HELP

Try setting up a new user account and logging in as that user. If all is well then your account settings are messed up. If nothing works there either, reinstall the OS. This problem isn't specific to the G4 though so you might want to re-ask this question in Discussions -> Mac OS X and Related Software.

Scanning a document but only offer in file names are image options

I am trying to scan a document but my only options in the file names are image file names (.jpeg, bitmat etc...) I tried running the HP fix I found in another forum answer, downloaded and ran it, ran a test scan and saw all sorts of options including pdf. My test scan ran great, and my document scanned in as a .pdf. I then tried to scan again but again my only options were as an image file names. I restarted my PC but still the same issue. I am running windows XP.

In the print dialog of Acrobat choose 'Form fields only'.

What file name, are old emails saved under in backups?

Time Machine, does not seem to operate properly, past the date when I clean installed Yosemite. My files are all there, but I can only find them by going into my drive, and either searching for the file in Time Machine, or searching for it in my backup drive. I cannot restore a mail file, by opening mail, and time machine. It works fine up until the date, when I installed Yosemite. I have done 2 different completely clean installs, and one using migration assistant, wt a multitude of problems. I am done wt doing that. My iMac is finally running smoothly, and I have managed to migrate everything back into my iMac, except for my old emails. I'm pretty sure that I could restore my emails, as long as I knew where there there supposed to be stored on my iMac. I could basically restore them, by either looking in my backup drive where they are before I installed Yosemite. What file name, are old Maverick emails saved under in backups?

The information viewed in Contacts is not located in a single file, nor a single directory.
[Copied from another thread I responded to recently:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24658329#24658329]
This MIGHT be include all the files you need, but there might also be Preferences files needed from another directory.
Also, I migrated my data from an older OS X version (10.6.8) where the app was called Address Book. On brand new systems, it is called Contacts, and the correct directory might be named Contacts.
NOTE: Be sure to replace Macintosh HD below with the actual hard drive name if not Macintosh HD, and username below with the actual user's name...
Transfer all the files from Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
That WILL INCLUDE each of these three subdirectories where the necessary files and data are stored:
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/images
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

How to position the cursor in File Name area in JFileChooser??

Hi,
I have been trying to position the cursor directly to filename area in JFileChooser. But no success.
It positions itself at the directory path by default.
How should I achieve this?
The problem is that I do not know the name of this
component used for File Name area hence difficult to
use "requestFocus() or getFocus()" like methods.
Thanks for your help.
-Manoj

Somewhere I saw a tip that explained how to do it, but I didn't keep a link to it. But basically it's like this: JFileChooser is a Container, so getComponent(n) will return the n-th component in the JFileChooser. One of them is the one you want to give the focus to, and I expect it will be a JTextField. A little experimentation should tell you which index you need to use.

Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

You can, but how are you going to back up those other files? When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
Not sure what you mean. You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

1) What you downloaded should be a packed file (zip, tar.gz, etc) that needs to be unpacked into the directory of your choice.
2) & 3) are answered by Ant's installation documentation (the page you're quoting from):

File names are not being created correctly!!

Problem I have, and it seems to be an issue with iTunes in Windows and not Mac or in Windows Media Player for that matter.
Anyway, the problem is that the files are not being written as they are displayed in the Album Data in iTunes itself. It just appears as though iTunes will create any length of file name it wants and not the one that you create??
The reason I have an issue with this, is because I am trying to create one large album directory on an external Hard Drive connected to my Router so that any machine I have on the network can access it from there as opposed to creating a directory on every single machine.
I have a tone of discs that I am loading up and just felt that having one large directory on a networked drive would be the best route to take.
The machines I will be using to access the files using iTunes is my Mac Mini and my Windows PC depending on what room I am in, and then probably a few other devices scattered around the house to make up a Media network.
Anyway, the issue is with the file names.
It just seems that Windows iTunes wants to create whatever file name size it pleases, where as Mac iTunes and Windows Media Player seem to create the files as listed in the Track List and Album File Data.
It would seem that Windows iTunes has a serious bug in it's File Structure Handling which is a pain in the proverbial.
Just to test this out, I created the same Album both in Windows and Mac and the Mac version had the full file name structure but the PC one doesn't, however, Windows Media Player created it exactly the same as Mac iTunes.
It definitely appears as though there is an issue with iTunes in Windows, because it creates other albums without a problem. It just seems to pick and choose as it pleases.
Anyone else get this or know if there is a way to fix it??

