Photos Not Being Saved As Jpgs

i do a lot of animal rescue and circulate photos which i "save as jpegs" on local shelter websites.
just in the past couple of days, when i try to save these photos, they appear on my desktop as blank icons whereas before they were showing up with the jpg icon. the only way i can get them to jpgs is to import them into iphoto but sometimes iphoto doesn't recognize them.
i know that in OS9 i used to reset the PRAM to fix the problems of blank icons but would that work in Panther?
any suggestions as to how to fix this would be much appreciated.
thanx.

Hi Jane,
I'm not sure if your question has been answered yet, but I managed to duplicate your problem, and the easy solution is below.
Despite what is listed under the "Format" drop-down menu (in this case, "JPEG Picture"), you MUST have the proper extension (either ".jpg" or ".jpeg", neither case-sensitive) typed into the filename in the "Save As..." dialog box upon initial save.
Believe it or not, OS X does utilize those little extensions (much the same way Windows does) to associate a file type with a particular application. Most of the time these filename extensions are hidden and only viewable by listing in the UNIX directory.
But by omitting the extension during the Save As, the file is only being saved as a raw binary file, and the OS does not know which application this file should open with.
Even if you choose Get Info from the Finder and choose "Open With... -> Preview", Preview only has certain file types associated with working with this program [.jpg/.jpeg, .gif, .pdf, .bmp, .pict, .psd, among others], and still cannot figure out that the file you saved (which has no extension) belongs to Preview.
Once the file is saved to your computer with the extension, you can remove the extension portion later by changing the filename as usual - by clicking on the name and typing whatever you want.
By this point, Panther has already associated the file as a JPEG to work under Preview, and will continue to have the full name of "filename.jpg" in the UNIX system.
Hope this helps...

  • Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
    LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
    done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
    highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
    the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
    clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
    to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
    highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
    little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
    original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
    previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
    the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
    reflected in the histogram.
    This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
    and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
    original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
    incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
    rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
    the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
    to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
    before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
    and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
    noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
    saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
    all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
    original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
    in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
    to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
    look the same.
    Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
    monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
    am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
    LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
    Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng  to see if
    this is a work around.
    Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
    RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
    Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
    10.10.1
    Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
    would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

  • I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

    I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

    You are referring to Photo Stream. Photo Stream syncs the photos taken with your device to all of your device.
    It's not a photo storage service, so photos are deleted 30 days after being added to Photo Stream. You can't access to your Photo Stream photos from http://www.icloud.com, but only from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (using the Photos app), Mac (using iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion) or PC (with iCloud Control Panel).
    In all of these devices, you have the option of copying them to the device, so they will be kept after 30 days

  • Messages are not being saved on N96

    On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

    I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

  • I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.

    I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.
    Also, it is not liking me adding a large ammount of images in one go?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • HT4075 I tried the steps mentioned above but the changes are not being saved.

    I am not able to edit or merge PDF files. I followed the steps mentioned in the Mac support community but the changes are not being saved. Any solution to this?

    The link you posted gives be a 404 not found message. 
    The reason you're getting the repeat is because your site name is wilgenroos.nl and the first page of your site is wilgenroos. 
    The standard URL for domain names that are forwarded with the CNAME method is:
    http://www.domain_name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
    You can change the site and page names in iWeb to give you something more informative about the site and page.
    If you're publishing to a  3rd party server and want to get rid of the site name in the url and only have
    http://www.domian_name.com/page_name.html
    do the following:
    publish the site to a folder on your hard drive (already done)
    use Cyberduck to upload just the contents of your site folder to the root folder of your account on the server.
    You should delete the old site folder and files that are currently there beforehand.

  • File Options not being saved

    I appologize if this is the wrong forum, but I did a search and failed to find a related subject.
    When I click on File>Options then modify them the way I want to, then close Designer 2008 and reopen it, they're back to the default values.
    How can I retain my options even after closing designer and reopenning?
    Thanks much!

    What version of Crystal are you using?
    Are you a local PC Administrator also?
    Try right clicking on the crw32.exe and selecting Run As Administrator and then change them.
    Are you clicking the OK or Save button after making changes or simply closing the window using top right X button?
    Those options are saved to the registry, only reason they are not being saved is you don't have permission or some anti-virus software or Restore Point is writing the original settings back when you close CR.
    You may want to check with your IT people to see if they have pushed out some sort our Profile update that doesn't allow you to keep changes to the registry.
    After making the changes and you create a new report do you see the changes? Don't close the designer.
    Thank you

