Files shifted from User to Macintosh HD

Hey,
Yesterday I saw that some of the files normally in the 'User' home folder have been shifted into Macintosh HD. These files include 'Applications', 'Library', 'Users 'and 'System'. I wish to shift these back permanently into the User folder. The 'User' folder in there under 'places' in Finder.
I tried shifting. However it is just copying. How do I permanently shift the files?

Applications, Library, System, and Users should be in the Macintosh HD directory. If you were able to move them into your Users folder, your MBP wouldn't run at all. They are where they need to be — leave them there.

How to customize the XML file name from user entered field value when submitting

How can I customize the name of an HTTP submitted XML file from data entered by the user in a text field?
The field in question contains user identification information and would ease the sorting of files received for easy identification.

How to program shift register to read only when a new user is detected from user?

Hi,
I'm currently developing a program for position control in labview. The program is quite simple, whereby user will input the distance that he wants the table to be in the labview program, and labview will send signal to move a motor that will turn a ball screw to move a table horizontally to the targetted position. The criteria is that the profile of the motor depends on the distance it needs to move, whether a two-phase (acceleration and deceleration) or three-phase (acceleration, constant velocity, deceleration) to reach the target position.
The problem occurs when the user wants to enter a new position (second input) for the table, as the input by user is position the table needs to be but the input required to determine which profile the motor follows depends on the distance that the table will move to get to the targetted position. Therefore, I would need a function to store the input by user temporarily, and recall it only when a new input from user is detected. By this, I would be able to use the difference of the input (input [n+1] - input[n]) and feed it to determine which profile the motor follows and the input by user can be kept as the position he wants the table to travel to (to compare with encoder).
I thought of using shift registers to do this, but I am not able to make it to perform the deduction ([n+1] - [n]) only when it detects a new input. When i try using shift register, it travels to the targetted position, and one it reaches it will travel back to the original position. For example, when a user input 90, it means the table needs to move to point 90. As the shift register is initialized to 0, it will move to point 90 (90-0 = 90) but upon reaching 90, the shift register sends a signal of 90 (90-90 = 0) and the table returns to it's initial position.
Is there any way that I can delay the reading of shift register only when a new input is detected or is there another way for me to achieve what i want?
I've tried searching the discussion forum and ni website but couldn't find similar problems. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
I've managed to get what I needed by using a shift register + event structure as suggested by Adnan. However, I face another problem after implementing SR+event. I've attached two files, first the original program and second the updated program using SR + event. (it's only the jpg file as I've forgotten to save the labview program, will upload the program by tomorrow.
In the original program, I have an elapsed time that is able to run continuously when I run the program. In the updated program, my elapsed time don't seem to run continuously when I run the program (as shown by elapsed time indicator). I need the elapsed time to run continuously as a input to calculate my motor profile.
I suppose this is caused by the introduction of the event structure, will adding a case structure to wrap the event structure solve the problem or is there another way to get pass this. Appreciate if someone could drop me a pointer or two.
Thanks

Transferring files from users mashines on the server. Uploading with applet

I'm trying to create applet that would do uploading of user file on the server.
I'm woundering, Is there any ways to use java applet to open a file on user mashine into a stream and transfer it thought socket into
server? Is there any good solution that do uploading with java applet? (I can't use CGI or PHP)
I just noticed that applets don't support FileInputStream. How could I in general get information from user file?
Ok. Thanks for ideas that you gave me. But there are useless. All that I can use is only HTTP. Unfortunately no FTP, no Web Start application.
looking for help

well, i don't work a lot with applets because of their inherent limitations. but my guess would be that you have to somehow use a signed applet. of course that doesn't help with the FileInputStream problem you are talking about.
if i were going to do it and i couldn't use FTP, i'd write a WebStart app that calls servlets (sending it byte arrays) and the servlets will construct the files on the server...
i have no clue how you are going to do what you want...

how to convert amount from flat file format to user specific format.
input: 1000.00
output: 1.000,00 (user specific)
thanks in advance

move that value to a type WRBTR variable
and use write statement.
data v_wrbtr type wrbtr.
data v_char(20).
v_wrbtr = 1000.
write v_wrbtr to v_char.
v_char will contain the amount in user format.
Prerequsite, go to SU3 transaction.
Defaults tab, chose the decimal notation .

Get input from user and create a file and run a script in command line.

