How to organise files?

Hi all, I'm running OSX Mavericks and it's running great. However, I'm finding it really difficult to manage my photo collection. When I plug in my camera I drag the photos I want to keep into my Google Drive and Dropbox. I use Google Drive and Dropbox for my cloud setup. I love how Dropbox automatically imports my photos when I plug in my digital camera, but Google Drive doesn't do this. I tried running 'Google+' but it looks like it only works on phones and I'm just using a camera.
Thanks!

If you are new to using a Mac, then do you know about iPhoto? It will automatically begin to organize your photos, as well as give you great tools for further organization and editing, and even more possibilities. It should have come with your Mac already installed. Or else you can download it from the App Store.

How to organise files/folders by size

Hi,
I am currently using Mac OS X Version 10.7.4 and have been warned that I'm running out of space on the HD so I have opened up Finder and arranged the folders by size order so that i can get rid of the larger files first. The largest folder was the Desktop folder but I have now emptied the desktop of everything and emptied the trash but it still says that it's the largest folder and is placed underneith the "From 10GB to 1TB" subheading. I have changed the arrangment from Size to Name and then back to size again to see if it would reset but Desktop is still listed as the largest folder. I have also restarted the computer but still no change.
What obvious thing amn I doing wrong?
If you nee anymore details about this system then please feel free to ask and I'll try to provide you with the information that you require.
I know it's not the end of the world, but it would be handy to find out why this is happening.
Thank you in advance for your help.

For this particular task, the Finder is a clumsy and unreliable tool. There are a number of tools designed for exactly this task. One of the best (which is now free) is OmniDiskSweeper.

How to organise Lightroom catalogue, in such a way that the catalogue can be used on another comput

how to organise(and save) Lightroom catalogue, in such a way that the catalogue can be used on another computer? / so you can see what has been edited etc. /

Yes, but external disks will always be slower than internal drives.
Look into file synchronization software. As long as folder structure is identical inside the two master folders, and drive letters the same, you can keep the two machines fully synchronized very easily, going both ways. The one I use cost about $50 or so.
Use a large capacity 2,5" portable (goes in your pocket) for transport. You need the entire master folder there, but once set up only new or modified files are copied.
The Lightroom catalog can be synchronized with the rest, so that you are working with the same catalog on both machines. This overwrites the catalog with a new copy every time, so a regular backup schedule in addition is a must. OTOH you will have three copies of every file, one always off-site. That's sound backup practice.
Tip: exclude the Lr Previews folder from the synchronization. They are written to disk in such a way that they take an insanely long time to copy. New previews will be built on the receiving machine.

How to organize files in 'Folder'

Hi everyone, I always use 'Folder' to listen to my music. Primarily because the Jam doesn't recognize more than 2000 songs which forces me to use the Folder option if I want to listen to most of my albums. My problem is the order in which the files are organised within the 'Folder'. The files, currently, are ordered partially alphabetical en partially at random. I have no idea why some albums are ordered 1-2-3-4-5-6 alphabetically and others go 3-4-2-6-1-5.Has anyone found out how to manipulate files/folders/documents within the folder into (alphabetical) order? Sincerely, Someone who misses his clip+

I assume that the Jam, like the Sport, organizes folders and files by when they were added as vs. otherwise (apart from when you are using the database). A way to counteract this is to use a program like FAT Sorter periodically, which in essence sorts the files then there anew. This may help you with at least part of your issue.

As to your final comment: the Clip+ still can be found . . . . Check out the SanDisk Outlet store. http://shop.sandisk.com/store?SiteID=sdiskus&Action=DisplayCategoryProductListPage&categoryID=13937600&resultsperPage=100

Hi Vijayakumar,

How do I file a complaint about horrible, incompetent and negligent customer service?

