Changing DOWNLOAD format?

Recently, iTunes started selling alot of their content free of DRM. These tracks are downloaded in *.m4a format for me. In the advanced menu there's an option to "Convert to MP3". Is there anyway to set iTunes to just DOWNLOAD in mp3 format to begin with? Otherwise I have to convert each newly downloaded track AND delete the old m4a file since it's unneeded? I'm trying to keep using the iTunes store now that I bought a non-Apple mp3 player...but it's becoming truly impossible.
P.S. I'm excessively aware that you can set the format of IMPORTING or RIPPING tracks into iTunes...I don't care about that.

Since you are using a non-Apple mp3 player, the iTunes store will indeed become very inconvenient.
You may wish to try other online stores that sell downloads in mp3 format. Walmart.com has started selling a few tracks in mp3; very limited selection, but only 94 cents each if you find what you want. Audiolunchbox.com has a huge selection of independent label music in mp3 format for 99 cents a track, or less if you subscribe. Needless to say, these mp3s work fine in iTunes as well as your non-Apple player.
Depending what your player is, it might also play WMAs, which are for sale in many online stores.

How can i change the Format of my DATE column?

I need to change the date format for a whole column. At present i can do MM-DD-YYYY. I need to change this this to DD-MMM-YYYY.
I know about the to_date function, i tried to apply it to change the format of my whole column by doing the following.....
CREATE TABLE "IT220_DATEHOLIDAY"
"DEPARTID" VarChar(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
"HOLCODE" VARCHAR2(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
"DEPARDATE" DATE,
to_date('DATE','DD-MMM-YYYY'), <<<change DATE column to DD-MMM-YYYY
CONSTRAINT "DATEHOLIDAY_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("DEPARTID") ENABLE
ORA-00902: invalid datatype <<<<This was the error message i received.
I am aware that the to_date function is supposed to be used to change strings into a certain format. I guess this means you cant do it with columns? Is there anyway i can format the whole column or do i have to do each string of data entered one by one?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Jay,
I'm not sure you hit the right forum, as this doesn't seem to be a problem with APEX.
Anyway:
You can't use that function on a table like that, and as you already suggested, the to_date-function expects a string value.
It seems you also have a misunderstanding of the basic datatypes in the database. DATE is such a datatype and is stored an internal format you don't need to care about. Each time your request the value, the database will give you a string representation according to either your locale or you give a certain formatting mask.
The same applies to insert or update operations: you hand in either a variable of type DATE or use a function like to_date to create an "object" of type date.
You may be interested in reading the documentation of the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/toc.htm]Oracle Database Concepts. The section concerning datatype DATE can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/tablecls.htm#CBBGJHJC
An overview of formatting options can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/sql_elements004.htm#SQLRF00212
So to answer your question: You would format it as part of your insert operation, taking a string and convert it using to_date.

HT4007 I Just updated Apeture to 3.3.2 Now there are some photos that I receive a message..."Unsupported Image Format" Are there lost? can I retrieve them? can I change the format? Help...?!?

I just updates Apeture to version 3.3.2 after installing Mountain Lion. There are some photos in Apeture that now say, "Umsupported Image Format". Are these lost? Can I retrieve them...how? Can I change the format so that I can see them again? Help?!?

Are these images "Raw" images? What is the make of your camera?
Check the version of the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update that is installed. The version of the raw support is shown in the About panel: from the main menu bar:
Aperture > About Aperture
Download the latest Raw Update from here:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.14
If you have the latest raw support installed, but Aperture does not recognize the format, try to register the raw support for your camera with the launch services db, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command
In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.

TS1506 This is not an acceptable solution. Apple please fix this issue. I can't ask my customers to change the format of an email. Seriously?

This is not an acceptable solution. I cannot ask my customers to change the formatting of their email. Please fix this.

Is it coming through as a winmail.dat file ? If it is then you could try one of the winmail.dat apps from the store and see if that works with it.
Or is it coming through as a PDF but isn't downloading, opening or displaying correctly ? If so then is just the one PDF, all PDFs, from one sender ? Have you tried closing the Mail app via the taskbar and seeing if the PDF opens/displays when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

Book module of lightroom changed book format

I am having an issue with the book module of lightroom (using it for blurb)
I made a book chosing the large landscape format.
I completed it all and only when exporting to blurb, surprised by the low price,
I had noticed that it had become a "standard format".
I never had changed the format.
So I made a copy of the book, changed the format.
And in order to do that I confirmed that I would accept changes in layout.
Lightroom did not to a bad job,but
1) some pictures had disappeared
2) some pages templates were not available in large book format (e.g. the 4x3 multiple page)
I started correcting the book again and half way I noticed that lightroom HAD CHANGED AGAIN THE FORMAT
and brought it back to standard format, WITHOUT ASKING FOR CONFIRMATION.
I am now starting again.
Not nice to have to redo again considerable work on a 160 pages book, on a deadline.
Definitely there is something to be fixed there.
If anyone had experienced anything like this, please let me know
I will try to reformat the book again now, hoping that it will work.
Otherwise I have really no idea about what to do.

