  • How to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?

    Does anyone know how to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?
    Eudora, Foxmail and many other email programs allow you to simply click file attachment, open it, edit it, and FORWARD it to others.
    This is extremely difficult with Mail because it forces every single incoming file attachment to be READ-ONLY which means you are forced to re-save a copy in a folder then after editing it you need to spend time to fish it out of the folder, reattach it and then forward to others. It is a huge time wasting headache not to mention polluting your system with extra copies of files.
    Thanks

    I believe you are missing something. I'm not on my Mac right now but there should be a setting where to save attachments and also muiltiples at one time.

  • How to change file information in ADE?

    I am having trouble loading eBooks into ADE with missing book information. I would like the books to be searchable after they are input into my Nook, but when I load the books into ADE some of the information fields are blank (author, title, etc.). I don't see an "edit file info" button anywhere and when I change the file info in Explorer, it still imports incorrectly. How can I edit file information in ADE so my books can be easily searcheable in my Nook?

    Thank you for advice.
    I know that I can create epub files with fonts included in them.
    My question was- how to refer in the epub to external font file, that ADE would understand and display,
    doing that would let me keep overall file size of my book library significantly less, because I would not need to include same fonts in every book.
    I am able to do it on the devices, I am able to do it in Sony Reader Library, but PC version of Adobe Digital Editions does not work the same way. All I need is to  know where to put external fonts on my PC so that I could refer to them from inside the epub and that ADE would find and display them.
    Though I do appreciate the attention, I'd double the appreciation if you read the question before offering the answer.

  • Help??? Editing file information

    I have 30GB of music files pretty much replicated on iPod & itunes. I have a heap of free time at work (offshore) to update and add new data (info) to my tunes. Currently, everything has only a artist & genre applied. I would like to do my master update (add year, album etc) and apply to mirror iTunes at home.
    I have 3rd party (idump) software but lookiing for tips on the best way to upload the edited file information without it adding new tracks to itunes.
    Hope this makes sense? In a nut shell, my question is - will the added data once uploaded to itunes overwrite existing files or will i need to delete files from itunes first and replace with same files/new metadata

    i gathered all my tracks from various sources and purposely removed most CDDB information to ensure basic data was correct. the goal has then been to add back in but unfortunately my itunes is on a PC 1000 miles away.
    For example: Right now my database looks like: Title - Let It Be/ Artist - The Beatles/ Genre - The Beatles
    Now I want to add back in album titles and years etc manually (comments & album artist etc)

  • How to edit files directly from server?

    I'm new to dreamweaver (CS5) and I'm really lost when it comes to editing files directly in remote servers.
    When you add a new site, you have to select a Local Site Folder. I dont mind that html editor saves auto backups to my computer, but I really dont want to download files from the server, edit them and upload them back to the server. In my work I always edit files directly over SFTP servers.
    After spending time configuring DW, I can now connect to the remote server, edit a file and save it to the server (I know that really the files are automatically downloaded to my pc and sent back when saved). The only problem with this is that everytime I open a file from server, I get this annoying prompt "Do you wish to overwrite your local copy of [FILE]?"
    How can I disable this for good, or is the dreamweaver just not the right tool to edit files directly from servers?

    Again, if you are doing it the easy way, you don't download files from the server to edit them.
    Always edit local files. Then upload them.
    When you open Dreamweaver, your Files panel should be showing Local View, NOT Remote View. That way you are working with local files.
    The way you're doing it here's what happens:
    1. You doubleclick a file in the Files panel (Remote View)
    2. Dreamweaver connects to your server and MUST download the file and related content (because the software IS NOT installed on the server and you CANNOT edit there)
    3. When the file is downloaded, Dreamweaver asks if you wish to overwrite the local file because when you save it before putting the file back, your OS will not allow two files of the same name in the same location and the file MUST be saved before you can put it back.
    4. You then put the file to the server, overwriting the original file.
    All of that can be avoided by simply opening THE LOCAL FILE and editing it. Then you put it to the server, and overwrite the original with the edited file.
    "What if someone else modifies a file on the server after I saved it, when I open and edit a local file, wont I just replace it when I upload it?"
    If multiple people have access to the same files on the server, you NEED to have collaboration software so that when a change is made it can be saved by EVERYONE who has access to the site. Something like LiveCycle.
    Without that your site will be a mess in no time because six different people (or more) will have six different copies of six different sites locally and they will all be working on it at the same time and it will end up like a Three Stooges movie where Larry, Curly and Moe are all cooking dinner and each adds the same ingredients at different times.

