Different File Name in Finder vs. File Name in Console?

I'm trying to rename the Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.
As root, I use mv in Console. I do ls and it shows me the new name.
Finder couldn't care less. Finder keeps showing "Internet Plug-Ins".
I could see OSX not letting me change the name of an "essential" system folder in the first place -- but how could Unix be showing me a different name than the Finder?

Oh just ignore me -- I wasn't typing sudo every time...

Type in file location in Finder or file selector windows

Is there any way I can get a text field, preferrably with filename completion, where I can simply type in the location of a file or folder? In the Finder or file selector dialog, that is?
Yeah, a directory GUI is nice, but in some cases it is actually faster to write the name than to track down and click through a chain of folder icons. I mean, while still using the GUI - not doing everything in the shell. And just being able to see the path to the directory you're looking at may be useful, too...

Whoops. Somehow I forgot about Go->Go To Folder, and overlooked it when trying to find it, when I wanted to do this for the first time in a while. How embarassing...
This interface is of course also available in the file selector via the normal shortcut (ShiftOptionG)
Even "more direct" access to folder location would sometimes be nice, though...

Can't find domain file, Can't find domain file

I am running OS 10.6.8 with iWeb 3.0.4 (601)
I've been using iweb and backing up my domain file (library - application support...etc) without a problem but I can't seem to find that file anymore.
My website is there working and uploading no problem, but I've been searching and searching and can't find the domain file.
I do use time machine for backups, I do manual back up to time capsule as a "better safe than sorry" attitude, I am not sure if the time machine hidden my file somewhere different... ?
Does anyone have an idea where did my file go? Or can someone tell me how do I restore my file using time machine?
I don't want to erase my drive and upgrade my OS to Lion before I am sure I can restore my iweb. I would hate to lose my website
Thanks!

Download and use Find Any File to search for the domain file. It can search areas that Spotlight, even packages and invisible folders.

File adapter cannot find MFL file

I have installed BEA's file adapter and created a WLI
application view. I have also set up an MFL file for
translating a CSV file into an XML file. However, when
I go to test the service I get the following error.
I'm having a hard time finding any documentation that
will tell me where to place the flatFileFinancials.mfl
so the adapter can perform the transformation.
java.lang.Exception: Adapter took exception: <eda><error cnctag="" code="-100"

Exception.
Unable to locate document: wlxt://mfl/flatFileFinancials
Thank you for any help you can provide.

I did end up finding one way to make it work. I ended up using the Format Builder
tool that resides in windows under BEA Weblogic Platform 7.0 => Weblogic Integration
7.0 => Format Builder. From here I went to the Repository menu and pressed ‘Log
In’. Then from the Repository menu I pressed ‘Store As’. Now, here is the key
point. Next I created an ‘mfl’ folder under the root of the repository. Then
I stored my flatFileFinancials in that folder.
This approach works fine. Althought I would still like to see some documentation
to help me configure the adapter to look for the file in some other location.

All of my iMovie projects disappeared after loading Mavericks. The updated version of iMovie shows no files and cannot find any files to Import. My machine, a beefed up Mac Mini, has slowed to a crawl. Suggestions?

My Mac Mini takes forever to load programs now. After loading Mavericks it seems like I am back in PC World again!! My biggest concern is ALL of my iMovie projects seem to have vanished. I do not have sound on some web sites like YouTube. I lost the option to mirror from the Mac to the TV but I was able to solve that. Any suggestions on recovery of files? I do not use TimeMachine and did not back up anything before the Mavericks installation. I know...that's bad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Publish app with sdf file: App cant find sdf file on startup

I tried different Connection Strings:

string SqlCeConnectionString = "Data Source=.\\MyDB.sdf;Persist Security Info=False;";
string SqlCeConnectionString = "Data Source=|DataDirectory|\\MyDB.sdf";
nothing works.
the setup installs the exe in

File browser to find large files?

I am looking for a program or file browser in order to locate large folders,files,etc on my hard drive. There is a program I have used in windows called ExplorerXP and there are many like it in the windows world. My available free disk space isn't adding up to me so I would like to see where it is being allocated.
Thanks!

Try WhatSize.

On every URL link in Microsoft Outlook I get the message that "The system cannot find the file specified." Then it proceeds to open it AFTER I close the error message. I just updated Firefox a few days ago and it began then and continues.

It shouldn't take any more detail than this. This is what happens every time:
"Generald failure: The URL was 'http: //link.washingtonpost.com/r.....' The file system cannot find the file specified."
'''EVERY URL'''

Can I copy certain aperture library files from the finder?

Hello,
I have an older library, that I updated to the current Aperture, and recently froze from bad media. I think it was a bunch of videos in one of the events. Anyways, I want to copy some of the photos from a event in the old library to a new working library. Can I do this from finder? I tried exporting and it froze, leaving the photo export in some limbo state...

Do you also have iPhoto 9.5.1? If you open your Aperture library in iPhoto you can use "File > Reveal in FInder > Original File" to show you the original image file inside the library. Then you can copy it easily to a new location.
If you do not have iPhoto, you can reveal the original photos by ctrl-clicking the Aperture library and using the command "Show Package Contents". Your images are in the Masters folder, organized by the year, month, day of importing them.
But be careful, when browsing these folders. Only copy, don't move.

ITunes can't find my files

iTunes was running fine the last time I used it (a few days ago) but today it can't find any of my files.
All my playlists and songs are listed in my library, but when i double-click on them it says something about how "the song can't be used because iTunes can't find the original file." It then asks if i want to to locate the file, and if i say yes it pops up a browser dialog that points to the correct folder for the file but the file list is empty. Here's the weird part: if i visit the file in Windows Explorer, the file is right where it should be. Riddle me that, Batman.
sometimes, however, if i use "locate the file" i can find the file in the folder and point to it and it works.
But my big questions is this: why has iTunes suddenly lost the location of all my files? and how can "locate" them all without doing it one by one? i have thousands of songs...
I restarted iTunes, checked the library it was pointing to...nothing. i can't think of anything else to do.
Windows 7, 64bit, Dell XPS Studio. iTunes 11.3.1.2
Ideas?

Find configuration files

Hi,
How to find what are the configuration files needed for default executables in Linux? Is it possible to find it?
For Example : xhost which has some configuration files.how to find those files by simple way?.
I am not good in OS level.
Thanks & Regards,
VN

Most system wide system and software program settings are stored in /etc and sub-directories. User specific settings are generally located in $HOME. You can use the "ls -a" command to show hidden files and directories that start with a period (.). The man page for a command will also typically show where the settings are stored, .e.g. "man xhost". Btw, the xhost program is obsolete and should not be used anymore.

Bridge file number vs. camera's file number

I've gone through everything I can think of on Bridge CC and the tutorials and I'm still stumped.
My current camera (Olympus OM-D) file number is 4126 but when I open it in Bridge the file number is 3129. I've tried everything I can think of in Bridge file renaming, but can't seem to either change the file # or eliminate it. It's a problem because I've always used the date+camera file number to find archived files. I'm willing to change to fit into Bridge, but...
Questions: is Bridge using a sequential numbering system that is unique to Bridge? And if so, can I change it to be consistent with the camera sequential file number?

Good day everyone,
To khcole,
Please check your memory card and verify if the old pictures and new ones are on the same folder (eg. 100MSDCF, 101MSDCF) under [DCIM] folder. Both folders will start the numbering sequence at DSC-00001, to start at DSC-05208 make sure that the folder will contain images which will fill out the sequence upto DSC-05207 otherwise that camera will fill those empty slots until it uses the DSC-05208 onwards.
To grosenfeld,
As both file using the same file name and extension cannot co-exist under the same folder, one needs to be saved on different folder. Using an image viewing software such as the Playmemories Home (PMH), you'll be able to view both pictures and you should be able to see when the images are taken, imported, modified or what camera was used for a particular image under PMH's filters or the properties of the pictures.
2 things can happen if you try importing a picture that has the same file name and extension as the existing image on a destination folder.
1. The original file could be replaced by the new one intentionally/unintentionally.
2. The new picture will be saved with (#) between the file name and extension (eg. DSC-00001(2).jpg) as the computer will recognize these files as duplicates even if it isn't.

Trying to write an Automator program to find files with same time created and change file names to matching source folder names

I am failrly green when it comes to automator.
I am trying to write an Automator program:
Not sure where to post this
trying to write an Automator program to find files and alter their names
I have a source folder with correct named master files in it.
eg. A0001_1234.mpeg
time created 14:02:03
date 07/07/2012
Another folder where there will be copies of the master files in a different format with different names but created at the same time as a file in the source directory.
they are created with a seperate device but they are
A0000001.mp4
time created 14:02:03
date 07/07/2012
I need it to then take the name from the source fies and apply the correct name to the matching file based on the time it was created.
I can't seem to find actions in automator that reference time crated.
Is this something I will be able to Do in automator?
Any help would be great
Thanks
R

Hi,
It's impossible to do this without any script in Automator.
Use this AppleScript script :
set source to choose folder with prompt "Select the source folder"
set anotherfolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose the another folder"
tell application "Finder"
    repeat with tfile in (get files of source)
        set cDate to creation date of tfile
        set findFiles to (files of anotherfolder whose creation date is cDate)
        if findFiles is not {} then
            set tName to name of tfile
            set name of item 1 of findFiles to tName
        end if
    end repeat
end tell

Finding the file name with Regular Expression

Hello All,
I am having some requirment to find the file name for the input provided parameter.
In my program i am having an input parameter for file name. This contains both the file name and file stored location.
Example : C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\xs234fs\Desktop\TEST_123_44.txt
From the above example string i need to find only the file name that is TEST_123_44.txt by using Regular expression.
Please let me know how to get this.
Thank you ver much in advance.
Thanks,
Feroz.

Hello,
If you have attached an F4 help to the filename input param, in that you can use the FM: GUI_FILE_SAVE_DIALOG.
In this there is a return param FILENAME which contains the name of the file.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FILE.
      CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_FILE_SAVE_DIALOG'
       EXPORTING
         window_title            = TEXT-001
         default_extension       = p_extens
         default_file_name       = ls_deffile
         initial_directory       = ls_initdet
       IMPORTING
         filename                = ls_filename "This contains the filemame
         path                    = ls_path
         fullpath                = ls_fullpath
         user_action             = ls_usaction.
Else if you have hardcoded the filename in the input field you can use rthe FM: PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME to split the filenames into different components

Can not change file names in finder

Several times over the past week I have not been able to change existing file names in Finder. The mouse moves normally and can highlight the name, but the keyboard instructions, including "delete" or typing, does not result in any response. All other programs continue to function normally.
Restarting the computer solved the issue for a while, but it happened again.
Reading over the previous posts, none of them apply (I do not have those programs).
Any idea why this happens and how do I fix it?

This same thing happens occasionally (or maybe rarely is a better word) for different users here at my work.
I haven't had the problem myself, and thought it was gone now when everyone is running Mac OS 10.4.7 (we ran 10.4.5 just recently) but a user just got the problem 5 minutes ago. All apps except Finder respond to keystrokes.
Relaunching the Finder using "Force Quit..." from the Apple solves it, but I guess sooner or later the problem will come back.
Would be great to know what's causing it.
