Need help creating folders and files in Pathfinder

Hi, I have tried the Pathfinder forum but it's a ghost town over there. I don't know if this is a PF or Finder issue yet.
I've just installed Pathfinder 5.2.2 on an iMac running OS 10.5.8 at my new job.
The problem is I can open files and folders from within Pathfinder but I can't create any new files or folders from within Pathfinder, and I also can't drag anything from the drop stack to a new location either. I've made sure to set permissions for read/write on my Mac HD and on the PF application itself, and I've repaired my permissions, and also run Cocktail, restarted the mac, quit PF etc. Still nothing.
Anything that could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kappy,
When I try to move a folder or file, or create one, nothing happens at all. It's as if I never did anything. I am able to open files from within Pathfinder and navigate my Hard Drive, but I cannot create or delete files.
I posted on their forum, which is what they suggest. I've used Pathfinder for several years, I have no questions on the actual interface, but I wonder if there might be a permissions issue on this particular mac.

Newbie needs help creating folders

Hi, just bought my first Mac yesterday! YEA!! I am trying to navigate my way around here, but have a question about folders in Mail.
I have been a PC user for MANY years and in my Outlook, I created folders to move messages to when they came from certain people or contained certain information. For example, I had a "financial" folder set up so that when any banking or other financial related information came in, the rule set up would move the message to that folder.
Of course, I am trying to do the same thing here and I can't seem to figure it out. Will someone help? I want to create the folder and then set up a rule to move those messages. Thank you so much!!

folders are called mailboxes in Mail. you can create them from Mailbox menu. you can also create a smart mailbox which is just a saved search.
you can make rules to automatically move incoming messages to certain mailboxes based in criteria you specify. that's done in mail preferences->rules.

File (photo) management. Need to create folders and sub-folders

1. How do I manage thousands of photos when I can't create sub-folders under folders?
2. How do I rename photos once they have been downloaded to Ipad?
3. How do I download all my photos on Idisk to the Ipad?
Is there an App to help with this? I am stunned this expensive device doesn't seem to have basic file management capabilities.
Thank you for any direction you can provide.

There a a few apps that will help with this (I have yet to try them).

Need help creating folders

I would like to have a folder called '2012' and inside it another folder called 'January' and inside it several folders titled with events like 'Mom birthday' or 'Dad birthday'. Can this be done in iPhoto? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Absolutely
But remember in iPhoto folders hold albums or other folders - albums hold photos
FIle menu create folder - name it 2012
Then create albums (at least I think that is what you want) for each catagory and put the appropriate photos in it - drag the albums to the folder

Need Help Creating Sound and Subtitle Setup Menu Scripts

Can someone point me to a tutorial or assist me with completing this menu:
http://www.aviewofyou.tv/mule/setupmenu.jpg
Basically, the user gets to pick their audio in stereo or 5.1 as well as whether or not the want to see the subtitles. So it would be cool to set it up so that that after they pick, say, Surround Sound, the script tells the DVD to play the 5.1 track and then places them on the Play Concert button. Same for stereo and subtitles.

That's easier than you think, and it does not involve scripting.
Audio section:
Cllick on a stereo mix button in menu editor. Go to Inspector and chose Audio stream that contains Stereo mix. Set button target to Subtitles off button.
Do the same for 5.1 mix.
Subtitles section
Click on Subtitles off button. In the Inspector select an empty subtitles stream (32 for example) and set button target to Play Concert button
For Subtitles on button select the true subtitle stream and click "SHOW" box. Set button's target to Play Concert button.
That's all there is to it.

How to create a folder with standard contained folders and files in SharePoint 2013?

I've got folders and files on my SharePoint 2013 site that form a template when I add a new folder for a customer. When I create a new folder for a customer, I want those folders and files added automaticly to that new folder. How can I do that?

How would I go about doing this without Visual Studio? Is that possible? Need to create Folder templates.
Every "new folder" created should have nested folders already included.
Company Name (New Folder 1)
Company Documents (1.01)
Tax Documents (1.02)
Bank Statements (1.03)
Extreme novice, please give as much details as possible! I'm trying to implement SP 2013 without all the 2013 software (Visual Studios, SharePoint Designer, etc.)
Thank you!

Need help creating a folder action for creating folders based on filenames.

