Editing .ics files with BBEdit

I'd like to change a name that exists on all my calendars in iCal, but cannot see how to do this.
The 1st problem is that Find .ics files doesn't find all of my calendars - tho' some do show up in username->Library->Application Support->SyncService->Backup Data->Calendars (and LastSync data>Calendars).
The 2nd problem is: I quit iCal then open an .ics file with BBEdit and do Search & Replace - it finds a number of occurrences and reports them changed. I close the BBEdit file and relaunch iCal, but the new name doesn't appear.
Any help gratefully received.

Gillylal Fordham-Lear,
I'd like to change a name that exists on all my calendars in iCal, but cannot see how to do this.
Why are you not using the iCal user interface to accomplish your objectives?
Attempting to modify files or or using the OS X file structure to make changes to the user interface is problematical at best, and destructive to your files at worst.
Data which appears to have been changed successfully will revert to the previous state because the old information remains in a cache.

Edit pdf files with surface touch

how do i edit pdf files with surface win

Adobe Reader products (Reader XI desktop, Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, Reader Touch for Windows 8, etc.) are free and mainly focused on PDF viewing capabilities.
If you actually want to modify text or images in PDF or create PDFs from Word or Excel files, etc., you need Acrobat XI Pro or Standard (paid product).
The following page shows the product comparison for Acrobat/Reader XI for desktop.
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
If you have a Surface Pro (running the Windows 8 operating system), you can run Acrobat XI Pro or Standard in the desktop environment for editing PDFs. However, if you have a Surface RT (running the Windows RT operating system), you are not able to run any of the Acrobat desktop products (including Reader XI) because they are not compatible with the Windows RT operating system.

How to open and edit "*.txt" file with "Notepad"

Hello guys!
I'm facing problem with SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and got no clue how to solve it.
What I want to do is to open "*.txt" (which is placed to "Documents Library") in "Notepad", so I could edit it and save (publish) directly to SharePoint from "Notepad".
If I upload any Microsoft office File, such as "*.docx", "*.xls", etc - it works as it should - document opens in appropriate application and everybody is happy.
But, when I create documents library, put some "*.txt" file there and click on it - it opens in new browser's tab as text, so I cannot edit the file.
What I tried to do is to activate feature "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" - not happy.
Edit "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML\DOCICON.XML" - I've modified "txt" entry as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DocIcons>
    <ByProgID>
    </ByProgID>
    <ByExtension>
<Mapping Key="txt" Value="ictxt.gif" EditText="Notepad" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
    </ByExtension>
    <Default>
        <Mapping Value="icgen.gif"/>
    </Default>
</DocIcons>
Still not happy.
So, how do I make this stuff work?

Found this link which has more information on this scenario:

Editing iMovie files with Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows

Hi,
My 12 year old asked for Final Cut Pro for Christmas to edit movies he takes on his iPod touch and iPad. However, he has a Windows-based desktop. As I understand it, Final Cut Pro is not a Windows-based program. I thought we could get him Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows, but will he be able to manipulate his iMovie files easily? I have no idea what format the iMovie files are. Will he be able to download them to his Windows desktop, edit his movie, and then upload back to his Apple devices? Thanks!

Bottom line: Making distinction between video editor project files and formats of exports.
Details...
The iPod touch and iPad typically offer video files H.264.mov or H.264.mp4 formats. This is not a Mac versus Windows matter because we are talking exports (.mov and .mp4) not project files from a video editing project.
He should be able to take his iPod or iPad device videos and edit them in Premiere Elements. And, then he should be able to return them to his device(s).
But, many of these devices record video with a variable frame rate (depending on the lighting conditions to a great extent). Premiere Elements (any version) can have problems with such video to the extend (a) out of sync audio (b) cannot import file at all. I have a iPod Touch 4th Generation and have no Premiere Elements importing/editing/exporting problems with my 1280 x 720 @ 30 progressive frames per second (H.264.mov) video from that iPod.
Below is an excerpt of Premiere Elements 13 exports that might be of interest...

The ideal way would be to look at the tryout of Premiere Elements 13 before purchase. If not possible, then, if purchased from Adobe direct, there
should be an opportunity for money back within 30 days of purchased. If purchased from an authorized reseller, then the refund/return would be according to the policy of the retailer.
Please let us know if you are OK with the above information. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask. If clarification on anything that I have written is needed, please let me know.
Thank you.

