Change in AAC file format?

I have a 3rd party music player (the Archos 604 WiFi) with the podcast plug-in (which includes support for non-protected AAC files). I can play AAC files created (i.e., ripped) with iTunes 7 just fine, but it has trouble with AAC files created with older versions of iTunes. Has the AAC file format changed? Is there a way to convert older AAC files to what seems to be a newer AAC format? I don't want to have to re-rip my entire library (26 GB) again when I am not even changing the format.

It doesn't matter which adapter you are using that approach will work. Any custom modification of the output column order which overrides the calc sequence can be done in the Export Action script. Be aware though that any changes to Action script will affect your support agreement with Oracle if you have one. Therfore it may be best to put any custom output in the AftExport event script.

I ended up reformating the drive as FAT32 because I still need to use it on my Windows 98SE system also. I did have a problem with the allocation size. I wanted to use 512 bytes but it kept failing so I used the default size(8192 bytes) and then it worked fine. I didn't think there would be a problem formatting as NTFS but since you are having problems I just tried it. It failed at 512 bytes allocation size so I tried again using 4096 bytes, the default, as the allocation size and it failed again. It looks like these drives will not format as NTFS.
Also, I think I figured out what's going on with the ReadyBoost problem. As I said initially it wouldn't work with ReadyBoost then after I had 12GB of data on the drive the ReadyBoost feature started working. After I deleted all the files it quit working again. After doing some reading on the net about Flash drives and ReadyBoost problems it appears that the memory chips on my Lenovo Flash drive are mixed with both fast memory chips that work fine with ReadyBoost and slower memory chips that are too slow for ReadyBoost. Apparently, after I fill up the portion of memory with data that uses the slow chip(s) then ReadyBoost works fine with the fast chip(s). I also verified the Flash drives read and write memory speeds using Vista's Event Viewer. To work with ReadyBoost the Flash drive has to read at a minimum of 2.5MB/s (for 4KB random reads) and write at a minimum of 1.75MB/s (for 512KB random writes).
Let me know what you find out.

Can we change the default file format 'BIN' of system to 'ASC' using table

can we change the default file format u2018BINu2019 of system to u2018ASCu2019 using table TSOPE
if possible:will it affect any system performance

Hello Vincent,
BIN(Binary) is default selection.and so we have to select ascii.to make myself more clear my queries is like:
first for setting ascii what we need to enter in text box that is against ASCII.and
secondly if we select ASCII will it affect system performance in anyways.

2630 AAC File Format Not Supported!

Hi folks, after much hair pulling, experimenting and googling...
My new 2630 will not play AAC or M4A files. I'm using Nokia Music Manager and have had no problem transfering and playing mp3's (apparently the opposite problem to what most people have!) However, it gives me the option of 'convert to mobile optimised format?'. When I click 'yes', it changes the format to AAC, the file ends with .aac instea of .mp3, I can find the file in my phone, and yet if I try to play it is displays 'File Format Not Supported'. If I then go into details under format it says 'not available' and doesn't list length or copyright the way the mp3 files do.
Seeing as aac files take up half the space I'm really hoping someone can help me out!
Thanks,
Annelise
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately the 2630 is a bit too basic to accept formats like AAC.
It's not designed to be used as a music player so it only has a basic feature set and no option to add a memory card.
If you are using mp3's as ringtones you could try reducing the bit rate and setting the file to mono by using another conversion program. Setting it to mono will reduce the file size by nearly 50%.

AAC File Format

I am in the process of deciding whether or not to buy an 4GB Mini Ipod. Could someone please tell me the sort of file sizes the AAC format takes up at different bit rates.
I currently have a Sony ATRAC CD player. I have the music on it in sonys own format ATRAC at 64Kbs and I think the quality of it is okay and I can get around 300 tracks on one CD.
What quality would you recomend I encoded tracks at for an Ipod and realistically how many tracks could I hope to get on an 4GB Ipod Mini.

