How to add a file to sidebar in Lion?

Hi!
In Snow Leopard it was possible to drag&drop any file or folder to the sidebar (under "PLACES").
I recently upgraded to Lion - and it doesn't allow me to drag&drop any file to the sidebar under "FAVORITES" (or any other section) - they just won't "drop" there. When I drag folders to the sidebar - everything works fine. But not with files.
I'm wondering if it's a feature of Lion or if something's wrong with my computer.
Does anyone know the solution?
Thank you!

I noticed a weird thing.
When I open a file from the sidebar - it sometimes disappears from the sidebar!
Sometimes it stays (like it's supposed to).
I experimented a little bit to find out when it disappears and when it stays.
Here's what I found:
If I open a file from the sidebar and do NOT save it before closing - it remains on the sidebar. I can open it as many times as I want - it stays, as long as I don't press "save" before quitting.
(So, for example, there is no problem with non-editable pdf files).
But if I open a file from the sidebar (e.g. xlsx or rtf file) and SAVE it before closing - then:
- if it's the first time that the file is saved - everything is ok, it remains on the sidebar
- if it's the second time that the file saved - then the file disappears from the sidebar!
I'm sure it's a glitch, what's the point of having an item on the sidebar if it disappers from it all the time and you have to add it manually back again & again!
Do you come across the same problem or is it just me?

How to add PDF files into a slides? (Flash 8)

I am new to flash and I am using Macromedia Flash 8. My task is simple enough: I need create a Presentation with Screens from PDF files: I have 10-12 PDF files which I want convert into flash presentation.
I have read this tutorial:
http://w3.id.tue.nl/fileadmin/id/objects/E-Atelier/Phidgets/Software/Flash/fl8_tutorials.p df
Chapter 11: Basic Tasks: Create a Presentation with Screens.
I'm having trouble how to add PDF files into a slides: I want insert a whole pdf file as separate slide, without splitting pdf file into separate elements: pictures, text, etc. I tried import pdf file into Flash, wheen import there is shown prompt how program should process this pdf file(add in stage, library, as keyframes, etc) , not clear which option is correct for my task. What I got is pdf file splitted into multiple images, text, - which is not what I want. I want keep PDF files without changes, preserve original design and formatting, just convert this pdf into flash, so presentation will consist of PDFs organized in correct order, then add navigation buttons and some effects. How to solve this task?

Just to avoid potential confusion... PDF is an Adobe format, but Flash 8 is/was not. Flash 8 came out before Adobe bought Macromedia. Even today, I don't believe anything has been done to accomodate direct integration of PDF content in Flash.

How to add .m4r files from my computer to my tones in iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.1 ?

How to add .m4r files from my computer to my tones in iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.1 ?

You've sycned other content via your computer's iTunes to the phone ?
You can sync photos to your phone via your computer's iTunes : connect your phone to your computer, click on its icon towards the top left of the iTunes screen, and select Photos on the left-hand side of the screen :
Photos that you sync from a computer can't be deleted directly in the phone's Photos app, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you will need to include all photos that you want from your computer in each photo sync.

How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your quick response. The original movies were taken on a Canon ES970 (1990's). I don't know the resolution but things were not as high tech back then.,.. I used a Roxio software to convert them on my MacBook Air. I didn't realize that I could use Adobe Premiere Elements to do that or I would have. However my old camera did not have a cable to attach it to a computer and the Roxio software came with it.
I then saved the recordings on an external hard drive. I did not make movies from them using iMovie or edit them in any way. They are simply .MOV files and they can be played on my Mac. Upon realizing how much memory it takes to work on videos, I decided it might be easier to burn DVD's on my husband's new Dell desktop that came with Windows 8. I downloaded Quicktime as suggested and still the movies can't be added to Premiere.

How to add a file to an existing package programmatically in Acrobat 8?

Hello
Is it possible to add a file to an existing package programmatically in Acrobat 8? (embed a pdf file in a pdf package programmatically); If so, how should I do it?
Thanks in advance,

Finally, I found out how to add a file to an existing package programmatically by using JavaScript (function: app.execMenuItem("AddFileAttachment")). Thanks for your help Ironsenth. However, I need to specify the file to attach programmatically and I can't figure out how to do it.
Could you let me know where I can find this information (what document to read)? Is there any parameters for the 'AddFileAttachment' method?
Thanks in advance,

How to add audio files.

