Read windows email files downloaded to flash drive on home mac
Because my email at work is always too full, I bought one of those mini flash drives to off load some stuff so that I could delete it from my mailbox. When I brought the flash drive home and put it on my Mac, it shows all the files are there, but I can't seem to open them (see the one below as an example). When I click on them, they show up as an attachment in an email. I was able to read the text on one I tried by somehow getting to HTML (don't know how I got there), but it didn't show the item as it was, just the text. Is there something I have to do to read Windows files on my Mac? I don't have any problem when I forward emails from work to my home email, so why won't these files just open in Mail like those do? Each time I click on the one below, it just opens another mail page with this as an attachment, but the item itself doesn't open. Can you help?

Format it as FAT32.

What do I need to download "sh" files to a flash drive on my Mac?
I have a new Viking Husqvarna sewing machine 960Q. The software update instructions from Husqvarna are:
Download the update software and unzip it to a USB stick. Save the file at the root level, do not place the file in any folder.
The updates are in "sh" format and the Husqvara "help desk" said I need a Winzip program. I tried that but found nothing yet that opens an "sh" file. Please don't make me do terminal stuff! There has to be an easy way!Here's what I get using Text Edit:

Hello:
I have been periodically copying files to a flash drive to put in my car's hard drive. This was working fine until I downloaded and installed Itunes 11. When I copy the files,
the songs show in the flash window as "protected" and then do not transfer to my car's harddrive. Is there a new procedure for this? Even songs that I copy to Itunes via a cd also show as protected.Without a hardware lock I dont think there is a way to lock the drive cross-platform. You can lock all the files on the drive, which will prevent them from being modified, but that's only a superficial lock, as the "lock" checkbox can be edited in both windows and OS X.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.
Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

How do I copy a file from a flash drive to my iMac
I am trying to import my contacts from my old PC to my new iMac. I had all my files transfered by an Apple store tech. My contacts went to my Address Book. Which is fine, but I now want to import them into Office for iMac 2011 Outlook. So I exported them out of Outlook 2007 for Windows into a file on a flash drive. I am now trying to import them from the flash drive into Outlook on my iMac. I can't figure out how to find the flash drive on the iMac to import the file. HELP!!!
By default, all drives are hidden from the desktop. Pretty dumb in my opinion, but that's the default.
From the desktop, choose Finder > Preferences. Turn on the check boxes for all drive types you want to always appear on the desktop. -
My Xtreamer media player won't read srt sub files downloaded from my iMac and stored in a 1Tb seagate external disk. However, the Xtreamer Elvira media player will read all the .avi files I have loaded in the external disk. Any ideas?
I am experiencing the same issue with a new external DVD burner, a Sony DRX-840U. When I load a CD into this external drive it appears in iTunes but when you go to import or play the CD iTunes indicates playing or importing for each individual track for just a moment. The end result is that nothing is ever imported or played. I am experiencing this on two different systems. One a notebook running Win2K and the other a desktop running XPpro. If I use the internal DVD drives on either of these systems everything work just fine. Yet I am able to use this new external DVD drive with every other application. For example Window Media Player has no problem playing or importing the same CD that iTunes fails on. The last person indicated that if one set the DVD drive in question to be the drive of choice under preferences>advanced>burning that all was ok. I my case this Sony external drive is the drive listed as the drive of choice for burning yet the issue still exists.
As this appears to be an issue that others are also experiencing help from Apple Tech Support would be greatly appreciated. -
Our IMac has Microsoft Office installed so my daughter can do homework. The problem we have is moving files to a travel drive to take work to school to use on the school computer (PC). How do we do it?
The Mac's Finder is the same thing as the Windows Explorer. Insert your Flash drive and you will see it become available in the sidebar of a Finder window under "Devices." If it does not appear here then try going to the Finder menu, select Preferences, and then in the Sidebar section checkthe option to include "External disks" in the sidebar (you can also check the option in the General section to have disks show on the Desktop).
When this is done, you can then drag any file from any accessible location in the Finder to the disk device in the sidebar and have it copy to the disk. You can also select items (use the Command and Shift keys in selecting to select more than one item) and then press Command-C to "Copy" followed by going to the disk, opening it, and pressing Command-V to paste the items to the disk and effectively copy them that way.
When finished select the disk and press Command-E to eject it, which can also be done by right-clicking it and choosing Eject, dragging it to the Trash from the Desktop, or by clicking the little Eject button that appears when you hover your mouse over the drive in the sidebar. -
I have digitized several old vinyls as WAV files and have them in my MacBook Pro in an iTunes playlist. I have arranged the list under the column headings of "Grouping", "Name", "Time", "Artist", "Album" and "Genre". When I copy the files to a flash drive by drag-and-drop, none of the headings except "Name" show up. How to preserve all of the column headings when copying the file to an external device? Thanks - RC@gnv.
I have the same issue when trying to sync from iTunes 11 on my MacBook to my iPhone 4 iOS6.1. I blindly did the iOS upgrade to 6.1 (more fool me) and since then have not been able to use my phone as an iPod.
I have tried restoreing it, I ve tried restoring it to a new phone but it hasn't worked for me.
The sync starts and the capacity bar in iTunes shows capacity including and music or films etc that are to be included in the sync and then iTunes stops the sync and nothing has been transfered. As with your experience the music is shown in iTunes under Music, under Devices as greyed out with the syncing icon (dotted circle) to the left of it.
When I try to include photos in the sync, I also get an error msg stating the connection to the iPhone has been lost. I am trying to do the sync vis USB, so I dont why I get this error.
I can of course download any music I've bought from Apple from my iCloud to my phone but I want to be able to put any music I want on to it like I could before on iOS5. -
How do I delete files on my flash drive? I get an error message that I do not have permission.
How do I delete files on my flash drive? When I try to, I get an error message that says I do not have permission to do so.
There are two user IDs and 2 passwords required on most email accounts (except iCloud and MS Exchange). You need to enter id and password for incoming email, and again under the Outgoing (SMTP) server settings for sending. You either have no id and password or a wrong id or password for the outgoing server.

