How do I convert img file to VDI

I have downloaded a disk image of Google's Chromium OS (from developer Hexxeh made available at http://download-chromiumos.appspot.com/ I have the 64 bit version) both the files here are downloaded as .img files and Mac OS X says it cannot mount these files I get a warning no mountable file systems. I really need a VDI though I read there is a way to convert an img file in the Terminal to VDI (this is from 2009 though)  you enter
VBoxManage convertfromraw -format VDI   [filename with extension] [chromiumos]. [filename]vdi it says converting from raw image file but then immediately gives this error:
VBoxManage: error: Cannot open file "[chromiumos_image]": VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
Anyone know how I can get this to work or where I can find a working VDI to download that is recent. I have Hexxeh's earlier Chrome OS build 4028 on his site chromeos.hexxeh.net working but it is from April of last year. Any ideas how to get this to work or where to find a working file. I have tried Arnoldthebat's VDI images from November-December 2013 and even newer but they don't work. I'm told since October 13, 2013 future builds of his don't work in VirtualBox. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any older builds available for download to his site. I can only get the November-December 2013 builds or  newer 2014 builds.
FYI: My MacBook Pro is now on OS 10.9.2 Mavericks.

Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing video with iTunes and iPod
You can try placing the movie in the Move library of iTunes and selecting it and going to the Advanced tab of iTunes and selecting Create Ipod and iPhone version.
If tha does not work yu will need to use a conversion program like the free Handbrake program. Just Google for it.

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.

  • How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    Hi Plissey1950,
    Sorry for the lengthy delay to a response.  Are you trying to convert multiple files to individual PDF files at the same time? (not combine them).  If so, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat for this function. The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to convert multiple files to multiple individual PDF files.
    Thanks,
    David

    how can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?

    Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
    The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert.  If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here.  Google.

  • How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
    Available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.

  • How do I convert a file located in my e-mail from PDF to Word.  I can't seem to save it in my word files.

    How do I convert a file located in my e-mail (that is secured) from PDF to Word.  I can't seem to save the PDF file anywhere.

    Hi williamf,
    For starters, please try triple-clicking in the Word document where you want to edit the text (sometimes, that's what it takes to select text in Word). If that doesn't work, I'd be interested in hearing more about the PDF file that you converted and the method that you used to convert it. For example, how was the PDF created (and by what app)? Did you convert via Adobe Reader (what version) or via the ExportPDF website?
    If you can tell us more about the file, we should be able to get to the bottom of things.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How do I convert a file to a word document

    How do I convert a file in pages to a word document so I can attach it to an email?

    This is pretty infuriating. There is NO way to SAVE AS a Word document. You can only export it to Word. I'm getting increasingly irritated by people saying 'That's the same as a Save'. No it's not!
    At home I have a Mac, but at work we use PCs. I don't have Word on my Mac (or Pages on PC, obviously). When preparng documents at home, the ability to Save AS a Word document has been crucial. Now that has been removed. I am being forced to shell out for Word. Once I have Word (a far better application than Pages, IMO) I will simply cease to use Pages.
    Why would Apple want to force dual-platform users to purchase one of their rivals products? Especially when this would mean less people using Pages as a result? Baffling, yet somehow not surprising...

  • How do I convert a file into inx with cs5.5?

    Hello,
    How do I convert a file in indesign cs5.5 into the interchange format?
    Thanks for your answers

    A complete review can be found here, but basically, you can't. CS4 was the last version that was able to generate INX - the format was replaced with IDML. You must export IDML with CS5.5, open that IDML in CS4, then export INX from CS4.
    Why do you need INX? If it's for someone with CS3, then that person may not get a useable file, if any features introduced after CS3 were used in the CS5.5 document.

  • How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

    As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
    What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF  to Word export.
    There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.

  • How do i convert 3gp file to windows file?

    how can i convert 3gp files from my iphone,to windows format with quicktime pro??? thanks.

    If by "windows format" you mean Windows Media Audio, aka WMA, QuickTime Pro cannot convert to any Windows Media format, so you'll need to look for other conversion software.

  • How do I convert à PDF file into my dairy?

    How do I convert à PDF file into my dairy?

    If I understand whatnyounare asking (and not sure I do), you may have a difficult time accomplishing that. Calendar app doesn't store documents and I don 't know of an app that will extract text from a PDF and place it in a calendar entry automatically. Check the app store - I could be wrong - but you will have to handle that manually.
    Many apps that read PDF will allow you to copy text, including GoodReader mentioned above.
