Photoshop on mac - file copied to ntfs corrupt ?

Hi!
We encounter this problem on a school campus :
Students work on photoshop on macs, they work locally on a file (because we know directly on the server is not recommended); when class is over, they copy the file over to their network folder which is NTFS.
Some files get corrupted when they open it up the class after, filters get black or weird stuff happening.
Ever see this happen ?
thank you

Sorry.
We are under PS 13.0.6. Mac osx 10.9.5.
Users log with the AD accounts and home directory are created locally.
They work on a project with files saved on the desktop, at the end of the class they drag the psd file to their home directory on the network, which is on a windows server (NTFS file system). That server is 2012.

Dot Mac file copy

Is there a trick to copying files to my .Mac folders? I can't seem to drag and drop or copy more than one file at a time.

Put all the files in a folder.
Go to the folder that contains the folder you want to copy.
Select that folder.
Select menu EDIT/COPY "your-folder" (Command C)
Go to iDisk
Go to folder in iDisk where you want to place the copied folder
Select menu EDIT/PASTE "your-folder"
Easy as pie.

Photoshop CS3 Mac-Files are rewriting themselves... Help!

Hello Everyone,
I'm hoping someone could shed some light on an issue I've been having over the past few days.
So I'm in photoshop doing my usual adjustments, when I go to save the file it saves a totally different image than the one I'm working on. So the thumb of the file isn't the actual file, it's a totally different one.
Today I was working in InDesign and when I opened a project (That I preflight and packaged at the end of the previous day) InDesign said that there were missing and modified links. I thought this was strange. So when I updated the photoshop files in the InDesign document, the files were completely different ones than the day previous. >:S
I don't know if this makes sense to anyone, because I'm sure confused. If anyone out there has some insight, that would be awesome! Thank you for taking the time to read my forum.
Kind Regards

You have given us no details. My guess is you are looking at Bridge in CS3 which had a spurious thumbnail and preview bug that was never fixed.
If you open the file in Photoshop or InDesign, you will see it is in fact the correct image; only the thumbnail and the preview are wrong.
To correct this, change your Bridge preferences to UNcheck High-quality Previews, quit and relaunch Bridge, then use the Tools menu in Bridge to Purge the Cache for each offending folder, one by one. DO NOT use the global Purge Cache command in Bridge preferences.
Unfortunately, in CS3 you have to choose the lesser of two evils: either spurious thumbnails and previews or soft previews.
CS3 will not be fixed. This particular bug was fixed in CS4.

TS2570 Boot or Restore, can't see my Mac partition but can see my Windows7 partition. From Windows I can access my Mac files which I've backed up on a NTFS drive. I most probably will need to erase the Mac partition & make a new one, what happens to Boot

Hi,
When I boot my 2010 MacBook Pro I get a gray screen, when I try to do a Restore, the Mac partition is nowhere in sight, it sees my Windows Partition.
When I in Windows I can see all the files in the Mac Partition and I've backed up my Mac files on a NTFS external drive. My Windows partition has been working fine, I've installed it 2 years ago and have been receiving regular updates. Only problem is my display driver crashes occasionally.
I most probably will have to recreate the Mac partition and re-install Mountain Lion from the Mac servers. BUT, what happens to Boot Camp and my Windows 7 partition?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no way to expand the partition upwards. As you noted, you would need to either start afresh, or simply find a good use for the first partition.

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

Windows 7 64-bit Corrupting (Altering) Large Files Copied to External NTFS Drives

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproperf/thread/13a7426e-1a5d-41b0-9e16-19437697f62b/
continue to this thread, I have the same problems, the corrupted files only archives, zip or 7z ... and exe, there are no problems copying larg files like movies for example, no problem when copying via linux in the same laptop, it is a windows issue, I
have all updates installed, nothing missing

Ok, lets be brief.
This problem is annoying me for years. It is totally reproducible although random. It happens when copying to external drives (mainly USB) when they are configured for "safe removal". I have had issues copying to NTFS and FAT32 partitions. I have had issues
using 4 different computers, from 7 years old to brand new ones, using AMD or intel chipsets and totally different USB controllers, and using many different USB sticks, hard disks, etc. The only common thing in those computers is Windows 7 x64 and the external
drives optimization for "safe removal". Installing Teracopy reduces the chances of data corrpution, but does not eliminate them completely. The only real workaround (tested for 2 years) is activating the write cache in the device manager properties of the
drive. In that way, windows uses the same transfer mechanisms as for the internal drives, and everything is OK.
MICROSOFT guys, there is a BIG BUG in windows 7 x64 external drives data transfer mechanism. There is a bug in the cache handling mechanism of the safe removal function. Nobody hears, I've been years talking about this in forums. It is a very dangerous bug
because it is silent, and many non professional people is experiencing random errors in their backup data. PLEASE, INVESTIGATE THIS. YOU NEED TO FIX SUCH IMPORTANT BUG. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT IT IS STILL THERE SINCE 2009!!!
Hope this helps.

