Apple script to find all image files on computer and put them into 1 folder

Is there any way to do this with apple script? Thanks

Hi glaurung,
Doing this with vanilla AppleScript and the Finder would take too long. There might be a way to do this with unix commands, but probably the best way to this would be to use the built in find for your system. I wouldn't search the whole computer. Maybe just search somewhere in your Home folder. Use a criteria like all files with extension jpg, tiff, tif, etc.. Then you can just drag the found files into whatever folder you want. You need to be cautious because you wouldn't want to move all files. For instance, you wouldn't want to move all pictures in your iPhoto library, other apps, or the System.

Get All images from a website and put them in a listbox.

Hi Everyone, I am new to Java Programming.
I wanted to know if there is a way to get all the images in a website and put them in a listbox. And if an item is clicked in list box, view it in a picturebox.

This is not putting a good impression of Java Users on me.good luck with .net. im sorry that things didnt work out with java.
unfortunately, .net is essentially a clone of java so you may find that you will be looking
to learn exactly the same things but for an expensive propriety platform.

Apple script to find all duplicate files

Is it possible to write an applescript to find all duplicate file names on my hard drive? My hd is almost full, and if I can delete duplicate files, it'll save me from having to buy another external drive.
Thanks,
George

Why would you have found 20GB of duplicate images? iPhoto has built-in duplicate detection, it can remove any duplicates or prevent them from being imported altogether. Did you disable this in iPhoto for some reason? Or were you still using folders and subfolders to store your photos?
Just because two pictures have the exact same filename does NOT mean they are identical. If this application you used simply compared their filenames, it's possible you actually lost all those photos and not just some duplicates. ;( Because many cameras reuse filenames after a certain point!

Has anyone got a script to read a list of email addresses from a Mail message and put them into a group in Contacts?

Has anyone got a script to read a list of email addresses from a Mail message header and put them into a group in Contacts?

Now Tony, I know you can't hear my tone on a forum post but I was not complaining, simply stating facts . This change brought several people in my office to a grinding halt in a long established workflow that is really rather simple (and I thought was already assumed from the original post above ):
1) Select a set of records in FileMaker Pro 12 and export only their e-mail addresses as a CSV file.
2) Open that CSV file in Excel.
3) Copy the column of e-mail address.
4) paste into the appropriate recipient field in Mail.
5) Send
If I were to complain it would be about Apple's typically opaque approach to updates. There is no granular explanation of why changes were made or even "what" changes were made.
Complaining is futile since Apple is Apple and is unlikely to change, but sometimes it is cathartic to "shout into the void" .
I had thought about doing something with a formula in Excel and your suggestion was simple and helpful. Again, however, it is only a workaround for a long established helpful behavior that Apple has inexplicably broken/removed in Mavericks Mail.
I, and the other posters here, would love to have the capability back rather than have to add previously unneeded steps to our workflows.
Ultimately we may add scripting steps to the FileMaker side to export the address lists with commas inserted already if Apple ends up having permanently removed this feature.

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto. Thanks

To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

How do i expoert files from Outlook and import them into iphone? operate with Mac OSx at home and trying to convert contacts and calendars from work and carrying on iphone. txs

How do I export calendar and contact files in Outlook and import them into iphone 4. I operate Mac OS X at home and wish to carry my work information with me on my iPhone.

You do not export anything.
Instead, sync the content from Outlook to your device via iTunes.
Try reading the manual, it's included on the device or here.

Finder stuck, can't find all desktop files including HD and eternal drives

Just installed the new Leopard. When I turn the computer on it brings the screen up minus all desktop files. Can't find any icon for Stack. I can access email and Safari (internet) but my Firefox won't work.
I tried putting in the Leoaprd installation disk again but with Finder spinning nothing happens. I can find some new icons in the dock (Downloads, Documents and Time Machine).
I have a backup copy of my files on an external drive but without Finder I can't access them.
Any suggestions?
Max

I'm having the same problem except I have access to everything for 30 seconds, then everything disappears except the new background image. Nothing I click seems to change anything. I've wiped the drive with an archive and install to see if that fixes the issue.

IO - Read two image files and put them into one file

Hi,
i have 3 files in all. The two image files and one text file. I need to place the image in the first image file, followed by text in the text file and then the image in the second image file, into one file.
Can anyone tell me how do i go about doing this ?
i tried using fileinputstream and fileoutputstream, which works fine if all the 3 files have text but when the first and the third file have image, the code doesn't give any error but the result file displays only the image from the first file and nothing else.
i am running short of time and need to do this really soon.
if anyone has done anything like this. please let me know,
thanx,
poonam

One approach would be to programmatcally create a single zip/jar file from the three input files. You can use the java.util.zip and java.util.jar packages for this purpose.
The other apprach would be to create a single image by drawing images and text strings on a BufferedImage object.
I think the first approach is preferable because you can easily extract the individual files from the zip/jar file

How to pack image files in jar and reference them

I have a utility project that is used by other applications. I am wrapping the package up in a jar file. The project that is wrapped in the jar file references some jpg file. Can I put those files in the jar? If so, how do I reference them in the code?

Can I put those files in the jar? Yes.
If so, how do I reference them in the code?I bet nobody has asked that question before.

I deleted all images on my computer and they deleted from my hard drive as well. Is there any way to restore them to their original place?

