the_gooch Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Ok here is the deal: my friend saved illustrator 7 Mac files to disk for me, and my PC is unable to open them. Well actually nothing is popping up at all, no icons, nothing. I assumed that he saved them so i would be able to open them cause i have been able to in the past when others have done the same. I suppose there is no way of me being able to open them on pc. I was thinking of going to Kinko’s and opening them on a Mac then emailing them to myself. My friend is a little out of the loop, is there a way I can have him save the files so I can open them on a pc?? Thanks in advance for advice, wise ass remarks, or photos with no text.

Guest Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 digs lending the helping hand. you might need 'mac opener' to see the cd volume. I bet the files are there and it's just a disc read error. but if diggity's helping out... no need for me. asides from posting a random picture!!!! http://buy.overstock.com/images/products/muze/music/457952.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gooch Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 i think i got a friend locally who is gonna hook it up. like i said, nothing is showing up at all when i put the disk in. so even if i wanted to email them to you i couldn't. thanks though.

Teh0wnz Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 The disk was probably formatted on a macintosh, which makes it unreadable on a pc (in most cases, I'm sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppa.k Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 pc's can't read mac formatted disks, but macs can read pc formatted disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
