Why does iDisk and Yahoo Briefcase convert Word to Appleworks?

I'm able to download these stored documents and save them as Word files, but I'm wondering why these two storage websites convert doc files to Appleworks?
Thanks!

It's unlikely that the files are being converted to AppleWorks as that would involve translation & Word just doesn't have translators to save files as AppleWorks. I think that your Mac has "decided" that the default program to open these files is AppleWorks.
This is not an uncommon problem & the program the OS "assigns" to a file type varies. It usually happens after a system update & not using Disk Utility to repair permissions especially if the files don't have an extension or extensions aren't displayed. Highlight a known Word document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Word. If Word is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Word application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Word. Then use Disk Utility to repair permissions.

Why does copy and paste always convert to arial 10 in firefox?

I use a web based email and auto responder system. In the past I have been able to create a document in word and then copy and paste the content into a template. The font and size, style and color would save in the document as they were in word. Now when I do the same thing, they are converted to arial 10 black.
why is that and why does firefox not support other fonts?

You can paste in any track you want, make sure the track is selected first before you paste.
Or Alt drag to any track without selecting the track first or even to a new track.

Why does m4v need to be converted again

Hi. I converted a dvd movie I bought into the ipod format .m4v using another converting software program I have. I then imported it into the videos section of my itunes. It would not load into my ipod unless i convertd it again using the itunes conver for ipod option. Why does this need to be converted again for ipod if its already in a .m4v and is there any way i can fix this so when im originally converting my movie with my converting software I can eliminate this last step in itunes. It takes up to 5 hours to convert in itunes. thanks

I should also add that I am using a AVS video converter which has an IPod 5.5 converting option that makes my movies Highest available quality H.264, 30fps 640x480
There are more Ipod options availble but im using the Highest quality available one. Maybe I should be using one of these:
ipod 5x- NTFS Standard quality H.264 29.97fps, 320X240
ipod 5x- PAL standard quality H.264 24fps, 320X240
ipod 5x- low quality H264., 20fps, 320X240
ipod 5x - Best quality (MPEG4, 24fps, 320X240)
ipod 5x- economy quality (MPEG4, 20fps, 176X144)
ipod 5x- for tv output (MPEG4, 24fps, 512X384)

Why does AVCHD have to be converted to AIC 1st?

Couple of questions...
Why does AVCHD have to be converted to AIC 1st? Is it because the hardware isn't up to AVCHD or something? I only have a Core 2 Duo 2GHz 4Gb RAM so is this enough?
Won't converting from AVCHD to AIC and then to an output format (which would be best for quality once editing is complete?) decrease overall quality?
On a side note, currently my Panasonic TZ7 does AVCHD lite 720P. I'm thinking of upgrading to a Panasonic TZ20 with AVCHD full HD 1080i. However I've heard that although 1080i is full HD its not as good as 1080p progressive. Now I'm wondering if I should buy the Sony Hx9v which has 1080p or wait till next year for a newer TZ camera which has 1080p. Is there a massive difference between 1080i and 1080p, and for that matter over my current 720p?
Reason I'm thinking of upgrading is I'm off to Disney Florida this year for 1st time and want best I can, so was wondering if my current TZ7 would be enough or to upgrade to a TZ20 for the video
Cheers

Why does AVCHD have to be converted to AIC 1st?
Basically AVCHD doesn't record all the frames of a video as full frames (i-frames), it records a full frame every so often and the frames in between are made of information about the areas of the frame that have changed and a calculation so that a full frame can be recreated by comparing it with the previous frame (p-frames), this gets a little more complicated as they can also be compared with next frame too (b-frames).
Since the in between frames aren't full frames they can't be edited, which is where AIC comes in. When the file is converted to AIC all the frames are recreated (as full frames) from the various types of frames in the AVCHD file, they can then be edited.
Won't converting from AVCHD to AIC and then to an output format (which would be best for quality once editing is complete?) decrease overall quality?
Yes and no, think of the conversion more of an expansion whereby all of the quality of the original file is maintained, hence no loss of quality. This isn't entirely true since AIC does contain compression, but the files are already large enough as AIC files to expand them to an uncompressed format would be rather ridiculous for amateur video, and the loss of quality is probably immeasurable in most cases.
Is there a massive difference between 1080i and 1080p, and for that matter over my current 720p?
That very much depends on what you are going to do with it, the difference between these resolutions can be noticeable if the videos are encoded at appropriate data rates, but if you are going to use a similar data rate to compress a 1080p file that you use for a 720p file then you won't achieve any additional quality, indeed you may actually lose some.

