  • How can I access data on an external drive in my mac after all folders have been turned into .lnk files? I am desperate!

    I don't know what happened, I connected my external hd today and all files had been turned into that!

    I know I am going to sound really stupid when I ask this, but how do I do that? There was this folder called Recycle Bin, which I have deleted already but the files are still in the same format. I know they are in the HD 'cause of the space taken up in it, but I would like to know exactly what to do to clear the malware altogether and have access to the stuff I have again.
    Thank you very much in advance and sorry for being such a dummy

    Error in downloading itunes in windows, all the .exe files turn into the itunes icon

    Download the lnk registry fix from www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. Reinstall iTunes. Should you find that all of your desktop shortcuts have again turned into links to the iTunes application apply the patch.

  • All my raw photos turn red.

    Yesterday, all my raw photos turn red, first in aperture and then also in the preview.
    The first photo was converted whith Nikon software (View NX2) the second whith preview, I get the same problem whith Aperture and iPhoto.
    This photo is from 2011 and it was fine until yesterday.

    The 4.08 Raw Camera bundle update that was released a few days ago is causing problems for Nikon users. Until Apple issues an update to fix this roll back to 4.07
    Search here for many posts describing this and how to roll back.

  • All files on USB turn into .ink files

    Whenever I put a flashdirve on my macbook all the files and folders on the usb turn into .ink files and I cant open them on a mac. I need to solve this problem ASAP because Im afraid to put my hard disk and loose all the files on it. This happened to 4 of my USBs and i have no backup of some of the stuff on them.

    I spoke with the techs at apple support, they likewise were stumped. His suggestion was that I reformat the drives as Mac OSX journaled. He thought the FAT32 may have been the issue as it is not natively supported by the Airport Extreme, but also was not positive since it is one specific folder out of 500 or so on my drive that is having the problem... he thought it may be the content. Unfortunately, the content in that folder is not different from any other folder on the drive. It is set to use accounts and not a single password. All the settings for permissions, etc are correct to allow anyone to access/read/write to the drive and folder... really baffled.
    Going to try formatting the drive and then giving it another go.
    thank you

  • What causes an hp c5550 all in one to turn on properly then all lights start blinking?

    I Have an HP c5550 all in one printer which I think goes into oscillation and all lights on it begins blinking and the power button will not turn it off. I have to unplug it to stop it. When I reconnect it, it will work for a few minutes and starts blinking all over again. I have had it on an XP machine but just recently put it on a windows 7 ultimate machine with the exact same results. Also the last time I got it to print instead of turning off and starting blinking it just kept repeatedly printing the same page which was supposed to pring one copy. Besides jacking it up and running a new one under it, what could be the matter with it?

    Hi there,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • What is the easiest way to put a photo gallery into an existing website?

    I am ready to give up.  This really can't be this difficult. 
    Either that or I am the dumbest person in the world.  Up until now, I didn't know that I was. 
    I just want something easy.
    I am designing a website using Dreamweaver Cs5.5.  I am on a PC with Windows Vista Operating System.
    I have an existing website www.metzartonline.com. 
    On the Gallery page, I want to include a simple photo gallery where I can showcase paintings.  I would like a simple (theres that word again) grid that shows the photos as thumbnails.  When you click on the thumbnail, it shows the image in a larger size with a small caption.
    I've tried using Bridge which was very easy to set up but I'm at a loss on how to integrate that into the webpage.  After lots of research, I've come to the conclusion that integrating that into an existing website just insn't that easy to do.
    I purchased the Classic Photo Gallery from Flash Development 24 because it was described as "easy to use."
    It is not easy to use.
    The steb by step guide for one, isn't even written in proper English.  I've tried to work with it an I've emailed support several times.
    I'm ready to give that up.
    I just want to make a simple gallery that I can integrate into an existing website.
    Can anyone suggest the easiest program to use?
    Please?

    You can use Adobe Bridge (it is built into Dreamweaver) and Adobe Fireworks.  Once you have Dreamweaver open, go to File and you will see "Browse in Bridge".  Adobe Fireworks is a separate program and must be installed to make this work.  The instructions below are step by step and I was able to follow them even though I am not overly experienced in Dreamweaver.  I created these with Dreamweaver CS4 but the instructions below should work for CS5 as well.
    The first address here is to create a photo gallery with the Adobe Output Module which you open in Bridge.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/3.0/WSCF044571-2772-4d28-9EBD-2C9F46AF008A.html
    The second address explains how to incorporate the gallery into a Dreamweaver page.
    http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/gallery/embed1.php
    Here is my wife's website for her art:   www.tanglewoodbrushstrokes.com
    You may want to look at the galleries there first to see if they are what you are looking for. 
    There are two disadvantages to these galleries.  One is that to add or subract images requires creating a new gallery.  The good side is that this can be done fairly quickly once you become accustomed to how they are created.  I can do a new one now in a half hour or less.  To make it easier, you can go to split screen once you have the new gallery made and substitute the html for the new gallery in place of the old one without recreating your page parameters for the gallery.
    Secondly, the galleries created in Fireworks use flash technology so they will not work on Iphones or Ipads.  To correct this on my wife's website, I upgraded to CS5.5 in order to use HTML5.  I am going through the tutorials for creating HTML5 web pages now.  Once I have completed them, I will be re-doing my wife's site.  I haven't yet figured out how I will create and install the galleries yet.  I have posed a question about albums for HTML5 on this forum.  Using HTML5 appears to be more complex than what I have experienced in the past, but we will see.
    Hope this helps.  Don't get too frustrated when you go through the tutorials above.  Take your time and you will be able to figure it out.  If I could do it, so can you.  I am a 65 year old retiree who only began working with Dreamweaver about three years ago.  My work experience was not in the computer field although we bought our first computer, an Apple IIE, in 1980.

