Stuck on file type

I have seen the cnet video on how to create ringtones. He is using windows vista in the demonstration. I have windows xp. So, when he shows dragging the ringtone you have made to the desktop and changing the file type there to M4R, it shows on his desktop the file name being right there on the desktop. Mine only shows the file name, not the type so how do I change the file type on windows xp?

It also tells you to go to the control panel too appearance and personality, go to folder then view and uncheck box to hide ext for known file. I cannot find it. I am assuming its the control panel for the computer right?

  • Newbie stuck - how do I change the file type of a photo I am formatting from a TIFF to a JPG?

    I am new to Aperture and struggling to figure out some of the basics, even with the tutorials.  I need to submit a photo for an art competition - the master is a TIFF and I need a JPG under 1.8 MB - how do I change the new version's file type and keep it with the master?
    Thank you in advance.

    I can't recommend the method proposed by Carolyn Samit; in fact, I recommend ignoring it.
    Aperture is large, complex, and can take some time to learn to use.  It is also quite powerful, and can handle nearly all -- or all -- common tasks you throw at it.
    I have written a very short guide to Aperture which was intended to provide some firm footing for those getting started.  I humbly suggest that you start with a quick review.
    One of the things that presents a bit of disorientation for new users is that, in practice, Aperture keeps your pictures in a kind of limbo.  There are good reasons for this -- suffice it for now to accept that you import image-format digital files into Aperture, you use Aperture to organize and optimize these as Images, and then when need a file to use outside of Aperture, you export you Image.  It is at export that you format your Image: you select the file type, the compression amount, the file name, the file size, and more.
    In your case, then, you will export your Version, and set the file type to TIFF (recommended above JGP whenever quality is paramount). There is no way to know the file size in bytes prior to creating it.  Start with a full-size TIFF and, if necessary, knock it down by percentage until the exported file is less than 1.8 MB.
    There is no reason to attempt to keep this file with the Image in Aperture.  Send it on its way.  Any time you need another file from your Image, you can create it fresh via "File→Export→Version".
    HTH.  If it doesn't, ask more.

  • File type m2t is choppy during playback

    Hi,
    I've read many post on choppy playback for different file types but not found many solutions to the problems.
    My Story:
    I have Pr CS4 running on Windows 7 x64. PC Spec Quad Core 2.5G, 4G DDR2 RAM + Onboard Geforce 7100 (Dedicated RAM for this card).
    I attempt to play raw m2t files through Pr source and timeline windows without any modification... using the default window layout. The results are choppy video with audio playing fine. This is like many other people but not seen anyone with this issue using m2t as far as I've searched. AVCHD is causing many issues and it looks like the same problems.
    I have a work around that helps but is not ideal though. If I reduce the playback window to 25% it works fine. Audio and video in sync as far as I can tell... but thats the problem, it's a little to small for me.
    My question is like many others - does anyone know what could be causing this? I've read that Pr CS4 itself is causing the issue... This may be true as I've played back at full screen via VLC and windows media player. I've also renamed the files to mpeg as someone suggested but that gave me the same results.
    The kicker is that I've run the same files under a WinXP OS on the same system (32bit version so less RAM available!) and I have no problems. That makes me think it could be to do with a codec installed on XP. I had ffdshow installed on XP and also a few others. I briefly tried ffdshow on Win7 but it installs under the x86 program folder and doesn't seem interested when launching Pr, unlike when launching under XP.
    So, I'm stuck. If anyone has a magic codec out there that possibly sorts this issue out please share . Does anyone think it's WIN7 specific? I've read recently that adobe fully support Pr under WIN7 now so surely this is not the norm?
    Does anyone else know of a free HD capture tool that captures in a different format? I've used HDVSplit recently due to the scene split function that Pr doesn't supply under HD (btw....Why!?!?!?)
    Hope I find some answers soon
    Cheers,
    Docj0nes

    Just for closure this issue has been resolved now. I did not change my PC, just reverted back to using XP for a while. Tried again on Win7 recently and the vids play back perfectly fine. Update from windows rather than adobe may have fixed it as Idid not recall an adobe update being installed.

  • Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

    When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago.  Rest of playlist was ACC too.  P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

    I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
    Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
    I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
    Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
    Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
    thanks, Melody

  • Multiple file types to PDF

    I have a need to combine images and documents into a single PDF. Using automator, I am able to make an application that combines selected images in the finder into a pdf, but it doesn't work on text documents. So, I found this application that adds a text to PDF conversion into automator.
    http://www.ironicwolf.com/2009/05/convert-to-pdf/
    However, I have never gotten this converter to work, and I certainly haven't found any way to combine one automator workflow using both of these at the same time.
    With OSX's ability to save just about any file to a PDF from the print menu, I am thinking it should be easier than what I am doing. After all, it's built into the OS, right? So, am I missing something? Is there an easier way to take multiple documents like .rtf and .doc, with images like .jpg and .tif all at once and combine them into a single PDF? I am not stuck on using an automator application, I would gladly purchase reasonably priced software that is capable of doing this, but I have been looking and have been unable to find anything to do what I need. Of course, I found quite a few applications for windows, but nothing for mac. Any help would be appreciated.

    Wow, thanks. That was extremely helpful, but I have a couple questions.
    First, is there a way to make it print to CUPS without opening the default application for the particular file first? For example, I used a .docx file, and it had to open microsoft word to send the job the print. This makers it very unpredictable to decide how much time the automator application will need to pause. If that file were for example, and adobe illustrator file, it would take an incredible amount of time just for illustrator to open. I don't really anticipate needing to do this a whole lot with anything other than text files and standard image types, but is that the only way for those other files to print? I figured that since OS 10.6 can do a quick look preview on just about any file type I use, that the OS would be able to do this without the application actually opening, but it seems not to be the case. Just wondering.
    The other issue is the only real problem, and it's one that I have had whenever I use automator to make PDFs. It always duplicates the job. So, I am getting a combined pdf, but it has the same file in there 2 or even 3 times.
    In automator, I used:
    get selected finder items
    then
    print finder items
    I have verified that it is printing everything multiple times because I see them going into the CUPS folder twice. Then, the final PDF sometimes even has the same doc or image in it 3 times. I have always had this problem with automator and PDFs, any idea how to solve that?
    Other than that duplication issue, this seems like it will work perfectly! Thanks for the reply here!

  • Save as for Web gives inappropriate file type estimation

    When I go to Save As For Web (and devices) I'm brought to the next screen that allows me to do a multitude of things. I can adjust the resolution of my image with many other settings but I can also, more specifically, change the file type and, upong changing the type, can see the estimated file size down on the bottom right.
    The trouble is the estimated file size is stuck on the GIF format and doesn't repopulate when I change file types.Below is a screenshot of my difficulty.

  • Writing an .xls file or other file type

    hi all,
    is there another file type i can write out instead of Excel file?

    You can write to any file format that you want - text, binary, xml, database, etc. There's Write to Spreadsheet file for delimited text files (comma, space, tab, or whatever) and several shipping examples show how to write binary files.

  • Set file type associations in Adobe Bridge for Photoshop CS6

    Is there a way I can edit the registry so that in Adobe Bridge, under edit, preferences, file type associations, the jpg extension is forced to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop?  I can do it manually, but is there a registry key i can export to apply it to multiple computers?

    Yes, in theory, but it is generally not recommended. But that location would depend on what OS you are on. This video give the locations for the Photoshop files, Bridge would just be in a neighboring folder: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/

  • Data Recover From Formatted Drive? What is the best program to use to get back Logic Projects and any other file type?

