Loading files on Mac

I'm trying to load an image into a flex app. I'm using Mac.
Works if the path is somewhere/myfile.swf, but if I have a full
path like this: /Users/myname/... it gives error. Unfortunally I
need full paths. Any ideas how to solve that?

I think you need to use the NativePath function, but I
haven't done much
AIR. There's a whole forum for AIR development.

"Load files into Photoshop layers" fails to complete CS6

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help with the folling problem with Photoshop & Bridge CS6
When in Bridge, after selecting 6 images (CR2) using the command TOOLS>LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS the first file will load into Photoshop, Photoshop will then generate a second blank layer and then read the second file. At this point the "script" will stop. I am left with a document with 2 layers. The top layer has my first image, the bottom layer is empty.
At this point when I quit Photoshop I am prompted to save this open document which appears to be the only open document. I choose not to save this as a file. I then get a dialogue box prompting to save another open document. Photoshop has loaded the second file to place as a layer but as the "script" has aborted I am left with an open, but invisible file.
When I first loaded CS6 on Snow Leopard, it would demonstrate this behaviour every time I attempted to run this command from Bridge.
I did a clean install on a blank HDD of OSX Lion. Installed CS6. The command worked without fail for about a month.
Then I would get the command aborting occasionally. Restarting Photoshop would let me continue for a few hours before this aborted script problem would happen again.
Over the last week it has become more frequent, to a point where this workflow is unusable.
A restart of Photoshop may fix the problem for the next batch of images, only to fail again soon after, or fail on the first attempt after a relaunch of Photoshop.
A reboot of my computer will allow my to load one or two sets of files before again failing to complete the command.
I have tried the following:
In Photoshop preferences:
disabling the "Use graphics Processor"
Increasing or decreasing the amount of RAM available to Photoshop
Changing the cache levels or changing the cache tile size
changing the scratch disk
Trashing the Photoshop preferences file (Photoshop Settings.psp)
In Bridge
Purging the cache
Increasing or decreasing the cache size
Resetting Bridge preferences (holding Command on launch) and deleting all cache files.
In general system
Quitting extra programs (Safari, Thunderbird, iTunes)
Sometimes this will seem to then allow Photoshop to load a full set of images, only to abort again after a few sets.
Rebooting the computer - again will work for a few images sets before again failing.
Now the fact that it worked fine for several weeks without presenting a problem would indicate that it is not a bug.
The fact that is slowly started happening then became more frequent would indicate something changing slowly over time - a larger cache folder perhaps, although purging known Bridge cache folders has not filed the problem.
Really at the end of my tether here. Even considering downgrading to CS5 - but don't want to have to use the older Adobe Camera Raw.
System is as follows:
Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Quad Core
24GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4870 512
OSX Lion 10.7.4
I have seen a couple of others have posted having a the same problem, both with CS5 and CS6.
Hoping someone has an answer.
Thanks.

Hi JJMack - I just re-read your post. For some reason I thought you were suggesting to make sure "Open documents in Tabs" was selected, it was. Now I realize you were suggesting to turn it off! As another attemp to solve this problem I did de-select it today. Seemed to work for a good while. I was getting very excited, then, on the last set of images I had to do it displayed the same problem. But, it did go for quite a while without failing, and when it did I was thrashing about trying to make another app active. When loading documents like this - with "Open documents in Tabs" de-selected, Photoshop wants to put the loading images as the front-most window, no matter what other apps (Bridge, email, web etc) I click on in the dock. I think it is related to the bug you described effecting the "load files to stack" command.
Hopefully Adobe is looking at this - mind you, I have read reports of people having this problem in CS5! Looks like that was never resolved sadly.
I'll keep testing and post back.
I am looking to upgrade my video card to see if it's a video memory thing.
What is very weird though is the fact that this problem didn't present itself until after several weeks of working with this command with no problem. No additional apps installed, nothing changed. Why would it start happening only after a while?
Thanks again for your suggestion.

No option to Load Files into Layers into Photoshop

In CS6 I don't have a menu option to load files into layers. Did they get rid if it?

