Has the file size of maintenanceservice_installer.exe changed above 157,698 bytes (security sw complains)?

In the past, my Firefox has updated automatically. This (I understand) means the file "maintenanceservice_installer.exe" has been running, allowing the dialog box that would ask me permission to update to be avoided. Now, today, my employer's security software complains that this file should be blocked, and do I want to allow it to run. This is consistent with the file signature having been changed (as by malware, such as from a couple on non-standard websites I visited yesterday). The actual file size on my disk is: 192, 768, dated Wed, 12/5/12 9:32:22 AM. But, checking on the Internet, this file has been known, in the past, to be 157, 608 bytes in size. So, has the file been intentially changed by Mozilla, or has my file been corrupted. If the latter, how should I proceed - delete the file, and would that cause that to be loaded again from the source?

Like Firefox itself, the Mozilla Maintenance service gets updated as well. You can check the current version by right-clicking ''maintenanceservice.exe'' and choosing '''Properties'''. This information can be found under the Details tab.
File size is not a very useful indicator of software authenticity. In the file properties window, check the '''Digital Signatures''' tab. If the signature is missing, invalid, or from someone other than “Mozilla Corporation”, then you have reason to worry.
The simplest thing to do is to download the Firefox installer and install on top of your current version while Firefox is closed. Your profile data (bookmarks, passwords, cookies and such) will not be affected.
* [https://www.mozilla.org/ www.mozilla.org] for the regular version of Firefox.
* [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all.html www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all.html] for the version of Firefox for organizations.
The more complicated thing to do is
# Uninstall the Mozilla Maintenance Service from the Windows Control Panel.
# Delete the registry key ''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\MaintenanceService''
# When Firefox is next updated, the maintenance service should be reinstalled automatically.

Change the file size of a photo?

I am trying to send a photo for a contest, and they want the minimum file size to be 4 MB. My photos go into iphoto as 5.2 mb files, but when i crop them to 4x6 size the file size changes to 2.2 mb. i am taking pics at the highest jpeg quality in the camera (an Olympus e500.) Is there a way to increase that file size again, or should I be doing something different. I don't have the original photo--it is on a cd. Should I be saving both the original and the edited photos on cd's? thanks

Hi again!
It all depends on how many megapixels your camera has to work with. If you have a 5 megapixels camera or higher you should be ok with cropping down. I would probably do as much cropping as I could in Preview instead of iPhoto. But I just don't think you can crop to set dimensions in Previews
I would seriously think about downloading something like Graphic Converter: http://www.lemkesoft.com/ - it's a shareware and free to download and try. It may take you awhile to figure everything out, but it's a very very good image editing software. You can do exactly what you needed to do with your project using GC and a tons more... hope you do well with your photo projects!

HELP! Why has my .txt iTunes Library export shrunk to half the file size?

I regularly backup my iTunes library with both the File > Export (.txt.) and File > Export Library (.xls). Recently I realized that the file size of the .txt exports have dropped in size. This considerable drop is about half of the size of the previous .txt exports. This makes no since, because all I have done is add to the iTunes library, not delete.
What causes this???

Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The issue with Pages is this: no other application on earth can open this document format, and as Apple has demonstrated, Pages v5.5 on Yosemite, cannot be opened with Pages v5.2.2 on Mavericks, which cannot be opened with Pages ’09 v4.3. One has to either export to Pages ’09, or .doc/x. Word Processing on Apple is an island with one bridge to the mainland: Word documents.
OpenOffice and LibreOffice use the same native open document (.odt) architecture. LibreOffice is more actively developed, supports many more document formats (including MS Publisher, Word Perfect, and Visio), and certainly can save as .doc, .docx, and Microsoft .rtf format. I have LibreOffice installed, and that 512KB Word (.docx) document? LibreOffice shrunk that down to a 12KB .docx. It was 14 pages and 60 paragraphs of text. Both OpenOffice, and LibreOffice are intended to be superset replacements for MS Office.
A competent, word processing application on the Mac that is free or inexpensive, and performs as the OO/LO applications? The following are in the OS X App Store, and I held the price below USD$50.
Swift Publisher 3 (DTP) - TIFF, JPEG, EPS, and PDF output, proprietary data format
iStudio Publisher (DTP) - PDF, ePub, and RTF documents, otherwise proprietary
Mellel (WP) - import: text, .doc/x, .rtf, ePub, save as: .mellel, export: text, .doc, ePub, PDF. 30-day trial.
NeoOffice 2014.5 (Office replacement) - (based on OpenOffice, Mac UI). Free edition cannot save documents.
Mellel is probably the most serious word processor, and is designed for writers. Text looks nicer set (kerning?) than Pages.

