File compression for Mac

I have been looking everywhere for a utility that actually compresses a file, not just making an archive. I am looking for a program that can compress files in the .zip format; is there such a program made?

Music files are already compressed and therefore you will not gain much from trying to compress them. Data can be compressed easily with savings of 50% or more depending on the type of file.Stuffit is the most widely known in the mac arena.

How do I get a Captivate SWF file converted for MAC products?

I thought I'd be able to publish to HTML5 and then use the APP Packager to get the file in a formate for Macs, but the HTML5 file doesn't work correctly. The program has 62 slides, and may just be too long to convert to HTML5.
I really need my program to work on MACs, and my SWF runs perfectly.

Okay - the big question must be:
1) Are you trying to publish an HTML5 compatible course, which users can view on their iPad using the Safari browser?
or
2) Are you trying to publish your course as an App, which must be uploaded and distributed through the App Store?
If it is number 1 then it is as Rod says. You need to upload all the published files to a web server. The users can then access your course in their Safari browser on the iPad by going to the URL (www.yourdomain.com/mycourse/)
If it is number 2 then you'll need to :
a) Get an Apple Developer ID
b) Run the course through the Adobe Captivate App Packager
c) Upload the finished App to the App store.

When I convert a file (Word for Mac) my links are no longer clickable.

I created a document in Word for Mac that included several hyperlinks. When I convert the file using Acrobat to a PDF, the links are still colored and underlined but no longer can I click through on them. How do I maintain the click through ability in the PDF form?

I am using Adobe Acrobat XI from the Creative Cloud. On a Mac. Apparently keeping links clickable from Word/Mac to Adobe Acrobat is a known issue).
See this forum thread I later found after posting this question: Losing links when saving Word 2011 Mac to Acrobat Pro X 10.1.3
I was successful in exporting to Pages then creating a PDF, however, I had to spend time adjusting quite a bit of formatting, which was less than ideal. And some formatting (like quote boxes) changed in Pages and I cannot get the Word version of the Quote Box. So again, not idea There are some other fixes mentioned in the link above that I am going to try.

Import CSV file Skype for Mac

Cannot seem to import contacts. It is well hidden if it is possible, if not, it is a ridiculous omission.
Dear Skype;
Please add the feature of importing contacts from a CSV file, or better yet from a google account.

There is no way to import contacts directly into Skype for Mac from a CSV file. However, you can import contacts (with email and phone information) into Contacts.app. These system contacts can then be viewed in Skype using the Mac Contacts feature. See Preferences > General > Show Mac Contacts.
Part of the reason that it's not currently possible to import contacts in this way is because of the hadshake required: you must send a contact request to each contact you wish to add to your list. This includes a message explaining who you are, and why they should add you. Most people won't be able to receive a call or IM from you until they've accepted your contact request.
One last thing: your contact list is stored in the cloud. So when you log into Skype for Mac, you'll see your list of contacts just as it was on your Android device (for example).

Any .trm file players for mac -- or a way to convert them to wma files

I have some .trm files that I need to play, but right now they are only working in my windows partition. I'd like to know if there are any .trm file players for OS X or any software that can convert these trm files to an mp3 or wma file that will play on the mac partiton. I use a free program called express scribe to listen to recordings on my mac, but it won't play .trm files, and I'd like to continue to ues the mac partition instead of having to use Windows, which I hate with a passion. Can anyone help me?
I'm using Snow Leopard as well.

Okay, there are a few ways to do this using older versions of ForTheRecord's player software. Probably the most direct is (if you the ability to run Windows or to access a machine running Windows), download and install the older version 5.4.2 (the file is named Player542setup.exe) at http://community.fortherecord.com/index.php?/files/file/725-therecord-player-542 -old-version-player542setupexe
Once you install this player, you should be able to play your trm file. When you click on the "Save a Copy to" button (just to the left of the rewind button on the player, it will bring up a small window with options that include "Save format" and you can select "Windows Media" which will save the file to .wma format. This might be enough for you. I however, prefer working with mp3 files and then take the wma file and convet it using All2MP3.
I wish you luck. This company is not only Mac hostile, but they appear to be desperately clinging to an older business model that rewards tricks and gimmicks and fake excuses to keep their "propriatry" and inferrior software limitations - so that they can hold clients hostage. Anyway....
I too have not come across this in some time. I run a small business administering law firms and a staff of paralegals and we all generally use Macs and have virtually no problem with any service these days. Whether it is our large prominent client or our small sole practitioner - Macs have been our choice - and this headache with trm files is a rareity. Thankfull, the software the Court's normally use allows a straight to mp3 conversion, unlike this second intermediate step we have to take with your files.
Good luck.

