7-Zip for Mac?
I use 7-Zip for Windows, and I am astounded at the quality of the compression (sometimes down to 55% of the original size). Is there such an alternative for Mac?
At the moment, I have a few DMGs, which would fit onto a DVD-9 but not a DVD-5. I can't get any good DVD-9s without ordering them online, and I don't want to go through that hassle for a spindle of 10 or 20. In addition, 7-zip would be an excellent format for archiving old data. Is there a mac version?

How do I create and send a zip file? I have Lion and I'm working in Word for mac
To show you how little I know about any of this, I don't even know if this is the correct forum in which to ask this question. I'm a copywriter. I have a client in France. I have 15 word documents, 15 of the same documents in PDFs and a small Excel document to send him. Simple, mutlipage Word docs. Short two-page Excell sheet. I want to create a zip file for them to send to him. Can I do it? How? I have unzipped zip files other people have sent to me, but I've never created or sent one myself. I'm working in Word for Mac 2011. I have Lion. I'm using Mac's email. Please don't assume I know anything. I need very, very simple, play by play instructions. You are all very helpful, so I have high hopes.

You will be able to both zip and unzip. If the recipient of your zipped file does not have zip, he/she will need to get it, or you could send him/her the above address so that he/she can unzip his/her file.
(I wish the English language could settle on the use of something less clumsy that he/she him/her etc.)
BTW, I think that you can zip only folders, not separate files, so put even one file into a folder before zipping).

Exporting selected contacts from Outlook 2011 for Mac
I've wanted to easily export a set of selected contacts from Outlook in Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. I've been through many threads about synching to Address Book and then exporting, but I've found a host of troubles, including duplicate copies of contacts being created.
So, I finally broke down and wrote an AppleScript script to export all of the currently selected contacts from Outlook to a file in either vcf (vcard) or csv (comma separated value) format. The best use of this script is to:
-- Install this as a script in Microsoft Outlook by saving the script below to Documents>Microsoft User Data>Outlook Script Menu Items
-- Change to your Contacts in Outlook. Use the Outlook search bar to find the contacts you want to export. You might search by name, category, company, or anything else that identifies the contacts you want to export. Or, you might just leave the view showing all contacts.
-- Select the contacts you want to export
-- Launch the script
The script will have you select between vcard and csv and select a destination file. This hasn't been optimized for speed, so if you're exporting 100's or 1,000's of contacts, be patient. And there isn't a progress bar at present, so you have to wait. It will display an alert when it's complete.
Sorry not to have a download location for you. You'll just have to copy the script text :-). Keep in mind there's been some but limited testing. Read the comments for details. And enjoy.

BE 3000 with Jabber (for Mac) and webex connect integration problems
Hi,
This is my first question on the forum so please be gentle!
I have a customer who has a Business Edition 3000 and they have purchased WebEx connect and Jabber integration to go with it.
My problem is I am having difficulty getting the setup to work and I have a number of questions on how to set this up. Most of the docs on Cisco's website seem to be related to either CUCME or full CUCM, but not a lot on BE 3000. My questions are below:
1. I have been reading the documentation for WebEx connect and it states to set the IP address of the BE 3000 server in the Configuration>Additional Services>Unified Communications>Voicemail tab. This is currently on the network with a 192.168.x.x address however. My predecessor put this IP address in the WebEx configuration page but I'm not sure this will work with a private IP as I don't know how this communicates back. The documentation isn't very clear on this. Does this have to be a public IP address / FQDN for it to work?
2. Are there any SRNDs for this type of setup that could help? Again, looking through the website hasn't turned anything up yet.
Note:
we are using the following software:
Jabber for MAC:
uc-client-mac-8.6.7.20127.fcs.zip
MAC OS:
OSX 10.8.3
BE 3000:
MCS7890C1-BE8
8.6.4.10000-15.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
JasonHi - I have done this via the admin portal but still cannot get the Jabber client for Mac to register for voice. The Windows version works fine for the same user and CUCM device. Are there any other settings that need to be enabled specific to the Mac client?
Thanks. -

Paste not working properly in DW for Mac
Ok, here's a gripe which has long irritated me, but which is so minor I've not bothered posting about it before now because by the time I fight my way through the Adobe site, login to the fora, type and post a message, I fixed the problem manually, but it's got to the stage where it's got my goat.
I'm using DW 9 (CS3) under Mac OS/X Tiger (10.4), but the problem's occurred in previous versions of DW. Basically, I can't paste anything but bare text into design view. It doesn't matter from which application I've copied, even bare text in a web page, hitting Cmd-V does zip. I have to go into Paste Special and choose Text Only - all other options do bubkes. I can go into Code View and paste which of course just drops in unformatted text. This is a real PITA in situations like now, where I've got to go through 3 pages worth of academic references manually inserting carriage returns then formatting text as bold and italic. Is this a known 'issue' with DW for Mac? There's nothing wrong with the DW prefs that I can see, and I've been using this damn software for the best part of a decade so it's not as if I'm a newbie, though my Mac usage is relatively recent (last couple of years).
I've got to say that DW on the Mac, as you guys across the Pond say, sucks bigtime. It's memory usage is less than optimal (activity meter sometimes hits near 100% processor usage if DW's working), it's often keyboard-abusingly slow, and there are so many little 'idiosyncrasies' that irritate that it would take pages to outline them all. The irritations are so minor that it's not worth posting about them usually (getting to this stage has cost me 15 minutes, in which time I could have added all the CRs in my ref list), but it does grate that hundreds of dollars worth of bloatware grinds along on what is pretty much a top of the range machine (Macbook Pro). Luckily I'm not paying for the software - my employer is, otherwise I'd be really narked. I only use it on account of the site management capabilities which aren't duplicated AFAIK in any Open Source software.
Ok, that's that off my chest. Back to basic sodding text editing that I shouldn't have to do...
Fred
PS: Are you sure you've stuffed your pages with enough JS code, Adobe? Clunky ain't the word for some of the pages on this site...Just to add another gripe about DW for Mac, it hangs and/or crashes on a regular basis. For example, I've just now asked it to open a small (8kb) XML file and it's gone into a funk with the old spinning disk, which I'll have to force quit. No big, but not what you'd expect of a 'premium' product.

Help - flash player v6 standalone for mac OS 8.6?
desperately looking for flash standalone player v6 for mac OS
8.6. tried the adobe downloads archived flash player section:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=2
theres an extensive version 6, but the install only installs
browser plugins, not the standalone player. even if someone has a
v6 standalone player they could zip and email me i would be
eternally grateful.
the release notes talk about a standalone, but its not in the
hqx file that the link gives you.
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/releasenotes/player/rn_6.htmlWhat are you trying to do? Mac 8.6 is so old as is the Flash
6 player.
ASFAIK, the stand alone players are not generally
distributed. They are only included with the Flash authoring tool.
Maybe it was different back in 2001...
If you have a copy of Flash that runs on Mac OS 8.6 (or
perhaps even OS 9) here is a trick that may help you. (Some of the
names might be off a bit due to changes in the interface. I can't
remember that far back!)
Open up Flash.
Create a new Flash document.
Save it with a name like "MyFlashPlayer"
Go to the File menu and select publish options.
Check the box to publish a Mac projector.
Uncheck the publish to SWF box
Publish your file.
You can now use the projector to open swf files.
Don't know if that will help, but it might. Otherwise let us
know what you are trying to do. -
Problems installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA_1_2_3.zip on Mac
Problems installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA__2_3.zip on Mac? Preamble: st gen Vado HD
macbook pro running OS X Snow leopard 0.6.2
I'm having a tough time installing the Vado Central SW on my Mac. I tried installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA___0_df6, too. Similar results with both, I get a message "Installation failed."? This comes as no surprise since my mac never installs anything without prompting for an administrator login. So, I ignored the instructions to plug in the Vado after the installation was complete, and plugged it in and tried re-installing the software with the Vado as the installation destination.... which makes sense since it seems to run the Windows Vado Central from the Vado. VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA__2_3.zip would not let me select any device except the mac hard dri've.
With VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA___0_df6 I was able to install change the install location to the Vado HD device. It appears to have created an applications folder containing Vado Central.app. But, now when I plug in the Vado, it still automatically starts iPhoto. If I browse the Vado and double click the Vado Central.app, OS X first prompts, asking me if I want to install the application to the local computer. Click "No", then I get prompted that Vado Central rquires the flv2ITunes transcorder downloaded and installed. Click "Yes", then I'm prompted that a newer version of Vado Central is available, "Do you want to download...", click "Yes". It downloads and installs somewhere, but apparently not on the Vado, because it puts me through all of this every time. Whatever/whereever the software is being updated, it's not changing the Vado Cental.app on the Vado, based on the timestamp.
Can somebody provide the correct installation instructions? The minimal instructions on the Creative download page appear to be wrong. (I've looked at the other threads complaining about the mac installation, they don't seem to match my experience.)
TIAI have a Vado HD 2nd generation. I use it exclusi'vely on my MacBook.
The firmware version that my Vado came with is "v.250.
I found out the version on my unit by holding down the Delete button
while turning the unit on.
Is it possible that your unit is not installing v.23 because your unit already has a later version?
Hope this helps. -
.exe projector file for PC works fine, but extracted .hqx for Mac won't open when on CD
I'm using Flash MX, AS 2, Projector 6, working on a PC.
I saved two versions of my project -- one .exe for Windows and one .hqx for Mac. The .exe works fine when burned onto a CD. When opening the .hqx from a CD on a Mac, I got a message that the file is on a locked volume. I discovered that the reason for this is that an .hqx is essentially a zipped file which has to be extracted, and when a file is extracted, the unzipped files are written onto the same location as the original. When the original files are on a CD, Stuffit (Mac's zip extractor program) can't write onto that location.
[So if anyone at Adobe looks at these forum posts, let me say that I think its absolutely ridiculous that the Mac version of Flash's projector files have to be extracted in order to be viewed!]
To get around this problem, I saved the .hqx on my PC, put it on a portable hard drive and brought it over to a Mac (because Stuffit for PC converts it into an .exe for PC), and unzipped it. When I'd test it on the portable hard drive or on a USB drive, the extracted file would work. When I'd bring it back over to the PC and burn a CD with both versions on it, and then test that CD on the Mac, it wouldn't work. Can anyone tell me why the extracted Mac version works on a hard drive, but not on a CD? What do I have to do in order to make a Mac projector file work from a CD?Windows uses the FAT file system, Macs use the HFS file system. The two are not compatible. If you save a Mac projector file on a FAT file system, it won't be saved properly and it won't work. When you create a Mac projector from a Windows version of Flash, the file will be saved as a compressed .hqx file.
Since you need to use a Mac to create a hybrid CD, when you move that .hqx file to the Mac, unstuff it and then use the resulting file for the CD. It will then run from the CD as expected. -
Problems with Bridge for Mac 3.7
I've been using Bridge for Mac for a while without any problems, but since it downloaded the 3.7 update it won't recognize my phone.

If I connect it in Windows with the same cable and through the same USB port, PC Companion recognizes it no problem. Any idea what's going on here?
Hi mcilwr01,
I'm sorry Bridge isn't working for you, and I understand you're upset.
Could you please send me error logs that I can forward to the development crew? Otherwise it's near impossible to tell what's causing your problems.
Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Export logs"
4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
5. PM that file to me or post the contents here
We are working on solving the problems of 3.7 as fast as possible, I apologize for not having a solution for you right now.
Best Regards,

