How to change open file dialogue box date format

Hi - I can't find how to change the date format whenever I open any creative suite document - my system preferences are set to dd/mm/yy and every other application shows this date except for CS4 it shows mm/dd/yy. Can anyone help please. Much appreciated.

Hi, I'm having the same problem with the date format - all Creative Suite 'open' menu items are showing US format mm/dd/yyyy rather than UK format dd/mm/yyyy... although everything else on my system is set for UK format and all other programs open properly. The strange thing is: I'm sure this has only just happened after years of using Creative Suite... I'm sure I would have noticed it before. I'm on CS3 so haven't had any recent updates that might have affected it.

    Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
    I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
    How did you transfer the song?
    To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see:  Share GarageBand songs

  • "could not be handled because Pages cannot open files in the "data" format."

    I cannot open some files from at least two different friends.   the message that I get is "could not be handled because Pages cannot open files in the “data” format.”. 
    I have OSX 10.9.2
    I have the latest version of Pages 5.2
    Any help is appreciated. I'd like to be able to open files. Thank you.

    Could your friend possibly be using a Mac running OS 9?
    Or one of the early versions of OSX?
    They are the only Systems I know of that don't have file extensions on the files, because they used data forks in the file, something Apple eventually abandoned, in the interests of compatiblity with Windows and UNIX generally.
    I had a look AmigaOS also had a form of file and resource separation, in which the main file does not have an extension.

  • How to get Open/Save Dialogue box

    Hi,
    I need to get open/save dialogue box while downloading a file (from JSP).
    One way which I am currently using is on click of the button pass control to servlet and in servlet using the following code:
    /**.....Some Code */
    response.setContentType("application/csv");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
    /**.....Some Code */But I am wondering is there any way I can do the same without passing the control to Servlet? On clicking the button in JSP, is there is any possibilty to get the Open/Save dialogue box directly.
    Thanks
    Arun

    without passing the control to Servlet?Why?
    In HTTP you can send the response only once.The application where i have this requirement is an old one. In the application, I have there are some screens, whose control never goes to Servlet.
    TO be more precise, 2 pages one HTML and another JSP. And the file to be downloaded is created when JSP is called from HTML page. And there is no interaction with Servlet. The JSP inturn calls a method in Java file (which is not a Servlet) and gets all the details including the file to be downloaded.
    I have used window.open() to download the file(in JSP) in order to have Open/Save dialogue box.
    But the approach is working fine in Windows XP systems but not in Windows2000. In Win00 machines it is directly opening the file in popup without giving the user any option for Open/Save.
    Please let me know your suggestion on this.
    Thanks

  • Photoshop Action Question How to Avoid Replace Files Dialogue Box

    I have Photoshop CS3 running on a Macintosh. This Photoshop action on this Mac opens PDFs and saves them as a JPEG to a folder on a server.
    Sometimes the originating file will be modfied, so a new PDF will be created and have to go through the action again. The intent is for the action to overwrite the preexisting JPEG file(s) on the server, because they are out of date and must be replaced.
    The photoshop action on the Mac converts the new PDF to a JPEG, but then stops and shows a "Replace Files" dialgue box, which displays a listing of the name(s) of the JPEG(s) that will be overwritten. The dialogue box reads "Some of the specified files already exist in the target location. The files marked will be replaced." Below that message are two buttons to choose from, "Cancel" and "Replace". I always click "Replace"
    Is there a way to get the the action, (which specifically reads, "With Save Image Files" on the part of the action where it saves the jpg),  to just go ahead and overwrite the existing JPEG file(s) on the server without presenting the dialogue box?

    I can’t test on CS3, but I think the affected features should not have changes since CS3.
    Anyway, I think an Action cannot perform what you want, a Script should be able to, though.
    You could adapt the following code by changing the variable docPath to the correct path of the Folder you want to save the jpgs into.
    If you want to give it a try, paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop’s installation, Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/ExtendScript Toolkit CS3, I guess) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
    After restarting Photoshop the Script should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action or started from ExtendScript Toolkit directly.
    // saves jpg into same folder;
    // be advised: this  overwrites existing jpgs of the same name without prompting.
    // 2010, use it at your own risk;
    #target photoshop;
    if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    var thedoc = app.activeDocument;
    // getting the name and location;
    var docName = thedoc.name;
    if (docName.indexOf(".") != -1) {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}
    else {var basename = docName};
    // getting the location, if unsaved save to desktop;
    try {var docPath = thedoc.path}
    catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};
    // jpg options;
    var jpegOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
    jpegOptions.quality = 9;
    jpegOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
    jpegOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
    //save jpg as a copy:
    thedoc.saveAs((new File(docPath+"/"+basename+".jpg")),jpegOptions,true);
    //that’s it; thanks to xbytor;

  • Help - hide ineligible file types in open file dialogue box

    Hi all - I just got my first Mac, and and having considerable difficulty figuring out the following the problem. When you try to open a file from any application, you can select which files can be opened by the "enable" drop box - ineligible file types are then greyed out.
    Question: how can I make ineligible file types invisible (like on a PC)? Thanks in advance!
    NB. this might appear trivial to some people, but I work with lots of data and 1000s of files per folder, and have found myself spending at times 5-10 minutes looking for 1 file in 1 folder, just because I have to browse through so many ineligible file types.

