Is there a way to reach remote files with KDE? [Solved, I hope]

I cant reach anything remote any longer. At first I noticed that Kate was unable to open remote files. But there is more, I cant even navigate on my own network. Before the update my network was almost as an internal disk and now its completely useless. The plasma 5 file navigator is a total joke. Network isn't even an option there, only local files.
Is there a fix to this or will there be updates with a solution? I have tried various tips and installed kio-xxx.
My current KDE version is 4.14.6.

You wrote that you're on KDE4 in your first post. This would mean you currently have a mix of qt4 and qt5 apps running.
I know Kate was ported to qt5 already, as well as gwenview, not sure about others. Those won't be able to display the native dialog anymore, because they only include the latest version of the Qt dialog, while you need the older one.
I remember reading about Kate not being able to read from network files because it needs the qt5 version of the framework to do so.
The solution to get that and the native file dialogs would be to either
- update to kde5
- downgrade the affected apps to the last version which used qt4
Personally, I currently froze all my kde packages at their kde4 versions, because kde5 was running less that stable on my test machine. This is usually frowned upon, because you're missing out on any security/bug fixes the newer versions might contain.
But in case of kde5, I'd rather have a stable system that might or might not be vulnerable, than an unstable one.
Also, updating to kde5 actually reverses the problem from what I remember: you will get the native dialog for all apps already ported to kde5 and the generic one for all that have not yet been ported.

Is there a way to open CSV files with more than 255 columns?

I have a CSV file with more than 255 columns of data. It's a fairly standard export of social media data that shows volume of posts by day for the past year, from which I can analyze the data and publish customized charts. Very easy in Excel but I'm hitting the Numbers limit of 255 columns per table. Is there a way to work around the limitation? Perhaps splitting the CSV in two? The data shows up in the CSV file when I open via TextEdit, so it's there. Just can't access it in Numbers. And it's not very usable/useful for me in TextEdit.
Regards,
Tim

You might be better off with Excel. Even if you could find a way to easily split the CSV file into two tables, it would be two tables when you want only one. You said you want to make charts from this data. While a series on a chart can be constructed from data in two different tables, to do so takes a few extra steps for each series on the chart.
For a test to see if you want to proceed, make two small tables with data spanning the tables and make a chart from that data. Make the chart the normal way using the data in the first table then repeat the following steps for each series
Select the series in the chart
Go to Format sidebar
Click in the "Value" box
Add a comma then select the data for this series from the second chart
Press Return
If there is an easier way to do this, maybe someone else will chime in with that info.

Is there any way to open a file with a .msi extension on my new mac?

I have Camtasia from the pc I was using. It has a .msi file extension for the installation file. Is there any way to open the Camtasia installation file with the .msi extension on my new Mac?
Thanks,

That's a Microsoft program which requires Windows. You could run on your Mac if you install Windows on it.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Is there a way to import .AI file with layers attached?

Currently when I open .ai file, all the layers are gone. Is there a way to maintain those layers in Photoshop CS4 or CS5?

Don't get your hopes up, depending on the features from your file you could have some or even all your layers flattened, even if you save as a PSD out of Illustrator. The best way to work between Illustrator and Photoshop is to save your Illustrator file as a native .AI file and then import it as a Smart Object in Photoshop using File->Place or File->Open as Smart Object.

Is there a way to convert audio files with the new PlayForSure software sui

When I use the old Media Source Audio Converter and transfer the wma file to my Zen I get a message that the audio codec is not supported. I don't think my Media Source plug ins for PlayForSure devices are working or something.

The exact error message is: "The audio file format is not supported or exceeds the playback capability of this device." Then when you click on "More Information" it says: Codec 0X62 is not supported.
This is retarded man, maybe if Creative would release software THAT ACTUALLY WORKED with their frigging devices they would sell more MP3 players.

Is there a way to "stamp" PDF files with the purchaser's email address?