  • My isight camera image is fuzzy in all apps including photo booth and skype.

    Any ideas on what could be wrong? Or should I just take it to my locate retailer to have it checked out?

    Your local Apple retailer or Apple Authorized Service Provider can certainly help you with your problem.
    If you want to try some things on you own first, consider the following in any order relevant to your Mac:
    (1) First ensure that you don't have some kind of dirt smudge on your cams' lens cover.
    (2) Poor iSight image is usually caused by insufficient light.
    Per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3097, use good (meaning very bright, single-source) light.
    You can restart Mac and record a Photo Booth image or video clip in full sunlight. View it inside (not in sunlight) to see the best quality your Mac can give.
    (3) If your problem persists, you can consider these suggestions for troubleshooting built-in iSight: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    You have already tested multiple apps, but you should also test in more than one user account.  Create a new one for testing if you only have one account on your Mac. Do NOT use a "Guest" account!
    (4) If you decided to get help, unless you already have a current backup, always make one immediately befoer you relinquish your Mac for service.

  • Could you tell me what is the reason behind all this?

    Hi
      Zp0001, we have 510 pcs in stock, but for some reasons we can’t commit the orders that we have on the system. When we go into a xyz order 308 for example), the system commits only to February, even if we could do a partial shipment.
    Could you tell me what is the reason behind all this?

    Please look into availability check for that particular material,
    based on the availability check the system determines whether to
    confirm the sales order (if the sales order qty > inshe stock (either
    rejection/partial confirmation - depends upon the availability check),
    followed by determination of delivery date

  • I have lost my events.  Now all 10,137 photos are in one event.  Is that reversible?

    I was working with flagging photos and making new events.  I don't know what I did but suddenly all 10,137 photos were in the flagged folder.  I couldn't unflag tham - at least it didn't look like anything was happening to my effort to get them unflagged and back in their respective events.  Now I have 2 events, one with my most recent download and one with the other 10,137 photos.  My backup "Western Digital" has duplicated the mistake.  Is there anyway to undo this mess?  If I take the many laborious hours to remake all the events, will I then have double of everything in my iMac backup Library?  that is, 10,137 photos times 2.
    I don't understand how the iMac works as far as returning the computer to an earlier state.  I have iPhoto 11.
    Thanks for any help

    By the backup, do you mean the Western Digital or the backup on my computer?  I don't know how to restore either backup devices, but I have books to research on each option.
    I tried the autosplit selected event.  I'm sorry I didn't see that before I asked my question.  I was in panic mode and just bypassed that answer.  Anyway, I hadn't set any preference settings - not knowing about those either - and the program did a decent job of coordinating some of the pictures, a poor job of coordinating other pictures, and I laughed out loud at some of the pictures that were put together in an event.
    I will try the restore if I can learn how to use it.
    Thank you for such an immediate response.

  • After I  did a renaming batch all of my photos are a white block! please help

    I did a batch rename in Bridge and all of my jpeg photos turned into a white block, photos are gone, PS  nor bridge recognize file. What happened?
    I also had a PSD file of each photo that still is showing the photo in Bridge, but will not open, it says it does not recognize file.
    I choose the option to keep original name and extension.
    I have tried renaming and changing file ext. but this does not help.
    Any thoughts?

    It seems you have more then one dot or multiple extensions in the filename.
    But maybe a screenshot of your content window with filenames would clarify a bit more.
    In general, you should only use one dot in a file name and that is the one at the end of the filename ( for a jpeg that would mean ".jpg").
    Just select one file in the content window and with right mouse click choose duplicate. this provides a duplicate file with the addition of Copy after the filename and before the extension. Just select the complete field and type: test.jpg and then try again.

  • Had acrobat 8 instaled today i downloade a U torrent and suddenly acrobat turned into u torrent on all my adobe files .. went to open with clicked on acrobat and then it changed to Filemaker which ihave installed.. how can i get back to acrobat???? help

    I originally had acrobat 7 in my machine when Adobe told me that they won't support it and gave me 8 by a direct download to my pc about 4 months ago.  Great worked fin today i uploaded U Torrent and suddenly all my acrobat files turned into U torrents so i clicked on open with and clicked on acrobat and now the files show filemaker Pro which i do have installed..  I need to get back to acrobat for my bills that i send out .. i am disabled and run a small business from home.. all my invoices are now corrupt can you help  please..

    It sounds like you do not have a backup. You might consider a restore to before you installed the problem program. Can you open Acrobat by going to the Acrobat folder and clicking on Acrobat? If so, go to Help>Repair. After that, try the updates if you are not current. Hopefully that will resolve the problem. There is a chance that the program you downloaded as not a proper version and had a virus.

  • I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

    I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
    I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
    I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
    P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

    Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match.  Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.
