How to show file names in russian (for instance) in the terminal window?

I have a file with its name in russian. It shows fine in Finder. The terminal, however, shows it in question marks like this:
*mark:/Users/Shared/Documents >l*
*total 8*
*drwxrwxr-x 5 yana parents 170 Jun 2 19:51 ForPrint/*
*drwxrwxr-x 8 mark parents 272 Jul 6 22:30 Movies & Multiki/*
*drwxrwxr-x 338 mark parents 11492 Aug 17 17:14 Photos & Clips/*
*drwxrwxr-x 2 mark parents 68 May 29 21:50 SC Info/*
*drwxrwxr-x 35 yana parents 1190 Jun 1 10:15 StarOfWeek/*
*drwxr-xr-x 17 mark parents 578 Sep 15 15:11 ?????????????? ??????????????/*
But when I run the directory listing through cat the contents display all right:
*mark:/Users/Shared/Documents >l | cat*
*total 8*
*drwxrwxr-x 5 yana parents 170 Jun 2 19:51 ForPrint/*
*drwxrwxr-x 8 mark parents 272 Jul 6 22:30 Movies & Multiki/*
*drwxrwxr-x 338 mark parents 11492 Aug 17 17:14 Photos & Clips/*
*drwxrwxr-x 2 mark parents 68 May 29 21:50 SC Info/*
*drwxrwxr-x 35 yana parents 1190 Jun 1 10:15 StarOfWeek/*
*drwxr-xr-x 17 mark parents 578 Sep 15 15:11 Детские песенки/*
Any ideas?
Thanks.

How to show file names of photos in iMovie '11

I'm making the move from iMovie 6 to iMove '11.
I always carefully name my digital photos with a serial number and what the image is of. For example "001 Kawailoa Bay, Kauai.jog"
In 6 I could see the filename of an imported image/photo on the timeline which easily allowed me to add the needed caption (title) to the video, reading the needed info and typing it into the caption text.
In '11 I cannot see any properties of the image/photo that will show me the filename in the project. I have to right-click and "Reveal in Finder" to see the filename and then return to '11 to add the caption.
Am I overlooking a way to see the filename or properties of an image in the Project?
thanks

I don't know of a way to do it other than the way you are doing it with Reveal In Finder.

File information -- How to retrieve file name from header variable

Hi
I am using File Adapters to read files(.xml) and then I need to perform some database operations.
One of the requirement is storing the file name read into the DB.
I searched through the forum and got the information on how to configure this in the header variable. The link below shows the same.
File Adapter
Now, I use the XSL mapper to map the source values(from input xml file) to the corresponding table column names. So how should I get the value of the file name.
I saw some of the in-built functions to be used for this but there is not enough documentation to proceed.
Can anyone please provide some solution on this.
/Kiran.

Hi,
Here are the steps that you need to do after you have declared the variable.
1) The variable that you have declared should have the following elements
a) Filename
b) Directory
2) Use the assign activity to copy the value of the filename part of this variable to the arg that needs to be passed to the database. (most probably an invoke variable).
If you still have any problems implementing this, mail me at [email protected]..and i'll send you the screen shots for the entire process.
ciao,

How to add file name by sqlldr

Hi All,
Can anyone kindly give me an approach to use a variable in a sql loader ctl file. I am trying to add the value before each insert of row and this value is the file name. So the question is how can I dynamically identify the input data file name, if not, is there a way I can make my SQL Loader to insert a value (file name) before each row into the table.
my control file like below ,
LOAD DATA
INTO TABLE "user"."AAA_BILL"
APPEND
REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
EXCEPTIONS "USER"."AAA_BILL"
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
(Streamnumber ,
MSID ,
UserName,
Domain,
UserIP ,
Correlation_ID)and the loading script as below ,
for j in $(GetFileNames)
do
let i=$i+1
sqlldr user/pass control="/u01/ctrlfile/loadBILLDtl.ctl" log=$WiMAXlog$j.log data=$WiMAXsource$j bad=$WiMAXlog$j.bad
GetFileNames ()
sqlplus -s user/pass << EOF
set echo off
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET heading off
set pagesize 50000
select bi_file_name from dbm_bill_head where bi_file_name like 'WiMAX_%' and bi_auto_status=35 order by bi_file_name;
EOF
}What I am trying to accomplish here is, I want to insert the data file name along with other data in the data file into table AAA_BILL and this table has the file name coloumn, but the data file does not contain the file name as one of its contents.
Note : my DB is 10G and OS is RHEL
any help please ,

