Folder Shares cant log in and put files

Might be a stupid question, but I am restoring a heap of files back from an old server to a new server, into a shared folder thats within the OSX server "Groups" folder ... when I log in as an admin on the machine to dump the files back into Groups/group name/shared folder All I see inside the Groups folder are all the group names BUT with a red icon on the folder , wont let me into the group names and their contained shared folders ??
all I want to do is put back all the users shared files from an old server onto the new server and their new shared folder inside their group name

Have you checked the permissions? Sometimes you will need to change the permissions to let you see something and work with it, and then change it back so that your users can use it.
It might be easiest to do this in Terminal. If you are not familiar with Terminal and command line functions like sudo, chown, and chmod, now is the time to read up on them and learn how they work. Used properly, those tools will greatly speed up the process, though they should be used with care.
Good luck!

Automator: Create folder from suffix of filename and put file names with same suffix into folder

I've been using a script to use automator to create a folder from the filename and put that file into it the folder just created.
I have a bunch of files that have similar names to them, but I don't want every file to be put into its own folder, instead I want all files with the same suffix (001) to go into the same folder. I would also like the folder name to just be named the same as the suffix (001) instead of the full file name.
For example all of these files names that end with the same integer (001) should be dumped into the same folder named "001":
Boston_ProRes422_1920x1080_24p_Audio_001
Boston_ProRes422_3840x2160_24p_Audio_001
Boston_ProRes422_3840x2160_24p_RAW_Audio_001
Boston_ProRes422_1920x1080_24p_Audio_002
Boston_ProRes422_1920x1080_24p_Audio_005
Boston_ProRes422_1920x1080_24p_Audio_010
Any help at all would be incredible!!
Thanks!
Here's the script I'm using right now:
on run {input, parameters} -- create folders from file names and move
set output to {} -- this will be a list of the moved files
repeat with anItem in the input -- step through each item in the input
set {theContainer, theName, theExtension} to (getTheNames from anItem)
try
set destination to (makeNewFolder for theName at theContainer)
tell application "Finder"
move anItem to destination
set the end of the output to the result as alias -- success
end tell
on error errorMessage -- duplicate name, permissions, etc
log errorMessage
# handle errors if desired - just skip for now
end try
end repeat
return the output -- pass on the results to following actions
end run
to getTheNames from someItem -- get a container, name, and extension from a file item
tell application "System Events" to tell disk item (someItem as text)
set theContainer to the path of the container
set {theName, theExtension} to {name, name extension}
end tell
if theExtension is not "" then
set theName to text 1 thru -((count theExtension) + 2) of theName -- just the name part
set theExtension to "." & theExtension
end if
return {theContainer, theName, theExtension}
end getTheNames
to makeNewFolder for theChild at theParent -- make a new child folder at the parent location if it doesn't already exist
set theParent to theParent as text

on error errorMessage -- no folder
log errorMessage
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at theParent with properties {name:theChild}
return the result as alias
end try
end makeNewFolder

Thanks Neil for the response! That script didn't work, but I did get it to work with my old script by changing "set TheName to" numbers different. Here's my final script which creates folders named "001", "002", and so forth and dumps in the files that end in that same suffix in the matching folder.
on run {input, parameters} -- create folders from file names and move
set output to {} -- this will be a list of the moved files
repeat with anItem in the input -- step through each item in the input
set {theContainer, theName, theExtension} to (getTheNames from anItem)
try
set destination to (makeNewFolder for theName at theContainer)
tell application "Finder"
move anItem to destination
set the end of the output to the result as alias -- success
end tell
on error errorMessage -- duplicate name, permissions, etc
log errorMessage
# handle errors if desired - just skip for now
end try
end repeat
return the output -- pass on the results to following actions
end run
to getTheNames from someItem -- get a container, name, and extension from a file item
tell application "System Events" to tell disk item (someItem as text)
set theContainer to the path of the container
set {theName, theExtension} to {name, name extension}
end tell
if theExtension is not "" then
set theName to text -5 thru -((count theExtension) + 4) of theName -- just the name part
set theExtension to "." & theExtension
end if
return {theContainer, theName, theExtension}
end getTheNames
to makeNewFolder for theChild at theParent -- make a new child folder at the parent location if it doesn't already exist
set theParent to theParent as text
if theParent begins with "/" then set theParent to theParent as POSIX file as text
try
return (theParent & theChild) as alias
on error errorMessage -- no folder
log errorMessage
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at theParent with properties {name:theChild}
return the result as alias

Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts

Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts?

Sure. No problem.
Be aware that ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.
Minor nuisance if you choose to update apps from inside the computer's iTunes. If you're logged into the "wrong" account, it's necessary to log out/in to do the update. It's easier if you update from the iPod itself. No need to log out/in but you do need to know the password for the ID.

