Mac files on a PC?

[Furyline]

Hey,
I recently went on a trip and the leader put together a CD of pictures from his digital camera. Problem is, he made the CD on an apple iBook and I get errors when I try to view the files on my PC. Is there anything I can do to get this to work? Or will we have to redo everything to make it work?
Mike

PC recognizes them as JPG files, but cannot open them.

odd--have you tried re-burning the disc?

Anything burnt with OS X at least is burnt in ISO 9660 format(the CD standard), and OS X is extension-centric, so if they say JPG, they should be JPG. Have you tried another image viewer?

I've tried gimp, mspaint, acdsee, none of them view the pictures. I know there is nothing wrong with the pics themselves, as the original pics on his mac were fine. I will have to talk to him tomorrow and see if he can use the cd on his mac. I'll also get him to re-burn the cd. If all else fails, I can put the pics on my pc and make a cd from there (hopefully he hasnt deleted the pics off of his camera.)

You could ask your friend to upload them.

you could network between a PC. FTP into the mac from the PC and move the files ..

I'll try the FTP thing tomorrow. Thanks for all of your help 🙂

Humor suggests going to reshooting all the same pictures to solve your problem....logic and serious posts to follow will surely contradict 🙂
