File format? Translators? Not supported by MacLinkPlus?
I have mixed feelings about Pages but find that I'm using it more and more, (mostly because AppleWorks' font rendering on screen is so ugly). But I'm very nervous about committing much of my personal work to a nonstandard file format. Yes, I understand that Pages itself can export to other file formats, but that's not quite the same thing, particularly since there seems to be no batch support. I've been using personal-computer software for a long time and have been bitten by problems in the past. I don't like relying on any single piece of software as a way to access and/or translate files.
MacLinkPlus does not seem to support the .pages format, and that worries me.
1) Has Apple published specifications for the .pages file format?
2) Does anyone know whether MacLinkPlus is going to support Pages? I'm surprised that it doesn't given that Pages has been out for over a year...
3) Does anyone know of translators for Pages other than MacLinkPlus?
I have mixed feelings about Pages but find that I'm using it more and more, (mostly because AppleWorks' font rendering on screen is so ugly). But I'm very nervous about committing much of my personal work to a nonstandard file format.
Other than OpenOffice and Pages, every word processor uses a proprietary file format. If you don't like Pages then you're only left with OpenOffice (and that's not the best experience on the Mac).
1) Has Apple published specifications for the .pages file format?
Yes. Mostly complete XML specs for both Pages and Keynote are available on Apple's Developer web page for Apple Applications. Third party software developers are already doing import/export of Keynote documents. (Pages and Keynote are similar in that their file formats use the open XML standard.)
2) Does anyone know whether MacLinkPlus is going to support Pages?
Only DataViz can answer that. There's no reason they can't offer translation in MacLinkPlus for Pages. But I doubt they will when a user can currently export to Word, RTF, PDF, etc from Pages. What would be the incentive for DataViz to offer this feature, and why would someone spend the exorbitant amount they charge for MacLinkPlus. And I doubt that offering a batch translation feature for Pages documents would be a big enough feature for many people to buy MacLinkPlus.
3) Does anyone know of translators for Pages other than MacLinkPlus?
MacLinkPlus doesn't translate Pages (see above). OmniGroup already import/export Keynote 1 & 2 documents in OmniOutliner. They could also add Pages import/export as it's similar to Keynote, but I'd guess there's not yet sufficient customer demand for Pages. Not that importing into OmniOutliner would be any help.
Before deciding what to do, consider waiting till after the Macworld Expo keynote this coming Tuesday. It's very possible that Pages 2.0 will be available with a bunch of improvements and features. Maybe improved import/expoert will be one of the improvements.
Cheers.

I've had the product for a while and have tried editing without the book and using video's but it goes slow and I don't feel like I'm learning.
I'm sure there are shortcuts to be had and I'm re-inventing the wheel it seems.
"File Format not supported" means exactly what? Is my Windows Version not compatible?
Not used to chat rooms, would prefer personal training but that is not the way of things anymore.Okay, so I Right Click and nothing says "Link Media".
When I double click on an asset it says, "the selected file cannot be linked because it has 2 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s)."
However 1 video clip asset does open in CS4.
The "Lesson One" project itself says, "file format not supported." still. -
Firmware v1.13.01 @06.12.07 File Format (m4a) not support
Had firmware v.03.04 on my 8GB Zen - worked perfectley. Thought I'd try the new v.3.0 firmware. The m4a files I had loaded would not now play - 'File Format not supported ' erased files/reformatted andloaded new m4a files. 'File Format not supported ' again. Reverted to old firmware v.03.04 and allOK again: v.03.04 must be the 'sweet' firmware!
After firmware upgrading, the reader won't read anymore m4a high bitrate files.
Anyway, it can still play m4a(lc-aac) files up to 320kbps and m4a(he-aac) files up to 28kb
ps.
I tried it encoding files with winamp, I used M4A/LC-AAC and M4A/HE-AAC (NOT High Bitrate) -

Video that used to sync now "format is not supported"
Hi there,
After some odd behavior from my 160GB iPod Classic, I have restored it and am in the process of reloading it. I have one TV episode I ripped that is no longer syncing over to my iPod though. The video worked yesterday on the iPod and today it won't sync. I am receiving the "video format is not supported by the iPod" error. Any ideas on why this would happen all of a sudden? What the problem might be? How to easily resolve the problem w/o a re-rip? Thanks! The details of the video follow:
h.264 file - 640x480
AAC Stereo Audio (48 kHz)
29.97fps
bit rate: 1652.83 kbits/sec
Thanks again!I feel ya...I just bought a tv episode and it won't sync to my 160gb IPod and mine hasn't been restored just authorized for my other new laptop....anyone have any answers for us??

I could not find anything on this particular problem on apples support site. Any suggestions would be greatly apprecaited.

