Copy a folder with Mac Aliases from Terminal

there is any way to use "cp" command or other ones to copy from Terminal a folder that contains Mac Aliases into it?
t.i.a

Try using the ditto command to perform the copy as you would for a folder which doesn't contain aliases.

How to copy a folder more then 4GB from from my iMac to a pendrive or external hard disk?

how to copy a folder more then 4GB from from my iMac to a pendrive or external hard disk?
i have an iMac 27inch with os x 10.8.

You'll have to reformat the drive.
Assuming you want to use it with both Mac and Windows, reformat it on the Windows machine as exFAT (this is FAT64 as opposed to the standard formatting for those drives as FAT32)
exFAT has no file size limitations (for all practical purposes).
This will require the Windows machine to be on at least XP (with an update) and the Mac on 10.6.5 or higher
If it's being used only with Mac, reformat as GUID partition map and Mac OS Extended.

Is there any HDD player compactable with Mac appart from ipod?

I've been search everywhere for a HDD player that works with Mac and every company seems to hate Mac maybe because ipod has taken over the market. So can anyone tell me which HDD works with mac appart from ipod? I would be very gratefull and my search for a new HDD player will come to an end!
Windows XP i want a mac

Not sure what you mean by HDD player.
I have used Archos Hard Disk players with my Mac, changing the preferences in iTunes to mp3 and copying the music files over manually and it also plays video files as well.
If the music player can play mp3 files it is very likely it will work fine with a Mac.
Note that I am unable to copy over and play directly iTunes Music Store files I have downloaded form the Music Store.

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

If the external drives are formatted for Windows (NTFS), you can't write to them natively on a Mac. Your options are (1) to back up and reformat the devices as FAT32 or ExFAT, or (2) to install third-party software that enables writing to an NTFS volume (not recommended.)

You need to clear what you want. All in one printer that does printing and scanning? There are many. Look at the HP Envy series.

Copy to folder WITH metadata

I was clearing off some photos I rarely use into a folder I was going to store on my ext drive. Afterwards I realized I had put some on there that I needed. When I reimported them they went to the end of the line rather than where they originally were.
I was wondering how to export them to a folder with the metadata intact.
Thanks in advance

WHy not have a second iPhoto Library on the external drive?
Simply copy the iPhoto Library Folder from your Pictures folder to the External. Then, hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. Select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the external.
Now you have a secnd library on the HD. From it, delete any pics you don't want in it.
Then repeat the option (or alt) key trick and select 'Choose Library' again. This time navigate to the Pictures Folder and pen that Library. From it, delete the pics you don't want there.
iPhoto Library Manager will make the proces of moving pics and metadata from library to library much simpler.

Lion, Finder quits when copying a folder with idlk files (indesign cs4)

I have a network volume on solaris which I backup folders to the local desktop. if I drag the folder to the desktop in lion, it gives permission issues once it gets to the idlk file, the finder resets, disconnects the network drive and does not copy. If i use snow leopard, the finder works fine and skips the the .idlk from all these guys having open files on the server. This is disruptive for my backups because often users have files open. How do i skip or ignore the .idlk files when I am backing up entire directories?

This sounds like a Lion bug...File it with Apple...
Can you use a tool other than the Finder to do the backup? Perhaps you could use an Applescript Droplet or something.
Then you could try some other tool (perhaps 'ditto') to do the copy. Worst case you can copy the folder to a temporary location on the hard drive and then copy that copy to the Solaris server...

iTunes media is stored only in iTunes on your local computer. If you're in the US, now you can redownload purchased items only. Non-purchased items and items you purchased outside of iTunes is not recoverable. If you're elsewhere, you're out of luck.

Opening the HDrive with Mac booted from System disk? Any help please?

Is it possible to open the HDrive and look/search for files inside it
while my Mac is started from manufacturer's system disk?
(It seems to me I can do just system reinstall and use dusk utilities but have no way to see what is in the HD)
I am a novice and any tip from experienced users is welcome!
My MacBookPro has OSX 10.6

Thanks Kappy for this reply, which is my first glimpse in really hi tech things!
I started with opening Terminal and
following line appeared :
-bash-3.2#
next to it I entered as you told me:
/sbin/mount -uw /
and clicked on return (here I don't know if it is right thing to do ) and got this :
usage: mount [-dfruvw] [-o options] [-t ufs | external_type] special node
mount [-adfruvw] [-t ufs | external_type]
mount [-afruvw] special | node
followed by another new line:
-bash-3.2#
( I tried to to type lines as accurately as possible because I can copy them in Terminal but have nowhere to paste them - the laptop in question works only when booted from CD.)
So, from this point I don't know how to proceed - where to enter the line you recomended: cp /Users/stephanie /Volumes/Backup/stephanie
and what are the exact steps to perform...
Also I don't quite understand what is "Home folder" -is it the administrator account folder which I named when installed the system for first time?
In my computer it is named "steph77"
Also some extra info that may assist you:
My external drive is named "LaCIE" and is plugged in the MacBook.
My internal hard drive to which I want access is named "MacHD" and my account
steph77 is inside it.
Can you help me with the steps to accomplish my task?
It is my first time meeting with command line and am a bit lost but very determined to learn it!
Thanks in advance Kappy , waiting for your reply !

