Why do I have to change .JPG to .jpeg?

Every time I email a photo from my iPad Photos app and receive it in Outlook on a Mac running Mavericks, I get a warning saying - You cannot save this document with extension ".JPG" at the end of the name. The required extension is ".jpeg" This seems very strange to me. I have loads of pictures with the .jpg extension. If I have to have 2 different extensions depending on how the pictures arrive on the Mac it makes searches more complicated.
Does anyone else get the same message in a different mail client, such as Mail?
Is it an Outlook problem perhaps?
Do the upper case .JPG letters make a difference in which case why is the iPad using upper case for the extension and not the file name (photo.JPG)
Baffling. any thoughts extension gurus?

He used capitals . . .
Nope, that's not it, either. Just figured out the trigger is how you save the attachments.
I've always just grabbed them at the top of the email and dragged the attachments to the desktop. As shown here:
Screen grab doesn't capture the mouse, but if you simply grab the attachment name (highlighted when clicked on) and drag it directly to any location, it saves without issue. BUT, if you use the save attachment command (Command+E), that's where the bug is. It will add .jpeg to the name, even where it already says .jpg, and you can't stop it from doing that.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • Why do I have to change source input to mono when it's recorded in stereo through my interface from an acoustic pick up in order to hear anything in playback?

    Why do I have to change source input to mono when it's recorded in stereo through my interface from an acoustic pick up in order to hear anything in playback?
    It's a dean markley acoustic pick up with a mono 1/4" jack. It's plugged into a focusrite interface. GarageBand only records it in stereo and only plays it back in mono.

  • Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?

    I would like to know why you have gone and changed the layout of Firefox?
    I am still on Fx 3.6.18 because quite frankly 5.0.1 looks horrible.
    Why did you have to change everything and move things around. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new upgrades.
    I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.
    Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?

    Sorry the old Feedback page - Hendrix - used with older versions of Firefox was disabled near the end of 2010.
    In Firefox 4+ versions there's a Help > Submit Feedback... menu item which leads here: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback <br />
    But you can't submit feedback there with an older version of Firefox, currently you need Firefox 5.0 or higher.
    The decision to change the GUI was made by Mozilla collectively, not by a small group of developers or by one person. If you put your efforts toward customizing Firefox to suit your tastes, it would be a lot more productive than trying to find out who to blame and where to complain about the changes made to Firefox. Geez dude, it ain't the end of the world. It's only a web browser, which can be easily modified to make it look like you thing it should look.

  • If I have a mac mail account why do I have to change to i-cloud?

    If I have a mac mail account why do I have to change to i-cloud?
    Will it cease to work on 30 June, and if so do I have to buy leapord and then lion, updgrade and re-sync/lose a number of things?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes, if you do not migrate from your MobileMe account to iCloud you will lose access to all your services after June 30, 2012.
    Lion (10.7.2 or better) is required for iCloud. If you have a MobileMe account Apple are giving you Snow Leopard free of charge, this will install the App Store on your computer from where you will be able to purchase and upgrade to lion.

  • Why do I have to change plans when I upgrade my device?

    I went to a Verizon store today to check out upgrade devices since I'm due in two weeks. I was told that I would also have to change my plan when I upgrade my device.... why? Never did before. I get 4gig of data for $30, why would I want to pay $70? Makes no sense to me.If that is the case, I might as well check all carriers and possibly switch.

    The new pricing is to expensive. Only an idiot would pay full price for a phone. I'd rather deal with the sticky "w" on my keyboard and keep the plan I already have. I am looking at the other carriers and found T Mobile might have what I'm looking for. I can buy a phone on EBay and use it there. I don't need unlimited phone and messaging if I have to pay so much more for the same data plan I already have. I'm under $100 now, the new plan would be around $120. I pay $30 for 4G data. New packages are $70 for the same data package.

  • Why do we have to change passwords every time we do something on the iPad?

    WHy do we have to reset passwords every time we do something on iPad?

    You shouldn't have to. It sounds like you may have content on the device associated with more than one apple id. If that's the case then, you may be entering a password for one account when you should be entering another.
    I would suggest using only one apple id username on the device and delete any content associated with another.

  • Why do i have to change setting ie general then cellular On to access internet

    I never had to do this as 3G used to be able to access internet for me but now I have to change settings and sometimes still cant get the internet.

