Opening downloaded NIN file in GarageBand2?

Hello, I'm new to Macs so bare with me if this is a stupid questions. I recently downloaded a nine inch nails track from there website for use in GarageBand2. It is saved on the desktop as nin_garageband.sit.exe. However, when I try to click on it, it asks me to choose an application to open this file. I'm guessing its because Macs don't like .exe files. And when I load up GarageBand and try to open an existing document, it won't let me select the sit.exe file. How do I get this sit.exe from my desktop into something I can actually use?
Thanks for the help,
Buckly

Look for Stuffit Expander in your Applications folder. If you can't find it, you can download it free, and then drag the file onto it, and it'll decompressed it for you. I think once you unstuff it, you'll have a disk image. Double click on it, and it'll mount like a CD, then drag the contents from it where ever you want to keep it. The file inside will open GarageBand and you'll see the tracks.

  • Firefox keeps asking me to open/download PHP file when it used to be able to display properly.

    I use to be able to view local PHP files normally in Firefox with the PHP parts not rendered while the HTML parts are. Now all it does is ask whether I want to open or save it.
    I've tried editing FF options so that it previews in FF but it doesn't accept any changes. I've cleared my cache and all that. I've tried deleting the mimeTypes.rdf file thing but I can't even find the folder it's in. I've tried disabling/enabling "prompts.tab_modal.enabled" in about:config and restarting FF.
    All are no-go solutions.
    Web PHP pages are loading properly, this problem only comes when I'm trying to load local PHP files. I don't want to install XAMPP or PHP on my computer just to view local files as I never had this problem before.
    In the meantime, I've installed Chrome and it's loading a simple local PHP file just fine whereas FF is asking me to save/download when opening the SAME file. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Yup, deleting mimeTypes.rdf and re-starting did the trick this time. Thanks very much!
    Also, on a somewhat related note, I cannot view mozillazine.org and any sub-domains under it in any browsers. This may be happening to other users as well?
    It's always stuck at "Waiting for ..." or "Connecting to ..." and that's it. Then FF gives up with a "Server connection time-out" notice. Clearing cache and all that doesn't work because I was trying to view those pages before starting this topic.

  • Opening downloaded pdf files using Adobe instead of in Safari

    I prefer to use full-feature Adobe software to view downloaded pdf files instead of Safari. How do I keep Safari from opening them in the browser and instead automatically open Adobe Reader when the search engine finds a pdf file?

    I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.

  • Opening downloaded .doc files

    I cannot set the default for downloaded .doc files to MS Word. Help

    daviescolin6,
    What happens when you right click on the .doc , select properties, (general tab) and view "opens with"?
    There is a change button, then select "other programs".

  • Issues opening downloaded docx files from the internet on my mac air...

    I have owned my Mac Air for nearly 1.5 yrs and never had an issue, until yestrday.
    I can download docx files from the internet no problem, but when I go to open them (after they have saved into my downloads folder) a pop-up window with "convert file from" appears? Alas I can not open any downloaded docx files from the internet/email etc! This is making work very difficult.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    that explains a lot, you didnt mention that critical part before.  I upload a lot to FTP sites as well
    originals fine.... but thru the server theyre corrupted, .....that narrows everything down.
    have you contacted sys admin for the server about this?

    My file is a interactive magazine!!
    Thanks
    PS: I'm french, so please could you explain me in cool english!

    If you can convert a .swf file to PDF, you would be able to open it in iBooks.
    Apparently those converters do exist.
    Google or similar are your friends.

  • Problem opening downloaded PDF files

    When I click on a PDF link in Safari, I would normally expect the document to open with Acrobat 7.0.
    What is happening now, is that the screen changes to 'browse' option asking me to identify which application will open the PDF. When I click on Acrobat 7.0, the screen goes blank.
    So, basically, I can't open downloaded PDFs from Safari, (though it's Ok with Opera, Firefox etc)
    In the Acrobat prefs, in the internet settings, 'Display PDF in browser using: Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional (7.0.0)' is checked.
    Mac Power PC, 2G RAM, OSX 10.4.11; Safari 3.2.1, Acrobat 7.0.0

    Do you have more that one version of Acrobat or reader loaded?
    Only one is certified to work at a time.

  • Mac OS X, PSE 6.0 won't open downloaded .asl files

    Down loaded fx .asl files, moved them to the Styles fill but I can't get them to open by any path. New brushes, gradients and patterns, all fine.