Photoshop droplets don't work after file.copy();

I wrote a script to backup all of my files in a directory, like this
fileObj = File('~/Desktop/Vendor Swatches.app');
fileObj.copy('~/Desktop/BACKUP/' + fileObj.name);
I noticed that when it copies my Photoshop Droplets, they no longer work. If you look at the attached image, you can see the file before and after copying. The end file is also listed as "Application (Classic)". Does anybody know why this is happening? Or any way to prevent it?
thanks!

I don't use File.copy() myself it creates a 'NEW' file which makes it pretty useless to me. My Retrospect back-ups would be never ending. It looks like form your images you are making a copy across from mounted server? From a personal point of view I would have the system do the copy/moving of files… Here are a few functions that may be of use to you… Copying files/folders you could do this with the shells 'cp' or 'ditto'
Using cp…
#target photoshop
var source = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to Copy from?');
var dest = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to Copy to?');
if (source != null && dest != null) {
     var res = cpFiles(source, dest);
     alert(res);
function cpFiles(sf,df) {
     var comm = 'cp ';
     var optns = '-R ';
     var sPath = "'" + sf.fsName + "/' ";
     var dPath = "'" + df.fsName + "'";
     var sh = comm + optns + sPath + dPath;
     var res = undefined;
     var sh = app.system(sh);
     !sh ? res = true : res = false;
     return res;
And much the same using ditto…
#target photoshop
var source = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to Copy from?');
var dest = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to Copy to?');
if (source != null && dest != null) {
     var res = dittoFiles(source, dest);
     alert(res);
function dittoFiles(sf,df) {
     var comm = 'ditto ';
     var optns = '';
     var sPath = "'" + sf.fsName + "/' ";
     var dPath = "'" + df.fsName + "'";
     var sh = comm + optns + sPath + dPath;
     var res = undefined;
     var sh = app.system(sh);
     !sh ? res = true : res = false;
     return res;
And as you mentioned back-up… here are a few things you could use before/after your process to store/back-up whichever…
ZIP a folder…
#target photoshop
var source = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to create ZIP From?');
if (source != null) {
     var res = makeZIP(source);
     alert(res);
function makeZIP(sf) {
     var comm = '/usr/bin/ditto ';
     // These should be default after 10.4 Tiger?
     var optns = '-c -k -rsrc --keepParent ';
     var sPath = "'" + sf.fsName + "' ";
     var dPath = "'" + sf.fsName + '.zip' + "'";
     var sh = comm + optns + sPath + dPath;
     var res = undefined;
     var sh = app.system(sh);
     !sh ? res = true : res = false;
     return res;
Disk Image a folder…
#target photoshop
var source = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to create Disk Image From?');
if (source != null) {
     var res = makeDiskImage(source);
     alert(res);
function makeDiskImage(sf) {
     var comm = 'hdiutil create ';
     var optns = '-srcfolder ';
     var sPath = "'" + sf.fsName + "' ";
     var dPath = "'" + sf.fsName + '.dmg' + "'";
     var sh = comm + optns + sPath + dPath;
     var res = undefined;
     var sh = app.system(sh);
     !sh ? res = true : res = false;
     return res;
And lastly TAR Archive a folder…
#target photoshop
var source = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to create TAR Archive From?');
if (source != null) {
     var res = makeTAR(source);
     alert(res);
function makeTAR(sf) {
     var comm = '/usr/bin/tar ';
     var optns = 'cjvf ';
     var dPath = "'" + sf.fsName + '.tbz' + "' ";
     var sPath = "'" + sf.fsName + "'";
     var sh = comm + optns + dPath + sPath;
     var res = undefined;
     var sh = app.system(sh);
     !sh ? res = true : res = false;
     return res;
They are for 'mac' and all expect a folder object or two…

How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

Hello,
To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts? An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created. Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

Hi there, I made the monthly payment for the Adobe apps, i managed to download Illustrator and Photoshop but can't seem to download Indesign. It says that "file seems to be corrupted... try later". How do I solve this problem?

Photoshop (CS6 on Mac) file is locked.

After changing preferences, plug in views, etc I get a message the file is locked and changes won't be saved. Even after unlocking, adding myself as user with read/write priveleges, changes are not saved when PS is closed.
Help??

First thing to do is to trash your preferences while you re-launch Photoshop:
Preferences files vary by name and location for each version of Photoshop. Use this document to find or re-create preferences files for Photoshop CS6.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.
Then Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, and relaunch Photoshop.

I am trying to save a photoshop CS6 psd file to jpg and get an option jpg, jpg2000 or jpg stereo, I choose jpg and then Mac 256 colours, normal or interlaced. I just want regular jpg with a high resolution. What am I doing wrong, never had this problem

Your description of the issue is not clear:
What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"? It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
If the image is a 256-color GIF, remember the rule: GIGO = garbage in, garbage out.

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem. If you boot into Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files. We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing. Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

Is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file

is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file? I recently swapped to Mac and this is how i moved the library from windows to mac and library is in tact but is there an easier way? My cousin just imported her cd's again, but it was harder for me as i have an ipod with over 150 apps and i needed to move them. i think it would be helpful if i knew of an easier way so i can help a friend move his. Thanks

The general method of use is to download a script (double-click or right-click and use Download or Save As...) to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist or sometimes the entire library.
