Fireworks has changed all my gif files into index can't edit in photoshop
Fireworks has taken over my gif files and now when I try to edit them in photoshop I can't. It says index on the end of file and the layer is locked. I need fireworks to stop this so no other files do it. I have been going into photoshop an saving them as a jpg. file but that can get old. Is there anyway to stop fireworks from doing this?
Glad this helped!
It's interesting: Fireworks makes it much easier to work with GIFs. You just open up the file and start working. Fireworks doesn't have color modes (Grayscale, Indexed Color, RGB, CMYK, Lab) like Photoshop, and is much more geared towards hex codes—which I'm guessing is what indexed color systems use. This makes sense, as it was built to be a web graphics editor.
Apparently, GIFs don't support layers. Fireworks will let you add layers to your GIF, but once it's time to save the file, it'll let you know that you must either save the file in a different format or else the result will be flattened:
Photoshop isn't nearly as friendly to GIFs. Depending on the action you choose, you might get a clue about the need to convert to another color mode, like this one that appears when attempting to use the Dodge Tool:
Just as often, though, you'll only get greyed-out options or an angry "boop" sound from your computer—like when you double click on the locked "Index" layer—with no information provided. I think the engineers could improve this by adding a similar alert message to the Dodge Tool, or even better, by offering a prompt with the option to convert the image to RGB directly (when a user double clicks on the locked layer).

Please help me, I gave my information out to a person and he has changed all my information and I can't log back in.
Adrian Lee is the person I gave it to.
He told me to email him my information so he can level me up in the game Clash of Clans so I did and he changed all my information and I told him to give it back via email and he refused but suggested to restore my iPod and it would go back to normal and I dis, I nearly lost everything since I haven't backed it up for a while and I'm a Music Producer, this password is my paycheck, my food, my rent, my everything, now I'm not sure if this is the right place to go to but please help me. i'm begging you to please restore my password.. I'm not asking for anything of what I lost back, just my password so I can change it, get my things back and move on with my life. I have really back anxiety attacks. Please. I'm begging you. You guys are my last chance..
<Emails Edited By Host>If you can't contact the person and get the information back then:
- Contact the police for help
- Restore from backup.
If you can't get it from the person or from a backup then it is lost.
In the future be carrful about who you give your login information to. -
IPhoto has turned all my RAW files into JPG :(
When I had to restore my iPhoto library, everything but the last import is now a jpeg. There are a few pictures that are now giving me an "!" when I try to edit them. Does iPhoto effectively destroy your photos when you restore them from a backup, or even editing them?
I have changed Image Capture to put the files into a folder now, but what do I need to get to get iPhoto from messing up my files?Terence Devlin wrote:
Two possibilities here:
1. You didn’t make a proper back up
or
2. You didn't make a proper restore.
Without knowing what you did in either case we have no way of knowing where you messed up.
Using Time Machine through a wireless connection. Tell me where I went wrong in setting this up.
There are a few pictures that are now giving me an "!" when I try to edit them.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. Again suggests that you either messed up the back up or the restore.
Again, using TimeMachine for backup and restore.
Does iPhoto effectively destroy your photos when you restore them from a backup, or even editing them?
iPhoto does not "effectively destroy your photos" in any circumstance.
When you import a photo to iPhoto that Original file is preserved exactly as it was when you imported it. It is not changed in any way. Edits are carried put on copies. So, as I say above, you need to clarify what you did to back up and restore to discover where you've gone wrong.
but what do I need to get to get iPhoto from messing up my files?
iPhoto doesn't. You need to learn how to use it?
Been using it for years, never had a problem with it until now. Do you have classes that you teach on the proper way to use iPhoto? -
Virus has changed all the office file format and cant open those file
Hello
Recently I attacked by some new virus which is changed my all the office document files and added a extra extension after the office file extension.If I manually change the infected file extension to orginal file format and try open it shows error message.
Although having System Center Endpoint Protection how could it would be the affected by the virus ?
Now please suggest me how to recover the those files to orginal file format or recover MS office file???
ThanksHi,
Anti-virus solutions are necessary to protect your system but it can never be a 100% secure.
Once Office files are damaged by the viruses, we can't guarantee the files can still be recovered.
Anyway, you can still try the "Open and Repair" feature in Word to repair the file.
Take Word 2013 for example, click FILE -> Open -> Browse to the file location -> Select the document -> Find the "Open" button, click the "Open and Repair" button from the drop list. Check if this can repair the document.

That does sound frustrating! It sounds as though the filename associations have become confused on your computer. You should be able to reset that easily. Here are some instructions:

I am trying to figure out how to clear my massage backlog on Messages for Mavericks OS. I believe a lot of space is taken up by this running in the background keeping recent messages loaded. Especially with all the gif files I've been sending. Is there a way to select all and deleter? Please help! Can't find anyone who looks to do the same just lots of manuals for using the app on iphones and ipads.

even via time machine the new osx lion has deleted all my latest files in iPhoto and will only revert back to an old 2009 backup?... Help?!
Have you verified that the original files are missing from the Originals/Masters folder? There are time when the library might appear empty due to a damaged database file but still has the files. If you can open the library package via the Finder to see if the files are really missing or just can't be seen by iPhoto there are fixes you can try.
If the files are there make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Import all your picture files into iMovie
How do you import all your picture files into imovie all at one instead of one at a time?
Put them into a folder then drag the folder to the timeline in a project. It's best to use iPhoto for this, as it's easily accessible from the Photo Browser in iMovie.
In iPhoto, create an album containing all the photos you wish to import to iMovie. The iPhoto album can then be dragged from iMovie's Photo Browser. It's best to place the photos in the desired order in the iPhoto album before dragging into the iMovie project.
By "pictures" I'm assuming that you mean photos (or stills) - not video clips.
