How to Repair A File Changed into an Alias?

hello,
so i have a really frustrating problem. and here it is:
--oct 25 i backed up all my files onto an external hard drive (EHD)
--i upgraded my osx from snow leopard to mavericks
--attached my EHD to laptop to retrieve files
--discovered that several folders and documents had been changed to aliases.
not sure why this happened because i have drag and dropped files and folders directly from my desktop to my EHD without any changes. in fact i created a folder and some files on my desktop and drag and dropped them into the same EHD without any issues.
--i thought it might have something to do with mavericks.
--i resintalled snow leopard. still have the same problem & i cannot open the files or folders that have been changed into aliases on my EHD.
for one folder's type description, it says it is a unix executable file not an alias. even though there is a little black arrow showing on the folder icon.
when i try to open another folder with a black arrow it says: the alias "_______" cannot be opened because the original item can't be found
another message i am getting when i try to open a word document, .docx, with an arrow is: item "_______" is used by Mac OS X and can't be opened....
i compared two documents--one with an arrow and one without---there were several differences of course. the arrowed document has changed and the UTI, type, creator and format are the changes. now the format is HFS+ not MS-DOS.
does anyone know what kind of problem this is and how to fix it?
thanks in advance

You can put its code into the XML by using a textual encoding such as Base64. However, as images tend to have quite a lot of bytes and textual encodings tend to increase the amount of data even more, I'd rather deliver a pack of files and just state path/name of the images in XML.

How do I share files uploaded into the Creative Cloud with other creative cloud members?

How do I share files uploaded into the Creative Cloud with other creative cloud members?

Should be easy. Try this...
In Thumbnails view, click the little triangle (pointing downward) in the lower-right corner of the asset you want to share.
In the blue icon bar that appears, click the Share icon (the third icon from the left, just right of the trash icon). The Share dialog should pop up.
In the Share dialog, enter the email address of the person with whom you want to share the asset, then click the Send Email button - they'll receive an email with a link to your asset. OR
You can also copy a link to the asset and then paste that into your own email client if you prefer. To do that, click the Link icon (looks like a "chain", and is to the right of the email "envelope" icon) - then click the Copy Link button.
Note that the Share options won't be available if your asset is set to "Private" - you can control whether an asset can be viewed (or downloaded) by others by clicking the Public/Private control (green or red "lock" icon).
You can also access the same Share controls if you click on the file to see it one-up (you can do this from either Thumbnails view or List view); click the Share icon near the upper right corner of the browser window (to the right of the asset name).
Hope that helps.

When I drag pdf files into iBooks Author, the background in the pdf file changes into the colour of my book (brown/beige)?

Hi,
when I drag a pdf file (when working in Preview) into iBooks Author, the background colour in the pdf file changes into the background colour of the book.
This happens not consistently, sometimes the background of the pdf file does not change (and stays white), sometimes it's like the text in the pdf file is 'lifted' of the file, and put on the page in iBooks Author (with a brown/beige background).
All the pdf files are scanned pdf's, nothing comes out of Pages, Word, Excel,...
Anybody?
Thanks a lot!
Wouter

I have the same question (posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25644741#25644741).
I believe this is because the PDFs have transparent backgrounds. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix it is to export the PDF as another file, such as an image file. Or perhaps convert it to Word and import it that way.

(1) On the File menu, click Open.
(2) In the Open dialog box, select the file you want to open, and click the arrow next to the Open button.
(3) Click Open and Repair, and then choose which method you want to use to recover your workbook.

How to load externl files (PDF) into BLOB column. Please help.

Hi All,
I've currently been working on loading many external binary files (PDF) into BLOB column. After some digging, I learn that the SQL*LOADER can be used to load data from external files into table. I also got help from another forummate mentioning to use PL/SQL procedure to do so. Since I have not done anything like this before. So, my question is what is the simple approach needed to upload PDF files into a table(there is only one table containing BLOB column in my database). In addition, the LOBs can not be query-able, I wanted to list the contents of the LOBs column to make sure that I did successfully upload data into the database. How can I do that?. I do need your help. Please direct me step by step how to do so. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Trang

Cant figure it out even using the book The Missing Manual. Thanks sara

It sounds like this question is for Photoshop. This is a Flash forum. In any case, is your question about real folders on your computer, or server, or are asking about the files and folders in the "Layers" panel? Or, is your question about using the Library panel in Flash?

How to import modified files back into Muse

Maybe this is an easy sync issue....hopefully.
I've exported my html files from Muse (after publishing to Biz Catalyst) and want to modify the html, such as ad href's to divs in the slideshow, etc. How can I import these modified html files back into Muse so I can publish back to Business Catalyst?
I realize it's an easy solution to host the exported files on another server, but I'd really like to stay within the Muse/Biz Catalyst environment with updated html's.
thanks much!!

There isn't a way at this time to import HTML files into Muse and expect it to load in Design mode for a subsequent re-publish. The only kind of editing that Muse supports today (outside of Muse) is through Business Catalyst's In-Browser editing feature but that is limited to editing only text (without any formatting or styles) and foreground images <http://www.adobekb.com/working-with-in-browser-editing_pt01.html>. Feel free to submit your feature request over at our Ideas section.
Thanks,

How to repair .cshrc file ?

Hello, I this get error when my solaris 10 start :
//.cshrc: syntax error at line 4: '(' unexpected
my .cshrc file :
"//.cshrc" 33 lines,840 characters
#@(#)cshrc 1.1 89/11/29 SMI
umask 022
set path=(/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /etc)
setenv JAVA_HOME "/usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_07"
/usr/apache5/bin/catalina start
please tell me where is the problem, can .cshrc file change to it default value ?

alanst wrote:
set path=(/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /etc)
isn't csh. Seems valid to me.
You want to change this to:
setenv PATH /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/etcThat should work as well, but doesn't really explain the error.
The whole 'syntax error at line 4: `(' unexpected' looks more like a sh/ksh error to me. Exactly what I'd expect if the .cshrc were being executed by an sh-style shell (although bash doesn't seem to complain).

How do I stop files changing my units preferences when opening in illustrator

When I open files in illustrator that have been sent to me they sometimes open with the measurement units changed from "mm" to "cm" or even "in", not a huge problem but when I have 10 files for a job that are all doing the same its an extra bit of messing around I could do without.
They can be any kind of file .ai .eps .fs .pdf etc..., when I go into my preference to change it back it shows that it is set to "mm" already?????. I can change it to "mm" again but I have to go Edit - preferences - Units - change them to read "cm" - OK, then repeat the process Edit - Preferences - Units - change back to read "mm" and that does it.

You are welcome, maxwells3.
When you have the time (and courage), you may have a go with some of the suggestions in the list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
