How to implement Mac OSX Finder color labels

Is it possible to support color labels for files and folders in Mac OSX Finder in a custom connector? It would be nice to implement this in our connector as it's a common way for users to do some lightweight status workflow.
If it's possible, a code sample would be really helpful.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • Search by Finder "Color Label" or "Spotlight Comments"?

    Is it possible to do a search of referenced images by either their Finder Color Label, or their Spotlight Comments in Aperture?
    I suspect not, but thought I'd ask just in case I'm missing something..
    Would anyone else find this capability useful?

    heh.. so I'm guessing that's a "No", "no", and "NO".
    Oh well.. guess I'll submit some feedback then.

  • Finder Color Labels Disappear

    At my work, we use the Finder color label feature extensively for collaborative projects in order to mark who has worked on what files on our server. Recently, though, my labels have all disappeared. I'm unable to see the labels I had previously set and I am unable to view the labels others have set as well. My colleagues can see the labels just fine on their computers. I haven't seen a lot of people have this particular issue, but I have seen a fix online where you go into the Terminal and delete the DS_Store files and let OS X rebuild them. Please advise.

    I have a similar issue, but unfortunately no fix.  My labels don't disappear immediately though.  They will stick around for days or even weeks, then suddenly vanish.  I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  Anyone know of a solution.  I tried the DS_Store thing to no avail

    How to update Mac OSX 10.7.5 to 10.9? It says Your software is up to date when i do the Software update check

    Wowzah.  Not directed at you, but, like ouch!
    £15 to have a minor OS refresh and bug fix, from a corporation with $$$ in cash in the bank, seems a bit tight to me.  Talk about making Microsoft look generous.. sheesh.
    I run 10.8 on my MacBook pro and need 10.8 to run the xcode 5 dev tools on my work mac... I thought it would be a simple download, didn't realise we'd have to pay? Frankly the differences are in no way deserving of any price tag!
    Apple - try being more generous, people might like you more instead of just resenting every time we have to deal with you.  The only fun bit seems to be walking out the door with the shiny new thing.

  • PermissionDeniedException behavior in Mac OSX Finder

    OSX Finder shows a bit unwanted behavior when it comes to handling permission issues. On Windows, everything works correctly, OSX 10.6.x has an issue with moving files, OSX 10.7.x. shows issues when moving, renaming and deleting files. Note that I'm not sure if this issue is related to Adobe Drive or to how OSX works internally.
    Moving files - an issue with 10.6.x and 10.7.x
    When a user moves files to a location where they don't not have permissions to create a file, OSX Finder shows a system login dialog where you can enter your OSX username and password. After entering the credentials (which aren't the credentials of the DAM server) nothing happens, the file stays in it's original location and no error is shown to the user.
    In this case I would expect to get an error dialog which tells the user it doesn't have permissions to move the file. The OSX login dialog doesn't provide anything in this case as it doesn't allow you to login as a different Drive user.
    Error in the AD log when moving files

    Deleting files - an issue with 10.7.x
    When a user tries to remove a file it doesn't have permission to, it first shows a confirmation dialog, then a login dialog, see the move issue. After entering the credentials it shows an error dialog which tells that the file cannot be deleted. This is already better than the move behavior, only the login dialog is not necessary.

    Mac Dreamweaver lists files in alphabetical order by

    by no mean random, so I'm not sure what to tell you is going on.

  • How To update  Mac OSX 10.3.9 (Dual 1.8ghz)

    I recently purchased an iPod Classic but it won't operate from my system (Which is lame!) ... I was considering updating from Panther to Tiger or Leopard (they seem to be the same price) ... I've read many posts about the new Leopard's bugs etc., also I'm about to start doing some pre production (music) from home using Pro-Tools --- And I read on the digi design site that Leopard is not compatible with their system as of yet ...After reading the post I'm leaning towards not getting Leopard until Apple works out the kinks - Now Tiger ... on the iPod Classic box it requires Mac OSX 10.4.8 (which I didn't see until I got home) --- It looks like on the apple site that Tiger runs 10.4.6 -- (***??) If I purchase this can I download a Tiger update 10 10.4.8 or higher ? I'm confused and frustrated ---
    If I knew this I would have purchased an iPod Video 5th generation from one of the commercial stores (same size) and it runs on Panther... and it cheaper ...
    PLEASE someone let me know what my best option would be ... beside returning the iPOD CLASSIC ...
    I appreciate any help...and please excuse my frustration...

    Hi Jcverses!
    Here is some additional info.
    Exactly which model Mac is it?
    What is the Processor speed?
    What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
    How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
    Note that the stated System Requirements for any version of OS X, are the bare Minimum.
    As roam posted, once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), 10.4.x to 10.4.11 (Pending), and 10.5.x to 10.5.1 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    If your Mac meets the Leopard System Requirements. Leopard 10.5.x, can be purchased at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.

    Caveat Emptor!
    If any are presently available, examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!
    Tiger On eBay
    If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.11 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
    If Leopard 10.5.x is installed, you would use the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update.
    Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x and Leopard 10.5.x, ship on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.

  • How do I ensure OSX finds both Ext HD and Int HD on boot?

