Is there a way to persuade my machine to make 3 letter file extensions?

Hi,
I have been having a frustrating time trying to share images exported from iPhoto, created with Grab, etc, as they all seem to make 4 letter file extensions (.jpeg, .tiff) which the illustrious Windows cannot read, and I am tired of changing them manually.
Is there a way to change either Finder settings or individual Apple software settings to ONLY export the more universal 3 letter file extensions?
Thank you for your help,
T.

Yes, of course. This is where I have noticed the problem. Emailing directly from iPhoto the images are tagged .jpeg, however if they are saved to a folder, then 'attached' ticking the box for 'Windows friendly attachments' in Mail, then it works. but I have not found a direct way to do it.

  • Is there a way of persuading iCloud to sync the smart groups I have in address book on my Mac

    I have a small number of smart groups in address book on my iMac. but these do not sync through iCloud to my Macbook or iPod touch.  Everythin else syncs even ordinary groups, but not the smart groups.  Is there a way of persuading iCloud to do it?  I can fully sync my Macbook contacts by exporting an archive from the iMac and then comying and importing this to the Macbook.  But this is old technology.

  • Is there any way to force time machine to keep retrying after disk i/o error?

    a little background to my problem:
    i've had a hard drive problem previously, and i managed get all the data off of my mac by trying and retrying to access the same files and also from my working time machine backup. after zeroing out and reformatting my drive and doing a clean install of Mavericks i had everything back up running no problems.
    recently, my macbook pro would be stuck and slow in recently imported iphoto pics so i figured my hard drive is really failing this time around
    i try to get a time machine backup to save what i can, but after a couple of tries time machine would just stop backing up and in console i would see a disk i/o error.
    is there any way to force time machine to keep trying to backup through the disk i/o error so i can save what i can before getting a new drive?
    edit: a little more info, i know i have a harddrive error from looking at the console, but when i do a verify disk in disk utility it comes up clean and even after doing a disk repair it comes up clean i still see disk i/o errors in the console.

    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Thee can also be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.<br />
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.

    AFAIK, there's no app that'll clone the Mac and PC volumes so you can restore them. System Image Utility.app or Deploy Studio for Mac and Ghost for PC are needed. See these for starters:

  • Hi All, I have two questions. First of all my CS3 is saying that it is installed on more than one machine, is there a way of seeing what machines my serial number is registered to? If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot

    Hi All, I have two questions. First of all my CS3 is saying that it is installed on more than one machine, is there a way of seeing what machines my serial number is registered to? If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot afford to move to the creative cloud.....

    there's no way for you to identify which machines have or had cs3 activated, and you can no longer purchase a cs3 license from adobe.
    you can request an activation count reset (Contact Customer Care) and deactivate your cs3 on all your computers.  you can then install and activate on up to two computers.

    I hope there is a solution to this problem note that I can not use the iPad now

    Your question makes no sense and I'm not sure if you typed very quickly and autocorrect went nuts on you, or if you are not a native English speaker and Google Translate didn't work properly. If you are saying that you forgot the passcode to unlock the iPad, follow the instructions here.

  • HT204057 is there a way to use time machine with a backup drive connected to my AirPort?

    is there a way to use time machine with a backup drive connected to my AirPort Extreme?

    Unfortunately, this is not officially supported by Apple......if you still have the 4th Gen AirPort Extreme that you list in your equipment profile.
    However, the new "tower" shaped version of the AirPort Extreme does now officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the device.

  • Is there a way to create a button to make an entire page visible or hidden in an Acrobat XI form?

    Is there a way to create a button to make an entire page visible or hidden in an Acrobat XI form?

    Note that Reader (11 or otherwise) cannot show/hide pages that are templates. Reader 11 can spawn new pages from templates and delete any spawned pages, however. It also supports spawning a template by overlaying it on an existing page.
    The UI in Acrobat 11 for making a page a template and setting its visibility is found under: Tools > Document Processing > Page Templates

  • Is there a way to view the messages I sent along with files in Adobe Send?

    Is there a way to view the messages I sent along with files in Adobe Send?

    Too bad...I wish that feature was still there that was in SendNow...I also have to go and get the recipients email each time I send a file instead of Send remembering the email addresses I have sent to in the past.
    Are any of the great features of SendNow going to be brought over into Send? Or are they just gone...I am a paying CC user...just curious what's going on at Adobe...Thanks for your very quick response though...I guess my message content is gone.

  • Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or text file into Contacts v7?

    Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or text file into Contacts v7? I have a list of about 500 people and their email addresses in FileMaker Pro that I can export in a number of formats that can be manipulated. Is there any way to get those contacts into Contacts without entering them one at a time?

    I have answered my own question. I exported the data from a layout in FileMaker Pro containing the required fields as tab separated text. That produced a .tab file that Contacts wanted nothing to do with. However, when I changed the .tab in the file name to .txt, Contacts accepted it as a file to import (File/Import). I then identified the field in Contacts in which the data in each field in the txt file was to be placed and in it went! The trick was changing .tab to .txt in the name of the file exported by FileMaker Pro.

  • Is there a way to find out whether all of my music files have been imported to iTunes?

    Is there a way to find  out whether all of my music files on the computer have been imported to iTunes?
    I want to consolidate my music files to tidy it all up into one place, and then delete the originals. I don't want to delete any music until I know that it's all been imported.
    Thanks.

    Try iTunes Folder Watch and point it all the places you store media. When you're happy everything has been imported you can consolidate.

  • Is there a way to save photos from lightroom without the original file?

    I recently imported photos into lightroom, but I failed to save the original files on my computer and they are deleted from my card.  The pictures are still showing up in lightroom.  Is there a way to save them from lightroom without the original file?

    Your images aren't - and never were - in Lightroom, they're just referenced in Lightroom's database.
    Lightroom does generate jpeg previews of the originals though, and you can export those using Rob Cole's Preview Exporter plugin: robcole.com - PreviewExporter.
    To be clear though, these aren't the originals.

  • Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?

    Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage.  Your backups are listed at the top, along with their sizes.  Note: this will only list your most current backup.  You may have your previous two backups available too but you cannot access any size information about them.

  • InCopy workflow in InDesign: Is there a way to find the document in which an ICML file has NOT been checked IN again before saving the doc?

    The situation:
    We are working with the InCopy feature (checking in and checking out ICML files).
    The problem:
    I might have saved a document with an ICML file still checked out.
    The question:
    Is there a way to find out which document was saved with the ICML file still checked out?
    or in other words:
    Is there a way to find the document in which an ICML file has NOT been checked IN again before saving the doc?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hello Sumit Singh,
    thank you for your answer and your reasonable recommendation. Unfortunately, this only works when the ICML content is used in one INDD file. In our case, we use ICML content in multiple docs (various manuals with the same safety instructions, warranties, adresses etc.).
    So, is there a way to trace back where an ICML has been used?
    Is it possible to find out in which document the ICML is still checked out?
