File sharing the easy way?

We have a network consisting of 15 mac users and a couple of pc users (not too bothered about them) and was wondering if there was a way of having some kind of drag and drop whenever I want to share files with another user rather than having to open the network, finding their computer and loggin in. I've tried a program called DropCopy but the transer rate is very slow.

Perhaps Sharepoints Automounter would help...

    HI Martin,
    i am not realy sure what you want!?!?
    i think you want to display only a part of the values you read from XYZ
    so what you can do:
    write all the values in an array.
    the size of the array is the max. value of the slide bar
    now you can select a part of the array (e.g. values from 100 to 200) and display this with a graph
    the other option is to use the history function of the graphes

  • Remote File Sharing via SSH-How to Set This Up the Easy Way

    So, I have been trying to gain access to my office iMac from my MacbookPro at home via the "interwebs" but keep getting the same issue...can not connect. I have read umpteen forums and threads. All give similar advice or are too technical to follow. I thought we made it work yesterday by installing Macfusion. That works just fine if the Mac is on. It will not wake a sleeping Mac. Here is my settup.
    Home (MBP running 10.6)
    Network (Timecapsule)
    Office (27in iMac running 10.6).
    I do have a static IP for the router.
    Here is what I want to do. Access my "sleeping" iMac from a different network via Connect Server for File Sharing. I have all the appropriate file sharing buttons checked. I can access TC using the static IP but that's as far as it goes.
    Is there a simple "Mac way" of doing this?
    Sincerely,
    Jim.
    Ps. I am happy to invest in a trusted third-party software that will "ping" the network to wake my Mac unlike Macfusion which connects only to a running Mac.

    Also check in System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Wake for network access is ticked

  • Is there such a thing as "the easy way to access my Time Capsule"??

    Ok I'm totally new to Mac and I feel totally daft! I can't seem to figure out how to access my TimeCapsule from wherever I am in the world..... I read guides, I look at the manual but I am still totally lost! Can sameone please walk me through this, step by step, in a EASY way??

    Don't feel daft.. the fundamental principle of access from external location is a bit strange..
    But there are lots of posts about it.. look up remote access time capsule.
    Before I can give you simple info on how to set this up. I need some info..
    Does the TC get the public IP on the wan interface?
    For this to work in the simplest way.. the TC must be the only router in the network and handling WAN to LAN of your network.
    Once you do that. Find out the public IP of the TC.. you will see that on any site that reveals your public ip but it should also be available in the TC.
    In the setup of the TC via airport utility go to manual setup disk file sharing.. and check for wan access and give the TC disk a password.
    In the Mac you carry around.. from a real internet connection not the one your TC is connected to,
    Open finder.. top menu.. go, go to server.
    Type in AFP://ipaddressofTC
    You will then be asked for password which you will have to give..
    Tell us the info and if it worked.

  • File Sharing Only One-Way Now Since Soft Crash

    Greetings!
    Several months ago my 1.25 10.4.11 eMac suffered not a physical hard drive crash but some kind of software crash that scrambled directories. Disk Warrior made the system functional again, save an occasional prefs or cookie glitch caused by a .plist file or cookie file's permissions having been re-set by the crash as "no access" or "no read-write" or even no admin or system or user name access at all (such that Safari wouldn't take new cookies since the crash date) which I fix by re-setting read-write to my user name access and admin as secondary access.
    I mention this because since the crash it seems that File Sharing on my eMac side is corrupted. I use ethernet to link my eMac with my 900mHz 10.4.11 iBook and prior the crash I could open each other's HD icon on another's desktop without a problem, but now I can only access my iBook's HD icon on my eMac but not the other way around. Actually my eMac's HD icon does appear on my iBook's desktop before the connection's broken after a few seconds, and my eMac's Sharing panel suddenly "ghosts" the Personal File Sharing listing and states "Personal File Sharing Is Turning On" when it's actually broken off.
    I've done the works from changing locations to wearing Onyx and Dusk Utility out trying to remedy this but no go. I highly suspect that some critical file sharing files in my eMac may've had their permissions turned off like other .plist files were, but if so, I don't know which files are File Sharing related to check this out if indeed they're responsible. If anyone can point these out for me it might be half the battle won.
    Any assistance would be welcome!
    James Greenidge

