Using files from Windows in Mac

If I create a webpage design in dreamweaver on a windows pc and save the file, can I then open that same file on a Maccomputer running dreamweaver?

Thanks. I am creating a website with my nephew helping. I have windows and he has mac.

Does MacOS recognize Windows directory structure? Can I move an entire folder (consisting of subfolders and files) from Windows to Mac?

Can I move an entire folder (consisting of subfolders and files) from Windows to Mac?

Mustafafromnc,
if you’re talking about a USB drive, then it will probably have an exFAT filesystem. Modern versions of OS X can read from and write to exFAT filesystems without problems, so you would be able to move Windows folders, subfolders, and files from an exFAT filesystem to an OS X filesystem.

Can't attach file in icloud webmail using firefox from windows or mac. any ideas?

anyone else having trouble attaching file in icloud webmail using firefox or internet explorer from windows or mac. i was able to get it to work from safari on a mac, so i guess it must be a browser thing, only enabled or working in safari?

I had the same problem since last Thursday. I have tried and re-tried all of the settings suggested by the support posts but I can not get email to go out of me Outbox.

Moved my Raw files from Windows to MAC - did they automatically turned to JPEG???

Very new to the MAC!!! I just loaded Elements 6 for the MAC on my new Macbook Pro. I had
about 500 photos that I transferred from my old PC via USB drive to the Mac to Iphoto. They were shot RAW+JPEG. When I open them, it appears in Iphoto that I really have 2 jpegs - on my old PC I have two files per photo - A blue PSE and a Jpeg. What transferred to Iphoto is 2 JPEGS that are basically the same size as their Windows counterparts - 9 MB and 2 MB, respectively. They both have JPEG extensions and when I open the large one in PSE6, i get the regular PSE6 menu - not the RAW options for adjusting WB, temperature, histograph, tint, exposure, etc!!! Am I a complete Moron???? I think so!!! I was expecting to have this all work like my PC? Basically - what is going on, where are my raw files and converter and what do I need to do to work on raw files on the MAC?????? Thanks and I am really enjoying this computer. But getting the cross platform transfer from Adobe was a ***** (10-12 calls over 10 days - and cost $28! Thanks for any help

I knew you would come to the rescue, Barbara!!! And you are right! I do have CR2 files on the PC and I drag/drop them to the USB drive - where they stay CR2. It is in the importing to IPhoto that IPhoto turns them into JPEG (I notice when the CR2 file goes over, for a millisecond - the resolution of the thumbnail gets a little less sharp - so I guess that is what is happening). At any rate, when I just connected the USB drive and dragged the CR2 file to a folder on my MAC and opened it with PSE6 - all was perfect!!!! It opened with the RAW converter!!! - YOU are absolutely right! Iphoto doesn't know how to handle RAW. So, I guess that is how I will transfer over RAW files from my PC. BTW - in Image Capture - it was set to "no application". Should I keep it that way and just import files from my Canon 40D (which will come over from a card reader) to a temporary desktop folder? Thanks again!!!!

Transferring possibly infected files from Windows to Mac

Hi,
I have recently bought a MacBook Pro, having moved onto it from Windows. However, I have many files that I need to transfer over, primarily photos and documents (i.e. Word and Excel). The problem is that the laptop likely had numerous viruses on it, so I am wary of transferring the files directly. I am told that many Windows viruses do not affect Mac, but have similarly been warned that I should not take this for granted. How can I safely transfer my files to my Mac? Are there any virus scanners that would be worth installing?
Thanks,
Marcus

It's correct that Windows viruses do not infect Macs. That does not mean that you should transfer suspect files to the Mac without concern. You might end up sending some to a Windows user without realizing what you have done. The best approach isto scan the suspect disk on a Windows machine that has good AV SW installed and clean it up before transferring the files.

