Basic question on folders

new to mac so hang with me but , can anyone tell me how to create a word document inside a new folder that i create on the desktop. No problem setting up the initial new folder. But how do i add text to that folder...thanks

Do you have Mac OS 9 (this category) or Mac OS X 10.3.9 as it says in your profile?
In Mac OS X, it is sometime confusing for new users because when you do a Save As..., you may not get a dialog box that lets you navigate freely to any folder. Is that the case here?
If so, look for a small button with a triangle, next to the Save As field. Click it and the dialog box expands to let you navigate to any folder, or create a new folder if needed.

  • PE 9 organizer basic questions

    I am using a PC, Windows 7, PE 9.  This is a very basic question from a 77 year old grandmother (my granddaughter says I 'play the grandma card'), but anyway I do not understand photo storage locations on my PC.  Some of my many photos are in the Windows Viewer, some in  Elements and I also use Picasa which I had before I bought PE9.  All of my pictures are neatly organized in folders in Picasa, can find them easily but not with all the better ways Elements provides.  So, my question is this, are my pictures stored in 3 places on my computer ?  Or are they just moved from Picasa to edit and not stored in Elements?  What about the Windows files?
    Well, by now you must be as confused as I am.  Will apreciate any help, basic please.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am technical person and we techincal people are not good in explaining things easily. But I will make an attempt
    Actually all the photographs are saved on your hard-drive which is controlled by windows. Means you can see all the photographs in windows if you know exact location.
    Photoshop Elements and Picasa just use references and show you same photographs which are actually on your Hard-Drive/Windows.So effectively there is only one copy of your photographs - few are accessed through Picasa , others through Elements. I would suggest to stick to one application for organizing your photographs and that better way in long run.
    Hope that my explainnation is of some use to you. In case not, please bombard more questions...

  • Solaris10 basic questions PHP and MYSQL

    Hi,
    I am trying to learn something of Solaris because it this OS is used at my job, well, we have one system T2000 sunfire, it has Solaris10, we are trying to setup as local server to share some html files, and also we are trying to install some mysql databases, well we already setup Apache2 and it is working fine:
    svcs -a | grep -i http
    online Mar_10 svc:/network/http:apache2
    Something that I don't know is if the server has already installed PHP and if it is running, I just found these files containing PHP:
    ./usr/local/php
    ./usr/local/php/doc/php
    ./usr/local/php/bin/php
    ./usr/local/php/include/php
    ./usr/local/php/lib/php

    I was wondering if some of you can tell me if php is installed and running, I think it is not running because I created an php file and it doesn't work.
    I also need to know if mysql is working or not, I think it is working, these are the process that I found of mysql:
    /usr/bin/ps -ef |grep mysql
    mysql 843 798 0 Feb 22 ? 40:59 /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld basedir=/usr/local/mysql datadir=/export/ho
    root 798 1 0 Feb 22 ? 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe datadir=/export/home/database pid-

    I know perl is running by:
    # perl -v
    This is perl, v5.8.4 built for sun4-solaris-64int
    (with 31 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

    And I was thinking, before install another thing I want to be sure that php is not installed or running, I would like to ask some questions:
    How can I know if php is installed?
    How can I know if it is running? the way I have tried is placing a PHP file in the /var/apache2/htdocs and tried it from the browser, but it didn't work.
    If PHP is installed how can I enable it or start it? and how to make it permanent or start automatically when server boot up?
    What happen if i try to install the AMP, may I have to backup the files that we already have in /var/apache2/htdocs?
    Will the amp cause troubles or conflict to the apache, perl and mysql that are already installed and running?
    Another basic question and hope not to cause angry, is there inside Solaris any equivalent folder to "program files" like in win? it would be to have an idea of all the applications already installed in the system. or which is or are the folders in Solaris where I can see all the installed applications?
    the last question the term "the box" is the term for machine, station, server?
    Thanks.

  • Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.

    Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
    Ihave a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive.  It also has a 1 TB 2ndinternal drive.  My current external drive is too small so I'll begetting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
    Obviouslythe new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Prointernal drive with Time Machine.  But there will be 1 TB of space leftover going to waste.
    ShouldI partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB andthe use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups withCarbon Copy?
    Thanks for any insights.
    I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.

    The problem with terabyte drives is that that a 3 TB is about as big as you can get without going into RAID territory. Ideally, a Time Machine drive should be 3 times as large as all the drives you are backing up. So, if you have 2.75 TB of internal storage, you should have 8 TB of Time Machine space.
    Of course, that is "should". If your TB drives are mostly empty, then you can get away with something 3 times the size of your used disk space. Just remember that you are pushing it. Linc is right about Time Machine needing space to work.
    It is unlikely that you have regular churn on 2.75 TB of disk. I suggest identifying which drives and folders have the most activity and excluding those drives and directories that don't change much. It would be better to archive the data that doesn't change often and keep it out of Time Machine. Then you may be able to get away with a 2 TB Time Machine drive.

  • Moving from Entourage to Mail - basic questions

    Once my shiny new iMac arrives, I intend to stop using Entourage (v.X) for email and switch to Mail.
    I've never used Mail before, so I've got a few basic questions - I hope someone can help!
    1. Is there a limit on how many emails / attachments Mail can hold? Entourage is infamous for unrecoverably crashing if you let its Database get bigger than 2Gb (4Gb with a patch).
    2. How easy is it to archive Mail emails? And how easy is it to then access them for reference, if required?
    3. Can I easily transfer my Entourage address book to Mail?
    Hope someone can help!

    Robin,
    Mail creates a separate account folder for each email account you have. It also has a another folder to hold mailboxes/folders that you use to organize and archive messages away from Inboxes, Sent, etc.
    With each separate mailbox (Inbox, Sent or custom folder) there is no limit on number of messages, but with Mail 2.x (the one in Tiger) the size of each mailbox, including message attachments, must be kept below 2 GB. The only limit on the overall Mail folder, including On My Mac mailboxes, is the space on your hard drive, or boot partition, where your Home folder resides.
    It is not convenient (nor necessary) to archive outside of the Mail folder where all mailboxes/folder reside, although backups can be made for disk failure, etc.
    Open the Address Book application, and you will find under File, the command to Import. For what you can Import, check AB Help, searching on import and Entourage, and you will find Entourage listed as a source -- see also:

  • Basic question about storage and safety in iMovie '11

    A very basic question about storage and safety:
    I want to keep a backup of my raw footage on my external hard drive prior to begin working on the movie in iMovie. I want to do this:
    1. Upload the digital files from my camcorder to my Desktop *(as opposed to iMovie)*
    2. Duplicate that footage/clips.
    3. Put the duplicate clips/footage into a folder labeled with the name of that footage (like "Fun At the Dentist" or "Jimmy Learns How to Yodel").
    4. Drag the folder with the footage/clips into my external hard drive into a pre-existing folder titled "Backups/duplicates of all of my raw footage/clips." This big granddaddy folder will house all of the child folders of different movies.
    5 Then, open up iMovie '11 and import the raw footage/clips from my Desktop rather than from my camcorder.
    6. Then I want to make a duplicate of my finished movie and put it in my external hard drive in a "Finished Movies" folder.
    I know that the original raw unedited footage will always be in iMovies '11 but I want the original to also exist immediately accessible in my external hard drive.
    QUESTION:
    Is this viable? Is it wise? (I know it goes an extra unnecessary step, but aside from that.)
    *Do you have any precautionary advice?* Should I do something in my iMovies '11 preferences? What?
    In earlier years with iMovie '04 or '06 (cannot recall) I made many novice errors and ended up losing audio to my finished movie. I also lost footage.
    This time around with iMovie '11 I don't to make such novice, ignorant errors.
    Thanks so much for any comments to this question.

