I need to find and upload a hidden file for an app service issue

I need to locate a hidden file, filename.plist which is on a networked drive, and upload it to the company;s wed=biste for the to support the app. Obviously 'filename' is just a word. there is a long and complex filename.
Finder spins its wheels uselessly when I ask it to search. The action gear thingy has no useful options to see hidden files that I can see. And the upload part of the website, while it lets me enter the filename in the search box, just spins uselessly, too.
The file is held on a networked freestanding drive. That isn't of itself, any real problem. I just need to find it and upload it so I can get support. I don;t mind using some utility to grab a copy of it somehow, and uploading that! BUT I am not hugely technical, so I need to be spoon fed.

You can use Terminal to find the file you are looking for.
Let's say your network drive is named Net_Drive
find /Volumes/Net_Drive -name filename.plist
if you know the exact file name or
find /Volumes/Net_Drive -name *.plist
to search for all file names ending with .plist

    I restored the phone so had no apps on it at all and there was still this certain amount of space used up by documents ! I've already had it in to the apple store and they didn't seem to have a clue either ! Ugh ! Wouldn't mind so much if the phone was free with a contract but I actually spent 450 quid buying this phone and it's always full of "nothing" so virtually unusable

  • Diappearing photos replaced by an exclamation point within a triangle.  Prior to loading Lion I could put the image number in finder and locate the original file for that photo.  How do I restore photos now?

    I had problems with photos disappearing and being replaced by an exclamation point within a triangle.  I can see the photo in the thumbnail summary but when you click on it, the screen goes black and the exclamation point within a triangle appears along with the info on the original image number (i.e., img_1120.jpg). Prior to loading Lion, I could go to Finder, enter the image number and locate the original file for that photo.  I could then restore it for editing, copying into Print Shop directly, etc.   That no longer works after installing Lion.   How do I restore photos now?  I have 100s of photos that I have been going back to the original files and restoring and I am frantic that I will no longer be able to get to the original files.  Please help!  Thanks

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How do I find and free the hidden files on external drive?

    I cannot see , or free, space on my external drive.
    It is a Seagate Freeagent 500 GB disk. I am using 100GB for photos and music. Only 38 MB are reported free. How can I reclaim the rest of the space?
    I had used in the past as Time machine backup. To create space I moved to trash the file Backups.backupd (as I now have another disk for Time Machine). I can't see this file in the Trash, and I can't see the space in Finder. How do I find / free the space?
    The disk format is MAC OS Extended journaled. Disk utility reports no errors. I have run verify and fix, and also erase free space, with no result.
    Thank you for your help.

    Erase free space only wipes clean the 38 MBs that are already free. Click here to see hidden files.
    However, I'd just make a copy of the 100 GBs in use, and then complely wipe the disk.
    Don't try to delete the Backups.backupd folder by Finder. It's not a good idea to mix Finder and TM.

  • Upload user chosen file for the app to access directly

    hello all,
    i'd like my app to upload a user chosen file from user's hard
    drive but i want the flash app to have direct access to the
    uploaded bitmap rather than saving the file to the server via php.
    i've seen examples to send the FileReference object to a
    serverside script for uploading to the server but i just want the
    flash app to use the bitmap w/o needing to save the file.
    is the file data only uploaded by php or during the
    FileReference.upload()? how to get access to the bitmap data?
    help!
    TIA,
    michael

    thx kglad. as far as you know, is that the only way? i was
    hoping that FileReference was able to gain access to the bitmap to
    pass it to the flash app directly.

  • Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

    Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
    I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in  background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
    That's one problem.
    The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
    And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
    Can anyone help ? Thanks.

