Beware: new file format and the consequences

Yesterday I updated both Pages and Numbers to 5.0. I played a little with a few documents and found out that way too many features are missing to get it working for me, of which the most important one is mail merge. I use that very heavily and it isn't there. So I deleted the new versions and went back to iWork 09. Then I found out that the documents I played with cannot be opened with iWork 09 anymore (as mentioned in other discussions). No problem I thought, I can always get a previous version from Dropbox ...
I invite all of you who are in the same postion to check these files in Dropbox to see what Pages and Numbers did with it ... All previsous versions are gone, and the file is now similar to what an application file looks like in Finder: a file that you can open and that consists of many other files.
A was a huge fan of Apple, even some sort of evangelist, but for the moment that is completely gone. The above mentioned problems are not the only ones I have, since the update to Maverikcs the mail.app is not fetching new email anymore, flags are missing, mail is missing ... I had to revert back to Outlook 2011 this morning.

i'm guessing you're running OS X version 10.4.x on your Mac.
if that's the case, you can download iTunes 9.2.1 from here, however, you need to be at least on OS X 10.4.11 to install it.

every new released update of Lr from v 5.2 changed somethin in my Windows 7 Professional settings. I am stucked. Can somebody help me please? Many thanks. Andrej

Hi Jim,
yes after I imported my .cr2 raw files into new catalog it started to work. Windows 7 still does not recognize them but I can edit them as you said within the Lr5.6 and then export them into .psd or .dng files...as needed.
I bought Lr5 only because I got present - my new camera Cannon 70D and because my older Photoshop CS5.5 raw plugin does not recognize. cr2 files.
Many thanks for your help.

Verity and New File Formats

I've searched the help files, KB, and forums and don't see an
answer to this question: Are there ever updates to the Verity
search functionality in ColdFusion to accomodate new file formats,
such as the newer versions of Word, PDF v7.0 and 8.0, etc? While
the search functionality of CF is great, it's somewhat limiting if
it can't be updated to index the latest file formats.
So does anyone know if it's possible to update Verity
(without waiting for major version upgrades in CF)?

You are asking an excellent question, Jos!
Converting all of the videos to DV-AVIs before combining them in the same project is an excellent idea. Because you are using a Mac, however, you should use the DV-MOV as your common video format. To do this you should use Share/Computer/MOV using the PAL-DV preset. (There are many types of MOVs. A DV-MOV is a specific type of MOV that is used when shooting and editing video on a computer.)
IN DUTCH:
U vraagt een heel goede vraag, Jos!
Het omzetten van alle video's naar DV-AVI's voordat ze te combineren in hetzelfde project is een uitstekend idee. Omdat je een Mac gebruikt, echter, moet u gebruik maken van de DV-MOV als je gezond videoformaat. Om dit te doen moet je Share / Computer / MOV met de PAL-DV preset te gebruiken. (Er zijn vele soorten van MOV's. Een DV-MOV is een specifieke vorm van MOV dat wordt gebruikt bij het opnemen en bewerken van video op een computer.)

Virus has changed all the office file format and cant open those file

Hello
Recently I attacked by some new virus which is changed my all the office document files and added a extra extension after the office file extension.If I manually change the infected file extension to orginal file format and try open it shows error message.
Although having System Center Endpoint Protection how could it would be the affected by the virus ?
Now please suggest me how to recover the those files to orginal file format or recover MS office file???
Thanks

Hi,
Anti-virus solutions are necessary to protect your system but it can never be a 100% secure.
Once Office files are damaged by the viruses, we can't guarantee the files can still be recovered.
Anyway, you can still try the "Open and Repair" feature in Word to repair the file.
Take Word 2013 for example, click FILE -> Open -> Browse to the file location -> Select the document -> Find the "Open" button, click the "Open and Repair" button from the drop list. Check if this can repair the document.

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

While trying to import photos from my Canon 5D markIII, iPhoto displays an error message which says unreadable format and the following files could not be imported. Please advise???