Split & Import WMA file from windows to mac

I have bought several wma files online that are rights managed that I want to play on my ipod. A few days ago, I found a workaround to getting them from the internet to my ipod - download file on the windows side of my mac (I have XP installed and use boot camp), play for a few seconds on the windows media player to acquire the license, burn to CD and then go back to the mac side and use CD to download songs to itunes, then to ipod. Works great except for this problem:
I just bought a file that is too large to get onto an audio CD. I am trying to use software to split the file but I think the license is preventing me from doing this. Anyone have a suggestion?

I'm not sure that solves my problem. I still have to start on the windows side to acquire the license by playing the file a few seconds on a windows media player. Then I have to burn the file onto an audio CD in order to import it into itunes on the mac side. My problem is the size of the file is preventing me from burning it onto a CD. I'm not sure how a program like Switch would help.

Using ipod from windows to mac - cannot copy songs to mac

I was using my ipod on a Windows XP system. I now have a Mac Pro. It connects to the Mac just fine and I can play the ipod with iTunes no problem. I have a handful of songs that are on the ipod only and not on the PC or Mac. I cannot get them to copy back to either machine. Why?

iTunes doesn't allow that - music that's in there as music that plays on the iPod does not transfer to a computer. (This is probably because RIAA and Diamond got in a fight years ago over the potential for people to use a Rio to share MP3s - sounds kind of dumb now, when we all have DVDR drives, doesn't it?)
If the files are from the iTunes store you should be able to retrieve them from there onto an authorized computer.

Transfer files from Windows to Mac

I need advice on transferring from a Windows/Dell hard drive to an Apple Mac Laptop

Just copy the files you want to transfer to an external drive connected to the Dell. Then move that to the Mac and copy them from the external to your Mac.
Doesn't matter how the drive is formatted because OS X can READ Windows NTFS formatted drives.
I suggest you forgo the use of the Migration Assistant system as it doesn't work as expected and for the simple fact that no programs or settings can be transferred from a Windows PC to a Mac. Only personal files can be transferred and it is much simpler to do it manually.

Transfer a shared file from windows to mac

I need to get a file over to my MacBook that's on my Windows machine. I did it a while ago using sftp but I can't remember how I did it. The computer shows up under the Shared sidebar as family but then it asks me for a user name and password. What user name and password do they mean? I have no account passwords on the windows machine and it won't let me go in as a guest. Could anyone help me fix this.

You need to setup a shared folder on the windows machine with guest privileges. You can put that file in the shared folder and access it without a password from your Mac.

How come a USB will work with both Mac and Windows (as in that there are already files from Windows and Mac can still read and write onto it) but a external Hard Drive won't (as in there are files from Windows on there but Mac can read but not write)?

I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.

We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
Format the drive
It should now work on both OSs; report back

Anything printed using Bonjour from Windows to Mac is very light in color

I dont get this at all. And it only started happening very recently. When using my printer connected to my Mac, and printing from my Windows Vista laptop (using Bonjour of course), all of the colors are very light. Black text is light grey, and all of the other colors are very washed out. I have no idea whats going on here. My printer is a Canon MP160.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

I have the same problem after I updated to 10.5.5 yesterday. My Canon MP 780 works perfectly printing from my mac and all the networked macs in the house. When I connect the printer to Vista (on my mac) running in Parallels directly (by checking my printer in "Devices- USB"), it works perfectly; but when I try to print networked from Vista via Bonjour, it uses blue ink for text. Prior to the update it printed perfectly without having to connect it to Parallels.

How do i convert my music and pics over from windows to mac using a external hard drive.

New mac user. How do i convert my files from windows to mac using external hard drive. I am using a Seagate freeagent go flex.

leave as is and add NTFS driver to write to the drive / migrate maybe / reading NTFS drives isn't always perfect, some times external drive case has trouble mounting or staying mounted and suffers slow copy speed after awhile or with large files which is why I suggest Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X.

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX? I'm having SO much trouble with this! Any help would be appreciated!!!

In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.
