HT4614 How can I define shortcut keys to run apps, files and folders, OS X?

Hi
It could make work so fast by using shortcut keys
For example using "option + command + Control+P" to go to "picture" folder.
but cant do it in Mountain Lion
is there any way to do that?
Thank you!
Safa

To define keyboard shortcuts use the keyboard Preferences > Shortcuts panel in the Preferences.
Create an Automatotor service, to open the folder you want,
Install that service in your User Library "Services" folder (for example named "OpenPicturesFolder)
Then bind that service to the keycombination you want.
A simple service to open the "Pictures" folder could look like this:
First, an action "Get Specified Finder Items" to select the "Pictures" folder,
Then "Open Finder Items" to open that folder.
You do not need to create a service, if there are already menu commands that do what yu want. Then simply bind the menu command to the key combination.
Good Luck

How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
(Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album. That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing. Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

Thanks for your replies ckuan
I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work. It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer. The folder structure is completely missing. I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better. Bye bye iTunes!!
Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler. Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler. Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure. OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files. No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted. iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library. Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

I've been using the PWS to run the website on NT workstation 4.0. It was working
fine. 
The URL should be as below: 
http://127.0.0.1/index.htm or http://localhost/index.htm
And suddently, it stops working, it can't find the connection. I tried to figure
out what's going on, but still NO CLUES. Does anyone
know what's going on? Please see the link for more.... I believe that I setup
everything correctly and the bugs still flying in the server.... 
Thank you for your help.

Hi!
This is a possible solution to your problem.
import java.io.*;
class AddressExtractor {
 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
 //retrieve the commandline parameters
 String fileName = "default.html";
 if (args.length != 0) fileName =args[0];
 else {
 System.out.println("Usage : java AddressExtractor <htmlfile>");
 System.exit(0);
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));
 StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(in);
 st.lowerCaseMode(true);
 st.wordChars('/','/'); //include '/' chars as part of token
 st.wordChars(':',':'); //include ':' chars as part of token
 st.quoteChar('\"'); //set the " quote char
 int i;
 while (st.ttype != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
 i = st.nextToken();
 if (st.ttype == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD) {
 if (st.sval.equals("href")) {
 i = st.nextToken(); //the next token (assumed) is the '=' sign
 i = st.nextToken(); //then after it is the href value.
 getURL(st.sval); //retrieve address
 in.close();
 static void getURL(String s) {
 //Check string if it has http:// and truncate if it does
 if (s.indexOf("http://") > -1) {
 s = s.substring(s.indexOf("http://") + 7, s.length());
 //check if not mailto: do not print otherwise
 if (s.indexOf("mailto:") != -1) return;
 //printout anything after http:// and the next '/'
 //if no '/' then print all
 if (s.indexOf('/') > -1) {
 System.out.println(s.substring(0, s.indexOf('/')));
 } else System.out.println(s);
}Hope this helps. I used static methods instead of encapsulating everyting into a class.

How do I set up my iPad for outlook files and folders

I want to see and use, on my iPad, the same files and folders I have in outlook on my PC. Also I want any changes I make on the PC or the iPad to sync with each other.
PC is running Windows 7,
Outlook version 2007, not the exchange version although I think I can get that by re-installing outlook and choosing that option.(I don't understand what exchange is but don't bother to explain it unless the solution requires using it)
I currently use Gmail for my email accounts server. They are set up as POP accounts with Outlook using a .PST data file. However, IMAP is available for Gmail. My brief past experience with IMAP and .OST data files was kind of a disaster so it isn't my 1st choice for this.
As I understand it using Outlook 365 with Microsoft's cloud and mobile app would solve my problem but I don't like clouds, 365 or IMAP (I may have to concede on some of those). If there is a way to do it through the Gmail accounts without any other cloud that would be ideal since they already have all my email and I won't be spreading my personal info to other companies.
I do have a Drop Box account but I currently only use it for some well vetted specific files that I share with specific individuals.
I do not have any computer or network drive that is always on and might serve as a private cloud. That could be changed but then i'm relying there being no ISP or power interruptions which, of course do occasionally happen.
Obviously I'm being rather picky here knowing that I'll probably have to live with some things less than ideal.
I will consider 3rd party apps if they seem to be part of the solution.
Thank you in advance for any person/s that want to help me on this.
hsvt

Thanks. I can change the forwarding settings in Gmail to be either POP or IMAP. That is quite simple. I just looked at those settings on the Gmail server and, to my surprise, both are enabled. In order for outlook client on my computer to receive IMAP emails I have to change the email account settings in my current outlook from POP to IMAP. I don't need to be using the Exchange version of Outlook to receive IMAP. I guess I'll do a little research tomorrow on Exchange so i can figure out what, if anything, it might do for me.
I glanced at the link you sent me and it looks like it might be very helpful - another project for tomorrow.
BTW: I hit "This Solved my Question" by accident. I meant only to "like' your response so you would get some benefit from the help you've given me so far. I hope I haven't discouraged others from taking a shot at helping me. I suspect there is more than one way to approach this and, as you know, my problem isn't really solved until I have what I need all set up and running smoothly.