While trying to import photos from my Canon 5D markIII, iPhoto displays an error message which says unreadable format and the following files could not be imported. Please advise???

the screen shot does not display (a Forum bug ) and if it did it does not answer the questions
Seriously we can not see you and if you refuse to answer simple questions we can not help
Need information to help
what version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.8 as you state correct for the OS? Has it ever worked? What has changed since it worked? Will Image Capture ( in your applications folder) import the photos? How are you importing - USB to the camera? USB card reader? built in card reader?
Any other clues that would help a total stranger who can not see you or your computer assist you?

Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame st

Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame still there. Is there a "apply change" or similiar command that I simply cannot see.

brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame
PSE did what you told it to do. Choose the Straighten and crop edges or fill edges options when you use the straighten tool if you want it to do more than just straighten the contents of the image. Many people prefer the plain straighten because they'd rather crop themselves than let PSE do it.

CS4 - Additional File Formats and Effects Installation

We are operating in a networked environment and are experiencing trouble with After Effects 9 (CS4). Frequently AE wants to connect to the Web and download/install additional file formats and effects. The "student user" accounts do not allow this and the process fails. Some AE projects REQUIRE these additional components, so as we encounter this problem we log on as a local administrator and allow the application to update these components.
Is there a way to make these components part of our standard software library, so the next time we re-image a lab everything is in place? These additional components do not seem to be included in the standard Adobe Updater. Or perhaps there are a few directories which just need an adjustment to their NTFS permissions?
I haven't seen anything on the Web about this, nor in these forums. Has anyone else encountered this while in a networked enviornment? Solutions?
Thanks...

Lets assume that the correct (English) serial was entered during installation, and that there were no inconsistencies with language options...etc. At what point do those 3rd party codecs and plug-ins get installed? After first launching the product, or only when an AE project requires additional components?
I just did a fresh install on a new machine and never saw any dialogue box or alert about AE downloading and installing anything "extra". We don't set up any of our systems for multi-lingual use, and I'm quite certain another language was not specified during the install. I'll double check, but it would be useful to know what the trigger is for checking for these additional components, and if I can force it to happen on the machine I'm setting up as my master.
Thanks...

Exporting pdfs to word and excel file formats and translating

Hello, I am new to this forum and came here because I am a professional translator. Although we should be given documents in their original file format, in the real world translators have to convert pdfs such as manuals or annual reports into word or excel files. Given the fact we often work for agencies, and/or do not work directly with the people who created the original files inthe first place, with the best will in the world we normally have to make do with converting the pdf file, or lose the job.
I would like advice on the best way to learn more about pdf to word and excel conversion and ways of keeping formatting when it is helpful and removing what is not.
The general problem is (well the problem is really ignorance on my part!) of course getting the "look and feel" similar in the converted document and knowing more about manipulating the formating and elements which get converted.
Any help or pointers to online tutorials whether multimedia or text much appreciated.
David Hardisty (david1610)

Thank you Lori, this is so clear! I am a teacher as well and there are clear presentations and wonderfully clear presentations and this is in the latter category.
A tiny suggestion. You would not believe how many pdf files exported to word I have received that are Portuguese content and the sender has not set the language to Portuguese! So in your text entry you might want to mention the language setting. I know it is obvious, but as we know sometimes we cannot see the obvious!
I will need to look far more carefully at the final things in your video.
Are there any special considerations for exporting pdf files as Excel? My original doubt was I had to translate some accounting documents. 95% of the document was numbers which did not changing (except for commas to periods and vice versa due to different separator conventions). I did not now how to just select e.g. the vertical column with text. I will go back and try with this suggestion because in this case the look and feel of the numbers was important and the precise fonts etc. seemed to cause problems. But now I am getting out of my depth!
Thank you again!

