Binary file save - bug in lv8 for MAC ?

Hi,
Using LV8 on Mac OSX, I found a bug concerning binary file saving (attached file).
Write an array of double in a binary file. Read it back.
If you used little endian,ok. If you used Big-endian, result is wrong (but no error).
Could a mac user replicate ?

Just as an additional data point, everything works fine under Windows.
(As a workaround, have you tried flattening the data for writing? I don't have a MAC, so I cannot test.)

Why can't I save something in Word for Mac?

When I try to save something to Word for Mac, it says that the HD if full. It's not. I've only had my computer for a year and I can't save anything to a flash drive either. Help, please!

I clicked on the HD and it said that I had 203.58 GB available, Capacity is 499.25 GB. Format is journaled.
Once I decided to save it as a .docx file, it let me (but my computers at school are so old, I can't open them there.) When this wouldn't work the other night, I ended up rebooting it and it worked. Unfortunately, it did it again today.
It says that it's only 393 KB so it's not too big.

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Inserting a .wmv file into a powerpoint 2011 for mac

When I try to insert a wmv file in powerpoint 2011 for mac I get the following error. "Powerpoint couldn't insert a movie from the selected file. Either the file is non standard or Quicktime is not installed properly." I do have Flip4Mac installed. I also tried to rename the .wmv file as a .mov file. Thanks in advance for your help.

I do have Flip4Mac installed. I also tried to rename the .wmv file as a .mov file.
Do you have the $29 (or greater) Flip4Mac decoder component installed? Changing the file extension at the Finder level does not change the data type contained within the file nor the file container type. If you want the WMV data in an MOV file container, you must use the QT 7 Pro (or MPEG Streamclip) "Save As..." option (together with the decoder component) to partially expand the WMV data (file will be noticeably larger) and place the expanded data in a "real" MOV file container.

Can't add files/folders to 'My Passport for Mac'

I just bought a My Passport for Mac 2 or 3 TB (can't remember and unimportant). I have just installed it on my MacBook Pro (it's 6 months old w/built-in CD/DVD drive) and the first file I tried to add to My Passport was a GoPro folder of pictures. Error code -50 came up. So I tried just one photo and the same thing. I then tried to create a folder on My Passport for Mac and again it wouldnt let me.
I have had both PC and Mac's. I havent had a computer for years and everything I try to do on this bloody Mac is trouble for me. I am honestly getting sick of Mac. My iPhone 4S has been nothing but headaches as well. The biggest Problem I have with my iPhone is the sound comes and goes as it pleases, very frustrating! Now this with My Passport.... come on....
Can anyone help me with the My Passport issue? Regarding the other issues, any suggessions would be great!

Thank you very much. The problem was, because I have System Preferences set up not to show hard drives and volumes on the desktop, the mounted volume wasn't appearing there, even 'though I could see it was mounted in Disk Utility.
Prompted by your answer, I found the volume in my Finder and was able to drag and drop contents to it there. Ta-da!

Is there a conflict in copying files from windows to formatted for mac ED.

I am going to format a large external drive for mac to house my movie files under advice of several helpful people here. When I format this drive the am I going to have problems copying the files back to it from my windows pc????
I had already backed my movies and photos' to the drive....but formatting will delete them.
Any feedback appreciated!

To begin with, I've arranged to have your post moved from the Solaris 11 forum to the Solaris 9 forum.
That's the closest arena for questions involving a system running Solaris 8, as you stated in the title of your post.
I think you have a Filezilla issue, not an OS issue.
It's been a very long time since I needed to investigate deep into Filezilla's settings but I recall there's some various choices as to 8-dot-3 versus long-file-name compatibilities.
My various systems with Filezilla installed don't have your issue and they're all installed with what I vaguely remember as its program defaults. When I use the program it is ALWAYS to transfer files back and forth between MSWin and *NIX systems.
You might think about searching for hints and solutions on Filezilla forums/blogs/wikis instead these forums here.

Does Pages alleviate the problem of bloated pdf files created when using Word for Mac?

