Windows to Mac.  File numbers don't match.

On transferring images from Windows to Mac, the file numbers were renumbered starting with B.  Blank files are also showing with the old DSC file numbers.  Can they be synchronised?

My UNIX skills are a little rusty, but you should be able to change the permissions recursively from terminal. Try using chmod -R to change the permissions on all subfolders within the directory you copied over.
That is the drawback of using a CD/DVD to copy files over. They become read only...
Good luck...

  • Windows to MAC, file picks up errors

    Has anybody ever had this problem, I made my movie on a
    windows pc but now i am trying to put it on a MAC but for some
    reason when i put it on the MAC i get these problems:
    1. My flash movies do not play
    2. the buttons on my MIAW do not work
    3. My database code comes back with an error
    I ran my movie file on the mac and off a pen drive and got
    these errors, but when i use my pc i can run the file off my pen
    drive and off my pc with none of these errors does anybody know
    why?

    The four most obvious reasons which come to mind are:
    1) The path delimiter character on Macintosh is ":" where "\"
    is used on Windows
    2) You do not have Mac versions of the required xtras
    installed
    3) The line break character on Windows is Carriage Return +
    Line Feed. On Macintosh, it is simply Carriage Return (RETURN)
    4) Characters whose charToNum() value is greater than 127 are
    different on Windows and Mac.

  • Maxdor OneTouch 4 Plus formatting for windows and Mac files

    Is it possible to format/partition a Maxdor OneTouch 4 Plus for accept both Mac and Windows files? If yes, how is it done?

    I'll give your suggestion a try - as soon as I can get the program to load. What am I doing wrong? I plugged in the Maxtor per their instructions. My Mac recognizes the icon on my desktop and I can open it. However, the "Mac OneTouch" icon does not open either by double clicking or by choosing "File", "Open". The user's manual opens and i've followed it's instructions as well as gone to the Seagate website and used their installation tutorial. What more should i do before I return the thing?

  • Genius says my numbers don't match and the phone has been tampered with. Can anybody help?

    I have an iPhone4S 64Gb, which I bought from the Apple Store in Covent Garden in December 2011. Recently it developed a problem where it won't shut down (it restarts itself) and the battery life has deteriorated significantly. Having read about this in this Forum, this seems to be a known issue, and a replacement is needed.
    Sure enough, the Genius Bar at Covent Garden took one look at it and wanted to replace it. But then there was a problem. Apparently, one of the serial numbers on the phone (the chassis) does not match the ones on sim tray and software. The Genius (Barry) and his manager (Adam) both said that this could only be a result of tampering or non-Apple servicing. They say the chassis part comes from a batch which originated in Bulgaria.
    What??!!
    My phone has not been touched by anybody but me since I bought it in December. There's no way I would let a non-authorised dealer touch it - I know full well that it would void the warranty, wouldn't trust it, and anyway I've always had a really good Genius Bar experience. More importantly, it's been fine - no need.
    So, what then? Their hypothesis is that somebody has tampered with my phone without my knowledge. As is probably true for many iPhone users, my phone is not far behind my wedding tackle in the extent to which I am attached to it, indeed it spends a lot more time in my hand and line of sight. The idea that somebody could have had access to my phone for long enough to have opened it up and resealed it, having changed parts, without my knowing, is completely absurd. I just don't believe it.
    And why would they? If you're going to steal a phone, then steal it. Barry's theory is that some people steal legitimate serial numbers in order to qualify for Apple servicing. Really? Wouldn't they still have a phone with mismatched serial numbers that Apple then wouldn't touch? It seems utterly far-fetched.
    In short, I have no idea how Apple managed to supply me with what appears to be a dodgy handset. Supply chain failure, admin failure, I don't know. I know that it hasn't been 'serviced' by anybody, but I can tell that Barry and Adam don't believe me. They believe that the fact of mismatched serial numbers are incontrovertible evidence of tampering. (I'm minded to point out that they opened up the phone out of my sight, hence becoming the only people with the opportunity - and expertise - to do exactly what they're alleging has been done).
    The issue is now with Corporate Customer Servcies. I'm not hugely optimistic.
    Has anybody out there experienced anything similar? Can anybody offer any theories (preferably without straying into corporate conspiracy fantasies) as to how the numbers may have become mismatched?
    Grateful for any help.

