Move System Preferences Help file back into System Preferences folder?
How do I move System Preferences Help file back into System Preferences folder. I unintentionally moved it. My Mac blocks putting it back. Suggestions? Thanks!
Somehow I managed to delete my System Preferences shortly after upgrading, and was able to use the 10.4 one for a while until I applied the patch. Luckily, I already had Pacifist, and with your directions I was able to get close enough so that I could find the Applications folder within the ContentsofEssentialsSystemSoftwareGroup > ContentsofEssentials.pkg > Applications > SystemPreferences.app.
For that, I owe you the deepest gratitude and a gigantic THANK YOU. My System Preferences is now fully reinstalled and working wonderfully.
Pacifist might actually be worth purchasing.

How do I get missing help files back into XP Media Center?
Quite some time ago my "help" information in Media Center dissappeared. I have restore points, but often go for long periods of time withOUT using Media Center. I cannot find an information about repairing or re-installing Media Center. I have an HP Media Center PC m7470n runing XP SP3, with Windows XP Media Center Edition2005 v. 5.1.2715.3011, Update Rollup 2. If I click help it does nothing. Sometimes I can watch TV & sometimes not. Today all channels are just static, if I go to TV tuner setup, the program locks up, then I have to go to Task Manager in order to exit MC. NO RECOVERY CD'S came with my PC. I had created recovery CD's a long time ago, but when I access PC Tools & Help to recover software, Media Center is not listed there. Also in add/remove, there is no "repair" choice for Media Center. I am NOT interested in doing a COMPLETE Restore. Also if I click "Guide Terms of Service" or "Data Provider Credits" nothing appears. Please help.
Have you tried disconnecting the cable from the PC, restart the PC, and then reconnect and try to setup the TV signal again? I'm thinking it's freezing because the MC is not recognizing the signal, like it knows something is there but it can't figure it out. It also could be you had some sort of energy surge or static buildup. I know this sounds unlikely. But electronics can act weird when they have too much static or some other kind of interference.
It is odd that two of your systems would have the cable signal go out at the same time, but you may be write that it's unrelated....but if it is related, maybe having the cable guy fix one will fix both

