Cannot unstuff any files with a .sit extension (stuffit files).

I have had this new Imac with Leopard since the first of December. (love it, by the way)
In the past week I have had people email me .sit files and instead of unstuffing, they opened in Text Edit and are a bunch of code. I just needed to download a "patch" for an Adobe training video so that it could be used with Leopard and it was also a .sit file. When I tried to open it - same problem. The file does not unstuff and instead opens in Text Edit as a text file with code. I tried to go to the finder and use the "open with" function, but there were no other options but Text Edit.
Is anyone having the same problem, or knows of a work around this?
Thank you.

Sadly, you do need Stuffit Expander to open .sit files. Stuffit can also make self-extracting archives, but they have a different icon and appear to be applications.
To avoid their annoying web form, you can download it directly at:

  • Is there any way to open a file with a .msi extension on my new mac?

    I have Camtasia from the pc I was using. It has a .msi file extension for the installation file. Is there any way to open the Camtasia installation file with the .msi extension on my new Mac?
    Thanks,

    That's a Microsoft program which requires Windows. You could run on your Mac if you install Windows on it.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

  • How do I import old FCP projects that have mysteriously changed to Linux Executable files?  Is it as simple as renaming the files with the.fcp extension?

    I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish. I was able to grab everything, media, etc. to my macbook pro but all of the Final Cut Pro actual movies/projects have turned into "linux executable files" that FCP X won't import.
    I tried googling this issue but didn't really see any good answers. Would it be as simple as renaming the files with the .fcp extension?  I can't recall if my old version (really old) of FCP saves projects as .mov or .fcp files, but I'm assuming I'm not the only person this has happened to.
    Thanks for your help!

    I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish.
    What version of FCP was this? The project files can probably no longer be opened in the newer version of the OS. You could try adding the .fcp suffix, but I don't think it will help for this. Projects files are .fcp.
    Regardless of the version, no legacy FCP projects will import into FCPX.
    Media is a different matter. These are probably QuickTime .mov files. If these are appearing as Unix ececutables, they're probably not recoverable either.

  • Read Document in FileUtilities  cannot search a file with french character in the file name

    Hi,
    I am trying to search a file with french character in the file name like 'captures écran.doc' in my unix server directory, and Write the file somewhere, say in a list of documents or, write on file system to another directory.
    I am using to Read Document in FileUtilities of Foundation, but it cannot read the file due to french character in its name. Although it can find any other file name without these french characters.
    Tried renaming but that also cannot find the file with french character name.
    Please provide any idea to solve it using LC operation.
    Regards,
    Rohan Raj.

    Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for the post, but I have already found a solution to it a month ago. Sorry for not posting the solution.
    You just have to set the '-Djava.property.file.encoding=ISO8859-1' into JVM argument of your server startup, and bounce the server back to pick the new JVM arg set. And now the service Read Document in FileUtilities of Foundation will read all french characters.
    ISO8859-1refers to "Latin alphabet no. 1," consisting of 191 characters from the Latin script. This character-encoding scheme is used throughout The Americas,Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa. It is also commonly used in most standard romanizations of East-Asian languages.
    regards,
    Rohan Raj.

  • Trying to get the Filetype of a file with a random extension.  i.e., image.1

    Hello all,
    I am dealing with images with the .1 -.6 standard which is used by companies like Gladson imagery.  I am given these files and I need to find out there FileTypes, which I also have heard can be called "MIME" types?  If that is different I let me know please.
    I tried to use the Files API Files (Java Platform SE 7 )
    Specifically probeContentType, but I get "null" for the .1 images, while the .bmp image does give me "image/bmp" as the result.
    I am thinking of reading the file into the program, then just outputting it into a file with a readable extension.
    Or is there a better way to do this?
    Thanks,
    ~KZ

