Can I manage file types?

I have a flash site with links to m4v files that I want visitors to be able to open in itunes. Safari won't open the file in itunes or allow me to save it to my desktop, it just opens in a new window using quicktime and won't save unless I purchase quicktime pro. Firefox lets me manage my file types so I can set it to open in itunes OR save to my desktop. Any way to get Safari to do the same?

You need to properly code your Web page to include a download option for your files.
Text based links will only open in a new page when clicked. A right click on the same URL could be used to download the file.
Tell your users to "right click" to save it.

I can't manage file and storage services in server manager.

I have a windows 2012 R2 server. I had turned on the file and storage services role and was able to configure a single share in server manager. A few days later I wanted to create another share but when I select file and storage services within server manager
I get the message at the top that says The server has not been queried for data since it appeared offline. Also there are no shares listed. Even though the shared folder that I already created is available from other computers.
If I try to create a file share anyway I am asked to choose a server to create the share on and the server appears in the list with a status of offline.
Now this may seem like an obvious connection issue however, I am trying to configure the server locally, not over the network. I can manage other services in server manager just fine. I have WDS and WSUS roles installed and can be configured with server
manager just fine. I only have a problem with file and storage services.
There are no errors in the event log.
I tried to remove the file and storage services role from the server but as soon as I uncheck the box for file and storage services I get a pop up windows that says:
The validation process found problems on the server from which you want to remove features. The selected features cannot be removed from the selected server. click ok to select different featres.
I lists validation results that simply state the name of the server and says "storage services cannot be removed."
How can I get file and storage services working again?

Hi,
How many servers are there in the list? If the offline serve is a remote server, please reboot the remote server to see the result. In the meantime, please new a shared folded on the local server in Windows Explorer to see if the issue still exists.
Please refer to the article below to share a folder with server manager.

Can you block file types???

Can you block certain file types from playing to force users to have a standardized file type to be uploaded to the server? For example, if we decide we do not want .wav files played on the server, is there a configuration setting to block/stop a .wav from playing from the server? I want to standardize the server and force end users to copy only certain file types into the vod folder.

That would be in the technology you use to upload the files.
If you build out a server side solution that would upload files to your web server you could do that, but no, FMS is about streaming what's already there or creating new files. It doesn't care how it got there...
Something like this: http://www.inaflashuploader.com/ might work for you. ( I think there's a max size limit to the files you can upload. just FYI )
**disclaimer i have not used this I just googled for a flash + php upload script **

When doing a Command+F search, can I EXCLUDE file types?

I need to find a logo called "5 Star". I know it is either a tiff or eps file.
I search brings 3000+ items.
Most of these are internet cache files, fonts and PDF files.
Can I EXCLUDE a file type when I do a command+F?
What happened to the "IS NOT" paramater in the find?
I see Name;
Is
Starts With
Ends With
Contains

Yes. If you use "Apple Command -f" , you can specify all sorts of search parameters (see OTHER) in an exclusive manner. You can only use the parameter choices which are provided, but for example, you can use "NAME + contains" "star" with KIND as "other" and specify "eps." or ".tif." Or use NAME + ends with ".eps."
I am not sure where the exclusion AND NOT feature went. Each list of possibilities is associated with the pre-canned options.

How to config tomcat or browser can open some file type in browser?

I use tomcat 4.0 (web server) for my project (JSP). I can upload file to folder of my web server. Some file type can read in browser e.g. .pdf .doc ,but some file type can't read in browser e.g. .ppt .xsl and etc. ? (http://localhost:8080//test.ppt --> it show some text,but can't read)
How to configuration tomcat or browser for every file type can read in browser? help me please...

In your tomcat confiruration files there must be some file for setting the mime types. You can add the required mime types to that file.
Or the mime type configuration can be a part of some configuration file, you can change it there. Please look in to the conf directory.

How can I associate file types with Dreamweaver so they open automatically?

I've just installed Dreamweaver CS4 under Windows XP
Professional but I've an issue with which files types are
associated with Dreamweaver.
When I first ran DW CS4 the application invited me to select
which type of files to associate with Dreamweaver: .css, .js,
.xslt, php, etc. I deselected a few as I was using another editor
for those at the time. However, I would now like to associate PHP
files with Dreamweaver CS4, so that when I double-click a PHP file
in Windows Explorer it opens in Dreamweaver CS4.
How can I do this?
Is there a way to run the initial dialog box again that
invited me to select which files to associate with Dreamweaver?
Thanks in advance
Gareth

However, I would
> now like to associate PHP files with Dreamweaver CS4, so

Browse to any PHP file with Windows Explorer, right click
then select Open
With..., Choose Program and select DW CS4 (and tick the
"Always..." box to
make this the default file association)

Just installed CS6 but can't associate file type JPG with Photoshop.

