When I saved a file an extra file appears with ~ at end of the file name

When I work on my file named "Track 2005-2006" and then save it, I end up with 2 iMovie Project Files:
1. Named "Track 2005-2006,
2. and one named:"Track 2005-2006~"
Then sometimes I'll get an iMovie Project File named:
"Track 2005-2006.iMovie2Project"
What is up with that? They all seem to be identical...but as I edit them individually they start to become diffferent. I can't keep track of which one I am working on.
Why do all these different file names show up?
Thanks
Russ

They all seem to be identical..
Usually they are not identical, which can lead to problems.
The project file that ends with ".iMovie2Project" exists only in projects that have been converted from iMovie 1-4 to iMovie 6.
The other two project files — one with a tilde and one without — exist in all iMovie 6 projects. One is the current version of the project — created when you last saved. The tilde file is the project as it was BEFORE you last saved.
A true iMovie 6 is a package designed, in part, so we can't easily access these project files. We simply double-click on the project package icon and the correct project file opens. (The one WITHOUT the tilde.)
Unfortunately, projects converted to iMovie 6 use a traditional folder instead of a package, allowing the user to see the three project files. This can lead to confusion, for the user may open the wrong project file by double-clicking on it. Double-clicking on the tilde file opens the project as it once existed, not the current version, which is confusing. Then when you save, iMovie creates yet another project file with two tildes. You can end up creating quite a mess.
To avoid this confusion after converting an old iMovie project to iMovie 6 it's a good idea to open the project and choose Save As to create a new copy of the project. The new copy will be a true iMovie package and work like other iMovie 6 projects. Then you can discard the converted project.

    Hello! Can't open an IDML file. ID file was created in CC (10). It is a 100 page (50 spreads) doc that is one big table. It was created in CC (10) and saved as an IDML file.

Any/all advice is greatly appreciated as I am up against a deadline with this unopened file! Many thanks in advance, Diane

    There's a good chance the file is corrupt. As whomever sent it to you to verify it opens on their end.

    == This happened ==

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?

    When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?  It does not happen with all the pictures.

    Is you library a "referenced" or "managed" library:
    That message is generated when a library is a "referenced" library and the location of the files have been moved from where they were when originally imported into iPhoto.
    Are the photos that this is happening to in the same Event(s)?
    What system are your running?  Where is your library located? How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

  • How to change "_review" at the end of the file name in Acrobat XI Pro

    For our business workflow, we need to be able to change the "_review" at the end of the file name when creating shared-review PDFs. Older versions of Acrobat Pro allowed me to customize the ending of the file name before it was saved as a shared review PDF. For example, when we send the initial review PDF, we append "_Review"; when we send a mark-up PDF (to capture changes before the next revision), we append "_Mark-Up". However, the XI Pro version does not (it automatically appends "_review" and doesn't give an option to change it).
    Is there something I need to configure in my settings to allow file name changes for shared-review PDFs?

    So why did you said that in your first posting? My glass sphere is out for cleaning...
    Instead of type c use strings and add spaces until they have the appropriate length.
    loop at outtab assigning <pout>.
      while strlen( <pout>-val ) < 135.
        concatenate <pout>-val `` into <pout>-val.
      endwhile.
    endloop.

  • Remove Line feed at the end of the file while using file adapter

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement. We are sending a file from SAP to FTP using file adapter. we are successful in sending the file to FTP but at the end of the file a extra blank line is created .
    Can anyone please suggest how to remove the extra line feed at the end of the file.
    Thanks and Regards,
    LRK.

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/frameset.htm
    To define an additional string as a separator after the last column in a row, specify it here. The system skips this string when it processes the last column (otherwise the system would treat it as part of the last column).
    Also there are solved threads which deal with same problem....you can even check them out...

    There is no "type of file". It's all zeroes andones.
    thing is am wrintin a file. I want to set the
    type(extension) to be .iso. how can i do that???If you want to make the extension ".iso" then just end the file name with ".iso".
    If you want to make the "type" iso, so that it can be manipulated by an iso application or whatever, then you have to make sure the bytes you write are of the proper format.
    As already stated: Files don't have a type.