    Hi Gwena,<br /><br />In case of layer styles (unlike brushes) you need to add metadata corresponding to the .asl file you are trying to add.<br /><br />Close PSE6 if opened.<br />Now add your .asl file for style in <system>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/6.0/Locale/en_US/Photo Creations/Layer Styles/<br /><br />Now you need to add metadata for the asl file you just added. For this, you need to goto <system>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/6.0/Locale/en_US/Photo Creations Metadata/Layer Styles/<br />Copy paste an existing xml file there(say 'Bevels.xml'). Now open the xml file you just created using Notepad. You will see two places where layer stle name is listed: 'CatBevels' and 'Bevels'. Replace 'Bevels' with the name of your style using exactly the same word structure. For example : 'CatNewStyle' and 'New Style'<br />Save the changes.<br /><br />Now you need to rebuild the MediaDatabase. To do so, goto <system>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/6.0/Locale/en_US and rename MediaDatabase.db3 to MediaDatabaseOLD.db3<br />Restart PSE6. It will take some time to open as it builds new Contents and Effects.<br /><br />You can find the new style listed with the PSE's default style in Effect pallet now.

  • Error while opening downloaded excle file.

    Hi,
    I have an interesting issue.
    In my scenario I am downloading characteristics value from COID.
    Through background job we are getting that report in our Out look mail box. Report format is XLS.
    While opening the attached XLS file we are getting one message.
    The message is as follows
    The file is not in a recognizable format
    • If you know the file is from another program which is incompatible with Microsoft excel click cancel, then open this file in its original application. If you want to open the file later in Microsoft excel. Save it in a format that is compatible, such as text format.
    • If you suspect the file is damaged, click help for more information about solving the problem.
    • If you still want to see what text is contained in the file, click OK. Then click finish in the text import wizard
    if we ok it the file is opening properly
    So My question is Can we avoid this message ?

  • Acrobat 9.0 opens (downloads) server file in temporary folder

    Using Acrobat 9.0 (Windows Sharepoint server environment) to open files stored on the server downloads them into a temporary folder on my local computer. Unfortunately, this means that internal links/bookmarks using relative addressing to other files on the server are misdirected:
         SECURITY WARNING   
         This document is trying to connect to file:///.../Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/.../filename.pdf:
    I did not experience this behavior with Acrobat 7.0. Is it not possible to open a file in a browser without downloading it? Is there a setting either in Acrobat or Internet Explorer to bypass downloading to my local drive?

    Back to the future!
    As a principal developer in our Sharepoint environment, I routinely used Acrobat 9 Pro to modify documents on our corporate intranet. Other uses, however, accessed the same documents with Reader working entirely within their browser. My workaround  has been to re-install Acrobat 7. Documents now open entirely in the browser, and relative links work as before.

  • My Firefox has started opening downloaded PDF files in a creen with no option to save or print them. How can I fix this?

    I get my bills etc electronically. I then download them and save them to a file on my computer. Firefox is now opening them in a window that has only the PDF and an address bar, the "File Edit View, etc" at the top of the screen is missing and I can't figure out how to save these files.

    Hi rjwwalker3-
    It is possible to adjust your preferences for files, and what Firefox does with them. Here is an article on how to adjust your preferences when dealing with files:

  • Trouble opening downloaded class files

    Hello,
    I am trying to add a simple scroller to my website, however when I download the class files Dreamweaver automatically tries to open them and they are jibberish. What program do I use to open these files?
    Thanks

    You should either use the classes as-is in your own program/applet according to the documentation, or you should be looking for the source (.java) files for those classes. Compiled classes can't be opened into something understandable by humans (unless you decompile them).

  • Opening downloaded dmg files

    Any file that I download that is dmg will not open. I get the message that it failed to mount. If I check get info on the file it says it should open with disk image mounter. when I click on it it eventually says device not configured. I tried opening the disk utility, but it would only let me choose the entire hard drive, not an idividual file.
    what should I do to get these files to open?

    If it keeps coming back after the first time for that app, then try repairing permissions using Disk Utlity.
    It will report a lot of stuff that you can safely ignore.  I'm not sure if it will fix the problem, but it might.
    The Quarantine attribute is supposed to be stripped off when you OK it, but it appears it is not. It could be a problem with permissions that is preventing the attribute from being removed.

  • Opening downloaded executable files

    For some reason all the files I download are set to be opened by Toast. I can't seem to get this to change. I want to be able to install programs again! Help!
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You can change the application associated with any file by selecting the file and pressing COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired application from the drop down menu. To associate that application with all similar files click on the Change All button.
    In OS X file associations are usually created by the file's extension - .doc, .dmg, .jpg, etc. The Open With option is then used to associate files with the same extension to the same application, e.g., .doc and Microsoft Word, .dmg with Installer.
    As an alternative you can download the freeware utility RCDefaultApp. It's a preference pane that can be used to set up virtually any and all types of associations and defaults.