I've just now installed Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4. File types PSD and TIFF work fine, but I'm completely unable to associate JPG, JPEG or any other variant with the Photoshop program such that I can double-click on the photo file and open Photoshop and the photo. I can associate JPG with either Bridge or Lightroom, or several other programs, but when I browse to Photoshop and select Photoshop.exe nothing happens, not even an error message. Does anyone have a clue what's going on here?
Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, 32-bit. There is 4GB of memory in the machine, which is a Dell Vostro 1720 laptop.
Thanks,
Bill Sexauer

I know there is a problem with the file associations and that I need to fix them. What I don't know is how to do it. I successfully fixed the associations for file types PSD and TIFF, but I'm completely unable to do the same for type JPG. I did use Open With and that's where it just refused to allow me to change to Photoshop. It would allow me to change from the default Windows Photo Viewer to Bridge or to Lightroom, but not to Photoshop.
The problem was probably caused by my having installed CS6 prior to uninstalling CS4. Should I just reinstall CS6 right over the top of the existing CS6?

Can't open file type

hi there, I have a Nokia lumia 800 and I cannot download apps to it as it always states can't open as Windows doesn't support file type. I am trying to download apps which state they are for my phone. please help.....

Where are you downloading these files from? You can only use Microsoft Store to download apps.

ITunes says nano can't play file type

After updating to 1.1.3 for my nano 8GB, there are 101 songs that iTunes refuses to sync to the nano, saying:
Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "Great Escape", were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod.
When I use the disclosure triangle to see details, all 101 songs give the same info, for example:
"Multiply" was not copied because the file type is not supported by the iPod "My iPod".
But these are all just MP3 files. Some, if not all, of them were purchased in the iTunes store, then burned to a standard CD (aiff?), then later reloaded. They've all been played before on this iPod. I still have the original protected song files filed away, and I could pull them out, but I shouldn't have to do that. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks.

Was there some reason you wanted to change the format of the songs? I've seen this problem before and I can't remember what (if any) solution there was other than to use the original AAC files.
Remember, by burning the original files to a cd then re-importing to an mp3 file, you have compressed an already compressed file even further and so compromised the sound quality.
I know you should be able to use mp3 files but is there some reason you don't want to use the original AAC file?

Windows BUG: Can't change file types through control panel Quicktime settings

I am running the latest version of Quicktime on Viista Home Premium 64-bit.
When I into Control Panel -> View 32-bit Control Panel Items -> Quicktime -> Browser, and I click on "File Types" or "MIME Settings", I get a blank page that looks like this: http://oi40.tinypic.com/hvbbia.jpg, and Quicktime momentarily freezes.
I have no issue adjusting file type settings when bringing up Quicktime outside of control panel, or when using "Default Programs" within control panel, it's only when I do it within "View 32-bit Control Panel Items" that it does this.
This is a minor bug but still weird. Can anyone else verify the issue? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't help.

This could be caused by damaged QuickTime preference files (or possibly a permissions problem on the preferences files).
We can try rebuilding one set of your preference files to see if that helps with the greyed-out stuff.
First, quit QuickTime if you have it open.
Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Next, you'll remove the QuickTime preference folder (and contained file).
6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
7. Open the Users folder.
8. Open the folder with the name of the Windows 7 user account in which the QuickTime file types are "greyed out".
9. Open the AppData folder.
10. Open the Local folder.
11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
12. Drag the QuickTime folder out onto the Desktop.
Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
13. Launch QuickTime. Check your file types again.
Are they still greyed out, or can you change them now?

Can't synch - file type not supported

When synching music from ITunes 9 to my IPod Mini (3.77 GB capacity) I can load some songs but for many songs I get the message that they cannot be synched because the file type is not supported. All my files are the same types - there is a combination of .wma and MPEG-4 files for each song in my ITunes Library directory. I don't know which files are used/supported and I don't know what to do....
Thanks,
David

If the WMA files are "unprotected", iTunes for Windows can convert them when you add them to your library. It should do this automatically.
See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
Importing WMA files into iTunes for Windows.
If not, see: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.

Lion Server Can it manage file vaule

Just wondering, can Lion Server manage client mac's file vault, so that as a corporate admin, could I centrally manage file vault for mac's in my environment?

