File upload not working on Mac OSX

I've tried several of the Flex file upload components, in all
cases they don't work correctly when used on a Mac. I've tested
both flash player 9 and the latest 10 release. The file uploads to
the server, but the progress bar doesn't update and the upload
complete event never fires. To the end user, it looks like the app
isn't doing anything at all!
Any advice on how to get this working? If you know of any
file upload components that are already tested and working on the
Mac version of flash - that would be a great help as well!
Thanks!

If you Google it you will find that this is a known issue, it surprised me since I spent days looking at my code.
I found possible solutions here, but none worked for me it seems that it worked for many other people.

Hope Mac and Adobe will have lunch one day and figure it out.

  • Bookmark Open File Action not working on MAC OSX

    We are getting the following error when trying to open different files that start find in Finder:
    could not find an application to open the file 'xxxxx'
    We tried a simple MAC OS Application.app file, a terminal app script and in both cases we get the above error.  These same files start up without issue on a click in Finder.
    The Open File action "DOES" work on an Microsoft Office File... but does not work for a Mac Application.App file or a AppleScript script file.
    Can anyone share how to get Open File to work with some type of script file or application file on the MAC OS with Adobe Reader 11 ?

    We ended up having to create an App on the MAC OS with an "associated" file type and then use the Bookmark Open File Action on files of that type.  This followed what worked for opening Office files on the MAC from the Bookmark Open File Action.
    My question was ... on Windows we could use the Bookmark Open File Action to open up "applications" or "bat scripts" directly... but this does not appear to be supported on the MAC.  We could not "start" an app or a script directly from the Bookmark Open File Action.  We had to set the action to open a file and then handle that file in the associated application we created for that filetype on the MAC.
    Thank you for your question,
    James

  • Android File Transfer not working with MAC OSX 10.9.5

    I have a Kurio Extreme for my child, and I have downloaded and used Android File Transfer in the past. Recently two things have changed. My OS, and the Kurio tablet. I attempted to use it today, and the device is not recognized.
    I reached out to the Kurio Helpdesk and they state that the issue is either with the OS software or AFT. I have removed AFT, rebooted the computer, downloaded it again, all to no avail.
    Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

    This problem could arise if you have installed Kies. What it does is, it installs drivers which is not compatible with android file transfer app.
    Now the solution for this problem is properly uninstall kids from your mac, to do this follow the steps:
    1. Check the security and privacy settings in your system preference whether the settings for "Allow apps download from" to "Anywhere" (to set this first click the lock button on the left of your screen by entering your password, this will enable the option to be changed)
    2. After you are done with the first step open the kies installation file (file that is used to install kies, if you have deleted the file, download it again) open the file there you will find an option "uninstall". Click and follow the instruction.
    3. When you have successfully deleted the app, restart your mac.
    4. Install Android file transfer app if you haven't done it yet.
    5. Connect your android device
    6. BANG! It will work just fine. Hope it helps!!

  • Multiple Image Upload not working on macs

    Hello everybody,
    I have searched everywhere for an answer to this issue and I'm not sure if there is a solution yet.
    I am hoping someone reads this and tells me if either I need to use another product or post a fix for this to work.
    I am developing a website for a photographer who needs to upload the pictures he takes for his clients to review on his website.
    So on the backend I have created an application where he logs in and creates a new client and then uploads multiple images to that client's folder.
    I am of course developing the site in ADDT version 1.0.1. in Dreamweaver CS4.
    Everything works as expected except for the image upload part, where he is unable to upload even a single image.
    He is using Mac OS X and Safari 3 to access his site.
    I use a PC and can upload images perfectly, but the whole purpose of the website is for him to be able to upload images without me.
    I read somewhere that ADDT's Multiple Image upload did not work on Macs because of the way that the OS handles image uploads to the server via HTTP. I also know that Flash v.10 had an issue with this behaviour in the past, but that it's been fixed with ADDT's v. 1.0.1, which is true since as I said I am able to upload images from my PC using that Flash version.
    There is a product called MultiPowUpload from Element-IT (http://www.element-it.com/MultiPowUpload.aspx) that seems to do the exact same thing as ADDT's Multiple Image Upload, and I have tested the Demo version both on Mac and PC and works perfectly well.
    I really would like my ADDT behaviour to work, first because I already have the whole site developed in it, plus I am used to the software already, and also because Element-IT's product is a bit pricey for a multiple server license (which I would need for other sites I plan to develop for Mac users).
    Any thoughts or pointers you might have will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.
    Luis Herrero.

    Thanks a lot for your replies and helpful ideas.
    It turns out that for some strange reason the problem was with the hosting provider.
    I have moved another site which was not working with Macs either to a new provider and everything works now as it should be, without changing any files at all.
    I have in fact v.1.0.1 in both those sites (those were the first things I checked before posting here) and Flash Player v. 10 both on the Mac and PC, so it will remain a mystery as to why the server behavior did not work with that particular host on Macs.
    Thanks again.
    Best regards.

