If Word is actually gone (apps don't just disappear) then you can download a copy of LibreOffice, it is free, and Word compatible.

NTFS issue: video files copied from Arch won´t load on other devices

Hi!
I'm having this odd issue... I'll start from zero:
I have a 1TB external HDD (usb3, iomega). It has an NTFS filesystem since it was always my Windows backup drive. Since I've buyed a Digital TV that supports video playback from external drives and almost any video format, I'm using it as a movie/etc device. Previusly I had installed Ubuntu... but since I've installed Arch, any video file that I copy to the external HDD won't work on the TV. When I try to reproduce those files copied from Arch on the TV it hags and reboot several times.
I don't know where to start. I've installed ntfs-3g-fuse package for mounting r/w without root privileges... and my user is part of "disk" and "storage" group.
Any ideas?
PD: Sorry, I'm not an english speaker... If it's not legible I'll try to write it again.

Usually crash on access indicates damaged filesystem. For example drive was removed without umount-ing it.
For start you can run file system check on your drive from Windows - "chkdsk /f X:"
You also can run it as "chkdsk /f /r X:" to check for bad-blocks (though it is not so critical now days).
Keep in mind - NTFS is proprietary system so 'ntfsfix' from ntfsprogs in Linux could help sometime but do not hold you breath with it.
Better find Windows for Windows filesystem.
Or you can just recreate files system from scratch with mkntfs - all data on the drive will be lost, obviously. But you do not need windows for that.

Eugene.

No write access to files copied from a CD-ROM

Hello:
I have searched and found a few topics on fixing permissions on files copied from CD-ROM that are read only. I would like to know if there is a way to prevent the problem. I routinely get files burned on Windows machines and I can copy the folders and enclosed files to my desktop but both the folders and the files inside show up with "Read Only" permissions.
While it is possible to fix it, I would have thought that if they are copied from a CD-ROM to my desxtop that I should automatically have write access to them. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Repartitioning and reformatting will remove all the information on the drives. You will prefer to backup any data you wish to save. You can do that by transferring those files to one of the two drives using a Windows computer or by purchasing a third drive that can be OS X formatted to which the data on one of the Windows drives may be copied. Then repartition/reformat one of the Windows drives for OS X and copy the data from the third drive to this drive. Then copy the data on the remaining Windows drive to the now empty third drive, repartition/reformat the second Windows drive. Finally, copy the data from the third drive to the second Windows drive.
There is really no need for a Time Capsule nor would it be preferred since you will now have three perfectly good external drives to use for backups and/or storage.

Music file transfered from PC does not appear in t...

Some of my music files transfered from PC does not appear in the music player in the cellphone but they appear as rigntone..NOKIA N81
How will i resolve it??
Can someone help me?
Please reply, it's urgent.

Hi Irosenth
Thanks for the answer. I am not sure I understand your question though.
We have a collection of reader enabled pdfs that the user can open in a webbrowsercomponent in a .Net winform.
We used to (Reader 9.4 and before) replace the Readers "save pdf" button with our own "save pdf" button that
- saves the pdf
- exports its data as xml
- send a message to the .Net winform that the pdf has been saved.
We implemented our own save button and its functions using a plug-in.
Now I can't find our "save pdf" button in Reader X. That is my problem.
So I try to create a new toolbar and place our "save pdf" on this new toolbar as you adviced me.
I expect the toolbar to show up in the Tools pane in the webbrowser component in Reader X.
But it doesn't. There is no Tools pane when I open the PDF in the webbrowser.
(btw all the keyboard shortcuts we have created in the plugin (ie CTRL, ALT, L) works fine - so the plugin generally works).
When I couldn't find my toolbar with its button in the webrowser, I tried to open one of the reader enabled pdfs in the Reader X as a standalone application.
This was just as a test to see if it worked any different from the browser plugin. It is not part of our use case.
But I noticed that in the standalone Reader X I do have a Tools pane, and my new toolbar but no "save pdf" button.
This is how it looked with Reader 9.4 and before:
OK the red text in the screenshot is quite difficult to read. It says (from above)
"We have replaced the Readers save button with our own save button in the plugin.
This is the (selvcreated save) button I miss in Reader X"
"This is a Reader enabled PDF shown in a webbrowser component in a .Net Winform"
"The users only have the Reader, not Acrobat"
Best regards
Jan

How to change the file type from IMOVIE PROJECT to other types of file

how to change the file type from IMOVIE PROJECT to other types of file??
thank you very much for your help=]

I am not sure what you mean, but once you make a project. Then go to the share menu and you can export the project to iDVD, itunes, mobileme, quicktime.
Share export quicktime movie will allow you to export to a variety of codecs. What specific export are you looking to share the movie in? What is the final source that the movie will be displayed?

