3rd. party software files disappeared!!!

Since my Lion install, all of my files for a 3rd. party software I use have vanished. It is a software I use to run a digital die cutting machine. Any ideas how to recover them???? These are not free files, I had to pay for each one. the software opens fine and seems to run the

LOL!! I don't know what happened!! anyway, i'm fairly illiterate when you start mentioning p-lists since i actually deleted some of them from my iMac recently. i was behaving in a cavalier manner when trying to find some disk space on my 250g hd. (dumb, i know). right now i'm on my macbook pro and haven't deleted anything.
is main menu free??? i've contacted the die cut company regarding the issue and i'll see what they say. technically the cutting files are not saved on your hard drive. u access them when you open the software and i'm assuming they live on the server. the only way they would be on my computer is if i resaved them to another folder, which i didn't do. mainly because i didn't want to clog up my drive. most users don't save the files to their computer for that reason. i could save and back up to an ehd, but i haven't.
thanks for your help!
ps-love your username....that was my favorite cereal of all time!

Automator - Loop through a text file and process data through a 3rd party software

Just stumbled on Automator the other day (I am a mac n00b) and would like to automate the processing of a text file, line-by-line, using a third party tool. I would like Automator to loop through the text file one line at a time, copy the string and keep as a variable. Next, place the variable data (copied string) into the text field of the 3rd party software for processing. Once the processing is complete, I would like Automator to fetch the next line/string for processing. I see items like "copy from clipboard" and "variables" within the menu but I am not finding much documentation on how to utilizle this tool. Just hear how potentially powerful it is.
The 3rd party software is not a brand name, just something made for me to process text. I may have to use mouse clicks or tabs + [return] to navigate with Automator. A term I heard on Bn Walldie's itunes video series was "scriptable software" for which I don't think this 3rd party app would be.
Kind regards,
jw

Good news and bad news...
The good news is that it should be entirely possible to automate your workflow.
The bad news is that it will be a nightmare to implement via Automator, if it's even possible.
Automator is, essentially a pretty interface on top of AppleScript/Apple Events, and with the pretty interface comes a certain stranglehold on features. Knowing how to boil rice might make you a cook, but understanding flavor profiles and ingredient combinations can make you a chef, and it's the same with AppleScript and Automator. Automator's good at getting you from points A to B but if there are any bumps in the road (e.g. the application you're using isn't scriptable) then it falls apart.
What I'm getting at is that your requirements are pretty simple to implement in AppleScript because you can get 'under the hood' and do exactly what you want, as opposed to Automator's restricted interface.
The tricky part is that if no one else can see this app it's going to be hard to tell you what to do.
I can give you the basics on reading a file and iterating through the lines of text in it, and I can show you how to 'type' text in any given application, but it may be up to you to put the pieces together.
Here's one way of reading a file and working through each line of text:
-- ask the user for a file:
set theFile to (choose file)
-- read the file contents:
set theFileContents to (read file theFile)
-- break out the lines/paragraphs of text:
set theLines to paragraphs of theFileContents
-- now iterate through those lines, one by one:
repeat with eachLine in theLines
-- code to perform for eachLine goes here
end repeat
Once you have a line of text (eachLine in the above example) you can 'type' that into another application via something like:
tell application "AppName" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AppName"
keystroke eachLine
end tell
end tell
Here the AppleScript is activating the application and using System Events to emulate typing the contents of the eachLine variable into the process. Put this inside your repeat loop and you're almost there.

How do I transfer photo files from desktop to ipad without 3rd party software?

how do I transfer photo and music files from my laptop to ipad2 without purchasing a 3rd party software?

You can use iTunes which is free (http://www.apple.com/itunes) - and that is the only way to sync music from a computer to the iPad
Syncing photos via iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . You need to sync all photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad

Would it be possible for time machine to back-up files from 3rd party software such as windows platform using parallel?

I'm wondering if it would be possible for time machine to back-up files from 3rd party software such as Windows XP using parallel software especially if it is isolated from mac? Any advise would be greatly aprreciated.

Short answer - yes Time Machine will backup everything within the Mac OS system.
Longer answer - Parallels creates a pvm disk image "Parallels Virtual Machine" which Time Machine backs up.
Due to the changes to the pvm file Time Machine is unable to read the minor changes and will somtimes do a full backup of it each time Time Machine runs and can chew through Back up drive space quite quickly.

I have a PVR which supports DLNA connected to my home network. I want to access files on my MacBook from the PVR. I understand that my MacBook doesn't support DLNA. Is there any 3rd party software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA?