Can't open shared .ics file with iPhone

I am trying to sync my iPhone calendars with the calendar on my PC that is in .ics format. The .ics file is located on a home server that allows both me and my wife to see each other’s calendars and its been working great. Now, I want to be able to see my calendar from my iPhone 4 (with OS 5.1.1) .. and I’ve tried setting it up with: settings --> mail, contacts,calendars --> add account --> other --> add subscribed Calendar.
With every possible config I can think of, I get the same response: "Calendar Subscription -- Unable to verify account information"
For server name, I’ve tried actual servername, ip address, etc; we do have security on the server but I put in the account name and password … ‘nuthin! “Unable to verify …”
Through the phone's browser, I am able to open up the folder on our server and see the.ics file. The path is xxxx.homeserver.com/webcal/nat_calendar.ics. I've tried sending an invite to myself, opening it in the phone, clicking on the link and I get this error: Cannot Subscribe: Could not subscribe to the calendar "nat_calendar.ics from "myservername".
Seems simple, what am I missing here.
Any ideas?
-- Nat

OK ... so not too many others have had this issue -- but for those in the future, here's how to solve it. Go to this brilliant post by Joe Bradford: essentially my problem as was his in part -- was caused by having the wrong MIME type in IIS (my webserver). By going into the web server and changing the MIME type from application/octet-stream to text/calendar fixes the problem and the iPhone can now subscribe to the Outlook-generated calendar file (.ics).
Thankfully, I did not have the additional problem of an errant Byte Order Mark in the hexidecimal structure of the file which Joe also had to surgically remove (see issue 2 in post above).
(Given this was a cross platform issue -- Apple and MSFT -- I have to put this one at the feet of Apple for not coding the iPhone to open a webDAV (.ics) calendar file regardless of its MIME type ...)

Is it dangerous to edit DNG-files with different programs?

Hi there,
does anybody know if problems/damages appear, if i manage the same DNG-file in ACR and Aperture like rebuilt the embedded preview?
Aperture is designed to do nothing at th master file, but if I open a DNG-file in ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) to update the preview to see them in correct in the Finder and iView, I‘m not sure if that’s good for Aperture?

Hi!
You can edit any .html file in Notepad by right-clicking on the file and clicking '''Open With...'''
When you're done editing, just save the file in Notepad. Then you can launch Firefox, go to the Menu, and then click "Open File". Choose your .html file and it will launch in Firefox. If you edit the file and then save, you just have to refresh the page in Firefox to see your changes.

I hope that solved your problem!

Can I edit PDF files with PDF Pack?

can I receive an PDF file and make changes to that file with my Adobe PDF Pack. and then create attachments to this file once i have completed the changes?

Hi maddog#1,
Adobe PDF Pack doesn't allow you to edit a PDF file; you need the full version of Acrobat for that.
Please let us know if you have further questions.

Can't edit remote files with nemo/thunar/...

Hi there,
I've got two kinda-related problems:
1) When I browse a remote server with any file manager (Nemo, but also Thunar and PCmanfm), and when i double-click to edit/view a file, the default program always opens empty, like it was called without any arg. If i try to open it in a terminal ("vim ftp://www.website.com/index.php"), it works without problem.
2) When browsing remote servers, Nemo (and only Nemo, i don't have this bug with Thunar or PCmanfm) will try to open files with the wrong program. On local, php files are opened with Vim and jpg with Gpicview. But on a FTP, php files are opened with spacefm (!) and jpg with Gimp.
Any ideas how i could fix that ?

I suggest you make a symlink from that directory to your ~ and call it 'remote computing done properly'.
I have the suspicion that software needs to be aware they are browsing on a remote computer. They get fed with probably invalid flile path's and thus open an empty window. I think that is not good. It should be transparent like the alternative method I just gave you. Gvfs should handle all the dirty details, that is what it's for.
However it could still be bug (I HOPE!).

Help?! Can I edit MTS files with Mac OX 10.04

I have tried several times do edit MTS files in Final cut pro 6, but it does not recognise the files.
After that I tried do converte the files to AVI or MPEG-4 and still the finla cut stop, just watching the clip... Is it possible that the OX 10.4 does not suport this type of files to work on final cut pro 6??
Best
Cris

Thanks for the information. My version does not allowed me to log and transfer the all folder from the camera.
So, if I convert the files with the clipwrap, i will be hable to import it in final cut as a file? But still, my computer gives me a message to: - turning off unlimited RT, increase the speed of the system, lowering the compression data rate and others... So I thought that this OX 10.04 version is not enought to work with this files?

[SOLVED]Can't edit .desktop files with Gnome 3. Application disappears

I've been trying to edit the desktop file for gimp so that I can run a custom command when it loads.
Basically I want to run GTK_MODULES= gimp instead of just straight gimp, because the global menu doesn't work well with gimp and running it in this way forces gimp to use the normal menus.
As soon as I edit the file, gimp disappears from my applications menu. If I click on the .desktop file through nautilus, it says there is a problem and it cannot run the application. I'm not sure how to open a .desktop file from the terminal, so I can't look for more specific error messages.
I tried creating a script and pointing the desktop file to that instead, and I tried using GTK_MODULES= && gimp, but both give the same problem. As soon as I click save, it becomes unusable, only fixable by reinstalling gimp.
Do you think it's possible to do what I'm wanting to do?

