Manual moving of .ZIP files

If I move the rollup ZIP files out of the EntMergeDir (to temporarily
halt
processing) and then put them back in it later, how do I tell the
server to
start processing them again? Stop/Start the inventory services again?

Okay. The server in question is a root server with its own Sybase
database;
the files in question are rollup ZIPs from an intermediate server. Any
other
ideas or suggestions, feel free.

Error when opening a zipped file transfred to the FTP via ABAP program

Hi All,
I have extracted the files from al11 and have zipped them and moved the zipped file to FTP site.
But when I open the zipped file in FTP site, it shows the file names, but they dont look like real files(looks as text)...Even when copied the zipped file to the local pc and tried opening it the result was same.
Note : For testing when the same zipped file is written to al11 and dowloaded from there using CG3y it works fine.
Also created a zipped folder manualy and copied it to the FTP site and tried opening it.....It opened but displayed there are no records in it (which is incorrect), But when copied the same file back to local PC it displayed correctly.
Please let me know hoe to resolve this issue.
Regards
Jithu

I am attempting to install Camera raw from a .zip file provided via a link provided by adobe for a Nikon D810. The .zip file unzips fine and I moved the files to the recommended folder. But the operation is failing

Can you describe what “the operation is failing” means? What is happening and how is it different than what you expect?
Also, what product are you trying to update manually, and do you have a link to the page of instructions, so we know what your attempting to do?

ITunes Fix for Manually Moving Music and other Media

Intro
Any iTunes 7.x user who manages their own music library outside of the "iTunes Music" folder might be able to tell you that iTunes DOES NOT respond well after manually moving tracks from one place to another on their computer systems. In fact, any file you move becomes immediately unplayable in iTunes. And, if you're anything like I am, losing several years worth of song rating metadata and playlists is not a good incentive for change. However, one thing others might not be able to tell you is that there's an easy workaround for the problem and you get to keep your playlists, ratings and other info. Read on to learn about the workaround.
About the Workaround
The workaround is a simple hack I devised after recently transferring a good portion of my music library between hard disks and running into problems with iTunes. The fix steps provided below are intended to circumvent the problems with iTunes and give users the freedom to move songs and other media files on their computers while maintaining the integrity of both the ratings and the playlists. Meaning you won't need to manually update the song locations in iTunes one-at-a-time, which, at version 7.02 is the only way to accomplish this task using the program.
Please be aware that not all information is retained using this workaround. What will be lost are the following: the "Recently Added", "Recently Played" and "Top 25 Most Played" iTunes Smart Playlists; any media file play counts; last played information; and possibly some other data used only internally by iTunes.
So, if you're comfortable parting with some metadata while keeping your cherished song ratings and playlists intact during file relocation, read on to learn how to use the workaround.
Workaround Steps
The following instructions walk step-by-step through the process of this workaround.
Note: All backslashes used in file paths have been converted to forward slashes so that they will adhere with MySpace XSS security validation checks. These altered paths can still be copy/paste into Windows Vista's Explorer program once the Username is changed to the User Account where the iTunes files reside.
Preparing for the Move
Before you move your files, do the following:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Create a backup copy of the following files:
iTunes Library XML (iTunes Music Library.xml)
Note: Vista users can find the Library XML at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
iTunes Music Database (iTunes Library.itl)
Note: Vista users can find the Music Database at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
Moving Your Files
This part should be self explanatory, but while you do it make sure to note the following two things:
1. The path where the files were previously stored (e.g. D:/Music).
2. The path where the files will end up (e.g. E:/Music).
Execute the Fix
After your files are moved, complete the following steps to implement the fix.
Note: Do not open iTunes during this process.
Hack the iTunes Library XML
Once the files are moved the Library XML file locations will be out of sync. Follow the steps below to update them so that they now reference the correct file locations.
1. Open the iTunes Library XML with a Text Editor with a Find/Replace function.
Note: Vista users can find the Library XML at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
Tip: Do not try to do this with Dreamweaver if your Library XML is greater than 10MB.
2. Perform a Find/Replace using the following inputs:
Find: Path from Step 1 of Moving Your Files
Replace: Path from Step 2 of Moving Your Files
3. Confirm your results, and then save and close the Library XML.
Delete the iTunes Music Database
Hacking the iTunes Library isn't enough to fool iTunes. Like the Library XML, the Music Database also holds the file locations of all of the media stored within the program. And it's smart enough to wipe out the Library XML hack if iTunes is opened before completing this step.
Ensure you have backed up the iTunes Music Database (iTunes Library.itl) and delete the file.
Note: Vista users can find the Music Database at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
Back in iTunes
Once the fix is in place you can now open iTunes again. You will notice that all of your playlists, music and other items have vanished. In order to recover them all (with the exception of the Smart Playlists mentioned in the About the Workaround section above) we'll need to import the hacked Library XML file back into iTunes.
1. Open iTunes and press CtrlShiftO or go to File > Import…
2. Navigate to and Open your modified Library XML (as pictured below).
3. iTunes will then begin importing the contents of the XML file (as pictured below).
Note: This process may take a while, depending on the size if your library.
Wrapping Up
Once the import process is complete iTunes will look almost exactly the way you left it, with the exception that some playlists have been duplicated and the number of songs may be a hair off. To fix this problem delete any duplicate playlists in the "Library" panel in iTunes. You can now test out the changes by selecting an item moved earlier and testing it out. All that's left from there is to let iTunes perform any automated analysis it needs to do and rock on.
Other OS

