Having troubles with work files I mailed home...

Hello,
Twice I mailed myself a couple of files to work on at home and twice I was given errors. The first time, I mailed a lightwave model and a Lightwave Scene home, and both were corrupted. When I tried to open them in Lightwave, they tell me there was an error reading the file.
I thought maybe something got garbled in the transition, so I zipped the folder and sent it home that way. I now get an error when trying to unzip the file - 'Error-1, Operation not permitted' is what I get.
As far as I can tell, it's not a permissions problem. I downloaded stiffut expander, and it won't help either.
I'm running 10.4.8 on both machines and have never had this problem before. I recently wiped and reinstalled my work machine, but I still have everything up to date.
The work machine is DC 2.3 and home is below... and FWIW, I have rechecked the files at work and they are just fine.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
-Vincent

Vincent, I am not sure that this is the answer you want, but I have found that some programs will create an obscure format that many mail services can not read. and they will simply change the format before they forward it on because they do not recognise the file type or the format in which it was created.
I have one paricular program that falls in this category.
It will automaticly convert this file to a data file, and of course it is not a data file at all but an image file that has one of these obscure formats I mentioned above.
The only way I have found a work around is to use a web based e-mail account and retrieve the file from there server rather then your e-mail program.
I have and use pop server at home and use Yahoo mail when I run into this issue, So far it has worked, you might give it a try.

  • Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

    Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy 

    You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

  • I am having trouble with attaching files in my gmail

    After downloading the most recent version of Firefox I began having trouble attaching files in my gmail. I am now unable to attach files and get getting the same attachment failed message.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here (this will log you out)
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Some sites use a Flash-based uploader. Have you noticed any other issues with Flash (audio/video issues)? There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

  • Having trouble with the File and Folder Objects (PSCS3 javascript on Win)

    I'm having trouble successfully creating a new folder on my windows platform, using javascripts in photoshop. In ExtendScript Toolkit 2, set to Adobe Photoshop CS3, I've tried:
    var myFolder = new Folder("/c/Documents and Settings/vcastelo/My Documents");
    myFolder.create();
    and
    var myFolder = new Folder("/c/Documents and Settings/vcastelo/My Documents");
    is this right? what am I doing wrong? It's pretty basic stuff, I know but I can't figure is out... any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yep.

    > myFolder.create();
    The "/c/Documents and Settings/vcastelo/My Documents/data" form works, too, and
    should be preferred.
    Here's an extreme example as to why this is a good idea:
    I work in an XP/cygwin environment, so I added links to all of my drives in my
    root cygwin folder. As a result, the path /p/Pictures/2008-05-05 is the same on
    the bash command line (and other tools) as it is in PSJS. I carried this over to
    my Mac, as well. I mount P: drive in OSX then setup links so that
    /p/Pictures/2008-05-05 is also the same on the Mac. This has vastly simplified
    my work. The only time I use system-specific pathnames is in a script's UI.

  • Im having trouble with responding on e-mail reply forward dont work

    the reply button or forward button do not work on fire fox. my drop down window under my favorites is blocked often showing a highlighted window that is blank inside.

    Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
    Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
    Also, you should begin to prepare to upgrade to Firefox 11. Firefox 3.6 will be dropped from support in a few weeks, which means it will no longer be receiving security or stability updates. Firefox 11 is up to 7 times faster than 3.6, has lots of new features and improvements, as well as support for new web standards.

  • I am having trouble with rules in mac mail. The first rule window shows but i cannot open a second filter rule!!

    Hi
    I am trying to create rules that would copy the incoming email to a cloud folder ( depending on sender ) and move the actual email from the inbox to a local folder on my laptop.
    The problem i seem to be having is the first rule ( regardless of whether it is copy or move ) shows ok but when i press the + button it does not bring up a new filter window as it used to.
    Totally confused on this one, can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Oh, latest versions of everything!!!!

    I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
    Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
    If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
    In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
    Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

  • Having trouble with relocating files on w/ iTunes.

    i am having some problems with my iTunes. i had recently transferred my music from a Mac to a PC, i'm pretty sure i did it the correct way...i just copied my my iTunes Music folder contents and placed them in my iTunes Music folder on my PC. I have a little under 1,000 songs and now for some reason like at least 100 of them wont sync..and i still don't know why it wont sync. But now i did something which i don't think helped..i was clueless so i changed the destination folder to an identical folder w/ the same music, but then changed it back to the iTunes Music folder and now iTunes can't locate any of my songs, but i easily can but i don't want to have to relocate them one by one because i have a little under 1,000 songs...so i's like to know if there was anyway i can locate numerous files at once on iTunes rather tehn just going and relocating each one individually?

  • I am having trouble with pdf files  continuously get damaged file message when try to open downloaded pdf with adobe reader

    Cannot open downloaded pdf's with adobe reader. Have latest version of adobe program  continuously get damaged file message.  Anybody else having this problem?   Using imac with osx10.7.1 (latest lion)

    I am having the exact same problem. This is very disturbing.
    Lately I have been deluged with adobe update dialogues. I don't know whether this is real or some kind of bugus malware phenomenon.
    Imagine my surprise when I looked here in the forum and I am not alone.
    Kaufmann's remark that we shouldn't be using adobe reader doesn't explain why it is malfunctioning like this. I have been using the reader on Mac  OS for years, and I don't get what's happening now.
    Does anyone realy know what is going on?

  • I am having trouble with pic files...

    My 2010 pictures are on an external hard drive and when I try to open them on my iMac...there is an icon of the iPhoto  preview and the file number but says it is empty when I try to open it...
    I have no idea what I have done! its like a years worth of pictures...
    the other weird thing is that there are thumbs (I thought I could delete them when I brought my files from my pc to my iMac).
    I don't use the iPhoto for my pictures...don't think that would matter...I use Lightroom for organizing.
    I am a bit freaked out so I may not be communicating well...I am going to take a screen shots..
    If anyone knows what I can do about this...I would appreciate it very much...

    LabVIEW has a sound and vibration toolkit.  Do you have that?  Do you have LabVIEW?
    The forum is made up of volunteers who will help others with their LabVIEW problems.  But you need to have a specific problem and ask clear questions.
    What you are asking for is very unclear.  Why do you even want to do a "thorough analysis of the audio"?  No one is going to do your project for you.

  • Having trouble with wav files

    We convert voicemails to wav and push them to each persons Exchange account. All iPhone users can listen to the wav file with the exception of one person. When they click on the wav file nothing happens. They are using a 3Gs. Any thoughts on what to look for?

    I too can't get wav files from my exchange server to download to my 3GS but I used to Be able to. I also cannot download them to my iPad either. I am assuming then that this must be something with my server but I don't think anything changed on it. Any thoughts?

  • I am having trouble with our Comcast e-mails. Going thtough the internet oprion they are fine, but not through your website.

    When using your website to access Comcast and our e-mails the e-mails are disorganized and words above them are out of line. If I access Comcast through internet explorer the inbox and e-mails are normal. I have re-booted the computer countless times and reset the modem to no avail. It appears that the issue is with Firefox.
