File type: image/pjpeg--how do you open these?

I just recieved a photo as an email attachment. The file type is image/pjpeg. I can't open it. When I try to open it ColorSync Utility opens and give me the message that it cannot open files of this type. When I try to use Preview to open it, which works just fine for jpeg, the name of the file appears grey, indicating that it is essentially invisible to Preview. I've never seen this file type before and can't find an application to open it. Any suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
An image/pjpeg is a progressive jpeg.
They're hardly ever used, because no one can open them.
And you need special software to convert it to a jpg.
You could try changing the extension of the file from .pjpeg
to .jpg -- See if it will open then. If if won't then just tell the
sender that they've sent a type file that can't be opened, and see
if they can't take a screenshot of the photo, rather than a pjpeg.

  • .ASPX Files??? How do you open them??

    How do you open a .aspx file? It says online to use Safari or IE but it wont let me use safari to open it or view it and IE is no longer made..please help i need to view this file
    Thanks!
    ~mike

    A file with the extension .aspx is an ASP.NET file. ASP.NET is a technology for building Web applications.
    Unfortunately, the file has to be on an ASP.NET-enabled server to be viewed. You can't view (as far as I know) an aspx file locally.
    You can view the source code in a text editor like BBEdit or TextEdit, but you won't be able to view the Web page the code represents.

  • TS1371 a lot of my itunes downloads won't open on my PC.  They're turning into alb files....How do I open these files?  Can anyone help?

    a lot of my itunes aren't opening....they're coming up as "alb files"....What is this? How do I open them?  Can this be avoided?

    Sorry it took so long to get back on this. Orignally the uninstall of QuickTime didn't work, but I just tried it again this morning, and it worked perfectly. I have no idea why though, because now iTunes opens on my PC without a version of QuickTime on it (at least as far as I can tell in Add/Remove Programs). At this point I guess I don't really care why it's working though, just that it's working. Thanks for your help!! --Rob

    Unfortunately changing the epub text size does not change the view at all. The images do not seem to change when the text size setting is changed.
    The resolution of my machine is already at the max setting, so increasing the resolution is kind of impossible.
    Any other suggestions I could try?  Thank you for your suggestions!

  • How do you open a DVD/file in another search engine

    how do you open a DVD/file in another search engine?

    Hi
    I think it is simpler than that: place DVD in computer and then try to run a video from the disk. It will not run using Safari, but I know it runs in Firefox which I have on the computer.
    I believe that I can depress one of the moifier keys while clicking an item on the application menu bar to open a menu where you can open the dvd using Firefox or another application.
    Should be simple, but yet to find solution.

    To anyone using an Apple iPad w/ PS Touch.  How do you open an image on the iPad, via Photo Stream, into PS Touch?

    You need to start from PS Touch for this.
    There's two ways either direct in the gallery with the +image icon.
    Or you create a document and use the +image icon in the document view.
    thanks,

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

    How do you open a Microsoft Publisher (.pub) file using inDesign?

    You don't.
    To get some semblance of the original content into Indesign, you could export the Pub file to PDF, then use PDF2ID, (probably a free trial available out there), to convert the PDF.
