I just transferred my garage band songs from my iphone to my mac. Why won't garage band open them? I just upgraded to ilife '11. Still won't work. Garage Band cannot open files in the "data" format.. Any Ideas?

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.

My Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Editor) function has suddenly stopped working. Windows cannot seem to solve the problem. Any anwers

I receive Adobe updates on a regular basis without any problems. The other day, my Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Editor) function has suddenly stopped working. Windows cannot seem to solve the problem. I can open all the other function buttons without any problems just not the most important one which is the Editor Function. Has anyone experienced this situation and knows what to do?

Did you tried uninstalling and then installing it again?

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 do you transfer songs from an iPhone 4 to a MacBook Pro?

Hi, I just wanted to move my songs from my iPhone to my Mac. Can anyone help? Thanks

If it is the computer you normally sync with all you have to do is sync.
If for some reason it doen't transfer for you then you can use the "Transfer purchased content" option in the File menu.

When reading from the file validate the date 'DD/MM/YYYY' format

Hi,
reading from the file ,validate the date format 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
Thanks & regards
venkata

I suppose that you are writing a program in some programming language, probably PL/SQL. So, you can use TO_DATE function and handle the exception when it occurs.
create or replace procedure tstdt
as
stdt varchar(10);
dt date;
begin
stdt := '20/10/2006';
dt := to_date(stdt);
dbms_output.put_line('date is correct
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Date');
end;[],

How do you sync songs from your iPhone to you computer?

PLEASE HELP!! I just got my new Macbook Pro but i can't sync all of my songs from my iphone to my Macbook!!! I am begging you all to please help me!!

Hey there,
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
It would also be a good idea to remember to make sure to authorize your new computer in iTunes.

Hi, susiebroll.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You will need to reset your old Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below to transfer your purchases from your old Apple ID to your Mac. If you do not have access to the email account or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

If the issue remains it would be best for you to back up your phone then book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store to be evaluated.

Finder cannot open files in the "volume" format.

I had to downgrade from the second Yosemite beta in order to run one of my applications for work that didn't run on Yosemite. I've successful reinstalled Mavericks to the chagrin of finder not working at all. Whenever I mount a DMG I get "Finder cannot open files in the “volume” format." Also, whenever I click to open a folder or a new window in finder, it just crashes and relaunches. I'm going to try to do a fresh install of Mavericks and recover from a backup. Let me know if you guys have faced this same issue and found a solution.
I also had to regain admin privileges for my user which I have done successfully.

I fixed my problem by installing Mavericks again. No need to fully restore.

Cannot open file in the "GenRandom290" format

Just updated yosemite and when I go to open a file i get the message cannot open file in the "GenRandom290" format. Before i updated never had a problem.

Hi,
In the current format of the Apple Discussions you can "tag" a Thread starting post with the sub folders such as the "Mail" section or "Messages" and other App based section or ones like "Using Yosemite" to pin down the knowledge you need.
The experienced posters can add the word Content at the base level of the Forum folder like this
"https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_yosemite/content"
This changes the View but you can then select a specific section.
I use Messages which converts to:-
OS X Yosemite
So in looking for posts about the Messages app I found this Thread tagged for Messages.
The issue is not one I recognise from Messages.
If you Right Click the File and use the Open With option what do you see ?
This might tell us what area we should be looking at.