Hi all,
i'm trying to get a input from user and write it into a file named alpe.jacl
To get multiple userinputs like address and jobtitle etc etc in the same single window.
and the code will save the inputs in alpe.jacl one by one in a new line like
nameis name
address russia
jobtitle dev
So i coded like below.
Though GUI for user input looks dull Its working fine.
Now I want this code to perform one more task which is the GUI will contain one more button INSTALL with OK and CALCEL .
and when after putting all inputs and creating the alpe.jacl file if someone clicks INSTALL it should start ./install.sh script present at the same folder which contains some unix shell commands.
Here am not able to figure out how to go further...
One more thing after all the inputs given when I am clicking on the OK button its closing the window instantly which i dont want. I want it like it should wait till someone press CANCEL to exit.
Please some one help me.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
public class file
public static void main(String []args)throws IOException
FileWriter ryt=new FileWriter("alpe.jacl");
BufferedWriter out=new BufferedWriter(ryt);
JTextField wsName = new JTextField();
JTextField sName = new JTextField();
JTextField cName = new JTextField();
Object[] message = {    "Web Server Name:", wsName,"Server Name:", sName,"Cluster Name:", cName};
int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(    null, message, "Enter values", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
if (answer == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION){    String webserver = wsName.getText();
String server = sName.getText();
String cluster = cName.getText();
out.write("set webservername " +wsName.getText()+"\n");
out.write("set ClusterName " +cName.getText()+"\n");
out.write("set ServerName " +sName.getText()+"\n");
out.close();
}}Thanks,
Ricky

Thanks a lot.
Is there any way through which i can assign a scroll bar to my panel.
As when the number of user inputs grows the GUI becomes more bulky and some of the fields are not showing up.
Cheers

Color shift when converting .mov file exported from Macromedia Flash

I'm trying to convert quicktime file exported from Flash into any other format using Quicktime Pro 7.0.4 and I get substantial color shift. Here's the picture:
http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1518/screen3ov.jpg
On the the left is the initial file, and on the right is what I get. I've tried all codecs setting (targa, jpeg2000, animation) but no luck. Please help!

I am in the midst of trying to figure out the opposite : Flash to After Effects. I am betting that this is an issue of 'color profile' attached to the images and the gamma settings in that profile. RGBA is only part of the story - color profile is all the rest of it. Eye Dropper doesn't tell you the color profile attached to the image.

Uploading a file from user's local machine and put it in oracle table

Hello All experts,
I have a requirement such that the file from User's local machine needs to be uploaded and the custom oracle table needs to be populated.
Any answers how to do this?Sounds challanging right?
Thanks
Kumar

Have a look at attachments API, since this also does the same thing except that it puts the file in fnd_lobs instead of the custom table.
Thanks

How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different. You need to get the apps in sync. Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating). Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

Spotlight permission issue with multiple users - user A can search files from user B

Hello everybody,
i need your help with a bad and precarious spotlight issue.
Mavericks is a clean install on my 2010 MacPro and Everything runs fine - but this issue is very annoying.
User A is admin - user B a normal user.
The Problem:
If user B uses spotlight in his account, he also gets the search results from files of User A.
This meens the files in the user folder from User A and also the files on his own extra hard-drive.
For Example to get it clear to you:
On the Desk of User A is a file called "birthday-presents.rtf".
User B searches in his Spotlight "birthday" - now he gets as a result also this file from User A.
He can not open it at all - but he can se it in the spotlight search results.
This also affects the mails, calendars etc.....
This is of course very bad to User A - because his file-names aren't secure anymore.
But also User B has a problem - because his Spotlight results are much longer with a lot files he don't want to see because this files are not his ones.
What can i do?
I rebuilded the spotlight index, but this does not help.
Permissions also seem to be OK - here is a screenshot (german, but i think you catch it).

No there was no migration.
Its a complete Clean install - i only copies Files, Mailboxes, etc. manually.
Here is the result of your advise - is it OK?

Files in other user account are restricted to admin account...

Hi everyone.
2 weeks ago, I've created a user account for my wife on my Mac Mini for iphone syncing purposes. My account is admin and hers is standard. Everything works great except restricted access to files.
Besides regular Time Machine backups, I manually back up the iTunes, Address Book and iCal files on an external drive.
Files on my user "side" are no problem, but when I try to access the files from Macintosh HD/Users/Wife path, I get all these folders with a small red "No Entry" sign just like the traffic one.
I click "Get Info" and see that only my wife's user acc has "Read and Write", everyone is marked as "No access" and I'm not even there.
Funny thing is, system asks for my permission to do the changes, but I'm not listed.
What I do so far is to click "Get Info", go to permissions, unlock (a window pops up with my name as admin and I have to enter my main pass), add my name to the permitted users list, change it from "Read Only" to "Read & Write".
Repeating these steps for each folder is becoming a bore. Can anyone give me a shortcut where I can have access to all files on any user account?

Kappy,
I think you've misunderstood my point. My wife has her own netbook and uses my PC at home just for syncing her phone. Reason is I'm the able one with computing related issues and she is distant to Mac.
I created the user account for her, but she is the one who insisted on not having admin privileges as she wanted to avoid changing sth irreversibly by mistake.
I log into her account for backup, but spend a lot of time moving media files from my locations to her itunes folders. That's when I need access to those restricted folders.
Security in our household is not an issue as my trustworthiness is a BIG yes-yes.
Now, apart from your guidance on moral issues and appropriate log-in 101, thank you for your clarification.
Regards
