My terminal path/name is showing up as unknown

I changed my computer name to a single word when I first got this mbp (first one, got it a few days ago). It seemed fine but I've installed a few apps (mvim, simbl, tried to install visor) and for whatever reason, my terminal is now showing up as unknown + mac address.
I'm not sure how to go about fixing it or if there is even a fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

That is a reflection of what your DHCP server wants your host name to be. Most people just set a custom prompt that keeps the name you want.

File Path Name

Microsoft Word 2010: How do I view the the entire file path name. We run on a network and need to see the entire document name in the Quick Access Toolbar.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
If you want to see the entire file path of a Microsoft Word 2010 file which stored on a network. We at least have places where you can check this info:
1.Click File on the ribbon to go to Info page, check the
file path under file name in the upper left corner.
2.Add the file path to the Headers and footers:
1) Open the headers and footers for editing.
2) Under the Header and Footer Tool tab, Click Quick Parts.
3) Select Field in the drop-down list.
4) Select FileName in the list of Field names.
5) Check the checkbox of Add path to filename.
6) Click OK. The entire file path name will show in the header of the document.
We might not be able to add this to the Quick Access Toolbar easily as it's not a built-in command of Word 2010.
Thanks,

Need to find a Path Name.

How to find the path name for the top down in Mac. I'm use to using Windows. Plus I'm new to Mac.

The easiest is select the file, then Finder -> File -> Get Info, and you will see the path specified under General -> Where: /somthing/or/other/filename
You can also enable the Finder -> View -> Show Path Bar, which will display the path for any selected file at the bottom of the Finder window.
If you have an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session running, you can drag any file from the Finder to a Terminal window and the full path to the file will be pasted into the Terminal window.
If you use Spotlight to find a file, you can hover the cursor over the file in the Spotlight list, and press the Command key. The path to the file will appear at the bottom of the popup box that appears to the left of the Spotlight list.
If you download the 3rd party Control Panel "Secrets"
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27025/secrets>
You can set System Preferences -> Secrets -> Finder -> Show Path in Title Bar
You will need to restart the Finder after making this change (Secrets has a button that will do this)
NOTE: Do NOT got crazy with changing things with Secrets, as you may create a situation where you are not sure what you did or why Mac OS X does not behave like everyone else's
You can issue the following command from an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool true
killall Finder
which will also show the folder path in the Finder window title bar. Change true to false if you wish to reverse the setting (or use Secrets).

How to use path names for library filter?

Hi all,
I have been looking for a way to use the library filter functionality to show only images in a particular folder (or subfolder thereof). From the help pages [http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSAB7B303E-081D-4617-BF47-B4B8D3D49CC3.htm l] I found that the image path is included when you filter using 'any searchable field'.
However, I do not seem to be able to use a full path name, just the individual directory names. To give an example, I can locate files in c:\data\photos using 'contains all: c data photos', but this will also select images in 'c:\data\someotherproject\photos'. I have tried all combinations of slashes and backslashes, but have found no solution to this problem. Does anyone know what the internal representation for the path name is, and if it's possible to search for it?
Just to pre-empt the obvious answer: I know that you can simply click on a folder to show its contents. However, using the filter bar would be a more permanent selection of a working directory, which remains when you click on a collection, for example.
Thanks.
Simon

Sorry, I could have been clearer.
What I'm trying to achieve is the following. My computer contains photos by myself, my wife and others, organised in three main folders. Having them in separate catalogs isn't convenient, because we often have photos of the same event (outings, holidays). However, most of the time I only want to work on my photos, and my wife wants to work on hers. A directory filter would be a good and fool-proof way of doing things. I am currently using a special keyword to do this, but I must remember to apply the correct keyword when importing.
Adding a folder as a favorite only works to select that folder in its entirety. What I would like to do is to have a 'master' folder selected and then use Lightroom as I normally would (select folders, collections, etc) Filtering by path name would enable me to do just that - and it does, except that there are false positives due to not being able to enter a full path name.
A smart collection has the same problem: the 'Folder' rule doesn't seem to support paths. And even if it did, it's not possible to select two collections with a logical 'and' operator, unless you make a new smart collection for each possibility.
My current keyword workaround is functional, but slightly error-prone. And in any case, if 'any searchable field' includes the file path, it stands to reason that there should be a way to match that with the entire path. The documentation isn't clear about this, so I hope that anyone can shed some light on this.

How to get the full path name of a file

Hey everybody, I'm new here and in Java.
so I will explain my question by giving an example:
I want to send file from the Desktop by the "Send to" on the popup menu to my program.
I want to know how can I read the full path name and the file name, and show it on my text box.
Thanx alot

If this is a client side application then I'd say look into drag-n-drop tutorials.
i.e. drag file to your application, action listener fires, create File object giving you full name and path of users action.
If this is a web application then look into the "multipart/form-data" content type specifications on how to upload files.
i.e. user specifies file from <input type='file' ... /> type, submits, servlet receives data and recreates file locally on application server side.
If you are thinking that all you need to send a file to a program is the full path and name in a textbox its a little bit more complicated then that.
Good luck, hope that helps!

How do I hide the file names/path names of embedded images in a PDF document?

I created a PDF document from a Word document, and the problem is that the PDF document shows the file names and path names for all of the embedded images in the PDF document. I don't want that information displayed. I don't want to send the PDF out to clients and have them read the names I've assigned to those images, plus it looks messy. And I've lost many of the original image files so they only exist in the Word document, thus I can't go back and rename them. I searched the internet for an answer but I couldn't find one anywhere.