I want to create a folder action that will monitor a folder and every time a file is added to the folder it will create a directory using the filename (minus the extension) and move the file the that directory

on run {input, parameters} -- create folders from file names and move
set output to {} -- this will be a list of the moved files
repeat with anItem in the input -- step through each item in the input
    set {theContainer, theName, theExtension} to (getTheNames from anItem)
    try
      set destination to (makeNewFolder for theName at theContainer)
      tell application "Finder"
        move anItem to destination
        set the end of the output to the result as alias -- success
      end tell
    on error errorMessage -- duplicate name, permissions, etc
      log errorMessage
      # handle errors if desired - just skip for now
    end try
end repeat
return the output -- pass on the results to following actions
end run
to getTheNames from someItem -- get a container, name, and extension from a file item
tell application "System Events" to tell disk item (someItem as text)
    set theContainer to the path of the container
    set {theName, theExtension} to {name, name extension}
end tell
if theExtension is not "" then
    set theName to text 1 thru -((count theExtension) + 2) of theName -- just the name part
    set theExtension to "." & theExtension
end if
return {theContainer, theName, theExtension}
end getTheNames
to makeNewFolder for theChild at theParent -- make a new child folder at the parent location if it doesn't already exist
set theParent to theParent as text
if theParent begins with "/" then set theParent to theParent as POSIX file as text
try
    return (theParent & theChild) as alias
on error errorMessage -- no folder
    log errorMessage
    tell application "Finder" to make new folder at theParent with properties {name:theChild}
    return the result as alias
end try
end makeNewFolder
This script almost does what I need except for the fact that it screws up on files with periods in them
for example
1.2.3.4.txt
will create the directorys 1, 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1.2.3.4

Need help on folders in thumbdrive, external harddisk become shortcut and original folder become hidden

hi
I would like to ask whether does Microsoft have a solution on this issue
need help on folders in thumbdrive, external harddisk become shortcut and original folder become hidden. and there will be a Recycler hidden folder, inside is a randomName.exe file(with a lady image as the program icon). Once the user click on the
shortcut of the folders, it will activate the .exe file and install onto Windows and with any pendrive, external harddisk plug to the infected machine all will be affected when plug to a clean machine and the cycle repeat itself.. by infect other
clean machine.
Please help as this is affecting my company of 400+ users! on window 7 pro x86 and x64
the problem is that we have a lot of pen drive, portable external harddisk using in the office..
thus is there 1 Microsoft patch to solve this issue once and for all... to prevent the autorun to activate?
Jaslena

the problem is that we have a lot of pen drive, portable external harddisk using in the office..
is there 1 Microsoft patch to solve this issue once and for all... to prevent the autorun to activate?
This is just because of infection is propagated.. As a result files are hidden.. attrib is great as it is suggested by S Guna . May be you can make a batch file or something like that? But there is a chance of reinfection if you don't clean your infected
systems as well as your pendrives..
Plug your infected flash drive and
Use one scanner at a time
Download hitman pro 3.7 (shareware and can be activated for 30 days free)and have a full system scan including your pendrive.. http://www.surfright.nl/en
And/or
use malwarebyte have a full system including your pendrivescan http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/
And/or
Use Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool downloaded from uninfected pc and transfer to you pc and install and have a full system scan
http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1
If everything fails, you can use offline bootable resccue cd and do a full system scan...
https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-defender-offline-faq
or hitman kickstart bootable pendrive
http://www.surfright.nl/en/kickstart
Then
(1)Check whether your files are hidden.. Most of the time files and folders are hidden as a result of pen drive malware infection..
It will change the attributes of the files/folders.
In that case u can use attrib command and
attrib -s -h -a -r
This is how it is used.. attrib method is common for windows

(2)If data is deleted you can try recuva.. freeware to recover data.

Help! Lost original folders and files and trying to update website with new information

I lost the original folders and files for my website. I have new files to upload to the site but when I synch, the website still shows the original files. How do I get rid of the old and replace with the updated website files?

1. Are you sure that you are uploading to the proper folder on the remote site?
(have to ask as some people don't realise that the files need to go into a specific folder as specified by their host).
2. Could it be a cache issue with the ISP, Sometiimes it take a while for new files to display if the old ones are still being cached at the ISP level.

How to recover lost folders and files - Pls help, help...

Some days ago I lost all of my 15 GB folders and files that stored in my Macbook Pro hard drive called DATA. I brought my Macbook pro to an experienced computer tecnicians who providing data recovery services. To his and my suprise, after checking, scanning it a few hours, he said their is no way to recover because he did not find any trails at all. The computer still seems working properly - I have no problem with any applications. There are few other folders in the DATA hard disk containing pictures, computer programs still remain. These lost folders and files contain mainly documents (word, excel, power point, pdf etc) which I accumulated in my many years working !!!!. I did not make a back up since last September partly because I think Mac is very safe.
The computer with me all the time on that day and only my son used Power Point to make a simple presentation on that evening - he can not save it on the folders the he normally use - All the folders and files are gone.
I will appreciate it very much if any of you can tell me what would be the possible causes and more importanly how to recover the lost folders and files. They are very very valuable to me.
Many thanks for your kind attention

First, did the data actually get deleted, or is it still there somewhere? Try searching the drive for some of the documents, perhaps it's all just in another folder on that drive.
If it's truly gone, it's impossible for us to say what might have happened to make it unrecoverable. Perhaps someone using the computer used Secure Empty Trash, or securely erased empty space on the hard drive. Perhaps it was overwritten by other stuff before you noticed. It's possible the hard drive is starting to fail, though this seems like an awfully specific problem for that to be the issue.
Or perhaps the tech you took the computer to didn't know what he was doing. Why not try recovering what you can on your own? See Recovering deleted files.
You should be aware that no computer is safe. All computers rely on hardware that may fail and software that can have bugs. You absolutely MUST maintain a good set of frequently-updated backups... no fewer than two full backups of anything you don't want to lose.