I am finishing up my PhD dissertation and need to convert it to a .pdf file to be able to send it via email, however, as many are probably aware, when making pdfs directly from Word for Mac the pdf files are enourmous! If I move the document over to a Windows machine, the pdf is managable, but with all the little formatting details of a thesis, it screws up enough that it will be torture to have to fix it. I will glady get Pages (I was going to switch after my defense anyway) if I can make a pdf that is not 140 MB (my thesis .docx file is a little over 500MB)!

In Pages you have the option to export to Pdf and can choose between good, better and best versions. Beware though it is often the images that will lose in resolution. This is what the Pages User Guide says:
If you’re exporting to PDF, you must choose an image quality (a higher image quality results in a larger PDF file):
Best: Image resolutions are not scaled down.
Better: Images are downsampled to 150 dpi. Images without transparency (alpha
channel) are JPEG-compressed by 0.7.
Good: Images are downsampled to 72 dpi. Images without transparency (alpha channel) are JPEG-compressed by 0.9.

Will files from QuickBooks 5.0 for Mac easily transfer to a new download of QuickBooks 2011 for Mac?

Since Lion doesn't support very old QuickBooks 5.0 installed in 2003, will installing the latest QuickBooks for Mac 2011 open up the old files? If not, any suggestions? Thanks.

Can't Save Microsoft Word & Excel for MAC files

Has anyone encounter the software bug that prevent you from saving Microsoft for Word .doc and Excel workbook files to a USB drive attached to the Airport Extreme. After numerous conversations with level 2 technical support and a visit to the Apple Store where we recreated the problem with different Apple components, they confirmed there is a bug in their Airport Extreme Disk utility software. If you run into this problem, here is the solution:
Under the Apple icon, select Go, Connect to Server. Under the drive address, type smb://10.0.1.1 This solves the problem. Delete the Airport Disk utility software from the startup program list and add the network drive associated with the smb server address into the startup file to automatically attach to the network when you log in.

This is a well known issue and has been discussed in several threads. Here are a few:
MS Word can't save to Airport Disk
MS Word doesn't want to save docs to Airport Extreme connected HD
Problems saving excel doc on USB AirPort disk

Uploading files containing swedish letter åäö gets ecoding corrupted in firefox for mac. Same features works fine in all other browsers. Is this a bug in firefox for mac?

When uploading a file containing swedish letter å, ä or ö the file name is gets corupted in the filename. There are som encoding issues just for the mac version, since the file name is uploaded correctly in all other browsers on mac and all browsers in windows.

What form does this corruption take? According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695995 the difference is decomposed vs precomposed Unicode forms, but that should not actually affect any Unicode-complian software. If there's a site that shows a problem here, can you point me to it?

WMV Files Not Playing In Powerpoint For Mac 2011 (Lion OS)?

Hi guys!
I recently upgraded to Lion (and I think I like it) BUT I have been putting together a Power Point presentation for work (I'm a University Lecturer) and trying to embed some movies with no luck... I insert the files and go to play them, but all I get is audio. I have tried MOV, AVI, WMV, MP4, etc, etc... no joy. I have tried Flip 4 Mac, QuickTime and VLC... no joy. When I play the embedded file, no video, just audio!
Before I upgraded to Lion, it was esy... convert the clips, inset into PowerPoint, and away I go!
HELP!!!

I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with:

Where is the MediaDatabase.db3 file in Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac?

How to tell file size in Elements 9 for Mac

I'm new to Mac. I've used Elements for many years. When I click on File>open and browse my image icons in the "finder" folder (no, I don't use iPhoto), I can't see file size info. In Windows, I used to be able to hover my cursor over an image icon and read the file size info. This doesn't work in Mac. When I go the Finder>preferences and set image info for icons, the file's size appears in a different color beneath each icon, which is great. But when I try to browse finder from the Open file menu in Editor, the file size is gone. How do I fix this? I mean if I have three images of the same subject, but different sizes, how can I tell which is which?
Thanks for your help!
Dave

Yes, this is something that has annoyed everyone ever since OS X started (you could do it in OS 9). One workaround is to use column view. Once you choose an image you will see all the data about it in the righthand column:

Why is there such a diffrency in file size in PS cs6 for mac and cs6 pc version?

What am i missing in the mac version?

There's no difference in features between the Mac and PC version. I believe the file difference is simply due to the foundation of the application, and additional support for different OS versions.
