Archive function isn't creating smaller files. PLEASE HELP ME!

Hello. This is my first time posting here. I'm very frustrated.
When I try to make an archive of a file, the file remains the same size as before I archived it. I've checked permissions on the documents I've tried to archive, and there's no issues there. For example, when I archive a 4.3 MB pdf, it remains that large after archiving. Same thing with a 28 kb word document.
It's driving me crazy. Please help!

Doesn't it compress the file, so it takes up less space?
Picture it this way, cinch a rope around a chunk of Uranium, the end product is going to be bigger, cinch a rope around a cotton ball & the end result will be smaller!
Basically how it works is a file with a through z in it will be called out one a, one b, one c, one d, and so on... to one z. A file with 26 As in it can be called out 26 As.
It's real use these days is not so much on files, but being able to include all files in a Folder, including the folder, in one file, for sending or backups.

  • Can't Create New File, PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Hello,
    I've been trying to read the previous forums on this topic and none of the advice has worked for me. I am running Photoshop 7.0 on Windows XP. It has been running fine for several years until this week.
    I ran the Spyder 2 Suite to calibrate my laptop and LCD monitor and now the problem has arisen. One of the software's requests was to disable Adobe Gamma so I deleter my Adobe Gamma Loader.exe file from the start up folder.
    As I went to create a new file in Photoshop, nothing would happen. The whole drop down menu for File was grayed out and I would have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of Photoshop. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, as well as uninstalled the Spyder software and still can't create a new file.
    I checked and my Adobe Gamma Loader is back in the startup folder.
    I also tried deleting my printer and took down my firewall like other posts have listed but those also did not work.
    Please help!!!! I need to get back to some work asap!
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    try resetting your preferences per the faq:

    also make sure you're running ps 7.01 there were tons of bug fixes in that update over vers 7.0.

    There is a script running which Noscript lets me forbid, called akamaihd.net. It runs a script which is the same as in html when you highlight a word then attach a url to it.
    I don't know why I am seeing it but not others. FF and Chrome seem susceptible to it. It's not malware as usually thought of because no virus/malware program finds it here.
    Unfortunately, I have to forbid this script for every site I visit.
    In the other thread where your browser displayed an 'i.trkjmp.com' link which isn't really in the web page, I gave you a Google link for info about the problem. You said that it must be something else. Well, for months now, Chrome and Firefox users have been troubled by extensions which cause the 'i.trkjmp.com' problem. You might want to revisit the link I gave you.

  • HOW TO - Create new from clipboard and process multiple files - please help

    Need help - have new version of photoshop on trial only ATM...
    Want to know - HOW TO:
    1. Create new from clipbaord
    2. Process multiple files
    Please help.

    For clipboard copy, I start with File > New and the size will be set to what's in the clipboard. Then once the new file is opened, Edit > Paste will place the clipboard contents as a layer in the new document.
    You must remember to use the command Layer > Flatten Image of you want to save as jpeg or any other file format that doesn't support layers.
    For processing multiple files,
    File > Automate > Batch or
    File > Scripts > Image Processor...
    Check the User guide or google information for those commands if you have specific needs.

  • When pressing the "R" on the keyboard to record the following pop up - "Beta-only warning message-not to be localized Can't create record files please report" and then this "error occurred Result= -48"  What does this mean?

    a -48 error is a duplicate filename.

    Sorry for not getting back with you...
    That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
    iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
    I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
    This is good you still have it.
    Try this...
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
    Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
    Does everything work okay?

  • Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?

    You can edit a file, go to save, close it down, then when you re-open it the changes made have not been saved?? No error message or warning pops up, and it all looks ok like it has saved properly, until you open it up again. This also happens when you use 'save as' command if you use the original file name. If however you type in a different file name - it saves ok. But obviously that is not great as you cant now trust or rely on the save mechanism of the programme, to make sure any changes to artwork have been stored!! I have never seen an issue like this, it is worrying, I hope somebody can help?
    Thanks.
    We are running CS4 on windows7 - yes PC!!!

    We save in EPS, and its not just one file, its a variety of different files and it seems to be random as to which files it does it on, some work fine - some don't. And it can be anything from a minor text change to a colour change, it doesnt seem to matter on the change made, it reacts the same.
    The files are saved over a network connection to a large external hard drive.
    Its really puzzling and now starting to cause problems as we do a fair bit of work in it, and can't trust one of the most important features, and that any changes that have been done have been saved and stored!
    Hope maybe you can help with any thoughts at all.
    Cheers.

    Lost unsaved Garage Band File - PLEASE HELP
    I had an audio file made on Garage Band but it was unsaved. I left my computer on at night and for some reason this morning my computer had seemed tor restart. I opened the garage band file but nothing came up.
    Is there any way I can recover this 'unsaved file'? It must be stored in cache somewhere.
    Someone please advise.
    Thanks.

    I would just like to say Thanks to HangTime up there. This trick worked 100% ... I had recorded 8 or 9 rather long tracks; for an unexpected reason (first time I've ever seen the "gray screen of death") the popup window came up and in several languages told me I needed to restart the computer; did what it told me to, begrudingly. Came back online, opened the GB file, nothing was there. Yet, when I checked package contents for the file (which I didn't even know existed, compartmentalized "Media", until after reading this), there were the tracks! I owe you both for getting this up and running... album creds just may be in line. ~Matt

  • MouseOver StaticText to run Complex Function in class file (please Help!)