How do I move a user's sparse image BACK into the correct folder
Please help if you can!
I accidentally moved the sparse image connected to my administrator account into the 'shared' folder. (I was trying to confirm shared settings between users, and inadvertently moved the file.) There were no error messages or warnings, the file moved easily into the shared folder.
After it was moved, I was unable to login to that user's desktop, and the only explanation is "...because there was an error." The only thing I can think of is that it's because of the moved sparse image for that user.
But, I can't move it back. The computer won't allow me to move the file, and when I try to copy it to the appropriate folder I get an error message that there is not enough disk space. I tried creating a new administrator account, but that didn't work. I've tried changing the file-sharing settings, but nothing I've thought of doing has worked. I've tried turning off Fire Vault for that user, but I can't seem to do it from a different user account.
If you have any ideas of how I could log into this user account, I would be very, very grateful. It's my main desktop, and I need access to the files located there!
Please help!!Dear jsd2 and William,
Thank you both so much for your help. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate both of you taking the time to help me figure out this problem.
William - The Library folder was basically empty. It had some Quicktime preferences in it, but nothing else. The Terminal didn't even recognize it, and I actually couldn't delete through Terminal, but simply sent it to the trash. Even so, I couldn't log in the user account.
jsd2 - I was able to log in as root and had no problems opening the sparseimage. I then copied all of the data to an external HD. Once that was finished I verified the sparseimage mounted disk, but there were no problems found. Even so, I repaired disk, but still no problems found. Even so, I couldn't log into the user account. I did get to the point where it asked for the master FireVault password (by entering the wrong password 3 or 4 times). It accepted the master password, but then it wouldn't let me change the password and login (the master password only led me to a new-password screen).
So, after verifying that ALL of my data was safely on the external HD (including music, pictures, mailboxes, files, etc...), I deleted the user account and home folder for the account I was locked out of. Then, I created a new account, and manually transfered the necessary files back into the user folder. Then, I restarted my computer and breathed a huge sigh of relief when my wallpaper came up on the screen. About 98% of my settings are in tact. All music, pictures, files, and e-mails survived. Although I have to re-ad the actual e-mail accounts, all of the other account settings are there.
I will leave the copied files on the external HD for at least a few days or a week to make sure nothing important is missing, then I will set up Time Machine and start making regular backups.
So, thank again, both of you, for your invaluable help, which led to a successful, if somewhat roundabout, solution to this problem.
Also, jsd2, I don't remember if I turned Fire Vault off when I upgraded or not. It seems to me that the directions said I should, and in which case I would have - but the upgrade wasn't recent, so I don't really remember. (Or rather - clearly I didn't, if what you say is true.) At the moment, FireVault is off for all accounts on this computer. I want to turn it back on, but, to be honest, I'm really scared to now....Since I don't know what caused the problem in the first place, I'm leery that if the problem hasn't been fixed I might end up in the same situation again. Although I hadn't had any problems before today, and I know that I must have done something in the 'sharing' settings that created the problem. -
Question?
I have accidentally deleted a large number of develped images in Lightroom before I did a backup. I reimported the original raw files back into Lightroom hoping the develop settings would be re-established but no luck. Notice system mau have done an auto-backup as have an lrcat-journal file. Can I use this to restore my develop settings. I also have jpgs generated from all the deleted images.Hello,
if you have a backup of your catalog you can do the following:
1. Backup your catalog first
2. Restore your backup catalog to some location
3. Open your current catalog and select "files->import from another catalog".
4. Select your backup catalog and your lost images. LR ask you if you want to overwrite the current settings or save them as a virtual copy.
As an alternativ you can open your backup catalog, select the "lost" images and save the development settings as xmp sidecar fiels (using ctrl-s). Then open your current catalog, seletct the images and use "Metadata->Read Metadata from files". -
System Preference Help File?
I noticed that when I am in the System Preferences, and open the help menu, there is nothing there. I get an empty help pane. Typing in a question gets the spinning beachball.
This is the case for both my MacBook and MacPro.
Did I do something to both of these computers, or is this a common problem?
Or is it a problem at all?
I did not see anything in the forum on this.
Thanks,
RussI finally stumbled upon the answer.

I have a MacBook Pro, its 1 year old. I'm trying to set up my ICloud on it, and when I go to "preferences", (it says to go to "Preferences" in the instructions,) and then "click" on "ICloud", but my ICloud is not there. How can I get "ICloud back into "my preferences".

This suggests you don't have the right operating system. OS X 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, which operating system do you have. -
How can I import an ibook file back into iBook Author?
I exported an ebook from iBook Author thinking it is the equivalent of saving the file.
I did not save the file, I only exported it and than exited the program.
My active file is vannished.
I need to make some adjustments to the ebook, but can not bring it back up.
Is there a way that I can re-import the iBook file back into iBook Author?
When I open iBook Author and try to open the exported file the program does not recognise the ibook file...
Thanks for your help!Check for previous versions of that book in iBA....even if not saved.
You can dig into the .ibooks file by changing the suffix to zip, but you'll have to manually extract what you can from assets you find. Please only do this with your own books. -
Is it possible to get published to folder files back into iweb?
Hello,
I have created a website in iweb and published it to a folder and to my .mac account. I have recently closed down my .mac account so I could reopen one with my new business name. In the meantime I have upgraded to Leopard which deleted my iweb application.I have got another copy of iweb but now when I open iweb it does not automatically open my website up. Does anyone know if it is possible to open my old website which I have Published to a folder in iweb so I can publish it to my new .mac site?
If i click on the html files in the folder it runs like the website but from that folder only. All the work is there I just can't find out how to get it back on the net.
Please help so I don't have to spend weeks re entering all the files back into iweb one by one!
ThanksYou can upload your website files by drag and drop to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites to get your website up and running.
To be able to publish changes you will have to do a search for the original domain.sites2 file and drop this into Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
If you can't find it, then rebuilding is your only option. This is frustrating but doesn't take too long if you copy and paste all your text, images etc from the published files to your new iWeb pages. -

