Local documents on your compute: a cookie in Safari

I found a cookie in Safari called "local documents on your computer."
It doesn't include a "dot" org, or com or other suffix.
What is it and can I delete it?

Thank you, sig. I deleted it. Some of the cookies I delete reappear very quickly. I'll keep an eye out for this one and watch for its return.

Syncing documents with your computer

Can you save a document created on your iPhone and save it so it can be read on your computer? Ideally the document could be updated by syncing it to your computer. Is there an application that can do that?
Thanks very much.
All the best,
Tom

According to the webpage, you can't view files using Phoneview, just copy them to your phone:
"Note: Files stored on the iPhone using PhoneView cannot be viewed on the iPhone screen."
You may try the app "Air Sharing" to copy files to your iPhone and view them, but you can't edit or send them from your phone.

Does Pages recover unsaved documents if your computer crashes?

I had some things open in pages (A story, some notes from class) that I hadn't yet saved, and then my computer crashed totally at random. Is there any way to recover them? I know Word has unsaved document recovery....

If you never saved it, No.
Are you still on OSX 10.5.8?
ForeverSave Lite will automatically save for you. OSX 10.7 will also autosave, but still needs to have you save the first time so it knows where to save it.
Word must leave a heck of a lot of randomly named files lying around if you never save.

Is it possible to save a text document from your computer to the Ipod Touch

Is it? I was hoping to get some lyrics onto my Ipod. Normally I would use the internet but I'm having issues with the internet. (That's another story for another day).

You can copy the messages by tapping and holding on a message, which will bring up a copy option. You can also select more which will allow you to select multiple messages, which you can then press the arrow in the bottom right to "forward" them. Instead of forwarding them you could then highlight the text in the box and copy and paste it into a note or email.
You could also "Screen capture" the messages by pressing the home and lock button at the same time to take a picture of the screen.

I want to scan a document into the computer and then download it onto a disc or a thumb drive,

how to scan a document and then download it onto a disc

Hi SCOOTalong,
The IJ Scan Utility that comes with the printer can assist you with scanning a document into your computer. To scan using the IJ Scan Utility, please follow these steps:
1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it.
3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN or PHOTO SCAN option on the left pane of the window, depending on what you would like to scan.
5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
b.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder, but if you already have the USB flash drive plugged into your computer, you can select that drive as the location to save the scanned document.
6. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save the changes. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
7. Click the DOCUMENT or PHOTO button, depending on what you are trying to scan. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Scanned images are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
If you find that you need advanced scanning options such as adjusting resolution, brightness, contrast, saturation, color balance, etc. in addition to the options selected above, please click on the SCANGEAR button on the IJ Scan Utility Main screen, then adjust the items as necessary.
Once the document has been scanned into your computer, you can insert the CD into your computer, then navigate to the area where you saved the scanned document and burn it to the CD. If you did not scan the document directly to the USB flash drive, you can copy and paste the document to the USB flash drive from the save location.
Hope this helps!

There was a problem connecting to the server "my server.local" this file is available on your computer. Access the files and volumes locally.

Hi,
I have a strange problem connecting one of the office laptops (Macbook Pro 10.7) to the disk in the Apple Time Capsule. It's just one laptop that has this problem and the other 3 no problems at all and they all run OS X 10.7 Lion, I can access the Time Capsule disk over WAN on all machines but locally on the problem machine i get this message "There was a problem connecting to the server "myserver.local" this file is available on your computer. Access the files and volumes locally." Now from this message it sounds like the problem laptop thinks the network drive (Time Capsule) is the same as it's self in the way of name or address however they clearly have different IP addresses locally.
Any ideas on this would be apreciated as I can only think a clean install but don't want to do this if not necessary.
Thanks
Jarrah

I think I gave you some bad info in the above, where i enterered the text "myserver.local" & "example.local" this was the host name of the server (Time Capsule) so not local on the computer.
No i didn't try your method, I'll give it a go - I thought the folder option was for local files and not on a server ?

The server is available on your computer. Access the volume and files local

I recently did a clean install on my MacBook (from Leopard to Snow Leopard) and got this error when attempting screen sharing. I provide limited support at my office and do that primarily through screen sharing. One thing I noticed after the install was not only could I not screen share with anyone on the local network, but if anyone tried to connect access my shared folder it would actually open the shared folder of another computer on the network.
Whereas Screen Sharing would simply time out if I attempted to connect to the majority of computers on the network. However, when I tried connecting to the machine whose shared folders would open if someone tried connecting to my computer, I got the "Connection failed. The server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally." error.
After performing a hard reset on our Airport Base Station I am now able to screen share with the other computers on our network EXCEPT for the one that gave me the error in quotes above. Any ideas?

Hi,
I also encountered this error but in a different situation : after having restored my Lion installation from a Time Machine backup, everything was okay except that I couldn't connect to any disk attached to my Airport extreme.
I searched for hours and even restored my backup a second time. The problem is specific to only one client since my Macbook was still able to connect to the AE. I ended up resetting all the settings on the AE and restoring them one by one.
The problem appears when I restore the address range distributed by the AE's DHCP server to the one that was configured before.
Thus the solution seems to change this address range. Must be something related to a network route or cache or anything like this.
I hope it will help anybody who encounters this problem. Luckily it seems there are very few : the number of occurences of this problem in google is very low.

The server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally.

I have actually solved this issue. However, it was not easy to find support for this specific issue. Here's the problem and solution that worked for me.
The Problem
I had an issue with my Macbook Pro and Mac Pro connecting to each other. All of a sudden, I got this message "The server COMPUTERNAME is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally."
The Solution
After a bit of digging, I found this article:
http://www.alexanderwilde.com/2011/04/os-x-lion-connection-error-with-afp-and-wo rkaround/
Steps 1 and 2 of that article seemed to do the trick for me:
Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and do:
sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
Now restart your computer.
From Finder, select an AFP server, or use “Connect To…”. This will cause the AFP Client to create the full preferences file.
Thanks to http://www.alexanderwilde.com for helping me solve this.

" ... available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally"

Uh, help. Powerbook G3 10.4.11, and a Mac Mini Intel, both attached to a Linksys.
192.168.1.2 and .3
Yesterday I had a Drop Box folder on the Powerbook showing up properly on the Mini.
Never have gotten a DropBox folder on the Mini to be found from the Powerbook.
Today after some reboots for other reasons, no connection. I try the "Go" menu that used to work for 192.168.1.3 and get
"The server “192.168.1.3” is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally.
Okay.
Where is it and how do I find it to access it?

Ah, I see it's happened to others:

Server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally

I set up a VPN incoming call from a Windows XP server at home and I have an iMac in the office with Snow Leopard 10.6.5.
I manage to connect to VPN to the Windows XP server at home but everytime I Connect To Server to the IP address, it always comes back with an error: "Server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally".
Um... where is this volumes and files? The Finder does not have it. Going to Terminal and ls the Network directory comes up empty.
Can anyone help? How can I connect to a Windows server via VPN?
Thanks.

Several volumes and folders have been shared and they are accessible within LAN. The problem is that I cannot even connect to the server, even though the connection has been established. Mac OS X always seems to think that it has already been connected and they are readily available but it's not listed under Network.
Looking at other topics, this seems to be a prevalent problem but I don't find any solution for this yet.

Ok, so I just worked out that itunes communicates through your browser so it's a cookie in the browser not PC direct that fixes this. Bit of a convoluted route but for me it was IE>Internet setting>privacy>sites, then allow all activity from apple.com/itunes.
