Help mem please - adding metadata to iweb files changed to RTFD

Hi guys - can you help me please.
I've just followed some of the threads to try and add metadata and keywords to my site.
I thought I'd cracked it. I opened the .html in Finer/idisk/web/sites/iweb/my site name.co.uk/page.html I wanted to add data to. I opend it with text edit, got a blank page but typed in the code I wanted. saved, closed and now it has changed to an RTFD file. What have I done or is this right.
Can anyone reassure me or explain what I have done wrong........ I've republished the original page but it hasn't changed back to .html and the rftd still remains there.
Thank-you so much from someone who is learning alot from these forums......(but not always getting it quite right yet.....)
Maxine

Hi Tom,
Thanks for this - I'd overlooked the preferences. Can I ask you what the best thing is to do now - should I delete the site on idisk and republish so that I can re do the page that is now an RTFD correctly or should I be able to change it back to an .html file.
Really appreciate your help,
Maxine

  • Adding Metadata to mp4 files to load as "TV Shows"

    I am looking for some help in adding metadata to mp4/m4v files so that they autoload as "TV SHOWS" when imported into iTunes. I have several files so it would be helpful if anyone knows of a way to do batches of files.
    Thanks to the Mac world out there for anyone's help.

    You can set a whole batch of files to "TV Show," but bring them into iTunes first. This is as easy to selecting the batch and running any kind of plug-in on them.
    Videos all go to the Movies category by default, but that's only temporary. Right after you drop them into your library, find them under Recently Added or Movies. Select them all, and press Ctrl-I to Get Info. Change the video kind to "TV Show." Now all of these files will appear in the TV library, but of course you'll have to fill in the series name and season. Those can also be filled in as a batch.

  • Adding metadata to .mp4 files or .flv files

    I just recently discovered that I cannot tag .mp4 files or.flv files with metadata in bridge? Anyone know of a workaround to add metadata to these files within bridge besides using Quicktime?
    Thanks

    .....Seriously??.....
    Nothing- Oh well I guess I'm the only one with this issue.
    Anyways if anyone cares to know- the workaround to this issue is this:
    (well it's really not a workaround as much as an upgrade)
    When checking out the upgrade trial to my CS4 Suite I found that Premiere Pro CS4 can export to h.264 video as .f4v and these files can be tagged with metadata within bridge just like .jpg's- Nice. Only problem is the preview of these .f4v files do not fit the preview window- very odd- I have to use the filmstrip view to view these videos otherwise they get cut off by the normal preview window
    Oh well that's a minor gripe at least I can tag these with metadata
    Maybe this helps someone because I know it drove me mad trying to figure this whole thing out recently

  • Adding metadata to Targa files

    I'm trying to add custom data to a .tga file. This doesn't need to be standard EXIF information - this is custom data that I would read with a custom tool. Currently all I'm trying to add is a file path.
    Usually, I would just add this using File Info, but with Targa files, information I add using File Info is not saved to the file (which is a bug in my opinion - I'll go look for a place to report that after I post this).
    I haven't messed with the Advanced section of File Info much. The only thing I know how to do with that is to create .XMP sidecar files. Maybe I'm missing something there.
    As far as I can tell, the Targa file format supports a 256-byte "Image Identification Field" as well as unlimited user data at the end of the file, so it should be possible to add any data I want to a Targa with the right tool.
    Does anyone know a plugin or technique that will allow me to add metadata to my targas?
    I'm using CS2, although we have several versions here at work so I'd be happy to learn of a way to do it in CS3 too.

    You can set a whole batch of files to "TV Show," but bring them into iTunes first. This is as easy to selecting the batch and running any kind of plug-in on them.
    Videos all go to the Movies category by default, but that's only temporary. Right after you drop them into your library, find them under Recently Added or Movies.

  • Bridge CS5 - Adding metadata to RAW files is hit and miss

    Can someone help me??? Bridge CS5 will only add the metadata I enter to the files it feels like doing. It is hit and miss. Some files will add it, and other files will get the message "There was an error writing metadata to 100824_Banks_06.NEF". It will go through my whole folder of RAW files, then other times it will allow one or two of the files to get the information. I am going crazy! Is this a preference setting issue, or what?