What is the correct location and file size of AppleMobileDeviceService.exe on Windows7 x64? iTunes (iTunes64Setup.exe)?

I am still trying to get the AMD service to start. I currently have it installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe". The file size is 54K. Can somebody confirn that both values are correct?

That's weird, I created the bin folder. The install puts it in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support" folder.

How do I find out the file size of my photos, and change them to the size

This will sound inane, but I cannot figure out where to find the file size of my photos in iPhoto. I need a jpeg of a certain file size and image size for my blog background, but can't figure out how to even start.

If the limited quality options do not get you the file size you need export the full size image files to a folder on your Desktop and use Resize! to batch resize the image dimensions and file size (jpeg compression level) to what you need.
Click to view full size
With Resize! you can fine tune the pixel dimensions and file size.

How can I reduce the file size of my .cp project file?

I am working in CP3 and creating training programs via computer simulations. Generally I try to eliminate any unnecessary animation in my slide (use of scroll bars, drop down menus etc.) because these seemed to increase my file size. I do have audio narration on almost every slide and I know that this helps to bump up my size.
Here's what I found to be so odd.
I have to create a new training module and I simply opened one of my .CP projects and did a SAVE AS with a new file name. I reduced the number of slides from 25 to 3. The three slides I kept are the title slide, closing slide and one slide that I'll call a content slide that has the color for my highlight boxes and text formatting. (I keep the content slide so I can simply copy and paste the boxes as I need them.) I removed all the audio. Finally I saved the new project. Imagine my surprise when the new file is 96,333 KB with only 3 slides, no audio and no animation. This is almost the same size as the original file. I published my 3-slide project, thinking it might change the size, but that was wishful thinking.
I telelcommute from my home and I am required to check these files out of a secured document library each time I need to update them. The upload time is KILLING ME!
What am I doing wrong? The Information section shows the file size as 783.9KB which seems more in line with what I would expect.
Any help, as always is appreciated.

Hi BIMB,
Here's my guess, others can correct if I'm way off.
What you see as the file size under the Cp4 Storyboard View Information is what the published file size would be sans any unused pics, audio, or swfs. So it should be relatively small given you only have 3 slides in your project.
What you see as the 'save as' version reflects all of the pics, audio, and/or .swfs you still have in your project's library.
Now if you've actually removed the audio files and pics from the Cp Library, then I'm not sure.
Curious to know if this helps,
Keith

When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

Here are the steps so you can see all the files that make up your Keynote…
Go to the Finder and find your Keynote file and make sure that it has the .key extension on it. If it doesn't, click it and command i to view info and uncheck the box that says Hide Extension.
Delete the .key and change to .zip and then click the use .zip in the dialog box that comes up
Double click the new .zip file and it will change it to a folder
Open the folder there are the files
Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file)
You might be able to do this and convert the voice narration to a smaller format.

Reduce the File Size of an Enhanced Podcast

Someone sent me a podcast episode exported from GarageBand. It's been exported as a .m4a and has several images inside of it. The problem is it's 17 minutes long and 50MB in size. The audio is encoded at 320 kbps. I try to use iTunes to change the file size (by selected Spoken or 128 in the Settings and then Advanced > Create AAC version). I get a much smaller file size but the photos disappear. How can I reduce the files size without losing the photos in this enhanced AAC file?
Thanks for the help!

Not with Reader. You need Acrobat Standard or Professional to reduce the size of a PDF.

How do I decrease the file size of my After Effects video without losing the quality?

I made a video that was 7 minutes and 11 seconds long for my brothers wedding. The quality is really good but the file size is 1.52 GB and I would rather have that be in the megabytes so that I can send it to family members. It does not have to be so low that I can send it in an email but just not so big to where I can't burn it to a disc or place on a flash drive. I realize that I have not provided much information but I don't know what you will need to help me with this problem. If you would please tell me what information you need below then I will happily provide it for you.

How can I reduce the file size of 3 videos?...

...without losing quality? These three videos are as follows in terms of size and length of the video:
1) 148MB 19minutes
2) 357MB 18minutes
3) 164MB 14minutes
I tried using a video converter to reduce the bit rate in order to reduce the size, which i know affects the quality, but that did not actually work to reduce the file size this time.
I thought perhaps i should ask my forum friends for help on this matter. How,if at all, can I get all three of these MOV's under 100mb or to a total of 300mb for all 3 and preserve quality? It has to be able to play on an ipad (MOV or MP4). Thanks for your help!

