Newb question: How do I access the files on my usb disk?

I'm new to Mac, and have my airport extreme set up with my usb disk conntected, and set for file sharing. But how to I access the files that I already had backed up to my disk? Like pictures and videos and stuff that I want to use on my new Mac. I know it has to be something simple I'm just not doing, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

in finder, click on the icon of the airdisk under the shared header, wait for the connection to be established (you may need to enter your admin password), then click on the folder representing the external drive connected to your extreme.
that should cause the drive to mount on your desktop after which you can access the files on the drive.

How can we access the file/directory system in the server

Hi friends,
I have made a text editor attached with an audio player for my project.
Both text editor and audio player are implemented in applet and put in to a
jsp page using jsp:plugin. Text editor and player are separate applets running
in the same page and from same server.A client who is using this editor may
want to save the edited text files to the server as well as hear audio files from
directories in the server.
My question is how can we access the file/directory system in the server
like we do in the local machine.When the user cliks save or openfromserver button
in the editor, folder/files in the server must be displayed as we do with FileChooser.
I am using Apache Tomcat 5,wiindows 2000 server, jdk1.5.

You can't access it directly. But your applet can make net connections to the server, and the server can provide that kind of functionality. Generally this is easiest by making HTTP connections and having the server provide the functionality via the web server. (So in your case, JSPs or servlets on the server would list/deliver/create/modify/delete files, and the applets would invoke those JSPs and servlets.

How can I access the files on my time capsule?

I bought this thinking it could be used as additional storage, like a hard drive only wirelessly. It appears to be functioning as backup but I don't know how to access the files to see if it actually is. Any advice? When I click on time machine in the finder it just takes me to a folder that says Data with no entry for date modified. Yet elsewhere it tells me it has been backing up every half hour or so. Whats the deal?

You do not access the backup file store directly.. you access it via Time Machine.. the files are not stored in a way you would directly access anyway.. all files are stored as a backup in a very complex structure.
Read Q14-17 on how to use restore to get files out of the TM backup.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
If you want to access files on the TC, copy them directly to the TC .. don't use backups as a method of access to other devices.

TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

Newbie stuck - how do I change the file type of a photo I am formatting from a TIFF to a JPG?

I am new to Aperture and struggling to figure out some of the basics, even with the tutorials. I need to submit a photo for an art competition - the master is a TIFF and I need a JPG under 1.8 MB - how do I change the new version's file type and keep it with the master?
Thank you in advance.

I can't recommend the method proposed by Carolyn Samit; in fact, I recommend ignoring it.
Aperture is large, complex, and can take some time to learn to use. It is also quite powerful, and can handle nearly all -- or all -- common tasks you throw at it.
I have written a very short guide to Aperture which was intended to provide some firm footing for those getting started. I humbly suggest that you start with a quick review.
One of the things that presents a bit of disorientation for new users is that, in practice, Aperture keeps your pictures in a kind of limbo. There are good reasons for this -- suffice it for now to accept that you import image-format digital files into Aperture, you use Aperture to organize and optimize these as Images, and then when need a file to use outside of Aperture, you export you Image. It is at export that you format your Image: you select the file type, the compression amount, the file name, the file size, and more.
In your case, then, you will export your Version, and set the file type to TIFF (recommended above JGP whenever quality is paramount). There is no way to know the file size in bytes prior to creating it. Start with a full-size TIFF and, if necessary, knock it down by percentage until the exported file is less than 1.8 MB.
There is no reason to attempt to keep this file with the Image in Aperture. Send it on its way. Any time you need another file from your Image, you can create it fresh via "File→Export→Version".
HTH. If it doesn't, ask more.

World's easiest Acrobat 9 Pro question: how do I save the file & bookmark order of source?

I am creating a PDF from a bunch of HTML files.
Each time I do so I have to order the files in the Create PDF dialog.
When I make minor changes to the file order I have to recreate the file list again.
I would like a way to save the order of the input source files separate from the PDF itself, sort of like Premiere's nondestructive editing feature that lets you order film clips, then render the film from the original clips.
Similarly I would like to "render" a PDF file from a list of source files & bookmarks, and edit that list from time to time.
How can I save a description of the document with the source files and preferably the bookmarks in order, so I can just edit the file list each time I create the PDF?

There is a suggestion on how to create a list of files at the following URL:
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=15372
Once you have your master list of files in PDF you can use the replace pages command to save all your bookmarks.
Also, you'll find quite a few sample batch sequences dealing with bookmarks at:

I can't see the files on my USB disk

I know there are about 250 million threads about airport USB disk problems, but I can't see one with my specific drama.
I can connect, see the drive (its a LaCie 250GB) and move stuff to it via the airport. The problem is that I cant see the files once they are on the LaCie. The finder window will start to show each folder but after about 1 second all the folders dissapear and the finder says "0 items, 91.38 GB available".
Obviously the computer is reading the drive as it knows how much space is on there, and it can write to the drive - it just wont display the folders. If I connect using a USB cable then all is well, so its just the ***** airport!
Someone please help, I'm going mad!

