How do I make the file extension (ie: .tif, .jpg, .eps) in OS 9.2 visible?

I'm trying to transfer files from an old G3 (OS 9.2) to a new G5 (OS 10.5.8). Most files do not show the extension in their name. For example, an Illustrator eps has the file name "layout_final". When I transfer it to the new machine, it recognizes it as an .EXE file and cannot open. If I type in the .eps file extension, where is now reads "layout_final.eps", it then opens in Illustrator. I don't want to have to resort to manually adding in the file extension to every file. Is there a way in OS 9.2 to automatically show/turn on the extension in the file name?
Thanks for the help!

How are you transferring the files ?
It sounds like you're going through some sort of Windows / DOS formatted media.
If you can network the two Macs together instead, do so.
If you can burn a CD or two on the Mac G3, do so.
If you have to use a USB stick, format it to Mac HFS Extended (aka HFS+) on either and use that.
The key is that if you transfer the files using something formatted for Mac, the file metadata should not be lost, and the files will appear on the G5 as expected, assuming that you have suitable apps to open the files in OSX 10.5

How do i select the file extension type?

using imovie '11.
i've finalised a project and exported it. it automatically saved as a .m4v (itunes) file.
my question is:
is there any way to manually select the file extension when saving/finalising a project?
for example, i might be required to save a project as a .mov file.
thanks in advance.

Publish the movie on itunes then, drag the movie on your desktop. After right click on the movie icon and click get info. Go to name and extension and change the .m4v to .mov . This should work because, it works if you want to change from .mp4 to .3gp etc... This saves you time because you don't have to use a movie converter.
Best of luck Jono

How do I specify the file extensions when opening a file in Labview?

When opening a file, the file open dialogue box appears with a drop down box called 'Files of type *.*
I want to only display files of type IPC, and I will create all my files to have this extension.
I have been using this technique in VB for some time, but I cannot find a method of doing this in Labview so far, can anyone help?

Use the function "File Dialog" and wire your type to "pattern label".
Hope this helps.

Urgent! How do I make the file smaller?

I created a minute animation and the motion file is 3 MB. I exported it as quick time movie and the file is 600 something MB! I want it to be less than 200 MB is it possible? Please help.

If you used Animation as the codec, try ProRes instead...

How to automatically make the file search pop up automatically list files alphabetically?

When I try to attach a file to an email a pop up window appears to search for a file. I have many files in My Documents but they all appear in some random order. I can right click and sort by name but I have to do this every time. I also tried going into File > Open File and the same thing, its in a random order.
When I open the folder through Windows everything is in alphabetical order and I've also tried opening several programs like Word, IE, Chrome and when I search for a file everything is in alphabetical order. Only Firefox does this.

I got a reply from another forum, which says:
Use event/listener pattern in Java.
interface xxEventListener{
public void searchFinished();
SearchProgressDialog extends JDialog implements xxEventListener {
public void searchFinished() {
dispose();
add "fireEvent()" and "addxxEventListener(..)" to SwingWorker class
when search finished, fireEvent to all registered listener.
You may need a new class xxEvent, depending on whether you want add infomation
to the event, such as "succ" or "fail".

How can I make the file download expire like in SendNow?

In Send Now, you can set up an expiration period for the document so that it is not just hanging out there. I do not see it on Adobe Now. Is this function still available?

Hi,
That feature is not available yet.

How do I increase the file size of a photo?

I have an iMac with Mavericks installed and took a photo with my iPhone 5 that I would like to increase to a 2 MB JPEG file size. How do I do this?

Export with higher quality (file menu ==> export - see the use tip on exportign for details on options)
However this will not change anything about the photo except the amound of disk sopace it uses - the photo is stil exactly the same no matter how large you make the file by reducing compression

Or put the file name as Copyright in Metadata and add Watermark (Simple Copyright) on Export!
A plugin called LR/Transporter could probably automate that. However, I don't think many people will want to do this once all usages of the image are considered!
So an export plugin called LR/Mogrify (which calls in the utility ImageMagick as an output processor) would be the next suggestion. This should let you put more or less whatever image parameter you want, onto the image as an automated label - also add borders outside or inside the image boundary, place the thumbnail inside a larger square canvas, a few other options. Then that can all be saved as a LR export preset for greater convenience and repeatability in the future.

How can I compress the file?

I've created a video that starts off with 20 layers and ends with 100, so the video starts moving at a decent speed in the beginning then slows down tremendously from the middle to the end. How can I make the video run at a steady speed? Also how can I make the file size smaller without ruining the quality and changing the image size?

Alright, there are several things to consider here.
1. Motion Tweens are expensive, when it comes to speed. Especially when you layer them on top of each other. So, if you have 100 layers of motion tweens, the player will tend towards slowing down.
If you are using Classic Tweens in CS4, or using a prior IDE, then check for broken, or unnecesasry tweens (tweens where there is no motion happening). Removing these will inevitably speed up the playback. Also, if there are layers that are continued but invisible, drop a blank keyframe at the end of their visible time. Less objects = faster playback.
If this isn't enough, and it many times isn't, consider exporting the whole thing out as a video or image sequence, and importing that into a new project for playback.
As for file size. You can change the JPG compression in the publish settings for the project. I've found that, unless using a lot of raster graphics, you can make this quite low without too much quality loss. Otherwise, my other suggestion can help with this too (exporting it out and reimporting for playback)

I think it's QuickTime player causing the problem, when I try to open it I get the windows error that an error has occured
Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

When trying to save a file under Excel 2008, ver 12.3.3, with extension .xlsx or .xlx, I am told it can't be saved because it is "read only." How do I change the file from read only?

When I try to save a file using Excel 2008, ver 12.3.3, with extension either .xlsx or .xls, I get a message saying it cannot be saved because it is "read only." How do I change it from read only? (And how did it ever get to be read only?)

Save the file as a new name. Close and Open the new file.
Most likely when a file transfer happens, Office makes the file 'Read Only'.
If you have two opened files with the same name, the last opened file will be 'Read Only'.

How do I add a movie from my laptop to iTunes, what should be the file extension.

The extension is usually .mov, .m4v, or .mp4. But you can't just change the extension. The movies have to be encoded in a particular fomat. Anything downloaded from iTunes or plays in Quicktime player will be fine.
