File uploads stalling when using mac browsers?!

Im having a recurring issue where i cannot complete file uploads to popular sites such as YouTube, SendSpace, FileLodge, DropLoad and YouSendIt.
On all mac browsers (safari, firefox, netscape etc) the upload starts as normal and (via a network monitor in dashboard) I can see that my 25kb upload speed is being utilised to its full capacity. But after around 5 mins (with bigger files) the upload seems to stall, and my network monitor shows no upload activity!!!
I use a Belkin Wireless Router to connect my mac and a PC laptop to the internet and have tried removing all its security/firewall settings (and OSX's) as a troubleshooting tactic, but still with the same results!
I have tried uploading to the same sites using Virtual PC on my mac and it DOES WORK as it is supposed to, so this rules out it being a router or ISP problem i think... no?
I can usually send smaller files.... under 5MB is usually ok, but these sites are designed for files up to 1GB!!! Please can someone tell me why this is happening and what i can do to fix it? Is this a mac software restriction?
Thanks

MajorTom,
There is not a restriction on the mac, I have successfully sent files to yousentit.com before
However I would have to guess it would be the Mac OS communicating with your internet connection, have you tried to connect the Mac directly to your Modem via ethernet?

Multiple File Upload With Metadata Using REST

hi all
I want to upload multiple files with metadata to document library using REST API. I am using this msdn article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn769086(v=office.15).aspx for uploading file. I am able to upload single file to document library but it is not working for multiple file. when I select multiple file it is uploading last selected file. can
anyone help with this. I am using office 365 environment.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use the REST to upload multiple files.
Per my knowledge, the REST API is not supported for uploading multiple files via a single call.
You can write your own loop to upload multiple files via an individual call.

How to popup file upload tag when we click on a button?

Hi All,
In BSP, How to popup the file upload tag when we click on a button?
Let us Assume that when we click on open button as mentioned in the below 1st screen shot one popup should open like the below mentioned screen shot2 in the same page?
Screen Shot1
Screen shot 2
Please help me on this.
Thanks

if you're using a document class ascircle, that should something like:
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class ascircle extends MovieClip{
public function ascircle(){
init();
private function init():void{
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickF);
function clickF(e:MouseEvent):void{
Circle.play();
// if you're adding code to the main timeline, you would use:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickF);
function clickF(e:MouseEvent):void{
Circle.play();

Safari is having problem loading messages in gmail. When using other browsers, there is no problem loading and viewing the messages. What is going on? please help!

safari is having problem loading messages in gmail. When using other browsers, there is no problem loading and viewing the messages. What is going on? please help!

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

I get a file upload popup when composing an email using Godaddy webmail. How can I prevent this from happening?

When I try to compose an email from Godaddy's webmail in the Firefox browser. My steps are as follows:
-Open Firefox.
-Log in to Godaddy webmail.
-I hit the compose button.
-New window pops up. This is the window that I would compose an email in.
- Right after the compose window loads, I get another window that pops up. This window says "File Upload" in the upper left corner.
If I exit that window I can then compose my email, and life is good until I want to compose another email. Then the problem repeats. I have contacted Godaddy support and the problem is not on their end. Also the problem DOES NOT happen when using another browser (Internet Explorer).

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

How to open .doc files created with microsoft word 97... when using mac os x 10.7.4?

hi! i'm using mac os x 10.7.4 and have Office 2011. i can no longer open older documents (.doc) created with Microsoft Word 97... What can i do to get access to these files?
thanks in advance!

I had too many of these that I had to convert to a modern format. It isn't easy or consistent but one of these normally works:
1. Open up Word and use the File/Open command rather than just double clicking on the file. Why does this sometimes work? I don't know! Save in docx format.
2. Try opening the files in Office 2010 on a Windows machine. Again, immediately save as a docx file. This works more often than the advice above.
3. Download the free LibreOffice and try opening it there. There will be some format problems but easily fixed. Once again, save in docx format.
4. Breakdown and look for a dedicated format converter.

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.

Adding files to iWeb site using .mac

Hi
Apologies if this has been answered before but I would like to achieve the following:
I have an iWeb site published to a .mac account. I would like to add links to other files such as m3u or qtl playlists and host the mp3/mov files somewhere else in my .mac account. I have read a little about using the idisk feature to achieve this. What's the best way of proceeding?

which means you have to put any file or folder linked to in this way inside iDisk>Web>Sites??
That's correct.
Presumably that means when you publish any updates out of iWeb it leaves these files/folders alone and only updates what it needs to?
You can create folders as you like.
Just make sure you do not add a Site in iWeb with the same name as your folder. iWeb will overwrite that folder. Try it.
And do not add an index.html file of your own in the root of the Server. I have a custom index.html file. So any time I publish a Site in iWeb (by mistake) I have to make sure I replace the index.html file by iWeb with the file of my own.
But I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to do.

