How to Mount an ext. HD, and Copy Files to it -- under Windows???

I'm a Mac person, and so, I know how to attach an external FireWire hard drive to my Mac, mount the disk, and use the Finder to Copy files from the Mac to the external volume.
But would someone, please, write a step-by-step guide for doing the same thing under Windows???
It's for the simple purpose of preserving a small number of files on the external volume.
Many Thanks In Advance.

"write a step-by-step guide for doing the same thing under Windows???"
You use the same procedure...attach the drive, it shows up while browsing "My Computer, double click it.
However, Windows cannot read Mac formatted drives unless install third party software such as MacDrive.

How can i re-link .mpkg and .pkg files to hidden Installer?

I am near the end of the process of setting up my new Mac Pro (early 2009) eight core. Quite the wonderful difference from my "Mirror Drive Door" dual 1.25 GHz machine!
The Mac Pro came with Mac OS X 10.6.2 installed. I updated this to 10.6.6 via Software Update along with a slew of other updates presented there. I downloaded and installed a bunch of software. Finally, I was ready to install iLife 11 from the "CPU Drop-in" DVD that was on top of the box when the computer was originally unpacked.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't even begin the install. The "iLife.mpkg" file, when double-clicked, returned the error message "no application associated with this document". Hours of investigation reveals that NO .mpkg or .pkg file will open; doing a "get info" on the files reveals that those files have lost their link to the Installer app.
AND since the only installer I can find is hidden in /usr/sbin, there is no way I can re-link .mpkg and .pkg files to it via "get info".
I downloaded Pacifist and used it to open the "Mac OS X 10.6.6 Combo" package and re-installed the Combo updater. Much to my surprise, that didn't fix the linking issue.
I've logged in as root, but still can't re-link the package files to the Installer as /usr/ is still hidden. Is there a way I can temporarily "un-hide" the /usr directory so that "get info; open with" can see it?
I've started from the Mac OS X installer DVD and repaired permissions on the hard disk and "repaired" the hard disk. No luck there either.
I did a clean install of Mac OS X 10.6.2 to a different hard drive and applied the combo updater and the packages worked as expected there. So some software I installed or by running a slew of updaters via Software Update broke the link between packages and the Installer.
I'm sure that re-linking to packages to the hidden installer app can be done via Terminal and possible other ways, but I don't know how to do it.
Short of doing a complete Mac OS X 10.6 re-installation and update and having to re-do several days of other software installations and data transfers, I'm hoping someone will offer some solutions or tips on how to solve my problem.
How do I re-link .mpkg and .pkg files to the Installer?

Thanks for the reply. I know I had previously checked for the missing installer in /System/Library/CoreServices/ and I rechecked and it's still not there. But your tip spurred me to check the test 10.6.6 installation on the other hard disk and yes! It's there!
A quick copy from the second hard disk to my current hard disk and doing the "get info" trick and everything now works wonderfully. Only one day lost to trying to figure this out. Now that the problem is fixed, quite the relief.

How to package/inlcude C++ .exe and .dll files in a Java Web Start App?

Hello,
I have a Java Web Start application that runs fine if the application is only 1 .jar file.
But I have a need to also run C++ .exe and .dll file from my Java application.
I wonder if someone could please tell me how to package/include C++ .exe and
.dll files in my Java web start application?
Thank you and Best Regards,
Akino

You need to place the EXE and DLLs inside the jar.
Java cannot execute them from the jar. They have to be extracted (see Class.getResourceAsStream) from the jar and copyied into the target machine file system, perahps to the temp directory. Now you can execute them using Runtime.exec() or ProcessBuilder.start().

How do I recover a .app and its file contents after osx "click and hold" "hit x button" delete

How do I recover a .app and its file contents after osx "click and hold" "hit x button" delete.
Accidently deleted rapidweaver and all of its content and paid plugins with it. all contain in its package contents. how do i restore. I tried using recovery software.

It is possible that you inadvertently corrupted the file while doing the edit.
But it could also be possible that you moved the file? For iMovie to see it, it should be in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder.

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad?

You can email them, you can use DropBox, SugarSync or another cloud service or you can use iOS file sharing.
But in all cases you need an app on the iPad that will open and save those types of files. iBooks, Adobe Readers, Good Reader and Save 2 PDF will all save PDF files.
Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro and the Apple iWorks apps will open and save the MS office files. You can Google - "iPad apps that are compatible with Microsoft Office files" and you will find other alternatives - or search the app store for more.
You can read this as well for some instruction on getting those files onto an iPad.

