.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.

.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.

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.

Creating .htaccess file

Hi
I'm trying to get rid of all the rogue characters on my site, which are apparent once published, but not when I publish to a local folder. I understand from previous topics, that I need to set up a .htaccess file, with something like this in it: AddCharset UTF-8 .html, so that browsers read the data correctly with Unicode (UTF-8).
There is no .htaccess file in my folder on the FTP site, so I need to create one. Using Cyberduck, I can create the file fine, but then I need to put the data in the file, that's when I run into problems. Downloading the file, I can edit it in text edit, but then if I try and save a file as .htaccess it becomes invisible and I can't upload it to the server.
Many thanks,

yes I've seen that link and I've checked the ftp settings. They're all as they're supposed to be. (i.e. charter encoding - UTF 8 and Default Transfer Mode - Binery). These are the characters I'm getting:
Final Cut Pro HD. Â
Livetype. Â
Motion. Â
Soundtrack Pro.

I know that if, in Safari, I go View>text encoding>Unicode (UTF-8) that solves it. So I'm trying to get all viewers of the site to be able to see Unicode. I've read the previous posts and they directed me towards the .htaccess file - unfortunately that's the bit I can't crack.
Sorry - not really up on web design - a real novice. Have to say thought iWeb does make it easy to get stuff up quickly!

Including htaccess File

Hello.
Is there an easy way to include a .htaccess file so that only authorized users can have access to a page created with iWeb '08 (on a non-.Mac server)? I know I can do this after the site is uploaded to the server, by manually going into the uploaded site and dropping in the file in the appropriate directory, but I would like to do this automatically.
On another note, is there a way to include a file that starts with a . (i.e., a hidden file) in iWeb '08? Even when I can "see" hidden files in Finder I cannot "see" them via iWeb '08.
Thanks for any thoughts,
Ken

No, you must manually add the .htaccess file to your server space, and there is no way to somehow include such files in iWeb.

Making .ds files invisible on windows server

Is there a way to make the .ds files invisible to windows users on a ms windows server?
Mixed Mac and PC environment - can't get through to PC users that they should not try to open these files!

Sounds like malware or a OS X glitch that keeps placing the hidden OS X files on Windows volumes
Remove the user data, delete the account and re-establish it and the data.
If it's contained in the user account that should clear it, if not, wipe the machine and reinstall OS X from a clone or reinstall by hand.
There is software that will prevent OS X from placing it's hidden files on Windows volumes, however interaction with OS X is wonky afterwards.

Making ".DS_Store" and ".localized" Files Invisible With Cocktail

I got Cocktail and I know that these files shouldn't be deleted
How exactly would I go about making these files invisible with cocktail? All I see is delete or prevent ".ds_store files". And what about these ".localize" files? does it take care of that along with ds store?

Any files that have names that begin with a "." are supposed to be invisible on your Mac.
You might have used Cocktail and gone to the "Interface" button and clicked on the "Show invisible Items" box. If so uncheck the box. You might have to log out and then back in to see a difference.
A .DS_Store file holds the information which controls the way a folder will be opened; i.e., the shape and size of the window, the position of the window on the desktop and whether file, folder or icon view has been selected. If you were to delete the .DS_Store the folder would revert to the system default next time it is opened and a new blank .DS_Store would appear (invisibly).
The only problem with .DS_Store files is that they confuse Windows users because they do show up on network shared drives, and flash drives that are formatted with Fat32.
They actually help the user keep individual folders working in a layout they choose and some people get upset when all their hard work is destroyed by having the system revert the View settings to the system default.
I don't know much about the .localized files. I suspect they are used by the system help files and other settings to know what language and measurements to use in system dialogs and messages. I could be wrong here, but they are still supposed to be invisible on a Mac.

.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!

Where exactly do i upload my htaccess file?

Hi,
I had used the tutorial below to create a htaccess file for playing video on certain mobile devices but I'm not sure where to upload it. Does it just go into the servers root folder? and does it have to have a certain name? Mine is names htaccess.txt

It just goes in the remote site root folder i.e., might be named 'htdocs', 'public' or something like that but where you would upload your index.html file to.
There should be a period before the htaccess i.e., .htaccess but NO ext .txt (However you might want to upload the file first and then amend its name as inserting the period will most likely result in it disappearing from your desktop. It does if your using a Mac anyway, not sure about a PC.

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Moving files from outlook to mac

I'm switching from a PC to Mac. How do I move or export email files from outlook to mac. My email account is IMAP at Gmail.

Hi Ed,
If you're using IMAP there's no "export" necessary as all of the emails are stored on the GMail mail servers and just made available to you locally. Now, if you've opted to create local (offline) folders for archiving purposes that's different.
Regrettably there's no easy to way to move from Outlook into Mail, for free. There's a program you can buy called Outlook2Mac.

For $13 it's a great program. There are some work arounds but it involves using Thunderbird.

Moving files from PC to Mac System

I want to move all my old PC files stored on my NAS to my new MAC system. How do I make those files readable to the MAC? Do I need to reformat the NAS?

llangstom,
I am curious.... have you already tried? or is this more of a theoretical question? I would be surprised if your macintosh was unable to see the files on the NAS. I would be less surprised if you needed some software to open the file. IF the files are word files and Excel files then you should be able to use programs from the iWork suite to open and view the files (or any of the free office suites like LibreOffice).
If you have pther kinds of files it would be helpful to know what they are.
All the best...

How to make a image file from Pre installed Mac osx ? "PLEASE HELP :("?

hey guys ..Thanks u for the time.
So i have this eMac which has crashed and i have got may hands on another eMac.. and it works
... the only problem is.. I can take my eMac to the working eMac to do Target Mode or any thing...
So Help me..
My question is .. Is there a way to make a .DMG image file from pre installed mac osx OR
Is there a way to may a recovery disc??

You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy everything from the working eMac onto the non-working eMac while the working eMac is running. If your eMac will still do target mode into the working one, you can download the above software, select the booted drive as the source drive, and your eMac's drive as the target, however it is possible this will not work.
When you say your eMac crashed, what exactly happened? It is possible that the hard drive in your eMac failed or is failing, so in order to get it running again you would need to replace the hard drive. On the eMac, this repair is somewhat involved, and you have to be very careful because it exposes the CRT, which has several areas which can be extremely dangerous to touch if not properly handled. CRTs retain a great deal of voltage, even when unplugged, sometimes for weeks, and they can give you a nasty shock if you touch them in the wrong place.
Also keep in mind that cloning from the working computer to the non-working computer will ERASE any data that you have stored on that eMac, so if you don't have it backed up anywhere, you may want to attempt that with target mode before proceeding.
Good luck!