You need to be very specific. Exactly what are you syncing over to your iPod Nano? Can't help you unless we know which files are problematic.
Are you manually syncing or automatically syncing? If the latter, try syncing manually.
If you are getting the "the file format is not valid" message, suggest that you check out KB Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/sp569 which will tell you which files are "acceptable." -

Creative Zen V Plus - Seeking your help with "Audio format is not supported" error
Hi,
I have a problem with my Creative Zen V Plus and am looking for someone to do a quick test to help me. I listen to a lot of MP3 podcasts, so I often rewind, fast forward or set bookmarks inside tracks. When I do those operations in some tracks, I get the error ?Audio format is not supported? when I ?land on certain places in a track (and I am able to reproduce the problem, which happens always at the same place in a particular track).
Here is what I mean by ?land?. For instance, there is a particular track (see the mp3 link below) that whenever I rewind to exactly 35 min 37 seconds, I get the error ?Audio format is not supported? and playback is stopped. If I fast forward to exactly 35 min 37 seconds, I also get the error. If I set a bookmark to exactly 35 min 37 seconds and I then go to that bookmark, I also get the error. But I don?t get the error if I play the track normally without any rewinding or fast forwarding: the track is played and passes the 35 min 37 seconds mark without any error.
Creative Labs customer support wants me to return my player for repair, but I am not sure if the problem is with my player or if the problem would also be present on other Zen V Plus, thus my asking for your help.
I would appreciate if someone of you could try one of my problematic tracks on their player. Here is what you could do to help me:
1- Download and transfer to your Zen V Plus player the following audio file (it'ss a technology podcast and don?t worry, it'ss virus-free, it comes from CNET):
http://podcast-files.cnet.com/podcas...oud_090808.mp3
2- Go to the 35 min and 37 seconds mark, press PAUSE and set a bookmark there.
3- Go into the Bookmarks menu and go to the bookmark you just set.
4- Do you see the error ?Audio format is not supported?, or the audio plays just fine? If the audio plays just fine, could you tell me what are the first words you hear
when going to that bookmark, just so that I am sure we are indeed doing the same test on each of our side?
5- What firmware version is your player at ?
Thank you very much for any help you could bring me.
Patricknever mind. figured it out!

how do you repair the EFI systems partitions when you mac tells you that the live file system is not supported?
I don't have good news. You will need to repartition and reformat the hard drive in order to determine if the drive is still OK or if it needs to be replaced. If your computer is a 2011 model or later do the following:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
If your computer is pre-2011 model, then locate the original installer discs that came with the computer. Then do this:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. You can now download a version of OS X from which to upgrade from your Purchases page in the App Store. -
My DVD player is supposed to play avi videos, but it often doesn't telling me that the file format is not recognized. I suspect it's because it's the wrong codec. How can I tell what the codec is before I burn a DVD? And how do I get a workable codec? Thanks for uour help!
Ken Selvidge ([email protected])I am not a computer savy person. I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback. -
I cannot load videos purchased from iTunes onto my iPhone 4. Says video format is not supported.
I have most recent version OSX, iTunes and my iPhone 4 is up-to-date on software as well.
I just purchased, for my son, The Adventures of Chuck and Friends from the iTunes store. Downloaded the first season and it plays fine on computer. However I get a message that it was not copied onto the iPhone 4 because the video format is not supported by the iPhone. I have updated the software on the iPhone 4 and still get this message. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.is this something new then?
From the apple site:
Listen to audiobooks
You can listen to audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store or the Audible website.
Audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store can be played on up to five computers at a time. The computers must be authorized to play purchases from the iTunes Store. (You can’t play these files on a sixth computer until you deauthorize one of the already authorized computers.)
Audiobooks purchased from the Audible website can be downloaded to up to three computers at a time. The computers must be authorized to play purchases from Audible.
which is confusing because I am still having this problem, I can't find it on my laptop... -

What files formats does Itunes support
what files formats does Itunes support???
Been trying to load some anime into Itunes and they wont play on my Apple Tv, though they play on the computer. Why is that. I've got codes and all that other jazz. What gives....iTunes 11 can currently read, write and convert between MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AAC and Apple Lossless (.m4a).
iTunes can also play any audio files that QuickTime can play (as well as some video formats), including Protected AAC files from the iTunes Store and Audible.com audio books. There is limited support for Vorbis and FLAC enclosed in an Ogg container (files using the Ogg container format are not natively supported) or Speex codecs with the Xiph QuickTime Components. Because tag editing and album art is done within iTunes and not QuickTime, these features will not work with these QuickTime components. As of Snow Leopard, iTunes 9 (Mac) will play HE-AAC / AAC+ internet streams. The latest version of iTunes (Win/Mac) supports importing audio CDs with the default iTunes standard file format of AAC at 256 kbit/s, but users can choose from 16 kbit/s to 320 kbit/s constant bit rates (CBR) in either AAC or MP3.[citation needed] Importing of audio CDs into MP3 or AAC formats can also be accomplished using variable bitrate (VBR) encoding.
The Windows version of iTunes can automatically transcode DRM-free WMA (including version 9) files to other audio formats, but does not support playback of WMA files and will not transcode DRM protected WMA files. Telestream, Inc. provides free codecs for Mac users of QuickTime to enable playback of unprotected Windows Media files. These codecs are recommended by Microsoft.[34]
In addition to importing CDs into the iTunes library, the user can also import non-Apple mp3 files from Amazon.com and other sources. This can be accomplished by either right clicking on the file, selecting open with, and then selecting iTunes or dragging the file into the open iTunes window. Alternatively, for Amazon.com mp3s, the Amazon MP3 Downloader application will automatically import the mp3 files into the iTunes library. -
I have tried to view videos created in premiere elements 10 and I get the following message: "this file type is not supported, or the required codec is not installed. When it opens there is a red screen in the monitor panel with Korean writing which also appears in the place of each clip in the video. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling premiere elements 10, but that did not have any effect on the video. Do you have any suggestions? I researched codec, but do not understand them at all.

In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
that appears at the top of this forum.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
