.htaccess file invisible online (with a Mac)

After I upgraded to a Mac, I had some minor problems working
with the
.htaccess files I imported from my PC. (They were created
with Notepad.)
I thought I had everything squared away, but I just
discovered that I
can't see my .htaccess files in remote view.
I can see them locally, though Dreamweaver won't open them; I
open them
with TextEdit instead. But they're invisible online.
Is there some way to make them visible in Dreamweaver in
remote view, or
do I have to find some ftp client that will recognize them?
Thanks.

  • .htaccess Files Invisible on a Mac

    Sorry if this is kinda sorta a repeat question. I asked about
    it some
    time ago, but I'm in the dark again, so let me start from
    scratch.
    When I switched to a Mac and imported my websites from my PC,
    I ran into
    problems with my .htaccess files, which were originally
    created with
    Notepad. The problem is that the files are invisible - at
    least in
    certain circumstances.
    At the moment, I can see my .htaccess files with Dreamweaver
    locally,
    though I have to use another program to open them. That's no
    problem.
    However, when I switch to remote view, I can't see my
    .htaccess files. I
    need to access an .htaccess file on one of my sites so I can
    download
    it. What's the trick for viewing an .htaccess file online
    with a Mac?
    Also, what Mac-based programs can be used to create more user
    friendly
    .htaccess files? Could I do it with TextEdit or Open Office?
    Thanks.

    TextWrangler works locally, but I'd also like to be able to
    view my
    .htaccess files online.
    I just tried an FTP program - Fetch. With it, I can view my
    .htaccess
    file online, though I haven't yet figure out how to download
    it. That
    is, I can download it, but I'm not sure what location it's
    being located
    to; I haven't been able to find it yet.
    I need to find a split-screen FTP program that lets you
    download files
    from an online site to a specific local site.

  • Going online with two macs kills my internet connection!

    Here is my situation. I have two macs an iMac and a MacBook.
    I use Earthlink, have a BritePort modem and "HAD" Linksys wireless router. Everything was fine. No problems. I was able to get online with the two computers with ease, then I had problems connecting last week. If I went directly through the modem to my MacBook I can connect, but I would lose the internet intermittently throughout the day if i didn't.
    Earthlink said everything was fine as far as signal reaching my modem. So I bought an Airport Extreme thinking it was the router. Both Macs connected wirelessly on their own but then I'd lose internet whenever BOTH tried to get online at the same time.
    I would be working fine on my MacBook, but once my wife tries to get online with the iMac, it kicks us both off! If she's online on the iMac and I try to get online on the MacBook it kicks us off! This is what was happening with the Linksys too! I reconnected it, and it was only when both Macs accessed the internet that we both lost (or were fighting for) connection.
    What is going on?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    What's the model number of your BritePort modem? When you examine the configuration of your AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility, in the Internet panel, Internet Connection tab, what are the settings for "Connect Using" and "Connection Sharing"?

  • Can I keep my iCloud files from syncing with my Mac?

    I keep all of my photos on an external disk and I just upgraded my iCloud storage to both backup and make my photos available in the cloud.  However, my iCloud drive is syncing with my internal Mac drive and I'm running out of room.  Is there an option for iCloud files no to sync with my local drive?

    The Safari iCloud icon is for iCloud tabs which syncs all of your tabs in Safari between all of your iOS devices and Macs. So basically while you were dragging the iCloud icon into Finder, you were doing nothing. Also iCloud only saves information and files from certain applications such as Reminders, Notes, Messages, Safari, TextEdit, etc. If there are apps that do not natively support iCloud you cannot save their files to iCloud because Apple does not have a feature that can save any file from any app on your Mac. Sorry to tell you this.
    Hope this helps,

  • Getting random files into vPod with a Mac

    I know...I know...There are numerous other forums with the same type question. However, I have read so many other forums with this question that my eyes are bleeding. Nothing seem definitive enough. I have a mac mini, and want to transfer random .avi, .mov, .mpeg, etc. onto my vPod. I have tried them all, with 42 DVD Xplus working the easiest, but quality was super poor. Other programs cost money, and before I buy one, want to see which one is best and relatively easy for my task. (I have a solution for DVD to vPod). Any advice out there that doesn't involve writing a program!?! Thanks.

