Can't view photos in zip file

A friend has sent me some photos that are in a zip file. Can anyone tell me how to open and view them? I have saved the file to the desktop and doubleclicked it. Then I control click and open it with appleworks but I only get the captions that go along with the photos.

If the files have a name ending in .zip, they are compressed. Zip files need to be expanded using Stuffit Expander. After using Stuffit, the file names should end with a graphic identifier, like .jpg. Then open Preview & select the file.
 Cheers, Tom

    Hi ryan,
    You can use automator to rename your files, BEFORE you import them into iPhoto. Doing so while they are already imported into iPhoto and iPhoto's database will cause iPhoto to lose the links between the thumbnails and the images.

    To restore your library you need to create a new one and import/add to the library. Instructions are on Page 2. Good luck!

  • How can I view my 6D raw files before I open them in post processing?

    How can I view my 6D raw files after I load them on my computer & before I open them on a post processing Program?
    I have no problem doing that with my 1DX,1DIV or 5Dmk III. This problem exist with any sdhc card I use on the 6D, but not on any other camera with the same cards.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Your computer doesn't have camera RAW support installed for a 6D.  RAW isn't really a standard-format... it's more of a concept.  Every individual camera has it's own unique RAW format (even though they all have the same .CR2 extension).
    Each time a new camera comes out, companies that make RAW processing software will make an update available that adds that camera.  You'll need to get that update and install it.

  • Can I view photos and movies from my external hard drive? I used Time Machine and a WD Passport for backup. Since my drive on my MacBook Pro is filling up I was planning to delete some of the movies and photos.

    Can I view photos and movies from my external hard drive? I used Time Machine and a WD Passport for backup. Since my drive on my MacBook Pro is filling up I was planning to delete some of the movies and photos. I wanted to see if I could view them from the hard drive. Thanks

    Hello, eco1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location.  If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

  • Can't view thumbnails of tif files...

    Bridge CS4 was working fine before I installed a new OCR software program. Now I can't view any thumbnails of files saved with a tif or tiff extensions. I checked the file type and it is associated with Photoshop CS4, not sure what has happened or how to fix it.
    Any help would be appreciated...
    ~Vince

    Not a computer geek, but this shot tells me the file is not a tif but an omniPage file.
    I googled omnipage and came up with this.  Hope it is helpful and you have not already been there, done that.
    Looks like this is for XP, but if you have Vista procedure should be similar.
    Question
    I've just installed Omnipage Pro.  I've discovered that it has altered
    all of the image file associations on my machine. (God, that ****es me
    off when they do that!)
    Answer
    Click the "Restore" button in the File Types dialog, and click OK. Then to
    fix the association settings, try the fix from here:

  • How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

    How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto. Version 8.1.2
    - What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.9.4
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    When I open iPhoto, only the most recent photos are shown (last 12 months)
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages? This has been going on for several weeks now. There are no error messages, but yes, I had an update in the system (QuarkXPress 10.1), and the problem has occurred from that day.
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue. I tried to find out where the problem came from, but found no solution.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto? No
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    Thank you so much for offering help. I am not a proficient user of the system.

  • Can't open dmg or zip files

    I have Yosemite, and recently installed the latest system update for this.
    I've noticed today that I can't open dmg or zip files - attempting to do this via the 'open with' command results in the icon for (eg disk utility) appearing in the dock and hanging.
    I can mount via Disk Utility - though I'm having issues opening the resulting mounted applications as these then also appear in the dock and hang. Haven't found a way to open zip files yet.
    I have tried repairing permissions and disk - with no effect. Restarting the finder also has no effect.
    Anybody have any ideas what could cause this (these seem like basic functions) or any troubleshooting steps?
    Many thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Just imported picture library from Aperture - Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5.7.1

    Just imported a large picture library from Aperture to LR 5.7.1- Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5. The projects and files loaded - but no thumbnail view of the image

    I have a Nikon D50 nef on my desktop. Double-clicking on it opens Photoshop, which launches Adobe Camera Raw. If you get that far and can make adjustments in the ACR panel, you are fine. That's what opens first.
    Then you click "Open" in ACR and your nef opens in Photoshop and the document tab on top gives the .nef extension. You make your edits there, but if you close Photoshop, you won't save it as nef, it won't be in the Save file list. You save it as psd for example and close Photoshop.
    You now have a nef with develop settings on your desktop and the psd you saved out of Photoshop.
    All perfectly normal as J.J. said, Photoshop will edit the nef file, but it will be saved in a format other than nef.

