How can i make my normaly hidden files hidden again?

I own a 2013, 27" iMac, w/ i7 processor etc.etc. Love it, I enjoy poking and prodding about to no end. I try and buy loads of interesting apps at the App Store, in general find out what makes my OS X tick. Sometimes during my excursions I trip some wrong switches. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, it's how I've learned
many interesting techniques. However, I made a decision to change the look of my desktop and whatever I did, wound up with all my hidden OS files displayed
in any open window. I haven't been able to correct this problem yet and thus, getting a little frustrated. It happened once before but I can't remember just how I corrected this. I know there are a very few of you that have experienced this same problem once....or twice (in my case). If you could please nudge me in the right direction, you would spare me a lot of sleeplessness as well as embarrassment. Thank you in advance!!

If you've used the usual approach to enable this display, then launch Terminal.app from the Applications > Utilities folder and issue the following two commands:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
Here is a slightly fancier solution.
Have current backups of your data, if you're experimenting. There are some commands and some (easy) command mistakes that are not recoverable, short of rolling in backups.

shoo: if i had to do that for every file i get i would go insane, as scott said, post contract: files that they (sub contractor) supply you, presume them ok unless you KNOW otherwise, or a copyright flag pops up contradicting ownership.

How can I make Spotlight show the file path

How can I make Spotlight show the file path in the Spotlight menu for selected file?

Via Finder certainly, but not in the menu. You can view the file path in the Spotlight search results display by pressing the ⌘ key (while hovering over a file in the results), though. The path will display at the bottom of the Quick Look output, or cycle through that location.

How can i make quicktime play avi. files?

and also, im trying to make a music video but i dont how to select different clips from a movie.

Hello,
You can get from Microsoft, the flip4mac free player. Since Windows Media Player for Mac is no longer supported, this is the way to go.

In my opinion, it is by far the best solution for playing .avi or .wmv files, because you get all the advantages of Quicktime.

How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign

I have a 200 page book (PDF). I am trying to make a flip book to preview in web browser. How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign with the PDF I have?

There is another point:
if you are using JPEG images together with SWF as output file format, you could get smaller images by:
1. using the Export For Web menu for generating size optimized JPEGs in PhotoShop opposed to Save As JPEG
2. stripping all color management (ICC) information off the files (SWF is not very good in color management besides sRGB, I think…)

How can I make my Clock.swf file disappear?

Hi,
How can I make my Clock.swf file disappear? The following code works great for movie clips but throwing an error while using for .swf files.
Introduction_mc.visible = false; >>> This code works fine
Clock.swf.visible = false; >>>> This code throws an error (How to resolve this problem?)
Please help.

The easiest way is by targeting the Loader object.
l.visible = false;
or
removeChild(l);
will both work. And you can make it visible again if need be using the opposite of those commands.

YEA! My jurryrig worked! To all with this problem:
You CAN have podcasts in a regular playlist IF you convert them to a standard MP3 first. So, yes, a lot of manual labor
The good news: if, like me, it is a track that you listen to frequently (in my case meditations for sleep and relaxation) then the time is worth it. I will mess with automator later to see if there is anyway to script this! Then, less work for me and more for my mac.
Here are the steps:
Select the file from your Podcast folder.
Change all data you need -- "artist," "album" etc...
Make a copy of the cover art for this file by dragging it to the desktop.
Select the Advanced -> Convert ID3 Tags menu item.
Check ID3 tag version, and select "v1.0" from the drop-down menu.
Drag the file to the desktop (this will make a copy of the MP3 on the desktop)
Delete the file from the iTunes list.
Drag the copy of the file you have on the Desktop back into iTunes.
Search for the file in the Library, and add the cover art again to the file.
Now the file is out of the Podcasts folder and works like a regular MP3 file inside iTunes. You can re-add it back to playlists!

How can I make my print job go fast again?

How can I make my print job go fast again? Since february when there was a update for snow leopard, all of my print jobs almost take forever to finish.. a pdf file 10MB size will take about 1 hour to send to the printer that is a Nashuatech mp c3500.
And yes, if the pdf for example is 20MB size, it will take about 2 hours to get it done..
My equipment is:
Macbook pro OS X 10.6.8
Nashuatech NRG MPC3500

Sometimes, Software Update doesn't apply updates entirely correctly, and odd issues can happen.
You might download and install the latest combo update for 10.6.8, which is at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 . Before installing, bring up Disk Utlity (on your hard drive in applications/utilties) and repair permissions. Install the update, then repair permissions again when done.

