What is a .chm file? Sorry if in wrong section. Dont know where to ask?!!?

Hi guys,
I was told to open a .chm file but my mac asks me what program to use. Ive never heard of a .chm file before.
What is it?
What program should I use?
This may be the wrong section to ask so please tell me where to ask if you know.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan
That's a kind of Help/Documentation file for Windows; you can read it with your Mac using Chmox.

  • When installing iTunes, message pops up saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". Then it gives me an option to find the iTunes.msi file on my computer but i dont know where that is?

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select anyiTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HELP! Dont know where to put downloaded IOS 4.1 in computer files

    Hey all,
    my iphone 3gs died this morning and im trying to restore it, ended up downloading the lastest IOS as a stand alone file, just wondering where to put it, ive been told Windows Vista: "\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates" is the place, but the 'AppData' part of that address doesnt exsist on my computer. I have windows vista aswell thanks

    Ok, you sounds like you are checking for iTunes updates, not iPhone updates
    What did you save in the folder earlier? Was it something like this? "iPhone2,14.1_8B117Restore.ipsw"
    If not delete it.
    Open iTunes and the connect your iphone.
    On the left part of the screen, you will see Devices - "your" iPhone
    Click on that
    In the summary screen, you will see a button "Check for Updates"
    If you don't have the latest version in the folder discussed earlier, it will want to download a new one.
    Select the Download only selection, not the download and Restore selection.
    The new file will be downloaded.
    Let me know when you have got this far.

  • I dont know where to begin, what is a sliding window?

    The problem is to create a "smooth" image/"oil painting" image for a given image. You must create a GUI interface that include a menu which uses a JFileChooser to load/save an image file (a plain PGM file). The menu also include an exit menu item. The GUI should also include two radio buttons for smoothing/oil painting, and another group of radio buttons for choosing a sorting method. This group of buttons should have no effect if the smooth button is chosen. A text field should be included to enter the size of the sliding window. The GUI should also include a JScrollPane to display the log of processing time. My GUI looks like the following:
    In addition to your source code, you should also turn in a short report listing the experiments you perform and the processing times. You should run your code with different methods (4 methods) and window sizes ranging from (1 x 1) to (50 x 50). In your report, answer the following questions: Which one of the four methods gives the best running time for the (3 x 3) window? Which is the best for the (5 x 5) window? Which is the best for the (10 x 10) window? Which is the best for the (20 x 20) window? Which is the best for the (50 x 50) window? What is the maximal window size for which the processed image is still recognizable for the human eye?
    Here is how to proceed. Begin with the underlying classes. Develop each one with a main method for testing. As you finish one, move on to the next.
    1. Create a ImageProcess class that extends JFrame and includes all necessary GUI components.
    2. Create a SlidingWindow class that takes an image Array and an strategy object that implements Measurer :
    interface Measurer{
    int measure(Object m); //returns the measure of the object
    The class include a getNewGrayScale method that takes a pixel position of the new image and returns an integer value of the gray scale for that pixel, a setWindowSize method, and a setSortingMethod method.
    3. Two strategy classes ByAvg and ByMedian implements Measurer, one for calculating the average and one for finding the median of an array of integers. ByMedian class should include three sorting methods that implement sorting algorithms: quicksort, counting sort and insertion sort. Note: You may use the implementations of quicksort and insertion sort from your text book, but you must implement your own counting sort!
    4. The pgm (portable gray map) image format requires 4 entries followed by the greyscale values (some files include comments lines starting with the character #). The four entries are: the literal "P2", an integer representing the x dimension, an integer representing the y dimension, and an integer representing the maximum greyscale value. There should be x times y number of grey-level values after these 4 numbers. Part of a sample plain pgm image bug1.pgm is shown below. You may download a Java file to view the image. Caution: my code works very slowly for displaying large image files b/c it paints every pixel as a square. You get bonus points if you can solve the problem.
    P2
    # Created by IrfanView
    40 42
    255
    192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192
    192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 197 197 197 191 192 192
    5. The processing procedure works as follows. For each pixel of an image, the procedure considers an (n x n) window centered on that pixel, computes the mean/median of gray-level values in the window, and the mean/median becomes the new gray-level value of the new image. The median is defined as the middle value in a sorted sequence. For example, consider the following (3 x 3) window of pixels: 11 90 74 71 14 92 20 87 68. The sorted sequence of these pixels is <11, 14, 20, 68, 71, 74, 87, 90, 92>, and the middle of the sequence is 71, which is the median of the window. The median of the sequence <1,4,7,9> is (4+7)/2=5. The result of replacing all pixels with average values is a smoothed image. Using median values producing the oil painting effect. On the negative side, the new image is blurrier than the original. Corners and edges of the image need to be handled differently. For this project, for the boundary cases, the sliding window will be resized and include only the image pixels within the window.
    6. Display the image. Your image should be resizable, but the height and width ratio should remain fixed, i.e draw each pixel as a square. Extra credit: if you figure out how to directly display image of pgm format in Java.
    7. Programs to convert a file to pgm format: IrfanView, ImageMagick.
    Be sure to document every class and method (including the class supplied for you). Include a printed UML diagram for this project. Don't forget to check the documentation standards and include the signed cover sheet with your printed submission.