This was originally posted by the incredible Sparky the wUnderdog with help from MacMuse:
As a general principle, you can fit more CD's on your iPod if you encode at lower bitrates (making smaller files), but at the cost of audio quality. Apple Lossless promises to capture all the data on the original CD (thus preserving quality) but coded so the file takes half the space. MP3 and AAC (an implementation of variable bit rate MP4) both eliminate some of the information on the CD in order to compress the digital recording into ever smaller files--the lower the bitrate, the smaller the file, but smaller files mean more information lost and consequent poorer sound quality.
AAC files ripped in iTunes certainly sound better than its MP3's, with audio quality close to the best LAME MP3's at higher bitrates. With the type of music I listen to most often, sound quality declines substantially as bitrates fall below 256kbps, but LAME or AAC @ 256kbps sounds pretty darned good, and at 320kbps LAME alt-preset-insane is amazingly faithful to the original. However, many users claim that with the music they listen to they can't hear the difference between 192 or even 128 kbps files and the original CD source, so they naturally choose lower bitrates to fit more "songs" on their iPods.
CDs take approximately 10MB per minute of music; Apple Lossless takes 5MB/minute; LAME insane takes 2.5MB/min; AAC or MP3 at 256kbps take 2MB/min; and iTunes Store files (AAC@128kbps) take 1MB/min. At these rates, a 20GB iPod (really 18.6GB) can hold anywhere from 30 hours to over 300 hours of music. (iPod marketers express this potential playback capacity as "songs," figuring 4 minutes per song--thus 300 hours at 128kbps = 4500 "songs.") You will need to listen to samples ripped with different bitrates and codecs to determine the optimum tradeoff point for you between quality and quantity. It's worth taking some time to do this at the start as it sure beats reripping everything in your collection 2 or 3 times to get it right later.
So far as convenience goes, nothing beats iTunes's one-step process. To change bitrate as you import from CD, go to the iTunes menu>Preferences, select the Importing tab, choose AAC or MP3 encoder in the "import using" selection box, then choose "Custom" in the "setting" box, and the window permitting bitrate selection will pop up. If you choose iTunes MP3 encoder, at least use VBR (variable bit rate) to maximize the sound quality. (VBR increases sample size as data complexity increases.)
If you would prefer LAME MP3's, fear not, for the easy-to-use CDex ripping software is a free download and requires only one simple extra step to get the files into iTunes for transfer to your iPod. Now if AAC sound quality is comparable to LAME MP3, you might wonder why you should even consider LAME: Because of portability to other devices. At present, hardly anything but iPods can read AAC's or Apple Lossless, but almost everything reads MP3's. So if you plan to burn CD's of your compressed files for playback on your home or car CD player (for instance), it would be wise to choose MP3.
One other consideration specific to the iPod- It has a 32MB cache (If you don't know what a cache is, read the last paragraph of this page: iPod + iPod Mini- Batteries). Keep individual file sizes below 25 MB as the rest of the 32 MB memory holds the iPod's Opperating System. If you choose a compression rate that results in large files (i.e. Lossless), then the cache won't hold very much 'music' and the hard drive will have to spin up frequently to fill it, and that will shorten your battery life somewha

How can I change the default file format in PSE 10?

I just upgraded from PSE 6 to PSE 10. In the former, the default file format when saving an edited image in the editor was psd. In 10, it is jpg. I prefer to save in psd, which means I have to select psd from the format drop-down menu for each save. I've looked for a way to change the default but can't find one. Is there a way?

Ah, I see that you're right -- editing that doesn't require adding a layer defaults to saving as the original image's file type. Adding a layer causes the default "Save As" file type to switch to PSD.
I don't know of any way to change that.

Changing smart object file format

I've got a great problem with the smart objects in my project:
I imported some Images (no background) which had the file format 'png'. I just dragged and dropped the files into my current photoshop window. They got imported and then automtically converted into smart objects.
After that I created a lot of copies of these smart object and transformed them.
Now I wanted to change one of the smart objects and double clicked on it. But unfortunately the opened file is a png. So it's not possible to save layers in this smart obejct
Is there any way to change the file format of a smart obejct (like psb/psd)?

Yes. Open an SO into a doc window/tab, edit it or whatever, do a Save As to PSD (or any other format). It'll be saved into a temporary folder. Close the SO doc window/tab. In the main doc window/tab, right-click the SO's name in Layers panel, pick Replace Contents and select the file you saved in the temporay folder. All instances of the SO will be auto-updated.

Change "save as" file format list

How do I change the file format order that is listed in the "save as" file format window? Instead of having "Photoshop" listed as the default file, I'd like to have JPEG at the top, then TIFF, PSD, etc. I have to constantly scroll down the list to find JPEG.

c.pfaffenbichler wrote:
I know of no way to change that order.
Edit: Actually one could probably Script a dialog with a file-format-dropdown-list of one’s own devising, but that hardly seems worth the trouble.
But with Configurator and some Scripting you can make a save-as-jpg (and save-as-psd and whatever) into a one-click operation.
See that is exactly what I think is wrong with Configurator it allows you to some cosmetics but no real customizations there are lots of formats I do not need ever. There are things I would rather have a menu item than as a panel selection and there things I would rather have that only do a coupe of options by default but you never get the opportunity of doing these things with this program.

Lightroom 5.3 - Export not applying changes to all file formats

Using Lightroom 5.3 with Camera Raw 8.3 on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.2
Camera is a Canon EOS 70D, working with Raw files.
Just noticed that when applying a range of changes to an image - Tone / Presence / Noise / Crop / Sharpening (and others)
When exporting the image
- export to JPG, TIFF and PSD works ok, all changes applied correctly
- export to Raw and DNG do not include changes applied to image - original image is exported
Not a show stopper as I have usable formats, but would like all file formats available for flexibility.
Anyone else noticed this ?
Chris.

A RAW file is a RAW file.
DNG is also a RAW format
Lightroom will not alter RAW fomat files on export, as in develop edits.
(it will record those edits in metadata if asked so another application capable of interpreting Lightroom edits can read and apply those edits - like ACR.)
DNG exports can be altered to various flavours of DNG but that does not include develop edits.
A colourspace can also be added as appropriate.
The other formats are derivative files and develop edits are baked in on export.

