How do update new Library files on Mac?

Maybe I'm missing something, but what I want to do is update the current Library files to share with another computer to reflect current additions (playlists, songs, etc.) I don't want to "create" a new library and I don't think I want to "back up" the current library - I just want to update it as it is right now. What is the right way to do this? (iTunes 10)

do you mean you got a new Mac and want it to have the exact same library you have on the old one ?
if so, connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in _*Target Disk Mode*_, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
you could also use _*Home Sharing*_ to transfer content between your computers.
alternatively, you could use 3rd party tools such as TuneRanger, Syncopation or PowerTunes two keep two libraries in sync.

A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

How To Unhide the Library Folder in Mac OS X Lion

How To Unhide the Library Folder in Mac OS X Lion

How do you unhide in a Time Machine File?
What are you trying to do?
If in the Time Machine interface you wish to restore something in your Library, type cmd-shift-g, then type ~/Library into the path field and hit Go.
If you are browsing the Time Machine backup using the Finder, I hope you never wanted to use that backup again as you are more than likely going to corrupt it to the point of it not working any longer. If that is the case, you can do the same thing with the Go to Folder command above, just use the full path to where your backup is mounted. The easy way to find the path would be to open another Finder window and navigate to your home folder on the backup. Drag that home folder to an empty Go to Folder path field and it will fill in the full path, then add /Library on the end.

FCPX 10.1 : how to backup the library file (with LaCie SilverKeeper or other backup software)

Hello... I was using FCPX with an external hard drive (A) with all "events" end "projects" folders.
Then, on a regular basis, I was copying hard drive (A) content to another hard drive (B) using LaCie SilverKeeper. All new or modified content in these folders was copied. With the new 10.1 version, no more folders but a "library" file which is not recognized by SilverKeeper.
So how to backup library files without starting a new copy each time ?

Thank you for your input, nevertheless, I may have miss something but I am used to work with all my media on an external HD.
Then, on a regular basis, say each time I have an important editing step, I backup this external HD to another external HD.
With FCPX, I have chosen to integrate new media in the new library file. Consequently, these media files are not in folders, but inside the FCPX file.
The problem is that when I want to backup all this (including media files inside FCPX library) this library is not recognized by backup software.

How to update cgicmd.dat file during runtime?

I'd like to know how do update cgicmd.dat file during runtime. For example, I run a report one.jsp as
http://<machine>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?one.jsp&USERID=uid/pwd@db&DESTYPE=cache&mode=bitmap&desformat=htmlcss
within this report there is a hyperlink to open another report named two.jsp.
before creating this hyperlink, I'd like to update cgicmd.dat file with passed in userID, pwd, and connection, so two.jsp can use this key for userinfo
so I can create hyperlink as follows
srw.set_hyperlink('/reports/rwservlet?report=two.jsp'||
'&cmdkey=userinfo&DESTYPE=cache&mode=bitmap&desformat=htmlcss');
Thanks

To my knowledge the cgicmd.dat is only read when the OC4J starts, so you would have to come up with another solution. Using Single-Sign-On (SSO) is quite a good idea, and it's there for cases like this.

How to update an image file into existing file

how to update an image file into existing file

Hi,
So, i assume you want to change one picture. On Stage, i have edgeAnimate (an image), and
1) i am using the div tag.
So: sym.$("edgeAnimate").css("background-image", "url(images/myImage.png)" ); will change my picture.
Link: CSS properties.
More CSS:
sym.$("edgeAnimate").css( { "background-image": "url(images/myImage.png)", "background-size": "100% 100%", "background-repeat": "no-repeat", "cursor": "pointer" } );
Using a path variable:
var myPath = "images/myImage.png";
sym.$("edgeAnimate").css( { "background-image": "url("+myPath+")", "background-size":"100% 100%", "background-repeat":"no-repeat", "cursor": "pointer" } );
2) i am using the img tag.
I can add a class using Edge Animate user interface.
I choose one class name: "newImage".
So: sym.$(".newImage").css("background-image", "url(images/myImage.png)" ); will change my picture.
Note: I assumed you don’t need to preload your picture.

How do i back up files from mac to external harddrive

how do I back up files from mac to external harddrive not using time machine?

First format the external as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Connect via Firewire.
If it is just a few files or folders you want to back up you can just drag and drop. Or you can use SyncTwoFolders to keep the backups up to date.
If you want to back up your entire start-up disk use SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner, both of which can make a bootable clone of your entire start-up drive.
You can Google for the download sites of these applications, or search here:

How to import itunes library from a mac book pro to a new mac air?

How do I go about accessing my itunes library from a new mac air?
CD's and downloads were originally used to create my library on a mac book pro. Can I now access this on my new mac air?

If there is space on the Air, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer the data. (Go into Applications/Utilities, and run Migration Assistant from there - it will tell you what options you have for data transfer). If you wish to keep both laptops, you might look at using iTunes Match, which will make all your music available on the Air but not necessarily download it.

How to update boot camp in the Mac OS if it is a .exe file?

I don't know how to update my 3.0 Boot Camp because the files available on Apple's download page are all .exe files.
How can I do it from Mac OS since I don't have Windows installed yet?

The downloadable files are Driver Updates and have to be used while in Windows.
The Mac OSX BootCamp Assistant (in the Applications/Utilities folder) is not updated by these .exe files and the latest version of it is 3.0.4 (325) (OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8).
