  • Why doesn't Aperture 3 recognise RAW files from my Fuji F550EXR?

    I have just bought a Fujifilm F550EXR, partly because of it's RAW capabilities. I am an existing Aperture 3 user (Canon 5D Mk II) and have found it very good at working with the RAW files from that SLR. After shooting some test shots with the F550EXR, I now find that Aperture 3 doesn't recognise them. Surely Fuji's RAW file format has been around long enough for Apple to incorporate it into it's RAW converter. Why doesn't Apple support Fuji RAW files?

    Hi all,
    the problem still exists..
    Aperture still does not support this RAF (I recently bought a Fujifilm F550EXR)
    Others do..
    I've just tested Adobe Lightroom, works great
      with both, Fuji-RAF and NEF format (of my Nikon D80)
    even free picture software does support this Fuji-RAW format
    - e.g. "rawker", http://raifra.fh-friedberg.de/Mac/index-en.html
    so its hard for me to understand, that the missing cooperation between Fujifilm and Apple is the problem.
    I think, Apple regards it as too much effort to implement this format for (in relation) so few cameras..
    Aperture 2 had no backup function for some month, and Apple did not care ..
    (too much effort, too?)

  • Why doesn't disk utility recognize time capsule when finder does recognize it as a shared device?

    Why doesn't disk utility recognize time capsule when finder does recognize it as a shared device?

    I don't have a TC, but I hate Network solutions, as there is no way to repair them!
    Not wishing to look up what a TC can do, is there any wayto connect it directly???

  • Why doesn't apple offer a viewer/file browser for iCloud Drive?

    Why doesn't apple offer a viewer/file browser for iCloud Drive?
    Dropbox, Microsoft’s OneDrive, and Google Drive all have viewer apps that let you see and manage what’s in the drive.  The only way you can do that with iCloud Drive is through a web browser.  Very frustrating and backward.

    I found a possible band-aid for our problem:
    1) On iOS 8 Device, go to Safari / iCloud.com
    2) Once you get to iCloud.com, you'll notice it won't give you the option to log in.
    3) Tap on the URL bar (this should bring up your bookmarks bar and Frequently Visited Sites)
    4) Tap, Hold, and Slide your finger down on that section (this will reveal two options: (1) Add to Favorites, and (2) Request Desktop Site
    5) Tap Request Desktop Site
    Log in as usual, and you can now access iCloud Drive with your PDFs and other documents like any other computer.
    I too am disappointed as I was looking forward to view PDF's shared between my Macbook and my iPad, but I think this should work until Apple comes out with a solution.

  • Trying to create a shell script to cut/paste files in finder. Help needed.

    I'm trying to create an automator shell script to cut/paste. It'll function exactly like copy/paste. i.e. I'll just copy file/files with command+c like always, but then I'll create an automator which uses the "mv" terminal app to move the files which works exactly like cut paste.
    I need some help since I don't know the syntax for creating shell scripts.
    What I did so far is to do it in automator with Apple Script which goes like the following:
    on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
    set theWindow to window 1
    set thePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (target of theWindow as string))
    end tell
    tell application "Terminal"
    do script with command "mv \"" & input & "\"" & thePath in window 1
    end tell
    return input
    end run
    This gets the copied file path from clipboard before, as input, and then recognizes the active finder window as thePath so then executes the mv command for the input file to the thePath window.
    It doesn't work as expected since it connects both file/window paths into a single path instead of leaving a space between them so the mv command can't recognize two separate paths.
    What's the correct syntax for that line
    do script with command "mv \"" & input & "\"" & thePath in window 1
    to leave a space between input and thePath under the mv command?
    Also this requires the terminal app to be open in the background.
    After I get this to work I want to do the exact same thing using shell script within automator, so I won't need Terminal to be open all the time.
    And the next step will be to cut/paste multiple files/folders but that should be easy to do once I get the hang of it.

    Try using:
    on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
    set theWindow to window 1
    set thePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (target of theWindow as string))
    end tell
    do shell script "mv \"" & input & "\" " & thePath
    return input
    end run

  • Why doesn't command-click always open links new tabs?

    Right-clicking on links and selecting "Open link in new tab" always works as described, but command-clicking on links only sometimes opens them in new tabs. I am guessing that it is Javascript related, but why can the contextual menu work, and not the click?

    ''Edit: You might already have this set if the right-click option always works.''
    By default, Firefox will divert standard new windows to a tab, but if the link actually is a script that launches a window with special parameters, like a dialog, then Firefox will honor that. There is an obscure setting to disregard those parameters and force all scripted windows into a new tab as well.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''link.o''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double click these and set the value as desired:
    '''(A) browser.link.open_newwindow'''
    '''3 = divert new window to a new tab (<u>default</u>)''' (checked*)<br>
    2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)<br>
    1 = force new window into same tab
    '''*''' First checkbox in Options > Tabs
    '''(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'''
    '''0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows)'''<br>
    2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (<u>default</u>)<br>
    1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
    Does that work?

  • Why doesn't iMovie HD import MPEG2 files?

