Mobi document and other conversions

Can Acrobat convert a mobi document to a pdf? If not, are there some other applications that can do this? What about ePub documents? Thanks.

How do you get documents (and other links) to open in Safari?

I have a website that I use for school and there are course documents and such that I would like to open right in the Safari window, but Safari always downloads them. I know that they can be opened in the same window, but I can't figure out how to get Safari to do it.

Most modern Web browsers can only "open" a few file extensions. Some are .html, .htm, .asp, .php and .txt.
Most software create file extensions at saving. Some users choose to "hide" the file extension from the file name and rely on "icons" to decide which app will open them.
So. What does a person have to do to get the browser to open the file?
Example: Microsoft Word creates .doc file extension files and they will always be downloaded in a browser.
TextEdit can create .rtf (Rich Text Format) or .txt (Text) file formats. The .rtf will download but a .txt file can be displayed by a browser.
Microsoft Word can also save a file as .html and it will be viewable in a browser (as long as all the support and image files are inside the same folder).
What is the application that makes the files? What save as (export) options does it allow?

APEX- How to open world document (and other files) stored in a blob column?

Hi,
I have an application developed in Oracle Apex 3.2.1 and RDBMS Oracle 9.2.0.8 (SUN SOLARIS SPARC 64 BITS).
I have a table called BAC_ARQUIVO, with the following structure:
CREATE TABLE BAC_ARQUIVO
(NAME VARCHAR2(4000), /* Name of the file stored in BLOB column */
SUBJECT VARCHAR2(4000), /* A brief description about this file stored */
ID NUMBER, /* An identification of this file - It´s a PK column of this table*/
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB, /* Blob field that store diferent kind of files - XLS, DOC, PPT, PDF, EXE, ZIP, etc);
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(4000) /* Identification about which kind of file is stored on BLOB field */
The field BLOB_CONTENT of this table can store:
- Executable files;
- MS-World Documents (DOC);
- Zip Files (ZIP);
- Ms-Excel Files (XLS);
- Ms-Powerpoint files (PPT);
- Adobe documents (PDF);
Actually, in this APEX application, i have developed a interactive Report in which the user can download these files to desktop without problems.
But now, my user would like to know if it´s possible that APEX application can OPEN some of these files stored on this BLOB column WITHOUT download it.
My user would like to see a hiperlink (or button) that, if pressed/acessed, can open a new page (or a page inside application) with the document. He doesn´t need to edit this oppened file. He only wants to see it.
For example, if the file stored in the blob column is ms-word type , so the application will open a MS-WINDOWS application with these file.
Is it possible?
I saw in this forum that it´s possible to open a file stored on "/i/" directory, but i need to open the file stored in BLOB column. I don´t want to store the file in operational system of the server.
Could any one demonstrate to me how it could be done?
Best regards,
Sergio Coutinho

Hi Sergio,
This link might be helpful:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
Also refer the BLOB Download Format Mask :
{message:id=9716335}
Here I have given the format mask for APEX 4.0, which will slightly differ for 3.2.1 and proposed changes
in the format mask are:
1) Format Mask: DOWNLOAD
2) Content Disposition: Inline
This will be achieved with it:

Automator still broken - mp3s classed as 'documents' and other "quirks"

Without going into rant mode, it appears that automator is broken.
Can anybody explain why, amongst other things which make absolutely no sense, it thinks that .mp3 files are documents?
I have been trying to use folder actions to keep my downloads folder organised, which used to work fine (albeit with a few quirks if I recall) back in Tiger, but I haven't been able to get work since Leopard/ Snow leopard .
Just checking there isn't something specifically wrong with my machine before I file a bug report, which I'm pretty sure I did in leopard and then in snow-leopard too.

Well, mp3 files are documents for those applications that handle them, just as text files are documents for applications that handle text. I think what is being filtered are document files (vs applications and folders) - there are additional filters for various document types, such as music.

