Copy files out of Preview

With 10.3 and Preview 2.1.1, one could open a folder of photos and drop copies directly out of Preview into a new folder by altclickdrag to the folder. This seems to have gotten broken with the change to 10.4. It works fine on my iBook, but the G5 iMac doesn't want to do it. Sure was nice to preview the group and pick the ones out you wanted to take to the store to print...does anybody know what happened to this timesaver?

Thanks for your response. We are currently trialling (seemingly with success so far) adding the following key to the registry
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
create a new DWORD
DirectoryCacheLifetime set to 0
reboot and test
if that doesn’t work remove the DWORD and install hotfix here, and reboot..

Since upgrading to OSX 10.6.8, I am unable to use scp on a remote machine to copy files into my iMac.

Any suggestions?
However, I can use scp to copy files out from my iMac (10.6.8) .
I can ssh into the iMac OK.
I created a .profile in my iMac home directory with the single line "export TERM=xterm-color".
This makes a difference to how scp behaves when attempting to copy into the iMac, but it still fails.
Thanks in advance for any help. Peter R
Here is the scp debug output (on the remote machine that I'm copying a file from, to the iMac):

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

What happened is that my internet connection was not good so i downloaded .ipsw file from a torrent but now i cannot get it to update my ipad because ios 5.0.1 is out i tried copying files to ipad updates in the itunes folder but no help

plz help

If you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.

Copy files on import greyed out

Hi I am testing PSE10 on Mac Lion before buying and one thing is stopping me buying it at the moment. I want my original files to stay where they are and not copied into the PSE library. Upon getting photos from folders option there is a "copy files on import" which is ticked, aha I thought just take the tick out but it is greyed out - can anyone help ?
Thanks

If you are also using iPhoto; Elements will make copies to your hard drive to prevent corruption of the photo Library. The choice is Organizer or iPhoto to manage your images or you can use iPhoto together with the Elements Editor; in which case you need to set Elements as your external editor within the iPhoto settings.

Error when trying to preview on device : unable to copy files to device

I have an error with the device preview function.
Everything is installed and has worked 2-3 times, but painfully.
An error is often displayed and says unable to copy files to the device.
What is the problem?
Have you this error?

Are you using this function without problem ?
Is your custom viewer built with developper or enterprise certificate ?

Having trouble dragging/dropping files from my MacAir to a shared drive window, when I try to drag/drop gets bounced out. Can anyone help with advice on how to drag/drop or otherwise copy files to a shared drive? thanks in advance

I am having trouble dragging/dropping or otherwise copying files from my MacAir to a window for a shared drive.
When I try to drag/drop, files get bounced out.
Anyone know how to drag/drop in such a case, or otherwise copy files from MacAir to a shared drive (which I do not believe is on a Mac, not sure if that matters).
Any help much appreciated, thanks in advance

"Copy files on import" checked and greyed out in elements organizer 12

Elements organizer 12. Importing from hard-disk. Want to import without copying files, but the box "copy files on import" is checked and greyed out.
Remains so even when selecting a fresh jpg file. (Import with copying is not a good option: eventually more than 50.000 pictures and videos are to be imported -
I would have to delete my main media file structure in favor of adobes internal storage. Major hassle right at the start of using adobe's software..).
What can I do ?
(I found the same question several times on the internet, but no useable answer).

Copying Band files OUT of iTunes

Hi, I have written a few songs with GB for iPad, great tool, absolutely loving it!
But for one niggle; I can't seem to "drag-and-drop" export the ".band" files I send to iTunes into my Windows 7 desktop? I understand from my research that the ".band" file is actually a folder (on Mac anyways) so I am thinking this may be the cause of the issue (being probably a different structure to that expected by Windows, hence Windows doesn't like to save it perhaps?)
Anyways, despite this what I could do with is a way of getting my ".band" files out of iTunes and on to a hard drive so that I can have backups of my compositions and share them with other members of my family that are also composing, but on different devices.
Any ideas on how this can be achieved? The simple way would seem to be the drag-out procedure that I use for the converted m4p versions of my music, but this simply doesn't work with the ".band" files...
Any help much appreciated!!

The Band file in Windows 7 is indeed all in a folder. To get at it:
-- Connect your iPad up to your Windows 7 machine
-- Launch iTunes
-- in iTunes - Click on the "Apps" Selection at the top of the window (sandwiched between "Info" and "Music" on the top
-- Scroll down to "File Sharing" in the window
-- Click on GarageBand in the list of apps
-- Highlight the Band file you want to export (listed to the right under "GarageBand Documents"
-- Click the "Save To" button
Specify the folder you want to dump the files to. I'd recommend a new folder, or one specifically for GarageBand files.. as there will be several new files dumped there.
That should do it . . .

Copying files from Windows rips out group permissions

Hi there all,
Having some problems with group permissions being removed from files when data is copied from a Windows OS.
We currently have a network of Macs that are tied to a AD/OD structure.
We have also set a custom umask for each mac defining 002 as the permissions to be written to files.
However, when we connect to a Windows file share using the smb:// protocol and copy files/folders across to the Mac environment the umask permissions are not written correctly.
The User is given full control and the Everyone group is denied access. However, no group permissions are written at all.
We have tried altering the smb.conf file to no effect.
Could anybody shed some light on this annoying problem?
Many thanks

You have to install this version of samba as Apple have made a complete hash of implementing their own... Another massive fail from the worlds favourite consumer electrics company... Listen to the pro users leaving in droves...

Cannot copy files to/from external drive

Hi All,
Bit of a cry for help. I run an iMac 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 10.7.3 and I'm having some serious problems with an external drive. Some history first - I have a large iTunes library (~3Tb) of everytype of media which I stored on an external NAS (iomega StorCenter) with no problems - then this NAS started to report a drive error with imminent failure. I purchased a new DAS (Western Digital) drive and moved all my content from the NAS to the DAS and everything was ok. Then I started to get errors through iTunes about cannot find the file and cannot read the files - and then I couldn't access anything on the drive. At this time I thought this was a different problem because I was running preview Mountain Lion, or there was an actual fault with the disk. After investigation, and coughing out for Data Rescue 3 I found that somehow the entire file structure had been corrupted and all my files had been orphaned. So at this point I had one dying NAS drive and one DAS which wasn't usable and no space to recover any files to.
So - next step was to purchase another external drive (and returned the WD) - this time I went for a G-Raid 4Tb (non-thunderbolt) drive and I've been in the process of recovering files from backups and iTunes. I've had no problems until today when yet again I've started getting errors and now I have problems copying files to/from this G-Raid drive.
Technical details - OS-X 10.7.3 - G-Raid 4Tb formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - currently showing 1,163 folders and 15,452 files.
Symptoms - using finder drag and drop copy a file from the g-Raid to desktop results in 'The operation can't be completed because the item 'xxx' is in use. - 'The operation can't be completed because one or more required items can't be found (error code -43).' and the copy fails.
Using the cp command I get a 'Resource Busy' error.
However, this is not for all files - I've managed to copy all my books back to the desktop ok, when a couple came up with the above error I tried again and it copied successfully.
I have run Disk Utility - here are the details :-

I'm now out of ideas and when I got in touch with G-Tech support I got "Unfortunately the drive seems to have been corrupted. You can try to retrieve the data using third party data recovery software such as Data Rescue 3. You can find the software at a discounted rate at the following page:http://www.thedatarescuecenter.com/gtech-data-recovery-software.html If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask."
any help/advice/pointers very much appreciated as I really don't want to have to start recovering again :-(
Thanks all.

Hi Ncat,
I might have had similar problems with yours. Finder stuck at 'Not Responding' while I boot my Macbook Pro with external HDD plugged in, my macbook heats up considerably maybe because it keeps trying to access the external disk. And Finder can only proceed after I unplugged my external hard disk.
So what I did was:
I rebooted my macbook into recovery mode (by holding cmd+R before / during the booting chime
I used the Disk Utility from there (instead of from normal booting)
Then I proceed to with 'Repair Permissions' and 'Repair Disk' for each and every partition of the external harddisk, and also my internal hard disk.
Rebooted after everything's done, and now it seems to work.
I hope that it will work for you

After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Any help would be appreciated.

