PC
- Export from mac as IDML files and open those files on the pc.
- Open the file on the pc as a "copy"
- Use adobe extension manager to remove all third party plug-ins
- Renamed Image files
- Created new files of images in question, (in .Tiff and .PSD)
And none of those have resolved the issue.
Questions:
Can Memory/Hardware play a part in getting this error message? (My Manager uses a machine thats at least 5 years old)
Can using PSD files as links in an InDesign file create errors like this? (Many of the files we link are PSD files)
Can this be an issue of having the file stored on an external network drive? (The file is stored on a network external drive)

That error message typically means the file is still open (or ID thinks it is because there's still a .idlk file in the folder), or the file extension has been changed to .indd on a file that is not actually an InDesign document.
It seems remotely possible that you'd get it with a linked .indd file from CC opeing in CS6, but you wouldn't have been able to place a CC .indd file in CS6 originally, which means you would only see this scenario when opening a .idml file from CC.
