Cannot read TIFF Files on my Mac

I cannot open or read most Tiff Files on my Mac. Only the very simple ones I can open. Only the ones that were created with a very simple setting (black and white document setting) will open. The Tiffs that were created with a setting more elaborate than this (such as greyscale) I cannot access on my Mac at all. I have tried everything. Preview doesn't recognise them. iPhoto does not recognise them. Can anyone tell me how I can open these files on my Mac or what program I can use to open them?

Where are these files coming from?
Regards

Cannot read image file in oracle 10g forms, getting error frm-47100

I'm unable to read the image from the file location. But If I do re-save via MS-Paint the same image then I'm able to load successfully. I want to load image directly instead of re-save. Error getting like "frm-47100 Cannot read image file".
Need your co-operation to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance!
declare
tiff_image_dir varchar2(80):=('D:\IMAGE\');
photo_filename varchar2(80);
begin
photo_filename:=tiff_image_dir||:IMAGE_NO||'.JPG';
if :image_no is null then
:Image_no :=:UID_NO;
end if;
read_image_file(photo_filename,'JPG','image');
WRITE_IMAGE_FILE('output.tif','TIFF','g_image_info.image',maximize_compression,original_depth)
end;

Hi Sindhu,
By default any operating system file extension starts after the dot. So in this case when it says 2 dots it will think there is something wrong.

HT3775 I have a video file that is under quick play .mov and my macbook is telling me that it cannot read the file?

I am trying to record something on my desktop and I recorded it with an application called iscreen recorder lite. I downloaded it off of the application store thinking it would save under a file my computer would recognize. When I tried to play the recording back again, my computer tells me it cannot read the file and I should see if the formatting is right. I checked and the file is under .mov which should be supported by mac. Please help!

I have this exact same problem, only on Snow Leopard. What's the right answer?
Thanks, Mark

Just bought Canon 40d - Use CS2 - Cannot read Raw files in Bridge

Heading says it all really. Just purchased new Canon 40D Body and have been using CS2 on Mac OS 10.4 for over two years. Cannot read RAW files in Photoshop Bridge which is what I have used consistently with 20D files up to now. Quick search on Google brought up fact that Adobe had not up upgraded Bridge to read new 40D files but that was 2 years ago. Am now looking for plug-in! Can anyone help or am I now forced to upgrade my CS2 or move away to Aperture or Lightroom? Any help gratefully received. Rob

The 40d is not supported by any version of Camera Raw that can run in CS2. You need at least CS3 and ACR 4.2 or greater.
Dowload the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 and convert the raw files from your 40d to raw DNGs first, then you can open the DNG files in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.

My Windows7 PC just crashed. I have the files backed up online with Carbonite. I want to buy a Mac I book. Carbonite says it cannot download pc files to a Mac. Is there a solution?

My Windows7 PC crashed and I have the files backed up online with Carbonite. I want to buy a Mac I book. Carbonite says it cannot download pc files to a Mac. Is there a solution?

Brilliant, that clears things up - there is a single
audio in that is next to the PC in so I guess I need
one of the single cables you have mentioned,
hopefully the Apple Store can point me in the right
direction when I go in to buy my Mini.
If the TV has a single minijack-type audio input, then the cable you need is a very standard one that can be found almost anywhere that cables for audio/home theatre systems are sold. In the old days it would be easy to point you towards the nearest Tandy, but as I understand it they're now gone. However, even supermarkets such as Tesco are likely to have something this basic!
No doubt Apple will release an Intel Core 2 Duo
version the day after I pick it up.
There's no doubt that at some point Apple will revise the range and make new mini's faster or more powerful - and it may be that it happens next week at the Macworld Expo. I'd bet there are a few people holding on for a few days to see if new minis are announced there, and you might want to do the same if it's of concern, but the existing models are plenty powerful, and more than enough for most user's needs.
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.
You are most welcome - and please come back and post again if you have any further questions or any problems once you've got your system!

Cannot import Tiff files

a few days after importing my folders the import dialogue window has changed and I cannot import TIFF files anymore, only jpg and raw!! what can I do???
Thanks Axel

I am guessing then, done as an Export to TIFF with the Export Dialogue, not Export to PSCS, then. Are they named the same as the Raw file except fot the Extension? If so, change the name by adding something like -edit.TIF and they will be imported. LR maybe seeing them as sidecars to the RAW and like JPEGs generated as a pair with a RAW by a camera, LR ignores it.
There are a number of very long threads on this issue. Most are titled impart 'RAW - JPEG'.

