pagemaker files mac os 9

Had to get a new server.  Now my Mac os 9 machine is not recognizing my pagemaker files on the new server.  Have to open them as untitled then resave every time I open the files.  Old readynas didn't have this problem.

    Hi dsnow67

     

    Welcome to the Community!

     

    What message do you get when you try to open the file? That should not happen, did you recently updated your software? Have you tried opening the file on a different computer?

     

    Btw Mac OS 9 is a very, very old operating system. The first Mac OS X release (the successor to Mac OS 9) was way back in 2001.

     

    Which model was the old NAS and which model is the new NAS? Which firmware version is on each unit?

     

     

    Regards

      The pagemaker files appear correctly with the pagemaker icon when viewed from the mac os 9 origanally.  But after I open the file for the first time and then save it back to the server, the files appear without the pagemaker icon when viewed from my mac os 9.   At this point I am forced to open the files from inside pagemaker and they open as "untitled" so  I am forced to rename the files and save over the old files every time I open one.  If I copy the files to my mac first, they work perfectly.  And they worked perfectly on my old server.  My old server was a readynas pro rndp 6350 with radiator 4.2.31.  My new server is RN426D2 with version 6.9.3.

        Hi dsnow67

         

        Do you notice when asking you to save the file if the file extension changes? This request might be happening since you are saving it on a new location.

         

        Getting "untitled" to means it's a new project. If you can provide me screenshots when being ask to saved and when checking on the file we might be able to verify.

         

         

        Regards
