Creating folders for data files on a Mac

On a Mac platform, I am interested in trying to programically create
folders (named by the user) for data files to be placed in. How can
this be done? Currently, if I send a path that includes new folders
that don't exist to the Write to Spreadsheet.vi, I get an error 7 (new
files don't exist). However if I manually create the folders before
executing the VI, the files are written correctly. How can I avoid this
last step. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in
advance.

  • Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

    Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

    No. This is NOT true. I've been battling with this for a couple hours.
    I choose Export>Versions
    choose
    Subfolder Format: Project Name
    no custom subfolder
    Name Format: Current Version Name.
    Aperture creates project folders for each image and names them Projects1, Projects2, Projects3 etc.
    To be sure, I have no project named Projects
    x
    This particular Aperture library has 16 projects. you can see in the screen grab it's created more than 30 folders
    If I uncheck the Subfolder, that is say NONE, I just get images and images and images, not in their project folders (of course, because I've said NONE, so why would it put them in project folders?)
    I just want to export the entire library and have the versions placed in folders named by the projects from which they came.... ez enough, no?

  • Creating folders for "To Do" in mac mail

    How do I create folders for "To Do's" in mail? I have multiple "To Do's" and they can get a bit confusing and difficult to shuffle through. I can't for the life of me figure out how to place them into folders. I can place individual "Notes" into folders but not "To Do's"

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    As far as I know you can't move To Do's to different folders. Nevertheless, where a specific To Do is stored depends on where you've created it. If you are using an IMAP email-account and have it selected in the sidebar of Apple Mail when clicking on the To Do button of Mail, the To Do will be created and stored in the folder "Apple Mail To Do" on the server. Note that at the same time a calendar, labeled after your account, will be created in iCal.

  • Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for two batches of photos and now they are missing. They were not deleted by anyone, and even if they were, they were not found in my trash can. What happened? They were erased from my camera, so I am upset.

    Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for 2 batches of photos I downloaded from my camera to iphotos but now both are missing.  They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan. I have looked through every folder and they are not there. Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? Thank you.

    How do you know they were not deleted? Is it possible that they were moved to the trash and the trash has been emptied, if not by you, perhaps by someone else?
    In the best case, you mean they were not deleted from your camera.  If so, it will be simple to merely download again from your camera after you have corrected any problem with your Mac or workflow.
    If you have a way to be certain that your two folders were not deleted from your Mac,  follow the directions provided by your Mac's Disk Utility to repair your Disk (not Disk Permissions.)  On more than one occasion, disk repair has restored the visibility of missing folders I knew I had not deleted.  If you have trouble with the process, post back which specific Mac OS version ( > About This Mac) you are using so we can offer specific help.
    It is also possible that the missing folders might be saved somewhere you do not expect them to be.
    It is also possible that they may merely be invisible and, thus, not showing in your Finder windows even after performing a Disk Repair.
    Here are some more ideas you can consider:
    Restart Mac and then look where you expect the folders to be.  They may be visible there now.
    If not, try a Spotlight search for the folder name(s) you used.  Spotlight may give you a list of places to look.  If you don't remember the folder name(s), try a search for the file type your camera uses for saved images.  My cameras save "jpg" files, but yours may save other image file types. 
    You can also open a finder window and use the window's search oval to search.  The method allows you to use the search "+" button to add invisible items via the "File Visibility"  choice.
    debbie5891 wrote:... I have looked through every folder and they are not there....
    If you are using any version of Mac OS X, I doubt this statement can be true.
    If you select your disk volume name (not the Media item) in the sidebar of your Mac's Disk Utility, you will see that the number of Folders and files on your disk is very large.  For example,I keep my startup disk small and write most of my files to other disks.  Even so, my startup disk contains more than 195,000 folders.
    If you mean you used some software to search each folder, please post back the name of the app you are using.
    debbie5891 wrote: ... Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? ...
    I have not had the problem you describe, nor have I heard of such an iPhoto Bug.
    I have used every version of iPhoto I have seen including the current new version: iPhoto '11 version 9.5 (902.7).  You can find the version you are using by executing the iPhoto > About iPhoto menu command and post it back here.
    debbie5891 wrote:... Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? ...
    I am not aware of any Apple apps that work specifically on photo files.  If you know the pathname to the lost files, and if you are comfortable with Unix commands, you might be able to use your Mac's Terminal utility to retrieve at least some of your images.  However, it will be MUCH simpler to merely download another copy from your camera.
    You can search the Mac App Store for "unerase" to find several apps that can unerase files, including deleted photo files, in certain circumstances even after the trash has been emptied.  To determine whether one or more of them may meet your needs, see their product info and reviews for specifics about each one.
    debbie5891 wrote:...Thank you.
    You're most welcome.
    If you need to post back for more information, please provide specifics on your Mac OS, iPhoto version, which of the suggestions offered here you have tried, and any details not already provided about the problem status.