I might sound super rambling but I am very frustrated and just tired of explaining the situation over and over and over.
On Wednesday, January 21st, I got a call from Verizon Loyalty Department about a "promotion", which I get $25 credit on each line if I upgrade with edge plan. I wasn't sure what phone to change, so I asked them to call me back on Friday. They called me on Thursday, but I couldn't get the call, so I called them on Friday and talked to the customer service. I wasn't still sure about the upgrades, so I asked them about the upgrades with $25 credit would still apply several weeks later if I decide to upgrade, the first representative whom I've talked to looked at my plan and said something like, "Yes, that is absolutely possible. I was looking through your plan, and since you are a loyal customer and ended your 2 year contract with us, I can give you $25 off on your each line. I asked them would I still get the $25 credit for each line when I upgrade to edge plan. He said yes because the $25 off that he is giving me is for the monthly charge and the edge plan $25 credit was for the equipment charges. So Month to Month $25 off was applied on the Jan 24th, and activated on 29th.
After I finally decided to upgrade my phone, I called Verizon customer service the next week. I do not recall the exact day but on 28th or 29th I called to upgrade it, and the second representative also assured me that the credits were going to happen, and then he offered me to bump down my data to 6 gb from 8 gb to save money because I use less then 6 gb each month. I bumped down to 6gb loyalty plan so I was only paying $60 per month instead of $70 per month. The representative told me I would be only paying around $120 per month. I forgot to ask my sister what phone she wanted to change, so I didn't upgrade it right a way. So only the data plan changed on that day.
I was extremely busy with my work for few weeks, and I finally called again to upgrade it, the third representative told me different old me that the previous representative was wrong about giving me another $25 credit when I upgrade with edge plan. So I ended up upgrading both of my lines with $25 credit on each line plus $60 for 6gb data. But she said I would be still paying less then what I normally pay, which is around $183. I upgraded and took me few days to receive my phone. I checked my bill and it was showing different than what I was told. I called again and explain all this thing again and the lady adjusted my data plan - 6gb loyalty plan for $50. She said she doesn't know what other representative was doing, but this will fix that I would only pay around $150-160 per month. After I got my phone, I called verizon to activate my phone (I don't really remember it was before or after, I just talked to them too many times and they have changed my promotions and plans too many times in very short time). He also confirmed $25 credit off for each line, but there was one time tax fee that none of the representative has mentioned while I asked bunch of questions about the upgrading fee and how much it would cost on the first month and etc.)
After all of that happened, I was settled and didn't think about the payment until I got $290 with only $15 credit on my bill. I called again and asked what happened and the representative told me she doesn't know why this happened and why the previous representatives told you something that weren't true. and I had to go through the explanation again. She said she fixed it and everything was taken care of.
I checked my bill today. My plan was changed to $90 for 6gb and I was paying $30 more than I originally paying which was around $180 and $50 more than I was supposed to pay. I called the representative today, explained the previous situation and asked why this happened. Basically he told me that all the previous representatives were lying to me. Are you kidding me? They were lying to me? How am I suppose to know if he wasn't "lying" to me? He said only thing he can do is change back to my original plan and amount, and I would pay $6 more than what I used to pay which was about $183.. I asked me if I would get the the 8gb back. He told me that isn't possible. The change did not happen so far. I am tired of calling verizon and more tired of getting different answers from different representative.
I am seriously concerning about changing my service to different carrier. I have to call the verizon every single month when there is a change in my plan. If they were really lying about the promotion and plan just to sell more service, they should be suspended or fired or something, and I need my money back for overcharged fee and need some kind of compensation for my wasted time and stress I got from this.

Okay. You are just missing the whole point, and I am not saying anything after this. I did go to the website to read about the edge plan after I got a call from the loyalty department. I asked the questions on some parts I didn't understand (or was confused of) to the representatives. But my main question was whether I was getting $25 credit and in what conditions. They all answered differently to the same question. (My original question - Do I get the $25 credit with edge plan?- One rep. offered me that month to month $25 off before my upgrade. Other rep. confirmed $25 off plus $25 credit with edge and offered bumping down data plan to save extra money. Another rep denied $25 off plus $25 credit with edge but confirmed decrease in my monthly payment by bumping down the data plan. Other rep denied both. You see what I am talking about? I asked one question to begin with: am I getting the $25 credit with edge upgrade plan - and they are the one who offered me different promotions and offers)
I also left the part that I actually went to the website and 'researched' the different plans that all the representatives were talking about after I hung up on the phone each time. I joined the forum today because I wanted to know where and how I could file the complaints on verizon customer service after today's call. I should have been more clear on what I was asking, but I thought I was clear enough on my title "How do I file a complaint...?" Yes I am angry at the fact I didn't get what I thought I was getting, but I am more frustrated the fact every single time I talked to the customer service I get an answer from the rep. I am on the phone, saying "Previous representative you've talked were wrong about this," or "They were lying." The representative, then, would fix my issue, but I would still get the conflicted bills. Don't I suppose to call the customer service to fix it? What's the customer service for if it's not for that?

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.

Do you want to return the file to the user on click of button or something?
Then, use web_show_document with http link which you are speaking about.
Else download the file to client using Webutil.

How to access file from AIX server to windows

HI all,
My question is how to represent file folder name of that server
my file folder in AIX server and i want to access that file in window s machine.
* is this the right way to represent the data folder in physical schema declaration
file:///<aix server IP>/usr/oracledi/oracldi/data

No, it is not. Filename magic alone will not do the job.
AIX supports NFS (network file system) or you can use samba (implementation of the Microsoft SMB protocol to share resources in Un*x) .
