It does! Why not try it after you add your text?

How do I view .gif files?

I used to be able to view .gif files just fine on my ipad 3, but now whenever I try to view one, it asks me which program I want to open the file with (Evernote, Dropbox, or GroupMe). Anyone know how to fix this? They used to just automatically load in safari. I'd like to get this functionality back. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Right but safari used to open them automatically. What could have changed that safari doesnt automatically open them anymore? this is actually annoying while i am surfing the web. for instance, i just tried to pay one of my bills at a site i always used to be able to access from my ipad. one of the elements of the website has a gif file, and so i am unable to pay bills there anymore because the gif doesnt Auto load like it used to in safari.
is there a setting that could be causing this?

How do you view raw files on an iMac G5?!

Hello there,
I just recently received my first computer for 30 bucks. It's my first experience getting used to a home computer. I extracted some some rar files with "Unrar" but now I have these raw files, which won't view because I don't have the equipment it seems. I suppose "raw" means a type of photo file? Anyways I can't view these files until I get some kind of raw viewer. I've tried a handful of raw viewers but none of them really work. Most look like these funny documents that have no setup and I tried "fastrawviewr" which keeps saying archiving when I click it... Whatever archive means.. I also have this icon when I first got my iMac G5 name Macintosh hd, which was constantly trying to archive fastrawviewer. I have been stuck for 3 days now puzzled on how to view these raw files. Id appreciate some assistance, I can't continue with my project until I figure out how to view these raw files.

Not sure if you could use a good software editor to convert or manipulate such
large files in an older Mac. Usually RAW files take considerable space, use a
ton of system resources, and require extra storage, memory RAM + larger CPU...
And graphic processor with its own video RAM.
•How to identify iMac models - Apple Support
So with an old computer that may or may not be viable in its own limitation, you
may have some time of it, to make use of it as you seek to do a project w/o much
idea of what software still may exist.
If you have a device that creates RAM image files, see if there is a way for it to
make both jpeg and RAW or less huge files. Or only use the jpeg files and save
the larger RAW files for some other time when you get a later model computer.
•Graphic Converter - Lemke software:
http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/download/
see Graphic Converter version 6 or version 7
There is a software by the name Graphic Converter available (may run in demo)
that is a shareware. Note on their download page options and versions, the one
you'd need for use with the old PowerPC based Mac would be of a vintage that
may or may not be available. Their page should have an indication. While I had
an old version of Graphic Converter for Mac, for a Tiger 10.4.11 system, I didn't
use it much. Instead I used a combination of ToyViewer for Mac and the native
Preview application to edit images. Graphic Converter has other capabilities.
Not sure about the viability of or availability of the named software listed here:
http://www.pure-mac.com/graphics.html as most titles and their home pages
may not be available or could have survived but only for Intel-based late Macs.
Some cameras came with software. Nikon offered a trial run of something they
later sold, but that was limited in how it could work; later versions of the software
won't run on older OS X systems. And huge files require extra system resources.
Depending on the build model series Mac you may be able edit some images OK.
So what are the system specifications and available resources, by the numbers?
You could look into everymac.com and/or get mactracker.ca database to compare
your old iMac G5 specs to see what one you have. Also, you could go to a site &
use it to see specs https://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
For certain software to run, the computer may need some kinds of hardware upgrade.
Or some of the tasks could be well beyond the current status of the device.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

How do i view gif files on my computer?

Not sure how to see gif files stored on my mac?

Just drag the gif onto the safari or firefox icon on your dock.

How do you view .wmp files in QuickTIme on an iMac?

I have an iMac G5 and I need to view some windows media player files. I can't seem to convert them to a format that is viewable on my mac. Anyone know how to do this?

The 10 dollar plugin from this place should play many of them in QT. Be aware that there are some wmv files that even that plugin can't play, particularly if they utilize the Microsoft Dignital Rights Management (DRM).

How Do You View PHP Files on Your Own Computer?

Hi everyone, I am working with PHP galleries, but have to upload the file to my website every time I want to look at it. This is very annoying if you want to view the images on your own computer! What is the best way of viewing and testing the files on your own computer?
If it matters I am using a Mac and have Safari and Firefox. I googled this and the results were very confusing! Thanks for your help.

Not sure if Mavericks is worth the effort of downloading and I prefer mountain lion. How do you make a file in Finder.

I am not sure if Mavericks is much better than Mountain Lion as an OS. The maps part was okay but I could not view the map as shown on the apple website, there was no 3D. How do you create a file in Finder on the MacBook Pro.?

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID IT! I cannot believe it!
I changed "Move To Trash" to "Move to Trash" and selected a file. I had lost all hope, so I took a minute to prepare myself for yet another moment of deep frustration. Then I pressed F10, and bang! the file was trashed!!! It took me a couple minutes to actually believe what just happened. Thank you so much! If I could, I would "like" you as many times as I can physically hit the "Liked" button!
PS: what the heck is wrong with Apple though??? Wrong instructions, incorrect help instructions on their own site. The chances of figuring this out before having a nervous breakdown were like one in a million (approximately, I did not actually do the math). Last week, the keyboard and the trackpad stopped responding on my brand new macbook pro for a couple hours. I was not the only one with this problem. Apparently, this was from a design flaw, which means it could happen again at any time. iMovie doesn't work. TextEdit keeps crashing all the time. Emptying the trash can take hours.
Since 2000, I bought a PMac G4 Quicksilver, a used PMac G3 Blue, a used iBook G4, a used Pismo PBook G3, a used Graphite iMac G4, a used iMac G3 (green, 233MHz I think) and I already had more problems with this brand new macbook pro than will all the other macs combined... For such an expensive machine, with 16GB of RAM, that's a little dissapointing, especially from Apple. Maybe I'm just not lucky.
Anyways, thanks again! Best moment of 2014!

Hi Helen,
You could read about that in the documentation which is available online.

Good luck. :)

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files and videos since Apple and Adobe don't play together? Also, what operating system does the iPhone use? I'm a Windows person.

You may want to download and read the manual for your phone. It may answer a lot of the basic questions.

There is an app on your phone called "Mail". Yes, it's for reading your email.
Best of luck.
