Problem with reading file extensions from a Fat 32 Drive

I have been copying image files from my imac 24" OSX 10.6.8 to a Maxxtor One touch external USB drive, the drive is FAT 32 format for a PC. My wife then connects the same drive to her laptop which is running Windows 7. She then sorts the images into different folder gives me back the drive to have more loaded to sort. The problem is when I get the drive back all the image files have a funny little box behind the file extension and the preview icon is blank with a exe in green, the file info says it's a Unix extension.
I tried to remove the little box and open the .tif file or .jpg files and all I get is a image is not readable. The same drive can be mounted back to my wife's laptop and the images open up just fine in Windows media viewer.
What's going on here and how do I fix and prevent this from happening again?
Thanks!
Pat

So No one has any ideas on how this is happening and how to go about repairing the problem.
The trouble as I see it comes up once she moves the files into another folder on Maxxtor drive when it's hooked up to the Win 7 laptoop. The Data then is unuseable on my Mac from that point on.
I need to know WHY so I can aviod this from happening again, and how to fix currently there is 250 GB of image files I can not access on my Mac and I still have about 2 TB of image files to go through, and THEY ALL NEED TO BE ACCESSABLE.
Anybody?

Problem with reading files from folders - please help

Hi!
I have 2 folders (folder1 and folder2) on 2 different locations. Now i will say few things about my program.
First folder is input folder. Different applications generate XML files and put them inside folder1.
Then i have my application which i use to manipulate with those folders. Basically, i have 2 threads. One is checking if there are files in folder1 and other thread is moving manipulated files from folder1 to folder2.
I face this problem. XML files are much faster generated then manipulated. Example: for every 3 incoming files into folder1 i have 1 manipulated and stored file into folder2. This way i face problem that some older files are never manipulated, they are stuck in folder1 basically forever.
Could someone help me to solve this problem? I do not know how to select files form folder1 ordered by "date modified time".
Tnx for your time and help!

Do not crosspost! I'll lock this thread.

Problem with reading special char from file

Hello Oracle community,
Got a problem when reading from a file. I am using a croatian keyboard and trying to read special charachters (ČĆŽŠĐ) from a file.
declare
l_file utl_file.file_type;
s varchar2(200);
begin
l_file := utl_file.fopen('test_dir', 'test.txt', 'R');
loop
    utl_file.get_line(l_file, s);
    dbms_output.put_line(s);
end loop;
exception
when no_data_found then
    utl_file.fclose(l_file);
end;But I keep getting this in dbms_output: ČĆĐ. For some reason it keeps skipping 2 chars Š and Ž. If I try to insert or update data the values are show correctly. What could be the cause of such a problem?
Best regards,
Igor

Problem with Reader file when we try to save a pdf version of filled in file.

We currently create fillable forms in Acrobat XI and enable them for fill-in with Acrobat Reader. Our end users are able to key information and save it to the enabled pdf file with Reader, but they want to create a protected version of the form so nothing can be modified once they have approved it. They have been creating "locked" pdf versions of the completed form using CutePdf software. The PDF files they are creating open fine with Acrobat Pro XI or our free FoxIT reader, but when we try to open the files they created with CutePDF with Acrobat Reader, they are quite distorted. According to users, this worked with older versions of Acrobat Reader. Please let us know if you have any suggestions (other than switching from Acrobat Reader to the free FoxIT reader.
Thanks for the help!!

Can't endorse FoxIt or CutePDF, since I don't use either of them, and Adobe doesn't like us endorsing thrid party products in their forums anyway. On top of that I know several people who had really bad adware experiences with FoxIt, so I'd say stay away from it.
Most likely neither of these software developers has updated THIER software to work with Acrobat/Reader XI and the problem lies with them, since PDF is an Adobe format and they must follow the lead from here, not vice-versa.