I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps if you gave a specific example?
I put my CD's into iTunes so that they go in Album Format with the albums in seperate folders and the song names as they are retrieved from the internet, so that they are not songs all in one long Directory Listing. (Unless of course there is another way of using iTunes??)
When using iTunes on Mac or the Windows Media Player, all the songs are loaded onto the computer as they are written in the descriptions downloaded from the web.
Example in Directory format:
Artist Album Song Name
Queen - Innuendo - 08 These Are The Days Of Our Lives
This works fine in Mac iTunes or Windows Media Player. However, if I'm using iTunes in Windows, it may give me the following,
Artist Album Song Name
Queen - Innuendo - 08 These Are The Days O
Now, that is just an example and not a song that is affected, but it gives you an idea of what happens. It appears to happen on any Album and File Name combinations, and only appears to happen when using iTunes in Windows. The much longer filename and album names seem to be far more affected and I think this is to do with Windows Naming structure, but it doesn't explain why it's not happening in Windows Media Player??
The problem with this, is that when trying to use the same File Directory stored on my external Networked HDD for both Apple and Windows iTunes, the Windows version is causing havoc by doing what it wants where as the Apple iTunes seems to work as intended.
So when it comes to using either to rip a new CD to the library, I have to start using the Mac Mini each time because it seems to not be causing any issues when ripping discs.
I'm still in the process of sorting out my Album Directory and having to load everything up on the iMac so that everything gets loaded properly, but this seems to be a really bad bug in iTunes.
The reason I want to use this external NAS HDD is to keep my data in one area as opposed to having two large directories for both machine formats.
I hope that is a little more clear on what is happening.
P.S. Just to add to this. I prefer to use the PC for CD Ripping because the CD Drive is much faster than my Mac Mini and doesn't get anywhere near as hot when used constantly. I can rip 20 albums or more on my PC in the time it takes to sometimes rip just 5 to 10 on my Mac Mini, which is why I wanted this to work properly on the Windows version of iTunes.

Help! All text w/in OSX (Menus, File name) are "A"s in boxes

This started out today (Sunday, 3/11/07) after I installed the DST patch. I first noticed this in Quicken, but after I restarted my computer to attempt to fix the issue, the entire Mac OS is suffering from this problem.
The problem is that every menu, file name, and letter of text in the OS shows up as an "A" with a box around it. The only way I can navigate is by shortcut keys (as I cannot read the menus), and my knowledge of shortcut keys is limited. Text within program windows displays fine, but that's about it. Example - the Edit menu displays at 4 "A"s, all in their own box. It almost appears that the system font was changed.
Any suggestions on repairing this? I'm capable of simply formatting the drive and reinstalling Mac OSX, but I cannot easily backup all my data (cannot read file names or find the Export/Backup menu in most applications). Help!

Alright, reinstalling the OS was the ticket. Here's some details for anyone who runs into the same issue...
A little info about my MacBook first. I have Mac OS 10.4.8 with Boot Camp/Windows XP on another partition (about 10 gigs). After I was hit with the "A" box plague, some applications failed to open, including Quicken. It would error out with a system failure.
The solution was reinstalling Mac OS from the CD(s) that came with the computer. If done properly, you will not lose any of your data or settings.
Pop CD 1 into the drive and run the installer application. Your computer will restart and boot from the CD. At this point, I ran the Disk Utility software. A few minor errors were found and fixed. I then continued with the installation of Mac OSX. During installation you will be warned that your hard drive already has the OS installed. If you go into Options, you can select to archive the old OS and install a fresh copy. You will also have the option to restore your Home folder - do this if you wish to retain your data and settings. Continue with the installation as usual.
Your computer will restart when the installation is compete. You are done! When Mac OSX starts up, everything will be back to normal without loss of settings, programs or data. You will want to run the Software Update tool at this point.
I must say, even though I was disappointed that Apple Support would not help me with this issue because of their 90-day free support window, I am very impressed with how easy it is to fix their OS. I'm a customer for life.

Argh! Message bundle file names are not allowed to have dots???

It took me several hours to find the reason for this exception:
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name properties\com.domain.prj.huj.MainApp.Messages, locale de_DE
     at java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(ResourceBundle.java:804)
     at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundleImpl(ResourceBundle.java:773)
     at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(ResourceBundle.java:538)If the message bundle name contains dots (package separators), this exception is thrown! When I remove the dots, it works. But even the javadoc for ResourceBundle.getBundle() says that the baseName parameter is " the base name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name ".
Is it not possible to have the message bundle file names containing dots (i.e. package declarations with class names)?

Nope. Periods are used to delimit packages in the basename. So given:
"com.domain.prj.huj.MainApp.Messages",
ResourceBundle will look for "com/domain/prj/hui/MainApp/Message[_local][.class|.properties]" on the class path (ie, in jars etc).
I've just had to implement an alternate RB factory to deal with legacy property files which contain periods. If you are starting from scratch, don't put in periods.

Chinese file names are broken in Flash Player 11.8.800.168

Hi everybody:
In our web product, we use a flash plugin for legacy IE browsers (such as IE8 and older) to support better user experience to upload files. Today, after we upgraded to the latest Flash Player version 11.8.800.168, we found FileReferenceList object cannot return correct Chinese characters in "Select" event for all the files with Chinese file names. It seems the files are not correctly encoded. It happens in all the operation system, all the IE browsers, as long as the Flash Player version is the latest one. And we tested in the older version, such as 11.8.800.094, the problem didn't happen.
We believe it may affect all the Chinese users, and we guess the Korean and Japanese users will be affected too because our languages are similar. Today is the first day for the new version, so the problem will happen in greater range in the following days after more and more users upgrade the flash player. Can anyone help us on this problem? Many appreciation for the help!
Best regards
Ran

The Flash Player team is aware of the problem and are actively working towards a fix.
The problem affects all Unicode and other wide-character scripts.

Hi,
After upgrading to ios 5.1.1 the icons (delete, export, mail) below the file names in garage band are missing. Any ideas about this. Thanks.

Oh, I've tried this as well: http://blog.scoopz.com/2010/09/11/iphone-camera-roll-thumbnails-corrupt-shows-bl ack-boxes-fix/, but it didn't make a difference; the videos I capture with the iphone are fine, it's the movies I uploaded myself that don't have a thumbnail.

File names are only showin 2-3 letters
