Mac OS 10.5 (or lower) Installer Note: Please understand that Apple is no longer supporting OSx 10.5, which makes it difficult for us to support it too. Another solution we found is the you can not use '/' in the name of your file. It will allow you to save it on your mac, where as in Windows it says you can't use the character / (backslash) however once you save it and reopen it on a mac, it will be read only. File Viewer allows you to view any file on your Mac. Simply drag and drop any file or folder onto the program window. File Viewer supports playback of many common audio and video formats, and can display many image, Web, and page layout file types.
Apple apps such as QuickTime Player, Photos, and Keynote work with many kinds of audio and video formats. Some apps prefer specific formats, but QuickTime movie files (.mov), most MPEG files (.mp4, .m4v, .m4a, .mp3, .mpg), some AVI and WAV files, and many other formats usually work in most apps without additional software.
Older or specialized media formats might not work in your app, because the format requires software designed to support it. If that happens, your app won't open the file or won't play back its audio or video.

How to search for an app that works with your file
Opening Mac Files On Pc
You might already have an app that supports the format of your file. If you don't know which of your installed apps to try, your Mac might be able to suggest one:
- Control-click (or right-click) the file in the Finder.
- From the shortcut menu that opens, choose Open With. You should see a submenu listing all of the other installed apps that your Mac thinks might be able to open the file.
If none of your installed apps can open the file, search the Internet or Mac App Store for apps that can play or convert the file. Include these in your search:
- The name of the media format. If you don't know the format, select the file and press Command-I to open an Info window. The format might appear after the label Kind, such as ”Kind: Matroska Video File.”
- The filename extension, which is the letters shown at the end of the file's name, such as .avi,.wmv, or .mkv.
