Makes Duplicate Of File When Opening Pictures On A PC

I have photos and an external hard drive. When I either select the photos in the library and drag them to the desktop, or select the photos and do an export it does export the files to the external hard drive. When I open it on the mac there is only 1 of each file there. When I plug it into the PC and view the folder with the files in it there is a duplicate of each. The weird thing though is for example if I have a file named picture1.jpg it has that in there but also creates a ._picture1.jpg
What does it create that duplicate file with the ._ before it?
When I plug it back into the mac that ._ file is not there.

Mac OS stores "resource forks" (icons) in image files but PC users get two files when they are shared via HD, CD and even when using a PC to view the contents of any Mac directory on a PC.
My simple fix is to "delete" the resource fork prior to sharing with PC users so they don't get confused.
CMM's can do this with a right click prior to sharing and most image apps can also delete that resource fork file.
Mac Mail app allows the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" which also removes the resource fork file so viewers are not confused.

Duplicate pst files when openning Outlook 2010

Hello,
Each time I open iCloud in Microsoft Outlook 2010, a new .pst file is created. it has the same name, but the number increases. e.g emailaddress(1).pst, emailaddress(2).pst, etc. It also downloads the email items each time and seems to be rebuilding the pst file. Is it possible to setup Outlook, so that only one pst file is used? FYI, I'm setup using IMAP, so that multiple devises can access the email. I'm using windows 7.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated
Best regards
Tony

Thanks you all for discussing this thread, I too was a victim of email migration (migrating from apple mail to outlook in windows). Thanks to this thread I got Apple mail to pst converter Mac Version: http://applemailtopst.com/download-free-trial-applemail-to-pst-converter/.
To look out for the best tool I downloaded both the version and performed a check in both. The mac version had an extra edge s it could directly access the apple mail data and there was no need to export or archive apple mail data. Possibly it took only three
clicks to complete the coversion process and a few minutes.
Thanks once again for this thread.

Can't save 24 x 36 ai version 9 file when opened in CS6

Can’t save 24 x 36 ai version 9 file when opened in CS6, even when opened as an outline format. I was able to save the file when reduced to 8 x 11, once saved I resized it back to 24 x 36 but it still didn’t work. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Sorry to have taken up your time, I have figured it out. I have about 50 layers and one was bad, process of elimination, I deleted one by one till I found the layer that was causing it to fail. Files I had converted from .DWG to AI coused an error

Any solutions for lost render/preview files when opening files?s

Have any solutions been found for the intermittent lost render/preview files when opening a large file? I have Premiere CS6. A large project file that I have been working on lately opened without a hitch with previews intact ...until I bought new faster hard drives and rebuilt the computer (built with the same drive letters). I just installed the latest updates. When I now open this file, a segment of the sequence always opens without previews, unrendered, no matter how many times I rendered the file previously. I don't use 3rd party plugins. I am using the warp stabilizer. I tried all the suggestions that I have found on the forums (using a blank sequence to close and open, unchecking “write XMD…” etc.) but none work. I checked the render/preview drive, and these files are on that drive but they will no longer link to the project. It now takes a good 15 minutes to re-render every time I open.

I may have found a solution. I took out the warp stabilizer, and then added it back in on the clips in question, and then re-analysed and re-rendered. So far, so good. It seems that bringing in the warp stabilizer effect in the file into the re-built computer needed re-analysing (as I do after this 2 day exercise.)

Illustrator CS 6 makes copies of files when they are opened

This is not a view problem. Illustrator actually makes a file labelled "copy"everytime the particular file is opened. Each time it is opened, it makes another copy & tags a number on the end. It only happens with the occasional file, but once this happens, nothing will stop the problem. Selecting all & pasting into a new file does not help. There are no extra views. The artwork is originally copied from the customer file & pasted into a new document. A solution would B immensly appreciated.

The solution for me is in the "Get Info" box. Select the problem file & "Get Info" by right clicking or just select the file & type command i. Every file we had problems with had the "Stationary Pad" checkbox selected. Uncheck this (& the "Hide Extension" as well if it is selected) & no more copies on opening. The stationary pad button is like a lock, except it opens an editable, saveable copy while preserving the original.
Hope This Helps!