How do I change the default file format for saving files in Preview

I often take screen clips and save them as files to my desktop, then upload them to my website or include them in emails. The default file format for Preview seems to be TIFF, but I'd prefer jpg. How do I convince Preview to use jpg as the default file format?
TIA,
Thad

I should have been a little clearer...
If I'm emailing a screen-clip, I can just paste it right into the email, but I post on a lot of discussion boards and it's often nice to be able to include a screen shot in those. My preferred way to do that is to post the clip at my personal website and then put a link in the post. It gives me the ability to delete the image whenever I want (a plus for any security freak) and it works on every discussion board I know. Some boards allow attachments, some don't. Plus I don't want to have to remember different d/b file attachment procedures. Anyway, when I make a screen-clip, I need to temporarily save it (usually to my desktop), then ftp it to my website. I use Preview to do that. It's simple. But I'd like it to default to .jpg instead of .png or .tiff. (FWIW, I just tried it and the default was .png, but I swear I did something similar earlier that defaulted to .tiff when I first tried to save the newly-created file).

Change the export file format

Hello,
I got a request that i need do the following changes for the existing FDM location.
1. Change the export file column order. e.g
Before: a,b,c,d
After: b,d,a,c
2. Remove the header of the export file. e.g
Before: Entity Product Account
"NA" "NewProduct1" "100"
After: "NA" "NewProduct1" "100"
I can not change the calc order in the adapter since many FDM locations are using the same adapter. And many FDM locations are using the same export action script.
Do you have any idea how can i do this ?
Thanks,

It doesn't matter which adapter you are using that approach will work. Any custom modification of the output column order which overrides the calc sequence can be done in the Export Action script. Be aware though that any changes to Action script will affect your support agreement with Oracle if you have one. Therfore it may be best to put any custom output in the AftExport event script.

How do i change the webpage file format when saving a webpage?

whenever i try to save a webpage it automatically does so using a chrome html format. windows does not recognize this format. how do i change it? thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by a "chrome html format."
I save pages all the time with Firefox 3.6.16 (and now 3.6.17) and have no problems.
When you select Save Page As, it opens a dialog window so that you can indicate where the page is to be saved.
In the Save as Type dropdown list are format options - "Web page, Complete", "Web Page, HTML only", and "text files"
If you select Web Page, Complete, Firefox saves the HTML file and creates a folder where it stores all the other files associated with the page. If you then open the HTML file, it should display properly in Firefox (or any other browser).,
If you select Web Page, HTML only, Firefox saves only the HTML file, no other files are saved.
If you select text files, Firefox saves only the text, it does not save any of the HTML. Basically, you get what you can see on the page without any of the formatting.
I've never seen an option, in Firefox 3, to save a file as a "chrome html format."
I've only see what I described above.
One other thing, I suggest you upgrade to Firefox 3.6.17. At 3.6.10 you are quite a way back and have missed some security updates.
I don't think you can use the update link under the Help menu, you may have to go to the Firefox site and download it manually. It would not hurt to look for some instructions as to how to go from 3.6.10 to 3.6.17.

Mp3 and aac file formats

Well, I made a playlist on my shuffle...Then when I was playing it It seemed it skipped over all the aav files and only played the mp3. So when I hooked up the shuffle to the computer all the mp3 files were at the top and the aav were at the bottom! So, After spending some time rearranging the list they're now in the correct order...Is there a setting I did or didn't use?
Thanks
Never Quit

i found this info at this link
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93341
iPod calibrates its touch-sensitive surfaces when you turn off the Hold switch. Touching the buttons or the touch wheel on a sleeping iPod at the same time that you turn off the Hold switch causes iPod to calibrate to the capacitance of your finger instead of the air. This can cause iPod to turn on but appear unresponsive when waking from sleep.
i'm thinkiing that maybe the click wheel is not calibrated. also, have you restored the ipod.

Changing file format

I am trying to change the import file format to AAC. I followed the directions that the iTunes help has given me. However, when I went to Edit > Preferences, click Advanced, and then click Importing ... there is no tab for Importing.
where would it be located??

On the latest version of iTunes 8.2--the import settings are located on the General Tab--there's a button in the middle of the box "Import Settings".

How to change screenshot file format?

With Grab, the default file format for a screenshot is .tiff and with command-shift-4 the default file format is .png. Is there a way to change these default file formats through systems preferences or otherwise?
I just discovered you can take screen shots with Preview (even if there's no file open in Preview) and "save as" in a number of file formats. Woo-hoo!
I'm still curious about options for Grab and command-shift-4, though. Any thoughts?

If you open the Help info for Grab (and select "Converting Grab screen shots to other formats") you will see it says that Grab only saves files in TIFF format and that if you want to convert the format to something else it recommends using Preview or any other appropriate converter.
FWIW, there's plenty of other screen capture programs to choose from. Just put "screen capture" into a macupdate.com search to see the various "flavors".