    You could try Audio Hijack Pro from Rogue Amoeba. It can record any sound from any application and create a file which can then be imported into iTunes. Find it here: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/

  • Is Thunderbolt file transfer working with two mac?

    Simple Question.
    I have two mac with Thunderbolt input.
    Connect two mac with thunderbolt cable.
    and i want transfer files like useing as firewire,Ethernet.
    i can't add thunderbolt service in Network preference.
    what did i missing?

    Hey. I have IMac late 20013 with SSD and one Macbook Air SSD, both running maveriks.
    After connecting them with Thunderbolt activating the interface on both under network and closeing the wifi on one of them. TB file transfer worked just fine. But if wifi was on it tends to prefer that interface and get much slower transfer. I tested with a 1gb file and it took about a second. So yes. Filetransfer works with out jumping in to target mode.

  • Is it possible to use creative cloud online with both Mac/windows system (on the same computer, bootcamp) without paying twice ?

    Hello, I work with a Macbook pro, divided into mac and win 8 (with Bootcamp), is it possible to use Creative Cloud subscription with both system without paying twice.
    Bonjour, J'utilise un Macbook pro partitionné Bootcamp mac et windows 8, est-il possible que l'abonnement à Creative Cloud en ligne fonctionne indifféremment dans les deux systemes (sur le même ordi), sans payer deux fois.
    Merci,

    Your subscription allows for two functioning installations (normally on separate machines, but I imagine you could install the two as you indicate).

  • .htaccess files with MAMP + ORIGINAL Apache installation

    I installed MAMP on my MacBook Pro, and it set up phpMyAdmin quite nicely, but everything else has been a disaster. Though I can't connect to my databases with Dreamweaver, so I have to link to my online database. Similarly, working with MAMP's Apache installation kills my virtual hosts - and troubleshooting that is WAY over my head.
    So I'd like to emulate other MAMP users who have decided to stick with the original Apache installation. My big goal is to simply get my .htaccess files with mod-rewrite rules to work.
    According to this article...
    http://rexselin.wordpress.com/2006/07/28/making-mod-rewrite-and-htaccess-work-on -mac-os-x/
    ....htaccess files don't work on Mac's unless you do the following:
    1) Open the httpd.conf file and uncomment these three lines:
    #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    #AddModule mod_rewrite.c
    #AccessFilename .htaccess
    The 2nd and 3rd lines were already uncommented. The closest I found to the first line was the following, which was also uncommented:
    LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/httpd/mod_rewrite.so
    I left it alone.
    2) Change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" in both the httpd.conf and /private/etc/httpd/users/MyName.conf files.
    I did this in my httpd.conf file, but if I do it in MyName.conf, it kills my virtual hosts.
    3) Restart Apache.
    Can anyone tell me what to do next? I copied some code from my Apache error logs below, in case it includes any tips. However, most of the more recent errors were probably logged when I was using MAMP's Apache program, so it might be worthless.
    Thanks!

    Please ignore this thread. I finally stumbled over the problem - a line of sloppy code in my httpd.conf was apparently creating some interference. Thanks!

  • Can EXE files be used on the MAc?

    I'm not sure if this is in the correct category, but I am trying to download a program (Rhapsody) that I used on the PC. Whenever I click to download it (there are no OS options but it system requirements it says Mac OS 10.4 or higher) it automatically goes into my downloads as an .exe file. I was under the impression that .exe files are for Windows and not the Mac.
    If I did try to open a Windows file, would it crash the Mac?
    Also, someone recently told me that an intel mac is not a real mac and intel is made by Microsoft... I have never heard of this. He said that intel macs don't work the same as "real macs" and I could have problems because it's intel. Is that correct? Is my Mac Mini version 10.5.8 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo a Mac 10.5 or a Mac intel, I am confused about this.
    Thank you!