    I was in the process of reorganising my hard drives so I could RAID them however I managed to corrupt one drive and had to format it which meant I lost all my Logic Files and some other files. I managed to save a lot of files (mainly video files) before I had to format the drive but I need a Data Recovery service that will not alter anything on the hard drive and will put all the formatted files (regardless of the type) back for me so I can get the rest of the ones I need.
    Thanks in advance.

    What about folders and such?
    No. FS doesn't reconstruct folders. However, Data Rescue does, depending on how you use it. About the only thing in Data Rescue a Quick Scan ever seems to show you are files that are already live.
    So that leaves you with a Deep Scan, or a Deleted Files scan. The first pass of a Deep Scan will attempt to retrieve folders and files, along with their original names. The second pass only looks for file patterns. Like recognizing a Photoshop .psd file. It will recover it, but give it a nonsense name. A Deleted Files scan only results in nonsense names of recognized file types; no folders.
    What were you using File Salvage on? A hard drive?
    Yes, though you can use it on a flash drive, or any other mounted drive.
    At the moment it is estimating 289 hours remaining on a 1TB drive. Can it not go faster?
    No, both of the software mentioned are slower than molasses in January. When you delete anything in Windows, its file table entry simply tagged as deleted. So to unerase them, the tag is removed. That's why it works to quickly and easily (assuming you haven't already overwritten the data to be recovered).
    In OS X though, the whole idea of the underlying UNIX structure is all about security. It's not supposed to be easy to retrieve deleted items. When you delete items, their file table entries are erased. So the only way to find deleted items is to scour the entire drive for BOF (Beginning Of File) markers that don't have a matching starting block to anything that is in the file table.
    Another question, half the drive was empty. Will it fly over that empty space or will it sieve through it incase there was some files stored on it?
    If you use the Expert mode is FS, you can choose to do that:

  • Removing obsolete file type associations from "Open With" menu

    Ever since I removed VMWare Fusion 3.x from my system, I've been unable to remove the Bootcamp file type associations that it created. For example, if I right-click on a PDF and choose Open With, this is a partial list of what I see:
    Adobe Acrobat Pro (default)
    Adobe Distiller (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    Adobe Fireworks CS4
    Adobe Fireworks CS4 (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    Adobe Illustrator CS4
    Adobe Illustrator (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    Adobe Photoshop CS4
    Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    ...and on and on and on. 17 additional entries for Fusion for PDS's alone. This junk is driving me crazy.
    I've tried rebuilding the Launch Services database with MacPilot and Onyx (the recommended fix that I've found on the web), but the entries still are there even after restarting Finder and rebooting my iMac. I'm at a loss to figure out how to get rid of these.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    They are stored in the LaunchServices database. You can give this a try, but no guarantees. If you no longer use VM Fusion then I suggest following the information below on uninstalling software.
    Rebuild LaunchServices Database
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
    find /System/Library/Frameworks -type f -name "lsregister" -exec {} -kill -seed -r \;
    Press RETURN.
    Wait for the Terminal prompt to return after which you can quit the Terminal.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • File Type Associations

    Recently re-installed Adobe Photoshop CS6, Dreamweaver CS4 and Illustrator CS4 because I had considered not renewing my Adobe CC subscription. I decided to stay on CC one more year, but the previous version installs totally messed up my default file associations. I do not want to uninstall those previous apps.
    So of course I went to Bridge preferences and painfully changed them to the CC programs. The problem is if I want to open an .ai in Photoshop CC I used to be able to from one of the options in the flyout. Now I can only pick the default and all the other options are like Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS4. How can I change those other options populating the flyout without uninstalling the old apps?
    I can go to Photoshop CC and manually open it there, but that defeats the whole purpose of Bridge.
    I tried to change file type associations through Windows 8 file type associations but it won't let me do it there either.
    Thanks.

    Find a file you want to have associated to a different application in the Finder.
    Control-mouse click (or right click if you have a two button mouse) the file and select Open With's submenu Other...
    Find the application you want to open it with, and make sure in the Open With... file dialog box, you check "Always Open With" before selecting the application. Documents of that type will now always open with that specific application you chose.