  • Can't view photos and movies emailed to me on new 16GB iPhone

    I'm sure this has been asked here already, but couldn't find it. When someone emails me a photo or a movie I can't view it on the iPhone. All I see is an icon with mime-attachment under it. I'm able to view the photos and videos on my iMac and Powerbook though. The 2 most recent videos were .wmv so I'm guessing I can't view those as it is right now on the iPhone, but I have no idea why I can't view the pictures. Thanks

    whoever is emailing you the photos is sending them as a .zip file not a .jpg most likely because there is more than one photo. unfortunately iPhone does not have a .zip file reader so whoever is emailing the photos has to make sure they are not zip ing them and resend them as .jpg files. (usually gmail tries to convert several images into .zip files)

  • Can't view photos in Adobe Bridge

    Hi Everyone,
    I just upgraded to a desktop, Dell Inspiron 3000 Series with Windows 7.  I uploaded my Photoshop CS6 onto my new computer, but I cant view my photos on Bridge.  No thumbnail previews, just the name of the photo.CR2.  I can however view my Tiff files
    Any idea how I can fix this?  Would greatly appreciate the help, need to be able to see my photos soon!
    Mahalo,
    Maria

    So, you can't see your RAW files.  That probably means you have not applied any updates after installing CS6.
    You have to update BOTH Photoshop and the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in.  That should work through the Help menu in Photoshop:   Help > Updates

  • Can´t view photos in full screen after loading photos to dropbox? what to do?, can´t view photos in full screen after loading photos to dropbox? what to do?

    after loading photos to dropbox i can´t view them in full screen in iphoto ... i can only view them small ... when i click on them this sign "!" appears... do you know how to fix this????

    If you're loading photos to drop box why do you expect to see them in iPhoto?
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.

  • Want to view the created zip file via Bursting in Oracle Apps

    Hello,
    I' ve created a Bursting control file and invoked the concurrent request (XML Publisher Report Bursting Program, XDOBURSTREP) within the after-report trigger in oracle reports.
    My Bursting-Control file as follows:
    <xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi" type="bursting">
    <xapi:request select="/XXMI_OM_QUOTE/LIST_G_ORDERS/G_ORDERS">
    <xapi:delivery>
    <xapi:filesystem id="file1" output="/usr/tmp/DEV1/${QUOTE_NO}"></xapi:filesystem>
    </xapi:delivery>
    <xapi:document output-type="pdf" delivery="123">
    <xapi:template type="xsl-fo" location="xdo://XXMI.XXMI_OM_QUOTE.en.US">
    </xapi:template>
    </xapi:document>
    </xapi:request>
    </xapi:requestset>
    It works fine. e.g. Bursting creates two pdf-files and one zip file in unix, which I can see when pushing the View Output of the request(XML Publisher Report Bursting Program):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <BURS_REPORT>
    <REQUESTID>643527</REQUESTID>
    <PARENT_REQUESTID>643525</PARENT_REQUESTID>
    <REPORT_DESC>XXMI OM Quote</REPORT_DESC>
    <OUTPUT_FILE>/u00/erp/dev1APP/inst/apps/DEV1/logs/appl/conc/out/o643527.zip</OUTPUT_FILE>
    - <DOCUMENT_STATUS>
    <KEY />
    <OUTPUT_TYPE>pdf</OUTPUT_TYPE>
    <DELIVERY>FILESYSTEM</DELIVERY>
    <OUTPUT>/usr/tmp/DEV1/10000012.pdf</OUTPUT>
    <STATUS>success</STATUS>
    <LOG />
    </DOCUMENT_STATUS>
    - <DOCUMENT_STATUS>
    <KEY />
    <OUTPUT_TYPE>pdf</OUTPUT_TYPE>
    <DELIVERY>FILESYSTEM</DELIVERY>
    <OUTPUT>/usr/tmp/DEV1/10000026.pdf</OUTPUT>
    <STATUS>success</STATUS>
    <LOG />
    </DOCUMENT_STATUS>
    </BURS_REPORT>
    But instead of this XML-output I wish a link to the file on unix. How can I link <OUTPUT_FILE>/u00/erp/dev1APP/inst/apps/DEV1/logs/appl/conc/out/o643527.zip</OUTPUT_FILE> within the view Output-Button of this request?
    Thanks in advance for any clues

    That is not how bursting works in EBS.
    The View Output from XDOBURSTREP is the Bursting Status Reprot.
    The bursted results are (potentially) multiple files so cannot be linked to view output.
    Depending upon the delivery channel chosen you have to either read the email, check the fiel system or printer, to see the results.
    The delivery channel bypasses the standard EBS request view.
