Managing files and folders with Pegasus R6

Sorry if this seems like a really newbie question, but it has me stumped. Oh, and hello everyone! This is my first post on here.
I just purchased a new 27" iMac and the new Pegasus R6 (12TB) drive. So now I am getting prepared to offload my old iMac with all the pictures and videos that have caused it to nearly grind to a Windows speed.
My software is Aperture 2, Adobe CS4 and Final Cut Studio express.
On to my question... Once I had all the software installed, and the Pegasus drive was done setting up (overnight), I dragged the Aperture 2 library over to the Pegasus drive. It surprised me to see that the orginal library stayed on my iMac and a duplicate was now on the Pegasus drive. I thought that maybe it was just a nuance in the way Aperture is. So, I took a couple of photos that were just sitting in the iMac under a newly created folder and dragged and dropped those into the Pegasus drive. Viola', those copied as well. Now I have a copy on the iMac and the Pegasus. I cannot figure out why the items are not moving, but duplicating.
Any thoughts?

Replace all references to files and folders with lowercase in web documents on a site

Hi I'm working on a test server that runs Ubuntu Unix (but my PC which has Dreamweaver CC is running Windows 8.1). I would like to search and replace in Dreamweaver to change all src and href attribute values inside files (webpages, css, etc.) on my site to lowercase, but with the folder and file names' spelling otherwise unchanged. I already changed the names of the actual files and folders, but wanted to make all references in my files point to them again. I started to use regular expressions in the specific tag search, but I was not sure how to specify letter case conversion on a backtracked value. Some flavors of RegEx allow you to replace a searched value in parentheses with its lowercase counterpart by specifying something like this: \L\1
Where \L converts the character captured in the reference \1 to lowercase. Thanks.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your response. Yes, I tried. But I’m not sure you can use any RegEx special characters in the replacement text. I put in \L0 and it just replaced the match with the literal string, so href=”Support/Index.HTML” became href=”\L0”
What I want is href=”support/index.html”
The reason I didn’t use Dreamweaver to change the actual file and folder names is I have images widely dispersed in subfolders. I didn’t think Dreamweaver would automate that part—I think you can only select a file individually to rename it, and then DW will correct all references to it. But probably can’t rename everything with one command from the root. Well, this is turning out harder than I thought.
Let me know if you have any other ideas.
Thanks,
Dave.

How to delete all files and folders (with files) in IsolatedStorage.

Hi awesome programmer:-) The code I have to clean up the local folder doesn't work properly so I won't even bother posting it here. I basically want to have a "master reset" option to remove all new created files and folder in the local folder.
Can you give me simple code to remove all files/folder so the app goes back to the state it was when the user installed it for the first time? Thanks in advance. ps I were able to delete a directory(-ies) with this method:
private async void DeleteDirectory(string directoryName)
try
var folder = await Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFolderAsync(directoryName);
if (folder != null)
await folder.DeleteAsync();
this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate()
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Folder < " + directoryName + " > deleted.";
catch (Exception ex)
this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate()
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Delete Directory << " + directoryName + " >> Error: " + ex.GetBaseException().Message.ToString();
It seems to work, I have not tested with all conditions though. Anyway let me put up the code so you can see I have been trying: This is to delete everything but not all files are deleted:
private void WipeAllData(bool bln)
try
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Removing files...";
if (bln)
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Removing folders...";
//Delete videos directory
DeleteDirectory("videos");
//Delete pictures directory
DeleteDirectory("pictures");
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Folders removed.";
//Delete the rest of the files
var iso = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
foreach (string name in iso.GetFileNames())
iso.DeleteFile(name);
BtnWipeAllData.Content = "Wipe All Data";
VideoCameraPowerValue = "on";
BtnVideoCameraPower.Content = "Video Camera: ON";
PhotoCameraPowerValue = "on";
BtnPhotoCameraPower.Content = "Photo Camera: ON";
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Files removed successfully.";
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show("Wipe All Data Error:\n" + ex.Message.ToString());
Why isn't all files being deleted?