I would like to sell PDF reports and/or eBooks via BC, but I would like to be able to stamp each such PDF/eBook with the purchaser's email address.
There are certainly stand-alone PDF stamper programs and some providers like gumroad.com already offer that feature.
Anyone actually done it with BC, please?
Thanks in advance

THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

Is there a way to see a file browser on iCloud? It says my account is filled up to 5G already and I can't imagine what it moved over to there that was that big.
I'm wondering if it moved my rhapsody music to the cloud (which is pointless) so I shut off 'document' sharing in case that's the problem, but it's still saying I'm at 5G right now.
When I go to icloud.com all I see is the dumb app icons, with no clue as to what's taking up that disk space.
btw, I did not sync photos from the get-go.
A file browser? please? I need to see my cloud.
sigh

Have you enabled Automatic Downloads on all of your devices? This would download all of the books to all of your devices when you download on any device - as long as you are using the same Apple ID and iTunes account on all of your devices.
Go to Settings>Store>Automatic Downloads>Books>On. When you download a book on one iDevice, it will download to all of your iDevices. This will only work for downloads moving forward from the moment that you turn the setting on. You will have to download the previously purchased books to all of your other devices.
With iCloud, you can start reading the book on one device and then pickup where you left off on another device.

Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS

Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS. This unit should be joining a Windows Server 2008 R2 network and needs to be shared with all users. This unit will replace a File server running Win 2003 SP2.
Message was edited by: Hermann Koster
Thank you very much for your reply. The idea is to decommission the Windows file server which is running Windows Server 2003 SP2 operating system but is not running as a DC but just a member server. All this server is doing is providing file server services so my idea is to replace it with the NSS 324 box. My only concern is that when my NSS joins the domain all my users would be able to see and access network shares transparently, the same way they saw the former W2003 file server. After I transferred the data from File server I will use the same for NSS that was used for file server as well as same IP address and folders path as before.
Any suggestions or advice?
Once again thank you very much for your reply.
Cheers,

The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS. This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
You can connect to an external HDD via a USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
Hope that helps!!

Is there a way to create pdf files offline?

Is there a way to create pdf files offline?

Certainly, that's what Acrobat does. (But not Adobe's PDF Pack).
Note that you will need an internet connection to install Acrobat and (so far as I know) every month to check your license. So it's no use if you will be off net.

Is there any way to create a file compatible with Premiere Pro

Is there any way to create a file in Premiere elements that is compatible with Premiere Pro and that can be used in Premiere Pro

Consternation
The important information that I do not see mentioned nor offered by you.
1.What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running? What version of Premiere Pro do you want to use?
The Premiere Pro Import Supported Formats seem to indicate that it will accept the Premiere Elements project.prel (project file) on Windows Only.
Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Supported file formats
This may or may not be possible depending on damaged projects or outdated elements.
2. If you want to export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and subsequently import that into your Premiere Pro version, that "should" work. You would go to the Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/ and make a selection based on what the Premiere Pro Import Supported file formats are and what you need. I can help you with that. But, details first.
But, just a "beware"...when you get to Premiere Elements 11 or 12 (if that is the version involved) Publish+Share/Computer/ there are several categories, but all you see is Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The rest of the list that includes AVI and QuickTime which both need to be scrolled to all of the time to see them, not just sometimes, with the thin scroll bar to the right of the list of choices. You can export files
with AVI file extension, under Publish+Share/Computer/AVI
with MOV file extension, under Publish + Share/Computer/QuickTime
And, if you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, you are not going to have presets for the QuickTime export.
Remember, there is more to an export than just its file extension. Know your other export properties as well.
In many cases, you can customize the export settings to suit your requirements.
Problems will exist if you are trying to go from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Pro Mac or vice versa.
I would be glad for the opportunity to help you with this issue, but details are needed.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Is there a way to open a file when it says it needs DMR?

Is there a way to open a file when it says it needs DMR?

Maybe you can let her play on your computer where it may be easier to restrict what she can do, provided there's an OS X equivalent. Of course supervision is probably the safest solution until she is old enough to understand she shouldn't do anything that's not permitted. But then she'd probably be old enough not to need to learn her ABSs.

Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

I have hundreds of files all in upper case that are driving me crazy. I can select them one at a time, right click and then select Transformations/Capitalize. Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

You could use Automator to do this - take a look at the article at http://www.wikihow.com/Batch-Rename-Files-in-Mac-OS-X-Using-Automator to see how this might be done.
Good luck...