    I'm still in "recovery mode" after a huge fight with our local Applestore.
    About 6 weeks ago, my wife's 13 month old iPhone 4S developed the "won't turn off" fault and was replaced, out of warranty, for a fee of £139 and with a 90 day warranty.
    About two weeks after that we realised that there was a sound problem when trying to use Facetime (the person on the other end couldn't hear us) but as we have ipads in the household, we didn't immediately persue it and assumed it was down to some setting problem.
    Two weeks ago my wife was shooting some video with the phone, something we hadn't done before and on playback there was no sound.  We realised then that the phone probably had hardware issues and arranged to take it back to the store for repair or replacement.
    I wasn't anticipating any problem when they said that it was a hardware issue and assumed that a replacement would be supplied.
    They looked inside an found that a dozen screws were missing and all the EM shielding that's normally screwed in place was also missing.  On this basis, they refused to repair or replace.  Things got a little tense after that.
    I KNOW that we didn't remove any parts.  I find it impossible to believe that even if a third party had obtained access to my wife's phone, that they would have opened the phone, removed the screws and EM screens (including the one that has the QR code serial number), put it back together and then returned it to its original position.
    As I repeated ad nauseum to the manager of the store, the only possible other option was that the phone was supplied in that condition.  After an hour and a half of arguing, sometimes quite loudly and refusing to leave the store until they replaced the handset, they caved in.
    I don't believe that Apple quality control is 100% accurate.  In fact I'm sure that no manufacturer's QC is.  How our handset slipped through the net I don't know but it did.
    I don't know whether this story will help you in any way but I hope you get your problem resolved

  • My Illustrator file icons don't match what the actual file image is. How can I fix this?

    I'm using Illustrator 5.0 with MAC OS 10.8.4 and the Illustrator file icons are different thatn the actual file image. It's using the same image for 5 different files. THey all started out the same, but I edited them and then did a save as, but the file icon image didn't update. How can I fix this? I tried resaving the files and copying the files, but it didn't work.
    Thanks
    Michelle

    Are you on CS5 or the very old AI5, which a few vinyl cut shops may have?
    Do a save as , and enable PDF Compatible. That usually helps if the icons are blank, but may help you.
    If that don't help do a command I on the file, select the icon, and hit the delete key to see if anything happens.

  • After Effects CS 5.5 renders brighter gamma than my CS3.  Files gamma don't match

    I just upgraded to After Effects CS 5.5 last week.  I had a project come back that was originally done in CS3.  All the renders were done as the animation codec with an alpha channel.  When I open the CS3 project in CS5.5 and render out a composition it is brighter than all the original comps rendered out of CS3.  I have tired the checking the legacy quicktime check box in project settings but that didn't change anything.  I also have tried several color management settings.  Does anyone has any ideas of things to try. 
    Thanks

    Have you considered, that this may be related to the global Gamma change Apple introduced in OSX 10.6.7? It would be relevant for Quicktime, as QT is monitor profile aware. With regards to ProRes, that's its own story of madness for which Todd has some info on his blog. Maybe look into that as well. Concerning your effects I would look into whether hardware acceleration could be at play here, i.e. turn off OpenGL in the prefs, if enabled. Several filters do use this option and in light of the eternally lasting problems with this, it#s always a good idea to give it a look...

