Why, when transferring files from windows to OX OS, I can't view jpegs

I just recently purchased a new IMac Air and I am trying to transfer files from my old PC to my Mac Air. Whe loading jpegs, I get an error meesage when opening them up. The error message indicates that jpegs are a file that preview does not recognize. I transferred the files using a USB memory stick.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.

OK, thanks for that, but im sill unable to read the windows eudora files in eudora for OS X.
First ive used BBedit and textwrangler to open the windows eudora .mbx files. Then ive saved them without the .mbx line and moved them into the Eudora folder --> Mail Folder. What happend here is that when running Eudora the the single mail files in that individual mailbox file become one huge file, with all the text flowing on from one to the other in the same file.
Next, i tried FTPing between windows and OS X. I did this, making sure i was uploading from the pc in ASCII. Pulling them down into the mac, removing the .mbx and transferring to the Mail Folder of the Eudora Folder and then opening eduora, these files are not recognised at all.
Any further help will be most appreciated!

  • Sound Buzz when transferring file from Trash to desktop

    I get the occasional Sound Buzz when transferring file from Trash to desktop
    Its a Short "grounding" buzz similar to slowly plugging an electric guitar when the amp is on, but its loud !
    I am just using the internal sound,

    Brett - thanks for that input, but as stated in my original post this happens whether I do the copy within Finder, or from inside Bridge.
    Your note did inspire me to try one thing though: I UN-checked my Bridge preference to export caches to folders when possible, then I went to the folder I was trying to move (on the NAS) and did Tools > Cache > Purge Cache. I found that if the folder contained only files and no other folders, then I could move the folder to my desktop. However, if the folder in question had nested folders, then I still run into the same conflict.
    Question: since this conflict does not happen when moving a folder from one computer to another computer (but only from the NAS to a computer), I'm not sure how your logic holds when you say "Bridge is trying to cache the files you are moving and creates a ".BridgeCacheT" file before the remote version is copied"
    To answer your other question, we use AFP or at least is says "afp://server.local" when we connect. My apologies for not being an expert on this. The icon of the NAS on the desktop looks like the icons for the other computers.
    Thanks, I'm still trying to solve this. It's really become a major problem for us as we now have to drag files individually (rather than by folder) when we want to do something with them. -- Jim

  • Migration assistant created a new user when transferring files from a PC to mac

    I just bought a new macbook air and proceeded to transfer my itunes music files from my old PC to my new mac using the migration assistant.  I could not find my music files that I had transferred in itunes on my admin user account but later found them on another user acount that I had not created. I was wondering if there was a way to collapse the two user accounts into one or transfer my music from one account to the other? (I tried using an external hard drive but it would not add my music files to the itunes library). Any ideas??

    Cattus Thraex wrote:
    I agree with the idea of an enhancement request, MA should have some more options if used later, normaly users a curious to log into the fresh system, and transfer data and settings at a later date.
    Unfortunately, a "merge" option, where it would add things to an existing user account, isn't realistic.  That would work fairly well for such things as documents, where everything is in separate files (although settings and preferences would get a bit tricky).
    But not for things like iCal, AddressBook, or Mail, where there are complex structures.  Trying to merge those in any automated way would be very complex.   Even worse would be 3rd-party apps that Apple can't possibly know how to handle.
    One thing that might help would be rewording the "You can transfer information later using Migration Assistant" line at the bottom of the Setup Assistant window:
    A number of us have asked for that to be worded differently -- warning that it's much better to do it first, or not to install stuff you're going to need, or something.   All to no avail, of course.

  • Transferring files from Windows, names of songs not correct in iTunes

    so I have my music on an external hard drive from my windows machines. The songs 'file names' (what you see on the HD) are correct. When I tried to bring some over to iTunes, via add to library, the info was added as 'Track 1" ect, with no artist or album info. In the itunes music folder, it was sorted as the artist folder (I copied and pasted from my HD)...
    I also tried to 'import' from itunes, and still the info was not correct.. when I tried the advance button to get cd info, itunes told me I couldn't do it because i didn't import with itunes, even though I did import from the external HD with itunes....what is going on? Does the 'get track listings' onlyl work if you are importing CDs?
    Also since itunes just looked at the files as 'track 1' etc, that means the MP3 file did not have the correct tags, so I have re-enter everything? That the files I was seeing was just the names I gave the MP3? Does this mean I have to go back and enter the correct info for all those mp3 that itunes read as "track 1" "track 2" etc?
    TIA

    It sounds like the artist and track names are part of the file name and your Windows player was grabbing that info from the track names. iTunes does not use file names to supply such information and instead uses standard internal tags to hold this information and when you imported the tracks into iTunes it supplied some default info. You will need to edit the tags using a tag editor, such as the one built into iTunes or an external one such as can be found on VersionTracker.
    Gracenote lookups can only be done on tracks and albums that were directly imported by iTunes from the original CD. Importing music files from any other source cannot be looked up.
    If you still have access to a Windows machine, you could try running the files through MusicBrainz using Magic MP3 Tagger. I have not had much luck identifying taggless or unknown songs using iEatBrainz for the Mac (these programs are available on MusicBrainz).
    There are some scripts in the Managing Track Info section of Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes that will copy filenames to track tags that can automate converting filenames to tags, but there are limitations on what can be done and you will still need to manually clean up the data and to add tags that cannot be added using such a script.

  • Transferring files from windows media player

    how do i transfer all my library from windows media player and napster into itunes? when i first hooked up my ipod to my computer it prompted me to convert my whole library but now i can't figure out how to do it again.
    thanks

    how do i transfer all my library from windows media player and napster into itunes?
    For songs you ripped yourself from CD, you simply find the WMA files and drag them into the iTunes library. It'll convert them.
    For songs you purchased on Napster and such, you can't. Napster and Wal-Mart and all those stores that sell WMA files are incompatible with iTunes and the iPod. Don't buy from those services in the future.

