How to get file attribs - on any Mac

ok so if the Mac in question has Developer / Tools - yeah the GetFileInfo binary will work to get the Type and Creator code and other info.... since most Macs dont have this bulky download... how to get file attribute information via Terminal ? How to change it ?

Oddly enough I was just now playing around with a getinfo Applescript and studying the event log when I realized that it does return information about at least some of the attributes. I made the ones that it looks like you can get information about bold:
A Alias file
B Bundle
C Custom icon
D Desktop
E Hidden extension
I Inited
M Shared (can run multiple times)
N No INIT resources
L Locked
S System (name locked)
T Stationary
V Invisible
Z Busy
If you are interested see this thread:

The SetFile function is actually available on any Mac that has a recent Tiger updater package installed. Thus I have copies in both the package updaters and the receipts for 10.4.7, .8, .9 and .10 in the /Library/Packages and /Library/Receipts folders. The SetFile command is in the Resources folder:
"/Library/Packages/MacOSXUpd10.4.10PPC.pkg/Contents/Resources/SetFile"
Control click on the .pkg file and select Show contents from the Contextual Menu to get there. Unfortunately I don't know of any way to use some other Terminal command to get information on all the attributes, except the GetFileInfo and using the Applescipt get info function.

How to get file from server while click on link

Hi,
i created on link and i gave one server path to select file from server but while clickinng on link it no displaying any thing.
following is the Destination url that i gave for the item.
/u08/app/appvis/xxex/inst/xxex_apps/xxrbe/logs/appl/conc/log/
please tell me how to get file from server while click on link.

Ok I got your requirement now.
If you are getting file names from view attribute then you should not be adding destination URI property for the link.
Instead you can use OADataBoundValueViewObject API.
Try below code in your controller processRequest method:
I am assuming that you are using classic table.
Also in below example it considers OAMessageStyleText and you can replace it with link item if you want.
OATableBean tableBean =
(OATableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("<table item id>");
OAMessageStyledTextBean m= (OAMessageStyledTextBean)tableBean.findChildRecursive("<message styled text in table item id>");
OADataBoundValueViewObject tip1 = new OADataBoundValueViewObject(m, "/u08/app/appvis/xxex/inst/xxex_apps/xxrbe/logs/appl/conc/log/"+"<vo attr name which stores file name for each row>");
m.setAttributeValue(oracle.cabo.ui.UIConstants.DESTINATION_ATTR, tip1);

That will not work!
You cannot copy or migrate Adobe applications from computer to computer. There are a whole host of files in different locations which have to be installed, and copying will not do it.
In fact, you'll now have to use the Adobe Cleaner tool to remove the mess you created. You can get to it here:

How to get file line count.

Hey guys,
How to get file line count very fast? I am using BufferedReader to readLine() and count. But when dealing with big file, say several GB size, this process will be very time consuming.
Is there any other methods?
Thanks in advace!

What I'd do is you create an infofetcher, register a listener, implement gotMore() and have that scan for '\n'
Some might suggest getting rid of the listener/sender pattern or use multiple threads to make ii faster. This might help a little, but only if your I/O is super-duper speedy.
you are welcome to use and modify this code, but please don't change the package or take credit for it as your own work.

* InfoFetcher is a generic way to read data from an input stream (file, socket, etc)
* InfoFetcher can be set up with a thread so that it reads from an input stream

How to transfer files like music from mac to ipad? tried it using mac but what happen was opposite!

how to transfer files like music from mac to ipad? tried it few times but what happen was the opposite.

If you want to sync your iTunes library on your Mac to your iPad ....
Connect your iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad's name on the left side under the devices heading. Then click on the Music tab - and select the music that you want to transfer. Does your iTunes window look like this - with Sync Music checked and the playlists or albums checked as well like in the photo below?
When you click on the apps tab do you have Sync Apps checked and all of the apps in the window below checked to sync as well?
If you select all of the items under the different tabs in iTunes - music, apps, photos. etc. - when you sync - all of the selected content should sync over to the iPad.

How to get file count in variable?

dear all,
how to get file count in variable?
regards
Naseer

Hi Nazeer ,
It wont take much time .. so simple :- )
Create one os comand step
( for unix) Use
wc -l filename.txt > someoutputfile.txt
Now the number of lines in your file will be there in the output file ( someoutputfile.txt )
Step2 :-
Now use Cezar's logic to fetch the variable value ( file count ) from the output file .. ( select value for a variable from a file )
This will not take eeven a second to finish the job.

You first convert them to ProRes with Compressor or MPEG STREAMCLIP, then import the ProRes files into FCP. FCP doesn't work with the AVI container...footage must be Quicktime, and must be in a codec FCP works with.

I'm sorry, but I know nothing about iCloud email. I stayed away from iCloud email and only use iCloud for limited purposes.
But take a look at this discussion and read the response from randers4. He is one of the iCloud experts in the Apple Support Communities.

If that doesn't help, you might be better off posting in here where there are other more knowledgable iCloud users.

How to get 10 screens on a Mac Pro

Hi All:
I'm trying to figure out how to get 10 screens working together like one big desktop on a Mac Pro.
Currently I have a 12core 2010 Mac Pro with 2 ATI 5770 cards driving 6 30" cinema displays. Each of these cards are double wide.
I want to connect 4 65" LED displays.
Does anyone have an idea how I can do this? The Mac Pro has only 4 slots. The two 5770s take up 3 spaces (because of their doulbe wide size). The last slot has a OWC solidstate drive there. I guess I could remove that and use just a regular SATA SSD if need be, but would love to get this done with just 3 slots.
So some thoughts. There are two possible ways (ideal, and less ideal) that I can think of:
IDEAL way:
The ideal would be to find a single wide card that supports 5 or 6 displays, and use that. I know that some people have had success flashing single wide cards, but it's not clear if all the ports are usable. See here for an ATI card with 3 ports, single slot, that's been flashed:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Mac-Pro-ATI-Radeon-HD-5770-1GB-Video-Card-Single-S lot-5870-/150928552679?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item23240af2e7
Also, it's not clear if you could get 4 of those cards working to drive all 10 screens.
However, there are single wide 5/6 display cards like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150566&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junc tion&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10440897&PID=3332167&SID=u00000687
Has any seen or know of a 5 port card like the above that has been flashed to work in a Mac Pro?
LESS ideal way:
My guess is there are some PCI expansion chasis, and I can just put in 2 more regular ATI 5770s there. I found this:
http://www.jmr.com/en/products/14/3-slot-pcie-extender/
and this
http://www.magma.com/catalog/classic-pci-expansion
I'm not sure how well these extenders work.
EVEN LESS ideal way:
Perhaps getting another Mac or PC and somehow VNC'ing in is an option, but this likely would be too laggy to run video from one computer to the other. The ideal is to just treat the system like one giant screen, but I'm open to hearing any experiences/suggestions on getting this to work.
Thanks so much!

After reading up on it, it seems that the 6850 supports 3 displays. So perhaps I could do one 6870 (4 displays) in slot one, and then 2 single slot 6850's or 5770's in slots 2 and 3. This would give 10 displays.
I have 3 questions then:
(1) What is the quietest 6870 card people have successfully used in a Mac Pro?
(2) What is quietest single slot 6850 or 5770 card successfully used in a Mac Pro?
(3) Has anyone gotten thiis 5770 single slot card to work on a Mac Pro, and have they gotten 5 display ports to work?