Word Documents and others Undeletable

I have tried looking at other forums and nothing seems applicable. *warning, I'm not too familiar with all the technical language or the technical computer maneuvering*
Scenario: I have on my desktop about 12 documents (pdf, docx, and doc). These documents have various origins. About 3 or so, I created with my Word programs document. The one PDF is an uploaded scanned image. The other doc's came from a PC (They were saved onto an external hard drive [WB] and then copied onto my desktop. That laptop is no longer existent).
Problem: I can't seem to delete them. I drag them to the bin and I get a "Type your password to allow Finder to make changes". I do so. I hear the "trash" sound when you delete something. But the document(s) still remain on desktop. I go into Finder, I locate the file, press the button to move item to trash, and same procedure occurs as I mentioned (password prompt, sound, file remains).
I go through "cmd+I" on all the various files and find that under Sharing and Permissions my privilege is "Read and Write"...and when I click on my name and click on the cog/settings, the option to make me the "owner" is shaded. So I guess I don't technically own the files.
Oddly enough, if I click on any of these files, and make a copy of them and place them in another folder, those duplicate copies can be permanently deleted (dragged into trash can or deleted from the folder they are in) and yet I cannot do anything with these documents on my desktop. I am still asked to provide a password so Finder can make changes...but the file can never be deleted.
I really am at a loss here, so any help would be appreciated. Can someone walk me through a procedure please? Is there a program I have to download to rid myself of them?

sigh...this is quite idiotic, but I have found a solution. It was quite simple, really, and yet quite idiotic. I share it for all those reading so that, if you know of anyone else that did what i did, you can easily be the "hero" in their lives.
After a continued search via youtube or what have you for any possible solutions, I kept coming back to the fact that I was told by my computer that I didn't have "permission" to do the file deletion. I stumbled upon a youtube video that talked about "unlocking", "locking", certain files and what not.
Long story short, the reason why I couldn't do anything to the files that were on my desktop was due to my "locking" the desktop folder. I must have done this a while back not knowing what I was doing nor the ramifications of clicking a simple box.
I undid this by:
Opening Up Finder
then, going to MacHD --> Users --> My Account Folder
clicking on Desktop Folder, I "cmd+I"
I then, unclicked the "locked" option
I went down to the cog/settings and selected "Apply to enclosed items"
resulting then in having all my files on my desktop free accessiblity and delete-ability....
oi...at least I now know what "locking" a folder (even the desktop folder) can do to other files held within it

Opening .docs and other text documents

How do I make pages the default application for opening word documents and other text documents. Everything still opens in the text edit program, especially things from emails that are .docs, which is really annoying.

In Finder select a suitable file:
+Menu > File > Get info (cmd I) > Open with: > Other… > find pages in (Applications > iWork) > > Click on the Change All button underneath in the Info panel+

How can I get firefox to not save pdf files (such as bank statements I have looked at) to my documents and settings/temp folder?

I just realized that some (but not all pdf files that I have opened) pdf files of bank statements as well as other pdf files that I have opened when browsing with firefox have been saved to my documents and settings/temp folder. I am concerned about this for security of my data, but also confused as to why all of these documents (as well as some word documents and other types of non .tmp files) are being stored here. Please tell me how to stop this from happening.
Thank you,
Wimajeanne

I can understand that they would appear there if I have the document open, or have recently viewed it. These documents are over a month old, some are over a year old.
Also, it is not just PDF files, I also see word docs and java.exe files in this folder. None of these files have the %temp% in the title as they do when I have a particular document open, rather they are a copy of the file or document that I have saved to my data file.
My main concern is the security of information when random PDF and doc files are stored here without my knowledge.
Thank you.

Is the disk equal to log files and other questions?

In the web page http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/GettingStartedGuide/introduction.html#dplfeatures, there is a statement, " The checkpointer is responsible for flushing database data to *disk* that was written to cache as the result of a transaction commit ".
I wonder if the disk here means log files under the JE home directory.
From my understanding of these documents and other web resources, the check pointer is to write records in Cache to Log files (disk), and then cleaner is to reorganize and then to remove unused log files. For the records in a Cache, they are brought from disk to Cache by querying the index organized in a B-Tree structure, and the In-Compressor is to delete some empty internal nodes of B-Tree.
I wonder if the above is right to describe relations among these components, check pointer, cleaner, B-Tree and In-Compressor.
Thanks for your help!

