Can't download an xml file to desktop - Need help

Hello, I need to save an xml file to my desktop. Each time I try, the xml file saves as a Final Cut Pro icon. When I try to open or upload the xml file - Final Cut automatically opens (which I don't want) and it is unable to show/translate the xml. How can I get my imac to download and upload xml properly?
I need to do this so that I can use the bulk mail "Dazzle" function on Endicia for online postage. Help please and thanks so much.

Okay, for Endicia to open the xml file it has to be in a format such as my_file.xml but when I try to put it onto my desktop, the .xml file defaults to a Text Edit file for example my_file.xml.txt
Just highlight the file, hit the "return" key, and you can edit the file's name. Just highlight ".txt" and delete it. You'll should get a prompt asking you if you really want to change the extension to "xml" from "txt". Just click on the "Use xml" button. That should change the extension.
You can also edit the extension in the "Get Info" inspector in the Finder. Just highlight your file and use the "command"-"i" key combo or choose "Get Info" from the Finder's File menu.
You shouldn't need Office to work with XML files. They're just text files. In fact, a great app for working with XML files is free: TextWrangler is really good for editing XML files...

  • Can't locate to delete file...Need help...

    So my kid got a fisher price iXl toy which required that I download the drivers for the mac as it didn't come with a disc for the mac. I downloaded the file fine and launched it however the software wasn't able to connect to the fisher price server, don't know why.
    I then decided to use our netbook which worked just fine.
    Today, I had several freezing of Safari and Firefox and wasn't sure why until I launched Console to see that there is a file that is trying to make a contact every 10 seconds; I'm not exactly sure if that's what its doing but it seems like it.
    I can see the location of file on console but when I follow it, I can't locate it. Here's what it looks like:
    12/28/10 10:17:41 AM com.apple.launchd[106] (com.fisherprice.iXLagent[252]) posix_spawn("/Applications/iXL.app/Contents/Resources/iXLAgent.app/Contents/Mac OS/iXLAgent", ...): No such file or directory
    Can someone help me to remove this process?

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Can't create a PDF file from "printing" need help

    hey I have Acrobat 8 professional and I used to be able to create PDF files by clicking print, selecting the Adobe PDF printer and so on.  Recently it stopped letting me do this by stating that Windows can not print due to current printer setup.  I was able to get around it for a while by clicking on save as, create PDF, and chooseing the quick and easy option...very frustrated, I don't know if I need to download a newer version or if it doesn't like my new HP officejet printer (which I removed from my default to try and see if that worked)  done with my area of knowledge and need advise
    Thanks

    Hi Mate.
    Have you checked to see if the print spooler service is running?
    Go to desktop, right click "My Computer" and click "manage",
    Open Services and Applications
    Click Services
    Scroll down to "print spooler" and right click it - does it say "start" or "stop" ?
    if it allows you to "start" the printing service, it may be being disabled by something which could be endemic of another problem.  HP printer install software is full of mad features these days.  Print spooler should start itself automatically on bootup, if it doesn't, that might affect PDF printing.

  • Downloading an XML file from Website through FUSION middleware

    Hi,
    I want to download an xml file from one website through BPEL. I am using jdeveloper 10.1.3.3 to create a BPEL process and Adapters.
    How can i download the xml file from the site through FUSION middleware?

    Another option would be to write a smal Java class the uses URLConnect to connect to the URL in question and use WSIF to bind it to the BPEL process.
    Just google for sample code.

  • To download SOAP/XML file at runtime....

    Hi,
      My porgram is consuming a web service, provided by an external party, by calling the method of the corresponding proxy class. The problem is I want to capture the SOAP/XML file that is generated at runtime when the proxy method is called.
    Could you please suggest me a way by which I can download the XML file. Is it possible?
    Regards,
    Vara

    Hi Vara,
    One solution is to activate logging and tracing and to see the payload in the log viewer. Consider that this could lower the performance of the system.
    Another solution could be to use some kind of [packet analyzer|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_sniff] ...
    Hope this helps,

  • Help........ How to download an XML file (URL) over HTTP within ESB?

    Hi,
    There is a requirement to download an XML file from the Web using Fusion middleware. The XML file is available as a URL, and is updated daily.
    http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml
    We need to check if this is download is possible from within ESB.
    One Oracle consultant reported this to be slightly tricky, but possible through HTTP Binding. We never could get in touch with him again.
    So open to the forum.
    So please suggest your opinions, and icing on the cake if you can also point to some tutorial or sample code.
    Thanks,
    Amit

    just run a wget on the file and then you can pick it up with a file adapter, I note there is no XSD association with it.

  • Can I Use a XML file as Managed Resource?

    Hi,
    I have a XML file which has all employee details.
    Can I use that XML file as a Resource in IDM?
    If so please let me know the steps to do.
    Please help me in this regard.
    Thanks
    RMS

    No.
    Since the XML file you have has custom tags, there is not a way for IDM to understand it's contents.
    IDM does offer a "Simulated" resource, which is an XML based resource, but it has a defined structure. You might be able to alter your XML to match what the Simulated Resource expects, or better yet, get it into a database and use the database table adapter.

  • Downloading an XML file from Website through BPEL/ADAPTER

    Hi,
    I want to download an xml file from one webpage through BPEL. I am using jdeveloper 10.1.3.3 to create a BPEL process and Adapters.
    Is there anyway to download the xml file from the site through FUSION middleware.

    what do you mean download, is it a site where you click a hyperlink then down load the file.
    This is not possible as this is invoked by human intervention. SOA suite is invoked by events. If you want to perform this kind of function you would need to create a jave service to perform this.
    Is there any posibility that there is a FTP link that you could use?
    cheers

  • How can I download Adobe Proto files as a zip?

    Hi.
    I was wondering why I can only download Adobe Proto files as file type "Proto/.pro" I read that it would be possible to download a zip of the original via Creative Cloud giving me the css, jquery etc. of the wireframe.
    It would be great if someone could help me out and let me know how it's done as I have no use for ".pro" files..
    kind regards

  • Can't import an xml file

    Hi,
    I am using Captivate 5.5 on Windows. I have an .swf file which needs to have an xml file with it in order for it to behave the way in which it was intended. The developer has said that the two files need to be included in the same folder.
    I have no problem importing the swf file however I can't import the xml file which is called flashParams.xml. I have been editing the xml file in windows notepad and it is working perfectly outside Captivate. However when i try to import the xml, I get the message 'Cannot import XML'. I have been using File/Import/from xml to get the file loaded but no luck. I have also tried dragging it into the library but no luck here either.
    Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong and how they would approach what surely must be a very simple task.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi Rod,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I think what I could do is to launch the swf by clicking on a link in the Captivate session to an external url (it will be hosted on Moodle). The one problem I have is that when I do this in Captivate, the slide refuses to pause and moves onto the next slide. What I would like is for the user to be able to click on the link for the url and for the slide to pause until the user clicks on a next button to go to the next slide.

  • How can (parse) i use XML file with missing EndTag

    hi,
    i have an application which writes an "XML file".
    another application should read that XML file, build an DOM and
    access the nodes with xpath.
    my problem. if the first application is not finished there are tags
    missing. e.g. </xml>. but the seconds application cannot wait until the first application finishes it task.
    if i now read the XML file the parser cannot load it because the end tags are missing.
    my question:
    how can i deactivate the check or how can i read the XML file and access it via XPath (my application is using at the moment XPath to access the nodes and i dont want to change that)
    as parser i am using XERCES
    alex

    As far as I know, you can't do this - xml must be well formed (this is sort of a bedrock of xml). There may be some work around's, but I'm not aware of any - and they would most likely be hacks.
