Serializing an objet on Windows and deserializing it on Mac...

Hi,
I would like to deserialize on a Mac OS X platform objects that were serialized (same class) on Windows, but it doesn't seem to work. I suspect this to come because from what I heard Mac has a different interpretation of binary files than Windows (big, small endian?).
Do you have any other idea about this problem? Should I serialize as text (XML)?
Thanks for any help!
Mariano

Yes, I am sorry for my ignorance. I am more familiar with C++.
I have serialized objects on Windows with VM 1.4.1. On Mac OS X, they are a bit behind, as they still only have version 1.4.0. I have downloaded a version 1.4.1 but this seems to be a beta. Will try out with that, to see if it solves the problem.
I was otherwise wondering if it may just be that Mac OS is somehow converting the serialized files to its own format. If you tell me that there should not be any problem on the Java side, then I will try to explore that possibility.
Thanks anyway for your assistance.
Mariano

    I have a licence for Master collection 6 windows and I switched to mac. Can I switch the serial somehow so I would be able to use it in my mac?

    AppleWorks is not legally available for download. You would need to buy a copy. HardcoreMac.com still lists AppleWorks 6 on their website. You could also try eBay but you would need to make sure it is AppleWorks 6.2 or newer to install on OS X.

  • I purchased Photoshop Elements for windows and need it on mac

    I purchased Photoshop Elements for Windows and need it for Mac.  Can I reverse this or is there a way to get the right product?

    I don't know if things have changed (I get the feeling they have as of late), but normally an Elements license can be applied to either platform, so you should be able to download the trial  version for the Mac and use the serial number to activate it.  If you have any problem you should be able to resolve it with customer spport thru chat.

  • HT2477 Are documentS created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other

    Are documents created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other?

    As with a lot of software, it depends on the version of Word, and what features the author used.
    Technically, Office 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac are supposed to be feature compatible. As are Office 2007 for Windows, and 2008 for Mac.
    However, if a person using Office 2010 / 2011 used a feature that only exists in that version and sends the file to someone using Office 2007 / 2008, they would very likely have trouble opening the file, or having it display as intended.

  • How do I share windows and iOS on my MAC book pro

    how do i share windows and iOS on the same hard disk on my MAC? will each of the operating system see the whole disk?

    Either you don't understand or misuse just what iOS is, it is only found on iPad, iPhone, iPod and does not run on Macs in any way, and as far as we here the only operating system of interest is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or above.
    There are forums for iPad and if you have a notebook then you want MacBook Pro forum.
    As for Windows, there is a forum for "Boot Camp" to set aside and use part of your hard drive for Windows to run natively.

  • Why does a CD open in Windows and not in my Mac, when in Parallels?

    I might not have the correct forum here but you may be able to help. Every time I put an audio CD into my computer when I have windows open in Parallels, the CD only opens in the virtual windows. Why can't I access the CD in Finder and can I change this?
    Many Thanks
    Andy

    Hi
    I don't use Parallels, but a similar thing happens with Virtual Box. The virtual machine grabs hold of the CD and it disappears from Mac OS X. Most of the time it's what I want, but I guess if I'm playing a CD in OS X and then start up a virtual machine it could be annoying.
    In Virtual Box, there's an option to turn this off so that the virtual machine doesn't see the CD - maybe if you hunt around in Parallels you'll find a similar option.

  • Can i use my license for one work computer(windows) and my personal computer(Mac)?

    As the title says. I's it possible? After what i could find i'ts possible if both computer are running the same OS?

    To run that on a Mac, you'd have to first install Windows using Bootcamp or Parallels or similar.
    Then install CS6 in the virtual Windows environment.
    With the Cloud version, you can install natively on either Mac and/or Windows without any operating system specific issues.

  • Using iPod on two computers: one with Windows and one on a Mac

    I have a video iPod that I have used with iTunes on a Dell PC, but I recently bought a MacBook and want to still use this iPod on the new computer. I have the iPod set to "manually update music and videos," so it won't erase all my music. Is it possible to use the iPod on the new computer, or is there anything I can do? I haven't tried anything yet because I don't want to plug in the iPod and then have my music erased. Thanks for the help.

    As long as the ipod has been formatted on the windows computer and it is in manually manage, you are fine. If you ever need to update or restore the ipod do it on the windows computer. Mac can read a windows ipod, windows cannot read a mac ipod. You will also need to authorize the mac if you want to play any purchased content.

  • Why is there an "open as" in Windows and not in a Mac?

    Can't find how to open a jpeg file in Photoshop ACR.  I can do this on a Windows machine, but not on a Mac.  Does the click/cmd r switch work from Bridge?  Anyone to help out is greatly appreciated.

    You can do it on a Mac, it just works differently. Instead of choosing Open As, you choose File > Open and then in the Open dialog box, you select your JPEG and then choose Camera Raw from the Format pop-up menu near the bottom.
    The difference might be because the Open dialog is one of the places where Photoshop meets the operating system, so Adobe probably is working with what each OS gives it.

  • I have CS4 (Windows) and now have a Mac computer, is there any way I can download to the Mac?

    Does anyone know if there is a way to download my Windows CS4 to my recently purchased IMac.

    No. you are long past any upgrade and platform swap eligibility. You can only buy a new license or sign up for CC. It's a moot point, anyway. There are serious compatibility issues with CS4 on OSX 10.10, so it would be nothing but trouble.