I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on my iMac. I can't for the life of me figure out how to add music files to the 8 or so that come with the program. Anybody else having this problem or am I just dumber than most?

As I put in my original post I might be dumber than most and that's still a possibility. I also tried the "Use Smartsound" same feeling that I didn't like the add on that just took me to another site to sell me music. I couldn't find the "Project Assets" box after looking almost everywhere. But..... I was in the "Quick" mode. Knowing I was a rank beginner I avoided the "Expert" tab. But after looking everywhere else I opened that tab and "It's A Miracle" there it was. Still stumbling through the learning process so thanks for your kind help. If I hit the wall again I'll make another post looking for help. Thanks Again.
I tried the Quick mode. When I did 'add media' in the upper left corner, video files went straigt to the project box. Then I tried an audio file and it went below the video in the project box. So, I see where in 'Quick' the 'Project Assets' box and step are skipped. Sorry about misleading you.
Either way, audio files get to the project box when you pick them up as a file on your computer.
There are two great sources to speed the learning process. lynda.com has courses that are like a personal demo of everything PrE does with a great coach explaining it. http://www.lynda.com/Premiere-Elements-tutorials/Up-Running-Premiere-Elements-11/109763-2. html A few if the chapters are free as a trial. The fee is $25 for a month of access. One month is more than enough if all you want is the one course.
If you prefere owning a course on a disk, video2brain is an alternative, but I don't think it is as thorough.

How to add music files from other hard drives

how to add music files from other external hard drives??

Not sure what you are trying to achieve.. You can copy the files to anywhere you like.. but the TC is a backup target for Time Machine.. it is not a media server.. it is totally useless copying your files to the TC as they will not be backed up from there.. TC has no built in backup and TM cannot backup network drives.

How to add a file to jar without compression using JarOutputStream

Hi,
I just want to know how to add a file without compression to a jar using JarOutputStream. By default the file is compressed when you add it to the JarOutputStream. This option is present when you create a jar using command line mode using the jar tool. Is there something like that in JarOutputStream.
Thanx in advance.

How to add a static route permanently in Lion

Hi, pls help to fix the problem.
How to add a static route permanently in Lion.
All methods for previous MAC OS are not working

Hi,
Not sure if you have fixed this, but I'd use launchd to create the route on startup.
If you create a text file in /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.imac.route.plist
with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>local.imac.route</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>route</string>
<string>add</string>
<string>224.0.0.0/4</string>
<string>[GATEWAY]</string>
</array>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<false/>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>ServiceIPC</key>
<false/>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>root</string>
</dict>
</plist>
You need to replace [GATEWAY] with the IP address of the gateway to use like 10.11.12.13
Then as root (login as an admin user and use "sudo su -" to become root) type:
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.imac.route.plist
You should be up and running.

Add-CMDeploymentType: How to add a file/folder detection method

Hello all,
I'm discovering how to add applications & deploymenttypes to my SCCM deployment through Powershell.
Adding the application went smoothly, but I'm struggling a bit at the deploymenttype.
I want to add a file/folder detection clause as you can in the admin console, but it seems that that the Add-CMDeploymentType cmdlet doesn't allow this..
Am I correct?
Can you only add a scripted detection clause to the deploymenttype?
For now I've just added the following Powershell detection clause:
Test-Path %PATH_TO_A_FILE_OF_THE_APP%
This will then return true after the application has installed.
Thanks for your insights on this!
Filip

Hello Christopher,
command I execute:
I've just tried what you suggested, but now the path to the detection script just gets put into the script content window, instead of the contents of the file..
http://sdrv.ms/1fx6wnN
This is the command I execute:
$NewDT=Add-CMDeploymentType
-ApplicationName
$AppName
-ScriptInstaller
-DeploymentTypeName
"Local Install"
-InstallationProgram
$DTProgram
-InstallationBehaviorType
$DTBehavior
-LogonRequirementType
$DTLogonReq
-ContentLocation
$DTContentLocation
-ManualSpecifyDeploymentType
-DetectDeploymentTypeByCustomScript
-ScriptType
Powershell
-ScriptContent
\\syn-sccm01\sources\SCCM\Packages\PSTest\GoogleEarthDetection.ps1
Should I quote that path somewhere?
Thanks!