File formats and locations

Hi I am a new mac user in the process of transferring data from a PC to my new macbook. I have transferred my windows folders containing photos to the "pictures" folder on my mac. To view these in iphoto I need to import photos to iphoto however this creates some questions, especially as I still want to be able to backup these photos onto an external hard drive to view on my PC. My main questions are:
1) Where does iphoto save imported photos? Does it create a new file or reference the existing one? (Am concerned that I will create 2 copies of everything and waste hard drive space.
2)What file format does it use. My photos are all jpegs. Do they remain in this format?
3) Going forward, when I import directly from my camera memory card, can I get iphoto to file the photos in the folers that I want to then export back to my PC?
Sorry for all the questions just getting to grips with my new world.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By default iPhoto copies the original image file into it's library package as jpgs. If you need a copy of the photos on an external HD that your PC can access then your workflow should be as follows:
1 - upload from the camera to a folder on the desktop using Image Capture.
2 - name the folder so as to identify the contents. I use the date and a brief description of the shoot: 07/27/09-Baseball camp.
3 - import the folder into iPhoto which will give you an Event with the same title: 07/27/09-Baseball camp,
4 - copy the folder from your desktop to the external HD that is formatted so PCs can access it.
5 - delete the folder from the desktop.
This will give you two copies of the photos: one in the iPhoto library and the other on the external PC formatted hard drive. Since iPhoto is not a cross platform application that's how your workflow will have to be in order to do what you want.
FWIW it's safest to upload to a folder on the Desktop because you can verify that the files have been successfully copied to your Mac before reformatting the memory card with the camera. I use a card reader to upload from my camera's memory card. Safer and usually faster that direct from the camera.

Preview file format and codec.

Hello yall
How are you guys?
So When I open Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and make a new sequence, in the General Tab at the bottom, there is a Preview File Format and Codec.
and they are both set up as MPEG I-Format, How do I change this?
Also in the sequence preset, I am using HDV 720p25, to make the screen size 1280 by 720.
If you have trouble understanding the above please ask for more information.

when i export and select match sequence settings it goes to the mpeg I-frame and i cannot open it
Changing the preview codec will not change this. Also, don't use Match Sequence Settings. It's not what you want to do, despite it seeming to be the easy solution.
i am uploading to youtube. so i have to make the dimensions 1280x720
In that case, you'll get decent results by selecting H.264 as your export format, and then choose the YouTube HD preset.

MAC OSX 10.9.5: What is this strange file format in the Open Dialog box?

Hello all.
I'd never really noticed this, but I saw a rather unusual file format in the Open dialog box and was wondering why it appeared as it did. It appears as follows from the file/open dialog box:
To be completely transparent, I'd originally posted this image on my twitter feed to @illustrator. Since then I have been in communication with Scott but the advice has been to reinstall Illustrator. If this had happened on one machine, I'd be inclined to agree that this may do something, but since discovering this unusual format, i've since seen it on six macs running OS 10.9.5 and illustrator version 18.1.0 OR 18.1.1
Can anyone else confirm that they see the same thing; or if there is a difference, what this format is meant to actually be. I suspect this is a bug but need confirmation by other users.
Colin

The error occurs on all machines I have tested. 5 of the machines have the suitcase fusion auto-activation plug-in, but one had no plug-ins at all. All software was installed literally "out of the box" from the creative cloud.
UPDATE - tested 3 more machines in the office all running 18.1.1 on OSX 10.9.5 and they ALL do the same thing, all installed with the suitcase fusion auto-activation plug-in, but otherwise installed "out of the box" from creative cloud.

In mini bridge, is it possible to view the file name and the rating at the same time?

Hello,
In mini bridge, is it possible to view the file name and the rating at the same time?
Thank you.

if you know when a new image arrives and you can retrieve that new image file name ...
Well, that's precisely my doubt, how can I know the file name? Is there a property/method for it?
function loadImages() {
for (var i:int=0; i<imagesNames.length; i++) {
var imgLoader:Loader=new Loader;
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imgLoaded);
imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(imgPath + imagesNames[i]));
function imgLoaded(par:Event):void {
trace(par.target,par.target.content,par.target.content.name);
Output window:
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance160
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance159
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance161
