Need help finding a hidden file

I then discovered that phpMyAdmin doesn't work.
Towards the end of the discussion, someone wrote, "WordPress had put a .htaccess file in the root level of my hard drive.
"So in order, if you want to delete this file, you got to activate "hidden files viewing" in the terminal by typing this
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
and this
killall Finder
"After, you go in the computer root and this should be there, now delete it and to get all this crap working again as it should had…"
I'm confused. I typed all that into Terminal, and it doesn't display anything. In another post, someone mentioned a program called TinkerTool. I downloaded it, but I don't know what to do next. How do I navigate to the root level of my hard drive and find a file and delete a file named .htaccess?
Thanks.

Download and run the free application TinkerTool (not "TinkerTool System"), select the Finder tab, and check the box labeled Show hidden and system files. Then click Relaunch Finder.

Need help finding moved image files

How would I find files after they have been moved? I travel and use a MB Pro laptop. The workflow I'm using is to download images to my desktop, review, rate and add keywords immediately. I make 2 backups, 1 to portable data store hard drive and one to DVD. Then every few days I erase the desktop image files. When I arrive home I download the entire trip's images from the portable storage to my desktop drives (2 500Gb SATA drives).
Is there an easy way to direct Aperture to look for the files in the new location? Or, failing that, is there a better way to work? I regularly have 40 - 60 Gb of images after a trip and the laptop hard drive is inadequate for the task.

The question isn't really clear to me yet. If you know what "the new location" is, then it's easy to make Aperture point to it. But that may not be the question. I think you may need to describe your workflow in more detail.
You don't say how to review etc images on the MBP. If you're using Aperture, it must be with a library. Are you using Managed images there? So is the problem how to transfer data -- images and edits and metadata -- from the library on the MBP to the library (with referenced images??) on the desktop?
Synchronizing libraries is not something Apple makes easy or offers any real help with. The best way to do it turns out to be to export one project at a time, connect to the other machine and its library, and import the projects. (In the process you might also Relocate images to make them referenced.)
But your note about the laptop drive being to small is confusing. I don't see where your images are when you're on the road.

Need help finding the prefs files

Hello!
I don't have Airtunes Express, nor any experience of it. Still, I'm trying to put together a small utility that will let you change speakers remotely. It's almost done, but lacks one important function: the ability to choose speakers by name. I figure this info is stored locally in some prefs file, so my question is: can some tell me the path to it and perhaps post the contents of the file(s) here (or e-mail it to me)? Thanks a lot in advance.

I need help finding photos just downloaded to Lightroom...they only show up in "previous downloads" and not in a folder in my pictures

I need help finding phots just downloaded to lightroom...they only show up in "prevoious downloads" and not in a folder in my pictures. what can I do to correct this?

Also, please be aware that Lightroom is not a file browser like your operating system Finder or Explorer is. If the photos are not in the folder you expected them to be in, it is because you (accidentally) imported them into a different folder.

Hi,
You may need to design the site again in older version OR may be copy and paste in place from new to old except what is new in the latest version.
Hope that helps!
Kind Regards,

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
1 sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.

HT1349 I need help finding an old library that itunes states my ipod is already linked to

I need help finding an old library that it states my ipod is already linked to. My computer recently had a terrible virus and needed to be wiped clean. I had to redownload itunes and I bought several songs. I want to add them to my old library because I had several cd's that I had uploaded. Is there a way to find that old library and combine them without having to erase all the songs that are currently on my ipod??? Thanks

Umm. If you wiped the hard drive, then all old libraries are gone unless you have them on backup.

Need help finding a driver for my hp webcam . My computer say I dont have a camera but I do.

Need help finding my camera[webcam] on my computor.

Can you provide us with your computer model number? Take a look in Device Manager to see if there is an Imaging Devices group that includes the webcam. If not, is there an Unknown Device listed? This would indicate that your webcam is detected, but there is no driver installed. We can help you find the correct driver if that is the case. Let's start with the computer model number. Thanks.
I am an HP employee. The opinions expressed are my own and not those of HP.

I need to find a working file for the Adobe Download assistant?

i need to find a working file for the Adobe Download assistant?

I was going to recommend Brother becasue they held OS9 support longer than just about anyone, but their current printers are now supported back to Mac OS10.3 to 10.4, depending on printer model.
If you can do with a b/w laser, the recently discontinued HL5250DN is very nice and OS9 drivers are still up on Brother support site (just checked). We have that model networked at home and its happily serving five Macs plus any visitors who bring their own computer.
This printer has been absolutely reliable and trouble-free. It has both USB and ethernet connectivity (I prefer the latter), does duplex (two-sided) printing, and 1200 dpi res. If you Google the model HL5250DN, you should turn up some of the model still in stock someplace.
If you need color, I'm at a loss for a recommendation there.