No, it still works and is also present in CC. I assume you have used menu Tools / Photoshop / Load in to layers for this?
Is Photoshop present under menu Tools? if not check Bridge preferences Start Up scripts and see if a check mark is set in front of Photoshop
Or reset Bridge preferences by holding down option key (Mac) or control key (Win) while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs.

How do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

how do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

Your external drive is formatted NTFS which OS X can read from but not write to. You can either install third-party software on the Mac to enable writing to the drive or repartition and reformat the drive for exclusive use with the Mac. If you don't need to move files between a Mac and a PC, then I would recommend the latter solution.
Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.2
NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5.3
To repartition:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select the external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Best way to view Text files from Mac on iPhone 4?

What is the Best way to view Text files (loaded) from my Mac onto my iPhone 4?
Will any of the "readers" (e.g. Kindle, Kobo) allow me to put my own text files onto my iPhone and read them easily?
Thanks

I actually purchased GoodReader because it is easy to transfer files without iTunes. I dislike the file sharing through iTunes. You can use a Mac or PC. Once I was in the app I clicked the "Wi-Fi" symbol which brings me to "WiFi-transfer." It will show this --
"WiFi status: ON
Use one of the following addresses exactly as you see them
1. IP-address: http://192.168.0.98:8080 <-- Local LAN address the iPhone is broadcasting on.
2. Bonjour-address http://Myname-iPhone.local:8080"
All you have to do is type one of those addresses into your browser. (Safari, etc.)
It will take you to a page that has iPhone Connection and a list of options. You can either create a new directory within the application or use an existing one to upload a text file. It's rather simple, you just select "Choose a file to upload" > Select your file > Press upload > Start the app and see your text/pdf/whatever file.
You can also connect to a server to download a text file, browse the web, or enter a url. I see it also has an ICloud folder which I'm not sure if it integrates with Apple's iCloud or not, I think it does. I'm not affliated with the app and I'm not saying you have to buy it, I'm just a happy user.
If you don't want to buy this app let me know I'll keep looking for a free or cheaper one for you if you want.

Photoshop elements 9 will load on my mac but won't open the Edit portion

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9
Mac os 10.6.8
E9 loaded on my mac fine the first time (about 1 year ago) but recently it refused to open the edit feature. I was advised that file were missing from the application. I did an uninstall and reloaded the mac disc. It appears to load fine, but will only open the organizer and not the edit feature. I have done 3 uninstalls and installs but I get the same message each time I try to open the edit feature.

The cursor on my tools is a blurr of severl + signs and other nondiscript items
The update won't change that. See:

Converting files to mac recognizable?

hi all,
new user here. a couple of quick questions.
1. is there a user manual document that i can print pages out of? i accessed the help from adobe air but i cannot find a way to print and copy paste results in irrevocably messed up formatting.
2. i moved to mac about four years ago and am in the last throes of organizing my data. is there a way to easily convert .mov, .avi., .cel, or .mp4 files to mac recognizable formats (i know in a couple of cases the file itself must be corrupted and it is not an issue of the file format).
3. can anyone help me understand a good way to /store/ my various files in a database? right now i have some in aperture but since i have pdf and mov and mp4 and all manner of slideshows/videos this is a bit perplexing and hard to manage.
thanks in advance and apologies if these questions are in the wrong place or too "newbie".

