I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded": 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
You may need to add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

How can a .mov be an "unsupported file type"?

I've saved a PowerPoint presentation as a .mov and it plays fine on its own (as a quicktime movie.) It also shows up as availabe file in my "movies" pane. However, when I try to drag it into a drop zone, I get the following error message: "Unsupported File Type: Unknown Format" but it's a .mov file!??
What's going on?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I'm going to answer my own question so others may benefit
After some serious thinking I did the following and it worked: I imported the .mov file (in this case a PowerPoint presentation) into iMovie where it became a simple clip, then saved that as a new .mov, and now it's suddenly recognizable to iDVD! Simple, huh? I bet it works with all kinds of "unsupported file types" as long as you can get them into iMovie...

File open error: unsupported file type Mpeg Streamclip

having a problem... I am using mpeg streamclip to convert vob files from a dvd. the problem is that the program says that the first vob file is an unsupported file type. I know that this is not true. The DVD plays, and the remaining vob files are opened and processed by the program correctly. Any advice or suggestions?

I am having the same problem. The first VOB file in the sequence will not open in either Streamclip or Quicktime. This is not the menu display image, but the first chunk of the video (the menu image actually will open). All the ones after it can be opened either individually or joined as a group.
The DVD plays fine on the mac and also in the regular DVD player. Any idea if this is perhaps some equipment fault when the DVD burner "finalizes" the disk? Am using a combo VHS/DVD-R unit. It is not super high-end, but then neither are these old home videos I'm converting.

DVD-MOV mpegstream clip error: "File open error: unsupported file type"

I do it all the time this is the only time i've gotten this error, i use mpeg stream clip. I have a dvd I got from a DVR recorder, I open the dvd which shows 2 VOB files in the TS folder. the MENU gives "Warning: the stream may have timecode breaks." I "Fix Now" and it works fine. But i dont want the menu. the other VOB file in the TS folder, which should be the "movie I want" gives this error when opened,
"File open error: unsupported file type"
when I open anyway, I get an audio bar which has no sound, and no video.
ANY IDEAS? I've been on this for hours PLEASE

Hi,
Do you have the [MPEG-2 component|http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2> installed on your computer? If not, you will need it to be able to convert VOB files.

Bookmarks back-up on flashdrive says "unsupported file type" when try to open

I followed the Help directions for backing up my bookmarks. But when I try to open the back-up file from a flashdrive, it says "unsupported file type." Also, when i save the back-up file to the desktop, it never gives me the option to choose that back-up file when I try to restore. Thanks!! :-)

Unsupported file type

I have a Droid Razr but I need some assistance. The phone has the Kindle App which I have no problem with so long as the book was directly from Amazon. The problem I have is that I get most of my books from other book sites and would love to be able to read read them on my phone. When I email the book to myself to download it to the phone, the attached book has the message "Unsupported file type" and I am not able to download the book at all.
Does anyone have any information about this and how I can get MOBI books loaded onto the phone? I have convertrd the format to PDF in Calibre and can download those and then I put them into the Kindle folder. I can then open them using the Kindle App. But in the Kindle app you don't have any of the options you would have if the book were bought from Amazon.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a way around this? Thanks much for any advice

I just think it's odd that if I get an email with a book attached, the
attachment shows Unsupported file type. And then you can't do a thing with it.
You don't even get an option of any kind. I think at this point I am going
to forget even trying to use Kindle on the phone. I don't want to have to
go to all the hassle of connecting it to the PC. The only time I would want
to use it on the phone would be if I was traveling and received a book, it
would be great to just be able to download it to the phone.

Incoming email says "Unsupported file type"

I keep getting emails which say "Unsupported file type" and will not display the actual message. How do I find out what I need to download to be able to read these emails?

Forgive me, but I'm not exactly tech savvy. When you ask for the email app, do you mean the provider - which is Cox? And the problem only happens on opening emails from one regular source.

Red Box - Unsupported File Type - Large Tiff - Large Scans - 10,000 pixels

Hello All,
I am a user of Aperture 2.1, and I have grown to love the program except for one major issue. Large files that are imported into the program are simply unsupported.
I scan 6x7 medium format negatives (8649x10712 @ 530.2 megs) and 4x5 negatives (very large drum scans) into my system (new 8 core, 12 gig ram, 512 meg vidcard, 10.5.2) and the issues begin. A thumbnail is properly built. Once the thumbnail is selected, and a preview is built, the image appears briefly and is replaced by a red box soon with the text "Unsupported File Type". If I change views to full screen all I see is a red box with the same text. Ie. I can't work the image.
The files are perfectly fine. I work them in photoshop cs3 no problem, and I can view them with quick look preview no problem.
This is highly frustrating as I work primarily in larger formats and create large prints!
It seems like the bug occurs in files that have a side larger than 10,000 pixels. This is a massive issue to large format/panoramic workflow!
I have called Apple tech support and the techs claim ignorance. That could mean they do not know of the issue which does not bode well for a solution. I'm in the dark. Please shed some light!
Three questions:
Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Is there a workaround that doesn't involve cutting file size?
Has there been any acknowledgment from Apple support regarding this issue?
I am most frustrated as Aperture is billed as a professional product, but it is unable to keep up with the demands of a working fine art photographer.
Awesome product but needs some adjustments!