Holy Smokes:
I appreciate your detailed workaround post. My question is this: I use iTunes to keep everything organized (though I'm well aware of the shortcomings...) and can use the simple solution that Chris from CA posted, but I don't have room to consolidate everything. My read on consolidating is that you copy from wherever you have your music located (and right now my music is outside of the MyMusic/iTunes folder, as that backs up to my work server) and so you have to have enough room for all of your music to be copied (and then you delete it from its prior location). That's how Apple describes it in, e.g., http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748. I ain't go that kind of room. Is there any way to make the move to a completely different PC by following the simple option? From the posting I just linked it sounds like you MUST consolidate whether you use you iPod to move things or use an external drive.
Of course, I can use your workaround, but I thought I'd ask first. Many thanks.

Firefox won't download a zip file

There is a chat board that I belong to and they posted a zip file. It looks like a white piece of paper with a folded over corner and says zip on it. When I put my cursor over it, it kind of blows up and then says at the bottom the file name then file.Zip 260K, but I can't click on it to get it to download, save, open, reject, nothing.
I believe I have downloaded zip files in past but for some reason can't download this one.
Can someone help please.

Are there other similar downloads on the site that do work, such as images, Word documents, etc., or are they all broken the same way?
I wasn't familiar with the ModPlugin extension. Does it operate on the site that has the problem? If so, could you test with the extension disabled? You can do that by restarting in Firefox's Safe Mode, or manually on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
If that extension is not relevant to the site that has the problem, or if the problem continues after disabling it, can you provide a link to the site so someone could check it out?

How to delete zip file in sftp server

Hi Gurus,
I am having one .zip file with data files inside on the sftp server. Can you please how to delete the .zip files in the sftp server. I am able to delete normal files by using 'rm' on sftp.
And one more request my sftp is prompting for the password everytime, then i need to enter the password manually. Can any one suggest how to write in shell script to accept that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Nagendra

You might want to look into user equivalence and configure a certificate for ssh so it does not prompt for a password.
It will also allow you to use sftp without a prompt for a password.
On the server side:
Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and remove the # from the following:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
Then restart the ssh server:
/etc/init.d/sshd restart
Login as the user for whom this is for:
su - <username>
mkdir .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh
On the client side:
Run the following command:
ssh-keygen -t rsa (omit password)
Then use the following to copy the public key from the client to the
corresponding login .ssh directory on the server side;
scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub username@remote_host:.ssh/authorized_keys

I have a Windows 7 laptop using I tunes 64 and all my music files are
on an external disc. I rarely use I tunes and at one point moved all my files
(including the music files) from one external disc to another without
considering what affect this would have on the I tunes library. When I eventually
attempted to use I tunes, every selected a song from the library resulted in a
message stating that the file couldn't be located. After following some of the procedures
explained in this community I was able to reconnect the library back to where
the associated music files are presently stored. However, there are still 2
problems that need to be corrected. 1) Every song file now has a duplicate. One
file works and the other file will result in the same message stating that the
file couldn't be located. Before there were 4,000 songs in the library, now
there are 8,000 songs. I need to eliminate the 4,000 dead song files. 2) All
the playlists are still associated with the dead song files which makes the
playlists unusable. Can the playlists be reconnected to the usable files
without manually having to recreate them? Thanks in advance for the help.