Hi,
Can anyone help me please.
I have a Personal Video Recorder (Humax HDR-1010S), which supports DLNA, connected to my home network via Wi-Fi.
I want to play music from iTunes and view photos from iPhoto from my MacBook (which is also connected to the home network) via the PVR / TV / Home Cinema sound system. I understand that my MacBook (running OS X Mavericks) doesn't support DLNA server.
Is there any 3rd party software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA server?
Thanks,

My recollection is that the iPhoto library has some fairly robust protections to prevent inadvertent or even deliberate changes being made that might have unwanted consequences. I'll take alook at my setup and let you know if I can see anything that might help you. Even if you get Serviio to "see" the iPhoto library, it almost ceratinly won't show the album structure and names. What I did is to export each iPhoto album to a standard folder with the appropriate folder name. These I keep on an external backup disc and Serviio can see these without trouble.

Issues with Form printing using a 3rd party software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Hi All,
We are printing our month end AR statements using Xerox DP100 printers. We are using a SAP Script as the layout form. Everything works perfectly alright when a direct print is issued to the printer. But the scenario here is the statements are sent to a 3rd party software so that the statements can be saved in their repository and made available to be viewed and printed whenever necessary. Now the issue is when this 3rd Party Software(TPS) reads the SAP generated PCL from its report store on the unix host and generates a PDF File that it presents to the web client user for (re)printing via his/her PC it appears that the TPS or Websphere or Adobe is performing a font substituion - replacing the Univers font(used in R/3) which is not loaded on the unix host with a different font(with different sizing and/or behavior).
As a result the horizontal and vertical positioning generated by SAP(which is correct for the Univers font) is 'wrong' for the substituted font. The fixed size fields print OK but gradually move to the right. The varying size amount columns do not align correctly and fall off the right side of the page.
Can anyone give me pointers on what can be done to arrest this error.
Does the font need to be loaded on the unix host or the font used in the form be changed?
Regards,
Karthik

Karthik,
Sap script behaves differently for different printers. You will have to change margins when you change your printer/software accordingly.

Is 3rd party software required for auto creation of DIR for scanned copy,

Hello SAP gurus.
The current business process is there are 100s of service order, (IW31 creation TC) and each service order has its own 50-60 external documents attached to it.
unfortunately there is no standard link from SAP DMS at Service order (lW31, TC) level.
Here i tought of creating a document folder in EDMS or structure with the reference of service order No. And keeping this service order as reference we need some 50-60 documents (files) to be directly assigned to the main service order No, with out any manual intervention.
Here is what the user does in the present system
With our client in the present system they use a 3rd party software for mail and scanner interface, here Any x, y, z user scans an document or Mails a document with attachments, just giving the subject line as the Service order already created.
The document attachment directly comes and sits inside the predefined Service Order folder. Along with the user name who sent the document and the time he sent the document.
Is the same thing possible in SAP ie.. Creating or attaching documents with out any manual interventions taking the reference of Mails sent having the subject line as the DIR
Does this require 3rd party interference to do this, will any BAPI /BADI to do this for DMS with out 3rd party software.
is there any upload programme that should be used which will avoid 3rd party software.
please explain. points waiting.
Thanks and warm regards

Updating 3rd party software

I am totally lost. Just switched from PC to 1st Mac. I have installed a 3rd party software (mac version) and it has an update but I can not figure out how to install. Is there any way to research how to do such simple things on a Mac?

If you start with an image file. Then double click it. It should mount like a drive. At this point either what you need will be apparent on your desktop or you will need to double click the mounted image to get to what you need. You can think of such image files as installers, although you don't actually install with them. I keep them as though they are installers.

Link between 3rd party software and SAP

Our company uses a 3rd party software for its payroll processing. At the end of every 2 weeks, we receive an Excel file that the clerk sorts and uploads into SAP using LSMW.
The Director of Finance thinks that this process can be achieved much quicker/faster/more efficiently, and he wanted to know if we can directly establish a link between the 3rd party payroll software and SAP.
Any thoughts on how this can be established? Do I have to write a BAPI functional specification for this and work with the ABAP team?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi Vijay,
Through BAPI / BDC / Idoc you can achive this requirement.
Ex:
1 - Create Landing Table in R/3
2 - Pull Data from Leagacy to SAP Landing Table
3 - From Landing Table you can post to SAP

Can't install 3rd party software

I've just done an archive and install of Tiger on my G4 with a NewerTech 2gig CPU.
I was able to download and install the update to 10.4.10 without problem. However, now when I try to install anything else, I get the authenticate admin window but it just opens, then snaps closed. I don't have time to put in my password. I tried DiskWarrior and trashing the pref files for system pref and finder. I've also run Cocktail. I've run out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

I had VirusBarrier X4 installed before I did the archive and install. I didn't choose save/transfer my personal setting when I did the install. So, VirusBarrier shows up in the application folder but since I can't install any 3rd party software I haven't reinstalled it. I tried to uninstall it but the uninstaller can't find that it's been installed, as I suspected it would, but took a chance.
I don't have EyeTV. I been using Macs since 84. This is a new one on me.