  • New File() is not working on MAC

    Hi,
    I don't know exactly what is the problem,since i search in forums.
    but in my code
    File f = new File("/Users/sky/Desktop/dist/test.txt");
    is not working on Mac os.
    Please help !

    skymania wrote:
    On window it will give output : success

    On window and mac both file is not exist (physically). Bull.
    Simply doing new File(...) does NOT create a file on disk, no matter what the OS.
    On Windows, before running the Java code:
    C:\>dir C:\CONFIG.SYS
    02/05/2008  01:06 PM                 0 CONFIG.SYS
    C:\>dir C:\zzzzz
    File Not FoundThen I run this Java:
    package scratch;
    import java.io.File;
    * Copyright (c) 2009 Tone Software Corporation
    * @author Jeff Verdegan
    public class NewFileDoesNotCreateAFileOnDisk {
      public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception{
        File f1 = new File("C:/CONFIG.SYS");
        File f2 = new File("C:/zzzzz");
        System.out.println(f1.getCanonicalPath () + ".exists() is " + f1.exists ());
        System.out.println(f2.getCanonicalPath () + ".exists() is " + f2.exists ());
    }and I get this result:
    C:\CONFIG.SYS.exists() is true
    C:\zzzzz.exists() is falseAnd then I do the dir again, and I get the same results.
    Thus proving that new File does NOT create a file on the disk.
    If you would bother to read the docs for the File class like I suggested, you'll see a way that you can create a file on disk.
    And if you read my other comments, you'll see how to create a file as you write to it.

  • File.lastModified() not working in MAC OS

    Hi all,
    Iam trying to get the lastmodified time of a file using this
            File newFile=new File(uploadFilePath); //uploadFilePath has the path of the file.
            String newFile_Name=newFile.getName();
            long lastmodified=newFile.lastModified(); The above is working in windows but not in MAC. in MAC i get the lastmodified time as 0. I
    s there anyother functionality to get this in MAC. or is it the problem with the path?.
    For eg. the uploadFilePath in PC will be like this
    C:\Documents and Settings\Tanuja\Desktop\File\file_management.txt
    where as in MAC file path of a selected file will be like this.
    /Users/Tanuja/Desktop/file_management.txt
    is this path makes difference or iam i going wrong somewhere?
    could not figure out.
    Thanks,
    Thanuja.

    I found where the problem is. Using the file chooser i selected a file and got the file path and my code deals witht the path as below:
    String uploadFilePath=/Users/Tanuja/Desktop/file_management.txt
    File newFile1=new File(uploadFilePath);
    //Check  whether file exists or not
    if(newFile1.exists()==true)
                out.println("exists");
            else
                out.println("does not exists");
    Result: does not exists
    So i tried by passing the absolute path but all in vain. I get the same result.
    Absolute path: C:\Users\Tanuja\Desktop\file_management.txt
    String uploadFilePath=/Users/Tanuja/Desktop/file_management.txt
    File newFile1=new File(uploadFilePath);
    String abslolutePath=newFile1.getAbsolutePath();
    File newFile=new File(abslolutePath);
    if(newFile.exists()==true)
                out.println("exists");
            else
                out.println("does not exists"); why its not detecting the file though the file path it returned is correct?.
    since it is not detecting the file i got the lastmodified as 0.
    iam using commons upload to upload the file. how commons package is able to detect the file and upload. My upload process is success. but before uploading the file i need to validate it by gettting the lastmodified date. Its not working.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Thanuja.

  • X11 not working on Mac OSX 10.4.11

    The Mac OS X version is 10.4.11
    X11 opens and then automatically shuts down.
    I tried the following already with no luck:
    Installed x11 from the Mac OSX Tiger DVD.
    Installed using the instructions on [url="http://roundhere.net/journal/install-x11-on-mac-os-x-10-4-tiger-without-d vd/"]this[/url] website.
    Installed the X11 2006 update from [url="http://support.apple.com/downloads/X11Update_2006_1_13"]here[/url].
    None of them worked. X11 still closes automatically after opening it.
    Any thoughts?

    Imperial:
    I have two units running 10.4.11, one of them I downloaded X11 from Apple and the other I checked off install X11 when I upgraded to 10.4.11 not too long ago. I just checked both of them for launching X11, thinking there was something about the window opening and then closing before opening, but they both just opened. Did you run "repair permissions" after you installed the '06 update? or did you restart the computer after installing? Don't know, but something isn't right. Perhaps try to re-install, but run repair permission before and after if you haven't already done that.
    e.e.p.

  • File Upload Not Work

    I have installed the File Upload sample in a Windows 2000 machine with 6i Form Server. When I start the web browser in the machine with the 6i Form Server, I can upload the file without problem. But when I start the web browser in another PC and accessing the 6i Form Server, the file seems uploaded but with 0 byte!!! Besides, the web browser in the PC hangs up.
    Please advise what is the most likely cause of the problem, thanks.

