Email attachments are changing the original icons to a generic preview icon

When I send or receive an attachment, the original icon such as photoshop is changed to a generic icon called preview which is white with a graphic of a photo and a magnifing loop. How do I stop this?
thank you!

Just getting ready to post this exact issue. Yes, when I drag a multipage pdf it converts it to a thumbnail jpeg of the file.
I thought my clients were on crack, but they aren't. Seems like the preview format (.png) on the new macs is creating the thumbnail but not actually linking the file.
My work around is to zip the file up and send it, but that isn't an optimal scenerio.
please advise.

I have a iMac 21,5" Intel mid 2011 and I need to know if is possible I change the original 500Gb HD for a 512Gb SSD? If yes, where I find a tutorial about this? Thanks a lot and best regards all.

Hi people,
I'm typing from Brasil, sorry my English.
I have a iMac 21,5" Intel mid 2011 and I need to know if is possible I change the original 500Gb HD for a 512Gb SSD?
I intend to keep the original DVD driver and install the SSD in the same HD place.
If yes, where I find a tutorial about this?
And I will like to know if the 512GB Solid-State Drive Kit for Mac Pro is compatible with iMac.

What brand and model of SSD do you recommend?
Thanks a lot for now and best regards all.

Since the late 2009 iMacs came out, replacing the hard drive has caused the internal Hard Drive Fan to start running at around 6000RPM.
This is due to Apple replacing the external Hard Drive temperature sensor with a proprietary firmware and using the drives internal sensor.
Replacement drives do not contain the firmware to deliver temperature data on the temperature sensor cable.
When the iMac does not receive a good signal from the hard drive it puts the fan at full speed to protect the drive.
If you replace your drive, your iMac will initially seem fine, but soon the fan will begin to speed up to full speed. Resetting the SMC (System Management Controller) will have a temporary effect, but again the fan will speed up.
Fixes people have used in the past included:
Using smcFanControl and the terminal to set a MAX speed for the fan and writing scripts to start this after every sleep/restart.
Shorting the temperature sensor cable (Not a possibility on 2011 iMacs) this tricks the iMac into thinking the drives temperature is very low, hence slow fan speed.
Both these fixes are less then perfect and leave the drive in a dangerous situation with no protection from overheating.
Another option people try is other Fan Control software. These programs will not work for this particular issue as they often only control the base speed, and if they do control the fans actual speed they rely on the temperature reported by the sensor which is now incorrect.
HDD Fan Control
HDD Fan Control works to fix this issue by reading the drives internal temperature using the S.M.A.R.T protocol and set the fans actual speed to a value good to protect the drive.
It runs at startup and continually to always control the fan correctly, prevent the loud fan noise and protect the drive from overheating
Instead of HDDFan Control, get the free SSDFan Control

Working on keyframes in a copied sequence changes the original sequence as well (Premiere Pro CS5.5)

Hi everyone,
maybe this is a very basic question, but the search in the forum didn't bring up any related questions, so here i go:
Let's say, i copy a sequence in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and paste it in the same project. I have some textclips with keyframes in them. (I do this, because the videos stay the same, i just write different things into them. When i change the keyframes in the copied sequence the way i need them there and then go back to the original sequence, the keyframes there were changed as well. This is not what i wanted.
My question therefore is: How can i make a copy of one sequence and then work on it without changing the original one at the same time? Why are they linked anyway? Is that just a selection in my version of Premiere Pro or is that a general thing?
Would be great, if someone could explain that to me.
thanks!

If you have not done the New Title Based on Current Title, what you have are Instances of that Title, and they are all linked to the original Title. Make a change, and it is global to all Instances. This is very useful, if for instance, you have a typo. Say that you have used the old Western moivie cliche Title "Meanwhile Bock at the Ranch," a dozen times, only to discover the typo. You only have to correct "Bock" to "Back" one time, and it corrects all Instances of that Title.
With New Title Based on Current Title, you have separate, individual, and un-linked Titles, so any change will ONLY affect the Instances of THAT Title.
While the Instances can be very useful, one can be easily confused, when a change to one Instance affects all others.
Good luck,
Hunt

BESX SP3 MR6 - Email attachments are now ALWAYS Auto-download - not good with duplicate attachment names

Does anybody else see where email attachments are now always auto-download on all devices. The policy option was phased out in 5.0 but the default at that time was no (to auto-download). Now they all auto-download.
1. PDF will not display because they must stay as attachment to render on Blackberry device. Says
“This attachment type cannot be viewed on your device”
2. Phone messages attached as voicemail.wav - first one works, but since no longer the "Preview" option second says "Fielname exists - Rename?" Some devcies you can save and go back - others you can't.