When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?!

Why is upgrading software iPhoto such a pain. I've gotta get a presentation done and all I get for my money is roadblock!!!

hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Install Adobe Reader but cannot read PDF file

Hi all,
I am new and not familiar yet with forum so excuse me for a duplicate posting at
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b65e89/6
which is a thread "cannot install Adobe Reader". Since mine is a different problem, am transferring what I posted there into a new thread, which is as follows:
===============================
I cannot read PDF files with web browser so uninstalled and reinstalled with Adobe Reader 9
I still cannot read PDF file with web browser. After clicking on a link that is a link to a PDF file, I just get a blank page
Why and what can I do?

AOL used to have a lot of problems with PDFs, hope that has not returned. Anyway, the PDF was probably sent as a text file rather than encoded as a binary file. That would make it corrupt and is a problem on the senders end. Older versions of Outlook also had problems with PDFs that would cause a problem on your end.

While signing a .XML file a message "cannot read the file for signing" is displayed. What is the solution.

An official site incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in requires .XML files to be uploaded. When .XML files are uploaded without digital signatures there is no problem. When digital signatures are required for signing the same a message 'CANNOT READ THE FILE FOR SIGNING" is displaced. It happens with CHROME and IE also. The solution which I have devised is that I copy the .XML files in a folder called FAKEPATH in C: drive and pick the file for signing from this folder. The browser allows the file to sign with digital signatures. What is the solution.

Pain't cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file or it's format is not currently suppo

Have some photos of a warehouse fire in Plymouth Indiana. Files were saved as .jpg Can't get them to open.
One message is "
Pain't cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file or it's format is not currently supported."
Couldn’t display DSC-0023.jpg because a suitable graphics importer could not be found.

Help Please

As has been suggested above, I would explore Opening the files in another program first, and if successful, just doing a Save_As from that program.
I do not know how sensitive Paint might be, but Ps really wants the JPEG header info to be well-formed. I often encounter JPEG errors in Ps, and my first stop is to IrfanView (free), or ThumbsPlus (commercial), as both seem much more lenient with JPEG's. I have only had a few files, that nothing on my computer would open. I assume that they were just too corrupt.
With either my IrfanView, or ThumbsPlus, when Opened, I do a Save_As, and choose a low compression/high-quality JPEG. If you other program supports Save_As PSD, that would be my # 1 choice, and keep JPEG out of the mix from that point on.
Good luck,
Hunt

Routine FDPREP cannot read the file APXAECTR.rep

When i tried to generate report from AP, i found this error
Routine FDPREP cannot read the file /d01/oracle/SVIPROD/apps/apps_st/appl/ap/12.0.0/reports/US/APXAECTR.rep.
as i checked the specified directory, the file was not there.
Where to get the file?
Please advise
Thanks

Hi,
Hi there is no APXAECTR.rdf in the directory, how can i download or install this in my server?I believe I have explained this in my previous reply.
If you have a backup or any other identical instance, just restore/copy the file.
If this is the only instance you have, run adadmin and generate the report (select "Generate reports files" option from adadmin).
For details about adadmin, please refer to:

Cannot read pdf files

My operating system is Windows Vista and the version of Adobe Reader I have is 5.1, but they are incompatable; therefore, I cannot read pdf files. Is there a fix?

That is definitely a very old Reader version! Uninstall it, then install the latest Reader for Vista, which is 10.1.9

Cannot open on Nook, "This Nook cannot read this file. It may be an unsupported format" what can I do?

I used ADE 4.0 and ebook transferred to computer and Nook - it opens on my computer but will not open in Nook. Error message says "This Nook cannot read this file. It may be an unsupported format." What can I do to open it on my Nook?

First, I would recommend repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
If that doesn't fix the problem, there's a very dangerous command you can execute in the Terminal. This is very hazardous, because a simple typo can result in very drastic consequences. I have seen people erase their entire hard drive by putting a space in the wrong place! So, please follow the directions I'm going to give you very carefully!
Open the Terminal, which is found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. In the Terminal, enter the following:
sudo rm -f
Make sure to put a space after the "-f"! Then, drag the troublesome file from the Finder and drop it on the Terminal window. That should insert the path to the file in the command. Then go back to the Terminal and press return. You will be asked for your password, and when you type it, nothing will be shown as a security measure. Press return again after entering your password. The file should be deleted.
