HT1343 how can I open an empty file (Word, Excel, Texedit, ...) in a given folder that is already open on my desktop ?

I would like to open empty files (especially Office) directly in a sub-folder I am already working in, without searching and browsing the path in the "Save as ... " command. Does anybody knows how to do that ?

The .ascm file format is a standard that was agreed upon by the industry
some ten or more years ago, and it's used by most, if not all, of the
epublication programs that are in use now. That includes the Overdrive
software that libraries stateside use most of the time. If you're having
this issue with more than one library, I'd check out one other area before
I give up. If you have Windows 7 as your operating system, some of its
security settings can prevent the library software from activating ADE on
your computer. I'm an XP person, so I can't pinpoint which ones to look
at, but there are others reading the blog that may be able to help you.
The library's technical support people may be able to help also.
You're incorrect on expecting ADE to find the ,ascm file on your computer.
That file should exist only during the transfer, and I believe that there
are some expiration parameters inside the file, so you have only a small
window of time to use it. Remember that this file type is only a 'pointer'
- it's not an ebook.
Bottom line? This issue is quite rare on the forum, and there are
literally thousands of other users who don't have this issue. It's not the
product. If you are indeed 'fed up' with the ADE experience, you can look
into other epublication management software: Bluefire Reader, Overdrive
(which most libraries seem to use) and Calibre would be possibilities.
Hope this helps!

How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again

How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again. Also they might remove them from internet so I can't rely on the bookmark to them.

I'm trying to send home movies to my 10 year old nephew who lives across the country. He doesn't have a computer. He has an iPod touch. His parents have computers. But I don't want everything I ever try to have him do result in "you need your parent's computer for this." It's getting really embarrassing. I have converted my family over to Apple computers but now they want to buy iPhones, iPads, and iPods even though I tell them to go Android. It took a decade to convert them away from windows now I'm trying to keep them away from these freedom limited iOS devices and they won't listen. Then it becomes my responsibility to make their iPads print to their fancy pre-airprint color laser jet printers, get home movies onto them, and countless other things. It's driving me nuts.
I have converted these files to a format that the iOS devices will play directly off of dropbox. Now, how do I get the infernal devices to save it instead of play it?

Just upgraded to Lion, how can i use my microsoft office especially excel. I'm getting messages that it's no longer supported. This is a BIG problem. Help, please.

Just upgraded to Lion, how can I use my microsoft office especially excel. I'm getting messages that it's no longer supported. This is a BIG problem. Help, please.

Apple has made a serious error not advising people when the Lion upgrade occurs that their present software may/will not be compatible and advise the user of such before and allow a opt out.
All you can do (besides upgrading all your software) is backup your data off the machine (not to TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and erase your makers hard drive on the far left, (that's the entire drive of everything)
Partition tab: Option: GUID, format OS X extended and click apply so you get a new GUID (replacing the Lion one or trouble occurs later)
Quit and install 10.6, then go through setup and use the same name as before, then update to 10.6.8
Then c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility to Repair the disk the 10.6.8 update messed up.
Then install all your programs again from fresh sources and lastly your user files in the same main user folders as before (music, pictures, documents etc.)
Done as described will get you back just like it was before as close as possible, make SURE to use the same username or else your iTunes and other files get all messed up. Password and drive name can be different though if you wish.
Note: if you've upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6, then you don't get the free iLife as it's not on the 10.6.3 white disks, only on the disks that came with your machine. So that will have to be purchased and reinstalled or use Pacifist to extract it from the 10.5 disks.
This handy site can advise you what software doesn't work with the Lion.

When I click a link to open it in a new tab, firefox jumps to another tab that is already opened.

I have my options set to open new windows as a new tab. But when I do, rather than staying in the tab I'm in (even though I have options set to stay there not go to the new tab immediately) Firefox sends me to ANOTHER Tab that is already opened (neither the current one nor the newly opened one).

That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

Opening MS Office files (Word, Excel etc) in Mail on iPad

Have a new iPad so please forgive me if I ask the obvious ...
Most my clients are on MS Office so when I get an email with a Word or Excel file, it's a problem as the iPad transfers it into a winmail.dat file which I can't open. I've downloaded the following Apps in the hope it would help but, it doesn't.
Downloaded so far: Keynote, Pages, Documents 2, PDFReaderLite, File Viewer and DocsToGo.
Help!

I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files. They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
Very strange.
Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ??

How can I get my mail (on Mountain Lion) not to store filed emails that are already stored on the server

I am having issues with my Mail. I am trying to find out how to keep my computer from storing mail that I have put into the servers folders. Many of my messages have large attachments, and to me, it seems to be eating up ALOT of space on my computer. I have ten folders that strore up to 2 gigs of old data each. I am afraid if i delet them from the mail( on my mac ) it will delete it in on my server. (Yahoo) I have looked quite a few places, to no avail.
Thanks for any suggestions

Yes, deleting messages with your Mac from IMAP folders will delete them from the IMAP server. That's how IMAP is supposed to work.
While not exactly what you requested, you might consider setting the account in question to cache messages but omit attachments. That's in the Advanced tab of Accounts inside Mail Preferences. You can even set it to "Don't keep copies of any messages," but then you can't read any message when not connected to the network.
You cannot set that option folder by folder, but you can set it account by account.

It's not a spreadsheet, that is why.
Open it with TextEdit.

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC.

No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either. It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected. VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB. All of which cannot be opened or selected.
Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC. Is that the same? Thank you for your time and response.

Long hold on the document in mail and it should give you the open in... option, select adobe reader and the file is now saved locally for viewing even while offline.

How can I save an indd file as an idml file without opening the document?

I cannot open an InDesign file that was made in a later version of InDesign because I don't have the right plugins. How can I convert this indd file to an idml file without opening it?

Well..... sort of depends on your version.
If you have any version as part of CC subscription, the latest updates are supposed to be using a cloud-based service to generate the IDML for you so that you can open the newer files seamlessly.

How can I attach a pdf file to outgoing mail without it opening up within the message?

How can I attach a pdf file to outgoing mail without in opening up within the message?

You can use the Share button on Preview's toolbar. Choosing Email pops open Mail with the PDF already iconified as an attachment. If it doesn't behave this nicely for you, select the PDF in Mail and choose the right contextual menu, where you will find View as Icon. I also have Send Windows-Friendly attachments enabled.

Using `n how can i add two empty line (two carriage return), between these two lines in the output file?

hi friends
using `n how can i add two empty line (two carriage return), between these two lines in the output file?
PS C:\> $env:COMPUTERNAME | add-content c:\file.txt
PS C:\> $Env:USERDOMAIN | add-content c:\file.txt
i tested "$env:computername`n`n`n$env:userdomain" | add-content c:\file.txt but it results in
myPCMyDomain
but i wanted the contents of the output file be like this:
MyPC
#empty line here
#empty line here
MyDomain
i tested many other forms but didn't work.
thanks

I tried it, as well. The line breaks were respected in the PowerShell console, Programmer's Notepad, and Word; they weren't in Notepad.
You are using a Unicode file. Locale is what?
If you just want notepad compatible line breaks then do this:
del file.txt ; "$env:computername`r`n`r`n`r`n$env:userdomain" | add-content file.txt ;notepad file.txt
Look in hex to see that `n is ^L or 0xA and is only one character. CrLf is 0xD 0xA - two characters.
My programmers editors and VS all understand a single ^L as a line break so does PowerShell. Only DOS/Notepad and other utilitis don't understand this..
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
Then link to this using the url "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
My user name is "wayne"
so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector
