Will changing the suffix on the file type make the file readable on devices

I read on the forums that you can just change the .mov to .mp4 to get devices to recognize the file. It that correct or does the file actually need to be converted? I am trying to get a Quicktime movie to play on an Android phone.

I'm of the "try it and see" school.
I've changed .wav to .mp3 and had it work. I suggest using the free MediaInfo Mac to see which codecs are used (namely some mp4 variant video and probably aac /mp4 audio). With my wav I could see it was basically a mpeg layer III codec so it was a mp3.
Probably a .mov from iMovie will have a more complex structure and I don't think in that case it will just be a matter of tricking it with changing extensions.

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - e.g. from Word to All Files

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - most recently specifically in Adobe Acrobat, from Adobe Files to All Files, so I don't have to do it again and again manually. Is this possible? Is it an OS setting or an app-specific setting?

The Apps set the default to the file type it can open, sort of. However, there normally isn't a type specified. All document types that the app can handle will be offered.
Adobe, and Microsoft, tend to roll their own dialogs, so they may not be standard. I don't have Acrobat, so I can't verify that. If Adobe is puting a file type selector in their open file dialogs, it would be up to them to store the preferences.
EDIT: I checked Reader, and i see what you mean. Not terribly useful.

Attach any file type in the same format and send it thorugh mail

Dear Guru ,
I have encountered an issue which i am not able to resolve .
The issue is like this I need to upload any kind of file type(such as .txt, .xls, .pdf, .doc, .jpeg, .bmp)
and need to send that file send that particular file and the same file type format attached in the mail.
how i should approch to get solution to this issue.
I have gone through the all prog refered in the code gallry (related to send mail with attachment) but i am not able to find out any prog which is giving guidine line attach any kind of file type from the PC (most of the prog is with either taking filetype .txt, .xls or RAW) and send it via mail .

Thanks & regards

Dear Saha Da,
Yes saha da i know using SO00 or Sap Business Workplace (SBWP) you can send it.
But the requirment is like this it must have to do from the selection scereen of the prog .User can save the path of the file which is residing in pc in a variant and from that variant prog will run in background to automate the process.
We can do it using harcoding the filetype while uploading data from the selection screen.
But we have to provide the flexiblity to the user so that he/she can change to any file or any file path.
I am not pretty sure but i my plan i am thinking 1st i will provide the provision of uploading the file into sap application server and from there we will read the file type , file content and send it to mail.
I know it can be done but right now dont know how it can be done ..... but i will findout...
Can you give me some more guideline reagrding this.
Thanks & regards

Is there a way to set the aspect ratio or file type in the camera for video settings?

I always convert my .MOV videos to WMV so I can upload to my web site. However, with my new iPhone (iOS7), the vidoes are distorted due to aspect ratio issues. I'd like to set the output aspect ratio and.or file type when I create a new video on my iPhone 5s.

There is no user setting for this in the native iOS app. It is possible that if you use some other 3rd party app you can make some changes to that, but I'm not sure. There are also no settings for changing the file type on the phone itself.
I've not experienced any issues with distortion on mine, but it could be your converter. Have you tried another one?

Shrink the List of File Types in the Save As List

How to I simplify the list of file types in the Save-As file type list? I use less than six file types. I have no need for most of these.
It would be nice to have my top 5 and then the ability to go off-menu if needed for others.
Thanks,
Drew

I was able to reduce the list of file types by changing some file extensions. In the following folder
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Required\Plug-Ins\File Formats
I inserted a tilda (~) into the file extension for these files:
Cineon.~8bi
Dicom.~8bi
JPEG2000.~8bi
PCX.~8bi
Pixar.~8bi
Radiance.~8bi
U3D.~8bi
Adobe Photoshop CC has "File Formats" in 4 different places! Two each for the x86 and 64 bit versions.
Since I don't use the x86 version very much, there was no great desire to mess with those two folders.
I'd would also like to get rid of
JPEG Stereo (*.JPS)
Multi-Picture Format (*.MPO)
Photoshop Raw (*.RAW)
Portable Bit Map (*.PBM, *.PGM, *.PPM...)
I see "Camera Raw.8bi" in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats
but renaming it didn't help.
For others who want to do this, and are concerned, just make a note of the file extensions you are changing so you know how to return to the way things were if you ever need to save as a file type that has been removed from your list.
You must relaunch Photoshop after making any file name changes to see the effects.
Any ideas on how to get rid of 4 more file types from my list?

I don't have pdf documents listed as a file type in the applications drop down menu so I cannot manage the handling of these file types. How do I get the pdf file recognised?

After a little Googling, it looks like B.Media is a content management system from Wave Corporation used for making catalogs. Doubtful you'd be able to license it at less than an enterprise level.

HT2513 How do you change the name of a reminder in the reminder list. I right click and then choose "get information" I can change the colour of the reminder but when I type in the name that I want and then press enter the name stays as "untitled".

Jerry,
Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
Thanks, Maz

Adobe Reader could not open .img because it is either not a supported file type or the file damaged

Yes, *.img is either a stone old image format (as in picture/ photo) or a shorthand for a disk image archive. If you're reasonably sure it's a pixel image, use a converter like IrfanView or XnView and turn it into something Acrobat/ Reader can actually use...

I think you should ask in the Digital Editions forum, Adobe Digital Editions

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

Thank you Menneisyys.
By transcription I mean being able to take what was said in the interview and have those words converted into written text. So I think your second option's a bit closer to what I was looking for.
The inelegant solution would be to buy Dragon Naturally Speaking software, load it up on another computer, stand my i-pad next to it, and have the words transcribed that way - an analog approach, as it were.
O course, I could just spend the next several hours tying up the interview, which is something I kinda hope to avoid.
Thanks again - Jim

You can copy the contents and paste it into a Word file. Just don't expect everything to transfer or to retain all of the formatting.

Early today Alt, Ctr and Click and drag changed the brush size. Now it makes the move tool work. Anyone have this problem. I think Adobe had an update and put a bug in the program.