    I hesitate to jump in because I am running OS 10.5.6, rather than 10.4.x ... but the a guy over in the Leopard discussions simply advised me to search the archives for a solution to my problem and the search led me here.
    Sharing seems to be broken on my Mac. The finder disappears whenever I try to set 'sharing' for a folder.
    The problem that James had with his machine seemed similar and I was prepared to delete the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist, as suggested by BDAqua. But I DON'T HAVE such a file !! Hmmmmm.
    There is one more thing that might be pertinent. I repaired permissions with DISK UTILITY a couple of times after each time Finder disappears and always receive the same ominous message that the following SUID files had been modified and will not be repaired;
    - System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad
    - usr/bin/setregion
    - System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Resources/runner
    - System/Library/Printers/IOMs/LPRIOM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/LPRIOMHelper
    I have no idea what that is all about.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

  • Clearing Duplicates the Easy Way

    Due to a rookie consolidation move, I've got duplicates of most of my music in my iTunes Music Folder--all in the same file. The duplicates I'd like to get rid of all have a "1" tacked on to them, like this:
    03 She's Lost Control.mp3 (original)
    03 She's Lost Control 1.mp3 (duplicate)
    I'd like to clear up space by removing all of those "1" duplicates, but I've got a ton of music to go through and select. What's the easiest way to select and delete duplicates?

    Several ways to Clean Up Your Library by Removing "!" or ‘dead links’ within iTunes:
    If you move, edit, delete or otherwise change a music file listed in the iTunes Library with a program or tool other than iTunes, you may end up with a "!" in front of the song name. iTunes does not keep track of music file changes made outside of iTunes.

    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=607582
    EASIER:
    Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/RemoveDeadTracks.txt
    Rename it to RemoveDeadTracks.js.
    Run iTunes.
    While iTunes is running, double click RemoveDeadTracks.js to run the script.
    It will remove all the exclamation marked tracks.
    One step, no fuss, no muss.
    Then, give Otto42 a big 'Thanks' for this one.

  • Changing energy saver the easy way

    Is there an easy way to set schedules on workstations? If I knew which pref file contained this info I could copy out that file no?

    don't know what "pmset" means, the provided unix commands don't quite cover what I want;
    start up weekdays at 7:30 a.m., shutdown everyday at 4:00 p.m.
    If I knew which prefs file held that data. I thought it was users/me/library/preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    but moving that file around doesn't seem to do it.
    If I change the settings manually on a workstation, when logged in as admin, all users inherit this even though prefs file is in admin's own prefs folder.
    coping out the file doesn't do anything though, so I'm either doing the wrong file or something is going on way above my head (no doubt)

  • Gstreamer, the easy way

    Since I like to have a way to install all gstreamer packages, I thought others might like to have them all displayed and formatted for a quick installation.

    It depends on the apps that you use. If you use a media player that use it (like listen in community repo), to play a certain file type, you need to have the corresponding plugin installed.  I assume that the advantages are that it's more lightweight and there are probably other reasons (performance?) that I'm not aware of.  Maybe the developers of  multimedia apps find it easier to use gstreamer than the default way.

  • Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Easy way to remove?

    Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Is there an easy way to remove them?
    It's a royal ache going through each one, clicking to see if it will play, getting a 'cannot locate the file' message, delete, etc etc.
    Showing duplicates just shows I have a lot to tidy up.
    <Edited By Host>

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • What is the easier way to edit a captured slide?

    I have created a demonstration animation and there are several slides that need a little graphics editing.
    So far, I have not found a way to automate the process of editing slides.
    The only method I can determine is by selecting "Copy Background", then opening a graphics editor, pasting to a new window, edit accordingly, save the edited graphic background, import into the slide.
    Isn't there anyway to edit inline?.. meaning, the background is automatically sent to your choosen graphics editor, you edit the graphic, click save/exit, and the graphics background is automatically updated. That is how Captivate 4's competitors do it.

