All web images are being saved as web clippings...

Dear Apple Community,
For the past 2 days every image I try to save to my mac from a website (via Safari), remote server (ie: .me), etc. Is being saved as a .RTF web clipping. When I click on the files, TextEditor opens, but the file is empty even thought "Get Info" says that the file has 200 KB, 500KB, etc. I have always saved all images by dragging and dropping to my desktop and it has always worked fine... Except for the last 2 days!... Any Ideas?

I'm not sure what you mean by "web clipping"--I am familiar with .RTF, which is Rich Text Format and RTF files are opened by TextEdit as the default, they are text files that include formatting information. I don't believe grabbing an image and dragging it out of the browser window and onto the Desktop would miraculously change a graphic file into a complex text file.
I think the first thing I would try is to right or control click on an image on some web page you have opened, and select "Open Image in New Window"--then note the URL in the address bar, especially the extension of the image (.jpg or .png most likely). Drag the image out of the browser to the Desktop. If it acquires the RTF extension try changing the extension to .jpg (or .png, or whatever it was) and see if it will open properly.
If the address of the image is not in the form of http://somedomain.com/imagesfolder/image.jpg but rather something rather odd looking--especially if it includes the word "data"--I would suspect some extension installed in Safari recently and/or updated or turned on recently is causing the problem.

  • AppleWorks documents are being saved automatically as Unix files. How?

    Working on a G3 iBook with OS X (10.3), all AppleWorks documents are being saved as Unix Executable Files by the program despite the dialogue box saying they will be saved as Appleworks documents complete with ".cwk".
    After a while of successfully opening these files via Get Info/ Open As, AppleWorks itself refuses to open up and I have to reload Appleworks onto the computer from disk for another brief lifespan.
    Ideas? Help please.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The files aren't actually saved as Unix executables, your system just thinks they are. I find this kind of file confusion often occurs if permissions aren't repaired using Disk Utility after a system update.
    You can "re-teach" your system what program opens those files. Click a known AppleWorks document in the Finder to highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose AppleWorks 6. If AppleWorks 6 is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the AppleWorks 6 application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with AppleWorks 6.

    Is there a way to not have photo stream photos save to my iphone?  i have many shared photo streams hoping to not bog down my iphone space.  but alas the photos are are being saved on my iphone.
    For example.  When I share a photo stream with my dad and brother and mother all the photos they are putting in the shared photo stream are taking up space on my iphone!  I'll be out of space in no time at this rate.

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

  • Using Adobe Export PDF, I converted a PDF document into MS Word. However, all the images are missing

    Using Adobe Export PDF, I converted a PDF document into MS Word. However, all the images are missing--replaced by black rectangles. How can I fix this? Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi Ravinder,
    As I mentioned in my email to you, I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior your described.  The images appear properly.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • Hi all, when I open a New Tab pg all the images are blank - I've tried clicking on the blank images, & dragging a link from the Bookmarks, without success!

    I want to achieve at least one of two things: either set New Tabs to open with Google automatically; or at least, to have Google pinned to the New Tab page. (Google is my home page.) When a new page opens, all the images are blank. I've read through the Help pages & tried various things. I've tried dragging Google from the Bookmarks to the New Tab, but this only opens Google. I've tried clicking on the blank images, but nothing happens. I've toggled the blank images off for now, so at least I don't need to look at them. I am doing a university course online, so efficiency is really important to me! Those extra clicks really add up & distract!... Thanks in advance :)

    I too experienced the same issue.  Here are my details:
    Recently I bought a 15” Macbook Pro and last night I tried to connect and use a Edirol FA/66 Firewire 400 connected outboard audio interface using a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter then connected to a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter since the MBP doesn’t have a native Firewire port.  What I observed is that the Edirol was not getting power from the bus nor did the MBP (running Yosemite) recognize the Edriol.  At first I thought there was a problem with the Edirol since I haven’t used it in a while but when I connected it to an older MBP that has a native Firewire port, it worked normally.  Is there a known issue with these sorts of external audio interfaces working properly with newer MBP running Yosemite?  I’m hoping that a software update will fix this issue.

  • Runtime Images are being loaded only when i move Mouse Over them

    Hi ,
    I am displaying Images on to a Datagrid at Runtime .
    The isssue is that Images are being loaded when i move mouse over the rows of DataGrid
    Please tell me , how to resolve this issue ??
    Thanks .

    If you know the size of the images, have the renderer return measuredWidth
    and measuredHeight that reflects the size of the image (or approximate
    size).  There should be past discussions on this topic.

  • With ios6 where do my pictures go when I click "Save Photo" from Facebook? I can't find where they are being saved.

    I just downloaded IOS6 and now I can't seem to save pictures from Facebook to my iPhone. I click on the picture as I always have and click "save photo", however I can't find where these pictures are being saved. They are not showing up in my photos folder as they once did. Please help!

    I was having the same issue and just figured it out.  There's a setting you have to turn on to allow Facebook to access your photos.  One it's turned on it starts working.  Here is the location:
    Settings > Privacy > Photos > turn facebook to ON

    You need more than one backup. Hard drives do fail. You can also try a clone.
    Clone  - Carbon Copy Cloner          (Often recommended as it has more features than some others)
    Clone – Data Backup
    Clone – Deja Vu
    Clone  - SuperDuper

  • My CR2 files are being saved as PNG and not PSD

    When I import files into Elements 12 Organizer, I want to use the Instant Fix Smart Fix option. The CR2 files are being exported to the PNG format, and I want them to be PSD files, I don't have a way to return to the options of how to save my files by using the Instant Fix button. I really would appreciate some help on this. I can't seem to get any tech support by navigating the Adobe Web site - I always land in the Forums.

    In PSE12, whenever I want to use the smart fix option in the organizer for a raw file, I get a dialog with various format options and the possibility to check one of those formats by default. If I check the checkbox to always use that format and not to display the menu, I find myself in the same situation as yours.
    I don't know of a way to get the menu back... Deleting the organizer preferences should help, unless other users have a better idea.
