Gnome predefined places like Documents, Downloads, Videos, etc

Hi,
In distributions like openSuSE, Ubuntu, Fedora there are some predefined places in you home forlder ( Documents, Download, Music, Videos ) with cool icons. How can I easily do that in Arch?
I know that I can create those directories, drag them into nautilus places bar, set the icons for them, but it is long and needs to be redone for every user. Is there a way to make it global?
I have also an openSuSE installaltion, I can copy files from there if it is necessary.
Thank you!

All files in /etc/skel are put in new users' home directories so you can add the folders there.
Edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs (or /etc/skell/.config/user-dirs.dirs for all new users).
# Default settings for user directories
# The values are relative pathnames from the home directory and
# will be translated on a per-path-element basis into the users locale
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/.templates"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/leopard_install-setup.pdf
After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

I would like to download videos from websites faster. What do I need?

I would like videos that I see on websites to download faster. What do I need to add to my system to allow that to happen? I have an eMac G4 with 512 MB of Ram, running on OS 10.4. I use Firefox as my browser. I'm connected via cable modem running at 256 Kbps.
I was told by an Apple store employee that I needed more RAM. I read an article online from MacWorld and nowhere did they mention added RAM would help with video downloads. Any suggestions?

The primary issue for download speed is the connection to your ISP. 256 kbps is slow by today's standards if you want to download video. It's really only good enough for email and some browsing. You should be looking at a service delivering not less than 1.5 Mbps. I think your computer would cope adequately with this speed but extra RAM is certainly advantageous. The RAM is important for the processing of the video as it downloads and plays. I presume you also have an adequate hdd to keep this video on.
I have a 512 Kbps service and this is not good enough for video download - it doesn't keep up with the play speed of a video feed.

My macbook air will not play videos online, like product demo videos, etc.

My macbook air is running on OS X 10.9.5, with i5 processor, and for some unknown reason will not play videos, like short tutorial videos or demo videos for online shopping site. The enable plug-ins is on and I don't know what else to try. Never had this happen before.

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc Folders Invisible for Mobile Accounts

For some reason, when any user navigates to their home directory, most of the subfolders (Applications, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, & Public) are invisible. It's not consistent which ones can be seen: one user can see Library and Desktop, while another can see only Library. It is possible to navigate to any of the folders with the Go to Folder item in Finder's Go menu. Here are the results from listing everything in my own home directory (ls -l@):
drwx------@ 3 username staff 264 Sep 15 12:37 Desktop
com.apple.FinderInfo 32
drwx------@ 5 username staff 264 Sep 15 15:54 Documents
com.apple.FinderInfo 32
drwx------@ 4 username staff 264 Sep 15 12:37 Downloads
com.apple.FinderInfo 32
drwx------+ 27 username staff 874 Sep 17 09:24 Library
drwx------@ 3 username staff 264 Sep 15 12:37 Movies
com.apple.FinderInfo 32
drwx------@ 4 username staff 264 Sep 15 13:00 Music
com.apple.FinderInfo 32
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 username staff 264 Sep 15 15:35 New Folder
Library and New Folder are the only ones I can see in Finder. All of the invisible ones have extended attributes, but, oddly, when I navigated to one of the invisible folders in Finder and Get Info on it, there is no "invisible" checkbox in the General settings.
Here is some more info on the network setup:
Network is a Golden Triangle: our OS X server is bound to the Active Directory domain, and each client is bound both Open Directory and AD (OD has higher precedence in search policy). Network accounts are created in AD with the home folder at //osxserver.domain.local/Network Users/username (mapped to drive X:\ or Z:\ for Windows users). Accounts are imported into OD, which (through policy on each user's group) creates a mobile account at login (no prompt) using the network profile and syncs at login, logout, in background and manually. The client-side AD plugin does not force local home directories, derives network home from UNC path in AD (using AFP), and allows administration by domain admins; all other settings are default.
Any help in making all folders visible would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the results from listing everything in my own home directory (ls -l@):
Use the xattr Terminal command to clear that attribute. For usage instructions, run xattr -h.
All of the invisible ones have extended attributes, but, oddly, when I navigated to one of the invisible folders in Finder and Get Info on it, there is no "invisible" checkbox in the General settings.
That's intentional.

Is there an easy way to transfer my windows documents, videos, etc. to my new Mac Pro ? This is my first apple.

Hello:
Just got my first Mac Pro. Is there a way I can transfer my windows documents,photos, videos, etc. to my Mac Pro by myself? I live about 50 miles from the nearest Apple Store and commuting is problematic.

Apple also has a series of quick read articles on a multitude of Switch from PC to Mac subjests, available here:
http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/

I am thinking of updating to the newest version for my Mac Laptop. I have the 10.6.8 should I update to the Mountain Lion OS X? If I update will I loose all my data, like documents, music, pictures?

Wondering if I should update my Mac Notebook which is a 10.6.8 versions to the newest Mountain Lion version? What are the positive and negatives about the new version? Also if I update will I loose all the date on my computer like documents, music, pictures etc..?

First check the Compatibility of your Mac...
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
Then... Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

How download videos from web?

Hello
I would like to download videos from web, exactelly from facebook pages, but i'm not able, who can help me?

If they are flash video then there a many flash video downloaders. Do a search for "video download" on macupdate.com and you will find manu of them.
Many are specific to downloading youtube stuff. Others are more general. However, one of the most general (and overpriced) flash downloaders is Jaksta.
If the videos aren't flash, that's more of a problem, and may be specific to the kind of video it is and whether it can be downloaded. Some sites protect against this being done.

Because you can't add content, to any iPhone, that way. Done by design.

Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.

Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.