So am I understanding correctly?
You used your iPod as a hard drive (drag and drop) instead of having iTunes install the music?
If you used drag and drop your choices are different than if you used iTunes to transfer.
Good luck!

iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

Jar files downloaded from SkyDrive are being renamed to jar.zip files

I have cut and pasted the following series of exchanges from when I posted the problem onto SkyDrive's support forum. I hope that someone might be able to propose a better solution to the problem that I have. Thanks for your help.
MDSms asked on
Uploaded jar files convert to jar.zip files when downloaded from SkyDrive
I have uploaded an executable jar file to SkyDrive. (I will call this FILE.jar). The file is intact and indicates that it is a jar file type when the file is viewed by Properties within Skydrive. However, when I download (or others download through a share link) the file, it is being saved onto the local computer's download file with .zip appended to the file name (FILE.jar.zip). The downloaded file can be renamed to remove the .zip appendage and subsequently run successfully. However the folder options for the folder where the downloaded file resides must be changed for disable "Hide known file extensions" prior to being able to remove the .zip appendage. While I have figured out the workaround for this problem, this manual renaming procedure is entirely too cumbersome as a solution for sharing this file with others. How can I prevent or disable the FILE.jar file from being renamed to FILE.jar.zip when it is downloaded from SkyDrive?

The file was uploaded by first logging onto my SkyDrive account using Windows 7 Pro and Firefox browser, then a new folder in my account was created without sharing privileges, then the folder was opened and the FILE.jar was uploaded into the folder using the "Upload" option on skydrive account menu. Sharing privileges for FILE.jar were then created (view only), and the shortened url link was sent to the individuals that I was trying to share the file with. was then turned on. When these people use the link to download the file, it is being saved as FILE.jar.zip.
When I try to download the file through the skydrive account download option, it is being saved onto my computer as FILE.jar.zip and this occurs when I try to download the file while signed into my skydrive account as well as when I am not signed into my skydrive account (using the shared file link).
This PNG shows the information provided by clicking on the download icon (down arrow) within the Firefox browser; note that the file was downloaded as FILE.jar.zip and that the source was live.com. When I use Windows Explorer to look at the same file within the Download folder itself, examining the file's properties details also shows that it is being saved as FILE.jar.zip and is of the file type compressed zip folder.
This PNG shows the information displayed to me from my skydrive account when I view the originally uploaded file's properties; note that the information shows that the file is a jar file type.
When I utilize Internet Explorer 9 to access the file, FILE.jar is being downloaded onto my computer as a jar file type. This PNG shows the information provided by Tools/View Downloads within the IE9 browser. Note that in this instance, the information indicates that the file is being downloaded from yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
It appears to me that the problem (the FILE.jar file being renamed to FILE.jar.zip) arises from the fact that a jar file downloaded from skydrive using firefox, is being sent from live.com whereas a jar file downloaded from skydrive using IE9 is being sent from yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
I want to make sure that a person receiving a share link from me for FILE.jar is able to download it without modification to the file name regardless of which browser is being using to access the link. How can I make sure that this occurs?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi MDSms,
I appreciate you for providing as much information as you can about the issue, as well as for uploading screenshots on what you see from the downloaded file. About your initial concern wherein the file gets renamed with .zip after the original file extension, this is solely dependent on the browser that you are using since they have a different safety/security measure that needs to be implemented.
Moreover, you may see the file servers live.com and yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com to be different with one another, but they actually are sent from the same SkyDrive server. This in turn, depends on the web browser where the file is being downloaded as well. The live.com file where it was downloaded from Firefox simply masks its original server yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
As for your last query about your recipients downloading the file without the hassle of renaming it from a .zip file, you can simply tell them to download it through Internet Explorer.
Should you have other queries or additional information that might help in our investigation, I highly encourage you to post them here.
Regards,
Michelle
MDSms replied on
Michelle,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I could simply tell them to download the file through Internet Explorer, but is there another solution or workaround to the problem I have described here? Am I being punished with the curse of this problem simply because I (or the individuals with which I wish to share FILE.jar with) choose to use Firefox instead of IE? Will the use of any other browser instead of IE (Chrome, Safari, etc., etc.) still result in the same problem?
You stated that it is "solely dependent on the browser that you are using since they have a different safety/security measure that needs to be implemented"........could the problem be overcome by designating one or both of the file server addresses as Trusted Sites within the browser options setting?
I look forward to your response. Thanks in advance.