How can I import images from iphoto with the albums and folders?

How can I import images from iphoto without losing the albums and folders I already created?

In Organizer, you can choose File>get Photos and Videos>From iPhoto.
Importing from iPhoto'09: If in iPhoto, you organize your media using photo references, that is, the media actually does not reside inside iPhoto library package, and are referenced through original locations, Organizer does not create new copies of those media and just refer to the original location. but if your iPhoto media reside inside iPhoto library, Organizer creates a copy all media in your pictures folder, also imports albums and tags and other metadata.
Importing from iPhoto'011: In this case, Organizer always creates a copy of your photos in your pictures folder which resides inside iPohto package. It does not import the albums and other metadata like star rating, caption etc.
Hope this information helps!

Can somebody point me to what I need to use to
intercept all the 'keys' for an application.
At the moment I have set Focus to parts of the
application when the Mouse is over it, and then get
the Keys with a KeyListener.
Is there a way to get the keys, as long as the Java
app is active.
- Its an image display program, and I want to use keys
for - next image , zooom etc etc.
If soemone could just point me to the right part of
the API to look in?java.awt.Toolkit.addAWTEventListener()
then use the mask defined in AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK to listen to all the events.

How are collections defined in the new 'Photos' app? and can they be changed?

Hi
I was just having a look at my photo collection on my mac and realised that when in the year view all the photos orders seem to be correct, but when I zoomed in a level to collections, some of the older photos jumped to the end - I realised this was because the date range of the most recent collection spanned a long time period and so got pushed back in the list.
This got me thinking.. what actually defines the collections? and am i able to change whats in the collections? I keep getting confused when the photos keep jumping around when I zoom in and out of each level
thanks for your help!

what actually defines the collections? and am i able to change whats in the collections?
Apple is not very specific about collections and Moments.
The Help says: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht56eafa987
A moment is a group of photos and videos taken around the same time and in the same place—for example, an afternoon at the beach.
A collection is a group of related moments—for example, your entire beach vacation.
The Years view groups all of your photos taken in the same year together, so you can quickly view your entire library at a glance. You can also view your photos individually to see more detail and make edits.
and am i able to change whats in the collections?
No way. The partitioning in moments, collections, years is automatic. You would have to adjust the dates, to force a different grouping.
The help text on years does not seem to be correct. I am seeing larger year groups in my library than just one year of photos in a year:

How can i define a default calendars between local calendars and osxserver

Hi OSX lovers,
I am using iCal as my e-agenda.
Now, working in a company, I am sharing a calendar originally located on the osx server.
The problem I have, when I receive an event invitation, iCal propose me to add this event to my "local" calendars and not the one I am sharing on the osx server.
My wish would be to be able to define my osx server agenda as my default agenda and that all events would be published in it and not only localy.
thanks for your idea, creativity or feedback
Best regards,
Mesh

If the server sends an encoding then Firefox will always switch to that encoding. 
The default is only used on pages where the server does not send en encoding via the HTTP response header and the code doesn't specify the encoding via a meta tag.
There is usually no need to change the encoding from the default setting Western (ISO-8859-1).
It is probably better to try an Auto-Detect setting (e.g. View > Character Encoding > Auto-Detect > Universal) if you have a problem on specific websites.

How can I copy a table from a web file and paste it into a word document on a pc?

I am having diffculty getting a pdf file from a web document pasted into my word document. I do no get the option to copy or save as a table. I can copy and paste the text but I lose the table and the format and just get the text. Anybody know what I can do to solve this?

Try holding down the alt key as you mark the text to be copied. You can then copy columns to table text.

How can I create a link to a pdf file and show it in the same webpage or in a new tab

It is no problem to create a link. But the formats are limited and - unbelievable - the pdf format is not supported??!
Where are the parameter (_blank or _self) to show it for example in the same webpage or in a new tab??!

PDF is media. It is not a web document. Your end users must have plug-ins and helper apps installed on their device to see PDFs in browsers. Depending on their settings, the PDF file may or may not launch in the browser window. On my system, PDF files download and launch inside Acrobat Professional; not my browser.
The safest approach is to provide a screenshot on your page with a direct link to the PDF file so people can handle it as they wish. See example: http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/