    .EXE files will work with Intel Macs running virtualization. Boot Camp is prebundled with Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6, allowing you to boot into Windows, if you have a copy of Windows to install on your Mac that is compatible with that version of Boot Camp. Additional virtualization titles are below*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
    That said, your statement here is a bit of a oxymoron:
    Whenever I click to download it (there are no OS options but it system requirements it says Mac OS 10.4 or higher) it automatically goes into my downloads as an .exe file.
    The place giving you that download has either mislabeled the download, or is missing the download. At minimum, it should have bundled a .dmg, .gz, .sit, or .hqx document to run on 10.4. Virtualization under 10.4 is available, but it is not going to run as Boot Camp, because 10.5 is where Boot Camp is prebundled. You'd have to use Parallels, Virtualbox, or VMWare to install the .exe under 10.4 on an Intel Mac. Since you have 10.5.8, you already have Boot Camp capaibility. One problem people might run into with Intel Macs, is older PowerPC applications that access PowerPC only drivers or plugins, or need Mac OS 9. Ask the place that makes the software, if it relies on such things. If it does, inform them that they are woefully out of date, as Macs started coming with Intel chips January 2006. Find an alternative software title in that event.

    Brilliant, that clears things up - there is a single
    audio in that is next to the PC in so I guess I need
    one of the single cables you have mentioned,
    hopefully the Apple Store can point me in the right
    direction when I go in to buy my Mini.
    If the TV has a single minijack-type audio input, then the cable you need is a very standard one that can be found almost anywhere that cables for audio/home theatre systems are sold. In the old days it would be easy to point you towards the nearest Tandy, but as I understand it they're now gone. However, even supermarkets such as Tesco are likely to have something this basic!
    No doubt Apple will release an Intel Core 2 Duo
    version the day after I pick it up.
    There's no doubt that at some point Apple will revise the range and make new mini's faster or more powerful - and it may be that it happens next week at the Macworld Expo. I'd bet there are a few people holding on for a few days to see if new minis are announced there, and you might want to do the same if it's of concern, but the existing models are plenty powerful, and more than enough for most user's needs.
    Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.
    You are most welcome - and please come back and post again if you have any further questions or any problems once you've got your system!

  • OT: .htaccess files on a Mac

    Can anyone tell me what steps you followed to get .htaccess
    files with
    mod-rewrite rules to work on a Mac? I'm using the MAMP
    package, but I
    decided to stick with Apple's default Apache installation,
    since my
    virtual hosts work with it but not with MAMP's Apache
    version.
    One reference directed me to uncomment the following lines in
    httpd.conf...
    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    AddModule mod_rewrite.c
    AccessFilename .htaccess
    ...and change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" in
    both the
    httpd.conf and /private/etc/httpd/users/MyName.conf files.
    I did all of that, with two exceptions. I never exactly found
    the first
    line; the closest thing to it is this, which I left
    uncommented:
    LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/httpd/mod_rewrite.so
    Also, I can't change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride
    All" in
    /private/etc/httpd/users/MyName.conf because it kills my
    virtual hosts.
    Thanks for any tips.

    What is your reason to change these Hidden System files and folder to Non Hidden. IMHO it is a very foolish thing to do. Using ther T Command you were given displays all of them and if for some reason that command doesn't then use this one.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true (Replace true with false to turn off
    killall Finder to implement either)
    So with them displayed changing the hidden attribute may only cause you troubles.

  • Mod Rewrite & .htaccess File on a Mac (Leopard)

    I just copied all my websites over from my PC to my Mac and
    discovered
    that my .htaccess files (originally created in Notepad)
    vanished...or
    have simply become invisible. So what program do most people
    use to
    create .htaccess files on a Mac? Do I need to track down my
    Notepad
    version and delete it, or do they actually disappear on a
    Mac?
    Also, I've read that mod rewrite doesn't work a Mac unless
    you enable
    it. Actually, I assume that isn't true for Leopard, as I
    checked several
    pages on my CMS, and they seemed to be working.
    Still, I'm wondering what other surprises might be in store
    for me. Can
    anyone else who has migrated their websites from a PC to a
    Mac tell me
    what obstacles you ran into?
    I recently upgraded to Leopard and MAMP Pro and just
    installed Adobe
    Creative Suite, Web Premium.
    Thanks.

    Thanks.