Why does Lightroom (and Photoshop) use AdobeRGB and/or ProPhoto RGB as default color spaces, when most monitors are standard gamut (sRGB) and cannot display the benefits of those wider gamuts?

I've asked this in a couple other places online as I try to wrap my head around color management, but the answer continues to elude me. That, or I've had it explained and I just didn't comprehend. So I continue. My confusion is this: everywhere it seems, experts and gurus and teachers and generally good, kind people of knowledge claim the benefits (in most instances, though not all) of working in AdobeRGB and ProPhoto RGB. And yet nobody seems to mention that the majority of people - including presumably many of those championing the wider gamut color spaces - are working on standard gamut displays. And to my mind, this is a huge oversight. What it means is, at best, those working this way are seeing nothing different than photos edited/output in sRGB, because [fortunately] the photos they took didn't include colors that exceeded sRGB's real estate. But at worst, they're editing blind, and probably messing up their work. That landscape they shot with all those lush greens that sRGB can't handle? Well, if they're working in AdobeRGB on a standard gamut display, they can't see those greens either. So, as I understand it, the color managed software is going to algorithmically reign in that wild green and bring it down to sRGB's turf (and this I believe is where relative and perceptual rendering intents come into play), and give them the best approximation, within the display's gamut capabilities. But now this person is editing thinking they're in AdobeRGB, thinking that green is AdobeRGB's green, but it's not. So any changes they make to this image, they're making to an image that's displaying to their eyes as sRGB, even if the color space is, technically, AdobeRGB. So they save, output this image as an AdobeRGB file, unaware that [they] altered it seeing inaccurate color. The person who opens this file on a wide gamut monitor, in the appropriate (wide gamut) color space, is now going to see this image "accurately" for the first time. Only it was edited by someone who hadn't seen it accurately. So who know what it looks like. And if the person who edited it is there, they'd be like, "wait, that's not what I sent you!"
Am I wrong? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. I shoot everything RAW, and I someday would love to see these photos opened up in a nice, big color space. And since they're RAW, I will, and probably not too far in the future. But right now I export everything to sRGB, because - internet standards aside - I don't know anybody who I'd share my photos with, who has a wide gamut monitor. I mean, as far as I know, most standard gamut monitors can't even display 100% sRGB! I just bought a really nice QHD display marketed toward design and photography professionals, and I don't think it's 100. I thought of getting the wide gamut version, but was advised to stay away because so much of my day-to-day usage would be with things that didn't utilize those gamuts, and generally speaking, my colors would be off. So I went with the standard gamut, like 99% of everybody else.
So what should I do? As it is, I have my Photoshop color space set to sRGB. I just read that Lightroom as its default uses ProPhoto in the Develop module, and AdobeRGB in the Library (for previews and such).
Thanks for any help!
Michael

Okay. Going bigger is better, do so when you can (in 16-bit). Darn, those TIFs are big though. So, ideally, one really doesn't want to take the picture to Photoshop until one has to, right? Because as long as it's in LR, it's going to be a comparatively small file (a dozen or two MBs vs say 150 as a TIF). And doesn't LR's develop module use the same 'engine' or something, as ACR plug-in? So if your adjustments are basic, able to be done in either LR Develop, or PS ACR, all things being equal, choose to stay in LR?

PS RGB Workspace: ProPhotoRGB and I convert any 8-bit documents to 16-bit before doing any adjustments.
Why does one convert 8-bit pics to 16-bit? Not sure if this is an apt comparison, but it seems to me that that's kind of like upscaling, in video. Which I've always taken to mean adding redundant information to a file so that it 'fits' the larger canvas, but to no material improvement. In the case of video, I think I'd rather watch a 1080p movie on an HD (1080) screen (here I go again with my pixel-to-pixel prejudice), than watch a 1080p movie on a 4K TV, upscaled. But I'm ready to be wrong here, too. Maybe there would be no discernible difference? Maybe even though the source material were 1080p, I could still sit closer to the 4K TV, because of the smaller and more densely packed array of pixels. Or maybe I only get that benefit when it's a 4K picture on a 4K screen? Anyway, this is probably a different can of worms. I'm assuming that in the case of photo editing, converting from 8 to 16-bit allows one more room to work before bad things start to happen?
I'm recent to Lightroom and still in the process of organizing from Aperture. Being forced to "this is your life" through all the years (I don't recommend!), I realize probably all of my pictures older than 7 years ago are jpeg, and probably low-fi at that. I'm wondering how I should handle them, if and when I do. I'm noting your settings, ssprengel.
ssprengel Apr 28, 2015 9:40 PM
I save my PS intermediate or final master copy of my work as a 16-bit TIF still in the ProPhotoRGB, and only when I'm ready to share the image do I convert to sRGB then 8-bits, in that order, then do File / Save As: Format=JPG.
Part of the same question, I guess - why convert back to 8-bits? Is it for the recipient? Do some machines not read 16-bit? Something else?
For those of you working in these larger color spaces and not working with a wide gamut display, I'd love to know if there are any reasons you choose not to. Because I guess my biggest concern in all of this has been tied to what we're potentially losing by not seeing the breadth of the color space we work in represented while making value adjustments to our images. Based on what several have said here, it seems that the instances when our displays are unable to represent something as intended are infrequent, and when they do arise, they're usually not extreme.
Simon G E Garrett Apr 29, 2015 4:57 AM
With 8 bits, there are 256 possible values. If you use those 8 bits to cover a wider range of colours, then the difference between two adjacent values - between 100 and 101, say - is a larger difference in colour. With ProPhoto RGB in 8-bits there is a chance that this is visible, so a smooth colour wedge might look like a staircase. Hence ProPhoto RGB files might need to be kept as 16-bit TIFs, which of course are much, much bigger than 8-bit jpegs.
Over the course of my 'studies' I came across a side-by-side comparison of either two color spaces and how they handled value gradations, or 8-bit vs 16-bit in the same color space. One was a very smooth gradient, and the other was more like a series of columns, or as you say, a staircase. Maybe it was comparing sRGB with AdobeRGB, both as 8-bit. And how they handled the same "section" of value change. They're both working with 256 choices, right? So there might be some instances where, in 8-bit, the (numerically) same segment of values is smoother in sRGB than in AdobeRGB, no? Because of the example Simon illustrated above?
Oh, also -- in my Lumix LX100 the options for color space are sRGB or AdobeRGB. Am I correct to say that when I'm shooting RAW, these are irrelevant or ignored? I know there are instances (certain camera effects) where the camera forces the shot as a jpeg, and usually in that instance I believe it will be forced sRGB.
Thanks again. I think it's time to change some settings..

Hi braambotha,
The most likely cause of this issue is that the PDF wasn't tagged properly to indicate the table cells, so Excel has no idea where to place the content in the converted file. Do you know how that PDF was created, and in what application?
You may have better luck saving directly to Excel from within Acrobat. You're welcome to try Acrobat for 30 days to see if it suits your needs. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

Why does opening and closing FPGA references increase Windows XP handles by 3?

Hello.
We run a test system here that uses TestStand to communicate
to a number of Labview VI modules which in turn communicates to a
PXI-7833R FPGA. Everything has been working fine except after a long time running Labview would get an out of memory error. I discovered
after a particular VI was run 100,000 times, the number of handles in Windows XP Task
Manager grew to about 370,000. The number of threads and processes remains stable and normal. Closing Labview removes all the excessive handles.
I tried an experiment to create a standalone VI (ie: no TestStand) which simply opens the FPGA VI reference then closes the reference. This is repeated 4 times in the same VI. The number of handles in Windows XP Task
Manager increased by 12 each time the VI was run. No errors. This indicates closing the FPGA reference might not be working.
Why does this happen? Is there a way to avoid it? The version of Labview is 8.5.1.
Appreciate any help here. Thanks.
-Dave