  • Choose File Form Data Create Spreasheet From Data Files

    I am following the tutorial for LC 8 and when I get to the topic titled "Collecting the data in a spreadsheet" it says to "Choose File > Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files".
    However, when I try to follow that path I do not see a "Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files" menu option.
    What am I not doing properly? How do I accomplish this task?
    Thanks!

    Thank you so much Paul. I have been trying all day to locate the method by which I could create a spreadsheet using the pdf submit route. I suppose the tutorial in CS4 should have been changed to reflect the changed explanations, but I guess that would be difficult to do. Anyway it worked and I can now do the analysis I need from my customers (lots of pupils!).

  • Free application for cleaning files on a mac

    Can someone please tell me the name of the free i application for cleaning files on a mac that is highly rated?

    So far all of the supposed "cleaning" applications I have tested are basically worthless. They either don't do half of what they claim they will do or they do dangerous things and don't even tell you they are doing them. Make suggestion is to avoid anything that claims it is going to "clean things" up for you.
    I would recommend that you use OmniDiskSweeper. It will tell you the folders and files that are using the most space on you disk drive. With that knowledge you can then decide what can be deleted or moved.

  • Looking for Windows files on a Mac

    On my Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.4 Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR 3 when starting a existing project I get a message about a file the program is not able to load.
    So it asks me to point the location. The question is as follows: Where is the file 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiers Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?
    I'm using a Mac and when I search for the file it's not on my computer.
    It's looking for a file in a curtain folder.
    Could you give an advise what to do?

    Hello A.T. Romano,
    I’m using Adobe Premiere Elements 12
    Version 12.1 (20140225.12.1.620828)
    I get the message when opening an already made project in which I added a Title.
    In the ones without a title I don’t get the message.
    So it is something connected to the use of titles.
    I used RedBulbs as a title.
    When I click ‚Skip’ or Offline my project opens correctly and I don’t miss any media. Even the title part is OK.
    I hope this describes the problem enough and hopefully you can give me some advise.
    Best regards,
    Rob de Ridder

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on your Mac computer?
    Do you ever get this
    Where is the file 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiers Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?
    when you open a new project or do you get this message only when you go to open an existing project?
    If only for existing projects, then please tell us if this existing project was created with title templates and/or Instant Movie themes.
    If so please detail.
    If you click "Skip" to the "Where is the file....?" message, does your project open without problem? And if so, do you see any missing media
    displays in the workspace? And if so where?
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Help required to understand the concepts for data files in tablespace

    Hi Guys!
    Conceptual understanding for data files.
    A tablespace is having 2 datafiles.
    What once the data files will get full? I know we can create data files but what if there is no space on the server for any additional file to be created?
    Do we require to make the oldest file offline and move outside the environment?
    Thanks

    ThanksIf the datafiles are full, there is not much that you would get from the "defragmentation" of the datafiles. It would be sort of like this in the start,
    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
    Then it will be ,
    FFFFFFFUUUUUFFFFFUUUUUU
    So what you are going to get is something like this, (if would be done),
    FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU
    So that's how the datafile would like. But that won't give you much of the space anyways still. The option to add a storage must be there with you. The file being offline wont take away the space that it has already allocated. And moreover, doing so, would also impact the access to the data that it would be storing within it.

  • Change default app for DAT files as the su

    Hey
    I do a lot of work in the terminal and it's sometimes convenient to be "su" permanentely instead of login in and out of the root account. The problem is whenever I try to open a DAT file, it tries to open it with, of all the apps in my Mac, HP Photosmart or something like that -.-
    I've done the "cmd+i -> change all" several times now and it only worked for the non-root user...
    Does anyone know how to change the deafult app for DAT files as the su (maybe the command line(s) for doing so)??
    It's not like it's a life or death thing, it's just that it's a bit annoying having to constantly write "-a Microsoft\ Excel" whenever I want to open such a file (which can be several dozens of times in an afternoon and since the names of the files may change it won't suffice to 'arrow up' to the line previously used =\)
    Much appreciated

    I'll try that, thanks
    I sometimes need it 'cause of permission issues of the files...
    (E.g.,  Some file is sent to me or I'm logged as su to install something using ports and compile/run programs and the output files generated are only readable/editable as su... As I said, it's not a life/death thing, just wanted to know if anyone knew how to fix it once and for all )
    I'll post the result as soon as I've tried the proposed solution

  • Scripting: browse for data files in a folder and all subfolders below

    Hello,
    i'm looking for a command to search for data files (*.dat) in a folder and all subfolders below.
    I checked out command DirListGet. This command only search in the declared folder and not in the subfolders below.
    Anyone an idea?
    I don't want to use a loop-structure for finding subfolders and browse for the data files.
    Mr. Buddy

    dim result : result = DirListGet("C:\tmp", "*.dat", "filename", "FullFilenamesRecursive")
    dim fl : for each fl in result

    Works fine for me and even recursive.
    Alternatively but with mucg more effort and the same result.

  • Create folders for other users

    I have a process that automatically generates folders based on events in the database using Advanced Queues. This process will work if I am creating folders for the user I am currently connected as.
    What I can't seem to do is use the system admin account to create folders in other users home folders. I get insufficient privilege errors when I use findPublicObject to return the users home directory. This seems to happen because the users home folder has a private ACL, it works if I make the home folder public but I don't really want to do that.
    Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Sure, here are two suggestions.
    1. If you want to create the folders in response to the AQ messages, and you want to do so independently of your application's normal security policies, you can use the system admin user to perform the operations, as long as you enable administration mode. Use LibrarySession.setAdministrationMode(true) to do this. Security will be bypassed until you turn this mode off.
    2. If you want to make the changes within the concept of your application security model, then modify the model so that your system admin user has access to everything that it needs to be able to update or delete. You can do this by modifying the ACLs on the objects in question.

  • How do I create folders for variuos apps i.e health, news etc.

    How do I create folders for variuos apps i.e health, news, sports etc.

    Tap and hold down on an app con until it begins to "wiggle", then drag one app icon on top of another app icon to create the folder. Move as many apps as you like into that folder. When you are done, tap the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
    You can also name the folder whatever you want to in the white text field that will pop up when the folder is created.

  • Unable to create folders for apps on springboard

    I was successful at creating folders for one of my sons on his Ipod Touch, but my other son's Ipod won't allow me to do it. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on or off or what? With my sucessful situation, I simply held my finger on one of the apps on the springboard until they all got wiggly, and, therefore, moveable. I drag one app on top of another and was able to create a folder for the 2 (i.e., zombie games). I did the same thing on my other son's Ipod and the apps would not go on top of each other, would simply replace each other in the order they were on the springboard. I hope someone can help...

  • Creating a flat .zip file on a MAC

    Can someone please tell me how to create a flat zip file using my MAC. I control-click the files and choose compress and it puts them in a folder. Basically, I want to know how to select many photos and compress all of them into a zip file but then when one clicks on the zip file to open it it DOES NOT open another folder with the pictures in them, but rather just opens the pictures. PowerSchool only accepts flat zips.
    Thanks!

    You might try using a different utility. Or download the utility iTweaX - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. Open and click on the Misc tab of the Tweaks menubar item. At the bottom click on the button labeled "Archives." This will install a new System Preferences item from which you can alter the behavior of the built-in Zip utility.