William, thanks for your input, but I feel that your position avoids the primary issue. Aperture is a Digital Asset Manager, and as such, should be able to manage digital image assets.
From Aperture's Webpage: "See how Aperture lets you import, manage, and enhance your photos in one simple, integrated workflow." It says photos, not Raw photos. In fact, I'll take it one step further, in the tutorial CD that came with 1.5, the narrator mentions the 16-bit workflow in Aperture with Tiffs, more than once.
I purchased Aperture for management and integrated workflow. Apple states: "Now it’s even easier to cull through shoots, enhance images, manage massive libraries, and deliver stunning photos." No where does it say that the functionality of the program is limited to RAW files. Ie. Apple never mentions that Large .tif files are not supported.
I have 6x7 and 4x5 Scans, Masters, Working Images, Print files and Web images that I would like to organize, stack, label, rate, view versions simultaneously on my second screen, sort, arrange, and keyword. The program's basic functionality is thwarted by an issue that Apple has not owned up to.
If Apple had mentioned in its literature that large .tif's weren't supported I would not be posting this, as I would not have purchased the software. But nowhere, not in phone conversations with Apple Techs (3), not on their own Forums where other end users have hit a massive workflow brick wall, and not even after I mentioned to a One on One guru, has Apple said, oh, yeah, we are aware of it and working on it. There is no transparency here.
Now, I have purchased Aperture, learned it, and imported thousands of files into it. I like the program as I have seen it function with smaller files perfectly, but this large file issue needs to be overcome.
Regarding editing images, yes I use photoshop for the majority of my post-production. I then use a finely tuned Colorburst Rip on a nice Epson for my Fine Prints. Those are the functions of the respective programs. Aperture is a DAM, a program that among other things allows the end use to manage their files effectively and maintain a strong workflow.
Regarding space - esata is a beautiful thing.

"Unsupported file type" error Msg on received email - DX2

I get an "Unsupported file type" message instead of the intended msg on some of my emails. Just what does this mean and how do I fix it?

Hi JR39,
The error message outlined in your post indicates that your email message includes a file that is not compatible with any of the applications included in your phone. You may look for a compatible third party application that will allow you to read/access the files in question.
Please note that Verizon Wireless does not recommend/support any 3rd party applications and if you encounter any issues with a 3rd party application you will need to contact the application's developer for assistance.

Unable to restore bookmarks from XP to Windows 7 due to unsupported file type

Im having problems transferring my bookmarks from xp machine to a Windows 7 machine. I just verified that both machines are running Firefox v. 4.0.1. I was advised to save the bookmarks.html file on the xp machine and when I copied it to the Windows 7 machine. I received the error that it is an unsupported file type. Can someone advise on how I can get this done? Thanks in advance.

Unsupported file type (.mov)

I am using Adobe After Effects CS4 (9...)
I am trying to create Andrew Krammer's ,,crumble" effect (http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/procedural_crumble/)
If you skip at 23:44 you will see that he is adding an imported .mov file.
Everytime i try to import a .mov file, i get the following error: After Effects error: Can't import file "NAME.mov": unsupported file type or extension. ( 0::1 )
I think I have what I need: QuickTime 7.7.1 (it's the latest version I found, right from Apple's website)
(I don't know if this really helps:) When i click File>Export> QuickTime is disabled, not selectable. It says: QuickTime 7.4.1 or later required (even though i have 7.7.1)
I do not really want to convert the .mov into anything else because I saw that the .mov file (from Andrew Krammer's video) don't display the background, only the dust (in my case). Other video types DO display the black background. The files I try to import to AE work (they can be opened with QuickTime, no errors)

What is your OS? After Effects requires QuickTime. Is your AE up to date?

.jpg/.tiff/.png unsupported file types in iDVD 7.1.1 ?

Updated to iDVD 7.1.1 and am now unable to correctly open an old .dvdproj created in iDVD '06.
Worse still, iDVD tells me that there are themes missing (They are all there, including my own 'favorite' themes, in the user/library/application support/iDVD and ./library/application support/iDVD.)
So, I try to recreate my 'favorite' theme from an existing bundled theme 'Sliding Panes' (as I did in the iDVD '06) and I get:
"Unsupported File Type: Unknown format
/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD 5/0002SlidingPanes.theme/Contents/Resources/dropzonedefcontent.tif
In fact it's the same problem for any theme i try to use, including if I try to drop a .jpg image as a background...Always the same "Unsupported File Type" message...
So, I've reinstalled the iDVD updater to 7.1.1; dumped the com.apple.iDVD.plist; repaired permissions and still the same...
Where's the problem ?

I suggest you use this app / utility from apple's web site prior to reinstalling iDvd:

Good luck.

Unsupported File Type: Broken Reference

I am trying to add a movie to iDVD and it tells me "Unsupported File Type: Broken Reverence". I have recopied the movie to my files, but still receive this message. All the other clips that I made with iMovie HD have loaded fine. It is just this one. It is only 51 seconds long.

You can create two kinds of Quicktime movies: self-contained movies and reference movies.
Reference movies are very small files and are basically just a set of instructions with path references to the elements used in the movie. If you move, delete or rename ANY of the elements used in the reference movie, the file can not be opened and you will get a 'Broken Reference' error message.
Self-contained movies are an actual, rendered final movie.
It sounds like your problem movie is a reference movie and you have moved or deleted one or more of the elements used in making the movie.

Importing .mov "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format" error

I have a .avi video from a camera and wanted to burn to a dvd to watch on dvd player. I converted the video to .mov but when I dragged into iDVD I received an error stating "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format". I converted to a .mp4 hoping that might work and had the same error. As far as I remembered .mov and .mp4 should work in iDVD and iMovie but I had the same error in both programs.
Converted to .mov with iSquint, and to .mp4 with Quicktime.
Any suggestions?

hi,
thank you for responding... i followed your instructions and this is what comes up when i try to open the movie:
QuickTime Player can't open_______.mov
To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More.
i've done nothing different with this movie. it's the 2nd part of a longer project that i had to break into two parts. the first part was successfully burned to disk. i'm at a loss as to why this one is 'different' and why anything else might be required to make it work properly.
btw, here's the info from the entire project:
