.ds store file

I've noticed recently that I've got a file on my desktop named ".ds store", and it's a file that I cannot throw away because it keeps replicating itself whenever I move it to the trash. I've also noticed that there is also a ".ds store" file in every folder that I open up.
I think that because of the "." before the file name it is supposed to be a hidden file, so why am I seeing it?

Yes, .DS_Store files are invisible files that keep information about the opened window for that directory or folder such as window size and position. Each change is recorded in the invisible file so the OS can restore the window as it was the last time the directory was visited.
If you delete them nothing bad happens except your saved window information. The OS will recreate the files automatically.
I assume you may be seeing them because you have enabled the display of invisible files in the folder. If so try this:
Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

How do i use my time capsule as a network to store files, etc.?

How do i use my time capsule as a network to store files, etc.?

There is no difference in setup..
Only trouble.. be warned this is quite problematic. With Mavericks even more so.
See Q3 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Take particular note. The TC is not a NAS or file server.. it can be pressed into use as one.. but will suffer..
1. Slow spin up of the disk and fast spin down. Causing streaming and library issues with itunes.
2. iphoto is easily corrupted.. don't move it to a network drive at all.
3. no backup.. the TC cannot back itself up.. it is designed as a backup target for Time Machine. but Time Machine cannot backup network drives.. and nor did apple build in a backup.. it was never needed. After all it is a backup.. not a file store.
4. you cannot partition it. You will have issues with TM if you do store both data and TM backups on it.
5. You can use USB drive plugged into the TC, and experience a new definition of pain and suffering.. well slow file transfer anyway.
Good luck.

How to store file in Application server.

Hi all,
I have done a report where using excel sheet data i hv to insert in ztable. I have done it i hav converted excel sheet data into internal table and then inserted into ztable. It is working properly. using p_file like rlgraph-filename i have taken the parameter and function module filename_f4 uploaed file.
Now i when i am runing the report it is inserting properly in foreground. But i have requirement that i have to run the report in background but it is giving error in background. So what i do is the excel sheet which i take as input should be stored in Application server and then i have to pick up the file from application server during the background process. So any body can tell me how to write the program to store file in application server and pickup that file again to run it in background.

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?

It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things. By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files. I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule. The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac. That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.
By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject. In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

Using Time Capsule to store Files

Can I partition Time Capsule to use like a hardrive to store files such as photos and media, or does Time Capsule just function as a backup drive?

How would I go about this?
Once the connection to the Time Capsule is established, look for its icon in the My Computer window and use it as if it was a regular drive. You may need to use the AirPort software for it to show up; this is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder.

How do I remove an entry from the "Store Files" drop down list in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2

The dropdown list "Store Files" in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2 displays the history of the entries previously added to the list. Some of the entries are no longer valid and I'm trying to delete them but I can't find a way to do this. This is a screenshot. Does anyone know how to do this?

Once again - the Jive system ate my bullet points and messed up the formatting
Is the MacOS X version in your signature correct? Then you cannot be using Aperture 3.3.2?
You should not be seeing duplicate entries in the "Store Files" pop-up menu. This looks like your Aperture Preferences file is corrupted and needs fixing.
Quit Aperture (and log off and on again, if you are running MacOS X 10.7 or later)
Then reveal your User Library (from the Finder's main menu bar, the "Go" menu. Hold down the options-key until the library apears in the drop-down menu)
In the Library folder select the "Preferences folder and locate the file "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist"
Now you can either
remove the com.apple.Aperture.plist file to the Desktop, to force Aperture to create a new one, but you will have to set again your Preferences from the "Preferences" panel,
or make a backup copy of the file and edit it, if you are an experienced programmer and have Xcode installed. To fix the drop-down list you need to edit the item "RecentReferenceFolders" and delete the redundant folder names. Enter "recent" into the search field to find it quickly. If you click an item in the list, plus/minus buttons should appear. But only try this, if you know how to edit property lists, otherwise it will be much safer to delete the faulty list and to set your preferences again from the "Preferences" panel.

i went ahead and checkd the file and the privs on the file they look correct -rw-r--r-- ...but when i just restart it ..it starts with no errors the next time......What could be the issue.....please help
Then only reason i could think of is the size of the file is 35MB now...is this the problem....if yes....is there a way to automaticaly rotate this file ....

The root cause appears to be right in the stack trace:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Error from fcntl() for file locking, Resource temporarily unavailable, errno=11I think this indicates that either the file was either locked (because another instance of WebLogic had it opened), or that the file was unavailable for some reason. WebLogic locks files as a safety precaution to prevent misconfigured setups (multiple domains sharing the same directory and store name) from attempting to share the same file.
I don't think that this message necessarily means there is a file corruption.
As for rotation, the file store automatically adds new files as needed (I think its 1 file for every 2GB of data). The "diagnostics" file store is generated by the optional diagnostics feature, and I think that this feature has options for controlling the amount of stored data.

If I store files in the TimeCapsule's own HD, will i be able to use time machine to back those files up also? (specifically can i store/run my iPhoto library from TC and then have Time machine also make/include a backup up of the iPhoto library?)

I curretly use my iphoto library from an large external HD (2 tb) and then have time machine back it up to my airport extreme (which has an external HD attached, 500gb ) Long story short... I am running out of storage space on the 'large external hd 2tb'. however, I still have space on the HD (500gb) that is attached to my airport extreme.
My question is,
1. If i move my iphoto library over to the HD attached to my airport extreme, Is there a way for Time Machine to also back this up.
2. same question only applied differentliy = If i purchase a Time Capsule. and store files on its HD. (specifically an iPhoto library) would time machine create backups of this 'locally' stored data on its own TC HD?
TC = time Capsule
HD = hard drive
TM = Time machien

1. If i move my iphoto library over to the HD attached to my airport extreme, Is there a way for Time Machine to also back this up.
Sorry, but no. Time Machine cannot backup from network drives.

Again, sorry, but no. Same reason. The TC's internal HDD is treated as a network drive.

The File "(file name)" is an iTunes Store File and can't be burned to MP3cd

I am using the most recent updates to OS 10.4.8 and iTunes 7. I am getting this error stating that iTunes Store Files, which are also protected AAC files, can neither be burned to MP3 CD or converted into MP3 files. I also tried using Roxio Toast, most recent version, which converts the files to QuickTime AIFF files, which will not even play in QuickTime. I did not have this problem with older versions of iTunes. It is only songs purchased from iTunes Store that have this problem.
Any suggestions?

Which version of Toast 6 are you using? Roxio made the change with the 6.1 update to "fix" Toast to no longer burn purchased iTMS content.
http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/toast/version_history6.html
"Following discussions with Apple, this version will no longer allow customers to create audio CDs, audio DVDs, or export audio to their hard drive using purchased iTunes music store content."
If your CD version is previous to 6.1 and you updated it after the fact, you could try deleting it and reinstalling it and this time NOT updating it and see if you can now burn the iTMS songs.

How to store files in shared-folder in background mode

Hello All,
My requirement seems to be simple but I have tried many ways in achieving this, but failed. So require the help in accomplishing this task.
Requirement
I have to create a program in SE38 which will create a internal table with data in it in .XML format(which I can achieve).
My requirement is this .XML file needs to be placed in a shared-folder in "BACKGROUND MODE".
I have tried using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module, but this FM only runs in Foreground mode and fails in Background mode. I have tried convincing my client that I will keep the file in Application Server as it is achievable using OPEN DATASET statements, but they are not willing to accept this.
So can you please help me in achieving this task as I am not getting any solution how to keep the file in Shared-folder in BACKGROUND mode itself(not Foreground).
Best Regards,
Tousif

How to store files in the cloud??

I just signed up to photoshop CC. How do I store files in the cloud?

Yes, finally, thank you.
I must say, this whole CC thing is opaque as far as learning something specific. The FAQ experience leads into a maze of irrelevant paths when you (rather, I) want somethin specific. I don't even know how to actually get into this forum -- I stumbled into it te first time, and the second, and now this time -- although your answer to my first question finally led me to set up the CC folder.
I hope things get easier from here. Having said that, I have to admit I don't know how to sign up to Behance. When I go there I have to sign in but I'm not given a place to Sign UP. Sigh. Maybe you can help me out again.