Hi thee. As logical as I can be. I export a file back into my folder as a PSD. I then export that file to PS. Work on it, save and return it to LR. The file goes to the bottom of the folder from where I have to put it back in the original place, taking time and driving me slightly mad. Why does the file not go back to where it came from please? Thanks Tim
Umm, but this folder is an amalgam of two cameras and five cards, and I want them in capture order! Thanks for trying though Jim.
Cheers

How do I put recovery files back into ASM?
I'm trying to recover a database for testing. I have all the backup files in a directory. I've restored the controlfile.
When I run the restore, the error is:
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 10/21/2009 19:24:52
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 4 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 3 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 2 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
I'm guessing that I either need to tell rman where to find the files or put the files back into the ASM +FLASHBACK.
So 1) How do I tell rman that the files are now in a directory
or 2) How do I put the files back into ASM?
Thanks - JRI restored the control file with the rman "RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'filenamegoeshere'; It was the control file backup from the corresponding DB backup.
I couldn't use the RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP because it was expecting the backup files to be in the ASM +FLASHBACK.
The catalog lists all the files that I have, but it thinks they are in ASM.
Thanks - JR -
How to import modified files back into Muse
Maybe this is an easy sync issue....hopefully.
I've exported my html files from Muse (after publishing to Biz Catalyst) and want to modify the html, such as ad href's to divs in the slideshow, etc. How can I import these modified html files back into Muse so I can publish back to Business Catalyst?
I realize it's an easy solution to host the exported files on another server, but I'd really like to stay within the Muse/Biz Catalyst environment with updated html's.
thanks much!!There isn't a way at this time to import HTML files into Muse and expect it to load in Design mode for a subsequent re-publish. The only kind of editing that Muse supports today (outside of Muse) is through Business Catalyst's In-Browser editing feature but that is limited to editing only text (without any formatting or styles) and foreground images <http://www.adobekb.com/working-with-in-browser-editing_pt01.html>. Feel free to submit your feature request over at our Ideas section.

Parse XMLFormatter log files back into LogRecords
My app uses a java.util.logging.FileHandler and XMLFormatter to generate XML log files, which is great. Now I want to display those logs in my app's web admin console.
I assumed that there would be an easy way to read my XML logs files back into a List of LogRecord objects, but my initial investigation has revealed nothing.
Anyone have any advice?If you remove an "active" log file, then this can cause problems. If you remove an archieved log file, then it is OK.
If you change the log directory, then you SHOULD inform all your applications that use this directory... Depending on the service, this information is usually stored inside the config files of the services.

Masterd files back into wave burner
Hi everyone.
Im currently getting my projects mastered abroad; usually when I master locally the mastering engineer can embed the my ISRC codes and information on a CD ready for duplication. However I dont think I can get a CD sent to me, it would just be the mastered WAV file.
Can I take the mastered WAV file back into wave burner to insert the relevant information and codes and export it back out without effecting the file?That doesn't sound like a problem to me as long as you don't add any plug-ins, normalize, or make any volume level changes. If the mastered files come back as individual tracks, you will have to deal with timing gaps between tracks. If they come back as a single file, you will need to insert track markers.
Out of curiosity, where do you have them mastered? Are you getting good results? -
Importing Color Corrected Master Back Into System for Trailer, DVDs, etc.
Hi there,
Thanks to all of you who have been of great help to me as I've been working with Technicolor on the Mastering of a feature. I've never really had a feature leave my system before, or at least one that I stayed in control of, so this has all been very new and educational.
Okay, question (or, rather, a confirmation) for final steps - they are sending me the following next week, for me to keep or for import back into Premiere for trailer cutting, still pulling, festival DVD making, etc. I just want to make sure this list is sufficient.

I guess my main question is - will the 422 suffice for a high quality trailer and DVDs? They also offered to make an even-more-compressed H264, but if I can inport the ProRes Quicktime, that doesn't seem necessary, does it?
Thanks!