Extremely slow file copy from USB 3 external Seagate on MacBook

I copied my iPhoto file of 20GB onto a new Seagate USB external drive from my 2011 MacBook in about 20 minutes over USB 2.0. I am copying up the same file from the same drive on my newer 2012 MacBook pro and it is taking 7 hours. The newer MacBook has a 750GB SATA SSD and is equipped with USB 3.0. Why would it take so much longer to copy from the drive to the newer Mac using a faster USB spec?

Well, I solved this myself with some searching on other threads. I turned off Spotlight indexing on the drive, and killed the copy job, disconnected and reconnected the drive, and the copy is now going quite fast. Will be done in lest than 5 minutes.
System Preferences> Spotlight>Privacy> Press the + and added the external drive.
Apparently, this is the default behavior of Spotlight, and the indexing was causing the bottleneck.

File copy from shell using nautilus file operations?

Is it possible to have the nautilus file operations copy command from a shell? In other words, rather than using the cp command, I'd like to have a file copy triggered from a bash script that uses the familiar "File Operations" dialog box in nautilus. Can this be done?

Hello Bibin,
Give this a try., if i understood correctly. I coudn't test it my side.
$servers = get-content C:\hosts.txt
foreach ($server in $servers)
if(test-path \\Centralserver\share\$server)
if(test-path \\$server\c$\xxx.file)
Copy -path \\$server\c$\xxx.file -Destination \\CentralServer\share\$server\ -Recurse -ErrorVariable CopyErrorS
#stores all your copy errors
$copyError = $copyError + $copyerrorS
else
Write-Output "source file on server $server is missing"
else
New-Item -Name $server -ItemType Directory -path \\centralserver\share\ -Force -Errorvariabe FCreationErrorS
#Stores all your Folder creation errors
$FCreationError = $FCreationError + $FCreationErrorS
if((test-path \\$server\c$\xxx.file) -and (test-path \\Centralserver\share\$server))
Copy -path \\$server\c$\xxx.file -Destination \\CentralServer\share\$server\ -Recurse -force
else
Write-Output "Error creating source folder on $server."

What does a greyed out folder mean? (after failed file copy from Time Capsule)

I did a clean install of Mavericks and I'm trying to copy my files back from my Time Capsule.
The transfer rate is terrible, despite being a direct link via gigabit ethernet.
I have about 800GB of Logic projects on the Time Capsule, so I set it off to copy them over.
After 2 days and 233GB copied across, my iMac hung and I had to do a hard reset.
I now have a 233GB folder on my desktop that is lighter in colour and I can't open it. Nothing happens.
Is there any way to resume the copy, or am I looking at starting again, leaving my iMac untouched for 5 days and hoping for the best?
The tech just doesn't work reliably, despite being a fresh install of Mavericks and an offical Apple Time Capsule 2TB. No idea what I'd do if I had 2 or 3GB of data...

Phil,
If you haven't already you may want to try to restart the TC first to ensure that it doesn't think that that folder or it's contents are still in use in some way.
If that doesn't allow deletion, then you may need to use terminal to delete it regardless of permissions. Be careful when doing the following and make sure that all spaces and typing are done exactly as given below:
1) Log into the mac as an account that is an Administrator
2) Open Terminal, then arrange Terminal and Finder so you can see them both
3) Open a Finder where you can see the grayed-out folders on the TC
4) In terminal, type the following, including a [space] at the end (but don't hit enter yet)
sudo rm -r
5) From Finder, drag the bad folder to the terminal window and release. This will type the correct path into terminal. Ignore and leave any backslashes that are added to the path. You should end up with a command that looks like this:
sudo rm -r /Volumes/MyTC/ParentFolder/BadFolder
6) Hit enter ONLY if the path looks correct and ends in the name of the bad folder you are trying to kill. If the path looks wrong or does not end in the targeted folder name, then do not hit enter and close terminal.
7) Once you hit enter you will be prompted for the password of your currently logged in user.
8) it should then blow away the folder.
9) Close terminal

I have a seagate external hard drive with files copied from windows pc. If I will download NTFS driver from seagate to my mac, could I install it safely without harming my files in the external hard drive? I am afraid I may erase all files in there.

