CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names
Mac OS 10.5.8 Before upgrading from CS3 to CS5, I could open a folder of files, select one file, highlight the file name and copy it. I could then work on an image in CS3 and when ready, Save As. With the current name of the image highlighted, I could then paste in the name I had copied from the file in the folder. I can no longer do this with CS5. Any idea why I can't?
The only time I see this is when I'm having issues with Finder. Since the "copy" part is done in Finder and the "paste" is done from the Finder clipboard, It would appear to be that something in Finder is not putting the file name onto the clipboard.
I can do what you describe with no trouble, in CS5, but on Snow Leopard.
I've had similar troubles in Finder and with Office apps as well, when renaming files from the clipboard. Usually a quick relaunch of Finder cures it. If it doesn't, a reboot will.

Copy&paste file names when bouncing
too bad, after upgrading to 7.1.0 it is still impossible to copy&paste file names when bouncing, as was no problem in LP6! That´s very time consuming for me, because for film music I usually have long file names that contain smpte codes. Does anybody have a shortcut?
Hi Orbanl, I was going to post this myself and then found your post so will add to it.
'It used to be in Logic Pro 6 that normal copy/paste worked in the 'name' field of the save and bounce windows (even kept them seperate as far as clipboards went). Now, in Logic 7.1 the only way I can initiate a copy or paste when saving the song or naming the bounce is a right mouse click (cntrl-click)? to bring up these options. Are there no key commands for the navigation services anymore? This is a huge time killer for me as I often save 60~100 files with the same root name and was able to quickly initiate and save/bounce without stopping to pick up the mouse (now I have to switch back and forth between the keyboard and mouse to initiate, name copy+paste and modify name). Thanks in advance.'
Over at the Logic Pro Forum, Peter suggested in response to this post that the Pro App Support update v3 might have something to do with it as his Logic 10.3.9 DOES support normal copy/paste commands! Unfortunately I am running 10.3.8 and the Pro App update v3 specically notes 10.3.9 as its requirement. The only reason I have not upgraded to 10.3.9 is I use a lot of esoteric shareware music software and I understand 10.3.9 had some 'sprinkling' of Tiger in it that at least for several friends of mine broke older app's that were running fine in 10.3.8.
Here is the link if you are running 10.3.9.

I began using the migration assistant. It downloaded fine on my PC, and I was able to follow the steps on the apple website, but it will not let me continue past selecting which items to migrate on my Mac. However, if I try to exit out of the window it says migration in progress do not close. There is not a bar to measure the progress of the migration on either the PC or Mac like the instructions say there will be.
Information. The 2nd link may be the Apple article you referred to.

Sqlldr does not understand unicode characters in file names
Hello,
I am trying to call sqlldr from a .net application on Windows to bulk load some data. The parameter, control, data, log files used by sqlldr, are all located in the C:\Configuración directory (note the unicode character in the directory name).
Here is my parfile:
control='C:\Configuración\SystemResource.ctl'
direct=true
errors=0
log='C:\Configuración\SystemResource.log'
userid=scott/tiger@orasrv
When I make a call as
sqlldr -parfile='C:\Configuración\SystemResource.par'I am getting
SQL*Loader-100: Syntax error on command-line
If I run it as
sqlldr -parfile='C:\Config~1\SystemResource.par'I am getting
SQL*Loader-522: lfiopn failed for file (C:\Configuraci├│n\SystemResource.log)
If I remove the log= parameter from the parameter file, I am getting
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (C:\Configuraci├│n\SystemResource.ctl)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specified.
Can anyone suggest a way to handle unicode/extended ASCII characters in file names?
Thanks,
Alex.Werner, thank you for replying to my post.
In my real application, I actually store the files in %TEMP%, which on Spanish and Portuguese Windows has "special" characters (e.g. '...\Administrador\Configuración local\Temp\'). In addition, you can have a user with the "special" characters in the name which will become part of %TEMP%.
Another problem is that 8.3 name creation may be disabled on NTFS partitions.
Problem #3 is that the short file names that have "special" characters are not converted correctly by GetShortPathName windows API, e.g. "Configuración" will be converted to "Config~1", but for "C:\ración.txt" the api will return the same "C:\ración.txt", even though dir /x displays "RACIN~1.TXT". Since I am creating the parameter and control files programmatically from a .net application, I have to PInvoke GetShortPathName.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Alex. -
"File Not Found" on copy/paste files!
I had one big "real instrument" file that I decided to split into several smaller files. To do this, I would copy a section, paste it into a new file I had created, saved the new file, and then delete the original.
Now, when I try to open them, only a few will actually play. The others say "Audio File 'Recording#04.aif' not found,'" the Recording# varying with the tracks. It gives me the option to either "skip" or "search," the latter leading to a message that says the same thing, only this time with an exclamation point at the end. I then click "continue," which brings me to the file with a purple track section the same length as the music that used to be there, only now saying "file not found" and without any music on it.
Is there any way to retrieve these files?? It happens with 7 of the 10 files I did this with.I dont have the latest version of GB. I have whatever version is on a 2010 macbook pro.
That would be some version of GarageBand '11, but did you ever run Software update, to be sure to have the latest GarageBand '11 version compatible with your 2010 MacBook? You can check the version number of any Mac application from the "About" panel. In the main menu bar click the name of the application in the upper left corner of the screen and select the menu entry "About ...". This will show the version number.
GB doesnt crash....the files just seem to go missing.
How much free disk space do you have? Running out of disk space could explain what you are seeing.
Do you have the latest driver for your audio interface installed?
Check the manufacturer's page: http://tascam.com/product/us-144mkii/downloads/
I can find crash logs....but the tracks are useless....i cant edit them or anything.
Do you mean you found the audio files in the "Media" folder, when you open the package? Then try to copy the audio files out of the package, and drag the copy back to the guitar track. Do they play?
Should i upgrade to the latest operating system and the latest version of gb??? Any help would be very much appreciated. 2010 macbook pro.
Upgrading to a different system and the newest GarageBand 10 will not help, if we do not know, what is causing the problems on your Mac. Run software update to make sure,you are running the latest update of your current GarageBand version. -
Have changed password. Still can't download as it will not let me get past the Name/password screen.
I have gone through all of the hoops to download the latest Adobe Flash, but can't do it.
I have gotten the emails. Changed my password, but still can't download.
My name comes up when I go to open to install, but maybe that is incorrect.
However, I have worked on this for over an hour now and am ready to quit as I follow the directions and still can't download.
Very frustrating as I just want to contact somebody who can help me. Thanks.You might want to check if it is your computer security requesting your system password and nothing of Adobe.
There is not normally any requirement to provide a password when installing Adobe software. Can you explain what you are trying to download (Flash Pro or Flash Player) and other details. There are normally no emails involved either so your mention of that is a wonder as well. Why you say your name comes up when you go to install is also a wonder since you say you are unable to download. -
I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?
No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

Is there a way to move (not copy/paste) files between HDs w/out command?
I use external HDs a lot, so I move files from the Mac HD to to these external HDS but I always have to delete the source file after the copy/paste process is done I know I can push the command key and move them but I use my mouse more then anything and I would like to not use the command key. I've tried to use automator but for some reason the action quits working after while so I need to redo it-which gets annoying, but so does having to constantly copy/paste everything. So is there a way to achieve move with out copy/paste and automator? If there is, could let me know what that little delightful technique is?
I use the following 3rd party cut/paste apps - CopyPaste Pro & iClip. Both you can use either the mouse or key commands.

Aperture ate my picture files and they are not recoverable. The guy at the Genius Bar told me to Trash the App, empty Trash, then go to Purchases and reinstall. But Purchases says it is "Installed" so it does not let me download it again. HELP!!!!
I typed Aperture into Spotlight and sure enough it did show up.
It looks like it is supposed to be in Apps.
But it is not there.
So I clicked on the spotlight Aperture and it opened up the App!!!!
But I do not know where it is to move it!
How can I find it?
While Aperture is running and you are seeing it in the Dock, ctrl-click (or right click) the Dock icon.
You will see a contextual menu. Click on "Options", then select "Show in Finder".
And check the "keep in Dock" mark, so you will not lose it from the Dock. -

My win8 pc hard drive failed. After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used). ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help! The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection. I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that. Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes? Thanks!!
This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

every new released update of Lr from v 5.2 changed somethin in my Windows 7 Professional settings. I am stucked. Can somebody help me please? Many thanks. AndrejHi Jim,

I bought Lr5 only because I got present - my new camera Cannon 70D and because my older Photoshop CS5.5 raw plugin does not recognize. cr2 files.
Many thanks for your help.

Sum Encrypt does not recognize a copy of a file through linux to Mac 0S9. How decrypt this file with Sum Encrypt?
Hello, and welcome to Apple Support Communities!
I am not familiar with the program that you list, however files in OS 9 use things called Resource Forks (rather than file extensions) for filetype and creator.
If you sent a file through Linux these resource forks probably got stripped and now the file is nothing to your Macintosh.
It is best to BinHex your files (.hqx) before leaving the HFS file system so that their resource forks are preserved.

When I right click on an image to do a save as it does not let me save the image as a jpeg, all that is in the drop down menu is "all files" which saves it as a bunch of numbers and letters etc. It save it as an aspx file.
Try to add the .jpg file extension yourself if Firefox doesn't do that when you save an image file.<br />
If you've already saved images with a wrong file extension then rename them and add a .jpg file extension. Check the Properties of the file via the right-click context menu to see if that has worked.