I need to "reboot" my iMac. Cant log in, profile account file(s) problably missing

I was deleting some applications etc. on my iMac when the screen suddenly toned down
and a message said that i had to restart the computer (by holding the power-button).
After that I cant log onto my account. This message pops up;
"You are unable to log in to the FileVault user account "daniel" at this time.
Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred"
So I guess that I must have managed to delete some file that belonged to the "daniel profile".
This is mainly a problem since this is the only account on the computer with no Guest-
account activated either. Since their is no option to create a new account at the start-up
dashboard... well.. you see my problem.
So what I have done so far is to try a Safe Boot. The support page here on this site said
that this will include a automatic disc check and repair.. However Im not sure if that
worked at all because i still had to (try) to log onto the Daniel profile which didnt work.
And no difference was made after restarting again.
I have no Mac OS X Install Disc avaliable at the moment, hopefully its still around somewhere.
Since i didnt live where I live now when i got the iMac its problably in my former home
(parents).. Not an option right at this very moment.
So instead i am now moving on to the Single User Mode and Fsck. I write the
whole /sbin/fsck -fy and i do get a FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED message (one time),
even goes for some more rounds just in case.
I reboot but the problem is still there.
So instead i tried to create another user through the Fsck with
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Which take me to the initial set-up screen however i can now not pass the
screen where you choose language (i click a language and the screen goes black
for a sec and then it turns back to the language screen again)
So i do "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone" and is now back to where i started..
Im thinking that maybe deleting the user ("rm - R /users/username") would
be something that might work.. but then again i dont know..
Also im starting to think that some of the problem is in that i changed the account username
it says "Namn" at the login screen but as i wrote "Namn" cant be find in the system,
but the old one "(Daniel") does.
... Any ideas? Is there anything I can do? Will the CD work? If i dont find the CD can i get another one?
Does your average computer store has knowledge about things like these?

Apple Store should be able to help, I doubt just any computer store will know how.
Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

I am connected to my remote server and "put files" but the web page files do not update, whats going on?

I really can't figure this out:
So I use a different computer at school for web design, I bought Dreamweaver to work on it at home, I get the files fine from the server that I uploaded at school but then I make changes at home computer and connect and "put" them and I check online and the web page doesn't change one bit.
I don't have the exact file extensions from the computer at school but when I connect and get I have a similar folder(s) set up and then it downloads them into Dreamweaver file manager box and makes the folders there I downloaded. The site shows up fine in Dreamweaver after I "get" so great I thinking.
But... not so fast, I change the page in Dreamweaver, preview n a browser and look right on so I "put", connect to server and upload. Then I check online an its still the same I uploaded the CSS and HTML and dependent files by dragging over and also using the up arrow "put" as well but nothing changes on the web page online.
What is happening here I am so confused?
Thanks a bunch, I mean I can still preview as I go but I really curious why my "put" files don't change my web page like at all!

Have you tried refreshing the browser, or deleting the browser cache?

How to stop even administrator from coping any folder for example "c:\TempFolder" and its files in windows.

Hi Guys
I wanted to restrict windows users on desktop machines from coping folders and its files which my web services are pushing for trial purpose. i tried doing it through power shell but administrator of desktop can change the ACL permissions and can make a
copy.
is their any other way available in windows.
i feel at application level its difficult to handle.
the question is "Can we handle it through some kernel mode program like filter driver". if yes could some one please throw some more light on this.
regards
Mukesh VAshisth

You have some serious challenges here, since you say copying the folder and its files. There is no concept of a
Copy Operation in a Windows file system, all you will see are reads and writes. You stated it would be difficult to handle at the application level, it is worse to handle in the kernel.
Go the http://www.osronline.com and ask this question on the NTFSD list, that is where the file system experts hang out. Before asking search the archives for copy, you will find a lot of explanation on why this
is hard.
You should look whether there is someway to restrict the use of data to a limited time, if these are programs find a commercial copy protect solution, if this is data, can you wrap things such that the data is encrypted unless your application decrypts it
for use?

Can't I use the TimeCapsule-harddrive as a "nas-sverver" and put files there to share within my home network?

I was told at a store that I could use the Time Capsule as a "nas-server" and share files within my home network. Isn't that possible? I cant move files from my computer to the Time Capsule. Is it only when I'm connecting another external harddrive by usb that it works? My 3 tb is kind of useless if that´s so.
/Andreas, Sweden

We recommend against it..
But you can do it.. simply make sure that file sharing in the TC is working and turn on the guest account.
What computers or devices are you having issues accessing the TC?
It does need the occasional reboot.. maybe daily.. to give it a swift kick and wake up.
If you are running lion.. please install the 5.6 utility which you will find makes life much easier.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
The issue is, the TC has no way of backing itself up. And TM cannot backup a network drive.. so any files that are only on the TC are going to be lost if it breaks down.. which one day it will.
Please do consider what it is designed to do..
Q3 here is a good place to start.