How can i make hyperlink to local file for dowloading

How can I make hyperlink to a local file for downloading it, it seams that only www links work in web Ui.
Thanks

If we assume that you have a LabVIEW application running on your cRIO that is exposing some data through web services, there are a couple of possibilities.
You can create a web service call that returns the log data. In order for the browser to treat this as a file, you must set the correct content type in the http header. To do this you can't use the default form of data output. Instead you must create an "httpRequestID" input to your web service VI. With this you can call "Write Response.vi" to give the log data and "Set HTTP Header.vi" to specify the type (text/text probably works for a log). You can look at "examples\comm\webservices\address book\FindContacts.vi" to see an example of calling these 2 VIs. Once you create that web service entry point, you can set that as the URL of the hyperlink control and it should work.
Another option is to have the cRIO application write to a log file that is under the root of the web server running on the machine. (This is the same place the xap for your Web UI Builder application is put.) This file could then be served up through the web server just like any other file.
With either of these solutions there may be concerns about the browser caching results rather than requesting new content each time. There are additional values that can be set in the http headers with the first solution that can help with this, but I think there is still some variation between browsers.

How can I make an editable pdf file from Indesign?

I have created a Indesign dealer catalog for my company and exported it into a interactive PDF for the Engineers to use when helping a customer with ordering. Now they would like to be able to edit the PDF with notes whenever they want. How can they do this?

PDFs are not designed to be editable. Your engineers can make comments using Adobe Reader without any extra steps provided they use the highlight and sticky note comments. If you want them to have access to the full range of comment markup you will need to use Acrobat to apply extended rights to the file.

The rest must be the video. How can I get this smaller?

How can I make Firefox 4's "File Upload" window start in the same directory across all sites?

I upload webcomic image files to multiple sites every day--the same file to multiple sites--through the "File Upload" window that comes up in Firefox when you click on a site's "Browse..." file request field.
In Firefox 3 (under Windows XP), when I used Firefox's "File Upload" window to upload files, the "File Upload" window would come up showing the last directory from which I'd uploaded anything to ANY site.
In Firefox 4, on the other hand, the "File Upload" window comes up showing the last directory from which I last uploaded to that specific domain.
I'd like to know if there's an about:config setting--I couldn't find one when searching for "file," "upload," or "dir"--to revert to the Firefox 3 behavior. The reason is that now in Firefox 4, because I typically upload two files to four different web sites per day--one file to all four sites, then later in the day, a second file to all four sites--I have to switch from the first upload directory to the second upload directory in each of the four "File Upload" windows for the second file, whereas in Firefox 3 I only had to do that once. Here's how it used to go:
In Firefox 3:
# "File Upload" for file 1 at smbhax.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different location than file 2 from the previous day.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at drunkduck.com: desired local directory is already selected.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at smackjeeves.com: desired local directory is already selected.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at comicfury.com: desired local directory is already selected.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at smbhax.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different directory than file 1.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at drunkduck.com: desired local directory is already selected.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at smackjeeves.com: desired local directory is already selected.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at comicfury.com: desired local directory is already selected.
and here's how it goes under Firefox 4:
# "File Upload" for file 1 at smbhax.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different location than file 2 from the previous day.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at drunkduck.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different location than file 2 from the previous day.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at smackjeeves.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different location than file 2 from the previous day.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at comicfury.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different location than file 2 from the previous day.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at smbhax.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different directory than file 1.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at drunkduck.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different directory than file 1.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at smackjeeves.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different directory than file 1.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at comicfury.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different directory than file 1.
So basically, where under Firefox 3 I only had to browse through my directories twice per day to upload two files to four sites, under Firefox 4, I have to browse through my directories eight times per day to accomplish the same thing.

You can use the Remember Password bookmarklet: <br />
https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password <br /> ''Has worked for me when I have needed it to save a password on a web site that used autocomplete=off.'' As far as the Bug that '''cor-el''' linked, I can't remember ever running across a website that did it like that.
Or, you can use the Saved Password Editor extension, which includes a means of manually adding Username/Passwords to Firefox. <br />