hi todd.
i think you are focusing on semantics to a point that is unhelpful to me as a new user. i can't tell if this is just an inability to see the real intent of the question (which seems obvious to me but i am a new user so it may not be) or if it is deliberate. If you snip portions of my questions and pull them out of the context of the OP it is going to be difficult for me to arrive at a good solution (which is why i am posting).
i deal with /very/ complicated files all the time and it is obvious that one uses software in most cases to view and/or use the files. currently i run two Mac OS's, two native Windows OS's and four virtual machines. it is obvious that it is not the OS that is opening the files. however, tools such as Quick Look (Mac OS) are very helpful for seeing files without opening them (and this is only available on Mac OS), then there are software tools such as Aperture (which is Mac Only as far as I know) and various Adobe products (which function slightly different on different OS's but again as far as i know).
the question i am posting is WHAT software do folks use to view their files on Mac OS, WHAT software to they use to convert their files to "mac friendly" formats (and if this works well) and WHAT format do they convert files to (or if they deliberately do not convert due to loss of some kind of data or performance issues) and IF they are using AME to do the conversion.
this seems like a pretty straightforward question and other than suggest i read read the user manual (i'm waiting for a "RTFM"...) or to post elsewhere i am having a hard time finding any good information in your responses. maybe i am not asking questions directly enough or you are a pro level user and you are having trouble understanding newbie questions, i am not sure.
what i am trying to do is to avoid reading up on Codex and having all manner of conversion software on my Mac or five different software programs loaded onto my computer to read all the various file types. the reason i have to do this is because AVI (for instance) is a PC based format that only works well on PC AFAIK. i would also very much like to avoid using FInder to store all this data so that it is organized in a way i can be productive. all of this should be pretty hard to misinterpret. i mean, it is no secret that reading video files created on a PC is a bit of a mess on the Mac is it?
when you turn around my post and instead ask four questions of your own - starting with the directive that i first answer "1. what application am i using to view video files?" i think you are missing the point of the question. i am /storing/ mov and m4v videos in Aperture because this is the program that CREATED them and i am using whatever program opens (or tries to open the files when i click on one of the seven file formats). i am doing this because these file formats came over from a PC and because they are just sitting in finder in folders named according to the FILE TYPE. the folders are named according to file type because they are not organized anywhere and i can't get a streamlined workflow to open them and store them.
THIS is why i asked you if you could give me a quick explanation of what to do when i try to open a file and it - for instance - opens in AME. i am in the AME forum and as a new user i simply get a LIST OF FILES in this software which i never used before and i just want to get them out - or converted - so i can move forward with other tasks. i am not even sure this software is going to be useful to me other than converting one file format to another. pointing me to a 100+ page manual when i don't even know the term that the software uses to do this task or what task i am trying to accomplish (or even why the file was opened in this software!!) seems a tad passive-aggressive for my taste and it certainly does not help me get off the blocks with moving forward with Adobe Suite Products...
i don't want to sound ungrateful for an honest attempt at helping a new user but can you directly answer one of the questions and not try and rephrase what you think i should be asking? alternatively, if you are genuinely confused by the question (again i am a new user) can you ask me to clarify instead of telling me what you think i should be asking...? i ALWAYS find this works better when i am the OP.

REFInd with MacBook Pro, Retina: invalid loader file!

I'm trying to dual boot Arch and OSX on a MacBook Pro, Retina, 15". I've been following the Direct EFI booting (rEFInd) guide, but I've also read through a lot of the related docs. Because many instructions on the web seem outdated based on recent improvements in rEFInd, I will post what I have done so far since this info may be relevant.
1. I resized my harddrive. I installed arch on an ext4 formatted partition (/dev/sda4 with 128M gap before, ie.., sector "+128M" in cgdisk).
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 233.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 200M 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 116G 0 part
├─sda3 8:3 0 619.9M 0 part
├─sda4 8:4 0 17G 0 part
└─sda5 8:5 0 99.9G 0 part
2. Running OSX, I installed refind (refind-bin-0.8.0) using the --nodrivers option.
sudo ./install.sh --nodrivers
Installation appeared to be successful.
3. I updated the refind.conf file. The "scan_all_linux_kernels" is uncommented by default, and I uncommented the also_scan_dirs line so that these two lines appear as shown, with everything else default:
scan_all_linux_kernels
also_scan_dirs boot,ESP2:EFI/linux/kernels
Result: rEFInd loads on boot, but no option for Arch appears (only the Mac option).
4. I decide to try a manual menuentry, so I set the scanfor line like this:
scanfor internal,external,manual
Then, I write in an entry for Arch Linux (and comment all other menu entries):
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
icon EFI/refind/icons/os_arch.icns
volume 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4
ostype Linux
loader /boot/vmlinuz-linux
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
options "rw root=/dev/sda4 rootfstype=ext4 libata.force=noncq"
I verified that vmlinuz-linux and initramfs-linux.img exist and are in the /boot directory in my main arch partition (/dev/sda4).
Result: I get an Arch menu entry, but when I click on it I get this error message:
Starting vmlinuz-linux
Using load options 'rw root=/dev/sda4 rootfstype=ext4 libata.force=noncq initrd=\boot\initramfs-linux.img'
Invalid loader file!
Error: Not Found while loading vmlinux-linux
I also tried these lines for volume, each in turn:
volume 4:
volume linuxmain
("linuxmain" is the partition label I gave the partition with cgdisk)
For completeness, `diskutil list` on the Mac gives me:
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *251.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 124.6 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 18.3 GB disk0s4
5: 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 107.2 GB disk0s5
Note that I've tried the above procedure both with the stock refind (refind-bin-0.8.0.zip) and the arch specific refind (refind-bin-gnuefi-0.8.0.zip). In all cases I made sure all the refind files were removed before re-installing. I've already spent a lot of time on this, and I'd really like to get Arch booting, so any help is greatly appreciated!

