How do I navigate to this file

I need to do the below action, but I am not sure where to start.
Navigate to /usr/local/clamXav/share/clamav/ and drag mirrors.dat to the trash. You'll need to authenticate it with an admin password

Hi,
The very first folder, /usr, is right at the top level of your HD (Macintosh HD>usr), but you can't normally see it there because it has an "invisible" flag. Once you do get into /usr you should be able to navigate normally from there.
You can open a window into /usr by again using the Go to Folder command:
Finder menu>Go>Go to Folder
enter /usr and click GO
from there you should be able to navigate via Finder as usual.
Alternatively, you could first enable Finder to show all invisible files and folders, and then just double-click on the Macintosh HD icon. You will then be able to see usr, and navigate from there. There are many ways to make hidden files visible and then hide them again; an easy way is to use the Finder tab in the freeware utility [TinkerTool|http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html].

    You can't edit a file with PDF Pack, but you should be able to convert it to a Word document, and if you are really lucky edit THAT and make a new PDF. Don't expect too much though!

  • I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

    I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
    You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.<br />
    A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":<br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
    You may need to add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

  • How do I re-hide this file called "private"

    A file called "private", which is supposed to be invisible, has suddenly become visible. How do I make this file invisible again? 

    Arthur wrote:
    You can do this in Terminal.
              1.          open a terminal window (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
              2.          change to the directory where the private folder is. For example, it looks like it is in your HD, so that would be:
              cd /
        Once you are in that directory, type this:
              mv "private" ".private"
    Note the period before the second one. You have to enter the commands exactly as written.
    Then Neil wrote:
    Use the following Terminal command:

    This folder is necessary for Mac OS X to operate and shouldn't be renamed or deleted.

  • How do I get/unarchive this file...?

    I erased my hardrive from my powerbook G4 about a year ago. I thought I archived/saved the files I needed, but idiot me, didn't check to see what got saved and found out the archive failed less than half way through.
    I had the files on my idisk/webpage but again, idiot me did no renew my account and the files are gone. (also about a year or more ago)
    I found a file and was wondering if someone could help...
    Does anyone know what this is? oR how I can see the files saved in it??
    RestoreCatalog-iDisk.cat.gz
    ANY information pretaining to this filel or any way of getting back files would help (I tried Filesalvage already). All the programs seem to just recover current media... I have yet to find one that actually does what it says: recover erased hardrive...
    THANKS

    Cloe:
    I don't know much about iDisk as I have never had a subscription. In terms of recovering data from your erased HDD, it is an exceedingly long shot but Dr. Smoke's FAQ Data Recovery offers many helpful suggestions.
    Please do post back if you have further questions.
    Good luck.

  • How do i "navigate between open files" in the same app

    Is there a shortcut to moving between multiple files I have open in the same app?

    Command-tilde (~) will cycle you through all open windows in the active application. (This is the same key combination as recommended by Listen Inn.)
    Command-tab will cycle you through open applications, from most recently opened back.
    Depending on your machine and OS version, you may also be able to use F3, or squeeze the two side buttons on the Mighty Mouse to show all open windows, then click the one you want to bring it to the front.

  • Folder navigation. How do you navigate up the file directory when you didnt navigate down?

    If i search a file in finder and then i want to see what folder and go to that folder how do you do that? In windows you can click the drop down button that shows the entire directory path but there doesnt seem to be any similar function in the finder window. You can click the back button to go back up the tree if you got there by navigating down but if you went directly to the file form a search there doesnt seem to be any way to go up the path.

    To add to CT...
    or... using the path bar.

  • How to avoid creation of _(file.*), coping from tiger to pc?

    how to avoid the creation of this file for ever on a pc environment??
    I explain: as i copy any image file, it goes to a spooler directory and that begins instantly to process the file to an OPI server, separating CMYK channels, converting it to high and low resolution...
    but as this _(file) is created (same name and extension, but 0Kb and with this _ underscore in the beggining of it name), it begins to process it, and as it really does not exists as an image itself, it crashes the OPI server, forcing us to restart it...
    and then, you can imagine the mess, because we're a newspaper, with more than 100 machines logged in two cities simultaneously...
    thanks for those who replied last topic I posted about some softwares to delete it! it really worked!!
    but now, can anyone have a clue how to DON'T create this file?
    thanks in advance!

    I believe that command is supposed to stop the creation .DS_Store files on servers. Also, I think the plist file gets written to the user ~/Library/Pref, it probably ought to exist both there and in the /Library/Pref folder to really work.
    I didn't think the Save for Web option would work for your purposes. I don't believe anything will work except to strip the resource fork off the files before you send them. There is an Applescript that will do it, using a UNIX command in the script. You select a folder, run the Applescript, and it strips the resource fork off all files in the folder and creates a sub-folder called Stripped with resourceless copies of the files in the original:
    -- Strip resource fork and metadata in Tiger for one file.
    -- If a folder is selected creates an unresourced subfolder of the selected folder
    tell application "Finder"
         try
              set aFile to the selection as alias
              set aFolder to the container of aFile
         on error
              display dialog "Select a file"
              return
         end try
         set aFile to the quoted form of POSIX path of aFile
         do shell script "rsync -a " & aFile & " " & aFile & "Stripped; mv " & aFile & "Stripped " & aFile
         update aFolder
    end tell
    The "do shell script" line must be all a single line in Script Editor. It might wrap funny in the browser. Anyway, copy it, paste into Script Editor, hit compile, and save it as an application. I've only fooled with it a little tiny bit, so I'm not sure whether the rsync process would have any strange effects on complex Photoshop and EPS files or not.
    As far as I know the only way to send Mac files without resource forks to a server is to strip them from the files.

  • How can I copy Pages/Numbers files to my laptop?

    I just bought the Pages and Numbers programs from the App Store, but I haven't yet figured out how to copy a finished document from iPad to my MacBook Pro. I tried GMail in both Safari and Opera Mini, but I couldn't find a choice to send attachments. (And if I find it, how do I navigate to these files?)
    I read something about saving Pages files to some kind of drive..an I Drive, I think. What's that all about?
    I have Pages version 3.0.3 on my MacBook Pro. I can copy the text into an e-mail, but I'd like to attach the entire document, so I can preserve the styles.
    Thanks.

  • Output from this file

    Hi,
    just i want how will atomatically output form this file to todays date file .
    I have create daily report so how will you copu following output to to todays date.txt file copy.
    DATECOMP=`date '+%d%m%Y'`
    DATECOMP1=`date '+%y%m%d%k%M'`
    DATECOMP2=`date -d "-1 day" '+%d%m%Y'`

    Surely I agree with Pavan here that I amnot able to "exactl" understand the need or question. But I guess you want a daily report sort of thing. Make up a shell script and then configure it with DBMS_SCHEDULER.We don't know that youhave 10g or not but still I am just taking a guess that you have. Than using UTL_FILE ,maintain the o/s file the way you want.

  • TS1717 unes, i have windows 8, i get the message, "the itunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.  how did this happen, how do i fix this?

    the message"The itun, library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file". i have windows 8. how why did this happen? how do i correct this and prevent another occurance?  I am able to access itunes on my i5, ipad, and my old i4 that i use solely as my ipod now. At the time  problem occurred, i was connected to ext hard drive that hold over 190GB music, to add to my library. I am now unable to add to my library using my laptop.  any advise/help is greatly appreciated!!

    I just had the same problem and was able to fix it after trying a couple of things I found after a search.
    The solution that worked for me:
    Find iTunes folder - it should be in C:\Program FIles (x86) or similar depending on your operating system
    Right click the entire folder (no need to open it) and click properties
    Click the security tab
    Click edit and highlight the user name under which you logged in.
    Click the box next to full in the allow column, which should check everything
    Click apply
    Open iTunes
    This worked for me.

  • How To Fix: "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."

    I can't reopen my iTunes after I have to force quit when it does not respond. I get this message:
    "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
    I've read to do the solutions. I right clicked on both the iTunes and Music folder and went to info for each. On both the lock at the bottom of the Get Info was locked. All of my users including admin can read and write all files within those folders. They are even a shared folder. I clicked on the lock to unlock it, typed in my admin password, and went to the gear to apply to all files inside. After doing that I keep getting the saved message.
    I tried another way that I've found online to move my ituneslibrary folder to the desktop and then open my iTunes. In theory the iTunes is supposed to ask for where the iTunes library is. Once that is prompted you quit iTunes and drag the iTunes Library folder back to the folder from the desktop and reopen iTunes to apprently solve the problem. However, when I move the iTunes Library file to the desktop and try to reopne iTunes the icon just keeps bouncing and when I right click the application does not respond.
    This problem is only resolved if I restart/shut down my macbook pro which is a 15-inch Core 2 Duo with intel. It will be 5 years old in December. I currently have Lion and the latest iTunes 10.5. This problem started in late December. 

    If you hold down the option key when starting iTunes, it will allow you to select a library or create a new one.
    You can create a new one, and then add all of your iTunes music back in by simply dragging the old iTunes music file onto iTunes.
    There are more detailed instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451#
    It will show you how to re-build your iTunes database file.

    I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

    Did you ever figure out what happened?
    I had the same experience as you did, but in my case it was a big fat pdf that Mail insisted I had to download before I could view it. As happened with you, I saw the file actually downloading, and after a time I was able to view the pdf. It's been my assumption that the pdf is still somewhere on my iPad, but I have no idea where, nor how to delete it if it is still there.
    Thanks.
