AppleScript: How I tell Finder to do the same "cd .." on terminal? I need go back one level.

on terminal I just type "cd .." when I need go back one level, but now I need to do this by AppleScript. tell application "Finder" set target? help!

Assuming that you are talking about a Finder window, you can do something like:
tell application "Finder" to tell front Finder window to set target to container of target
For future reference, there is a Mac OS X Technologies community here that includes AppleScript.

How do you find duplicates in the same album? I keep creating albums and it's frustrating because I keep having to go back and personally scan for any duplicates. Isn't there a shortcut to finding these?

I'm knew to the iMac, although I've been using my Macbook Pro 2011 for some time and I love it. I've had an iPad and used the iPhone 5 and love the streamlined way you can share pics etc. between all devices. However, I've never used the iPhoto program until now. I am trying to organize my photos into albums and it is frustrating because I select photos from the main "Photos" on the Left Sidebar and because I have so many photos I tend to put duplicates into my albums. Then I have to spend hours searching to make sure there are no duplicates before I upload them to my website. This is tedious and time consuming. Surely there is an easier way to find all the duplicates IN THE ALBUMS I CREATE. I've looked everywhere and I can't find a sorting tool to put all the duplicates side by side so I can delete the proper ones.

If they are duplicates then sorting on title will put them together, no? If you have two photos called IMG_1234.jpg or 'Last Xmas 01', then they'll have the same name.

Why do I get 2-3 of the same page when I want to go back one page

When I want to go back one page with the back arrow, I frequently have 2 - 3 of the same page and I have to manually go to the one I want or I just increase the number of the same page in the history

How do I find out who the BB provider is at my pro...

brief history.
Bought my existing property in july2012 .
Ordered BT combined phone and BB package 2 with 40Gb and free calls August 8th 2012
took BT 5 xweeks to connect my phone line although there was an existing line working at the house .?
Also 5xweeks to connect the BTHub3 broadband.
Today i learn that BT cancelled my BT broadband service over a month ago because there was a previous broadband provider still active at the property .
I am now told that my BT router has been connected to an unknown ISP for the past 6x weeks ????
How can I find out who the ISP is so I can cancel it as I cannot contact the previous property owner.
BT have not advised me of any of this by the way. If I hadn't phoned today to query why I have no caller ID or answerphone service or email address and my number isn't ex dir as requested then I'd never have known

If you go to www.speedtest.net it will display which ISP you're with in the bottom corner. There are a few other websites which tell you too but the URLs escape me at the minute

How do i find out what the IEMI number is without having the phone or package?

how do i find out what the IEMI number is without having the phone or package?

If you ever backed your iPhone up to your computer, launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover your cursor over the backup file for the iPhone. That should show you the IMEI number.
If not, and you don't have the phone nor the packaging, you'll need to call your cell carrier and see if perhaps they can tell you.

How do we find out who the query originator is on the DB2 database side?

OBIEE 11g will typically connect to the database using a generic account. Some of the queries are using too
many resources on our DB2 database. How do we find out who the query originator is (by userID), on the DB2 database side, and not on the OBIEE side? Our research is leading us to Query banding used in Teradata.
We are looking for something similar, that would work in DB2.

I am asked to select an app each time I attempt to open a linked file via a website. How do I tell firefox to use the same app every time?

I have a website; www.designed4submariners.com. On several pages, I have created links to images which are located in a upload file folder. Each time I click on one of those links on the active website (using Firefox as browser), a dialog box appears asking me: What should Firefox do with this file? Beneath the question is a pull down menu which has "TextEdit (defualt)" selected next to a radio button. The image file will open in a browser window when I select Firefox from that pull down menu. I can not tell Firefox to open all similar files using Firefox. How can I resolve this issue as I must go through the same process each time I attempt to open one of those links.

Your response identifies the issue exactly! My website is hosted by GoDaddy. I have forwarded your linked information to their tech department. The URL below my signature is the site having the problem I've outlined when attempting to access linked images.

How do i find out if the server admin daemon is running

Hi All,
I've got an OS X server that for some reason ( probably due to me pratting around) has decided not to have a working server admin prog. I can fire up the client program and point it at any of the IP addresses that the server is looking at and then you get an error message basically saying that the server admin daemon is not contactable.
So ...
1). How can i find out if the back end daemon is running
2). what port(s) does it listen on
3). How can I turn on some logging to see what's happening when I run serve admin
4). Any other tips as to how to find out why its not working
Rgds
Alex

You should post this in one of the forums in the Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard category. You'll get better response there.
