How do I put a file in my path and chmod it +x?

I want to transfer karaoke files from my mac to my iphone (to use with karaoke anywhere). On a different message board someone explained how to do it, but I have no idea how to put a file in my path and chmod it +x; I know very little about computers.
If it helps, the explanation that I don't understand is in post 6 of the following thread: http://forum.joltsoft.net/topic/32/bulk-transfer/

Create a subdirectory call bin
mkdir $HOME/bin
Put the qsend php script in the bin directory. Make the qsend php script executable
chmod +x $HOME/bin/qsend
Add the following to your shell initialization file (more on the name in a moment). You can use an editor such as nano from the Terminal, or Fraise (free download), or TextWrangler (free download)
export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
About the initialization file. It will be either .bash_profile or .profile (NOTE: by default neither file will exist on your system, unless you created one in the past).
Because these names start with a dot, they are hidden from the Finder, so you will need to use the Terminal and the "ls -a" command
ls -a $HOME/.bash_profile $HOME/.profile
If you already have a .bash_profile, add the export PATH="..." to .bash_profile
If you do not have .bash_profile, but you do have a .profile, then add the export to .profile
If you do not have either of those files, then create .bash_profile using nano, Fraise, or TextWrangler.
You can find out more information about bash shell initialization files using the command "man bash".
Once you have added your export PATH="..." command, quit the Terminal, and restart a new session, which will cause your bash shell to read the initialization file you just modified.
You should now be able to use your qsend script.

    Or put the file name as Copyright in Metadata and add Watermark (Simple Copyright) on Export!
    A plugin called LR/Transporter could probably automate that. However, I don't think many people will want to do this once all usages of the image are considered!
    So an export plugin called LR/Mogrify (which calls in the utility ImageMagick as an output processor) would be the next suggestion. This should let you put more or less whatever image parameter you want, onto the image as an automated label - also add borders outside or inside the image boundary, place the thumbnail inside a larger square canvas, a few other options. Then that can all be saved as a LR export preset for greater convenience and repeatability in the future.

  • How do I put recovery files back into ASM?

    I'm trying to recover a database for testing. I have all the backup files in a directory. I've restored the controlfile.
    When I run the restore, the error is:
    RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 10/21/2009 19:24:52
    RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 4 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 3 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 2 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
    I'm guessing that I either need to tell rman where to find the files or put the files back into the ASM +FLASHBACK.
    So 1) How do I tell rman that the files are now in a directory
    or 2) How do I put the files back into ASM?
    Thanks - JR

    I restored the control file with the rman "RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'filenamegoeshere'; It was the control file backup from the corresponding DB backup.
    I couldn't use the RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP because it was expecting the backup files to be in the ASM +FLASHBACK.
    The catalog lists all the files that I have, but it thinks they are in ASM.
    Thanks - JR

  • How can i put Jar Files in Java Runtime.?

    HI,
    how can i put jar files in JRE so that they are accessible every where.? is there some way.?
    Regards,
    AA

    Closest you could get to this I think is to explode all your jars into the same parent directory. Then if you put that directory on the classpath, you should be able to access all classes in all jar files

  • How do a scan a file from my scanner and make it a PDF. . . . I do not see this choice in the Adobe program?

    How do a scan a file from my scanner and make it a PDF. . . . I do not see this choice in the Adobe program?
    In the past I would simply place a copy of the document on my scanner, then selected create PDF from scanner.  However, there is now no create PDF from scanner alternative, option or choice.  The only option available is selected file to convert to PDF.  what am I to do?

    That would have been a function of your scanning software. Adobe Reader is only used to view the pdf that your scanning software created.

  • How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    Hi Plissey1950,
    Sorry for the lengthy delay to a response.  Are you trying to convert multiple files to individual PDF files at the same time? (not combine them).  If so, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat for this function. The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to convert multiple files to multiple individual PDF files.
    Thanks,
    David