    Sounds like an issue with the print driver not retaining previous settings to me.
    Keep in mind that printer settings are saved with some kinds of documents (e.g., PSD files).  I'm not sure if that's the case with a TIFF, but if so, make sure you save the TIFF file after you print so the settings will be available next time you print it.
    There is a known issue with some drivers where you have to go through a few extra steps to get them to retain the settings you make in the Photoshop dialog, but I don't see how that might apply here.  To see if it does, do the following:
    File - Print.
    In the Photoshop print dialog, make whatever settings you like.
    Click the [ Print Settings... ] Button, and exit the print driver dialog with [ OK ].
    Click [ Print ].
    Save and Close your document.
    Open the document again.
    File - Print.
    Click the [ Print Settings... ] button.
    Is your dpi preference remembered?

  • Changing JPG to JPEG or GIF & resizing

    I'm trying to post my pictures on a website, but the're in JPG and the website only allows JPEG or GIF. How can I change the images, and how can I make them smaller, i've tried making them smaller to export, but they still end up big, so I need another option rather than exporting. Please help.

    Christina:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To resize for other applications just select those you want to resize and use the File->Export->File Export route. There you will have the option to select the size you'd like.
    As for the JPG vs JPEG, have you tried submitting a JPG file? Those two extensions are the same and can be used interchangeably. The JPEG is the more formal representation of that format. If the simple JPG extension is rejected you can use R-Name to batch change the extension to JPEG before you submit them to the site. You'll have to do that after you export from iPhoto.

  • I can't access a familiar site with firefox now. why do I have to change to IE. never have had to in the past

    I watch a site NABC black bear cameras a lot. I have always been able to use Firefox. Lately it won't work. first it said it was adobe plug ins ...but I could then send crash report and reload page. Now none will load. But if I use Internet Explorer, it seems to be ok. I use Firefox for almost anything else, that will allow it, and was wondering, why, after all this time I can't now?
    Have been watching this site for 2 years. and have had no trouble until now. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I feel a bit like Im walking into the past, but Im having the same issue same site. I have Clear, and can open the site in chrome. Not however in Safari.
    Im making an effort to Un- Google my world so help on this frontier would be great, The folks at Clear say "We just sell access, we don't block." I believe them, they're not comcast.
    Checking in Safari- im told that the sight is down.
    Thanks for any insight.

  • Why do I have to change the password for my Apple ID every 3 months?

    Until recently I assummed that everyone had to change their password every 3 months, but on searching the web I found only a couple of mentions of other people who have to do this.
    My Apple ID was originally set up when I bought a Mac through my company (which was not a developer) from AppleStore Small & Medium Businesses in 2002.  Perhaps all accounts set up that way in 2002 work like this?
    The only solutions I can think of are:
    a) Change something in my Password and Security settings, but I can't see anything relevant.
    b) Move to a new Apple ID, but I think I would lose access to existing apps I have purchased?
    c) Ask Apple to change my settings, but the response a developer with this problem got from Apple was: "I am unable to change the password requirements and restrictions for your Developer Account".
    Anyone else have to keep changing their password?

    With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
    Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it.  However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security.  The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password.  However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
    To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected.  So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)!

  • E mail... I dont like the new system....​And why did i have to change?

      Your new e mail system is a joke...

    I don't like it either and a tech changed it back to the old system a couple of weeks ago.  Things were great and then Verizon wouldn't let me access the old one anymore, so back to the new one I went.
    Today, I have been unable to access my verizon email for 12 hours.  I went on chat with a tech and she couldn't help me either.  I am still without email access and am getting more frustrated with each passing hour.

  • Why did i have to change my questions to purchase?

    For the last two purchase I made on ITunes, it has requested that I answer three questions that I chose.  Why?  Is this something new, or do I have to verify who I am before I make a purchase now?

    Hi MrDva,
    I agree with you. it's asinine that we can't choose our own questions. For exaple who is going to remember the answer to "Where were you on January 1, 2000?"
    I recommend that you comtact iTunes Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com and follow through with iTunes>iTunes Store>Account Management and have an iTunes Advisor contact you.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why do I have to change my plan when I switch my device?

    My IPhone 4s isn't working at all and I was told I could temporarily switch to another device. I am switching to a basic phone. When I proceed online to switch the device, it tells me I have to switch plans as well. I don't need more data, but I do not want to go down in data.

    mrhelper wrote:
    I assume you have unlimited data? Unlimited data was never an option for basic phones so that's probably the reason.
    Actually basic phones did have an option for an unlimited data plan at one time. Not any more though.
