Changing a file type that will not open

sorry if this is  a super simple question but I poked around and can't figure it out. Some time back I rented a Nikon scanner and scanned and saved a bunch of my images to my hardrive. I can see the thumbnails of said photos plain as day. When I try and open said photos in Bridge of PS5.1 it wants to open the file in conjunction with the scanner for some reason. When I click to open an image the icon box from the scanner software pops up as if it is loading then the error message box comes up to say : 'The application Nikon Scan 4 quit' unexpectedly giving the option to Ignore/Report/Relaunch -  In any case - it wants to open the Tiff files I have saved through the Nikon Scan 4. I don't get it as to why that is but in any case I would imagine I just have to save as another file type? When I look to see the type of file it is : 'nikon scan Tiff file'
Because I CAN see the thumbnails in Bridge all I need to do is change the type of file but I see no way to do it as it is not currently saved as any file name suffix - the name of the file is not .jpeg or .tiff - it simply does not have any file type currently associated with them

'The application Nikon Scan 4 quit' unexpectedly giving the option to Ignore/Report/Relaunch -  In any case - it wants to open the Tiff files I have saved through the Nikon Scan 4.
You should also check Bridge Preferences File type association. See what the default application to open in is for the tif files. If this is Nikon change it to PS and it should work.
It might be that when having used the Nikon software there was an option to hide the extension selected.
Any way, first duplicate one file and try to add tif as Tai Lao stated in his post and try if that is working.

  • How can I save a page offline? the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open.

    the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open anything - can't I save the page as a single offline file?

    This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
    I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
    Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
    There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
    You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
    As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
    Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • How to fix a Domain file that will not open

    We have a Domain file on our Mac Mini that will not open - iWeb keeps saying that it cannot be found, even though it is in the Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. I transferred the Domain file to my GS, and I get the same response - if I switch back to the original Domain file (on the G5), all is well. Obviously, the Domain file from the Mac Mini has gotten corrupted, but cannot determine the exact problem (though I think it may be the index.xml.gz file). I've reinstalled iWeb, checked permissions, deleted (and re-created) the associated plist files - nothing. Unfortunately, our company's web pages are in that Domain file, and cannot perform some much-needed updates. Any help that can be offered would be most appreciated!!

    Have you tried double-clicking on the Domain file?

    I have a 5 min. video that will not open the cause of which appears to be due to an osstatus-54 error. can this be resolved & if so, how?

    It means that the orignal video file is missing which is not good news. How was the file placed on the backup hard drive?  Can you select the file on the EHD and play it with Quicktime Player?  That will tell you if the backup is a good backup.

  • I have a mac Book that will not open DVD's of Business Presentations.  I had my hard drive taken in to the Mac Store and had a new hard drive installed.  Since then I cannot open DVD's.  What is the application that I need, and the process. Tks

    I have a mac book that will not open up DVD's recorded with a presentation.  I install the disc in a HP / windows 7 and it works fine.  I had my hard drive replaced and since then I cannot open up DVD's.  Was there a application that did not get installed?  And if so what is the process.

    You need DVD Player. It should be in your Applications folder. If it is in there go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs and for "When you insert a video DVD" make sure DVD Player is selected.

    Maybe you could supply us with more details about what exactly you are doing, how you are doing and what you are using to do it.
    The reason I say this is because you are in the forum for Adobe Reader which is a FREE application and not a service.