File upload hanging when called from another form

Hi
I have created a file upload form from the documentation I found on metalink and the form works fine on its own. I have then implemented the form into a multi form application and when the file upload form is called from another form it hangs trying to get to the client drive so that it can pick up a file. I have tried using the 'call_form', 'open_form' and 'new_form' built-ins but the results were all the same. Can anybody help me?

Can't see my files or folders when using accounts..

I have 2 MyBook USB drives that I used to have connected to my Mac Mini that I today decided to move out in the closet and connect them to my Airport Extreme. Everything works fine as long as I set "Secure Shared Disks: With base station password", but when I select "With accounts" I can't seem to see any of my files or folders when I connect to the drives. I only get an empty drive. I can even add files or folders to it, and when I revert the changes I see my old files again, but not the new ones (unless I go back again).
Anybody have a clue as to what might be wrong here?

Here is how I fixed it on my end:
First, unplugged the USB disk from AEBS and plugged in directly to my MacBookPro. Then, Get Info on the drive and selected "Shared Drive". Then, plugged it back into the AEBS and connected as a Guest.
So far, works just fine. I can see all of my files on the external USB drive that is connect to the AEBS.
Specs on my set up:
Leopard 10.5.1
MacBook Pro
AEBS Firmware 7.2.1
configured as a shared drive with Guest access (read & write)
I have spent the past 5 hours working on this issue, including a call to Apple Tech Support.

How to set "Files of type" when using a "File Browse" item.

Apex 4.0.2
Internet Explorer 7 +
I have a "File Browse" item on a page and need to limit the types of files display to just "text (.txt)" files. How can this be done? Currently, the "Files of type" list shows "All File (*.*)", "Pictures (*.gif,*.png)", and HTML (*.htm,*.html)". In the best case, I would like to not have the "Files of type" list and have the user just limited to text files. However, adding Text files (*.txt)" to the "Files of type" list is ok.
thanks,
William

Thought i'd do a bit of research after seeing Scotts wonderful ideas.
So it turns out, IE made the file item read only from version 8, for security reasons. Read more: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/07/02/ie8-security-part-v-comprehensive-protection.aspx
File Upload Control
Historically, the HTML File Upload Control (<input type=file>) has been the source of a significant number of information disclosure vulnerabilities. To resolve these issues, two changes were made to the behavior of the control.
To block attacks that rely on “stealing” keystrokes to surreptitiously trick the user into typing a local file path into the control, the File Path edit box is now read-only. The user must explicitly select a file for upload using the File Browse dialog.
Additionally, the “Include local directory path when uploading files” URLAction has been set to "Disable" for the Internet Zone. This change prevents leakage of potentially sensitive local file-system information to the Internet. For instance, rather than submitting the full path C:\users\ericlaw\documents\secret\image.png, Internet Explorer 8 will now submit only the filename image.png.To resetting the actual items, suggestions I found were to replace the actual item. So instead of using $s, I just replace the element, with the existing element, causing it to re-initialise.
var htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
function fileCheck(el){
    if(el.value){
        var validFile = false;
        var validExtensions = ["csv"];
        var filename = el.value;
        var fileExtIndex = filename.lastIndexOf(".");
        var fileExt = filename.substring(fileExtIndex+1, filename.length);
        for(i = 0; i < validExtensions.length; i++){
            if(validExtensions[i] == fileExt){
                validFile = true;
                break;
        if ( !validFile || fileExtIndex == -1) {
            alert("Invalid Extension. Permitted files must end with: " + validExtensions.toString());
            var htmlContents = el.outerHTML || new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(el);
            $('#P16_BINARY').replaceWith(htmlContents);
}(obviously, replacing what you need to, to suit your page - i prefer scotts idea of passing in supported file types in the function, so would just pass in an array instead; but this is just for demonstration)
with an onchange="checkFile(this)" on the element attributes.
On a slightly un-related note, I found out IE doesn't support the wonderful indexOf function on arrays, that checks for the existence of the value in an array. Sucks.

Ah well, jQuery is there, maybe i should use that for searching arrays in the future.

How do I drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.

Hello cacalenni,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you wish to learn how to import songs using Home Sharing in the new iTunes. The following resource should assist you in doing so:

Does Multithreading for file transfers work when using the WebDAV protocol?

I am looking at recommending an upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 for my job, but I am wondering if our server system will be able to use the multiple file upload and download feature new to CS6. If this is not available for WebDAV then there is not much of a point on the Dreamweaver side for us to upgrade.
Thanks

From the documenation:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7eb4a .html