The disk sharing utility creates separate folders which are not visible when connected to the AEBS, but are when directly connected via USB to your computer:
"Shared" > for all mainly shared files and folders
"[Username]" > for all user related files and folders when you use account to access your disks through the AEBS via Airport.
So if you first connect your disk directly to your PC, make sure you copy your files to the "Shared" directory (and not directly in the root), and if you did not connect the disk to the AEBS before, or the "Shared" directory does not exist, make this folder yourself.
Goodluck!

Newbie question: How do I set the input for a series of audio recordings to be different, if I only have a 2 channel interface?

I am using a 2 channel interface (Apogee Duet) and I can record a voice and guitar track fine. My question is how do I record a third audio track after the fact? It seems when I attempt to record an additional track, say bass for example, Logic treats it as though it is on input 1 or 2 (which hardware wise it is of course) and merges them in a sense. I don't know how to make it a seperate independant track, despite the fact that it was recorded through an input that I also used to record something else on a diferent track.
Thanks in advance, I very much appreciate any help.

Thanks for the response. I know it sounds ridiculously basic. Yes I am creating a new track and selecting it. The third track appears in the arrange window, but changes to, for example, the third track affect the 1st. Doesn't matter if it's a 1/4 inch guitar or XLR mic. Yes I'm listening to the headphone output from the Duet.
I think the fundamental problem is my not understanding something about mono/stereo, or prehaps input and output settings. I just can't seem to find the appropriate controls/settings.

Newbie question: how do you reset the router; in plain English please

I need some help in plain English please. The router stopped working and maybe just needs a reset. I tried reading http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ios-nx-os-software/ios-software-releases-123-mainline/46509-factory-default.html, but I don't understand the first thing. It's a Linksys E2500. Is this even the right forum?

You are reading a Nexus IOS guide. Nexus is a carrier grade switch so don't mind that. Try this instead.

How to access the file in the WEB-INF Folder

hi..
i want to access a xml file, using servlet, which is placed under WEB-INF folder.
Please tell me how can i access the file.
I am using WSAD to develop the application
Thanx in advance.

I haven't tried accessing an XML file that is placed in WEB-INF folder.
Files under WEB-INF are usually protected from client/browser access, but a Servlet may be able to access it (not sure though).
What problems are you facing when you try to access an XML file in the WEB-INF folder?
If you can't access it from the WEB-INF folder , place it in any folder except the WEB-INF folder.
Also, if you want to protect the XML file then you could password protect it or deny access to it via .htaccess file, or simply return a 403 forbidden header.

JAAS: How can I access the JAAS subject in an EJB?

Hello,
I try to understand the JAAS integration in J2EE 1.3.
I know:
J2EE defines a role-based container managed authorization for the web and ejb container. Roles, users and their relationship are defined in the realm.
JAAS has a more sophisticated policy-based authorisation model. Since J2EE1.3 I can define a realm using JAAS having the role-based authorization of the container managed security.
My question:
How can I access the JAAS subject object in an EJB or servlet to use the policy-based authorization?
Thank you for your answers
Peter

May be I should redefine my question:
If I use JAAS as J2EE-Realm, how can I receive the subject?
All JAAS-Tutorials contains code fragments like
LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("entryFoo");
    try {
        // authenticate the Subject
        lc.login();
        System.out.println("authentication successful");
        // get the authenticated Subject
        Subject subject = lc.getSubject();But if I use JAAS as J2EE-Realm the container creates the LoginContext.
Whom can I ask for the subject now?
There is no such method implemented in the EJBContext, the HttpServlet or HttpServletRequest!

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

Hey Fabrizio,
You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
Do you get the 'download' prompt?
Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab.
Please try the same using a different browser and check.
Hope to hear from you.
Regards,
Anubha

I used a partitioned HDD for time machine, using a partition already containing other data files. I am now no longer able to view that partition in Finder. Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files?

Yes, sharing a TM disk is a bad idea, and disks are cheap enough so that you don't need to.

I have purchased Adobe XI Pro and created a form for entering bowling scores to submit to newspaper for my high school team. I can not figure out how to get pdf's into my documents folder on my iPad so that I can access the files in bowling alleys where I do not have a Wi-Fi connections. I need to be able access files without going to acrobat.com. Help!!!@

Post the PDF files to a web site. The browse to them in Safari on the iPad. When you Open the files specify the Open to occur in Adobe Reader. Then you can have/Save them in your Documents folder on the iPad. An iPad has limited access to files otherwise.
