How to get finder to open folders when copying/moving files?
When I copy/move files and am still holding down the trackpad, I often have to copy them to subfolders. When I hover the mouse over the folder, a new finder window pops up. How do I configure finder so that when I mouse over the folder (when I am dragging something to be copied/moved) the folder opens, rather than a bunch of finder windows popping up for each subfolder?
Thanks for both of your answers.
*Amazon S3 Option*
I preferred the Amazon S-3 option for ease of use and setup, but this does not appear to work. The software accesses the file very quickly indeed, which is great, but I think due to the connection protocol the network volume reports 'zero' disk space remaining.
The MYOB application does not like this, so pops up an error message saying it needs at least '200kb of disk space to open'. This is because, upon opening, it writes a couple of 'lock' files to the disk where the data file is stored.
My previous solution with the Mac Mini used VPN to connect, thus allowing SMB shares for windows users and AFP shares for Mac, and when mounted these network volumes would report the remaining disk space of the Mac Mini itself. MYOB liked this.
Is there any way I can get the network share to report something other than zero disk space remaining?
*Dedicated Server Option*
Otherwise, the VPS option sounds very affordable. I am however unfamiliar with the world of dedicated servers and the Ubuntu OS, but surprised they are so affordable. I would rather go this route than change my home ISP.
Firstly I have never used Linux or typed anything into the command line. So, will I be able to use VNC to access the VPS?
Second, to access the data file, should I continue to use VPN? My current VPN server software supports Linux, so can I use this on Ubuntu?
Thanks again..

How to get the complete path name when uploading a file from servlet
Hi,
I write a servlet to upload a file from html page
<intput type=file name=fileupload>I am using
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.to upload file. i want to get the all fields in the form and file name and content of the file also.
It give the file name only
String filename= fileItem.getName();
o/p krish.jpgBut i want complete path naem like
d:/krishna/images/funny/krish.jpgI serach the API org.apache.commons.fileupload.*
But i did nt find the method to get it.
plz help me , which api or method to use here..Krishna_Rao_chintu wrote:
But i need path and have to do some calculations on it.No, you don't. If you have requirements which say you do then the requirements are wrong. You couldn't do anything useful with the path on the client system even if you could get it.
is there any alternatives in java
I need path and have to calculate MD5, Presumably you need to calculate MD5 on the contents of the file and not on the name of the file.
and convert the file to binary format.... etc oprations on itSorry, "convert a file to binary format" is basically meaningless.
but we can get the content of the file using
byte [] get()/ getString() methods
If i get content is there any performance degrades?
ie if the content is lengthy is it take more time?Take more time than what? Degrading performance from what? It's certainly true that it would be quicker to not upload the file, but that's a pointless comparison. If you have some other process to compare with, let us know what it would be. -
How to get the best possible performance when accessing remote files
Hello,
I have recently set up a VPN to allow remote access to an MYOB data file hosted on my Mac Mini at home (MYOB is an accountancy software package for Mac and PC).
My Mac Mini is connected to the internet over a standard ADSL home broadband line, with a terrible upload speed. I think my ISP (BT) quotes 512k upload and up to 8 Meg download. Needless to say, access to the data file is sluggish at best.
Can anybody recommend a better way to host the data file?
I am aware of lots of 'free file hosting' services, a quick Google search brings up loads, but I need to actually open and run the file from its remote location. I cannot download and then upload again because we have multiple user access, and need to ensure the file on the server is not being edited by two people at once.
Thanks for your help...Thanks for both of your answers.

I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!
The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
605124.pdf.html
Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

Can't get Finder to open a window
I can't get Finder to open a window when I click it in the dock when there are no windows already open. Applications will launch from the dock and I can open a window by double-clicking the hard drive icon on the desktop.

I tried trashing the preferences for both finder and the dock but still the same problem.Thanks for the reply but I can't get a window by clicking on the Finder icon even when one is not already open.

Getting Finder to open the right version
I recently updated my copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader from 5.0.5 to 5.1. But the new version doesn't work.
How do I get Finder to open the old 5.0.5 version when I double-click on a PDF file (without deleting the new 5.1 version)?
Gary"The app starts with a splash screen that indicates it is loading plugins. Then it simply quits. The only remnant is a zero-length file in the trash."
Reader 5.1 shouldn't simply quit, provided that you're running OS 9.1 minimally. Its OS requirements specify this, so if you're running an older version of the Mac OS, then a problem might be expected. If the installer were a corrupted download, you should have tried downloading and installing it again.
"And it's a GOOD thing that I didn't throw the old version away first. If I had, I'd have no way to open PDFs at all."
My suggestion to delete the older installed version was not a recommendation for you to "throw away" anything. One should always keep older program installers stored on another medium, for future use. Didn't you save the Reader 5.0.5 installer after downloading it? If not, the download link at Adobe's web site can be found here. Years ago, I saved so many third-party, freeware downloads for pre-OS X software to multiple CDs. Corporate acquisitions (such as AMD's acquisition of ATI) often cause a decline in web-based support, in spite of promises to the contrary. AMD dropped the popular (pre-OS X) ATI Universal Installer 4.2 - I assume - because it was considered obsolete. One should always backup downloads for safe keeping, because there's no gurantee that you'll be able to obtain them later. VersionTracker was always a good source for older Mac downloads, until it was absorbed by CNet. That's when many of the files became unavailable. -

I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I keep getting an AVG popup about cookies that I cannot get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome very often even though I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and cannot find anything. How does one get personal technical help?? These issues do not happen in Chrome at all. Thanks.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

After the recent update, my documents moved from Finder to Word. When I moved the folders to Finder, I am unable to attach a file to an e-mail. Any Suggestions?
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