Reset Firefox, lost reminderfox, can't import .ics file with reminders

When I click on import it says my reminders have been exported! And I still don't have any of them in my reminderfox. What do I do now? Thanks

Hi lsaloga.
If you are comfortable opening up the .ics file you may need to change a few of the headers. As there is no support for reminderfox officially, it may be best to go to the developer's support site.
Here is the format that the file needs to be in if you open it up in a text file: [https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/45664]
Another step for troubleshooting this is to see if the add on supports reminders. Check the documentation for reminderfox here: [http://www.reminderfox.org/documentation-user-guide-sharing-reminders/]

I need to know best way to edit MXF files, with least rendering, is that converting the MXF or Log and Transfer? the end product is dvd, but I have lots and lots of these projects to do.

I am about to comence my Edit, and was told of Mpeg Streamclip, however this doesn't seem to work with my Canon XF305 Clips, the reason I was told to use it was so I wouldn't have to Render in Final Cut Pro all the time.. I do have the Canon Disc with the Plug in Utility and the update from their site.
Is it best to Convert these MXF files first and import them into FCP or use 'Log and Transfer', so far I am unable to do either!!
The projects on the timeline will have introduction .Movs already on it as a Template to re-use again and again with the new Footage ( MXF Files ) to be added and edited with transitions etc..This process is repeated again and again but with different MXF clips each time.
I am looking for the quickest and best way for workflow as there are 80 or more projects to do, each with 10 or so clips to be added to the timeline and Exported for DVD...Will I have to then Compress to fit onto DVD's??
I know Streamclip is an Mepeg 2 app but I thought the Canon XF305 Shot as mpeg2....
Is Log and Transfer my only Option?
Basically I need to know the quickest for Render purposes, and of course, the best way so the files aren't so huge etc etc.
Please, any suggestions would be greatly received....

We only work with PR422 files in FC7. We use Shane's workflow with all 5D & MXF footage.
Make your life easier and stick to the ProRes family for your footage and edit sequences. Avoid H264 & convert any you have to ProRes.
Unless you are considering Blu-Ray the only way to deliver video on a DVD is to convert it to SD.
Depending on the length of your show you can make a Blu-Ray in Compressor but you have very limited authoring options when compared to DVD Studio Pro.
Compressor can also convert your HD to SD mpg-2 & Ac3 files. The best results usually come from setting the frame controls in the mpg-2 setting of Compressor to best. Depending on the the length of the show and your Qmaster settings this can take quite a while.
I personally find Compressor's HD to SD DVD conversion varies. Sometimes it is wonderful and sometimes not so much. I prefer the following as it is usually is faster and very consistent.
Export a quicktime movie (not QT conversion) of your final sequence
Import the exported HD file back into FC.
Create a SD 16x9 sequence and then drop in the recently exported HD seq and render. Rendering the sequence basically has FC doing the HD to SD conversion. Export the SD sequence and then convert to mpg-2 & ac3 in Compressor. While this does take time I still find it faster than Compressor with Qmaster utilizing all cores.
Another option is using jobs in Compressor
http://pixelcorps.cachefly.net/macbreak-154-540p-h264.mov
In this workflow you would have Compressor convert the HD file to SD and then through jobs convert the SD file to mpg2 & Ac3.
In theory the jobs version could be faster (based on a number of variables- length, Qmaster, etc) but I haven't had time to compare the two.

Can i edit MTS files with premiere elements 13

I have a new camcorder and I have a problem editing with premiere elements 7, does elements 13 offer a solution? I believe it is the type of file that is not compatible.

bordstiff
In this thread I have no interests but to supply reliable information to you. What I have written stands as is. And, my answer to your questions will continue to be honest and for your consideration. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask me.
As for AVCHD.mts and AVCHD.mp4 in camera whose specifications offer the choice of AVCHD or .MP4.....both have been reported to use a form of AVCHD video compression with different wrapper formats (.mts and .mp4). Again, I did not post to go further into that. Please refer to the following link's post dated February 12, 2014 as one discussion of the matter.
FCP.co Forum :: Topic: AVCHD vs. MP4 ? (1/2)
I did not discover that AVCHD.mts does not play back the audio portion of an AVCHD.mts file when played back in the Elements Organizer 13 player. That has been the reality of Premiere Elements 13/Elements Organizer 13 users who found this out by themselves later than sooner. And, I confirm their results in those cases. There is no fix for this at the present time, and that is a user to user honest non marketing report. If this Elements Organizer issue is not an important concern for you, then this is a non issue for you.
Best wishes with your projects.

Can't edit ps6 file with ITC Zapf Dingbats in cs6 extend.?

Dear sir/madam,
I had worked out a psd file within ITC Zapf Dingbats font. But now I can't edit it in new purchased Ps Cs6 extend. Can you help me to copy the font from my older Xp laptop (Ps6) to the newest Win7 laptop (Ps Cs6)? Many thanks.
Best Regards,
Benson Yang

At least on both my windows 7 and windows xp machines it looks like that might be a font that an adobe program installed.
Maybe adobe reader or acrobat, but my guess is an older version of photoshop like yor photoshop 6 installed it.
I say that because the font is in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\Base\PFM folder (windows xp), although the name is not obvious (it's a postscript font as Mylenium wrote), so it may well be
a commericial font because i know they sell it at the adobe store.
Oh it's called i believe ZD______.PFM