    Hi, My current issue is this:
    I have a Function called "utptab(x)", where x is an integer. The process of the function isn't too important and is complex (it populates the type of table in the Basic pallete with data from a stored procedure in MySQL based on the parameter passed to it. This all works fine).
    Since the function is currently sitting in the main Java class (Page1.class) I can call it from anywhere in the main Java code successfully. For example, if I drag a button to the stage, then double click on it to get to actions and insert the line "utptab(2);" The function is successfully processed and the table (tbl_utp) is successfully populated with data.
    My aim: I have 2 static text box's called "st_utp1" and "st_utp2", When I mouse over them, I would like the function "utptab(x)" to be called with the appropriate number, eg, if mouse over "st_utp1" I wish for the function to be called as "utptab(1)" when over "st_utp2" I wish for the fucntion to be called as "utptab(2)". I may have hundreds or thousands of "st_utpx" (they will be created and named dynamically later).
    My Main issue: I can't call the function "utptab(x)" located currently in the Java side of "Page1.class" with a mouse over a static text event, does anybody know how?
    Ontop of this, I would also like to make the table (tbl_utpx) to move to the x,y position of the cursor on the screen and also render visible on mouse over the static text box and hidden on mouse out. (I already know one method for hidden/visible method).
    I would prefer to be able to handle mouse events in Java, not JSP or at least choose to hold my functions where ever I like and call them from where ever I like.
    Just one other question, since I'm using JSC2, Where should this procedure lie for best security and performance? The table only needs to be read only, and the data only needs to be available while a mouse over event happens (to me seems like it should be in the request scope). Should it be a seperate class file? If u need I can post the code on request but didn't want to draw away from my main issue.
    Cheers.
    P.S. it took me a long time to find out how to populate the basic table with a stored proc from MySQL (2 months), I haven't seen any other code to do this nor to populate from a tabular file, am I the only one to do this or wanting to do this? Does everybody that want's to do more complex things than pretty web pages use a different IDE than Creator 2?
    Once again looking forward to the response and sorry if I led away from the main question, which was: How to call a function that is located in a class file from another part of the program or another file?
    Cheers, from 3Pc

    Cheers for the response, Tried that, couldn't get it to work, do u place taht code in the staticText onMouseOver property?
    Here is the basic code in the Java.class (what u get when you usually click the Java button)
    * Page1.java
    package a1;
    import    ...
    public class Page1 extends AbstractPageBean {
        public String utptab(int utp) {
            FieldKey[] fk = new FieldKey[0];
            RowKey[] rk = new RowKey[0];
            CallableStatement stmt = null;
            Connection conn = null;
            ResultSet resultSet = null;
            try {
                Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();           
                conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/corrovu?user=root&password=Glancino");         
                stmt = conn.prepareCall("{call utpn(?)}");         
                stmt.setInt(1, utp);         
                stmt.execute();         
                resultSet = stmt.getResultSet();
                CachedRowSetImpl crs = new CachedRowSetImpl();
                getSessionBean1().setCrs(crs);
                getSessionBean1().getCrs().populate(resultSet);
                conn.close();
                getTableRowGroup2().getChildren().clear();
                getCachedRowSetDataProvider1().setCachedRowSet(getSessionBean1().getCrs());
                fk = getCachedRowSetDataProvider1().getFieldKeys();
                rk = getCachedRowSetDataProvider1().getAllRows();
                FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
                Application app = ctx.getApplication();
                ValueBinding vb = app.createValueBinding("#{currentRow.value['"+fk[0].getFieldId()+"']}");
                ValueBinding vb2 = app.createValueBinding("#{currentRow.value['"+fk[1].getFieldId()+"']}");
                getStaticText4().setValueBinding("text", vb);
                getStaticText5().setValueBinding("text", vb2);
            } catch (SQLException se) {
            } catch (Exception e) {
            return null;
        public String button1_action() {
            utptab(2);
            return null;
        public String button2_action() {
            utptab(1);
            return null;
    }You also need to add a property to SessionBean1 called crs, it be of type cachedRowSetImpl, now you need to drop in a cachedRowSetDataProvider, bind it to "crs" and have this as the data provider for the table, You will have to create at lest one column for it to register. (Creating Columns dynamically will be my next chanllenge after this).

  • DW CS3 conflict with server & uploading files (please help?!?!)

    I work with one other person and although we work on files locally, when one of us tries to push a file up to the remote server we get an error that reads:
    "name of person" is currently working on that file (Please enable Check In/Out in the Site Definiteion dialog box to avoid overwirting changes made by otehr users.) Do you want to upload the file anyway?
    Neither one of us has enabled Check in Check out feature either. My question is that I know this person isn't even in Dreamweaver or connected to the server. Two strange things:
    1) Dreamweaver gives the actual person who is trying to upload the error saying that they are currently working on the file.
    2) Dreamweaver actually gives me that error message but it's telling me that someone who left the office over two years ago and who I know no longer has an account on the server. How can she currently be working on a file or even linked to that file name???
    We thought this glitch would go away when we got new PCs and loaded CS3 but it hasn't. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me figure out why we keep getting these issues.
    THANKS!!!

    That's a server side issue. Either its timeouts are set way too liberally (to the server, your FTP connections never seem to end) or it creates a new session for every time you log on. Both are fundamentally wrong and from your description I get the impression that the machine is also otherwise not being maintained properly. Time to fly in the admin, I'd say.