I had this problem myself which got me going round in circles for ages. The Arch Official rEFInd package contains v.0.7.9 (and is flagged out of date). Apparently there is an Arch specific problem with v.0.7.9 and the most recent (until today) v.0.8.0. The only way I could get it to work was to use the v.0.7.8 gnuefi binary from sourceforge. I've been in touch with the developer who has released v.0.8.1 today which he thinks fixed the bug, but I've yet to test it.... Let us know how you get on.
When the package gets updated I would hope for it to be built from gnuefi, not the tianocore EDK2010 as it is currently, nor even 2014 which all seems unduly burdonesome....

Opening a .pxp file on Mac

Hi, is there a way to open .pxp files in Mac without using Boot Camp? I don't have enough room on my computer to do the Boot Camp download. The .pxp file type is for presentations showing webpage capabilities without actually going on to the website. Much faster to show demo without having to wait for things to load. I had the file on my old Dell, then when i switched to Macbook Air, couldn't open the file anymore to do my presentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The Mac operating system has, over the years, acquired capabilities to "read" or view a wide variety of commonly used file types. However, that is farmless than the majority of file types used by every known peice of software that creates unique files.
Where Preview, or any of the other mechanisms for rwding media files will not work, you simply must use the software that created the file, or a compatible reader software.
The PXP file type suffix is used by a number of software apps, none of which is part of the capbilities of the included Mac OS readers to open. In this case, you would need to install a suitable application known to the developer of the software used to create this file, which you apparently had installed on your previous system.

Help when i boot into the windows 7 instal disk it freezes at windows loading files

Help when i boot into the windows 7 instal disk it freezes at windows loading files.

1. Have you tried both Alt keys - maybe your Alt key is dead.
2. Do you have wireless keyboard? Have you tried to change batteries? USB Keyboard?
3. If your Win is installed correctly then you have also installed all windows support software.
There should be Startup manager like on the Mac (next to the clock little bootcamp app or in control pannel) to restart your Mac into the Mac partition.

Quicken - unable to load file - what to do?

I recently upgraded my operating system from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) on my 2009 MacBook. I then upgraded my quicken to 2007 for lion, loaded up my quicken file and it worked fine. Then I turned off my computer.
Well, when I came back to it, the file wouldn't open with the error message "unable to load file." I started freaking out as I have many yrs and the entire tax year on quicken. I found the link below, but show contents did not appear at step 5 so I was to call quicken.
http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/backup--restore--file-issues/message-when -opening-quicken-for-mac--unable-to-open-file/GEN83256.html
I paid for and called intuit support, and after about an hour, the person said that my file must be corrupt (though it was just working this morning and on previous version). He kept having me do the above link with many different data files.
Anyway, after he hung up, I did get a version from a month ago to load up and re-entered data to catch up, closing quicken and backing up onto my external drive, etc. over and over again. I thought I was good to go but...
I turned off my computer to see if it would okay and after rebooting, again came the "unable to load file" error message. What can I do? I really need my quicken to work? Should I call India again and go through the same scripts with quicken? Please help!

I use Quicken 2007 and in my documents folder there is a Quicken Backup Folder that appears to update every time I quit Quicken. In the Files menu there are backup, restore, and save a copy commands. Maybe if you save a copy manually, it will not be corrupt. If that is the case, then try reloading the Quicken program. It is possible you got a corrupt download.
If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. It appears you may be doing that since you found the link you posted.

How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard. I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac. I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
Have you got any more tips?