How can i make Distiller autoname file ( when exprting from other application?)

hello everyone,
i have been searching for a solution for a long time please help me >
we have more than 100.000 docuents saved as pic on our network at work by using ( Laser Fiche). I wanted to save all files by using acrobat distiller but when i try to print a file i was prompted to enter a file name! but i don't want to... i want the distiller create a file name automatially.
in the preferencesd i unchecked ( ask for PDF .. ) but the problem is that all files saved were overwritten because distiller was imporing the file name from Laser Fich!
how can I make distiller ( autoname files like 0001 0002 0003 and so on) ?
forgot to tell you that i am using acrobat version 5 ( and windows xp + laser fiche at work )
thanks in advance

thanks Bill@VT -
it didn't work
I opened the properiteis of the distiller and uncheck the ( prompt for the PDF file name) so that the distiller can save files automatically . it did but by overwriting the files because the original files in the LASER FICHE have same names so the distiller saved one file only by overwriting ....that's why i want to make distiller to name files when saving them ( the distiller are imorting the files from Laser fiche only but i want it to autoname them )
i also opened distiller properites and unchecked the ( ask to replace existing PDF filename ) the distiller was always asking me to replace file ! and I can't do it this way because I have more than 100.000 docuents!
sorry , I know this is a very difficult question
but I would very happy if you can help me
hank you

Duplicate TIFF files when using "Edit in PS CS5"

Hello there,
I'm using LR 4.3 and CS5, with ACR 6.7 installed. Whenever I'm using "Edit in PS CS5" comand inside LR, automatically I'm getting a duplicate TIFF file added to my LR catalog. How can I avoid this? Thank you for your time!

bcondoral wrote:
So this happens because 4.1 is compatible with ACR6.7 and 4.3 is not?
There are two basic behaviors regarding Lightroom and Camera Raw versioning:
If the Lightroom version and the Camera Raw version are equal (meaning LR 4.3 and ACR 7.3) Lightroom passes the image from LR to Photoshop using ACR to render the file. In this case, LR doesn't need to render the file and to the -Edit save when opening into Photoshop. Photoshop does the render and when saved, will pass that file creation back to Lightroom for adding in the catalog.
However, whenever the LR version and ACR version do NOT match, Lightroom does the rendering (to be sure of proper rendering) and save the file on disk before passing the image to Photoshop. So, if you are using mismatched LR/ACR versions, this second behavior comes into play.
As ssprengel correctly notes, there was a slight modification to these behaviors when LR 4 first shipped because it shipped before Photoshop CS6 and ACR 7 shipped. LR 4.0 and 4.1 (the quick dot release for camera compatibility reasons) were made to work with ACR 6.7 in Photoshop CS5 with the first behaviors working...
LR 4.2 and above do not have the ACR 6.7 compatibilities so the behavior of the LR render and file saving requirement kicks in.
For optimal compatibility both LR and ACR should be kept in lock-step. Since the release of CS6, ACR 6.7 is the last version of ACR for CS5, so you lose some intigration and functionality by not upgrading to Photoshop CS6 and ACR 7.x.

Sort order of files when opening a document within a program

When opening Explorer, files are correctly sorted in alphabetical order.
When opening a document (say within Word), if I search a folder then the files/folders are in a strange sort order - something like last used or modified. I don't know how this happened. I want them sorted alphabetically like in Explorer.
What do I need to do? I'm fed up of having to sort every folder each time I open it within a program.

have you expanded the Files Panel, made the sort by clicking
on the
headings, then collapsed it?

Not sure but maybe some exotic compression? Where did you get
that TIFFs
and how they were prepared?

Passing a parameter to an Excel file when opening it

I would like to know if it is possible to pass a parameter to an Excel file when calling that file from within another Excel file using VBA. I am using the 2007 version. An example of what I would like to do is what we use to do with DOS programs and command
line parameters. I would like to have the Excel file I just opened do something depending on the parameter passed to it and then close.
Might be an easy question but I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Step.1 Create a macro-enabled workbook
Step.2 Open the workbook, and open the VBA, insert a moudle, copy and paste the following code sample in the module
Option Base 0
Option Explicit
Declare Function GetCommandLine Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetCommandLineW" () As Long
Declare Function lstrlenW Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpString As Long) As Long
Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (MyDest As Any, MySource As Any, ByVal MySize As Long)
Function CmdToSTr(Cmd As Long) As String
Dim Buffer() As Byte
Dim StrLen As Long
If Cmd Then
StrLen = lstrlenW(Cmd) * 2
If StrLen Then
ReDim Buffer(0 To (StrLen - 1)) As Byte
CopyMemory Buffer(0), ByVal Cmd, StrLen
CmdToSTr = Buffer
End If
End If
End Function
Step.4 Copy and paste the following code sample into ThisWorkbook
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim CmdRaw As Long
Dim CmdLine As String
Dim myParam As String
CmdRaw = GetCommandLine
CmdLine = CmdToSTr(CmdRaw)
myParam = Right(CmdLine, 6)
MsgBox myParam
End Sub
Step.4 Sign your code or modify the macro security settings to allow the macro to run automatically
Step.5 Save and close the workbook
Step.6 Run command line with the parameter, for example:
Excel "Server\ShareFolder\TheWorkbook.xlsm" /e/myParam
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The code sample above will pass the last 6 characters (modify the code if you need more or less) to the workbook
The workbook will display a message box to display the parameter we passed from the command line, add the other function as you need
The code sample refers to the reply from Air_Cooled_Nut in

Corrupt file when opened in Ai

I have a problem with a file that appears to be corrupt and not rendering correctly when brought into Illustrator.
When It was last synced it appeared in CC as below with no thumbnail version.
When emailed and opened in Acrobat the file renders correctly.
However when the PDF is opened in Ai the fill for the branches is not correct.
Outline view shows that this is not an errant fill problem and that the detail is not retreivable.
When opened from the .idea in Illustrator file it renders as below
Outline view shows only a few branches and some artifacts where they should be
As does highlighting the branch layer
The file appears to be correct on my iPhone and I have synced several times in case it was corrupted in the sending but it has not rectified this problem.
Device: iPhone 5 model MD297X/A iOS 7.0 (11A4449a)
Software: Adobe Ideas v2.7

The file does not look to be corrupt on the Ideas side. However, your .idea file does have several paths that have a very large number of points. You may be experiencing either a predefined limit in Illustrator or simply a bug in the Ideas import plug-in for Illustrator. We will follow up with the Illustrator team to verify.
In the meantime, I have tried to work around the issue by exporting the problematic layer as an image, opened that image in Illustrator, and performed "Live Trace" on it. Then, I recombined it with the other layers. I have shared the .ai file on my Creative Cloud account to you in a separate email.
Hope that helps,

MacBook makes new whoosh sound when opening

MacBook makes a new sound when I open the cover..... Like a woosh, which it never used to do before. Is there any way to turn off?

dcnjrich wrote:
I sent my MBP13 to Apple for repair. The tech indicated that the hinges were lubricated and tightened....and the sound still exists. Atleast I have it documented in the event there is any type of failure. Candidly I'm guessing that one of the magnets is loose as the noise does not occur when the laptop lid is closed.
If this was my MBP, I'd return it and ask them to fix it correctly, and if they can't, ask about a replacing it (I would miss it while it was gone, but I'd still be able to work on one of my other Macs. If you can't afford the time without it, your situation might be different; obviously that's your call.)

Stop Excel changing a file when opened

Is there a way to stop Excel (and possibly Word too) changing the Excel file when you open it, and then close it without saving.
Excel updates the last opened date, and does not change the update date. Like this: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/oddity/who_last_opened_that_file/
I do not want this to occur as I have a sync'ing system which creates unessisary noise, and it also causes sync issues and merge conflicts for changes that are not changes.
Can you turn it off?

Hello ,
Thank you for your question.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue.
Thanks

Attachment (Excel) creates duplicate file when opened

I have a user who is seeing duplicate files show up in the attachment window of an email after they open an excel file. It saves it as a "Modified copy". I have never seen thi sbefore and neither had she up until a few weeks ago.
Any ideas?
Dave Burek

If one opens an attached Office document and save this from the application (Excel) then one get the "Modified copy" as a new attachment.
This is a normal function.
If Ypou feel this as an error You have to look, why Excel saves the file.

"Error 7 occurred at Open File +.vi:Open File" when opening a newly built application

Hello,
After successfully building a standalone application in LabView 7.1, I get this error when I try to run my .exe file. I don't think any files are supposed to open upon execution except for my top level VI, which appears to open just fine, so I'm unsure why this error pops up. Does anyone have any ideas that might help or has anyone run into this error before?
Thanks in advance!
Jason

Hi,
I have a similar problem. I created a stand alone application using Labview 8.2. I run a vi to test some electronics and send the results to an Excel spread sheet. I use Labview's New Report vi and I give the location of the spread sheet as one of its inputs. In runs OK on my laptop (windows XP) but when I make it a stand alone application and run it on another PC (Windows 2000) I get an "error 7 at Excel_Open.vi" that shows an extra path in the directory.
See attached vi -- assuming it stays with this note.
How do I fix this?
Thanks
