'GetInfo' file does not work!

Hey Folks,
I have a strange problem...
I have just migrated on a PPC-G5 from an Intel processor Mac (I have used the migration assistant utility) and the 'GetInfo' file doesn't work. I cannot have access to any file informations.
The most surprising thing is this problem happens under my account only. There is 2 account on the computer and the 'GetInfo' works fine when I am logged-in under the second account.
Do some one have an idea?
Thanks for your help,
Arnaud

The thing is I have migrated from a (slow) MacIntel to a (fast) PPC-G5, and not the opposite. The 'Get Info' file function does not work...
The same rules apply. Migration Assistant migrates wholesale lots of elements of the operating system. You'll be finding a needle in a haystack trying to find the right thing that doesn't belong.
Your best bet is to erase and install the operating system that came with the G5, and restore piecemeal the documents and applications which will run on a G5.
A MacIntel should not be slow, unless you depend a lot on old PowerPC applications that require G5 or G4 power. MacIntels may require more RAM as well.
Unfortunately the differences between CPUs are great enough that plugins and drivers simply don't transfer over well when done by the Migration Assistant.

"Always ask me where to save files" does not work.

Summary: The "Always ask me where to save files" feature does not work. No dialog box comes up, apparently because the browser is stuck on a bad old read-only lastDir location, in a prefs.js file that I can't edit.
Details:
I am using Firefox 30.0 on Mac OS 10.6.8. My Mac has a both a read/write Mac partition that I use most of the time, and a bootcamp Windows partition drive ("C"), which I can read but not write to.
At some point I accidentally tried to download a file from a site, using Firefox, to the read-only Windows C drive. Ever since that time, I have not been able to download any files from Firefox, except to the firefox/downloads folder. This is inconvenient. If, in preferences, I try to set downloads to ""Always ask me where to save files", the dialog box does not come up when I actually try to save files. This problem does not apply to saving photos by right-clicking them.
If I open, in text-edit, mozilla/firefox/profiles/t4vockvue.default/prefs.js, which was saved yesterday, I can see a problematic line. It reads:
user_pref("browser.download.lastDir", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc]");
C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc] being the read-only windows directory.
This prefs.js is apparently not an editable file.
I tried to fix this by opening a browser tab in Firefox and opening about:config. The editable browser.download.lastDir does NOT show the same "lastDir"....it shows some directory that I successfully downloaded photos to, by right-clicking on a photo.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.

To confirm which profile folder is active when you are running Firefox, it is easiest to open it from inside Firefox as follows:
Sometimes the file that stores the customizations becomes corrupted and fails to update properly at the end of your session. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show in Finder" button (Windows: "Show Folder" button).
Hopefully you are using a separate profile folder on each OS.

Link in pdf-file does not work on Ipad

With my site www.bartkuijer.nl I offer visitors the free possibility to see (and download) sheetmusic, from music written by me. These are pdf-files. But they can not only SEE the sheetmusic; the music on that pdf-files can also be PLAYED. That's done bij clicking on a link in that pdf-file to a mp3-file of the music on my site.
This works fine on a pc. When I try this on the Ipad of my wife it DOES NOT WORK!
So my question is: how come? And what to do to make this work also fine on an Ipad.
This is important for me, because I want this sheetmusic to place as Ipad-apps for free.

It works!
But not with a pdf-file. The Ipad does not recognize links in a pdf-file.
Te solution is found by making a htm-file with emdedding a quicktime-player and images of the music. This is my first Ipad product. On a pc the player starts immediately; on the Ipad it has to be started.
Now I have to work on a solution to change this to an app

Hyperlink to a music file does not work, Am I doing it incorrectly?

Hello there. I am a composer, trying to add all my music samples to the website. I created a title of one of the music samples, then hyperlinked it to that corresponding music file (mp3), so, when you click on that title, it links it to THAT music file. But, it does not work when I click on the link. If I assign the link to another page for example, the link works. What am I doing wrong here. Or is this not possible? I would hate to have a whole list of music files on one page, especially with that "add image here" box on every one of them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The file has to be uploaded to your server and then linked to as an external page using the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane with the option to open in a new window.
You'll get the same effect as with the music example in this demo page but with a full sized window instead of a smaller one: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window.
This method would let you add the links to all of your songs to one page. Or you could use a music jutebox for those songs like Roddy has on his iWeb for Musicians site:
Jukebox Alive
Juke It Jukebox
This would reduce your site size considerably. But all these methods require you to upload the audio files to the server and link to them there.

Some Flash files does not work in the Portal

Hi,
Anybody know why I have problems viewing some flash files in Content Management in the portal?
The file extention is .swf
I have a number of files. All of them works locally. When uploading them, there are a few of them that does not work.
They can simply not be showed. Not in JSP and not by clicking on them. Very strange.

Hi Flemming,
this could be a compression problem. Try to disable output compresssion for .swf files and the corresponding mime type 'application/x-shockwave-flash'. Click <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ad/08d52d6d95864492a6a5931bb62716/frameset.htm">here</a> for more information how to disable compression.
Regards, Roland
PS: disabling compression for .swf is no performance problem, because they are already compressed.

Hp 6700 option to scan to single file or multiple files does not work-scans to single files only

Cannot find a way to scan multiple documents to a single file. The option on the Scan function does not work!

Hi @apdamw
Have you tried saving the scanned pages as a PDF? When you choose PDF in the format option, you will see the option to choose save all pages to a single file, or create a seperate file for each scanned page. Depending on what option you see, you will need to tick or untick the option.

Purchased file does not work!