Hi MDSms,
We understand your concern. Since the issue does not occur in Internet Explorer, it has something to do with Firefox's security feature. You might want to verify this concern by contacting Firefox support.
Hope this helps. Let us know if we can further assist you with SkyDrive.

Keynote (6.2) file won't open. Can I make a new Index.zip file using some of the extracted .iwa files?

Keynote (6.2) file won't open (hung and crashed during auto-OS update). Trying to salvage everything possible. I know about grabbing the pictures from Data folder, but is there a way to extract the good .iwa files and make a new Index.zip?
Tried extracting, capturing uncorrupted .iwa and deleting corrupted ones, but can't figure out how to re-compress to readable format for Keynote. Seems silly that I can't ge the new .zip file to work. There has to be some sort of manual work-around, yeah?
Thanks.

This problem has been reported to the AppleWorks team, but I doubt that we will ever hear if there is a fix. AppleWorks 6 is now nearly 6 years old & hasn't even had an update since March, 2004.
Nothing has been found to be able to make AppleWorks 6.2.9 open the problem files. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6, including the OS 8/9 component 6.2.8. If you have the retail version of AppleWorks & have Classic installed, you can "Force" AppleWorks 6 to open in Classic to open the files, save them as AW 6 files & then open them in the OS X version. You do want to make sure you don't have both the Classic & OS X versions of AppleWorks 6 running at the same time. I find it much easier to use AppleWorks 5 in Classic to open & save the files. AppleWorks 6.2.9 has no problem opening AppleWorks 5 files.

How to use .dbf files zipped into a .zip file from within a java program

i have a .zip file containing several .dbf files.
the zip file is automatically downloaded regularly and data from the .dbf files is inserted into the database.
how do i facilitate automatic extraction of a zip file or how do i fetch data from the .dbf file? (this cannot be done manually)
anu.

you could write a little polling class checking the zip file. you can use the java.util.jar package to extract the zip file (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jar/api/index.html). you could also use Jakarta ant (http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html) to do this job (core task "zip") and call ant's target file on a regular basis (dependend on the OS you use, you can set os tasks/schedules).

File name character encoding in zipped file

Hi All,
I have the following problem: I have received a zipped file which contains a folder and file structure. The file was zipped on Windows XP with Czech language. The problem is that the folder/file names use Czech characters (codepage CP1250). The characters in filenames after unzipping the structure are corrupted.
Is there any way how to define the codepage during unzipping or, more in general, way how to convert file names in one codepage to UTF-16 used in Mac's file system?
Thanks for ideas.

You might give this a try for converting the filenames after unzipping, though I think it is designed for the old Mac CE encoding rather than the Windows version:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/FileName_Encoding_RepairUtility
Otherwise the only option may be manually converting the text strings with something like TextWrangler.

I trashed the attachment, and emptied the trash. when I recognized my mistake. But, because i opened it first, I'm worried the next time I open iTunes, my iTunes account information will be stolen.
How do I get rid of the, now unzipped file that is lurking around in my system? (A spotlight search doesn't locate it). How do protect my iTunes account info next ime I open iTunes?
If this should be in a different discussio, please let me know where it should.
Any help is appreciated.

The tunes that are on the desk top - will they play in iTunes without moving them OR do you get the (!)?
The thing to be aware of it that the iTunes Library and the iTunes Music Library.xml are what keeps track things for iTunes and other apps. These files by default are in HD>user>User Account>Music>iTunes. If they get moved then iTunes will create 2 new files and all you old info is gone.
If you are getting the you can try to put the tunes that are on the desktop back into the iTunes Music folder and see if iTunes will find them again.
If not, then you need to add those tunes that are on the desktop - but not in library. Once ALL the tunes are in one place then you should be able to delete the extras.
Don't delete the purchased tunes without having a backup of those tunes. iTMS is clear about the download policy. It is a one time download.
