Labeling Files Correctly NEW USER

Do I need to use the underscore mark to connect words in file
labels in DW? For example can I call a file "Apples Bananas.html"
or does it need to be "apples_bananas.html"? If so why? Does that
apply to folders too? Is this needed for general file and folder
naming outside of DW? And finally is the lower case important?
Thanks!

naff? :-)

  • Can't open GB files in new user account

    I created a new user account just to use GarageBand as I've seen recommended here. I gave the new acct. permission to use the GB app.
    I copied the GB folder with all the project files from my Home>Music folder to the new account's Public folder (Finder won't allow me to copy it to the Drop Box in the Public folder). I had to enter my admin password to do this and it took a few minutes to copy all the files.
    Then I log out and open the new account and I move the GB folder from the Public folder to the Home>Music folder. But the projects won't open. I can see the red minus sign next to each file and the error message that comes up says the format is not correct.
    What have I done wrong?

    i used two machines, one for recording (a wee 800Mc iBook with 640MB and a FW drive), and another for mixing and Mastering (a 2.1Gc iMac, at the time).
    the iBook could handle around 12-14 recorded tracks, and when it came to the heavy lifting (mixing/Mastering), the iMac handled a couple of projects that grew to around 54-55 tracks without any problem, so I never found myself in a position where i needed to do anything special to get what i needed to do done.
    the only special thing i did was always log-out/in to the iBook before a recording session so that i was working from a clean slate.

  • Opening appleworks label file in new imac,

    My christmas card labels were created in appleworks labels, now there is no way to open the cwk label file in my new imac. I don't have access to my appleworks in my old computer, can someone help!!!

    Hi hcz,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Appleworks forum.
    Your labels will be in an AppleWorks 6 database file, a file format that can be opened only by AppleWorks 6. There are a couple of routes open to you:
    1.
    Get a new AppleWorks 6 installation disk and install the application from that.
    Cautions: The installer on the disk must be the OS X version. Early versions of AppleWorks 6 contained both the Classic and OS X versions of AppleWorks, but the installer ran only in OS 9 and earlier. Hardcore Mac had installation disks for AppleWorks 6.2.4, with a Mac OS X installer application when I last checked.
    2.
    Find someone who has AppleWorks 6 installed, and get the labels printed (to labels or to a pdf file, from which you can print) and/or get the file converted to a format which you can open with your current spreadsheet program. Suggested formats would be tab delimited text (.txt) or MS Excel (.xls). The text file can be opened into any text editor, then copied and pasted into pretty much any spreadsheet. Most spreadsheets will also open an Excel formatted file.
    If you wish, you may send the file to me. I'll return a pdf, a text file and an excel formatted file, and trash the original. If you choose to do this, you'll find my address by clicking my name (in blue0 to the left of this message. Please place "AppleWorks Labels" in the subject line of your message.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Restoring keychain & other user files to new user

    My HD died & Apple is replacing it. I have recent backups of my Keychain & other user settings on my iDisk that I want to restore when I get my Mac back (5 days to put in a new HD!)
    The new user & password that Apple is setting up on the new HD is going to be different than on my defunct drive, so I'm wondering if I'm going to run into problems restoring my backups to a new user name.
    Are there specific steps I need to take to have the old files usable by the new user?
    thanks

    The new user & password that Apple is setting up on the new HD is going to be different than on my defunct drive, so I'm wondering if I'm going to run into problems restoring my backups to a new user name.
    Create another new account, same as your old account, why not?
    Nothing preventing or stopping you.
    Most defunct drives can be reformatted with zero-all option and might still work, unless it really was a hard crash (rare) and the head "dived" into the platter or something.

  • Migrating User files to new User ID on New Mac?