USB flash drive security on mac and windows
Hi
I've got an USB flash drive and I would like to secure it so that data on it will not be accessible unless a password is provided.
The point is that I need to use it on both my macbook with tiger OS and on another PC with windows XP.
The USB flash drive is a sandisk cruzer titanium that comes with U3. Originally I was using an U3 protection that asks for a password when the flash drive is plugged in.
U3 is not supported by MAC so I had to disable the password protection to use it on my brand new macbook.
Appreciate any help
Thanks, Ste
macbook c2d Mac OS X (10.4.8)You will be able to open it if you make it a .iso
image. There is software available for both OSes to
open and browse/modify a .iso image file. I do not
know how well any of them use passwords for the
images.
Maybe it's winiso
What I would recommend is using Winrar
(http://www.rarlabs.com/) and just using a compresses
and encrypted file that both OS's can manipulate.
With winrar you create an archive and then each time you want to edit a file you have to extract it, modify it and then reinsert it in the archive.
What I was looking for is something more user friendly.
Images created with mac, protected with a password, are ok but are not compatible with windows.
Viceversa, U3 is compatible with windows but not mac ... -
I have a Mac Book Pro with 10.6.8 and want to back up my files using a flash drive. It says I did it but when I tried to check on my other Mac - an I Mac with 10.5.8, thedata does not seem to be there. I cant see photos, etc.. It shows the backup as a file and shows various system info. but there are no photos or other files shown.
Thanks for any advise.
MikeA PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data. Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier. I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4. If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place. I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop
How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look. Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
(Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail: you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..." If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
Anyway, glad that all is now sorted. Enjoy the music! -
I converted aif files to mp3 files in iTunes so I could put them on a flash drive. Now when I transfer an album to the flash drive I get both the aif files and the mp3 files on the flash drive. How do I get the iTunes to only copy the smaller file?
My suggestion to use the smart playlist was more along the lines of making one list with rules to show everything in your library as long as it was kind "mpeg" (= mp3).
Smart playlists cannot be edited manually, only by changing the rules. You can use them as the basis for another smart playlist though.
There is added overhead to using smart playlists, so don't go overboard. -

Why does Encore restrict importation of certain video resolutions?
As a new Encore user, my jaw dropped when I discovered that Encore retricts importing (PAL) video assets to only 720x576 or 704x576 especially now that so many other DVD authoring applications offer other DVD compliant resolutions of 352x288 and 352x