Are you using Lr 4.3? If not, upgrade to Lr 4.3. There were issues with the Book Module in Lr 4.1.
For Lr 4.xx users the upgrade to Lr 4.3 is free of charge.
Download it from Adobe's website, install it, and - when asked - enter your serial #.

Changing the format?

How do you change the format of your pictures in iPhoto from jpeg to anything else? Do I have to open them up in another program to do that, and if so, what program? Is there something I can download? Thanks!

Emma*:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can change the format by using the File->Export->File Export menu option. There you can select on of several formats, resize the file if desired and then export to a folder on the Desktop.
Do you Twango?

Changing photo format from "microsoft word doc" to jpeg or other supported photoshop format

hi --
on my windows XP (home edition) i have many photos stored under "my documents." one is categorized as a "microsoft word document," despite the fact that it is a photo (this may be b/c i was very unskilled at the computer when i scanned this photo in and thus selected the wrong format? i'm still not "skilled" but i'm doing better!).
when i tried to import this photo into my photoshop album (starter edition 3.0), i got a message that says "format not supported" or something similar. how do i change the format of the photo so that it will be accepted into my photoshop album? i haven't had any trouble with photos in other formats (jpeg, etc.).
thanks very much for any assistance -- susie margaret

On my other computer I have a different photo software. Once I download the pictures from the card reader and left click on the photo I want, it simply gives me a choice to save it in the computer, under MY PICTURE or desktop etc. in jpg.
When I left click on the picture on the adobe photoshop 2.0 starter edition, it gives many choices such as : copy,turn, edit, but not saving.
How do I save it on the computer to add it to a real estate home sells website for pictures on the home advertisement or virtual tour. Also when the pictures were read off of the card reader it popped out all of the pictures 120 of them. I only need 3 of them saved. Please tell me step by step . Thank you.

[Access 2010] Change default formats for data types

Whenever I import data, the default format for Boolean data types is "-1,0." I know how to subsequently change this format to "Yes/No," but I'd like to change the default
setting to "Yes/No." Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I found you post the same question in other place and got the advice. I agree with Mr. Kees suggestion. The data type is a build-in default setting with Access, we can't change it. We may try the workaround via VBA to test.

Changing download file location in Safari

I want to change the download file location of my safari from the 'default downloads' into my external hard drive. But whenever I tried to change the download location, my external hard drive won't show up under option 'devices' even though it is inserted properly to its usb port. I also have it formatted to exFAT. Previoiusly, I was able to change the download file locations of my Safari to my different external hard drives but now Safari won't let me.
Here's a pic of how I tried to change the file location. But like I said, my external hard drive won't show up in the device option Help please?

To change the format of the list

Hi Guys ,
I have schduled a batchjob its a report program runs every week and after completion of the job it sends mail to the concerned guy with the details of the report .Its an Standard report everything is configured by using SM36 transaction .
Everything is fine but we have to change the format of the report to CSV could any one can guide me how can we change the format .
Thanks in advance,
Sathish.M

CSV means a text file, where the columns are separated by a character ";".
The best way to change a list to CSV is to create an internal table in the ABAP, with the structure of the required CSV.
You have to fill in this internal table.
Because you are running the program in background, you can't download the file, the best would be to store the file on the server in a separated directory.

Change photobook format iPhoto from 21x28 to ExtraLarge

While working on a PhotoBook in iPhoto I noticed I forgot to change the format before starting to put pictures in.
Is it possible to change the format (21x28 now) to ExtraLarge keeping the pictures in the book at the same time?
I mean, i got a lot of pages done already and I don't want to do all the work again. Hope I made myself clear..
I pretty much want to know if I can change the format of a book that is "complete and full of pictures."
Thanks for the help!!

And from CMYK to RGB?
As Larry has already pointed out you can't change the color profile with iPhoto.
However, there's an Automator workflow/app that can convert a TIFF image file to a JPG file and embed the sRGB color profile at the same time. I've created one with Automator, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, that can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar.
To use it export the photos out of iPhoto as Kind = Original and drop them on the application. This will avoid applying jpeg compression to the file twice, once when exporting as a jpeg and again when converting with the application.

Firefox unexpectedly changes download folder

After upgrade to FF7.0.1 (on Win7 Pro-64) I sometimes see a strange behaviour: while downloading a couple of files to the same folder, FF does occasionally change to another download folder - without request.
I.e. I save files to folder A, suddenly FF offers me folder B. After choosing back to A, a couple of files later FF offers folder G, and so on.
While working 10 - 12 hours with my PC, this happens once or twice a day. It doesn't depend on the file's format, happens with docs, videos, pics, pdfs, zips and other formats.

Since 6 months, while using and upgrading releases (from FF7 up to currently FF12.0, on Win7 prof 64) that behaviour "unexpectedly changes download folder" still shows up. Sometimes after the 2nd or 3rd file, sometimes not until the 10th ... numbers are changing.
So, former ideas "mime types could be a reason" won't work, because - in my case - the mime types of the downloaded files (i.e. series of pics from same address, series of movies from same address of my internet video recorder save.tv) are always the same (proved!)
Result: there is still work to do - good luck!
