Please, how do I convert an automatically ',tiff' file (From using GRAB to save a picture!) - to a .jpg file?

When I use Grab on my iMac (OSX 10.6.8) the picture put on my desktop is in ".tiff"!
How do I covert it instead to .jpg - (for sending as email attachments?) PLEASE?

Preview will convert it. Right-click, open with Preview (if it doesn't automatically launch) then save as jpeg.

  • How do I convert thousands of TIFF files to PDF while preserving their individual filenames?

    I currently have a library of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of TIF documents.  We're going to switch document management programs so I figure this is an opportunity to cut the files over to a more user friendly format like PDF (everybody hates TIF). 
    I need the filenames to remain the same since this library of files is indexed by filename. 
    Is there any way to do this automatically?  Manually cutting over each file is not plausible.
    Thanks!
    Edit:  This may also be an opportunity to significantly reduce the size of my library, especially if I could make the resulting files "Reduced Size PDF's" compatible only with Adobe X and up.  If converting everything to a reduced file size is possible then that's definitely the way I'd like to go.

    If you adjust the printer properties to not open the PDF that is created after it creates it and adjust some of the properties of the Adobe PDF printer, you might be able to set up a batch file to print to the Adobe PDF printer. Been a while since I have done batch files and am not sure what would be required. You might have to define the default printer in the command line to be the Adobe PDF printer and see if that will work with the basic print. The key may be to have a delay to be sure the print process is completed before continuing.
    OK, I am just throwing out a possibility. I have no idea if it would work. However, it is a possibility if the batch process from Acrobat will not do the job.

    You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
    If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.  To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.

    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

  • How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) I made into an mp3 file on itunes?

    How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) that I made into an mp3 file on iTunes? I want to put it on a CD, but I can't figure out how to convert it. I didn't buy it, I made it by converting a YouTube video into an mp3 (I wanted to get the little song in the video for a ringtone.) I'm not sure what to do. 

    Hello ed2345,
    Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
    It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
    I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
    These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
    After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
    As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
    That's how the .m4p file looks like
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
    And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
    Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
    Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

  • How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

    How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

    There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
    You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
    If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

    How do I convert mail merge documents to individual pdf docs and save each with a field in the merge?

    Is this an actual field, or just some piece of static text somewhere? Either way, you can't do it using the Split Document command. You'll need to use a custom-made script to read the value of this "field" and use it when extracting pages from the file.

  • How do I convert a photo booth file to an AVI or MP4?

    How do I convert a photo booth file to an AVI or MP4?
    I tried exporting the file from Quick Time to my desktop, but the file extension reads as .m4v - is that compatible with other pc?

    The M4V format is a video file format developed by Apple and is very close to the MP4 format. The differences are the optional Apple's DRM copyright protection, and the treatment of AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio which is not standardized for the MP4 container.
    If your M4V video is not unprotected M4V files and without AC3 audio. It may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ".m4v" to "mp4".
    So you can try to change the file extension and check if it works. If it doesn't work, try Leawo video converter(for windows or mac) and convert m4v to mp4 format.