    Thanks for replying,
    How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
    The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
    In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
    Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
    Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
    I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    Answering the questions :
    - Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
    - Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
    - In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
    With publishing :
    - Please try to rename the image file and then relink
    - If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
    - Try again to publish
    With e-mail from BC :
    - Under preferences , please check the country selected.
    - If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Find and replace string in file

    hi,
    i need to find and replace text (string) data in about 100+ files, i've decided to write a small java program to do it but i'm stuck on how to replace.
    here is what i'm heading towards:
    class ReplaceString {
      BufferedReader in;
      BufferedReader os;
      public static void main(String args[]) {
        ReplaceString obj = new ReplaceString();
        obj.replace();
       void replace() {
         try {
           in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("a.txt");
           os = new BufferdWriter(new FileWriter("a.txt");
           //  read until end of file
           String currentLine = new String();
           while((currenLine=is.readLine()) != null) {
             //  if matching text then replace????
             if(currentLine.equals("Version 001") {
                // how to now replace the Version 001 with Version 002???
         }catch(IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
            in.close();
            os.close();
         in.close();
         os.close();
    }the above code i just typed so there might be errors, but looks ok to me, is there any way once i find the string i want to replace, to replace the string with another string. basically i want to replace all occurrences of the text "Version 001" with "Version 002"
    Thank you.

    Is it always true, as in your example, that the replacement is the same length as the existing string? If so, this one's easy.
    Is it also true that you don't need to worry about 16-bit chars? (Again, as in your example.) If you're using just ASCII characters, this gets easier still.
    1) Segregate the file I/O from the search/replace process.
    2) Main becomes:
    readFile();
    replace( "this", "that" );
    writeFile();Use a byte array buffer, defined in your main class. Fill it via the readFile() code. Use a RandomAccessFile, check its length() to allocate your byte array, then do a single read() to fill the buffer.
    A brute force search will certainly work: scan for the first search character, then check the rest for a match, replace if you've got a match and continue scanning. Alternative if your file's aren't too big: create a String from the byte array:
    // buffer is a byte array
    String s = new String( buffer );And use the String.replaceAll() to do the search/replace. Recover the buffer with:
    buffer = string.getBytes();A single write() and close() should handle the remaining work.

  • How do I find and older version of instagram for iOS 6.1.6

    How do I find and older version of instagram for 4th generation touch iOS 6.1.6?

    In iTunes on your computer, download the App you want a compatible version for using the same Apple Id that the iPod has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your iPod, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it.
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support

    When you scroll to the bottom of the list of files in Finder, the left to right scrollbar doesn't let you click the last file and it covers the file for a while until it disappears. Is this a bug? How do I not make that happen?

    An odd workaround: click "Always" in System Preferences/General/Show scroll bars. The scroll bars will always show, but they won't cover your last file.

  • HELP!! How can I find and delete duplicate mp3 files.

    I have a zillion copies of songs and I want to find and delete duplicate mp3 files. I have used MediaRage to find the duplicate files (16 thousand or so) but it can't delete them. It will take a million yrs to delete them manually. Does anyone know a way to do this quickly or a program that will do this for me. I have a 15 in Powerbook with OS 10.5.3
    Thanks so much if you can help.

    This site: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ has hundreds of scripts (small programs that do stuff) for iTunes.
    Bound to be something there for you.

  • Duplicates.  I use iTunes match.  When I run exact duplicates, I get duplicates that say uploaded for one and uploaded with a cloud for the other.  Which one do I delete?

    Duplicates.  I use iTunes match.  Two questions:
    When I run exact duplicates on the library on my Mac Air, I get duplicates that say uploaded for one and uploaded with a cloud for the other.  Which one do I delete?
    Some of the duplicates say matched and matched with a cloud.  Same question - which one should I delete?

    I'm not sure I understand the question.
    First I would update your iTunes match.  iTunes match will tell you what is duplicates and then you can just delete them from the library. 
    Second, the course in a situation like this is to delete ONE duplicate and see what happens.  Make sure you have that song backed up somewhere just incase it deletes it completely.  But usually I'd delete one and then see if it deletes both or just the one you pressed. 
    Thirdly, update iTunes match.  It usually does a good job of locating actual duplicates.

    Hello,
    Is it possible to download and upload a perticular IDOC for one to other system. I was just wondering if this is possible. Please revert if any body has tried this.
    Thanks.

    Yes, it is possible and the main purpose of IDocs is actually the information exchange between the systems. You might want to read some theory on this first and user Search if you have questions about particular IDoc types:
