Software to open a XFDL file
I am trying to open an XFDL file, used for military forms. Form viewer will not work. I have mounted the image in addition to many other things. I have a CAC card reader and I still cant find a program. Any suggestions?
I have same issue trying to work on Air Force Officer Performance Report with the XFDL ext. I tired Adobe reader 9 & Word 2011 both gave error message & couldn't open file.
Apple TextEdit was able to open - you could rescue some text if needed but to wade through the lines of code to extract large amount of text or to attempt edit would be a nightmare.
Unfortunately best option I've found thus far is to use emulator like Parallels or VMWare Fusion and run the blasted GOV MIL program shackled to Windows. Grrrr
I do have an old Mac version of IBM Workplace Forms Viewer (2006?) however it will only allow you to view NOT edit or even print or save the forms. If you only want to view that might be an option if the pgm is even available anymore? It was once a free download on a GOV grants site.

Software to open McDraw image files
Need Tiger 10.4.11 compatible software to open MacDraw image files created in 1985-88 period that were used in a book I authored.
Appleworks cannot 'see' them. Any ideas short of tearing a book apart and scanning them.. which would preclude being able to alter them.http://www.purgatorydesign.com/Intaglio/

Image files may also be opened by http://www.lemkesoft.com/ 's GraphicConverter if they are non-vector in origin. -

I must be doing something wrong because none of the Adobe software can open my RAW files.
None of the adobe software recognize the RAW files from my Nikon D7100. I had no problems opening raw files from my D5000. I even tried to convert them to DNG but that didn't work either. I have used Lightroom, Photoshop CC, Bridge, Photoshop Elements 13, Photoshop 8. I wasn't able to see my Raw files in windows either until I downloaded NEC codec...and, of course, I can see them in the Nikon software. I have 8 folders of pics taken with the new camera. In the last folder, I can see and work with my RAW files and in one folder, there is one RAW file I can work with. All the rest are blank and won't open. In one folder, Lightroom won't even show the JPEGs. I shoot in RAW + (JPEG) FINE. I've downloaded all the files the same way. I will try to download them again, but not all of them are still on the card. I even tried to convert them to DNG, but if they can't be seen as RAW, they won't convert to DNG. The D7100 has been out for a while, so I can't believe that Adobe wouldn't work for it.

The IMG_6564.CR2 file on dropbox is corrupted in that it is missing most of the raw data which is why PS and LR cannot open it. For this specific file, at least, the camera-embedded-jpg preview is intact and can be extracted, so while not as good as the raw file, it is better than nothing.
Here is what IrfanView shows for the raw image:
Here is the camera-embedded jpg-preview as show in Windows Photo Viewer:
I was able to extract the camera-embedded jpg preview using EXIF Tool, with the following command:
exiftool -b -PreviewImage -w _preview.jpg -ext cr2 -r ./.
where ./.means the current folder in the CMD window. If the images were in a different folder, for example C:\Pictures, then the last part of the command would be -r C\Pictures
This created a IMG_6564_preview.jpg from the original IMG_6564.CR2 file.
The next step is to copy all the metadata over from the CR2 to its corresponding preview.jpg file:
exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%-.8f.cr2 -all:all -r -overwrite_original -ext jpg ./.
You can read about these two commands, here:http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/exiftool-commands.html#extract
ExifTool can be downloaded from the Windows Executable box near the top of the page at the following website, and once you download the extiftool-whatever.zip then extract exfitool(-k).exe then rename exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe and copy it to the folder where your CR2 files reside then run the two commands, above to extract all the embedded previews:

Finally, it would be wise to determine why the files are corrupted. Usually it is the memory card, itself, that is going bad. Are all the images bad or just one here and there? -
How to Open a rar file with downloaded software
I was bothering this forum yesterday trying to find some way to get a file opened that I had downloaded. Today I discovered that my problem was that "rar" files need their own software to enable them to be opened....So I downloaded the software UnRarX...and it is now sitting on the bottom of my desktop...but I can not get the software into the Applications folder, and so I can not figure out how to use this little package of software to open my "rar" files...
What do I have to do to open my files with this new software???
Thanks..
MiguelHI,
The UnRarX application should be accessible from your Dock after installing the software. The application icon looks like this:
"How to extract a rar archive?"
1. Launch UnRarX.
2. Drag rar archive into the UnRarX window.
3. Extraction begins automatically.

NeoOffice is slow compared to some programs, but it is the most accurate at opening Excel spreadsheets.
iWork does not open spreadsheets because it does not have a spreadsheet program. Check back in January to see if Apple add a spreadsheet to iWork '07, and in the meantime let Apple know that you want one.

I am trying to update Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS6, because it is not opening my CR2 files taken by my Canon 6D. I have tried to go to help > updates, and the software says that it is "Up to Date". However, if I view the plug-in, it says that Camera Raw is only version 7.1. I can not find a direct download for Camera Raw 7.3, only the DNG converter, NOT CAMERA RAW! Please Help!