  • Portable Hard drive formating for use with windows and mac operating system

    Just bought a verbatim sure fire 500g 800 firewire portable hard drive for my new macbook pro. I have not did bootcamp yet because I am deciding on wether to use Vista or the new windows 7 that will be coming out soon. The drive is already formated HFS+, how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it. Help!!!

    how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it.
    Either format it to MS-DOS from the DIsk Utility, or install a tool such as MacDrive into Windows and keep the drive in its current format, or install the NTFS-3G driver into Mac OS X and format the drive to NTFS in Windows.

  • Accede to windows from mac, out of home....

    Well!, I need to use some programs from windows in mac, but i don't want to make a partition with boot camp or use parallels desktop, so I decided to install remote desktop. I have a router in my home so i connect the pc and the mac to the same network. When i accede from my house i can connect with the remote desktop and i watch my pc on the mac, but... When i try to accede from the university i just can't do it... Please i need help...

    Are you referring to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's product (which you have to purchase) for managing network Mac systems? Or are you referring to Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac? If you're referring to Microsoft's product, you probably should take this up in Microsoft's own forum. Most likely you either need to open and forward the port(s) Microsoft's software uses in your router, or your university is blocking the port(s).
    If you're indeed using Apple Remote Desktop, you need to install, or have installed, a VNC client on your Windows system. Then, again, you need to have the appropriate port (usually 5900) open and forwarded in your router and it will need to be open in your university's firewall as well.

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Windows 7 and Mac Lion partition maps don't match

    I recently upgraded the hard drive in my late 2008 Macbook, and I wanted to copy both my Windows 7 and OSX Lion partitions. I used Time Machine to back up my Lion partition and Windows Backup to back up 7. Then I switched the hard drives, restored Lion with no problem, partitioned the drive into two bigger parts than were on the old harddrive, and restored 7. My problem is this; Disk Utility in Lion shows the correct partition sizes (420 GB for Lion, 480ish for 7), but the Windows 7 Disk Management shows the old partition size (150ish for Lion, 160ish for 7). The rest is just shown as free space. I've tried using the "extend file system into free space" option in Windows 7's Disk Management, but that overwrites most of Lion's data (since Disk Management thinks that its free space). My question is how do I get the partition maps to sync up? I have rEFIt, but when I tell it to sync partition tables, Windows 7 crashes and won't start without a reboot. I'm starting to hate Windows 7...

    From your posts I assume that you have 3 drives:
    drive A - new internal with MacOSX and Boot Camp/Windows partitions.
    drive B - the original internal with MacOSX and Boot Camp/Windows partitions.
    Back up external drive(s) with TimeMachine  and Windows Backup.
    Forget the Backup Drive(s) for now.
    You will need a way to connect the original drive to the Mac via USB . If it is not in an enclosure then one of these connectors will do the job.

    I think you will need to use Winclone as Paragon is a windows startup application and I don't dee how you can do that unless you reinstall the original drive B (can't start Windows from an external drive). There is a Paragon recovery CD you can burn but I don't know what the limitations are with burning from the Mac. Maybe check with the company.
    Since drive-A has a good mac OSX install you need to clone the Boot Camp/Windows partition from the original drive-B to new drive-A. You should start up from drive-A and connect drive-B. Use Winclone to replace the drive-A Boot Camp partition with the original drive-B Boot Camp partition.
    If the Paragon recovery cd will work then you start from this disk and clone the original drive-B Boot Camp Partition to the new drive-A Boot Camp Partition.

  • Missing files in catalog shared between Windows and Mac

    I switch between using Elements 12 on a Mac (Mountain Lion) and a Windows 7 machine while managing a common catalog.  The catalog and media are stored on an external USB 3.0 disk drive attached to whichever machine I am using to work.
    This setup works fine except that on computer #1, the Organizer “loses” media files computer #2 has worked with, and vice versa.  The problem seems to be in the way Elements stores the media file location.
    Example:
    My external catalog and media drive is named “JS” and assigned drive letter G: on the Windows machine.
    File “IMG_0310.JPG” is stored in directory “2007 08 18”.
    On the Windows machine the location seen in the Elements Organizer Information panel is “G:\2007 08 18\”.
    Using the Mac, Elements reports the file as missing, finds it, and changes the file location to “\Volumes\JS\2007 0818\”.
    Returning to the Windows machine, the problem repeats itself and corrects the file location to use Windows-style path names.
    This wouldn’t be so bad if Elements was faster reattaching missing files, but the search for the first few reconnects takes a very long time and the whole process grows longer the more work I did on the other machine.   This is a major annoyance and time drain.
    Elements documentation promotes the use of an external drive for sharing.  Someone else must have run into this same problem.  Is there a way to configure Elements to overcome the file location problem?
    Thanks!