    Hi Shawn
    It really depends on what exactly you need to do. For example, if all you want is an easy way to blot out some words, use a Highlight Box object at zero percent transparency. Then merge it into the background. Or maybe you need an image added in. Add the image separately and merge it.
    Last week we needed to render an option button as unselected. In that case I just right-clicked and opened in Microsoft Paint. Duplicated another and overlaid the errant one. Closed and saved. Total update time from start to finish was less than two minutes.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Automated install Arch x86_64 root-file system the "Raspberry" way..

    Dear Archers,
    I am currently deeply interested in installing Arch as dual boot on my
    current x86_64 system.
    And yes, there is plenty information regarding this subject in Arch wiki's.
    However...
    I would like to automate the installation the "Raspberry-Pi" -way.
    Details on the "Installation tab" of:
    http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi.
    As you can see, the installation steps are easy to automate, in my opinion.
    That's why I wrote an automation script for this purpose..
    The information further suggests that there is a root-filesystem for
    Arch named: 'ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz.'
    Unfortunately, I don't think this root system will function on x86_64 systems..
    So I researched if there was a root filesystem for Arch x86_64 and found filenames like 'root-image.fs.sfs' 'core.db' 'core.img'.
    But I'm unsure if these archives/images really contain a rootfilesystem similar to the ArchARm system.
    Therefore my question:
    Does anybody know if there is a similar root filesystem for x86_64 so I can reproduce the "rpi-way" installation for x86_64 systems?
    Kind regards,
    Kees Epema

    You are definitely not going to be able to simply dd arch to your machine unless you create an image to do so.  Even then, that image would become old and stale pretty quickly, possibly leading to problems getting the system up to date.
    In my opinion, the raspberry pi way to simply dd'ing an image to an SD card is a disservice to the ArchlinuxARM users.  Though seemingly the proper way to get a system running on a raspberry pi, it masks the install process and leaves the user without a clue as to what would have gone into creating the system.
    Go read the beginners guide.  Use a virtual machine to practice if you need.  Shortcuts are not going to help you with Arch.

  • Trim extra spaces (the easy way)

    Sometimes, the fields from my resultset will have extra spaces at the end. Is there an easy way to simply trim the space when selecting a value?
    For instance, say there is extra space on this Date field, is there no trim-space type function?
    <xsl:value-of select="Date"/>
    Thanks,
    TI

    Oh dear. They have lumped XPath 1.0 and XPath 2.0 functions together there, and they don't specify which is which. Chances are you are only using XPath 1.0, so try this link instead:

  • What is the "easy" way to get to 3.1.2?

    I've "loved" the Oracle database for many years, and is thrilled with Apex. I no longer work as a DBA, but tries to keep my technical stuff close.
    I have an Apex 2.1 installation on an 10g database on Ubuntu 8.10 server. I did the lazy install then, and installed via aptitude (more or less automated install).
    I would like to install 3.1.2, but must admit I almost lost courage when I read the requirements.
    My Oracle install right now can be discarded, so I wanted to ask: what is the easiest way for me to get 3.1.2 installed on Ubuntu?
    Install the latest version of 11g? Run a magic script, that automates all that Oracle exhaustively describes?
    Thanks in advance
    Yours
    /Kim
    End note/rant: given that oracle can describe everything in such details, why oh why, not just build an installer around it?! the chances of errors are multitudes greater with all these nitty gritty commands. My SQL Server DBAs routinely updates, installs and patches SQL Server without much of a hassle. Oracle DBAs gets ticks thinking of the testing needed...

    Just to be clear, you're probably running Oracle Express Edition, or "XE" based on the fact that you installed it via aptitude and it has APEX 2.1 pre-installed. It may say 10g when you login, but please refer to it as XE in the forums so people know what db they're dealing with.
    There is no "easy" way to magically install 3.1.2. You have to follow the install guide to the letter now matter what path you take. Even if you install 11.1, it only has APEX 3.0 pre-installed. Even though I really prefer 11 to 10, I think your best off sticking with XE, especially since there are no licensing issues. For what it's worth, I've suggested that APEX needs a GUI installer (such as Oracle Universal Installer) for several years now since the install / upgrade process can be a bit daunting. Until the community demands it, I don't think it's going to happen, so please, speak up if you think the install process is too hard.
