Got everything over to the PS3 in the "save Data Utility". Five or six games appear there, but will not open. I can't play them. Any ideas? Steve Thanks again, Simon.

Check your desktop and the *username*->Downloads folders. Otherwise, hold the ctrl key while clicking on the download, and select Reveal/Show in Finder.

I was able to transfer the 'game save' files to the "Save Data Utility" on the PS3. The icons are visible, but the games will not open. Is it possible that the download to my computer was not complete? Each download took less than 30 seconds. Thanks for any idea you might provide in solving my problem.

However, my problem is that I* cannot copy the gavesave from the download window. Usually, I can just drag the download from the window to my desktop or I open it in the download window by clicking on it. It then can be saved on my desktop. With the gamesave files, I cannot drag them to my desktop and I cannot open them by double clicking o0n them. I think the problem is that the files cannot be read by the Mac and therefore prevent saving to the Mac. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks. Steve Thanks for your answer, Simon.

Little to do about that, sadly. Your trophies are user specific - they're synchronized with one of Sony's servers. You'll need to log in on the new PS3 with your old account. You can then use the sync to regain your trophies. Hope that helps :-) Some games don’t allow the importation of game save. Little to do about that, sadly.

I kept the existing one 4 myself, but we have not been successful in transferring all of his game files across. Specifically, Fallout 3. We got his game files over, but he is not allowed to save on top of them. Furthermore, he is not able to earn any trophies. We have different PSN accounts on each machine for his profile. Is there any way to transfer trophies and game files across PSN accounts or to sign on in a different name on the machine? My dad received a new PS3 4 Xmas.