    Yes I'm sure it will work great for you.
    The iFrame format is something Apple has come up with. The reason for its existence is unknown to me so I can only speculate. But it seems to me that Apple "invented" this format in order to have devices such as Ipod/Ipad/Iphone/Ixxx create clips that are editable on consumer hardware such as already mentioned devices but also standard Mac computers, without the need for format conversion.
    iMovie converts most input formats during import, which takes a lot of time, and this need for conversion often comes as a surprise to most people new to home video editing.
    iFrame has a resolution of 960x540 which is long way from the common standards of 1920x1080 and 1280x720. If your end target is YouTube however, this may not be too bad though. However if you intend to go with YouTube HD, you may find iFrame footage to look wrong since they are effectively upscaled to a higher resolution.
    Technically iFrame uses the H.264 algorithm, a smaller frame size (960x540) and a rather low compression scheme. This will result in large files, but the plus side is that the files are ready for editing without the need for any conversion and iMovie will natively edit the files.

  • Few basic questions on collaboration

    Hi,
      I am new to Collaboration, so thought someone could help me with this. I have already gone through documentation and I got some basic questions regarding COllaboration.
    a) I want to create a collaboration room. what are the portal roles that will be helpful for me. i.e is it ok if i assign CollaborationRoomCreation Role to the guy who creates a room (he will be admin and room owner, let us say "roomadmin") and a Collaboration Role to members. is it required to assign the content admin and system admin for the collaboration room administrator.  Isnt it cumbersome that each time a room owner invites a member, he should also notify user amdinistrator to assign "collaboration" role to the member in question.
    Note: We are just using standard templates provided by SAP.
    b) and once roomadmin creates the room and includes a memnber for this room, will that particular user be automatically assigned the workset "Collaboration" which is in the Role "Collaboration" or should he contact user admin to assign the Collaboration role to the member that roomadmin has added.
    c) afaik, we can create documents, links, discussions, ratings, comments, feedback, reviews on documents in collaboration rooms. arent these KM functions that are being used in Collaboration
    e) arent the docs and folders created in collaboration rooms be available in KM content workset, if so where can i find them?
    I have anotehr set of questions, but thought that i could seperate into two threads..becuase these questions itself carries 10 points.
    Please help me in this regard.
    thanks
    P.S: would be great if you could just give me atleast oneline answer instead of giving links to help/sdn..as i already gone through documentation and didnt understand the above concepts.

    hi,
         its not necessary to assign content admin and System admin role. collaboration room creation role contains room directory iveiw thats more than enough for room creation. assign room creation role to ur administrator and for all other user you can assign a role called EU_role.
    By assinging that role, u wil get to  see a workset called "home" in ur TLN.inside this workset u have a tab called rooms. the end user can see all types of room here.
    so its not needed to assign collaboration role to all end users.

  • Basic question

    Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
    Name Quantity
    and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail?  for standard dso and for write optimized?
    NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
    and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
    thanks

    Hi Vik,
    Yes, the load will fail.
    May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
    You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
    Hope this helps.

  • Pl/sql vs sql basic question

    Hi,
    I have a very very basic question, so excuse me for that... I just would like to know the difference ( and the difference in usage) between sql and pl/sql?
    thank you
    Yann

    SQL - the structured query language - is the language available for extracting data from the database. It is a 4GL, and each command stands alone and performs a database action.
    PL/SQL is the 3GL primarily intended to control the flow of a series of SQL commands. PL/SQL does not, in any way, interact with the data in the database. It does, however, allow SQL statements to be called, or even created, in a specific order.
    SQL is capable of a LOT more than people usually realize. Unfortunate, as people often create PL/SQL programs when single SQL statements will do the job. I encourage reading the O'Reilly 'Mastering Oracle SQL' book ... only after fiunishing that book do I recommend any of Feuerstein's excellent PL/SQL books.