    I bought a new iMac for my work to replace a PC.
    I am planning to try Migration Assistant on initial Start Up of a new iMac, and would like to migrate mainly all Mailboxes & folders, Calendar, Contacts.  I had planned to do this from the office PC but that has never worked apparently due to all the endless safety restrictions in the Windows PC.
    While I don't have everything on my home Mac, I do have the last year's work mail accounts, the calendar and contacts, which I set up manually.
    I know that on initial start up, the new Mac will ask if I'd like to migrate files from another Mac.  I would like to name the new computer a totally different name than my home mac (like "OfficeMac")
    My question is:  If I migrate on initial set up from my current user on my home mac (my name) to a new user name (office), will I still be able to move all the mail, folders, etc and access & use them or is the system going to think permissions for these are only for the old user (my name) from the mac it migrated from???
    Many thanks

    Okay - in case this helps anyone else.  This totally worked.  On initial set-up it migrated everything, however it does not ask you to create a new User Name, but it migrated all my stuff including the accounts.
    I did not want my account name used, just the same mail, calendar, etc.  So....
    While there seems to be a lot of postings saying you cannot change the name of your User Account, I don't know why, because you can indeed.
    You have 2 choices:
    You must be logged in as an Admin on another Login (I already had 2)
    Choice 1
    You go to System Preferences>Users
    Unlock the lock,
    Highlight the User you want to change
    In the area called "Full Name" just change the name!
    This however will not change the name of the home folder which is also what I wanted.  That is a little more involved but this absolutely worked:
    Choice 2

    I am running Mountain Lion on a new iMac (Oct 2013) - I have no idea if this works on anything older.
    Good luck and thanks!

  • Move Files To New User Account.

    Hello,
       I set up a new account with admin access and noticed that I didn't have access to all data like movies, documents as well as app registrations! I would like to move my files to the new acc and delete the old one. Should I move the support files and delete the old acc, or should I start over?

    As an admin user, you can change the permissions on the folders. Use "Get Info" on the folders and at the bottom add yourself as a new user. You'll need to click on the padlock to unlock it. And, after you add yourself, click on the little star dialog box and select, "Apply to all enclosed items..."
    What was wrong with the old user account? Why did you add a new one?

  • Copy files to new user account

    Hi,
    When I first installed OS Mavericks, my macbook got super slow. Mail and actualy everything with a connection to iCloud froze my computer. After some searching I found that creating a new account was the sollution. Since I have created a new user account everything goes ok again. I just can't get my files from my old account to my new one. Every time there comes a forbinen sign on the folder.
    I tried to copy them via my Root user, and via the shared folder in the User folder, but nothing helps.. It's probbebly very easy, but i can't find it.
    Any help?
    Regards,
    Maarten

    Have you tried using the shared folder under Users on the main hard drive where Applications, Library, and Systems are?

  • Migration tool moves files to new user

    Hi
    I have a new imac and the migration tools works fine. i have migrated "my music" and now i am trying to migrate "my photos" but the tool wants to create a new user and my photos end up being associated with this new user rather than my account, i.e. i can't seem to move them between users. any thoughts on how i migrate the photos across to my user account or how i move them from a new user to my account?
    Cheers

    You move them manually, either from the old computer or by dragging the other account's home folder to the desktop and authenticating yourself.

  • Migrated files and New User Account

    Hello,
    New Mac user here.  I successfully migrated all the content from my old PC onto my Mac Mini and it was put into a new user account.  I'd like to transfer this content into the Admin account and delete the added user.  What's the best way to go about doing this?  Thanks so much!

    Use Quicktime Player version 7 instead of Quicktime 10.
    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".

  • HT6012 "no importable files" msg after moving library to new user

    I had to create a new user profile, old one was corrupted. I moved all iMovie files to new user profile's folders. Although I can see all my projects when I iMovie Library package contents, I cannot get them imported into iMovie. I get "no importable files" msg.
    I have:  iMac w/OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), iMovie 10.0.5

    If you're going to move the file to the new location (e.g. shared account called photo), you need to change the permissions on the file. It's not just a simple question of where the file is located -- but also who has read/write rights to the file (which is a folder).
    So if you have it in the /Users/Photo directory, you should do this:
    sudo chown -R photo:photo "Aperture Library.aplibrary"
    You'll need to enter the password of an admin user to do this.
    Assuming your Aperture library is called that (you need to do this from terminal and see what it's called). You could perhaps also do that from finder as well, but the recursive permissions thing, I'm just not as sure what it will let you do.