I have roughly 22,000 photos on my external hard drive, and when I deleted all the photos from my computer after copying them to my hard drive, they deleted from the external hard drive as well. When I look in my trash, I have 22,000 ish photos in there, but when I plug in my external hard drive, I have 44,000 ish. Is there any way I can restore my photos from the trash on my hard drive to the folders they were taken from?

You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.
Barry
P.S. I have no clue what you did or why you have 44,000 on the external drive

Creating a list of names and putting them into a computer file

I am trying to create a list of names which is generated by a swf file that contains buttons representing letters of the alphabet. The user generates a name by clicking on the letter buttons until the letters of the name have been spelled out and then clicking on a “Submit” button to add each name to the list. The names are generated inside the swf file but I want the list of names to be deposited in a file within a folder of the computer and remain there as a permanent record after the swf file has been closed. I can do the Actionscript 3 programming associated with the letter buttons but I would like to know how to send the names to the computer file.

Here is some simplified code which illustrates the problem I am having. I have four buttons A2_btn thru D2_btn. These buttons can be clicked to put a sequence of letters into the input text window called requestedItem_txt. The button called submit_btn can be clicked to put the sequence of letters (preceded with a comma) into the window called requestedItemList_txt and append the sequence of letters (and comma) to whatever is already in the window. This part is working satisfactorily. I also want to write the contents of the requestedItemList_txt window into a file on my computer as a permanent record each time the submit_btn button is clicked. I get an error message for the flush statement and I don’t get any file written on my computer. This problem completely baffles me so I would appreciate any help you can provide.
A2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnA2Press);
function btnA2Press(event:MouseEvent):void
    requestedItem_txt.appendText("a");
B2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnB2Press);
function btnB2Press(event:MouseEvent):void
    requestedItem_txt.appendText("b");
C2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnC2Press);
function btnC2Press(event:MouseEvent):void
    requestedItem_txt.appendText("c");
D2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnD2Press);
function btnD2Press(event:MouseEvent):void
    requestedItem_txt.appendText("d");
var sharedOb:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("savedData");
var flushResult:Object = sharedOb.flush();
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, submit_btnPress);
function submit_btnPress(event:MouseEvent):void
    requestedItemList_txt.appendText(","+(requestedItem_txt.text));
    requestedItem_txt.text = ("");
    SharedObject.getLocal("savedData");
    trace(SharedObject.getLocal("savedData"));
    flush("requestedItemList_txt.text");
stop();

I want to take all my bookmarked sites on my office computer and import them into my home computer...both macs, both have same versions of firefox...how do i do that?

I don't see anywhere to even back up my bookmarked sites....please help

If you want to keep them synced automatically, you should definitely try out [[What is Firefox Sync|Firefox Sync]]. Otherwise, just go to Bookmarks > Organize bookmarks and click the Import and backup button (It's the star with the square arrows in it). Then export HTML, move that file to the home computer and then follow the steps above but choose import HTML.

How do I erase all aps from ipad 1 and put them on ipad2?

My ipad2 has shipped. I want to give my ipad1 to a colleagues=, but I want to give it to him without my stuff (music, email addresses, aps, photos, etc.) as if it is all new.
I also do not want my itunes to assume that the ipad1 is still a device I am using. In other words, I want to eliminate the ipad1 from itunes and all my personal stuff from the ipad1 device. Does any one have any procedures to follow?
upgprof

Open iTunes with the original iPad attached. On the Summary page click Restore. You will be asked: " Back up" your device or "Don't Back up". The choice is yours but it reply doesn't matter since you can begin with your new iPad fresh, or set up from the back up. In any event the iTunes content of songs , movies, TV shows, podcasts, and photos calendars etc can all be done fresh since the info is on your computer. Click "Restore" and Apple will extract the software, and restore to factory settings (with iOS 4.3.2), ready for the next owner. Once the process has completed and you have received the message that it is OK to disconnect then do so. now you are ready to connect your new iPad2 and begin the set up just as you did for the original iPad (or iPod, or iPhone since the process is identical). The mobile apps that you have are on record with the app store and they will be synced to your new device once you confirm your iTunes Store/App Store ID; there will be no need to re-purchase them.

I have read 118 files (from a directory) each with 2088 data and put them into a 2 D array with 2cols and 246384row, I want to have aeach file on a separate columns with 2088 rows

I have read 118 files from a directory using the list.vi. Each file has 2 cols with 2088rows. Now I have the data in a 2 D array with 2cols and 246384rows (118files * 2088rows). However I want to put each file in the same array but each file in separate columns. then I would have 236 columns (2cols for each of the 118 files) by 2088 rows. thank you very much in advance.

Hiya,
here's a couple of .vi's that might help out. I've taken a minimum manipulation approach by using replace array subset, and I'm not bothering to strip out the 1D array before inserting it. Instead I flip the array of filenames, and from this fill in the end 2-D array from the right, overwriting the column that will eventually become the "X" data values (same for each file) and appear on the right.
The second .vi is a sub.vi I posted elsewhere on the discussion group to get the number of lines in a file. If you're sure that you know the number of data points is always going to be 2088, then replace this sub vi with a constant to speed up the program. (by about 2 seconds!)
I've also updated the .vi to work as a sub.vi if you wa
nt it to, complete with error handling.
Hope this helps.