  • Basic questions on data modeling

    Hi experts,
    I have some basic questions regarding data modeling within MDM. I understand the available table types and the concept of lookup fields. I know that the MDM data modeling concept is different to the relational concept. But having a strong database background my first step was to design a relational data model which I would like to transfer to a MDM repository. Unfortunately I didn't found good information material on this. So here are some questions maybe you can help me:
    1) Is it the right approach to model n:m relationships with multivalued lookup fields? E.g. main table Users with lookup field from subtable SapAccounts (a user can have accounts in different SAP systems, that means more than one account).
    2) Has a record always be unique in MDM repositories (e.g. should we use Auto ID's in every table or do we have to mark a combination of fields as unique)? Is a composite key of 2 or more fields represented with marking these fields as unique?
    3) The concept of relationships in MDM is only based on relationships between single records (not valid for all records in a table)? Is it necessary to define all relationships similar to the relational data model in MDM? Is there something similar to referential integrity in MDM?
    4) Is it possible to change the main table to a sub table later on if we realize that it has also to be used as a lookup table for another table (when extending the data model) or do we have to create a new repository from scratch?
    Thank you for your answers.
    Regards, bd

    Yes you are correct. It is almost difficult to map relational database to mdm one. But again MDM is not 'just' a database. It holds much more 'master' information as compared to any relational db.
    1) Is it the right approach to model n:m relationships with multivalued lookup fields? E.g. main table Users with lookup field from subtable SapAccounts (a user can have accounts in different SAP systems, that means more than one account).
    Yes Here you need to use MV look up tables or can also try Qualifier tables if it gets more complex
    2) Has a record always be unique in MDM repositories (e.g. should we use Auto ID's in every table or do we have to mark a combination of fields as unique)? Is a composite key of 2 or more fields represented with marking these fields as unique?
    Concept of uniqueness differs here that you also have something called Display Fields (DF). A combination of DF can also be treated as Unique one. For instance while importing records if you select these DF as a combination, you will eliminate any possible of duplicates based on this combination. Auto Id is one of the ways to have a unique id once record is within MDM. While you use UF or DF to eliminate any possible duplicates at import level
    3) The concept of relationships in MDM is only based on relationships between single records (not valid for all records in a table)? Is it necessary to define all relationships similar to the relational data model in MDM? Is there something similar to referential integrity in MDM?
    Hmm... good one. Referencial Integrity. What I assume you are talking is that if you have relationships between tables then removing a record will not be possible as it is a foreign key for some record. Here MDM does not allow that. As Relationships within MDM are physical and not conceptual. For instance material can have components. Now if material does not exist then any relationship to components is not worthwile to maintain. Hence relationshsip is eliminated.  While in relational model relationships are more conceptual. Hence with MDM usage of lookups and main table you do not need to maintain these kind of relationships on your own.
    4) Is it possible to change the main table to a sub table later on if we realize that it has also to be used as a lookup table for another table (when extending the data model) or do we have to create a new repository from scratch?
    No. It is not possible to convert main table. There is only one main table and it cannot be changed.
    I went for the same option but it did not work. What I suggest is to look up your legacy system one by one and see what fields in general can be classified as Master, Reference, Transactional - You will start getting answers immediately.

  • Basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed in Production

    Hi all,
    I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
    or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
    Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
    We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
    /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
    Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
    I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
    Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
    I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

    How Can I Get a List of the ODBC Drivers that are Installed on a Computer?

    Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

    Hi S Kumar Dubey,
    In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
    Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
    2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
    Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
    The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
    of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
    By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
    Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
    version.
    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

    If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question. Trying to hold out as long as I can, but purchasing an iPhone for Christmas and new iMac next year when warrently expires.

    Thank U very much for the quick reply, I wanted to upgrade this weekend, but still on the fence. I can live with the software that is not compatible, they are on another compuetr, just didn't want the obvious stuff to stop working.