    I realize PSE 12 is new and many are still on PSE 11.  Is anyone using PSE 11 experiencing this issue?

    Thank you for the response!
    Looking at volume_table there are indeed two entries for the external drive (rows 3 and 5):
    The Windows entry on row 3 shows the correct volume serial number in decimal as assigned when the drive was formatted.  The hex version is 7A85-0647.  The Mac entry on row 5 shows a serial number that doesn't make sense from a Windows or Mac perspective.
    This is interesting but I'm not sure what to do with this information.  It may not be a bug.  It would make sense from a development viewpoint to use the serial number to uniquely identify the drive and have separate entries for each OS tied together by that serial number, allowing the drive path to differ by OS.  Although, in this case the serial numbers do not match.  Maybe the Mac and Windows versions of PSE 12 are retrieving two different serial numbers and therefore do not see the drive as the being the same, which would be a bug.

  • How do I save PSD files created in windows so MAC users can open and work

    I have been designing photoshop files for sale to photographers online and all of my work has been created in a windows 7 system. I had a photographer contact me saying that the PSD was trouble to open and that the fonts would not work on his MAC computer.
    Can someone supply me with information on creating/saving windows PSD files so that a MAC user can open them and also use the fonts I supply with the files.
    The files I create are multilayered PSD's and contain fonts for windows PC use and I don't want to exclude MAC users from utilizing my work.
    Any help appriciated.
    Bqwhitten

    Just save.  There is no difference in files between platforms.
    There are some Windows-centric font formats that aren't portable, by any OpenType or TrueType font will be portable between platforms.

  • I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

  • I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network.

    I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network." I seem to need to enter a security key/passphrase to connect to the PC. Where do I find them?
    Thanks for your help.

    I assume that you have Wireless Security enabled on your AirPort's wireless network. The issue maybe that the PC is unable to use the WPA password itself and will require using the Equivalent Network Password instead.
    To get this password, you will use the AirPort Utility from the MacBook:
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort base station > Manual Setup
    Now, before doing anything else, go up to the utility's menu bar at the top of the screen, and then, choose "Base Station," and then, Equivalent Network Password from the drop-down menu. You will see two items: 1) WPA Password, which should look familiar to you, and 2) WPA Pre-Shared Key. It should be a long hexidecimal set of numbers and letters. Jot down this second item.
    You will want to use the value you just jotted down when entering the password from the Windows Visa PC.

  • Adobe Muse with Edge Animate components plays great on the Mac but images don't show in Windows. Any suggestions?

    I am using CC with both Edge Animate and Muse. After uploading to the website host it plays great on the Mac but images don't appear when I'm using Windows. Any suggestions?

    Hi, VelveteenWebDesignGroup-
    You're in luck!  We just added in a feature to the latest version of Edge Animate CC (3.0) to enable the CDN option for OAM publish (what we call the "Animate Deployment Package").  This means that your Animate compositions can now references jQuery and the Animate runtime from the network instead of from the project directory.  (Please note that this will only make sense for Dreamweaver and Muse integration with OAM and won't make sense for InDesign.)
    To turn this on, launch Animate and go to File > Publish Settings.  Then select the Animate Deployment Package on the left and click "Host runtime files on Adobe CDN."  Save and publish, and you should be good to go.
    Hope this helps,
    -Elaine