How to create a new account and copy all settings?

I think my main user account is corrupted. So I want to create a new account and copy all of my settings, files etc..and more than likely piecemeal just incase my settings are what is corrupted. That way I can isolate the problem.
I don't plan to delete the main account until satisfied and I also have my Time Machine backup plus my SuperDuper backup.
I can/should be able to figure out how to create the new account, but I am very unclear on the best/easiest approach to copy in my iTunes files and settings, applications(is this even an issue), address book, email, etc? I should be able to find most everything underneath my home account folders but what else am I missing here? I don't want to find out the hard way.
Please share some advice or perhaps a link/FAQ on how to approach.
Thanks in advance.

How to use an external hard drive and copy files to the disk for mac and windows??

please tell me how to copy files to external hard disk and use it for both mac and windows. there is the fat32 formatting bt i dont wanna use formatting because i already have a lot of content on the exteral hard disk. thank you.

It is simplest to have the HDD formatted to noe common to both Mac an PC. ExFAT is one. But to do that will erase all data on the HDD.
If the HDD id formatted NTFS, Mac can read but not write to it. The solution then is to use a third party application such as Paragon or Tuxera which will overcome that obstacle. These applications do have mixed reviews.
Ciao.

How can I open and copy files on the win side from the mac side?

I am working on the mac side and I need to be able to copy files from the mac side that I create over to the win side. I can open and view win files when I am booted to Snow Leopard, but I cant copy files to the win side. I think Macdrive does the opposite.
Any ideas?
thanks,
C

to write to Windows NTFS you need 3rd party.
You have read only access to HFS from Windows.
MacDrive8 works in Windows to add write to HFS as does Paragon. Paragon has what I have come to see as the best NTFS driver for OS X, and they have a separate HFS8 for Windows similar to MacDrive8.
Maybe you want to run Windows as a client OS using Parallels instead?

How to take result of multiplication and copy over to another spread sheet without taking formula?

I am trying to copy over the results of my product formula and copy it over to a separate spreadsheet.
Every single time I try to copy the results over, the formula seems to tag along with it!
EXAMPLE: I took 17.99 and multiplied it by 3.5 to get 62.97. All I want is the 62.97 so that I can put it on a separate work sheet... every time I try doing that... it copies over the formula!
So frustrating. Is there anyway to get this done? Or do I have to multiply all 2000+ equations manually and type it in myself?

Hi gn,
Glad to help. Thanks for the green tick .
Happy Numbering!

Ian.

How can I combine originals, modified, and data files?

I just ran into a huge problem.
I have about 33,500 pictures, and my startup disk is beyond full.
I all of a sudden realized that I have three copies of every single picture I have. One in the modified folder, one in the originals folder, and another in the data folder.
I need to clear out space, but I don't want to go through and delete/save each and every single picture. I want to save one copy of each picture. I'd like the modified pictures to combine with the originals into the file group they were originally in.
I hope this makes sense, and I need help.
I need to delete some of these pictures but I don't want to have to do it one by one, and I don't want to delete entire folders. (e.g. I don't want to have to delete all my originals, modified, etc. etc.)
For future reference:
Is there anyway I can import pictures, edit them, and only have one copy of the edited picture? Do I have to then go in and delete the original every single time I do that?
S.O.S!
Please help!
thank you,
-A lost girl named Jenn from Michigan.

Jenn:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions and Go Blue! First, let me discuss free space on the boot drive. It's strongly recommended to have a minimum of 10 GB free space on your boot drive. This is important if you want optimal performance. One way to regain free space is to run Monolingual to remove the unneeded language modules. Just don't remove the English module (I also kept the American english module). I saved 2 GB the first time I ran it on my MacBook Pro (intel). Do not run any of the other options, particularly if you have an intel model.
Now, back to the library. Just getting of some photos may not be enough to give you sufficient free space but you can do some. Except for portrait photos that came from a camera with the auto-rotate option, you can get rid of all your modified files by doing a library wide Photos->Revert to Original. Those auto-rotated files will be recreated again.
If the budget permits, as external FW HD is a very cost effective insurance against losing those irreplaceable photos and other critical files. With an external HD you can create a second library on it and copy those photos you want to save but remove from your original library with iPhoto Library Manager like this.
Or, put those photos you want to remove from the library but not get rid of entirely in an album and burn them via the Share->Burn menu option. That will create a disk, CD or DVD, that can be mounted in iPHoto to view and/or copy back those that you might need at a later date.
Note: the demo video are for iPhoto 7 but is the same for iPhoto 6.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