    Is that seriously impossible? That sounds ridiculously incompetent on Apple's part. I will have no option but to go back to a PC, because this is too much of a drag on my productivity.
    PCs are fine. If they fit your requirements better than Leopard, do use them. But don't grep about it. It's a big tent. I regularly use my PCs for things that Macs cannot do. But I never consider anything "ridiculous" on anyone's part. Not every OS is well-suited to every task. Use the one that works best but do not call another OS "incompetent" simply because you think something is missing. I would say that properly vetting a new OS before moving to it is an "incompetent" move.
    Did you really use due diligence before getting a Mac? Didn't you check everything out beforehand?
    I did. I got exactly that which I expected.
    Do not blame someone else for things that they do not claim to have. Sometimes the blame lies elsewhere.

  • QuickTime Player cannot open files in the "data" format.

    The title above is an exact clip from error message rcvd when quicktime loads after clicking on a web hyperlink.  I enjoy the simplicity of a mac and don't like having to make things work smoothly myself.  
    The error as quoted doesn't show up when searching the quicktime section of this forum, so I'm contributing it for all the other users who experience the same show-stopper and will appreciate a solution that doesn't require too much more than just Apple>Software update, or some similar scenario.
    p.s. I saw some solution mentioning components out of date.  I have no idea, nor wish to know about these.  Hope I don't have to go there!

  • How can open File Dialoge Box in Oracle9i

    can any one tell me how can i open file dialoge box in oracle 9i i am using webutil but when i run this code.. there is an exception during runtime.. not compile time.. so plz tell me how can i open file dialoge box.. thx..
         declare
              file_name varchar2(100);
         begin
              file_name := client_get_file_name(FILE_FILTER=>'TEXT FILES (*.txt|*.txt|');
         end;

    Please do not post the same topic in multiple forums. The
    only thing I can suggest is when they click on the button to
    download, you take flash out of full screen while they download the
    video, you can use fileReference to control and monitor the
    download. Use a listener object to monitor when download is
    complete, then set flash back to full screen.
    How are you scripting the full screen?

  • Where's the drop-down with "Recent places" in "Open File" dialogue?

    Hi,
    Until Mountain Lion, all "Open file" dialogue boxes included at the top a drop-down list with higher-level locations as welll as "recent places" - folders that were recently used to open files.
    In apps such as Smultron, this is hugely efficient and I would say the vast majority of the file I open, I access via that drop-down.
    Now, in apps that support iCloud, the UI of the "Open file" dialogue has changed significantly - with that drop-down now completely missing!!!
    I am actually really really upset about this feature being removed. Is there ANY way to bring it back? I waste so much time now in opening files, it's ridiculous.
    Thanks,
    Biranit

    Wierdly the only way I have found to bring this essential piece of the open file dialog box back is to disable icloud "Docuemetns & Data". Then hey presto the view controls are back on the top and the drop-down returns.
    ...but you don't have icloud documents any more
    Sounds like a wierd omission in Mountain Lion if you ask me.  I use that drop-down all the time...

  • Open file dialogue hangs with extension panels

    Hi. I have PS CS5 64 bit running on a PC, Win 7.
    Everything has been working fine but I have recently installed two new extension panels - Fundy Image Brander and Tych Panel. When either of these scripts require you to input a file to open via the Open File dialogue box, everything hangs for 2-3 minutes. The mouse and keyboard do not lock and you can open up other windows which work fine. The open file dialogue just hangs (not just on selecting an individual image but selecting a drive or folder). If you call up the Task Manager and End Photoshop as a task a dialogue box pops up with the mesage "The system cannot end this program because it is waiting for a response from you."
    Photoshop otherwise works well. It's just when the extension panel requires you to input a file to open. Has anyone else encountered this problem or has any ideas?

    Hi. Both are extension panels. Fundy Image Brander is a paid for extension (http://www.fundysoftware.com/image-brander/) and the other a free extension (http://lumens.se/tychpanel/).
    I have seven extension panels running and these are the only two that require the user to set file input locations.
    Photoshop otherwise works just fine and I have no problems opening files. Other Windows programs also run without any problems. It's just these two that hang when the select or open file dialogue appears.
    And no I haven't contacted the producers.

  • How to trigger an "open file" dialog box

    I am using forms 10g. Does anyone know of codes to trigger "open file" dialog box in a button object?
    My goal is that the user may be able to select a file from his terminal by clicking a button.
    Thanks in advance.

    As aweiden suggests, there are additional setup steps that have to be completed on your workstation as well as the Forms server so you can use the WebUtil library. If you are using Forms 10g R2, then I recommend you conduct a search of the Forms Help system (Search tab) on "WebUtil" and select the "Configuring WebUitl" topic. If you are on Forms 10g R1 (9.0.4), then you had to download and install WebUtil on your workstation. I recommend you read the Web_Util.pdf in the "DOC" folder an follow all of the steps in Chapter 2 : Configuring WebUtil.

  • Open file dialog box - Excel 2011

    Not sure if this is the right forum to ask a question about running Office 2011 under Mavericks.
    Since upgrading to OSX 10.9, something very odd seems to have happend to the open file dialog box in Excel. The list of the files in the current folder is displayed, but the filename column is really narrow showing just 7 characters of each name. In contrast the date modified column is incredibly wide. I can manually adjust the filename column to make it wider so I can read the filenames, but each time I reopen Excel it has defaulted back to being very narrow.
    Does anyone know if there a preference setting somewhere that I can change in order to make the width default to something more readable so I don't have to manually change it every time I want to open a file. The Word and Powerpoint open dialog boxes appear normal, so the problem seems to be confined to Excel.
    I had been running the same version of Office 2011 under Snow Leopard and the change to Excel only appeared after upgrading the OSX 10.9.