  • HT4061 I downloaded icloud not knowing what it was, I now want to delete it but dont know how.

    I want to delete ICloud from my Iphone 4S, I am not receiving my aol e-mails since I downloaded it.  I don't want to change my e-mail to @icloud, I was receiving my aol e-mails previously, 

    What exactly did you do? You can not "download" iCloud. iCloud is a service you can either use or not use. Using iCloud does not prevent you from using AOS or anything else.

  • Preview not opening files (might be posted in wrong don't know where it)

    Hey I tried to open many different types of files in preview like .jpg, .png, .pdf, .psd and none won't open. Instead of opening through preview they open in QuickTime. Please help.

    "...and none won't open". That's a double negative.

  • I have an ipad2 and logic pro 9 but my iPads GarageBand exports but 1. Logic cannot find it and the files are hidden so I don't know where they are ,  I've looked all over my iTunes structure which is easy since I just installed everything and it's empty

    So yea title says it all
    Logic doesn't see the GarageBand files and neither do I .... So I reattempt saving it and my iPad sees the files there so .... They're there
    But you shouldn't need GarageBand to access it on my Mac IF I OWN LOGIC PRO

    Hi
    With your iPad connected, open iTunes & select the iPad
    Select the Apps tab, and scroll down to File Sharing.
    Select the GB songs you wish to get onto the Mac and click "Save to"
    By default, these seem to go to <User> Documents, but you could save them anywhere (Check where you setup is saving them).
    Open Logic, and then File:Open
    Navigate to wherever you saved your GB songs to, and select one. Open it
    Logic prompts you to save this new project somewhere... done.

  • I would like to know how to fix my safari. There are many pages that the text and links appear as "AAAAAAA" and I dont know where to click or what to do

    Please if anyone knows how to solve this problem, I bought this mac brand new, first time using it and many pages dont render the texts or links. It shows it like a series of "A"s.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Changing the .chm File Name

    I know this topic has been covered before in the forum, but I a little bit slow and haven't quite understood the answers.  I am trying to change the name of the .chm file which resides at the root of the C: drive, but outside of the project folder.
    Several of the solutions refer to changing the name in the window properties, except I don't know what you are referring to by Window.  Is it on a dialog box such as Project Properties or is it something I'm totally unaware of?
    Sorry for the redundancy of the topic.

    Are you referring to the CHM file created when you compile your project? If so, all you need to do is right click on the Microsoft HTML Help single source layout and select Properties. The top field in this dialog - Select Output Folder and File Name - is where you specify the path to the CHM file and the actual file name. Change this to the reference the required file name (e.g. C:\Source\myfile.chm) and click Save. The next time you create your project output the file name will be as you have supllied.

  • Customizing a .chm file for a customer

    Currently using RoboHelp 7 HTML (WebHelp)
    We have a customer that is requesting the customization of the help file.  I believe, but have not confirmed that our client server version of help was written using RoboHelp v5.  I'm being asked by our consultant what the level of effort would be by us (me - rookie) or the customer (possibly more of a rookie if this is even fathomable).
    The next question is that when this customer migrates to the web version of our product what happens to the customized help?
    Thanks for any help,
    Renee

    Hi Renee
    Sorry, but we need a teensy bit of clarification here.
    The thread title refers to customizing a CHM file. Microsoft HTML Help. I'm not sure though about the next bit where you say you are using RoboHelp 7 HTML (WebHelp). Are you saying that WebHelp is your primary layout? If so, where does the CHM come into play?
    You said:
    We have a customer that is requesting the customization of the help file.  I believe, but have not confirmed that our client server version of help was written using RoboHelp v5.
    I'm guessing this means you are using WebHelp? (The "client server" phrasing is throwing me a bit.)
    So until we know the answer to those questions, we can't really offer a meaningful answer.
    Cheers... Rick