I think that the point that David was trying to make is that reducing the amount of information originally provided by a product or part of it in order to make it smaller will inevitably reduce the efficiency of the product itself.
However, you don't have access to the original masters? Then you might be after a good compromise, meaning a video that can display decent quality while playing at its original frame size (say on the web).
Does this mean that there is no real way to reduce the size without losing quality?
If your target is the web there is a way to reduce the file size and still make it look decent enough. Re-compression means loss of source information but video compression is an art on its own and can produce some amazing results!
Not without testing though.
Now back to my previous post, use Compressor to try to reduce the file size and compare the result quality. Trust your eyes and be honest with yourself.

Can I tell the file size of my .folio without an iPad?

I've been searching everywhere for this answer, but alas, it has escaped me. How can I tell the file size of my .folio? I'm sure this is really simple. I'd like to be able to see the final file size of my folio without an iPad.

I think if you log into acrobat.com, you should see your folio there, too.
You see the article sizes and may be able to add them together.
Be catuous, editing your folio through acrobat.com might break it.

Export QuickTime file with new audio and maintain the file size and quality as the original.

I shot some footage for a client yesterday and ran into an issue. To make a long story short I have QuickTime mov files shot with my Panasonic GH4 that have a buzzing sound in the audio track. I have clean audio from a recorder that can be sync'd. Is there a way for me to do this for the client and deliver them as the same QuickTime file but with the clean audio and keep the file size close to the original and not have quality loss in the image?
If so I will probably put all of the spanned clips together from each interview and sync the audio before delivery. I am just not sure which codec will give the client the same quality footage compared to the originals and not have a massive difference in the overall file size. They did request that they be Quicktime MOV files though so that is a must.
I don't see this as an option in the codecs in the export settings in PP, but is there a way to export as ProRes or another MAC native codec that will save them from having to convert it on their end? I am on a PC with Adobe CS5.5 so I am not too familiar with MACs, but from what I understand they would need to convert the files if I sent them straight out of the camera.
I found some related search results for this but they pertained to "Best quality" for export. I am not sure how the varying options work but I don't want to create files that are considerably larger, just not less quality.
If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cole

Here's the workflow: I imported the video footage into iMovie '08 and did my edits. Then I exported it (share) to my desktop with compression set @ 740 X 480. Then I used QuickTime Pro to fix the audio track. The file plays perfectly with both audio tracks working. It's a QuickTime file (.mov).
I hope this jars any replies as to why the file when uploaded to my iWeb gallery drops the second audio track.
Hmm,

How can I reduce the file size when PDF Optimizer does not do much?

I have a PDF form that exists of 48 pages. 44 pages are forms / have form fields, the other 4 are just informative. Each form-page has approx. 80 fields (checkboxes, text fields).
When I started setting up the PDF form the file size was 12 MB and I had placed fields on 21 pages. Then with 34 pages the file size was 19 MB. And with 40 pages it was 35 MB big! Finally with 44 pages the file size is 34 MB.
So I searched with Google and found some tips. Using the "PDF Optimizer" option inside Acrobat for example. So I did, and the file was reduced only with 3 MB... 31 MB was the file. Also used the option "Save as.... Optimized".... no difference. I also found a suggestion about removing embedded fonts. Using the "Audit Space Usage" option I noticed the fonts taking many MegaBytes:
* Content Streams: 5.287.000     15,09 %
* Fonts:                24.556.810     70,08 % !!
* Acrobat forms:      3.349.164    12,05 %
In the older PDF version (I saved and kept this one too) with just 21 pages with form-fields, the "Audit Space Usage" shows:
* Content Streams: 5.292.000     40,14 %
* Fonts:                 1.290.224     9,79 %
* Acrobat forms:      1.588.758    12,05 %
So I could save many many MegaBytes by -UnEmbedding- fonts. But if I do this (unembed ALL fonts), the file size stays almost the same!?!?!? Why? What can I do to reduce the file size? I would like it to be 8 MB if possible (32 MB - 24 MB = 8 MB)?
Thank you for your help!

If you have authored the form, reduce the number of different fonts for the content and form fields.
Any font used in a form field will cause that font to be embedded into the PDF.
If you are going to Optimize the PDF be very careful with forms. Optimization does a lot of removal of items and rearranging of items which can really mess up forms.

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

Has the file size of maintenanceservice_installer.exe changed above 157,698 bytes (security sw complains)?