Hi,
Now it is working just well.
I kept 2 variables: one with the POSIX file path for my do shell script and another one (using the provided tip here) for the Applescript function.
The only problem I had left was that teh file was writen in, maybe, UTF8 so I added to the open for access a "as text" at the end to make the file as straith text file.
I always found languages like Applescript a little bit hard to learn. Strangely, I have less difficulty with Cocoa!
Thanks for avery one here!

How to show employee names in descending order but 3rd row is fixed and always top on the table ?

how to show employee names in descending order but 3rd row is fixed and always top on the table ?
for example employee names is A,B,C, D, E
and output is C,E,D,B,A

Since you are posting in the design forum, the short answer is - you don't. Rows in a table have no inherent order that you can rely on and the "position" of rows is a visual characteristic that should be implemented by the application that displays
this information or by the query that is used to generate the resultset.
So the next question is how one accomplishes this particular order within a select statement. That is a tsql question which, for future reference, is best posted to the tsql forum. In addition, many of the questions or issues that you will face
have been discussed in the forums - often many, many times. The first thing you should do when faced with an issue is to simply search the forums and leverage the the knowledge that has already been discussed. In doing so you are quite likely to
see suggestions or related issues that you should consider in your search for a solution.
Now, to answer the question - you need to formulate a order by clause that forces the rows to be sorted in the manner you desire. Effectively you have 2 levels of sorting. The first level divides your rows into 2 groups. Group 1 consists
of rows where name = E and Group 2 is everything else. Following that you then need to sort the rows in each group by name in descending order. Something like:
order by case name when E then 1 else 2 end, name desc

" the volume for (file name) cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again."

I get an error message in iPhoto when I click on thumbnails of pictures in certain albums. It reads 'the volume for "(file name)" cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.' What does this mean and how do I fix it?

It means that you imported the files in Referenced mode and have now remvoed them from the Mac. Put the disk or card back.

Show file name

Is there a way to show file names with the events, in the event library window?

Sevy2205 wrote:
... I imported a large number of files and I want to make sure I have them all and they are some I want to identify quickly, I am looking for a way to see the file name in the event library....
that is beyond the CONCEPT of this 15€ consumer product
iM is meant for camcorder-imports - cams give automatic file-names with very little information (clip001); the more important info are in the meta-tags (when, perhaps where, after analyzing who, what) .. so, from the intended perspective of this app, there's no need/function to display clip-names.
the EVENT-concept structures on time-stamp, based upon the assumption, you record your movies on some 'daily' basis, think of vacations, city-trips, holidays ...
for your workflow, using 'files', I would suggest to prep all files in Finder, create folders, re-name them, arrange them (you do know, in Finder hitting Space-bar when a file is selected, it shows a preview? video as motion pictures?), whatever to structure them, THEN import to iM for editing.-

How to show company name and contact name on the incoming calls of iPhone 4

Kindly provide me with a useful solution of how to show company name and contact name on the incoming calls of iPhone4.
even with an application or from the setting of the iPhone itself, but without telling me a solution like writting the company name in the contact name field.
This is a very important option, i think it is a must, not an option and apple should fix this problem fastly. because it is already available in the older models of iPhone like iPhone 3G and 3GS.
How an important feature like this could be available in old models, but in the later models is not available?

Currently not possible without putting the company name in the contact name's field. AFAIK, it's never been available on any iOS version.
You might check the App Store for an app that can do this although I'm pretty sure you won't find one.