  • File Type Associations Do Not Stick System-Wide CS4

    When I set File Type Associations for PSD, Tiff, DNG and Jpeg fles in Bridge CS4 so that my files will open in PS CS3 (and insure that the same file associations apply in Bridge CS3), this works as it should from within CS4 and CS3, but it is impossible to introduce a system-wide change in Mac OS 10.5.5 via File-Info. It always reverts to CS4 for these file types, if I try to 'modify all'. The same thing happened when I upgraded from CS2 to CS3.

    If File Type Associations are set properly in the Bridge preferences, the default setting can be made to open files in PS CS3, with CS4 installed. This works from within CS3 and CS4. However, it sometimes happens that one is in the Finder, and the default remains PS CS4, however much one tries (via File-Get Info) to modify the default system-wide settings so that these files open in CS3. In any event, a bit invasive. Of course, if I could get comfortable with the Adjustment Layer Panels, all this would be unnecessary, but for the moment, there appear to be too many clicks, and it is going to take some time, so I don't want to burn bridges. Perhaps there is also some ambiguity in my mind as to what the pointing finger in the new Curves dialogue box, much like a tolling bell, is trying to tell me.
    But thanks, once again Anne, for your good-natured help.

  • Bridge File Type Associations don't see my (2014) products?

    I have just updated Ps, Ai & Id to (2014) and uninstalled old versions (Win 7)

    Adobe is not installed in the default location, is on my second drive. all else is normal
    The result in this is that I can't 'Edit Original' or open any files without dragging from bridge into app.

    Has Ubuntu and Windows ever seen each other?
    You say "Ubuntu is apparently a linux platform...". not apparently - it IS a linux platform (are these your computers?)
    The first thing is to get them all into the same logical Workgroup.
    On PC: ControlPanel>System>ComputerName..jot down workgroupName.
    On ubuntu, the file/etc/samba/smb.conf is edited (might not need this yet).
    On Mac: Utilities> DirectoryAccess, Configure SMB/CFS...enter WorkgroupName in appropriate box.
    (then look into SystemPreferences>Sharing, and turn on File Sharing.
    In network utilities on the mac, have you been able to you ping these computers by their IP address? Have you been able to ping mac by number from Windows or Linux?

  • Photoshop CS4 - File Type Associations and Bridge CS4

    I have both Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop Elements 7.0 installed on my PC running Windows Vista Home Premium, I removed Photoshop CS3 after installing CS4. The issue I have is that if I look at file associations in Bridge CS4 under Preferences, none of the file types are set to Photoshop CS4, they are set to either Explorer or Photoshop Elements 7.0. The even stranger thing is also that if I try to change the associations, Photoshop CS4 is not even displayed as an option, as Photoshop Elements 7.0 always is, I have to browse in order to find it. This works, but I find it strange. Also within Windows none of the file associations are set to Photoshop CS4 after installation, I have to change them manually, again by browsing for it. I remember that in previous installs of Photoshop there was the possibility to change or use default file associtions, does CS4 have this? I guess this is not really a problem, but I find it somewhat strange that Elements 7.0 is always offered as an option but not CS4 and makes me feel it hasn't installed properly. Anyone have any ideas?

    CCleaner did the trick for me too!
    But I still suspect something about CS4 installer is not right.
    Under CS3 I used Vista "open with">"choose program">"always use" to assiciate bridge CS3 with my canon camera raw files.. At that time it did work.
    After installing CS4, I wanted to do the same with bridge CS4 but it didnt work. In the "choose program" vista menu, whatever I was doing, I couldnt select bridge CS4 it was always comming back to photoshop cs4 or bridge cs3.
    After using CCleaner, I could re-associate the way I want right away.
    So my word to photoshop's installer developper: please try to reproduce this issue, it should be easy, and make the installer avoid this.
    Thanks