    I have OSX 10.5.1 on both an Internal HD and External HD.
    I prefer to use the External HD but sometimes it will startup on the Internal HD of its own accord.
    I've tried going in Startup Disk and selecting External HD and then locking the padlock but the padlock doesn't stay locked, it's always undone the next time I go back into Startup Disk.
    It seems it's failing to recognize the External HD on boot sometimes, because if I boot from ALT, then sometimes the Ext HD does not show up on the blue screen where it should - and from there I should be able to choose between the Ext HD and the Int HD - but when it's not there, I can't.
    But if I then shut down, then disconnect and reconnect the Ext HD, then most times the Ext HD WILL appear on the blue screen when I boot from ALT and I then can choose it and that's fine.
    But how do I fix it so both the Ext HD and the Int HD are found by the OS every time, like it used to?
    This has only started recently, like in the last 2 days, after working fine for several months.
    Thanks if you can help.

    Hello anna
    This can happen on my eMac running Panther, where the external fails to be immediately recognized sometimes. The system log reports a failed login or somesuch from memory. However, within a few moments it will appear. Usually opening a new Finder window will jog it to re poll for any external connections and then find it.
    In your situation that delay will lose that opportunity for it to be available as a startup drive.
    Once started and it is not showing, opening Disk Utility can often bring an external disk in to play, not that this solves your problem, just quicker than rebooting.
    Whilst an eMac has no second hard drive bay, it is possible to sacrifice the optical drive and install a second internal drive in that compartment, thus having two physical hard drives on your Desktop. As I say, that sacrifice is losing your DVD drive, but you can attach it as an external drive if you don't use it much. This is a bit of a workaround but maybe something to mull over.
    Tech note: access to the DVD is straight forward on an eMac (for an eMac). Access to its hard drive is so difficult it is not worth attempting.
    So maybe a hardware solution of sorts, for what is I think possible a hardware problem with eMacs.

  • How to help Mac to find printer driver?

    Using an older Epson Stylus Photo R1800. I used Epson's downloadable 'un-install' program in an attempt to start with a clean slate on my new machine (MBP-retina). Never particularly happy w/ print results on previous Mac OS's. Always thought there might be some type of double-processing going on between multiple drivers (if that's even possible?).
    Epson's driver site says the latest incarnation must be gotten from the Mac App Store. When trying to set-up the printer, the MAS will find and download an 'update' for a driver, but not download a driver. Went back to Epson's driver site and downloaded their latest downloadable driver for this printer. When I go to 'add' the printer I choose 'other' as my option to find the driver. Tried any and all parts of the downloaded 'Epson' file at user/HD/Applications/Library/Printers/Epson, but mountain lion will not recognize any thing as the driver and goes about searching in the MAS.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to get through or around this? Thanks in advance.

    Bruce,
    Afraid I have no link to post. I simply poked around through the batch files that came with Epsons printer driver package until I found something big enough that I figured it had to be the driver. I copied that particular file to desktop then used it as the 'other' driver source when adding the printer to the system.
    I ran a couple of prints to see that if it worked. Seems I might still have issues. The prints are ok, but not what I'd call good. But then I've never ever been able to get what I'd call 'great' prints from my set-up. Always thought there might be some kind of double-processing going on. I use Lightroom, and always have had to manipulate my jpgs, often to extremes, to get something that even looked like a keeper. Stupid I know, but I've been doing this so long that I've just accepted it as normal operating procedure.
    Sorry, I know this doesn't help much. If I have some time this afternoon I may try to play with it some more to see if I can work out the bugs. If I come up with something that works, I'll post my findings.

  • Can't apply Finder color labels to selected apps/utils

    just upgraded from tiger -> leopard -> snow leopard.
    some of the apps in the Applications folder, and most of the apps in the Utilities folder, have now lost their Finder label functionality: i can't set a label, because that feature is grayed out.
    i assume this must be some kind of permissions problem, but i don't get all the way to a solution. even if i add myself to the permissions for the individual item and give myself read+write access, the labeling functionality doesn't return.
    first it looked like apple's own apps were more likely to be locked down, but on further inspection that theory doesn't really hold. though, there are apps in each folder for which i can set a label, so it's not about permissions of the parent folder.

    Just got my new Mini with 10.6.1 and I can't label certain apps either.
    This is a major pain as I use labels to find things quickly. Anyone have a fix yet?

  • How to install Mac OSX on New Hard Drive (No Disk)

    I have a new Hard Drive that I just received and I'm looking to install it on my Early 2009 17 inch Macbook Pro. The problem is I dont have the original disk that came with my macbook. I do have a 2TB external HD so is there anyway I can back up Maverick on there and install it on the new Hard Drive without having the original Disk?

    If your machine is running Mavericks with the old drive, just connect the new one in an external enclosure. Boot to the Recovery partition by holding the Command and R keys at startup. Run Disk Utility to prep the new drive, exit Disk Utility and install Mavericks.
    You could also do the external enclosure and use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your existing drive to the new one.

  • How to repair Mac OSX 10.4.6

    I m trying to reboot with the Apple CD but i cant!!!!
    I have already tried to hold the "C" key while booting but it will not do anything.
    Please advice.

    To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
    1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup.
Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
    2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
    (SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
    3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:

    The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK 
If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
*** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *** 

Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
