How can I read my disks like windows explorer let's me?

New to iMac and apple .... says my start up disk is full .... how can I view my disk space and programs aka windows explorer style?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combinationshift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How can i make firefox look like windows explorer?

i'm using a custom explorerframe.dll in windows explorer. Now I want the firefox navigation bar(back and forward buttons; address bar) to look exactly the same. Is there a script(userchrome.css) that can do this automatically or do i have to port the style and make my own theme?

Right-click the Menu bar and click to de-select the Menu bar.

How can I create tree menu (like windows explorer) in Portlet

On my page I need a portlet which will be a tree menu (expandable and collapsable).Items in the menu are just URLs.
EG: Main menu
SubMenu1
-Item11
-Item12
-Item13
Submenu2
-Item21
-Item22
-Item23
I crated a menu portlet in 9iAS portal R2, But it is not able to expand or collaps inside the same region.
When I clik on Submenu1 it open a new window and Items are dispayed on window. I do not want that, I need to see all items in a submenu at the portal region itself, then when I clik on that Item(URL) I wiil get that new page/file as per the URL.
On the menu portel design/layout screen of Oracle9iAS portal, it looks good (with exand/collaps), I want the exact same functionality for the menu on my page region.
Please give me a quick answer

Hi,
This is not possible with Portal right now. You can run the menu as a tree by clicking on the frame view icon at runtime of the menu in the full page mode. This is not possible on the page.
Thanks,
Sharmila

How can i tidy up folders in windows explorer and have the new names etc recognized by itunes?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have spent quite a while searching how to do this...
For example: In Windows Explorer, 2 different R.E.M. cd's have come up as different artists names, R.E.M and R.E.M_
Although in iTunes they are both displayed correctly, there are many, many other examples.
One more - a Celtic Box set with 4 cd's... 1-3 are in a 'Various' folder, and cd 4 is in a 'Compilation' folder.
It's not the end of the world, but it's driving me a bit mad, as my ocd is starting to kick in!!
Does anyone have any tips please?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to AD!
Is your new laptop Vista, and the older desktop XP?
If so, they have different paths to the default library.
On XP, it's c:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
On Vista, it's C:\Users\ username \Music\iTunes\iTunes Music

How can I do the same as Windows Explorer with datemodified:11/6/2013 .. 11/13/2013 showing only changed files with path in tree and NOT every folder along the way as Finder seems to do by default? Thanks!

I'm an Apple newbie.
I'd like to be able to list each file in the "Desktop" tree (ie; on the desktop, or in any folder on the desktop, etc.), along with its path, that has been modified since a certain date.
When I use Finder to do a similar search, I get tons of output including every folder in the path to the modified file, etc. Although I can view the path to the individual files in the output, I can't for example, order the output by path, etc. Very difficult to sort through. I'd love to have output like the example above - just the filename and path for each changed file. Possible? Thanks in advance!

The file structure is a little complex. I will use inbox as an example.
Inbox (a large file with no file extension)
Inbox.msf ( An index of inbox with tags etc. Can be deleted with only loss of tags)
Inbox.sdb (a folder, indicating that the folder within Thunderbird has a sub folder.
POP mail is stored in
Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/[Server name]/
Local folder is stored in
Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/Local Folders/
As long as you do not overwrite, you can copy and paste whole folder trees into local folders (stuff on your old computer under a mail account is best relocated to local folder and then sorted as necessary afterwards.
Note that you should delete foldertree.json after making those sorts of copies (it forces a full refresh of the folder tree, no cache) and under no circumstances copy data with Thunderbird running. It can irrevocably corrupt things

HT5098 How can I read on my Apple Arabic files of Times New Roman or Arial in PC? when I get the files the Arabic letters are separate and not joined. Is there a common font in Arabic that can convert the PC Windows files to my Apple?

How can I read on my Apple Arabic files of Times New Roman or Arial fonts made in PC? when I get the files the Arabic letters are separate and not joined. Is there a common font in Arabic that can convert the Arabic PC Windows files to my Apple?
The same with email messages ,
And when I get Power Point files made in PC Windows, they are like PDF, not Power Point!
Anybody with a good suggestion?