After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out. Any help would be appreciated.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

How do you copy a page from preview to duplicate it?

Hello,
I want to copy a page from preview so that I have 2 pages that are the same. Before I upgraded to Maverik, I used to be able to right click on the page (in the sidebar) I wanted, click "copy" then right click in the sidebar and click "paste".
Now when I right click on the page in the sidebar I don't get the option to copy and paste.
I found that if I opened a new copy of the same document, I could import it into my working draft then delete all of the pages I didn't want, but that is way too much work. If someone could help I would be very grateful.
Thank you so much!

Not exactly what you want, but Preview/Edit/Insert/then select the file. Preview/Edit/Delete pages you don't want. That is the only way I could figure out how to do it from within Preview.

Can no longer move or copy files between drives (not a newbie issue!)

Copying and moving files between internal and external devices, and external to external devices is no longer working.
*For the first time in my life, I get a "Circle with a Bar through it" when attempting to move or copy files.*
This doesn't happen between the two internal drives at all (though I'm worried it might start). It happens between two HFS+J devices as well as HFS+J and FAT32 devices. I can delete files, create folders, and in some instances where things are acting funny, copy to, but not from the device. A noticed side effect that is now happening is that I can no longer move drive icons (CDs, DVDs, HDs) to their upper-right hand corner position on the desktop, if they didn't start there. They don't drop there, just staying where they originally sat (under a list of desktop shortcuts and files). It does not matter if the drives are USB or Firewire, and this never happened previous to about a month ago.
I have done all the basic stuff -- verify/repair drives, reboot multiple times, mount & dismount, change connection ports, backed up-reformatted-and restored the smallest drive, fixed preferences (not at all relevant), Disk Warrior repair the devices, set all permissions to R/W, check all device related infos, researched on-line for a week... Nothing. I have even taken the devices to PCs, where they work perfectly, and as expected.
This issue is apparently either a corruption, or a bug induced by Software Update, in the part of the system that handles files and file structures, or possibly the _USB and Firewire_ interfaces.
I just need to know where all those relevant parts are in the system folders, so I can attempt to restore them from a backup previous to the last "Software Update," (to be sure. And to bring this one step closer to being solved).
A system restore really is not an option, as that would require nearly two weeks of re-tweaking everything from the system to every piece of software included (updating the system about 10 times via software update, reinstalling 90% of the actual software packages... and then updating those multiple times, looking-up all the serials that get killed, etc.)
I have to correct this fast, as we need to move the files from the work drives to the archive drives before we run out of room. So any help would be very appreciated... even if you only know where a few of the system components are located (it just might be one of those, causing the issue).
---TIA

{The last link in this post is most relevant, except for your recent finding.}
The reference was to the User permissions, per each; as when these
become corrupted, the simple 'repair disk permissions' and other
basic duties do not find an error with them. That is because there is
nothing really wrong with them from that standpoint.
Another odd error can happen if one is resizing partitions in an Intel
based Mac, and also if one has or had a BootCamp partition and
wanted to reclaim space. But not always. Thankfully, the only time
I tried Windows on a Mac, the media install disc was corrupted so
it just didn't happen. That was Virtual PC and Windows on PPC.
Tiger brought with it the ability to non-destructively resize partitions.
However, it was not thought to be successful in non-Intel based Macs.
The discussion on that matter came up a few years ago, so someone
has undoubtably tried that in a PPC and reported findings online.
When file sharing between user-account created content runs amok,
then the system(s) will not allow the content to be moved or shared.
So, if any shared user-account created content (including drives
initialized or handled without permissions ignored, clones wrong,
etc) are not the problem, then how does one explain these wrong
ful action circles-with-lines, or action disallowed warning symbols?
There must be a simpler answer. Do you have cats which have
access to your computers in the off-hours? They do keyboard.
Some have been thought to have technical skills outside of the
usual coy and cute play-acting people think they are limited to.
I'm sticking to the cats theory for now; the time is 3:21AM here
and I only am up to get a drink and look outside at +5°F. calm.