How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?
I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
Thanks.This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it. -
Need AV or IS Software for Mac with Windows apps?
I would like to know if it is advisable to install anti-virus or Internet security software on a Mac if you run both Mac and Windows applications. I ask this question because I understand that those programs may not as necessary for Mac applications only but I wonder if the Windows applications that I installed under Parallels Desktop 7 will cause the computer to be vulnerable. I also wonder whether in installation of the AV or IS software will protect both the Mac and Windows virtual machines. Thanks
Antivirus software for OS X is not necessary. However if you run MS Windows in any fashion meaning via Boot Camp or virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion then you should treat the MS Windows installation as you would ANY MS Windows installation, in other words install antivirus software for MS Windows! The good news is even if your MS Windows becomes totally diseased this will in no way affect the OS X installation.
In your case because you have installed Windows in Parallels then get yourself some antivirus software for MS Windows and install away. You can resist the urge for antivirus software for OS X though for many reasons, first an foremost is there are zero (none, nada, zip) viruses for OS X. While there are some trojans out there for OS X they are few and far between. The primary difference between a Trojan and virus is that Trojans must be downloaded and installed by the user. The lesson to learn here is only download from trusted sites and any site that tells you to download something should be approached with a great deal of caution. In other words if you aren't sure don't do it and come to a these forums and ask. The next reason OS X doesn't need antivirus software is most take up a lot resources on your computer and slow it down, and finally many tend to create more problems than they solve. If you still aren't convinced then download ClamXav, it's free, unobtrusive and kept up-to-date. -
Hi All,
I am developing a hybrid application which receives updates
in ZIP from the web. Windows is no problem. I am using the bundled
Unzip Xtra in Director. The problem is that, the file and folder
names in the bundled updates, sometimes are more than 32 characters
long. As a result, the Unzip xtra on Mac will truncate the
file/folder names to under 32 characters thus ruining my updates. I
searched for an Unzipping xtra for Mac but could ot find any that
would allow for unzipping more than 32 character long file/folders.
Any ideas how do I proceed with this?
Thanks in advance.

Go with Luke's idea - baRunProgram on a Mac doesn't take
command line
arguments, although I'm not sure OS X comes with unzip - two
I just checked
didn't (OS X 10.3 and 10.4). Gzip is pretty much a certainty.

Compatibility with Office for Mac
I'll ask this in the Pages section, though it also applies to Numbers.
I currently use MS Office for Mac 2011, but would like to uninstall it and use iWork 09. I do have to interactively work on basic text documents and basic spreadsheets with other people, so I need to know that formatting, attributes, etc. will not be altered if I make simple editing changes and then send a document to others as a Word document. Again, just basic document here...nothing fancy.Larry you could use Yvan's uninstall script. It will delete all but custom made templates and documents.
To uninstall correctly iWork, go to Yvans iDisk :
<http://public.me.com/koenigyvan>
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
Expand the archive and run the script. -
Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't work with my Sony Xperia J
I have installed Sony Bridge for Mac version 3.7.1, but it won't connect to my Sony Xperia J which I have only had for 3 months.
I get the error "Could not connect to your Xperia device. Please disconnect and reconnect it again. Restart the device if the problem persists". All the time.
I have tried all of the suggestions in the error message. I have also tried reinstalling Sony Bridge for Mac, to no avail.
I am running Mac OS X 10.9.2 on an iMac. I am also using the correct USB lead - the one supplied with the phone.
The Mac system log shows this error:
Apr 3 20:42:35 robins-imac.default Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac[973]: BUG in libdispatch client: kevent[EVFILT_WRITE] delete: "No such file or directory" - 0x2
I suspect that whoever wrote Sony Bridge for Mac did not try it on OS X 10.9.2.
I am seriously thinking of getting rid of this phone and getting one that works properly with the Mac - ie, not a Sony phone. Sony always seem to have problems with supporting Macs, for some bizarre reason.Hi Yorkshirecomposer,
I will ask the development crew about the system log error. Additionally, could you provide me with error logs to send them as well?
Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