    .1-.6 means nothing, it's a file extension given by Gladson.  Gladson &gt; Our Services &gt; Product Image Database but you seem to ignore this.
    You say it means 'nothing' but your original question says it is a standard:
    I am dealing with images with the .1 -.6 standard which is used by companies like Gladson imagery
    I've never heard of any such '.1 -.6 standard' and can't find ANY reference on the web to any such standard.
    So it is only appropriate to ask you what you are talking about. You didn't explain WHAT standard you are referring to, provide ANY information about that 'standard' or provide any link to documentation about that 'standard' so we can figure out what you are talking about.
    I don't know why a lot of the people on this forum feel the need to tell people their questions aren't good enough, when the question is pretty simple.
    They do that to let you know that you need to provide MORE information or a better explanation of what you are asking.
    Just because you don't know part of the question, doesn't mean the question is invalid.
    Reread my reply and you will see that it doesn't say the question is 'invalid'. It said
    If you want help it is YOUR responsibility to provide the information anyone would need to help you. No one is going to go searching the web to try to find out what a '.1 -.6 standard' might be, assuming there even is such a thing.
    You began your thread by referring to a 'standard' and I can find NO such standard anywhere. So there is no context for your question since it relates to a standard that doesn't appear to exist.
      Especially when the part of the question, in this case the .1 fileExtention doesn't really have much to do with the question, which is why it was an example.
    You are the one that first mentioned a 'standard'. If it doesn't 'have much to do with the question' then you are just confusing the issue by including it as a key part of your thread. If there IS such a standard then, being a standard, it would be documented and that documentation would likely explain the actual binary format of files that are created using that standard. That binary format would have information that could be used to identify the file type.
    For example a PDF file uses a 'standard' file format. The format is documented by Adobe and if you examine a file you might find the first line looks like this:
    %PDF-1.4
    That 'signature' helps to identify the file as using the PDF file format.
    But now you seem to be asking this totally different question:
    Given graphic files with meaningless names and extensions (and thus of unknown type) how does one determine the actual FileTypes (BMP, GIF, etc), which I also have heard can be called "MIME" types?
    Is that the question you are really asking?
    If it is then there IS NO generic way to identify an arbitrary file format since each 'standard' format is different and will have different possible 'signature' characteristics. You would have to have code to test for EVERY possible 'signature'.
    That is why if the standard you referenced actually existed it would help determine what the list of POSSIBLE file types might be. If you know that each file MUST BE a Gladson file type then the first step is to create a list of ALL possible file types that Gladson uses.
    Then you can locate the documentation for each of those file types (e.g. BMP, GIF, etc) to determine how to create a 'parser' to check for those 'signatures'.

  • I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
    Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
    If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

  • Captivate 8 : the PDF export created a file with a PDF extension.. but it's actually a video. Shouldn't it export the slides as a proper PDF document ?

    In Adobe Captivate, there is a "PDF export" checkbox available when you publish your project.
    It checked the box, and the project pulication created a file with a PDF extension.. but it's actually a video. Shouldn't it export the slides as a proper PDF document ?

    Thanks for the quick answer. I did not know about interactive PDFs..
    I just found how to export as a Word document. I would have expected to find that option in "Publish" or "Export", not "Print".. Anyway, I now have what I needed

    I also don't understand, but if you mean how to display only files with a certain extension in your JFileChooser then you should have a look at the JFileChooser API:

    The introduction shows an example of how to do that.

  • I want Firefox to give me the option to download a file with a .mm extension rather than opening it as if it were an xml file

    I have created a web page that provides links to files with the .mm extension. These files are created by the Freemind application (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page). When I click one of these links, Firefox opens the file as if it were a text (xml) file. I have looked at the Applications page in Preferences, but there is no obvious way to add a new application and then specify that Firefox should "Always ask" what I want to do. Essentailly, how do I do that?

    Hi jhayles,
    Have you looked checked in ''Tools > Options > Applications'' to see if you have told Firefox to always save the file? You should take a look at the [[Options window - Applications panel]] Knowledge Base article for details.
    If you set Firefox to always ask and it doesn't, you may want to check out the [[Preferences are not saved]] article.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Is it possible to add pic/diagram to SP file with link to another SP file?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add a diagram, picture, or table to a SP file with link to another SP file?
    I know this is possible in, say, Word. For example, I can add a diagram and check a box to include a link to the source file - so that when the diagram in the source file updates, the diagram in my document also updates.
    This is also my goal in SP - instead of simply including a link to a document elsewhere in SP (or on the same site in SP), I would ideally like to display a diagram, picture, or table and include (behind the scenes if possible) to the source SP file
    so that, when the diagram/table in the source SP file updates, my SP file also updates accordingly.
    For example:
    Instead of:
           The diagram is located in:
           link
    I would ideally like:
           Diagram, picture, or table (with link associated with it) - users can click on the diagram or picture if they desire.
           The diagram or picture is updated whenever the source SP file containing the diagram or picture is updated (the source SP
           file will only contain a diagram, picture, or table)
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thank you very much.
