Folklore and FUD aside, file issues between Windows and OS X are damned near non- existent, PARTICULARLY for a long-time cross-platform application like Photoshop. The main solutions that the Great Google finds is: "a) wrong file format ... (it's not what Photoshop thinks it is) b) wrong extension ... (tif file marked "JPG" ... or psd file marked "GIF" c) newer file format on older version of software d) file previously corrupted or improperly saved" And most of these involved issues of opening files from like platforms...
