File type help

Hi All
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me or point me in the direction of a list of file types that illustrator can open.
I am the CAD manager here and have been asked to find a better file type than PDF to send to the advertising agency we use.
Any help would be hugely appriciated.

Unknown file type - help

Please help me identify this file, "IOAHCIBlockStorage.original". What is it? What does it do? Do I leave it alone/delete it?
It is located at the root of my boot volume. I've never noticed it before. Only since updating to Yosemite.
Thanks for your help.
My Mac: MacBook Pro 15" non-Retina, mid-2012, OS X Yosemite.

It doesn't do anything. You can delete it. However, if you tried to modify any system components, you need to reinstall the OS after backing up all data.

Converting to the correct file type - Help.

Hey guys, I have 7 videos which are 720p quality but are .wmv format. And as you may know, this .wmv format cannot be imported into iMovie 09.
I've tried ffmpegX which is a free converter to try get the videos into .mov format so i can edit them in iMovie 09. But it just converts instantly and the file it converted too won't open so i'm guessing the conversion failed.
So my question is, what else can i try that can convert these .wmv format to .mov and keep the best quality possible?
Thank you very much for your time,
Kraikky.

First download the free version of Flip4Mac. Then you should be able to play the files on your Mac using QuickTime PLayer.
If it works, download one of the Flip4Mac paid versions so you can do the conversion. Also download MPEG Streamclip (which is free)
Use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec.

Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago. Rest of playlist was ACC too. P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
thanks, Melody

PDF File Type Icon Not Displaying HELP!!!

Hey guys!
I have a quick question that I need resolved. Make sure you READ before you respond as people seem to be having trouble with this one.
Something happened on my system to where .pdf files aren't displaying the PDF file type image anymore. They're just displaying the Windows default non-associated file icon.
But the weird thing is that the .pdf file type IS associated with Adobe Acrobat, and when double clicked they DO open in Acrobat.
I checked inside of Acorbat.dll and the file type icon IS in there...so this is leading me to believe that something is messed up in the registry to where Windows doesn't know to link a .pdf with the icon inside of Acrobat.dll.
So my question is this...how do I RELINK the .pdf file type with the PDF file type icon located inside of Acrobat.dll???

Before you start editing the registry try the suggestions given in the FAQ:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbc2da9
failing that try doing a repair of acrobat from the help menu.
If still no joy let us know.

File type changing during "Save As" - Help!

Good Morning! I have a set of tif files converted from RAW that I'm resizing for an order for a client and every time I do a "Save As", the file gets changes to an extension of $CB, then Adobe and nothing else will recognize it.
The history;
Converted RAW to Tif in Bridge CS3
Opened in PSCS3 extended - cropped to size - do the Save As, still shows the file as a Tif in file type - reopened the original to make another size and noticed that file I just created is not there. No, I didn't save the file with the same name, thus Save As.
My normal file naming, I just add a designated letter at the end of my file name to indicate the finished size ie.. legion post 576_001D.tif (D = 8 x 10) The original file would be legion post 576_013.tif. I did this on 3 different computers, using PS 7.01, CS2, CS3 and CS4, all the same results.
Also, I can view the original tif in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer - as I normally am able to, however, this new one comes up with the error and unrecognizable file.
Now I'm wondering did the RAW conversion did something.
Help, I need to get these off to my printing service!
thanks,
Jan

Never mind! Found the problem!
For some reason, there was a check on the “Hide Extensions for Known file Types”.
I had to Go to Tools – Folder Options – View and uncheck “Hide Extensions for Known file Types”. Would have never guessed that one!
You know one of those places your always changing things in!!!!! NOT!
Anyway, it works!

Problem with file type... some files have been changed to folders... Help !

Hello,
I have problem with some files that are located in Library / Quicktime.
I have 7 files in that folder and all are .component files.
3 of them used to look like a lego block :
DivX Encoder.component
macam.component
MayaIFF.component
But today, I have accidentally change them into folders (and I don,t Know how...) So instead of having thoses 3 files with the lego block icon , I have 3 folders and If I click on thoses folder, It open like a standard folder, so I see the "content" folder inside them...
How can I change it back to the .component file type they should be... I know how to change the type of a file, but since they are now folders, there's no "file Type" associated with them (right click / infos)...
Help !

There are lots of things that are in fact folders, but the Finder treats them as "files"--in the sense that normally when you select one you cannot see the contents of the folder. One way this is done is by the use of certain extensions, for instance .app, .pkg, .mpkg, .bundle and .component all tell the Finder to NOT display the folders as folders. If you do a GetInfo on them and the name is still "whatever.component" and the Kind: Component is still showing, and you haven't noticed any problem with QuickTime, then don't worry about it.
Those are all third party QT components. If they aren't working, you may have to reinstall them from the original source.

Help with file type

In Adobe Camera Raw, is there a way to select the file type that you save your image in. It seems .dng or DMG are the onle file types, or am I missing something. I would like to save my orginal CR2 file and save a copy in jpeg for others to open. Please help.