    Dear Discussion Group,
    Can you please tell me why iMovie HD imports MPEG4 files, but not MPEG2 files?
    It would appear that the DV8 camcorders have been withdrawn from the marketplace, with the exception of miniDV, and there are only a few models of them available.
    In their place are miniDVD and Hard Drive Digital camcorders, the vast majority og which record in the MPEG2 format, not MPEG4!
    The industry leader, Sony, doesn't make a single digital camcorder that upports MPEG4.
    So, why does Apple support this newer technology in iMovie HD? Will there be support in future releases of iMovie?
    Owen Cobb

    Only the iMovie product manager at Apple can really answer that question. Maybe the next upgrade will add this feature. On the PC, the consumer video editing app Adobe Premiere Elements 1.0 didn't support MPEG-2 editing either, but added it in version 2.0, and improved it with 3.0.
    QuickTimeKirk said:
    iMovie is a DV editing app. Not an MPEG-2 convert to DV Stream and then edit app.
    That only applies to iMovie, not iMovie HD. When you capture from a HD miniDV camcorders with iMovie HD, it does exactly that: convert the MPEG-2 stream and then edit it. HD miniDV camcorders record in MPEG-2 to fit 1 hour of HD video onto the same 1 hour miniDV tapes that are used for SD camcorders. The limitation is that iMovie HD supports this only for HD camcorders with Firewire connections.
    Clemmons Kid said:

    I just checked on the Sony website, and found 6 HD camcorders that record in AVCHD (which is MPEG-4), to either hard disk, DVD, or flash memory.

  • Why doesn't Premiere support FLAC audio files?

    .flac is an extension that is very useful to the majority of my coworkers as well as myself.  It's quite a disappointment to see that Premiere Pro, even to this date, doesn't support the .flac extension.  Does anybody know why this is or if support will be added soon?

    adobe doesn't announce new features, so its anyone's guess if/when flac will be added. it is supported in audition, so if you plan on finishing in audition you can try to wait to add those flac files until then.

  • Why doesn't iTunes copy all my files, and how do I know which it left out?

    Hello,
    I had iTunes on my old PC, and when I installed it on my new one (Vista Home Premium), it very helpfully deleted everything off my iPod and copied it all back again! As it happens, the only files on the iPod were from the iTunes library, so it didn't matter, but it was annoying.
    Anyway, now it has (supposedly) synched my library and iPod, if I look at the library, it shows 1164 songs. If I look at my iPod, it only shows 1157 songs.
    How do I know which songs iTunes didn't copy over? More to the point, anyone any idea why it didn't just copy all of them?
    Thanks for any help.

    OK, thanks for all the replies.
    hmacross: I have checked for duplicates, and there were some there. This was because when I installed iTunes, it insisted on scanning my entire hard disk and adding every audio file it could find, even though I didn't want it to. I only wanted it to add ones in my Music folder. I had to do a fair amount of work to clean this up! Anyway, I just checked again, and there aren't any duplicates in my iTunes library.
    Chris: If I look in my iTunes library, and show all the audio files as a big list, at the bottom it gives me the total number of files, and the total play length. If I look at the iPod, I see similar numbers.
    After some tidying up, the iTunes library shows 1149 songs, and the iPod shows 1147 songs, so there's still a discrepancy. I have double checked for duplicates, so that's not the issue.
    Thanks again. Any further help would be appreciated.

  • Why doesn't "Preview" open my .PDF files on my computer?

    Hello Guys,
    My "Preview" program stopped opening .PDF files about a week ago. The program shows up in the dock, but it doesn't display the PDF. It displays JPEG's no problem, but for some reason it' doesnt open PDF fils.It is driving me crazy. I have googled and googled, but no luck in fixing my problem.
    I have even set the PDF files to "always open with preview"
    Any help would be greatly appreciatd
    Thanks in advance
    -Miguel

    I suspect your problem has to do with the file on the drive that stores the preferences to open what up with what program.
    I don't know exactly what that preference file is, but I know of a way to check for corruption of the preference files and once you know which one is corrupted, then we can delete it and it will rebuild.
    So do the #12 and #13 OnyX routines here, that will also clear your caches and speed up your machine a little as well.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Once #13 is competed then see this Ut here.

  • Why doesn't "include/object/text from file" work?

    I want to include (link) text from other Word documents to a  main  Word document and I use "include/object/text from file" (Word function)
    It works fine when I do so in "H:", but doing exactly the same in the Sharepoint environement result in "nothing" (nothing happens)
    It DOES work if I link from a document saved in Sharepoint to a "H:" - document, but that is of no use since I need all the documents to be stored in Sharepoint.
    Guess it has to do with the set up och Sharepoint.
    Greatful for any tips!

    Hi,
    Did you mean insert a object in the documents?
    Did you open the file with the local application or office web application?
    In the office web application, it doesn’t have the function to insert a object in the browser.
    I had tested with some word files in the library, open the word files with the local application, then insert file using the insert object function.
    It worked without any issue.
    What’s more, I had tested with Office 2010 and Office 2013, they all worked.
    Did the issue occur in other libraries? You can create a new library to check whether it works.
    You can also download a copy for the issued file, then open it in the local machine to check whether it works in the local machine.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jason