I have a seagate external hard drive with files transferred from my windows pc. If I will download NTFS Driver from seagate to my mac, could I install it safely without harming my files? I am afraid.. I might erase all my important files during the installation..

Thanks a lot! I have already downloaded Paragon Driver and it works well with seagate external hard drive. I am copying as of now my important files from my mac to it. However, I have only the trial version which will expire in 10 days. I don't have credit card to buy for it.

Files copied from UDF data dvd are Read-only

I have a bunch on data DVDs burnt on a pc using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7. These disks are UDF format and can be read perfectly on pc or mac. The problem is : if I copy a file to my desktop, it becomes owned by me but r-xr-xr-x. It's not a problem for me personally but other users I support have a hard time figuring what's wrong when they can't rename the file they just copied.
Is it normal behavior or am I the only one with this problem ? I was supprised not to find anything in apple forum about this.
The work around is to change permissions to read-write in the getinfo window + apply to included elements + password or use chmod but it's not how I'd expect it to work. And I don't know how to modify the default permissions given to files from an UDF dvd. Copies of files from iso9660 disks are read-write.
3 PM G5s and 2 G4s Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I don't believe this is a problem of leopard in general. i can not reproduce this behavior with any of my afp shares. no matter how i connect (as an owner or as a guest) after I copy something to the desktop it gets standard 644 (not 600) permissions.

File dates of files copied from my iphone to my XP system are realy off!

Whenever a file is copied from my iPhone to my XP System via iTunes copy purchases, Sync, Etc... the file date of files copied are realy wrong! Extremely old dates are used insted of the actual date. In windows XP the file list can display three dates, The Created Date, The Modified Date and the Last Accessed Date. I think it's the accessed date thats coming up wrong. Anyone else experience this? or can anyone explain what might cause this.
Thanks!

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

My microsoft word won't open anymore in macbook pro with latest OSX

I had installed OSX latest version some months ago and there was no problem with opening all documents in words.
Just today I can open the word document but stalled and could not edit as there is a rolling icon (processing) appeared.
I did remove the word program by using my MacKeeper software remove installed program.
Then I insert the Microsoft Office 2011 original CD to reinstall the microsoft office again.
Before the crash and after the reinstallation both My Excel and Powerpoint are doing ok .. can
be opened and used to edit ppt and xls documents.
Before the word program removed .. when I opened the word document just appeared
"opening normal dot" message. This had never happened before the stalled opened
word document.
I did also restart the macbook pro (version 2011 manufacturing date) but now my word
even can not be opened with error reporting message as follows:

what am I supposed to do to ? I try to googling the topic but can not find the exact similar incident in google search
results. Is this some kind of a virus attack ? Does anyone can recommend any solutions that work?
Thankyou so much for your sharing and suggestions.

I am running Word for Mac v 14.2.0 quite happily on my iMac 27" running Maverick 10.9.4.
Possibly it is due to issues with your Retina screen? The obvious first step is to update Word to the latest version.
Virus attacks are not the first guess on a Mac. I have never ever had one nor even been able to locate any malware for well over a decade. Word can harbour Macro viruses but I thought that the Mac version of Word didn't do macros.
Either way this is not the place to get your answers. Pages is not Word. Use Microsft's support forums for their software.

HELP - BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER FROM PC TO MACBOOK NOT WORKING....

Hi,
My Macbook is paired to my PC and both PC and Macbook can see each other...
The Macbook can also see files in my PC and can directly "Get file"
I can even "Send file" to my PC from the Macbook
I can even do other tasks like deleting files from my PC etc from my Macbook...
But When I try to send a file from my PC to my Macbook the transfer never works - The PC says: "Could not connect to the remote device"
Help plz...

On your dock or in applications in finder is an application called system preferences. Open it. Then click bluetooth. Go under sharing and set your bluetooth sharing options.
Then under the system preferences there is another item called sharing. Check your firewall settings there.