    Bridge is the weakest of all Adobe applications I use.  It suffers from the same issues since its first release, when we were told to forgive the teething problems of any version 1 application.  Now it's in version 4.x.
    I actually spent most of the last two days wrestling with Bridge, and getty pretty annoyed with it. The "Error writing metadata" bug caused me no end of problems in trying to reorganise my keywording of 20,000 photos, and turning the air blue in the process.
    I agree that Bridge seems to be the poor relation in the Creative Suite. I call it the Less Glamourous Sister. It needs to be 64-bit to host 64-bit Camera Raw, and it needs to manage resources faster and more efficiently.
    I've spent a fair amount of time watching Bridge's activity with a resources monitor utility, and it's a very busy lady. It seems to poll several drives every second or two, accessing the registry, disk-based settings and library files regularly too, even when it appears to be doing nothing. And, even though I had indexed and cached my whole 20,000 photo collection, Bridge insists on recreating some thumbnails and previews at random intervals.*
    I decided that the anti-virus software suggestion was a red herring in my case (I now realise this is the Mac forum anyway). Photos which gave an error became subsequently locked for several minutes, and I had to edit the sidecar files by hand. In the end, I worked out that, even though there is no on-screen indication of activity, Bridge is quietly working its way through every item in the Content pane, and it is this action which seems to coincide with the Metadata Error. Wait for it to end, and chances are much reduced, but not fully removed.
    Oh, and Adobe's customer treatment might be debatable, but that helpful customer you quoted was a regular abuser of other forum users, so I like to see a silver lining from that post.

  • Adding metadata to .m1v files in Bridge CS3

    I have video files (no audio) .m1v files that I need to tag with Metadata in bridge. One problem when I try to do this in Bridge CS3 version 2.1.1.9- I get an error message saying
    "The file "filename.m1v" cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur"
    Does anyone know of a workaround to this problem
    2 solutions I have already considered are to
    1. rename the files to .mpg, but there are many files and I do not want to corrupt any of them
    2. Don't export to .m1v files- instead use .mpg ALWAYS- (export silent audio track)
    So anyone? any other ideas of what can be done
    Thanks
    Tony

    Thanks again Jim
    This was not the answer I wanted to hear. So I contacted Adobe directly- They are very quick- they responded within 24 hours via email of course and reiterated what you said- I guess I just needed "official" word from Adobe, before I went to plan B
    Anyways If anyone ever has problems like this where you got a bunch of .m1v files and you need to tag them with metadata- I suggest to do what I am doing and download tmpegenc it is a great little piece of software that will convert your .m1v files to .mpg files that you can now tag within bridge, Beauty
    I will NEVER export to .m1v AGAIN
    Thanks TMPEG
    Thanks Jim and Thanks Adobe
    Best Wishes

  • Adding metadata to wave files on export

    I capture audio within Logic and export the track as a wave file. How do I add metadata such as Title, Author Etc to the wave file? In addition how can I add cover art?

    Wave files do not have much support for metadata, only a simple header is contained in the file. Try using AIFF if you're looking to preserve the original sound quality. AIFF have good support for the metadata types you mention.

  • IWeb File Changes

    Since I upgraded to iWeb 1.0.1, I now have in my "Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/" directory, 3 files:
    0Domain.sites
    1Domain.sites
    Domain.sites
    Can I just delete the 2 oldest versions?
    Thanks -

    Presumably you only want one of them. Move out the two oldest ones without deleting them and see if what is left is the site data that you want to keep.

  • Movies in .flv . QuickPlayer can't read this. Can you help me, please.

    QuickPlayer can't read this. Can you help me, please.

    Quicktime cannot read Flash files. For that you need Flash Player from Adobe.
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player if you have it, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • PLEASE HELP!! I've used iWeb to create multiple sites, all published to third party servers.  The very last site I made changes to is showing up in any domain file I open - despite their different names and locations on my iMac.  I just switched to Lion.

    Please HELP!!  I just switched to Lion.  I have created multiple websites using iWeb  3.0.4 and despite my having saved their 'domain' files in various locations and using different filenames, upon opening the domain files I keep getting the very last site I published.  All the sites were published to third party servers.  The domain files (still have a preview that look correct and have different file sizes) but keep going back to the last site published. HELP ME PLEASE!! Are the old files still available?!!

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

    Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

    I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
    Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
    Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

  • Help! Can't access iWeb files

    I downloaded iWeb Enhancer this morning and tried to install it. It crashed my Mac and when I rebooted and tried to open the iWeb file I was almost finsihed with, I got a message saying that the domain was invalid beacuse it coudn't find the index xml file. I am new to the program and I had just finished an 10 page website that was saved and published to my .Mac account but now I can't work on it to make changes. I am on a deadline for a client. Please help. Thank you.
    G5, 2GHz Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2 Gb ram

    Spotlight 'Domain'. It should be in this path:
    Home folder Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain
    This is where iWeb puts your site data. If you double-click on this file and iWeb for some reason won't open it, then your site is probably lost.