  • Parameter Error when Transferring Files from ipod to laptop

    Hi,
    I have posted this topic previously but didnt respond fast enough and I think the system locked it down as I had too long of a delay.
    I have recently set up iTunes on a laptop and want to start using this as my default iTunes for syncing etc. Unfortunately I no longer have access to the desktop that housed my original iTunes so I have followed the instructions to use my ipod as an external disc and transfer the files this way.
    These are the instructions I have followed http://lifehacker.com/105256/how-to-copy-songs-from-your-ipod-to-your-pc
    There are two issues I see. (1) the ipod control folder is allowing me to see what is housed in the folder but it is slightly greyed out compared to the other folders in the same location.
    (2) when I try and copy the music folder to my desktop etc I get a parameter error.
    So for example the error I have when transferring to my desktop I get
    "Cannot copy OUTO (the file): The parameter is incorrect.
    Hopefully someone has seen this before.
    thx

  • Transferring files from Windows PC to MacBook Pro

    I've been trying to transfer files from my Windows PC to my MacBook Pro using the Migration Assistant. Both the computers are on the same Wi-Fi network. The MacBook however is unable to identify the WIndows PC and I am unable to progress further. What am I doing wrong?

  • Help with transferring files from Windows to MacBook Pro

    Just got a new MacBook Pro and need to transfer files from a very old Windows operating machine. Have the Seagate Slim portable drive.  I downloaded the online software to format it for the windows files (taking 4 hours).  Now, I'm told it will not work on the Apple product.  Has anyone used this and had success? Or is there an easier way?

  • 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!!!!

  • Why does Illustrator CC crash when opening files from Windows 7 64x file manager?

    This does not happen with any of my ogher CC applications; and the files open just fine when opening from directly within Illustrator. It doesn't matter if it is an AI, EPS, or PDF file. The program just crashes. What I thought was a glitch a few months ago, seems to keep happening, and despite at least one (1) update, it still isn't fixed.
    Am I the only one having this problem? Thankfully, Illustrator is about the least used of my programs so I'm not ready to pull out my hair just yet.

    UPDATE:
    I have since updated all of my CC applications to 2014, and this issue has ceased. I am marking this issue as answered, but it is not truly resolved.

  • Why am MP's changing greatly when transferring files from iPhoto

    I recently purchased Aperture and transferred about half of my iPhoto files over to Aperture.
    (1)
    I noticed that all my TIFF photos that I did years ago with a Nikon Film and slide scanner are being greatly reduced in file size and converted to jpeg.
    The average file for the TIFF's is 4.0 MP and they are being reduce to 0.5 MP in Aperture.
    (2)
    My jpeg's that I took with a digital camera are being increased in size.
    I have not checked every one, I did a sample of about 20-25 pictures.
    I did a lot of a PP with the files using PSE in the past, I cannot say for sure each and every one of the 25, but probably most of them.
    Do I need to change some import setting ?
    Please understand that I am not a great computer person so please be patient if I am not perfectly clear.
    I can hopefully answer any follow up questions.

    Anyone ?

  • Question about security issue when transferring files from PC

    I am in the process of looking at macs. I have always been a PC user and have been EXTREMELY impressed with the features of mac os x. Here's the question. I am probably sure that I have one or more viruses on my PC, what PC doesn't right? When I get my mac, I'm looking at the macbook, I see that I can transfer my files over from a PC to my new mac. The problem is. I want my files, but I'm leery about transferring a virus over also. I've heard about the security of macs and I am wondering if this is something I need to be worried about, or if it won't be a problem. Is there any steps I will need to take to ensure that I don't bring any viruses over with my files? Thanks for the help.

    P.S. I am really starting to get sick and tired of Vista. I had to download VLC media player to play my Windows Media files because my Windows Media player on Vista WILL NOT play the files meant for that system. Arrrghhh Sorry for the vent.

    Be sure to scan all your files for viruses before moving them from the PC to the Mac. Although PC viruses should have no effect on a Mac, it's still possible to pass on a virus to a friend via email.
    Do You Need Anti-Virus Protection for Your Mac?
    According to Rich Mogull's article, Should Mac Users Run Antivirus Software?,
    "The reality is that today the Mac platform is relatively safe. There are hundreds of thousands of viruses and other malicious software programs floating around for Windows, but less than 200 are known to target the Mac, and many of those are aimed at versions of the Mac OS prior to Mac OS X (and thus have no effect on a modern Mac).
    It's not that Mac OS X is inherently more secure against viruses than current versions of Windows (although it was clearly more secure than Windows prior to XP SP2); the numerous vulnerabilities reported and patched in recent years are just as exploitable as their Windows equivalents. But most security experts agree that malicious software these days is driven by financial incentives, and it's far more profitable to target the most dominant platform."
    Mr. Mogull is a computer security expert. I recommend reading the entire article as it is quite informative.

  • Transfering files from Windows machine freezes my wi-fi connection

    Guys, this is very weird, and it started to happen a week ago.
    I use finder to connect to my windows machine on my home network, and after typing my password, I get access to the folder in the windows machine that I want.
    The problem is: any file I try to transfer FROM or TO the windows PC freezes up mac os X after some seconds of transfer ... like a 60 mb file, it freezes after 20mb have been transfered ... and that's not only it ...
    It freezes mac os x until I get the message "Connection to server LOST", and I only can get back on the network if I literally shut down my wi-fi router, because my macbook simply can't get DNS ip assigned again, it always auto-assign some weird ip and doesn't come back to the network till I restart my wi-fi router.
    What in the **** may be going on ? Remember, it started to happen lately, it was not like this before !