  • How do I create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user

    This is why I think I need to.
    My computer got hit by lightening, and I may have created a new user account through netinfo rather than system preferences /accounts/+user. Mail used to open twice, but no longer. Now, Safari askes me for my keychain password twice, Spotlight can't find a folder on the computer when the search is restricted to folder and computer, though the folder is there and easyfind finds it, and when System Preferences/Spotlight/Privacy has the hard drive icon added, then deleted, Spotlight still does not find anything. (Yes, everything is backed up, on CD, DVD, and online.) Microsoft Tec Support says
    "Here is a summary of the key points of the case for your records.
    When you contacted us on August 8, you had requested assistance with Microsoft Office 2004, as your installation of the updates was unable to find the correct version of the software to update. After creating a New MAC User, we identified the issue to be with a corrupt MAC User account, and not a Microsoft issue. "
    I believe Microsoft. So, creating a new user was easy.
    But copying files uses up too much hard drive (movies, music), and may miss keychains, preferences, mail, address book, and documents. Since Spotlight no longer works, who knows what is happening. (Yes, I've repaired persmissions, and disk repair. No change). I'm using up my hard drive trying to move files to the new user. If I share files, or put them into a public folder, then delete the old user, will I still have the old user's files in the new user's account? It is not clear to me what I should be trying to do in order to create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user. Thanks.
    My responses will be slow, because I have to drive to town to use the internet. I've ordered a new airport which may take care of that problem. SO be patient.

    Hey -
    I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
    My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
    He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance!

  • Creating a new user account and transferring files from old account

    I am now having more problems than I can handle with my Leopard installation...problems such as applications that refuse quit no matter what ~ even after attempting force quit them and/or attempting to "sudo kill -9 PID", and now that I am having problems with Adobe Lightroom not even being able to remain open on my user account for more than 10 seconds max before it crashes without provocation (yet runs fine on a troubleshooting account I created on the same machine), I would now like to create a new user account on my MacPro Leopard 10.5.6 and transfer my files from the previous (problematic) user account, but I've never done so in the past...
    Can someone give me a basic rundown of how to go about doing this as a means of troubleshooting my current sickly user account (and if you could also please let me know which files I should avoid restoring to the newly created user account so that I don't screw that one up as well, I would appreciate it)
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

    While logged into the troubleshooting account (assuming that it's an admin account—if not create a new one and log into it), backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

  • How to Define Workbook / Business Ares Security Correctly for new Users

    Hi All,
    Please could you help me understand the Security Model for Workbooks and business Areas as I believe I am very close to understanding it, but missing something important.
    Background Information:
    We are using the predefined Oracle Business Areas (Payables, Receivables, Purchasing & General Ledger) to build our reports on. These are the steps I am taking to try and assign a new user & responsibility access to the existing report.
    1. I create the Report in Discoverer Desktop under the ‘General Ledger Responsibility’ logged in as myself – assume report name = ‘Report_1’.
    2. I create a new Responsibility in Oracle Apps called ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’.
    3. I create a new User in Oracle Apps called ‘Joe Bloggs’ and assign the responsibility ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’ to the Joe.
    4. Logged in as myself in Discoverer Desktop, Responsibility ‘General Ledger’ I Share the Report (Report_1) to the new Responsibility I just created ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’.
    5. In Discoverer Administration, Security, I assign the new Responsibility ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’ to the predefined Oracle Business Areas (Payables, Receivables, Purchasing & General Ledger).
    6. In Discoverer Administration I set privileges so that the Responsibility ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’ can do all tasks, query data, administer. .etc. etc..
    7. I therefore believe everything has been done and attempt to Login and run the report under Joe Bloggs, but am unable to retrieve any data.
    Help… what am I missing!
    Thanks,
    Lance

    Dear All,
    This has now been adjusted according to your recommendations but to no avail.
    Myself and Lance have ensured that this new responsibility has unlimited access to all the existing Business areas to eliminate joins within folders not being recognised, we have also ensured that the workbooks that have been created are shared with the correct responsibility.
    I have thoroughly tested this set up by logging in as this new responsibility within Disco. Client to try and retrieve data in a new Workbook, but even for the simplest of queries this fails.
    It seems that there may be a problem with the Responsibility linking to the EUL, could this be due to the new responsibility being created after the Current EUL was set up?
    Does anyone have any information or knowledge where this could happen?
    Regards
    Si
