How to find duplicate files in Finder with Automator or Apple ScriptEditor

Can anyone tell me how to find duplicate files in Finder with Automator or Apple ScriptEditor.

D'oh!  It's actually fairly easy - I just right clicked on the file, Get Info, Artwork tab, then dragged the picture to the desktop, from where I can do what I like with it.  Never mind, nothing to see here, carry on.

    How do I drag files in Finder to a different folder?

    First, open one Finder window, and then, open another one pressing Command and N keys.
    On one window, go to the folder where the files are, and on the other one, go to the folder where you want to put your files. Choose them with the Command key (or select all if you want to transfer all of them, with Command and A keys) and drag them to the other Finder window

  • Find duplicate files?

    Is there an easy way to find duplicate files built into Lion? I use Dupe Guru  but it doesn't find all the duplicates. Any suggestions?

    There is no such utility built-into OS X. Besides Dupe Guru you might try Gemini or Twins - both available through the Mac App Store.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can't see by default hidden files through Finder. However, you can do it with a command that you can copy in Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities). Open this application and type:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE && killall Finder
    After doing it, you will be able to see hidden files through Finder in all the volumes connected to the MacBook Pro

  • How can I send files by FTP with Oracle Portal?

    I want to send some file by FTP.
    How can I send files by FTP with Oracle Portal?
    Any ideas?

    Enrique,
    Are you trying to transfer more content from remote locations to expose as items within a portal page? By itself, the Oracle Portal runs within the context of the database so I'm not sure how FTP at the OS level will help. However, if you're attempting to transfer files from a remote PC to upload within the Portal, here are a couple of suggestions.
    Option 1:
    A. Create a portal page.
    B. Convert a region to Items.
    C. When you're challenged to upload a file from the local OS, ensure you've a drive mapped to your remote location and pick the file to upload into the Oracle9iAS Portal.
    Option 2:
    Alternatively, the Oracle9iAS Portal 9.0.2 supports the WebDAV protocol(Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning Protocol) allowing endusers with a WebDAV client to upload content into the Portal seamlessly from their desktop.
    Pls. check out:

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • How can I download images from website with Automator?

    Hi!
    I want to ask how can I download images from website with Automator like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQm7Xr9jY0w&t=85m15s (in 1:25:15).
    I want to download these images to my downloads folder. Some things have changed and I can't find exact options as then. When I am trying to make it it shows "The action "Download URLs" was not supplied with the required data."
    I am using 2012 late iMac with Mac OSX 9.2 (Mavericks).

    There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
    One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
    The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
    I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID?

    How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID? It belonged to someone else so presumably it has been authorized with another id. Your help and answers are much appreciated.

    To make sure the file system is closed properly iPod classics should be ejected from the iTunes interface, or if iTunes isn't running, using the "Safely remove hardware" tool. That message is a standard warning. If the device shows up in iTunes you can configure the selection of media content that you want to sync to it and press the sync button to start the process. iTunes may spend quite a long time "thinking" before any tracks are copied over.
    If you think there might be something wrong with the device itself see Corrupt iPod classic for some troubleshooting tips.

  • HT1338 i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created.

    i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.

    You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
    Hope that helps.

  • I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID

    I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID?
    The apple ID was his personal account and can no longer gain access. Im sure I can get purchase recipts from the accounting department if needed. I tried to put the Ipad in restore mode and used itunes to "recover" the ipad but it still wont let me in because he registered the device with the "lost iphone" feature or whatever that is.

    Activation Lock in iOS 7  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • How can i open my locked ipad with a forgotten apple id?

    how can i open my locked ipad with a forgotten apple id?

    If you’re being asked for your own Apple ID, either use Apple’s iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.
    If you’re being asked for someone else’s Apple ID, you need to contact the device’s original owner(if this is you, take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store) or the person who set the lock.

    How can I download a free app with an existing Apple ID without to give my credit card infos?! The ID ist already made...

    Sorry, but you can't. The process only works when creating a new Apple ID. With an existing ID you'll have to provide a payment method at least temporarily.

  • Can't find how to shut off File Transfer Mode with...

    I've spent the better part of two hours searching the Internet for information on how to turn off File Transfer Mode since my phone started refusing to connect to my home computer, today.
    The pdf user's guide doesn't say how to find it.  I've been digging through the menu on the phone trying to find anything that resembles File Transfer Mode so I can click it off.
    The other FAQ and discussion groups I've located are irrelavent as the information they contain doesn't transfer to my Nokia 820 (they suggest options which don't exist on my phone).
    Please, where does one start looking for File Transfer Mode on this phone so they can shut it off, and why isn't that information printed in the troubleshooting documents and self help files for these phones?
    I connect through the USB cable to my PC.  I have downloaded and installed Nokia PC Suite v.7.1.180.94 this morning in hopes that it would fix the connectivity problem, but unless I can get File Transfer Mode shut off somehow, my new phone's going to wind up being useless.
    Nokia Lumia 820, Windows 8 phone
    HP Pavilion Slimline s52021, Windows 7 Home

    have you searched these forums and tried a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates)? Bear in mind that no, Nokia Suite, or Nokia PC Suite do not work with Windows Phone 8 devices at all, only the Windows Phone app does.
    See if other devices connect to your PC, and try other USB ports.