SDM Prelogin File Check for MAC

Has anyone had any success using the File Check to search for a file on a MAC PC? I have been successful scanning anything on the PC side. I am trying to scan a file location on a MAC which is in the following path/location.
"/Applications/Sophos\ Anti-Virus.app"
The prelogon policy is either success or Login Denied. Of course when testing the login is denied.
Is there anyone who have dealt with this before or are there any debug commands which I can use to troubleshoot?
"debug dap trace" doesn't seem to yield what I am trying to see.

Sorry I meant include a "/" etc.!

File sync for Mac

I subscribed to CC in July - apparantly while sync was temporarily not working - I am STILL waiting. I have contacted support chat several times and they always direct me to this forum. Could a STAFF member or someone who knows anything about this help me PLEASE! Each time I turn on Sync files, it starts, then says: Creative Cloud Server Error. If I log into CC on another computer, my files are all "empty". This defeats the whole reason for me subscribing to CC, and is extremely frustrating. Please can someone help!! Rochelle (New Zealand)

Would you mind collecting and zipping up the CoreSync log files and uploading them to Creative Cloud through a browser, and sharing the link to them here?
The name of the log files are CoreSync-YYYY-MM-DD.log
(where YYYY-MM-DD indicate the date of the last log)
They are located at :
For Windows
C:\Users\[your user account]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync\CoreSync-YYYY-MM-DD.log
For Mac
\Users\[your user account]\Library\Application Support\CoreSync\ CoreSync -YYYY-MM-DD.log
Note: the Users Library user folder is hidden on starting with 10.7 or later

File sharing for mac

I need a file sharing program for mac. I tried poisoned, and another one, but they all have pc files, isn't there a mac only file sharing program, one that only shares mac files?

AStedraDJ:
Maybe if you described what you are trying to accomplish it will be easier to direct you. Mac OS has it's own file sharing feature which enables file sharing between two macs. In OS X go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sharing. However, if that is not what you are looking for please post back with further clarification.
Good luck.

Blackberry IPD File Conversion for Mac- annoying.

Brethren,
All of the online converter software only seems to work with Windows, not for a Mac. Does anyone know how I can convert the data to something usable? My company will not let me download the Blackberry software to my work computer, which would allow me to transfer easily to my new blackberry. Also, I don't want to get off my large behind and go to a store to do it.
Cheers

File Encryption for Mac and Windows

I need to exchange with Windows users files which will contain financial and other sensitive data. Version Tracker & Mac Update have lots of Mac only encryption programs but I'm looking for one that works on both platforms.

The ideal solution would be PGP, which would not require you to ever transmit a key that could be intercepted and used to access the data. With PGP, you have a public key and a private key, and your colleague/client has a public key and a private key. You trade public keys, and protect your private keys. When you send data, you encrypt using a public key, and then only someone with the corresponding private key can decrypt it.
I've never tried this, but there's some free PGP software at:

HELP!!! NEED A FILE SHREDDER FOR MAC OS 9.1

Hi. I have a problem: I want to sell my old Mac G3 with MAc OS 9.1, but cannot find a file shredder to be able to erase my personal files properly!!!!
Can someone help me!!! Please!!!
rAtMonKeY

Burn 2.5 from www.thenextwave.com has worked fine for me for years. I keep an alias of it next to my Trash and just drag and drop a file onto it if I want to securely erase a file.
Also, PGP 6.5.8, the great freeware encryption program by Phil Zimmermann, has an "erase free space" function which one can use to wipe all the free space on your Mac which might have remnants of personal files you had earlier erased.
Also, if you have the install CDs, one could always reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system and write 0s and 1s to the hard drive during this process, but that would wipe all current files off your disk as part of the process.

What is a good vob file converter for mac?

I want to use some old family videos and stills in a new iMovie. How do I convert .BUP, .IFO, .VOB files to use in iMovie?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion or later:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Free .flv file player for MAC OS 9 ?

Anybody know of a free MAC OS 9 .flv file player or converter?
Thanks

This works for me when installed in the Plugin Folder of Internet Explorer 5.17 in OS9.22. For example YouTube videos, which require Flash, run fine (if rather slow to load on my dial up account).

JPEG file viewer for MAC 10.4 tiger

Hi,
My mac (laptop) doesn't open jpeg files.
Is there anyone who knows which free program I can download to view jpeg files?
Thanks.

If Preview is not opening when you double-click on a jpeg, Get Info on the jpeg file and set Preview to be the default application for viewing jpegs. Click on the Change All button to make all jpegs open with Preview.