I was having issues with illustrator and it was time to upgrade anyway, so I uninstalled all previous versions of Adobe and upgraded to CC. Now I'm trying to open my old files and the exact error reads, "Could not read the fiel because the plug-in could not understand this file." What plug-in do I need to download? And why wasn't this part of the package in the first place?
Jeannie,
The three step reinstallation may be relevant.
But you could try to create a new document and File>Place the troublesome one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
If it is a corrupt file, there are some more things to try, but in this case it might take too much of the little time before your deadline.
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11' -

Is Final Cut Pro the only software that can open video .MXF files for Macs?
Hello,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Trying to find software that will edit .MXF Video Files to work with Mac.
As the edit is simple, prefer iMovie, but happy if the Conversion software only works with FCExpress (or even FCPro if that is the only alternative).
1. If it matters, .MXF (Material Exchange Format) Video files came from shooting on a Panasonic 500 P2. Originally downloaded onto a Windows system, using Adobe Premiere.
2. I just want to see and convert some of the shots I did for my Reel, etc., but I have a Mac.
3. I have iMovie HD, iMovie 09, and FCExpress (which I don't know how to use that well).
4. When I attach an External HD with backup files of all the footage shot, they show up named as .MXF files. They appear as VLC files (VLC icon), but the suffix is .MXF.
5. When I try to play them as VLC files, they won't play. It seems they start to play, but then the VLC software quits.
6. So I have tried downloading some software on the Internet that Google says converts .MXF files.
I tried: iSkysoft Video Converter, AVCWare Mac Video Converter, MPEG Streamclip, and a couple others. They all seem to have basically the same conversion setups, but when I click to pick one .MXF file, none of them recognize it. (The file in my Browse window is greyed out).
7. MoyaVideo Converter for Mac recognizes the .MXF file, but when I hit the "conversion" button - I tried a couple different settings, all it seems to convert is the first frame. Even if the .MXF file says a clip is 123MB or 43 seconds long, etc.
8. I can't even watch the clip in Preview. Press Play and it is just the first frame.
9. I have read elsewhere in these forums, some people touting conversion software from a company in Germany - mfxformac. I am fine with paying for conversion software, but $500?
10. And I have read elsewhere that only Final Cut Pro has a codec that will open .MXF files. If this is so, why do the above companies claim to have software that opens .MXF files for Mac?
11. Isn't there a further problem if I can't even see the video using VLC? Or is that because I am using Mac and need FCPro with the right codec?
Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.MXF files from P2 can only be imported using FCP. iMovie can't, nor FCE...if you are talking about APPLE software. Avid deals with MXF files natively. But FCP will ONLY import them if the entire P2 card structure is intact. Please tell me that you have the entire P2 card backups. If not, then it won't work. If you do...then here is the process for importing into FCP:
P2 Workflow with FCP 6
3. I have iMovie HD, iMovie 09, and FCExpress (which I don't know how to use that well).
Then you need someone to provide you with QT files of this footage. None of them work with P2.
NONE of the converters you listed will work... Sorry.
9. I have read elsewhere in these forums, some people touting conversion software from a company in Germany - mfxformac. I am fine with paying for conversion software, but $500?
That software is to get it to work with Final CUt Pro natively. What it doesn't do is convert the footage to QTs. There is also Raylight and Calibrated...but again, they are for FCP.
P2 is a professional format, and to use it you need professional software. iMovie won't work...nor will FCE. If you need to work with it in those formats, you need to have someone import the files and convert them to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec).
HD Log might work...but not sure what QT format it converts to. A demo is available.

MAC PRO10.6.8 just downloaded file sent 5/2010 "BoogieWoogie" (1-wmv) I could play it then, but now it says I cannot open because its not in a format that Quicktime Player understands that I have to install addit'l software to open this type of file??? WHAT software and WHERE do I find it to download?
calico6Free VLC player for the Mac, check out the Icecast Radio Directory also
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
And if it's copy protected then
http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
If anyone is running 10.8. or later, then they might have to right or control click on the installer or app to "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper controls at least once, then it learns it's a ok to be trusted program. -

Open a .bbb files with another software than Link to retrieve drafts
Hello,
I have a Blackberry Q10 which is synchronized with an Exchange account for my work email. I did a full backup of the phone via Blackberry Link before making an update.
My problem, this shift has removed my drafts that existed only on my phone. Usually to made a "memo" I create a new email, I mark the info and I "save" without send. It displays with my other emails but not sync with Exchange (I do it to prevent my very confidential info not roam on an Exchange server).
I made this shift, they disappeared ... I restored the data, they reappear not ...
2 questions at once:
- Is the backup via Link backup me these drafts?
- Is there an soft that allows me to open the file .bbb and check the contents of the backup on my pc. No obligation to restore on the BB but if I can copy that info on another place, this would be very helpful!
Thank you !Nycko wrote:
Hello,
i've already tried the software describes on the other post but they doesn't works...
Magic Berry : unable to concatene file
Blackberry Backup extractor : Doesn't support V10
ABC Amber Blackberry converter : Can't open .bbb file (only .ipd)
i've tried to rename it to .ipd, doesn't works.
I've tried to zipped it and extract the files from the zip but I've files with an extension .tar and I don't know how I can used it...
As far as I know the .BBB it is not possible to open them, it is a security feature, otherwise it would just defeat the purposse of having a secure device if you could just open a backup file