Yewtree wrote:

Do not use MS Word for Mac, it does not support Arabic. Instead use Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer or OpenOffice. Try the font Geeza Pro if others do not work.

How can I read emails that have been moved onto my local hard disk?

Hallo Everyone,
I had some emails in my local folders. I moved my local folders to a new drive. There are now none of my local folders in TB. I used TB and found the messages through the profile, but I cannot read them, they are not displayed as messages they seem like txt files. How can I read those messages as I need to print out some of the information.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Russ Kent

What was the reason to start messing with this in the first place? It's not recommended, unless you know exactly what you're doing.
I'd just revert the change, and you should be good to go again.

How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

You have several options.
1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there. A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.

2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs. The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

3. Use Wine / Winebottler to run the Application without the need for a complete Windows installation.

How can I develop co-broswing on Windows platform with java language?

How can I develop co-broswing on Windows platform with java language?
The function will be realized
Now I want to develop a co-broswing system with java language on Windows platform.That is to say I will develop
a application run on client to track the present browser.Wheh the URL address of your present if changed(for example
when you click a link or submit a form),the application will capture the new URL address and send it to the other
client that make co-browsing connect with you.The browser on the other client side will catch the new URL and refesh
the page to show the page.
The question I fall across and want to ask you
(1)How to watch system process with java on the Windows platform?Because I want to get the process information of
the present broswer,and then get the URL address of the present broswer.
(2)Develop an application to watch the URL address of the present broswer continuance,If the URL address is changed,
then send the new URL address to the client on the other side,let his broswer to show the new page using the new URL.

Paulc, A proxy server is not the right thing.
What our man here is looking for is a solution for two
users to kind of surf the net "in tandem" - when one
user navigates to a different web page, so does the
other user,
These are typically used in call center applications
where the advisor guides a caller through , say
filling in an insurance form or pointing him to the
right product specification pages.
Xing, why are you using Java for this ? You need
something that has better windows integration. If you
look on MSDN.microsoft.com and search for "explorer
bar" you will find solutions to the questions that you
raised.
There are also commercial products on the market that
already do this kind of stuff. there is one from
www.genesyslabs.com which is considered to be the best
of breed.
It is difficult or almost impossible to do this in
Java for a commercial application.
If you are developing this as an academic exercise,
give it a try. Post your email address here, and I
will contact and help you out if you like.my e-mail is below ,I want to contact you and need all of your help.

How can I see the disk in airport extreme

Hello
I have an airport extreme, I downloaded the Airport Utility, I connected the printer and everyting is fine, I can access the printer from other computers at home. Then I unplugged the printer and connected an USB disk (working of course), and everything is fine, Airport Utility detected it. However, I dont know how can I access the disk from the computers. I have all windows 7 computers at home, but now way to see the disk. What I am doing wrong
thank your

I don't use this setting, so can't offer much assistance, but do know that your computer is exposed to the Internet, so it will receive all inbound traffic.
Normally, a typical use of Default Host would be to setup a game console to allow online gaming when NAT settings otherwise would not allow communications to occur.
You might want to start a new post for your question...but to get informed responses....you will need to state what you are trying to do. what steps you have performed, etc.

HT1391 How can I read and print digital booklets that are downloaded togheter with the recordings I purchased

How can I read and print digital booklets that are downloaded togheter with the albuns I bought?

cu is right.
classloader returns the URL of your resource. You can the jar using something like the following...
ClassLoader classloader = this.getClassLoader();
url = classloader.getResource("your_resouces...");
if(url == null)
System.out.println("cannot find resource ");
return null;
String jar = url.getFile();
jar = jar.substring(jar.indexOf("/")+1, jar.lastIndexOf("!")).replace('/', '\\');
obviously, this code snippet works on windows only. Now you have the jar file path. I use Jar file classes to access the jar file. (e.g. you can search for each class files)

You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(bInput);
^

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
1. Excel File is on My PC.
2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
Note: This directory is on the server.
2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
p_filepath in varchar2
) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
input_file utl_file.file_type;
--declare a buffer to read text data
input_buffer varchar2(4000);
begin
--using the UTL_FILE in built package
input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
--debug
--dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
utl_file.fclose(input_file);
--return data
return input_buffer;
end;
Hope this helps.