I have just recently purchased The Ricky Gervais Show Season 1 and it came in 3 parts and part 1 does not work, the other 2 work fine.
I have tried authorizing the computer again but still only part 2 and 3 play on iTunes/iPod.
If I could get some help on this matter I would be very thankful
Thanks
Chris Wilson
P.S. I used a gift card to purchase this item

What exactly do they do? Just not play? Give an error message? Skip? Ask you to authorize the files? Give as detailed of an explanation of the issue as possible so we can know where to start.

Swf file does not work from InDesign

I am not sure if this is a Flash or InDesign question, so i will post on both..
I am trying to embed an “animated” swf file (that was created in flash) into an InDesign layout and then export the InDesign layout to swf. in the resulting html file my navigation works ok but the swf file does not play “animate” when viewed in html or flash. It only shows up as a graphic.
I have tried exporting the ID file to xfl and bringing it into flash but then none of my animation works. What am I doing wrong?
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
mattG

You´re doing nothing wrong. SWF export of InDesign CS4 doesn´t support any media files. You can place videos, sounds and animations into indesign layout, but if you export to SWF, they won´t work in resulting SWF. They work in interactive PDF.
And you can export your basic layout to Flash CS4 by using XFL export and import those media elements in Flash, but that may be quite a job. I have been strugled a lot with that method. My files used to go really messy when I open them in Flash.

Rule created to monitor a single line entries in a text.log file does not work

Hi All,
I have this strange issue. I created a script which generates .log file and i have configured a rule to monitor it. Whenever the .log is altered the alert does not come at all in SCOM 2012 R2.
I want this alert to be raised when one specific line in the center is altered from LISTENING to NOT LISTENING.
I have configured it. It triggered a alert for the first time and again it did not trigger at all.
I created this rule and disabled it and overrided the value to true only to the MS acting as the watcher for this log file.
The log file generates in the local drive of the MS itself.
Changed the log watcher to a different server and also mentioned the application data source to a network location when the watcher was changed so it can pull the log accordingly.
The log is generated in the MS itself. Tried using both local location where the log is located as well as converted the same to a network location still didn't help.
C:\Port_checker is the directory where the .log file is located also there is no other log file present only 1.
I also changed the parameters such as "Contains, Wildcard matches etc but nothing worked.
Screenshots:
2.
The SCOM Action account has Full permissions on all servers over the entire forest itself.
Target used to create this rule is "Windows server operating system"
Can any one help me please.
Gautam.75801

Since you have a script that updates a file line from "LISTENING" to "NOT LISTENING"
you might want to try and configure a Two State Script Unit Monitor rather then a rule. So your script just need to check say every 5 minutes the content of the log file and generate an alert when it matches "Not Listening" and clear when
it changes to "listening".

DMS Connector to Portal Issue PDF files does not work

I have a general issue regarding PDF files from DMS, these files are all defect when opened through the portal (works fine through backend access), but other document types works fine (like .doc;.ppt, *.xsl etc..).
It is possible to download the file to your local pc, but still the same error occurs.
When Adobe Reader opens a info box shows The file is damaged and could not be repaired.
I have tried to update Acrobat Reader without any luck.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance

I will never understand why but in the end I rebuilt my 32 bit dell laptop from scratch and the pdf files can now be searched.
I cannot search them on a mapped drive as I was able to with Windows XP because now they must be indexed and windows 7 will seems not to allow a mapped location to be indexed which must be done to make the pdf files searchable so I have had to move the files to the local drive.
My Windows 7 64 bit systems can search the mapped drives just fine without needing to be indexed. Again I will never understand why this works and the 32 bit machine does not.

"Open In" functionality with .ibooks file does not work

I am using the latest iBooksAuthor v2.2 and exporting an iBook to the .ibooks file format. I have tried with and without a version number. When I import the .ibooks file using the "Open In" functionality on the iPad it opens in the iBooks app. However, if the book is already in iBooks it does not overwrite the existing iBook with the new file that has the changes I have made. Am I missing a setting somewhere to ensure this works?

Hello kbbean,
The resource below will explain how to publish and update to your previously published book in the iBooks Store:
iBooks Author: How to update your published book in the iBooks Store - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202443
Learn how to update a book that you published to the iBooks Store.
Before you can publish an update to your book:
You must have a Paid Books Account or Free Books Account.
You must have submitted your book to the iBooks Store at least one time.
You must install iTunes Producer on your Mac.
You must install iBooks Author 2.0 or later. We recommend the latest version of iBooks Author.
Your book’s file size can't be larger than 2 GB.
If you want to update your screenshots, use Contact Us in iTunes Connect. You can't update the screenshots that appear with your book in the iBooks Store via a redelivery. You can add screenshots to iTunes Producer only the first time you publish your book.
When you're ready to publish an update to your book:
Open the book (.iba file) that you'd like to update in iBooks Author.
Make the desired changes to your book.
Click Publish in the iBooks Author toolbar, or choose it in the File menu.

Windows 7 32 bit search of PDF files does not work

I have installed Windows 7 on a 32 bit Dell Laptop and I can no longer search the content of my PDF files using Microsoft's search in Windows Explorer which I need to do. I’ve tried following the advice listed on several sites on line and nothing seems to work. My 64bit processor required a download of Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms and those systems work fine. All the write-ups suggest that Reader XI for 32 bit Windows 7 has the filter built in and Microsoft indexing indicates it is there but I still can't search for words in a PDF like I could using Windows XP.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for any help.

Webutil - Delete file does not work

Hi,
I'm unable to delete a client file with this webutil function call:
"webutil_file.delete_file('d:\tempdoc.doc')"
It does not throw up any errors but the doc just stays there. Other WebUtil OLE calls are functioning properly.
What could be the possible reasons for this.
Thanks,
-Sunil

It works in the webutil demo...maybe the permissions on the file mean it cannot be deleted or maybe it is locked.
Worth checking?