  • Table extension not being saved

    Hi,
    I have implemented Table extension at item level for SC and from the config perspective all looks fine.
    1) Created Append struture with required fields
    First step: appending the field to the correct structure in SE11 or via transaction SPRO.
    Structure names for table extensions are according to the pattern:
    INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST_<y> with
    <x>: HEADER, ITEM
    2)
    Path in IMG (transaction SPRO):
    SAP SRM -> SRM server ->
    -> Cross-Application Basic Settings
    -> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization)
    -> Create Table Extensions and Supply with Data
    -> Define Customer Table Extensions on Item Level
    Second step: you additionally need to append the new table extension field to the
    corresponding INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST structure called u2018cross-documentu2019 structure. This can
    also be done in IMG
    You can explicitly enter the very same field(s) (name and type) into both append structures.
    It is recommended, however, to first create another structure with the new field (in SE11) and
    then include that other structure in both append structures
    (menu path in SE11 screen: -> Edit -> Include -> Insert).
    Default append structure names in this example are
    ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST_SC and
    ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST
    when using the IMG path..
    3)
    Third step: Set visibility of the table extension.Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).
    Donu2019t miss to populate the Transaction Type field - you could save the table entry without it,
    but it will not work!
    4)
    Fourth step: Configure Control of Fields of Table Extensions. Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).Donu2019t miss to populate the Set Level field - you could save the table entry without it, but it will not work!
    Fifth step: Configure Control of Actions
    Sixth (final) step: SM30 - maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
    I have rechecked the config several times but could not find any reason for the data not to be saved.
    When I add the data to the table structure and if click enter or check button the data disappears. The entries are not captured in BBP_PDICF  table either. i can see the Z structure in se11 for BBP_PDICF.
    I have checked doc_change badi for any issues but could not find the issue. Any idea as where I should check for the data not being saved issue?

    Hello Srinivas,
    Please do this step:
    In SM30-maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
    Object set type :TICUS
    Structure field name : custom field
    Object type : BUS2121
    set level : item
    Field visible : X
    field enable : X

  • Window preferences not being saved

    Hi there -
    Using InDesign CS4 on Windows XP.  A few days ago a problem started happening - whenever I close InDesign, my preferences for which windows (Tools, Pages, Links, Character) I have open are not being saved.  Takes me 3-4 minutes every time i open InDesign to put everything back the way it should be.
    I've installed updates, no dice, and have deleted the preferences file as suggested by this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
    Any other steps I can take?
    thanks in advance,

    Those things are saved as part of the workspace. It sounds as if the current workspace file has become corrupt. Close ID, then go to your user profile and you'll find the workspaces folder under \Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\<language>\Workspaces. Delete the "current" xml file for the workspace and restart ID. The workspace will be restored to the conditions set when it was saved, but hopefully will remember changes again when you close the program.

  • Notes are not being Saved

    Recently upgraded to an iPhone 3G S from the first generation iPhone. Synced my phone and everything is fine, but when I use the Notes application the notes are not being saved. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

    Ensure that the "sync notes" box is checked in iTunes. Also note that the notes syncing feature doesn't work very well yet.
    If you have a note on both the phone and the computer, and you change/update the one on the phone, the next time you sync the computer version will over write the phone version.

  • New bookmarks not being saved

    Beginning today my new bookmarks are not being saved. I read several KB articles and have tried:
    - making sure the bookmarks file is not read-only
    - reset browser.places in about:config
    - renamed the places.sqlite and places.sqlite-journal, and restarted Firefox.
    None of that worked.
    Is there another fix to try?

  • Settings are not being saved when i reboot

    i am having a problem when i restart my computer my settings such as dock settings background settings are not being saved how do i resolve this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Is this just for new settings that won't stick? Or have all your original settings reverted to the defaults? Have you started up from your Mac OS X install disk and used the Disk Utility to "repair disk"? Do you have a backup of your important files?

  • Flash CC crashes after publishing iOS app + publish settings are not being saved to file

    I have two issues:
    1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
    2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
    1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
    Since yesterday Flash CC keeps crashing right after I publish an iOS app. The app is published correctly though. I tried everything from restarting my MAC, reinstalling Flash, removing the folder "Flash CC 2014" inside Application Support/Adobe. But all this did not work.
    2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
    Since the first day I installed Flash CC, it did not save my publish settings along with the .fla-file. I never had this issue with Flash CS 5.5. This was not a very big issue, but now every time I publish an app and Flash CC crashes I have to fill in all the publish settings manually. Now I'm getting frustrated. Even saving my settings as a preset, storing it inside a folder and importing it again, won't help. Then I will get the message: "Import failed: invalid profile file."
    Can please anyone help me with these issues? It is quite time consuming to continuously enter the settings manually after every crash.
    Thanks!