The question really hinges on the specific revision of XServe you have.
You don't state how many 'several years' is, and the rules vary a lot based on the age/revision of your server.
If your server is an older PowerPC-based server then 10.5.8 is the latest you can run.
Any of the Intel-based XServes can run at least Lion (10.7.x).
Some of the Intel-based XServes can run Mountain Lion (10.8). This depends on the boot EFI firmware on the machine - the earliest machines only had a 32-bit boot loader, newer versions have the required 64-bit EFI.
So you need to look more closely at your machine in order to determine how far you can upgrade it. System Profiler should give you this data, or you can lookup your server on EveryMac

Can I exclude files types (extensions) or Import only specific Types?

Hello,
I am trying to import thousands of pictures into Lightroom as I have a mess of pictures do to a long story...But basically I have probably 30,000 pictures in a bunch of folders that I want to import.
One issue I have found is that I don't want to import TIFF, BMP, GIF, or things like PNG. I really only want jpg files or jpeg files unless I stumble across others in another format I haven't found yet.
Can I set something during the import? I have searched the forums and internet, but haven't found anything that mentions this.
Can someone please help? Also does anyone have a good suggestion on how to clean up a mess like this where I have 30,000 pictures but probably only need 10,000 as there are duplicates upon duplicates due to having to move the pictures around in a hurry as I had a mess in my basement during a storm a couple years ago.
Thanks,
Evee

You can't do it at import, although LR will skip any unsupported file types (BMP, GIF, PNG). Once you've imported though, you can easily filter for the TIFFs and remove those from the catalog without deleting from the hard drive.
Are you wanting to move the LR photos into their own folder structure at the same time, or leave them where they are?

SMB-problem: can see/manage files, but cannot open from Windows 8.1

I have some files shares on a Mavericks server (clean install, including OSX Server). I can connect and see the shared files from my Windows clients (both 7 and 8.1). I can even create files, rename them, etc. From Windows 7 i can also open and edit them. So far, so good!
From Windows 8.1 however, opening does not work: simple text-files and pdf's don't open at all (server cannot execute instruction/file already open), office documents can only be opened in read-only mode.
In the System log (on OSX Server) are a lot of lines like: smbd[714]: File system does not support 0x0 time attributes (or does not support 0x400000, file attrs).
Using Windows Power Shell, I figured out that there is a SMB2.1 connection between Windows and OS X, which seems
to be correct. It appears that OS X judges that Windows is using one or more wrong parameters in an SMB-system call.
I had lots of SMB-problems using Mountain Lion (Snow Leopard server was fine). I don't want to force my Windows machine to use SMB1 (for all shares) using the commands found in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547 (I didn't try yet).
Any help would be appreciated.

So I have the exact same issues. I actually called Microsoft Support and they tried a bunch of different things. They even tried disabling SMB 2 and 3 on my Windows 8.1, but then I was unable to connect to my OS X 10.9.1 Server share point at all anymore!
Here is what I found out. When I start up from my 10.6.8 Server backup on my Macmini Server, and then mapped the network drive on letter G on Windows 8.1 Pro client machine to that very same share point - worked like a charm. I can read , write and such all fines on that share. All is well. Leaving the Windows 8.1 client alone, on the macmini server I selected the upgraded 10.9.1 Server volume and restarted the Macmini Server. After restart, guess what, I was able to perfectly access the files from Windows 8.1 on the OS X share point which of course was still mapped as drive G on 8.1 from earlier.
Now here comes the kicker. I went ahead and restarted Windows 8.1 and then everything went haywire! I opened the Windows 8.1 desktop and brought up My Computer. I saw that the mapped drive G is no longer connected (red X). I went ahead and double clicked it and then Windows Explorer simply hug itself and wouldn't come back. I had to force quit explorer and ended up ultimately restarting Windows. After restart I went ahead and disconnected the mapped network drive (G), and then re-mapped it. I authenticated with the very same username and password as before. This time I am able to see all the files once again, but can't open or work with any of them. It is super jinxed. In my opinion there is a severe bug in Apples SMB 2 or smbx or whatever they call it. Why couldn't thy just leave it alone and pay a licensing fee and use Samba? It's just so stupid!!!!
Apple, you must fix this problem. I will tell the server tech that I have been working with the very same thing. They should have never release 10.9. It was premature and not ready for prime time. It's good to know that there is a work around however. It is super teadious, and spastic, but hey, at least I get it to work. Either it has something to do with authentication, or the way OS X 10.9 responds when mapping a network drive on windows 8.1 pro? No clue.
Apple does not pay me to Q&A their software. This stuff should simply work! I am ****** off and have wasted now over 3 weeks of my precious time banging my head against the wall with Apple stuff.
Come one guys, get your stuff straightened out. thanks.