NO. Don't click on Save Image Button. Instead go to:
File >> Save as
You'll get a dialog like this one:
You need to click on the arrow shown in the red box to select the various file types.

Problem with file types. Please help

I recently downloaded the entire Sun Java Tutorial and have started to go through it. At the end of the first main trail about inro to OO Programming, there is a question/answer portion. There are a couple of excercies where you are to go through the ClickMe app and change some things around. When you click the 'click me' hyperlink, it would open the source in a new Internet Explorer window. That didn't work well for me as I can't very well edit anything in an Explorer window. So, I decided to change and do an 'open with' and used NotePad. Well, it didn't open it in a very readable format... so I thought 'forget it' I want to get it back to the IE format where I can at least read it easily. So, I've started to dig around and now I can no longer do an 'open with' and if you go into the View, Options, File Types 'JAVA' isn't listed anywhere in there.... BUT if I try to add a new type it says'java_auto_file' is associated with another program. So, then I got into REGEDIT and tried to modify the 'java_auto_file' key to use InterNet Explorer... but now I can't get the thing to even open in IE. HELP? If anyone can do this and see what I'm talking about can you figure out how to get me back to how it was when I pulled off the Tutorial....I'm lost. Thanks

Try Netscape -- it lets you see the source files .java when you click on the link.
Messing with Window's Registry is risky business. Try to find the old working copy and restore/rename it.

"Problem: Unable to play file type for...". Moderator please help

When using the spotlfy app from squeeze box I get this message every time: "Problem: Unable to play file type for" then list the song name. I can pick the music and see the art but no play. This is when I am attempting to stream from spotlfy on squeeze box. Logitech customer service told me spotlfy has not been running on squeezebox for weeks. Please help or I'll have to cancel subscription.

The 3rd party plug-in solved this problem for me, but only after I'd figured out a few other things, so I'm sharing them here: a) You have to have BOTH plug-ins running, both the v 1.0 "official Spotify plug-in " *and* the third party plug-in, which is on v2.3.8 as I write this. b) after you have activated the third party plug-in (and re-started the Squuezebox server) You have to open up the settings for the plug-in ( link in the far right colum) I don't think it matters how you choose to set these (I didn't mess with them.) The critical thing is that you must log into your Spotify account from within the this plug-in settings screen in order for the 3rd party plug-in to do its job. (And maybe you'll have to re-start the Squeezebox server yet again. I just do that without even thinking when trying to sort out these problems.) What makes this all challenging is that the symptoms change at each step: At first, with just the official plug-in activated, I got the "can't read file format" error message. After activating the 3rd party plug in (but before logging in from inside it) Spotify appeared to be working perfectly on the screen of my Squeezbox controller, indicating that a song was playing (even the bright white light that shows something is streaming was lit.) However. no sound was actually coming through. After I logged in as above, I finally got music to match all the on-screen indications. No logic to this that I can figure out. It just seems typical of life with Squeezebox.

Itunes delays ONLY when playing mp3's. Also it delays when I move any file type into a playlist. Help! I'm about to go back to Windows Media Player!

Hi friends! Like I said Itunes delays ONLY when playing mp3's. Also it delays when I move any file type into a playlist.
Here's what I've done so far;
I 've checked my external hardrive (by playing it off my internal instead), I've tried reinstalling (although it wasn't an uninstall), I've tried clicking on all the neccesary boxes (let itunes organize files, copy files, consolidate, and reorganize), I've tried different sound cards, I've tried moving files quickly (as some have said this works). I'm not sure what's wrong. I have 7000 songs.
Any help would be great!

Have you tried installing Media Manager on another computer and streaming the songs from there?
How about smaller playlists? See the same problem?

despite the workaround, it doesn't fix the real problem. It shouldn't be a huge deal for adobe to add support for multiple svn versions. Dreamweaver is the first tool i've used that works with svn that doesn't support several types of svn meta data. If they're going to claim that Dreamweaver supports svn is should actually support svn, the current version, not a version several years old. This should have been among the first patches released, or at least after snow leopard came out (and packaged with it the current version of svn).
does anyone know if the code that handles meta data formatting is something that is human readable, or where it might be, or is it in compiled code.
i signed up for the forums, for the sole purpose of being able to vent about this very frustrating and disappointing situation.

Applescript help - print specific file type

I keep getting error messages when trying to get this script to print only the PDFs in my Distiller "Out" folder:

If I leave out the "if/then…PDF" part it works fine, but Distiller spits out a log file that it keeps trying to print.
I'm no Applescript genius (obviously), but I am stumped on the logic here. Any ideas?

Hi, George -
...discovered that the file type is 4 characters...
Expanding on that a bit -
In OS 9, all File Type and Creator codes are exactly four characters long. These characters can include 'special' characters, such as spaces as well as others; and case (upper case or lower case) is important.
In the case of PDF's, the Type code is PDF - note that the final character is a space.