Problems with specifying File Extension of E-Mail attachment

Hi everybody
I have a problem that seems to be so simple that it almost drives me crazy that I cannot find a solution for it.
I need to send the content of an internal table (some lines) as a mail attachment to a specified mail address.
The format should be normal ASCII, so when I open it with any text editor (e.g. Notepad), I want to have all my lines there (including CR/LF).
The problem now is - The extension of this mail attachment must be ".key", so the attached file should have the name "L_12345.key" (for example).
For E-Mailing I use FM "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1".
This part works fine, also the attachment part works in general. (I receive the mail and I receive the attachment).
BUT I get either an attachment with the name "L_12345.txt" or "L_12345.key.txt" and in correct format, or I get an attachment "L_12345.key", where the name is correct but format is wrong (no CR/LF - everything in one line).
Example:
=======
Attachment-Content should be:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Name of Attachment should be: L_12345.key
What I tried:
TEST 1 **
Declare Attachment in Packing list. ..
ls_packing_list-transf_bin   = ' '.
ls_packing_list-head_start   = 1.
ls_packing_list-head_num     = 0.
ls_packing_list-body_start   = 7. "Startline of Attachment
ls_packing_list-body_num     = 3. "No of Attachment lines
ls_packing_list-doc_type     = 'RAW'.
ls_packing_list-doc_size     = 3 * 255.
ls_packing_list-obj_name     = 'ATT01'.
ls_packing_list-obj_descr    = 'L_12345'   "Attachment name
APPEND ls_packing_list TO lt_packing_list.
==> Result: Attachment Filename = L_12345.txt
==> File as I need it (ASCII with CR/LF), but extension wrong
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
TEST 2 **
Same as TEST 1, but with:
ls_packing_list-obj_descr    = 'L_12345.KEY'   "Attachment name
==> Result: Attachment Filename = L_12345.KEY.txt
==> File as I need it (ASCII with CR/LF), but extension wrong
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
TEST 3 **
Declare Attachment in Packing list. ..
ls_packing_list-transf_bin   = ' '.
ls_packing_list-head_start   = 1.
ls_packing_list-head_num     = 0.
ls_packing_list-body_start   = 7. "Startline of Attachment
ls_packing_list-body_num     = 3. "No of Attachment lines
ls_packing_list-doc_type     = 'KEY'.
ls_packing_list-doc_size     = 3 * 255.
ls_packing_list-obj_name     = 'ATT01'.
ls_packing_list-obj_descr    = 'L_12345'. "Attachment name
APPEND ls_packing_list TO lt_packing_list.
==> Result: Attachment Filename = L_12345.KEY
==> File Format is wrong:
    Line 1          Line 2     Line3
I have tried several other Extensions (DOC_TYPE), it seems, that the File format is only correct with "RAW", but it seems with "RAW" SAP adds ".txt" as extension to the filename.
Does anyone know how I can achieve having an e-mail attachment with multiple text lines and name "<anyname>.key"
Any help (if possible with example code ?) would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks
Harald

Problem with AI File extension association

I have Adobe CS4 and for some reason, my computer doesn't recognize Adobe Illustrator as the default program for .ai files. Instead, it lists AIRegedit.exe.
When I open up the Properties, it displays in the type of file field "example.ai" as an .ai file instead of the normal Adobe Illustrator Document.
When I open up "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program" .ai files are listed as "AI File" instead of "Adobe Illustrator Document."
Usually the icon for an Illustrator document is an orange square with inner white lettering, but now it is a white block with a small orange square inside.
I'm novice when it comes to Regedit, so I'm wondering if anyone has had similar problems or suggestions on how I could fix this file extension problem.
Thanks!

something got messed up, usually re-starting is the miracle fix for a number of windows issues. If it does not get fix by itself try this:
right click on an AI file, in the context menu choose "Open With", then go down to "Chose Program...". Find AI CS4, select it by clicking once and make sure to check "Always use selected program...."

Problems with processing files uploaded from Safari browsers

I have a jsp that allows users to upload files via a secure form and the standard html <input type=”file” … > tag.
For complex reasons I need to get the contents of the HttpServletRequest into a character array. Basically my code looks like this:
BufferedReader reader = request.getReader();
char[] ba = (char[]) Array.newInstance(char.class, MAXFILESIZE);
int total = 0;
int charsRead =0;
while ((charsRead = reader.read(ba, total, 1024)) > -1)
total += charsRead;
When the request is submitted by a Safari browser, approximately 70% of the time, the very first reader.read does not return a result. After about 2 minutes, I get a SocketTimeoutException. On the client side, Safari shows a “loading ….” Message and after 5 minutes reverts to a blank screen – unsurprisingly since the server never serves up a response.
By way of comparison, when the transaction is successful, the process takes less than 1 second.

This problem occurs regardless of file size and even if Safari is told to report itself as firefox. This problem has not once occurred with any of IE 5,6 or 7 or Firefox 1.* and 2.*
I have not been able to test this with Safari 3 Beta for Mac or Windows.
Environment:
Client is Mac OS-X 10.4.10 with Safari: 2.0.4
Server is Websphere 5.1

Since a few hours, I have the same problem like you. I uninstalled Firefox, because I thought it was a problem with it, but then i started Safari to redownload Firefox and guess what happened.. nothing. I can't download anything. don't know why. does anyone know whats wrong??

Problem with reading file:// hyperlinks.