Can I install VOIP or 3rd party softwares in Nok...

I am usnig Voip softwares like Action Voip in Nokia E63. I like to buy Nokia C3 because it is very friendly for Social Network and messaging. But I worry about using Voip software and other 3rd party program installation because C3 doesn't have a file manager. Is it support usage of Voip software? How can I install VOIP or 3rd party softwares in Nokia C3. Please help me.

To get VoIP on S40, you need to have compatible phone that has built in SIP VoIP support, http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/VoIP_support_in_Nokia_devices#Support_in_Series_40_devices
There does not exists any VoIP Java apps for S40 with which you could get FREE calls.

3rd party software for MS Cloud

Dear MS:
I have been using the Surface Pro (1st generation) to come up with my own program for medical record keeping, I am a medical doctor working in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada.
Surface Pro and Win8.1 is a really cool tool and I am thrilled that MS is coming up with such a nice package. There is one thing about the MS cloud, that is that I cannot save my own program into my One drive and work on it from anywhere when there is internet
connection. (other than the OneNote that we have programmed to be embedded therein).
So my question is that if it is possible for the whole of my own program (3rd party software with OneNote and Word 2013 embedded) to be saved to and work from my One Drive?
I enclose the software tech specifications from my programmer for your attention.
Thanks and regards

Subject: Questions to synchronize LabRx data between Microsoft Cloud
To: Patrick Shiu <[email protected]>
Dr Shiu,
For your information, our program LabRx is a WinForm application using SQL-SERVER 2012.
Most of the data such as patient information, patient history, MML, etc are stored in the database on your local SQLServer.
Microsoft One-note cloud is similar to dropbox, which is easy to synchronize files and documents.
But we need to do is to synchronize SQL-SERVER database (not just files or documents) using Microsoft cloud. So I think we need to ask them about how to implement this first.
Regards,
Ming

Hello Patrick,
It looks like you are interested in moving the Sql Server Db to Windows Azure. In that case you will be able to access (query) all your data from any device and everywhere.
OneDrive is just a cloud storage for storing files, it can't host running databases as your developer mentioned. Windows Azure is exactly what you are interested in.

Remove A 3rd Party Software

Hi,
I have some "Old 3rd party software" that needs to be "Updated with newer versions".
How do I "remove(delete) the old version software" and install the new versions software?
Thanks.
Ed

There is no definitive answer to your vague question because there are many variables.
For many apps there's no need to remove the old version at all - multiple versions can quite peacefully co-exist
For some apps you can simply throw away the old application file.
Some applications ship with 'un-installer' applications which remove all traces of the app.
Some applications have built-in updaters which can apply updates (including removing old versions) for you.
Some applications, especially those that use network connections or have background components or startup dependencies have special startup scripts that run at startup. In these cases removing the old app might not remove the startup script, and the startup script might or might not be compatible with the new version.
There are other cases, too.
So, as you see, there is no one answer to your question, and since you don't identify the application in question no one can tell you which category your app(s) falls in to.

Backup and synching with a Windows Server, what 3rd party software do I need.

I have a Macbook Air. We just got a new Server, a Dell PowerEdge T420 running Windows Small Business Server 2011 CAL Suite.
I am told my Macbook Air will not Snych to backup files from a defined folder (like My Documents) and e-mail in Outlook. Mac's can't do that.
I don't believe that is true. Can anyone give me direction. Is there some 3rd party software that allows Mac to do this?

Hello Charlene,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

How to enable the NTFS Read/Write support without 3rd party software?

Is there a way to enable the NTFS Read/Write support of Mac OS X 10.6.8?

Well, I've used Paragon NTFS, but if you don't want to use 3rd party software, you should do this AT YOUR OWN RISK:
Open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
Type "diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name" and copy the Volume UUID (bunch of numbers).
Backup /etc/fstab if you have it, shouldn't be there in a default install.
Type "sudo nano /etc/fstab".
Type in "UUID=paste_the_uuid_here none ntfs rw" or "LABEL=volume_name none ntfs rw" (if you don't have UUID for the disk).
Repeat for other NTFS partitions.
Save the file (ctrl-x then y) and restart your system.
After reboot, NTFS partitions should natively have read and write support. This works in both 32 and 64-bit kernels. Support is quite good and fast, it even recognizes file attributes such as hidden files.
Good luck!