How to place file names with thumbnails?

I have several thousand images that need to go online but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add file names to the thubnails. Every bit of documentation I've read talks about adding it to the larger images only. I figured that part out but can't I have file names for the thumbnails too?

Bummer. I was hoping for a secret key to take me there. I have too
many images that can be scanned via thumbnails and for the detail
shots they can go larger. There is no way I can use this as it is with
9000+ images that need to be gone through quickly. Thanks for the
answer.

Framemaker uses $filename for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen?

Framemaker uses <$filename> for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen? In compiling our books it would be helpful to not have this extension appear as it then requires us to create extra files without them.

When I try to File Save As on an .FLV movie, Firefox automatically changes the filetype to .mp4 while Chrome for instance retains the .FLV file type. I wanted to see why this is and how it can be fixed to work similarly to Chrome. Thanks.

If that file is an FLV file then Firefox should save it as such and not change the file extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters

I have an SSIS task that has run successfully for years. They just moved the dtsx to a new server and now it is failing.
Issue:
The task has a data flow that writes a raw file destination. It then has a subsequent data flow that reads the raw file destination.
The path and name of the raw file is passed to each of the data flows via the same variable.
The raw file resides in a folder on the server in the same path that the dtsx resides in.
The task fails with the "The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters" error when trying to access the raw file.
What we have done to troubleshoot:
1. I ran the task successfully on my local machine so it is definitely a server issue.
2. The first thing we were seeing was that it failed trying to write to the raw file. The task is set to "Create Always".
3. We saw that the dba's copied over the entire directory structure from the old server which included a previously created raw file, so we deleted the raw file.
4. We reran the task and it successfully wrote a new raw file but then failed on reading the raw file with the same error as above.
5. We reran the task AGAIN and this time it failed trying to write the raw file throwing the same error as above.
6. The dba looked at the directory and the account that performs the task has full control.
7. The dba looked at the raw file that was created and verified that the account that performs the task has full control of the file and that it is the owner of the file.
Summary:
The task fails when trying to access the file EXCEPT when the file does not exist. In that situation it can write the file but subsequently fails in accessing it again.

Hi Whalensdad,
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the following reasons:
There are some invalid characters in the File name at package runtime. In this scenario, just as Russ said, could you please post the value that is in the File name variable? Also use a Script Task with Messagebox.show to show the variable values at runtime.
May be it changes to others at run time.
The account runs the package not having access to all the folders in the path. Since you are moving the dtsx file from one server to the current server, do you also move the raw file to the same folder in the current server? Does the user runs the package
have access to all the folders in the path? To solve this, please ensure that the user has access to all folders and the raw file in the path on the current server.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Please see the response above. I can't use a message box on a server so I logged the values to the database. The resource account has full control to the folder. I haven't been able to get the DBA to check the SQL Agents permissions, but I was always under
the impression that if you use "Run As" on the task, it will not use the SQL Agent but the account you identify it to "Run As". The "Run As" account has full control on the folder and file.

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

HT201745 There is no support in the website of apple ( a famous company for namesake) for resolving the problems arising out of latest version of itunes. I find no button for sync in the new window of itunes then how can I sync music to my ipod classic.

Sir,
On the hope that latest version of itunes will work more for me, I downloaded the itunes version 12 recently. But to my surprise the sync button is not there even if I connect the ipod ( classic iOS 1.3 version). My ipod serial No.is 8L730BL1V9M and it is ipod classic with buttonwheel. I am having 32bit Windows vista home premium and using DELL system. How I can find sync button and for your information, the itunes player window shows every song I have in the library and I cannot sync the songs to my ipod. Hitherto there was no such problem for playing and copying songs from and to my ipod. What is the remedy ? please tell if anybody knows.

Hello ramaraoananthapadmanabhan,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the new version of iTunes. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing in iTunes when you have your iPod classic connected. If you are having issues setting up syncing to your iPod in the new version of iTunes, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