Hello all,
Version of Reader: 10.1.3
I have a pdf document with some hyperlinks to a file:// locations (locations to other pdfs on hard disk). While clicking into that file:// location, I have got the message:
" Security Warning.
This document is trying to connect to:
file://C:/Documents and Setting/38432.pdf
If you trust this site, chose Allow. If you do not trust this site, choose Block.
[checkbox] Remember this action for this site for all PDF documents."
The problem is that message is always poping up neither I click Allow or Block with checked checkbox to remember the action.
When I click into http:// hyperlink in PDF document, that message is poping up only once, and remember the action when I check remember-checkbox.
Anyone knows how to force Reader to remember that hyperlinks in PDF documents to file:// protocol are safe and Allow them to by trusted?

thanx for that. i had an initialization problem that is now fixed
the new problem is that. I have a client server and i download file from the server to the client. file can be any format so I use byte streams. now what happens is that I start reading streams from the file and packetize them , keep sending them to the client . my npacket siz eis variable . but when the last packet is written into the file at client it adds some garbage to that.
the code lokks like this
int rem_bytes = packetcount;
int no_bytes = Math.min(packetcount,1024);
DatagramPacket receivePacket2;
int count=0;
while ( count < total )
receivePacket2 = new DatagramPacket(receiveData2,receiveData2.length);
clientSocket.receive(receivePacket2);
myfile.write( receivePacket2.getData() );
count++;
rem_bytes -= no_bytes;
no_bytes = Math.min(rem_bytes,1024);
} // END WHILE LOOP
is there a way i sould tell the client to pick only a specified number of bytes from the last packet.

TS1702 I'm at a dead end - developer not fixing the problem with downloading file transfers from QuickVoice to the computer. How do I report. I see the purchase history in itunes, but there is no place to report a problem.

QuickVoice does not auto transfer files to the computer. When contacting the developer they send you a lync to a transfer file. My anti-viral software says its infected with a Trojan Horse. QuickVoice says to ignore. I question this..... And AVG my anti-viral softward puts it in a vault and won't let you ignore. I have tons of voice recordings I need to get to my computer. Help Apple with the developer you have approved to sell on iTunes.

If you haven't already resolved the problem, go to <https://discussions.apple.com/message/20794011#20794011> to learn how to use FunBox to transfer QV files to computer.

Problem with .mov files exported from Quicktime working with iMovie

Since iMovie won't input .mpg files, it has been my practice to use Quicktime Pro to convert the .mpg to a .mov file and then import the .mov file into iMovie. With Quicktime 10 (no longer a Pro version), when I follow this procedure I get a .mov file that iMovie refuses to import. Why is this?

I am having the same issue. Just purchased QT7 Pro. Converted .3GP format to .mov and cannot open in iMovie. Have you found an answer?

Anyone experiencing problems with Keynote files transferring from email?

What exactly did you do? The best way to update ACR is to go to Help>Updates in the editor, which should have brought you to 7.4.

Problem with MacBook Repair Extension Program for Hard Drive Issues

I have a macbook that would be covered by the program (http://www.apple.com/support/macbook/hd/repairextension/).
Since I bought it Nov 2006, it is not covered by the 3 year extension, but (to me) it looks like it is covered by the sentence +"or until August 15, 2010, whichever provides longer coverage.+"
Apple Italy is currently refusing to apply the coverage, saying that only the 3 years coverage applies.
So why do Apple wrote "whichever provides longer coverage"?
To my laptop, longer coverage means August 15, 2010.
Isn't it?
Help needed! ... and really much appreciated!

Nobody from Apple here (at least officially). We're all users just like you. I guess if Apple in Italy doesn't want to replace your hard drive, that's the end of the story. As I mentioned, hard drives are cheap now. The real question is your data on the present hard drive. If the computer still boots, I would strongly suggest you try to backup your data ASAP.
I agree that this issue comes down to "whichever provides longer coverage". However, that aside, I have Apple Care on my MB and it only covers me for 3 years. Since I bought my MB in Nov '07, I'm covered until Nov '10. It doesn't make a lot of sense that you would be covered for a longer period than my Apple Care (which again is 3 years).

I was having an issue opening a spreadsheet with the file extension .xlsm. This appears as an attachment from a client which means macros were utilized when creating the spreadsheet. The problem lies in. The iPads ability to open the attachment. I downloaded the numbers app thinking this would be a default software to open any and all spreadsheets.
Please Help!
Ipad 2- iOS5

You may need a version without macros on it. Unfortunately, pretty much all apps are skinned down versions of their original program, often with less functionality. For example in a word document I can italicize,bold and underline, but I only have a handful of fonts to play with and I don't think I can insert tables or images.
It is very possible that the app simply cannot run macros, which means that document may never work on an iPad.