could be related to this known issue--
FPGA FIFO reset behavior—When you use an FPGA target
emulator, FPGA FIFOs reset when the VI is stopped and then started
again. When you use an FPGA target with Interactive Front Panel
Communication, FPGA FIFOs do not reset when the FPGA VI is stopped and
then started again. To reset the FIFO, right-click the FPGA target in
the Project Explorer window and select Download
from the shortcut menu. When you control an FPGA VI using Programmatic
FPGA Interface Communication, use the Close FPGA VI Reference function
with the Close and Reset shortcut menu option selected or the Invoke Method with the Reset method selected to reset FPGA FIFOs
see Knowledgebase
Also remeber to load the FPGA Read/Write VI's dynamically from testStand and dump them after. Thechange to the data type causes the vi to need to recompile so it can't stay in memory if you need different types of data.

Why does itunes and other media continue to play when i close the lid on my macbook pro 2011???

Hey, I am new to mac and still getting used to it (making the transition from windows), its amazing! Anyhow, I cannot figure out why my itunes and other media like youtube or a film on vlc player continues to play once the lid has been closed. I thought that when i close the lid the macbook should then sleep. It does everytime when there is nothing playing. The little white light on the bottom right hand corner of the book is on but music continues to play.
The sleep option always works. If I press the power button and choose the option sleep it does so etcc.
Is this normal and am I just being stupid or is there a problem??
I bought the laptop from ebay, its a macbook pro late 2011 17inch. I dont have apple support and might have to make a trip into London to the mac store however I was hoping someone can help me...
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Thanks if you can it is muc appreciated....!!

hey, thanks for the reply. I don't know to be perfectly honest. When I close the lid without any music playing it sleeps fine. How could I check?
So basically I pressed the power button and pressed sleep. The laptop turned off and the little white light turned on no problem. I did the same thing with closing the lid and it went to sleep no problem. (Can you confirm that when the little white light is on it means the laptop is sleeping)??.
I then had itunes playing and pressed the power button and when i pressed sleep the music paused then 6 seconds later it went to sleep. I then had itunes playing and closed the lid and the music kept on playing even though the white light was on.

Why does iOS7 and Mavericks have different icons for apps?

I love apple simple desige and intuitive approach.
BUT why does not Contacts, Calender etc have the same icons anymore between your operating systems?
This is not simple and it is not intuiative.....
Alexander

The removal of all the skeuomorphic elements from iOS and OS X is only partially complete. Doubtless we'll see this change as updates come out, though whether Apple will go with the exact same icons in both iOS and OS X for any given app remains to be seen. You can express your opinion to Apple via their feedback page, if you wish:

Why does Pan and Zoom mess up my timeline

Please forgive my ignorance as I am relatively new to this.
I just about have a finished video which include video clips and still images. I just went to add a Pan and Zoom effect to a still image and when I hit done it messed up my timeline - See below
First picture is the finished movie
Second picture you can see I added a Pan and zoom to the still image the marker is on
I can see the Pan and Zoom effecting the track it's on but why does it effect multiple tracks and can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Steve

ultrasp98
Looks like Premiere Elements 12. On what computer operating system. Just in case we need to get into version specific details.
But this looks like an Premiere Elements issue in general.
Use of the Premiere Elements Pan and Zoom Tool results in the increased duration for the still to which the pan and zoom effect has
been applied.. The extent of the increased duration depends on how many frames you added to the effect. That was a just in case mention, you may have
known all that already.
I point that out since the increased duration of your still probably triggered the chain reaction in all parts of the Timeine.
There are various maneuvers to control disturbances of the existing Timeline when a new component is added. In this case, at this time, I am not sure what triggered your particular chain of events. But, please look at the following as a possible control of the situation that you described.
Select all at one time the content that you want to stay together, click anywhere in the selection and select Group. You can ungroup
this group later if you want. The individual components of the Group will move as one until you ungroup. To make the selection of
all the clips going into the Group, draw a rectangle with the mouse cursor to select those clips.
Another thought might be to do the still pan and zoom in an isolated unused portion of the Timeline and then move it into place in the
existing Timeline, holding down the Ctrl or Alt key as you make the placement.
Please consider and then let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thank you.