Having a hard time with permissions to create dir and files in www

Having a hard time getting permissions to create directories and files in www folder:
I followed the following guide here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … arch-linux and here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … arch-linux
So now I have a LEMP stack which runs fine and I have my root account secured and a new username "adriano". If I SFTP into the server using the username adriano, I am unable to create any files or directories. Trying to do a simple wordpress install doesn't work because I need to be able to create a folder for it, and a wp-config.php file. Both of which, like I mentioned, I do not have permissions to do. Yes, the username "adriano" has been added to the sudoers file via visudo.
I've never been very good at UNIX permissions so I was wondering if maybe someone can help me out?
Also, since I am using nginx it does not seem like I have a www-data group or user and my www folder is /usr/share/nginx/
Thank you,
AJ

No, no, you guys misunderstand me. I am not that much of an oblivious person. 95% of the time I understand EXACTLY what the code that I am copying and pasting does. And when I don't, I look into it further before executing said commands. I just tend to not remember commands so I google them, see examples, and then copy and paste them to avoid the busy work of typing out long strings. For example, it took me like 6 months to remember that to untar a .tar.gz file it was -xvfz.
But I digress. drcouzelis, I do have root access. It's my own VPS. However, I have always used shared hosting through different hosting providers and now that I got a VPS and have to do everything myself, I am a little bit lost.
I followed what wonderwoofy said and created a www-data group, added the adriano user to said group, and changed the owner of my http server root to www-data, and I SFTPed into the server again with filezilla and it still works perfectly. However, those "hordes of hackers" drcouzelis warned me about does not sound pleasant so I am really really really hoping one of you guys can tell me the next steps. Root login is disabled in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and I also changed the port to a random port I created. My web files are all served from /usr/share/nginx/ (there are different folders in there that correspond to different domains.) Now what I am wondering is that if user "adriano" is in the sudoers file as ALL=(ALL) ALL, doesn't that pretty make adriano the same as the root user? The reason why I am so worried about this is because I heard/read countless times that working through the root user is BADDDDDDDDDD and will bring evil and shame upon your life (not in those exact words) and that you should never work with it. Also, do I have to worry about anything dealing with groups and/or users and/or permissions when it comes to PHP? I have php-fpm installed.
I am willing to buy anyone who can help me out with this a beer or two and I will be forever in your debt.
Thank you,
AJ

I need to create .pst ext . file using java,whi will import in ms outlook

{color:#ff0000}*I need to create .PST extension file using java which will be able to import in ms outlook,and that .pst file will contain root folder (like Personal Folders) and inbox,sent mail*{color}
give me some hint It is essential task .we have to implement code in java

I'm using the thin drivers.
The answer to your question is no, you do not need to create a DSN to connect to Oracle. The Oracle thin driver is all that is required. Your code looks OK to me, I'm assuming that you xxx'd out the IP, and that you are using a real IP in the actual code.
The message you got back is pretty generic, but can indicate that the Oracle database listener isn't available. Perhaps the database is on a different port, or perhaps the listerner isn't running. Perhaps you have the IP address wrong.
So, to be very basic:
1) Can you ping the server you are trying to connect to? This makes sure you are using a valid IP address.
2) Can you connect to the Oracle server from an Oracle client? This makes sure the listener is running properly, and that you know the correct port number and login information (The port number could be in a local or server based TNS file, or available through an Oracle names server. You might try using the program tnsping if it is available on the client for validation.
3) If you can do 1 and 2, then be sure you are using the same connection parameters (server, port userid and password) that worked with 2.
4) Verify that you are using (pointing to) the correct set of Oracle classes for the thin connection. This can be tricky if you have different versions of Oracle on the client then on the server, but is documented on the Oracle website.
5) If everything checks out, you might want to verify that you are using the most recent versions of the thin drivers, including the Oracle patches.
Hope it helps - good luck,
Joel

How to move folders and files using UJFS

Hi guys,
I need to move from one environment to another the folders and files in the structure, cause the backup / restore (UJBR) doesn't move that part, now I need to know how to do it in the transaction UJFS . ( I'm using SAP BPC 7.5 NW Patch 8)
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Rodrigo

Thanks for your answer,
In this case, I'm going to move the files and folders from one server to another, so it's not the scenario you mentioned.

Packages I know are used to group procedures together. But why do we create packages when stored proc alone is sufficient.For the same reason there are units in Pascal. Libraries in C. It allows the encapsulation of functionality as a single entity with a public interface and a private implementation.
It is is standard as far as structured programming goes.
And a single stored procedure is far from sufficient. It cannot have private and public static variables for keeping state. It cannot present a comprehensive and flexible call interface to the caller. It does not support polymorphism. It cannot expose constants and user types. Etc.