Hi Clint William Theron,
Based on your descriptions, I know that when you run the above code, it does not delete all the files, then have you checked that which kinds of files or in which folder the files can not been deleted?
Besides, if you want to let the app go back to the state it was when the user installed it for the first time, then an easy way is to uninstall and reinstall it.

Using Applescript and Automator to manage files and folders

Hi all.
I need to make a simple action via applescript and-or automator to take the file it's been applied to (via the services) create a folder around it with the same name as the file.
So far, I've searched the web, found some solutions but none are really working.
Here's the script I found :
set myFolder to findFolder()
tell application "Finder" to set myFiles to files of myFolder as alias list
repeat with aFile in myFiles
set bName to my baseName(aFile)
tell application "Finder"
set folderExists to exists folder bName of myFolder
if not folderExists then make new folder at myFolder with properties {name:bName}
move aFile to folder bName of myFolder
end tell
end repeat
---------------- HANDLERS ----------------
on baseName(myFile)
tell application "System Events" to set {fileName, fileExt} to {name, name extension} of myFile
return text 1 thru ((get offset of "." & fileExt in fileName) - 1) of fileName
end baseName
on findFolder()
activate application "SystemUIServer"
-- Bug pointed out by Lauri Ranta http://www.openradar.me/9406282
tell application "Finder"
activate
set mySelection to (get selection)
if mySelection ≠ {} then
set mySelection to first item of (get selection)
if mySelection's class = folder then
set currentFolder to mySelection
else if mySelection's class = document file then
set currentFolder to parent of mySelection
else if mySelection's class = alias file then
set currentFolder to original item of mySelection
end if
else
set currentFolder to target of front Finder window
end if
end tell
return (currentFolder as alias)
end findFolder
And here's a page where they explain how to use automator and the Services to do what I <allmost> want, with some adaptation.
But it still doesn't work.
http://hbase.net/2011/08/17/move-selected-files-into-a-new-folder-using-applescr ipt-and-automator/
So if anybody has an idea n how I could do this ?
It It could either be a folder action (I drag and drop the files into a folder and boom, they get their folder around them)that I would set on a folder on a network drive, or locally, it doesn't matter, or a service (right clic on the file and boom folder around it.
So if anyone could help with this I'd be grateful...

Hi,
Make an Automator Service (Service receives selected "Files or Folders" in the "Finder.app").
Use this script in the "Run AppleScript" action:
on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
        repeat with aFile in input
            if class of (item aFile) is not folder then
                set {tName, fileExt} to {name, name extension} of aFile
                if fileExt is not missing value and fileExt is not "" then
                    set tName to text 1 thru -((count fileExt) + 2) of tName
                    tell (get container of aFile)
                        if not (exists folder tName) then make new folder at it with properties {name:tName}
                        move aFile to folder tName
                    end tell
                end if
            end if
        end repeat
    end tell
end run
This script work on files with a name extension.

Managing Files and Folders in Lightroom - Mac

I created a subfolder by mistake. Examination via iMac Finder shows that all files in the subfolders are duplicates of those in the main folder (which contains additional files as well). Catalog view shows many of the files in the main folder are already in the catalog (grayed out).
Please let me know if this is clear enough.
At some time I would like to learn how to remove those duplicate files. Could you point me to some sources giving the procedure.
To begin with, how can I take LR3 out of the "import" mode and just deal with things as they are?