Jiangfan

I can open some pages documents, but others I cannot.

I can open some pages documents and others I cannot. This just started. I have a mac os x 10.9.4. It says I don't have any updates available. I have no idea why this is happening. Please advise. Thanks!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this mess that Apple has created, review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

Hi skydivingsnowman,
I'm sorry you're having such trouble using the ExportPDF service. What browser are you using?
Please try clearing your browser cache, or using a different browser (here's a list of supported browsers: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
Please let me know if that works.

Launch iTunes on your Mac, plug your phone in, select it in the sidebar, select what you want to sync under the various tabs, hit the sync button. If the sidebar is not visible, go up to the "View" menu & select "Show Sidebar".

My Numbers program changed yesterday while I was working on a document and now I can't open it. I get a message telling me I need a newer version to open the document. All the others seem to open OK. I HAVE NOT PURCHASED THE NEW VERSION. What happened

OK, this is the first time I have used this so I may not have started correctly, so here goes another try. I opened a Numbers Document and noticed the presentation was different from when I worked it before. Since there have been a number of auto updates since I had worked in Numbers, I assumed I had an updated program. I found it hard to figure out so I closed the document and went on to other things. When I went back to it I found a message saying I needed a newer version of the program to open it. Fortunately, the document was backed up and when I opened the backup it came in my familiar form. I have not purchased the new version of Numbers but suspect that is what was using for that brief period yesterday. Anyone know haw that happened?

Hi Sailor,
It is pretty amazing you got a new version without even knowing it.
In System Preferences > App Store you can turn off the automatic updates by unchecking "Install app updates" as I've done here:
If you're using Numbers across platforms and displaying dynamic output on the iPad or doing data entry there, you'll be *much* happier with Numbers 3.0 than the old version. If you're doing a lot of traditional printing of heavily formatted documents, the old version is much better. For most day-to-day uses in between it's a toss-up. The new version, despite its flaws, is a powerful application that can enhance productivity in ways the old version can't.
For more on the differences between the two, see the features gained, features lost, and workarounds threads, plus Apple's support document on features to be reintroduced in the coming months .

How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

In addition to the last poster's suggestion - just so you know, it also depends on the email program the recipient uses as to how they will see any attachments - for instance, when I am using my Yahoo Mail, I am absolutely unable to view any attachment within the browser window - Yahoo forces me to download it; there is no way for me to check it (like a preview) to see if I want to download it or not.
And, FWIW: the window shown in the screenshot does not show on my version of Mail 5.1 (which is the latest for 10.7.2); the only one similar shows when viewing a message received with an attachment, not while sending one. So that must be a different version.

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos, documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want to move those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again to another external hard drive 1T. My question is:

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?

Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format.

Bookmarks document (and possibly others) does not update in profile folder

''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/906182''
In the course of locating my Firefox profile so that I could back it up to Mozy, I discovered that the Firefox document that contains my bookmarks, located in C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\779klznm.default, is not up to date. Nor is the Firefox document containing bookmarks located in C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.s9s up to date.
When my browser is open, the bookmarks that I see when I click on Bookmarks are up to date. Why is that not reflected in my profile? And, if my bookmarks are not up to date in my profile, I wonder what else is not up to date, like my search engines, add-ons, etc.
I also tried backing up in my bookmarks library, but the backups go to my desktop as a JSON file.
Can someone please tell me what to do to make sure all my Firefox settings are up to date in my profile?
Thanks,
Ellen

Your bookmarks and browsing history are stored in a file named '''places.sqlite''' in your Profile folder.
Bookmark backups are in bookmarks.json format, and Firefox automatically does daily backups and stores 10 backups in the \bookmarkbackups\ folder in the Profile folder.
BTW, August 2008 was probably the last time that Profile was used in a Firefox 2.0 version. The sqlite storage was first implemented in Firefox 3.0.