Surely there's an expert on this forum who can help?

Not able to change the original system of the object

Hello
BW infosource was created in the system Q01 (test) and transported back to D01 (dev).
I would like to change original system from Q01 to D01 to enable object modification.
I am not able to change the original system of the object in the tran se03 as system is disabled.
Original System          Q01   (grey)
Any solution for this ?
thanks

hi,
before transporting maintain the settings in the Dev system as follows.
Open tcode RSA1 in dev system, from Menu goto -- tools -- Conversion of Logical system Names.
In this maintain the
Original source system                                   Target source system
Technical name of R/3 client of test              Technical name of R/3 client of dev system
This setting has to be maintained while transporting the changes to next system, this ensures that the objects are mapped to the correct source system name on importing and are replicated properly from them.
regards,
Arvind.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

IPhoto changes the original creation date to 12/31/1969

Hi folks, this is a problem I have been trying to resolve for a very long time.
I have a large collection of pictures that I took with a Palm Zire 71 and Zire 72 going back to 2003. Every time I import the files with iPhoto (File > Import to Library), iPhoto changes the original creation dates of the jpgs to 12/31/1969. I have tried many different things... most recently I burned the files to a CD, confirmed that the original creation dates were still in tact, and tried importing with iPhoto right from the CD. I got the same result... all photos with the date 12/31/1969. All photos completely disorganized because of Palm's less than great file naming structure. I need to keep the creation dates intact for the iPhoto books I want to make with them, so changing the file names won't work as a solution. Even changing the files names to the creation dates plus a counter would be very difficult because it is over 1500 pictures. Does anyone else know of this problem and perhaps have a solution for it? Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion TD. But the Batch doesn't help in this case because so many of the photos were created on different days. I would still have to manually go into each of the creation dates and change them back to the original.
That's just not feasible for 1500 files. iPhoto shouldn't be stripping the files of the creation dates at import to begin with. I'm hoping to find a way to get the import process to work properly for these files. The weird thing is that iPhoto doesn't seem to do this to files create on a more typical point and shoot camera,
but only on these Palm files.

Easy Way To Change The Original File Name??

I store all my music and videos on iTunes. I just got a AT&T Tilt and I have to use WMP to sync to it. I can't drag and drop iTunes playlists into my media card cause my Tilt uses Windows.
My main problem with WMP is even though I edit the song/video name, it still syncs over the original file name. If I change the original file name for WMP then I have to rename it for iTunes cause when I go back to iTunes to play the song/video, it says the file is missing. It's a pain
For example, in my iTunes music foler in My Music, I have a song file named Britney_Pieceofme.mp3. I edit the name of the song and artist to Britney Spears Piece Of Me but when I sync it to my phone, the original file name appears.
Thanks!

I think you may need to "look" into the song to see what information is contained in the mp3 tag. WMP automatically sees that information and will store the song at the name in the tag. To solve your problem, you will need an mp3 tag editor (google search) where you can change the tags on your songs, then put them on your Tilt. I think/hope this solves your problem.

How do I change the image used on an movie project icon? iMovie seems to select an image at random from the images I imported.

How do I change the image used on an movie project icon?
iMovie seems to select an image at random from the images I imported.

Not sure I understand how to use what you have posted. Here's what my init() looks like:
public void init()
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
p=new Panel();
p.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1));
callnowButtonURL = getURL(callnowButtonFilename);
if (callnowButtonURL != null)
callIcon = new ImageIcon(callnowButtonURL,"call");
endcallButtonURL = getURL(endcallButtonFilename);
if (endcallButtonURL != null)
endIcon = new ImageIcon(endcallButtonURL);
b=new JButton(callIcon);
b.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(0,0,0,0));
b.setBorderPainted(false);
b.addActionListener(this);
p.add(b);
add(p,"Center");
Now the ActionListener is basically:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if (mybool == false)
<Perform actions here set mybool to true>
Change JButton b to use EndIcon
else
<Perform actions here set mybool to false>
Change JButton b to use CallIcon
Can you clarify how to perform the action I require? You can have a couple of Dukes if you can help me sort this out.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way. Delete just as you would any other message that you don't want. It's probably just as well that there is no universal deletion capability. I can see many of us committing a major "oops."

Even with Apple Configurator most of the settings cannot be locked, and that includes the language settings. Most schools and organizations seem to just accept that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads on a regular basis.