    I have several applications using the "multiple upload" behavior with clients on IE7 and flash player 9. Out 8 I only had same problem with one., even though they were created off the same base structure. The solution I found was as simple as it is mysterious.
    "Is the file you have this behavior located within the same directory as the "includes" folder or within another directory? "
    Let's say the directory of the includes folder is:
    root/public_html/includes
    and your page with the behavior is:
    root/public_html/folder/multiUpload.php
    For some reason and not on all sites if the file with the behavior is not in the same directory as the includes folder then the behavior you described occurs. The solution I came up with is to make a folder in the directory named "includes" and copy the "tng" into the folder on the same level as the file with the behavior.
    root/public_html/folder/includes
    root/public_html/folder/multiUpload.php
    Hope this works for you, it took me the better part of a week to figure this out, not sure why it works, I suspect a setting within ADDT was corrupted. Like I said before most of my clients don't have this problem even though they all use the same files (as in copies).
    Hope this helps

  • Logitech C910HD webcam not working in Mac OSX 10.6.6

    I'm currently using Mac OSX 10.6.6 and flash  10.1.102.64. My problem occurs in the most recent versions of Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. I am able to select my cam by exact name in the settings for video and as an unknown usb device for audio with its built in microphone (the volume bar shows activity instantly). Launching the webcam (on the 5-6 sites I attempted) just creates a blank white image. The webcam works fine in all non-flash applications I tried. My lower quality 10 year old firewire cam still works fine in flash. Logitech is telling me this is an Adobe issue. Any ideas?

    Hi, I remember another user having an issue with the C910HD and don't know if it was resolved or not. I just had a note about upgrading to HQ.
    This is a link to Logitech's Forum:
    http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Webcams/bd-p/quickcam_software
    I don't use a webcam so can't be too much help. Hopefully another user will respond to your thread.
    If you can see videos on youtube, than that is an indicator that Flash Player is Installed and working.
    You can also use the Search Forum feature at the top right of the Flash Player forum and perhaps find some threads with the same issue.
    Thanks,

  • 9i File Upload not working on remote machine

    Hi.
    The 9i File Upload demo utility is working fine when I invoke it locally on the same machine.
    Remotely, however, I just get a grey blank screen in the browser with the message "Applet initialized" in the status bar. The java console says that the two JAR files were downloaded successfully, and doesn't show any other error.
    When I imported the cert on the client, the expiry date had already passed (sometime in 2002). I have generated a new cert, resigned the JAR file and installed it in the correct directory. Again, the upload works fine locally, but not remotely.
    Has anyone any idea what could be wrong? I'd be very grateful for any assistance. For info, we're using 9iDS 9.0.2.1.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Please ignore my previous message.
    I rebooted the client and it now seems to work fine.
    Thanks anyway,
    Peter

  • Photo Mechanic 4.6.9 Not Working With Mac OSX

    I have Mac OS 10.4.11, and suddenly Photo Mechanic 4.6.9 stopped opening a few hours ago.  Last night it worked and this morning suddenly the shortcut icon disappeared and when I try to open from applications folder I get message saying this application cannot be used with Mac OSX!  I need to use this application for work so I really need to get this working.  Help!

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Also, could it have possibly auto updated to a later version?

  • File upload not working

    Hi,
    I am trying to implement a file upload following the how-to.
    But when I am trying to use the file browse item, the process of uploading stops - only the www_flow.accept sreen shows....sometime reload helps.
    I've tried Firefox and IE....
    Working locally on the server has the same result...
    Any idea / suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!
    Alex

    Addendum:
    IE 6.0 has after reload the following error code:
    Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
    Error ERR-7621 Could not determine workspace for application (:) on application accept.

  • Multiple file upload not working in IE10 and IE11

    Hi,
    As per the UI5 documentation( https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/#test-resources/sap/ui/commons/demokit/FileUploader.html) , UI5 supports multiple file uploading for IE10 and IE11. I set the "multiple: true" flag in the fileuploader example page and the file browser dialog is not allowing to select multiple files. Does UI5 provide multi file upload support for IE10 and IE11 or am i missing anything ?
    regards
    Raja

    Huh?
    Your problem makes no sense. The filename is included with the upload so that the server knows what the file was originally called. Are you running the JSP locally and reading the file directly off the hard drive??
    I note also that you aren't using a multipart form, which is required to upload a file.
    <form action="uploadFile.jsp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <input type="file" name="upload" value="<%= fileName %>" />
    </form>You'll need to use the Jakarta Commons FileUpload class to correctly process a form encoded with "multipart/form-data" or getParameter("xxx") will return null. You can also use the older com.oreilly.servlet.MultipartForm or whatever it's called. I'm pretty certain that the Jakarta Commons obsoletes all the COS classes.