How do I install Rosetta Stone onto my Macbook running OSX 10.8 when installing it I go into the folder called For MAC Users and the files in there are .exe files which cant be open on a Mac. If anyone has a solution or even a download link let me know.

This is really frustrating please let me know I looked around and all the downloads cost money and I would prefer if you guys could give me a free one but a solution would be even better!!
Thanks

You have the Windows version of the software. You will need to contact Rosetta Stone directly to get the Mac version of their software. I can confirm it does install on Mountain Lion without issues.

Lost my Hard Drive and putting files back on Hard Drive

I went to my website and FTP the files with FileZilla FTP. Now that the files are back on my hard drive, how do I get them back on my Dreamweaver CS5 area.

Do as SnakeEyes stated, you will have to set-up a new site(s) with dreamweaver. Go to Site/New site and set it up.
Under:
Site
Site Name"what ever you want to identify this site
Local Site Folder: This is where the files are on your local computer
Servers
Remote Server: This is the information from GoDaddy (ftp, etc)
Testing Server: What you are using for testing, could be GoDaddy
One that is completed, then it should work.
Jim
On a follow up, once you get this set up correctly, go to site/manage sites/ export the settings and store it on a flash drive, burn to disk or someplace off your computer to save these settings. Anytime you change the site, repeat so you have the most current information.

DREAMWEAVER putting files in wrong folder

Our webhost ATT made a big server switch. I've made all the changes required to point Dreamweaver in the right direction, but the files I try to "put" on our website are going to a hidden folder and not on the active site. I've spent loads of time talking to ATT tech support and they say that the changes need to be made in Dreamweaver. I know enough about Dreamweaver to change and 'put' files on our site. HELP! This folder has to be updated frequently as we sell tickets for performances online.

OK, I think that still used the CS4 style menus...
1. Verify you have your site definition open. From the Files window (F8 if it's not open) in DW, make sure you have the site name showing in the left hand drop down and Local View in the right hand menu at the top. Below those will be your toolbar starting with Connect and ending with Expand. Below that will be all of your site files, which should look something like...
Where your site should say something like...
Site - YourAwesomeSite (whatever you named your site in DW)
     -htdocs
          -index.html
          +css
          +fonts
          +pages
          etc...
          etc...
2. If your site looks like the YourAwesomeSite example above, where everything shows up under the htdocs folder, all you need to do is click and drag the files out of htdocs and drop them on the MyAwesomeSite level. DW will ask you to update links, click Update or Yes. Delete the now empty htdocs folder.
3. Test the pages
4. If everything is working in Preview, Go to your settings: Site > Manage Sites > click the site you are working on > Edit
5. Under the Advanced tab, click Remote Info and make sure /public is in your Host Directory (it might also be called Root Directory or Server Root maybe). If you had to add it, click Apply or Save or Done, whichever one is there. Close the settings window and the Manage Sites Dialogue
6. Click the Expand button in the Files window. That will make it take up the whole screen and place your remote view on one side and local on the other.
7. Hit connect. If everything is set up correctly, you should only see the public folder and its contents on the Remote View side. If you see anything else at the top of the file list for remote view, your FTP info is not set up correctly.
8. If you are seeing the public folder and its contents only, go ahead and click Put to put the entire site to that folder.
That should do it.

New PC-do I need to transfer Itunes library files (itl and xml files?)

Hi gang,
I followed the Itunes tutorial for Windows and moved my Itunes music library to a EHD as it was filling up my laptop. I left the itl and xml library files on the laptop hard drive as instructed.
However, this laptop is a work PC and if I change jobs I will need to download a new version of Itunes to the new PC. I know how to import the files from the EHD but my question is the following:
1. Do I need to back up the itl and xml library files to the EHD before I give back the work PC? It seems likely since they contain info about the playlists.
2. Once I download Itunes on the new PC would I just copy the library files onto the hard drive or can they remain on the EHD?
It sounds like (from reading some info from Chris CA) that I need to make a copy of the Itunes folder (which includes the itl and xml files) from the laptop hard drive and put it on the EHD inside the EHD Itunes folder. Then with the new PC load a new version of Itunes and hold the shift key when launching. Then I would select the library from the EHD.
Is that correct?
Thanks!
Any help would be appreciated as I cannot find anything on this in Itunes help or the forum.

Assuming you start with a standard configuration which is:
The iTunes folder in My music on your c: drive and all your music in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder on the c: drive.
Starting from there, with iTunes closed, you copy the iTunes folder to an external drive, this also copies the music in the iTunes Muisc folder.
To move to a new PC, you install iTunes, then you drag your new iTunes folder to the desktop, then you replace it by copying the iTunes folder from the external drive.
With this set up you can also run entirely on the EHD if you want to. Just start iTunes with the shift key held down, navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive an choose iTunes Library.itl. This could be useful if you want to dake the EHD to work.
If you are not starting from the default position I described, some adjustments would have to be made, but it would need an exact descripition of how your folders are set up at the moment.