To take Lightroom out of "Import" mode, click 'Cancel' (I assume by "Import mode" you mean that the import dialog box is open - clicking 'Cancel' closes it).
Now just delete the duplicates - i.e. in Library grid view, select them and press 'Delete' on your keyboard (or select them in the thumbnail filmstrip, context-click and select 'Delete Photos' with the mouse).
If you dont know which are duplicates, do tell...
If you accidentally delete too many, you can fish them out of the recycle bin, or your backup folder if you imported with backup option enabled.
Hope this helps,
Rob

My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link

You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

The way I moved from 10.3.9 to 10.5.8 was to use "ditto -rsrc" and copy the user homes and the data share to an external firewire drive. Then did the same in reverse.
I found the key to data and share permissions to make sure that the users had the same UID in Leopard that they had in Panther.
You can then use "sudo rm -rf" to remove any folder from the relocated homes that you want. Remember if you do choose to remove "~/Library" from each users relocated home, you will be removing any iCal calendars, login.keychains, browser bookmarks, custom screensavers and wallpapers, etc.
Users don't really care if they can login and do any work. But there will be much wailing, gnashing of the teeth, and anxiety, if they lose their bookmarks and wallpaper.

Trouble with locked/read only files and folders

After reinstalling OSX I have an external harddrive with locked files and folders. I´ve heard that it is possible to unlock all files and folders from Terminal (it will take hours to unlock manually). Anyone who knows a script that will set read and write access to all files and folders on a hard drive?

Cannot print "working with files and folders htm

When I try to print "Working with files-and-folders" from a Google search, it only prints part of it. I have changed my destination folder to no avail. Thank you or any help, Jack Menendez

What's the best method for moving all my nonsystem related stuff over to this new driveIan has provided you with the best solution, SuperDuper.
But if you have a 250 GB external, you really ought to clone your entire system,(only about 3 GB) so you have a backup.
I keep mine with a complete clone of my internal, that way it is easy to boot from the external and run utilities like Disk Utility, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior, etc. on the internal and vice versa.
If you run into a problem with say Preferences and don't know which one is the troublemaker, just trash the whole pref folder and use the good one from the clone. Font problem, same deal. And, if diaster ever strikes, you can just boot up from your external and keep right on working - fix the internal when you have time.
That's my 2 cents anyway

How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
(Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album. That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing. Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

Thanks for your replies ckuan
I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work. It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer. The folder structure is completely missing. I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better. Bye bye iTunes!!
Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler. Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler. Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure. OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files. No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted. iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library. Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

Compile .air with selected files and folders

Can i complie selected files and folders from php so i can get dynamic .air files
so e.g
i have 4 different css
1 css for 1 .air
2 css for 2.air
and so on

Hi,
If I understand your question correctly, you should be able to do this by writing a script and interacting with ADT via it's command line arguments. In particular, check out the "Package and Sign an AIR file in one step" section in the Packaging an AIR installation file document.
Hope this helps,

Pleas help with my music files and folders on an external drive

A while back, I thought I had a virus on my C drive and was advised to by an external hard drive to move all my important files and folders to. As an inexperienced computer guy, this eventually led to a problem. I have many folders that shouldn't have been moved, main folders that were broken up, duplicates of songs, some song files that are empty, etc. This doesn't just apply to iTunes folders, it includes all the computer's music folders.
Can you please help me reorganize and delete duplicates (C and external drives)? Is there a quick way to search for song files that will not work? Is there a way to wipe out all iTunes files and start over without losing the songs bought via itunes?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I think you're in the wrong forum. This is the iDVD forum. If I read your question correctly you probably want the iTunes for Windows forum.

Editing/renaming mp3 files and folders on my Zen Micro with Win Media Player

Can anyone tell me how I edit and rename the files all ready on my Zen Micro? For instance: I have 3 folders named "2Pac", "2 Pac" and "Tupac" and would like to put them all together under one name.
I also want to get rid of the album subfolders. I have changed the files in the Library, renaming files and folders, deleting all album names, but the changes don't seem to be made on the player.
I can't seem to change them directly changing folders and renaming files on the right side of the Media Player Screen either. Only option there is to delete files.
Bepppe

Thanks for the tip Baldbear, that should work.
So I guess it is no way of editing the files when they are all ready on the player.
Is it then impossible to get rid of the album subfolders? (without deleting all files an transfer them back on again. I would have done it if it weren't for the fact that the sync stops for no reason every 5th to 30th file I transfer.
