HT4106 Movies only show with file extension or duration in Photo app

This is really a two part question:
1. Is there a way to get the Photo app to show the file name?
2. Is there a way to get the movie files on my SD card to show in the Video app?

I face the same issue. This isn't a solution, hopefully someone can help with an app. The photos app sorts by file date, not alphabetically. So, on a computer, if you sort those files by date and make a list, you could then use that list to have a better chance of importing the right movie when you want to watch it.
I have kind of the same situation as you. A couple of large SD cards with video files on them that I don't have room to keep on the iPad. What I ended up doing was I found a program that allowed me to edit the creation date and time for the file, and once all those were the same, the ipad then defaulted to alphabetical and I could then have a list and count down, find the 5th file, import it and have it be what I wanted.
So not the solution you're looking for, here's hoping someone has one for you, but a different work around if things don't pan out. I also be interested in an app that allowed me to see the file names.

Quicktime no longer exporting my movies with file extensions

Hi all, QT is no longer exporting or saving movies with file extensions. The only way i can view extensions is to turn on all extensions in finder which means i get .app in my apps folder which i find looks naff, have i changed something to cause this?
Cheers

In the export or save dialog windows is a check box to "hide" the file extension.
Remove that check mark.

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

DVD Movies only show in green

I have an Insignia with built in DVD player. It worked fine (in Color) for the first year or so. Now no matter what I do
every movie only shows in Green. Any suggestions?

sounds like an issue with the internal dvd player. I would try connecting an external to the TV and see if you get the same results. Sounds like an issue between the output of the dvd player to the display (all internal) If it works externally then i would stick with the external solution.

How can I force that in af inputFile,File Upload popup only show image file

Hi
jdev 11.1.1.5
Is there any way to force that when click the browse button in af:inputFile ,In InputFile popup only show folder and image type file?
Thanks

There is no filter feature available for fileUpload. You can't force the component to only show specific files.

Does anyone know how to change .mov to a supported file extension (and what extension would you suggest)? .mov works on Apperture 3.0 so I thought it would work on Final Cut Pro X....

Does anyone know how to easily change a .mov file extension to one of the accepted Final Cut Pro X extensions? I thought since .mov worked in Aperture 3.0 it should work on FCP X. Thanks

Hi Tom
Thanks
I am now doing some 1 minute import tests from various Q/T's
They are all in the same place on an External 1 TB Western Digital - connected by Firewire 800
I have just imported some 1 minute tests from other Q/T 's and they have imported Ok - quickly imported and transcoded etc fine and quickly.
Using your suggested methd of getting the details using Quicktime 7 Movie Inspector I can see NO DIFFERENCE in the formats! In fact with four of these files open I can click on each in turn and see the Inspector details for each in turn - and only the name, size etc changes - not the format!
I am really upset and confused by this as I have been trying for the last four days to get these imported. I realise that this is small potatoes to those who are having problems with even FCP 7 Files! But, these are q/t's of 30 hours worth of unique reserahc material I shot in Africa. I have made several programmes from this material before (one even shown on Discovery!) I WAS hoping that I could use the new and all singing FCPX to make some new programmes for teaching purposes
But, how can I do that if only some will import? As I posted elsehwre - i get the message "No importable files"
I am REALLY grateful for your expertise and advice here
thanks

Movies only show up under Songs LIst

On my iPod Classic 80GB, movies (purchased and manually added) only show up under the songs list. I cannot change the info (movie, tv show) in iTunes because that is not an option for files in the songs list. I have been able to re-add a couple of the manually added movies and they show up in the right place, but the purchased movies I cannot do this with. This only became a problem today and has not been a problem in the past. They show up under the songs list only and not in the movies even though the info shows them as mp4. Any help is appreciated.

I would say that is a good indication that the movies are not actually synced. Check your sync settings in iTunes and also make sure that there is actually enough disk space available on the ATV for the movies that have yet to sync.

SequenceFileDiffer.exe opens only sequences with .seq extension

Hi Ppl,
I have to save the sequence files in xml format. So I have changed the sequence file format to xml and I save them with .xml extension instead of .seq.
Now its necessary that I have to also use the sequence file diff tool for these .xml extension sequences. I found out that this tool allows only .seq sequences to be opened, because the file dialog pattern is set to .seq and there is no all files option. Is there a way to open these .xml files. I'm hoping that there should be some command line arguments that will enable this option.
Thanks

This might not be ideal, but if you type:
in the File Name edit control of the open file dialog box and hit return it will then show you all files.
You can even do:
*.xml
to see xml files only.
Hope this helps,
-Doug

Adobe install does not assiocate programs with file extensions

Adobe CS4 was installed then Adobe CS5.5 was installed, Adobe CS4 was then removed. Now I have noticed that some of the workstations are having file association problems, specifically with Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
The file extensions .pst, .indd. (to name a few) are not associating with the appropriate programs. You can open these files while in the appropate programs, but I cannot double click on the files to open up the program. I've researched this issue and it seems that the following is happening:
1. The progID file path for the program is still pointing to CS4
2. The file extension has not been updated to reflect that it belongs to the appropriate program
3. The following error comes up "Adobe Illustrator has detected a problem in the window registry which needs to be corrected for Illustrator to work properly. Would you like Illustrator to correct the problem now?
This has happened on 3 different workstations, the fix I found for error 1 is to dive into the registry and update the progID with Adobe CS5.5's new file path.
To fix Error 2 and 3 Adobe CS5.5 needed to be uninstalled, then a registry sweet of the unused extensions and the old registry entries using Ccleaner, then a reinstall of Adobe CS5.5. After all of this everything is working perfectly.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so what were your solutions to these issues? Is there a patch or a hotfix or an update I can push out to multiple machines so I don't have to do this on a per machine instance?

You have to uninstall the current version of CS and then install the new version of CS in order to keep these file extensions from breaking. It's as simple as that, if you are having issues with Photoshop not showing up then it's due to the file path still pointing to the old version of Photoshop. You need to go into the registry in order to fix this.
Go to the following:
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\photoshop\shell\open\command
Than change it to the current file path for CS5.5 and that should enable Photoshop to show up in the open with menu in windows.
For example:
This is the old file path in the registry
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\photoshop.exe
This is what it should be changed to in order for open with to work
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1\photoshop.exe
After you do this it should work, but this is kind of a bandaid in order to get photoshop to work in windows open with menu

Digital version of movie only shows on one device

So I bought my Mac Book last summer I can't remember if I added the digital version (from the DVD) of a movie that I have on my PC or my Mac. But since LAST year the movie showed on my computer, iPad and Apple TV. Today it "disappeared" from everything but my computer. I also checked to see if the movie would show up on my iPhone. I had that featured turned off, but I went into settings and turned it on to see if it would show up. Nope!!! I even bought a tv show and movie to "test" if they would sync all three devices (Mac, iPad and Apple TV). They did but I can't figure out for the life of me why this movie went away. I still have the DVD and I thought if I deleted the movie from my computer I could re add it.
But when I put in the DVD it just plays. I can't even remember how I added the digital copy and I wasn't given any prompts to do anything.
I called Apple (before I bought the movie and TV show) and they said that they would send an e-mail to a link help me. I'm still waiting on that, but I thought that I would come here to see if anyone could help me.
Hopefully, someone here has experienced this. Cause this is driving me crazy.

Thanks!! I'll have to try can call them back. It makes no sense how it can be there one day and gone the next. I even tried to reset the factory settings on my Apple TV and that didn't work. Do they usually give you an answer if your warranty has expired? They mention something about paying for them to "fix" it.
I have resisted really tackling the issue of the missing stuff, simply because you stated that you were actually 'talking' with Apple ( " I called Apple" ) - so at present, let's stick with the Apple <> You correspondence...
Warranty info should be at their fingertips for the asking.
If out of warranty, repairs cost $ and some problems deemed caused by the User MIGHT. If all this happened after "I woke up today and poof!" (i.e., you did nothing at all) - it must be related to some update you had allowed or sought out - that seems to be an Apple responsibility. I have never been charged (or heard of someone being charged) because of anomalies caused by an update - they may not be able to fix 'em without a fix in an version update though.
Tell us the Story of your Apple correspondence:
What # did you call? And where did you find it? and How? *
list all communications
method
approx Date/Time
who you spoke with (N***y = Nancy, what 'Level' - i.e., 1st person, 2nd via transfer, etc
what Action Apple took - or promised to take?
you get the idea...
* if you did NOT find that # to call at the Apple Site somewhere ( Google/Bing/Yahoo Search), you have possibly NOT been talking with Apple.

Pdf files download with .file extension thus wont open as a pdf

Hi , when I try to download a pdf document with Firefox, the file downloads but add a .file extension thus wont open as a pdf.
I do not know if this is relevant but if you try to get the file to open with adobe viewer by telling the pc to open this type of file always with adobe viewer, nothing happens the tick box is greyed out, however if I double click the adobe viewer icon it will quite happily open the downloaded file as a pdf

The next time you download, STOP, and double check the full name of the file.
Firefox would not change the file name. But an add-on could.

HT4642 how do I save with file extensions in 09.

Numbers 08 had a check box to save a file with the extension (it didn't always work when saving to pdf) but 09 doesn't save the file with the extension (.numbers) by default and doesn't have an option to save .pdf when saving as a pdf. Is there a way to change this or is it not necessary? I'm worried that some clients with older versions may not be able to open the file without the extension.

Hello blinkless,
Numbers is capable of exporting to a variety of different formats (each with the appropriate extension).
Export in PDF, Excel, CSV, or Numbers ’09 file formats
Choose File > Export To > [file format] (from the File menu at the top of your computer screen).
Save a spreadsheet in another format

Smart folders with file extensions

I'm trying to create a SF including a couple different file extensions but as soon as add the 2nd file type the search goes empty in finder.....
i want avi, mp4, and flv files in there......

You want to see them all, so you need a logical 'OR' between the file extensions you're seeking.
In the Search Criteria, use Name, Contains, and then enter _.avi OR .mp4 OR .flv_
If you've been trying to do it by adding another criteria with the 'plus' button on the right, then you're using a logical 'AND', and obviously the files should not have two or three file extensions.

Clicking on PDF files on the internet does not download with file extension

When I click on a PDF link it downloads the file but does not save it as a ".pdf" file extension. When using the "save as" function in mozilla the ".pdf" file extension is included.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.