Image copy to folder with name based on image creation date

Hi all,
I am new to Mac OS X and automator so I would like to know the following,
Is it possible to have an automated action that triggers when I attach my camera to USB, and who copies all images to a folder which is named according to the date when the image was created?
Example:
I attach my camera and it shows up as disk image named "NIKON D70" and the images are contained in subfolders "DCIM/100NCD70" (or actually in DCIM/*). I then want all images in these folders copied to my home directory in a subdirectory called something like "Pictures/D70/2007/20070605" where the year folder name and the date folder name should be according to current image creation date (which of course can be different for each image).
I have created a simple automation script that copies images from my camera to a folder named according to current date, but that's not good enough.
Anybody having any hints or ideas of how I can accomplish this?
Regards

Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_file in (get files of window 1)
set the_date to creation date of this_file
set folder_name to ((year of the_date as string) & "-" & day of the_date & "-" & month of the_date)
try
make new folder in window 1 with properties {name:folder_name}
end try
move this_file to folder folder_name
end repeat
end tell

I want to copy the name with email address from Mail like I could before Mavericks

Hi There
I have resisted upgrading to Mavericks for all this time because Mavericks now stops the name of the contact being copied when I copy the email address from the sender. What is now copied is: '[email protected]'
What I want and what it used to be before Mavericks is: 'Dave Garnish <[email protected]>'
I know it sounds petty but it has stopped me upgrading for all this time, but now I need 4k monitor support.
Thanks in advance anyone who may have the answer to this.
Best
Dave

The following Terminal command used to enable the use of the name along with the email address:
defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool YES
(Change YES to NO to undo the change.)
I don't know if it still works.
You can also affect this feature in the mail message via Mail, Preferences, Use Smart Addresses. When unchecked the sender's address gets the name and angle bracket thing.

OS 10.10 how to hide/show a folder with a password using terminal

In Yosemite 10.10.2 Terminal Can you please tell me how to hide/show with a password then show again on already existing folder created on a system drive and also an external drive. Please provide the path text to folder name "wbfiles". Thank you Winwoodb

You can drag it from one place on a drive to another. If you are moving it from one drive to another then it copies it. If you are moving it on the same drive and are getting that message then not being able to move the folder is the least of your problems. Free up space immediately because your computer is about to crash and probably lose files. Then you'll have lots of space.

Imported photo's from computer, via Itunes, to iphone, now itunes can't find the folder with original pictures from Iphone or doesn't recognize it.

Dear reader,
i just bought a new Iphone 5s, and decided to download Itunes and sync my Iphone with my laptop. Everyting went well until i decided to try out some things and i imported pictures via Itunes from laptop to Iphone. this is how i did it: Itunes - iphone - pictures - pictures synchronized from 'option choose map' - I chose another map - after, i 'ticked' box 'all maps'. Then i hit the button 'synchronize'. I forgot to look how the orignal map was called and this was the one Itunes syncronised autmatically with, that one also contaned all the original pictures on my Iphone. So, after putting some new photo's on my Iphone, i wanted to change the settings back to normal so my Itunes and Iphone could sync iphone pictures again. But I can't find the old map back or Itunes doesn't recognize the map. I already tried to use the map 'Ipod Photo Cache' but it shows only empty folders. I also tried computer - iphone - Internal storage or DCIM or 860OKMZO; No idea what that means but i thought that the last two folders can contain pictures. However, i get an error if select these ones a map in Itunes. How do I get back to the old settings again?
I hope I described the problem well; English is not my native language so i'm sure this might contain grammar mistakes.
A big 'thank you' for helping me in advance!

When i connected the iphone to my laptop, i found the location of the pictures on the iphone; the a map called '860OKMZO' (i've mentioned this map earlier, this folder is located inside the folder DCIM). But if i try to open it with Itunes, this error comes up: 'foldername is invalid'. I figured that Itunes could have saved the synchronised pictures in another map somewhere else but i've found nothing...

Copy standard cost with Cost Component from another material

Hi,
I need to copy standard cost from another material not only total price but also details of cost component split. I try to used transaction CKUC with procedure of "explode material cost estimate" but the reference material use "mixed costing" and isystem stop explosion.
There is another procedure in order to make this copy? I can not use special procurement because are different codes (material A / Plant XXX copy froma material B /Plant XXX).
Thanks for your support.
Mic

Hi Chandra,
thanks for your suggestion, it works but only if I explode a level ... material "B" contains two mix codes that also contain their mixes. So system shows this message "Mixed cost estimate explosion in level 2 for material xxx" and "Mixed cost estimate exists: maximum of 2 explosion level (s) possible".
So Is not possible to copy and esploded a standard cost with multi level mix?
Thanks
Michela