When you create a tagged (accessible) PDF file from Word, placed bitmap images will use their filename as the "ALT text" if you don't define something else for the text to say, because an image without any ALT text is a failure against the accessibility standards. You can't change that default action, so you should put your own meaningful text into the ALT field for each image - which is what you should be doing anyway if the PDF is standards-compliant.
You can can set the text in Word, but it depends on your version as to where the dialogs are - Google for it - or you can change/delete it in Acrobat using the tags navigation pane on the left side of the window (right-click the sidebar if it's not visible). Drill down through the tags structure to find the "<Figure>" tag you want to change, right-click and choose Properties, then put something in the "Alternative text" field. This process isn't something you can easily automate, but if you don't need tags at all, you can save without tags (or print to PDF).

Reading in from File w/out path name

Does anyone know why netbeans requires an entire path name to read from a file? I am trying to read from a file and I want the program to just look in the directory that the jar file is in to find the file to read from. I do not want the file to be IN the jar file, just inside that directory...

As I understand it, when your code runs, it does not run relative to the folder that the jar file that contains it exists in. If you want to know where the code is running from in order to use relative path instead of absolute path, put this in your code and examine the output it generates:
File file =new File("");
System.out.println( file.getAbsolutePath() );
Example: if the print out shows your code is running in:
c:/ dir1 /dir2 / dir3
and your file is in
c: / dir2 /dirN / myFile.txt
then your relative path would be:
../dirN/myFile.txt
where starting from c:/ dir1 /dir2 / dir3, ../ means go one folder level "up" (to c:/ dir2 ), and dirN/ means from there, go down into the folder dirN (which would be c: / dir2 /dirN )

There is a missing letter of Path name or file name when vivado SDK linking object files

I used vivado SDK 2014.3 to complie the third source code and could get *.o files. But when linking them, there was an error to show that No such file or directory. I found that there was lack of letter in path name of object file. It's a SDK bug or I don't set up correctly?
Thank you for an early answer.

I tried it in vivado SDK 2015.1, but there was still the same problem. And I found that it was successful if only importing a small part of source code. What is the reason for this situation?

InDesign Links / Path Name change on Mac

We have 5 Mac users on a windows domain using Adobe CC. They are placing images in to files as links. They are continually getting the "This document contains a link to a source..." error. The one commong thing I can find is that when looking at the path name in the links pane that it changes from user to user.
User one inserts link from a network drive that is properly mapped. Path shows (example) /Shared/Communications/Logos/Image1.jpg
User two or three opens the same indesign file and gets the link source error. Path shows /Volumes/Shared-1/Communications/Logos/Image1.jpg
This was not happening in prior versions of InDesign. While I can't rule out a network or user issue, it's odd that the path name changes. I checked the /Volumes/ folder and no duplicate names of the drives exist. I have no idea why the path name is being modified when another user opens the file.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You should package you InDesign document. Use the packeged document. New files linked later after packagen copy to the Link folder, you can do it from the link panel with the command Copy links to, in German it is in a sub menu of Hilgfsprogramme, should be something like Help Programs, I don't know the exactly naming of that menu in the US version.

How can I paste the full path name into the find file dialog?

I've copied a full path name using CMD-C.
Now I click on a link in some web page (does not matter which one) which lets me upload a file.
The standard apple file selector dialog pops up (sorry don't know the official apple name for this dialog), to let me navigate and select the file.
How can I paste the file name? Or how can I tell the dialog popup to navigate to the file whose full path name is in the clipboard?

Here is an image showing the file browser dialog I'm referring to.

Bursting Problem - A file or directory in the path name does not exist

Where do you suggest setting the temp directory:
DocumentProcessor("control.xml","data.xml","/u02/DIAS/bursting/BIPublisher/tmp/042308_104249338/xdo2.tmp")
or in the xdo.cfg:

..and thanks for the link to the BIPublisherIDE

HT1451 Why do the song names and cd name not show up on the IPod Shuffle?

Why do the song names and cd name not show up on the Shuffle?

Err this is no longer April 1st you know.
The iPod Shuffle has never had a 'display' on which track names can be shown. See http://www.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/ if you want an iPod which does have a display on which you can see the tracks names and even the album cover art then look instead at the bigger and more expensive iPod Nano http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/ or iPod Touch http://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/
PS. The current iPod Shuffle even though it has no display on which it can show the track names can read them out loud to you using a voice-synthesiser this is the VoiceOver feature described on the iPod Shuffle product page I listed above.

I've moved my Aperture library to another computer, and masters are referencing an old path name. How can I update these references? Reloctating masters does not work in this case :(

I've moved my Aperture library from one computer to another using Finder.
I merged the library with one which was already on the computer.
Now, the photos I imported have reference to the old path name on my old computer.
How can I update these references as "Relocate Masters" does not work in this case?

Just one suggestion to be able to reconnect all at once:
Create a smart album containing the images with missing masters:
File -> New -> Smart Album, and add a rule: File Status is "Missing" (or File Status is "offline")
Then select the images in this album and go to the File menu:
and select: File -> Locate referenced File
If you are lucky, Aperture will reconnect all at once, if you point the first image version to its counterpart.

How do I stop my iWeb site folder name from showing in the URL?

I have looked through the forum but cannot find exactly what I need.
I am sure there is a way to stop this from happening but I do not want my iWeb site name to show in the URL. Anyone else had this problem that can spread some light on the situation?
Here is how it is showing:
www.ilovehopetown.com/ILove_Hope_Town/The_Ultimate_Guide_To_HopeTown.html
I want to to just be www.ilovehopetown.com and then the page name.
Any help will be appreciated.
Rob

What happens if I leave Site name blank?
Try it and see.
If you are using iWeb 09, the right forum to ask things in is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1309
Two options you could try are naming your site the same as the default folder used by your sever (e.g. public_http or whatever) or forwarding www.myname.com to www.myname.com/sitename