  • How to edit "license information for multiple logon" screen

    hey gurus
    i need to know how to edit or modify the 'license information for multiple logon" screen. this screen usually pops up when a user tries for a multiple logon to sap. We have activated the parameter 'login/disable_multi_gui_login' but we would like to modify the screen in such a way that only one radio button which says 'terminate this logon' should exist. we would prefer to remove the option of 'continue with this option and end any other logon'. Now i searched but i could not find anything to implement this so i am here and i need your advice and suggestions.
    thanks in advance.
    cheers.
    nate

    hey bernhard
    many thanks for your reply..i appreciate your help. its just that its not explicitly mentioned we cant modify the screen in the note.
    Is there any other note that specifically say so?
    thanks for your time buddy.

  • Png type not recognized in widget - how to edit file type?

    Dear all,
    I almost got crazy these last hours as a nice widget I am working on suddenly refused to work.
    I now understand the source of the problem: the file type of the PNG background image is not "Portable Network Graphics Image" but "Adobe Photoshop PNG".
    This causes the widget to refuse to load, apparently.
    I can not find a way to edit this (even FileInfo does not propose PNG?)... or to make photoshop produce a generic PNG.
    Has anybody encountered this problem and/or has an idea on how to solve it?
    I can not imagine that there is no way in mac os x to edit the inner properties of the file..
    THANKS for any hint,
    Olivier.

    Hi
    I think there's a similar issue in Fireworks, where the native file format appears to be an extended form of PNG. In Fireworks, there's a file export command, which enables you to create a separate copy of the file in PNG (or any other) format whilst retaining the extended PNG for the master version of the file. I'm not a Photoshop user but I would look to see if there's an "export" command, and I would use it to create a separate PNG version of the file, in the hope that this does not have any of the extensions.

  • Question about how Mac OS X stores file information for iMovie and iPhoto

    I'm relatively new to Macs (am using a 3yr old iMac and a new MBA running 10.6.4 and iLife 11) and I have this general question.
    I'm using the iMac for a lot of Movie projects and photos. I've very quickly filled up my 500Gb hard drive and I don't understand why other than this:
    I import a movie using iMovie and it's stored in an Events folder. I then make a project and it's stored in an Projects folder, I then share it to iTunes and it's stored in the iTunes Music/Movies folder. And I also see the movie in an iMovie Shared folder. In other words, it appears that a 2Gb movie (as an axample) becomes about 10Gb because it's saved in multiple places. Must I keep all of them?!
    With iPhotos, I've imported about 6Gb of photos from my Windows PC. No problem. I copied across all the directories and then imported them into iPhoto. I then thought I could delete all the directories as the iPhoto folder became 24Gb in size! Not sure how but it seems that as well as keeping my original 6Gb of photo directories it's also put them into the iPhoto directory and somehow made it a big folder size?! If I delete the original folders (since they're now in the iPhoto app folder) then I can't actually browse the JPGs files can I except from within iPhoto only?
    I've got about 80Gb of music, about 6Gb of photos and about 80Gb of movies. Somehow it's pretty much filled up 500Gb of hard drive (and very little other programs or files other than the normal iMac stuff it comes with) because of the way the Mac (iTunes, iMovie and iPhoto) seems to have the same thing copied everywhere.
    All input greatfully receive and apologies if I'm being thick.
    Richard.

    Richard
    I'll answer the iPhoto part for you.
    If you use iPhoto in its default setting then the images are copied into the Library on import. Yes you can now delete the directories you have copied over.
    then I can't actually browse the JPGs files can I except from within iPhoto only?
    Yes and no...
    The point of iPhoto is that it's your Photo Manager. It's the "go-to" app when you want to do anything with your Photos. - View them, edit them, email them, print them, use them in other apps, upload them whatever - all of these things are done from iPhoto.
    There are two advantages to working this way.
    1. You get to work with your Photos and don't have to think about files. This means the organisation possibilities are much greater than just files in folders. You can use Keywording, Smart Searching, Albums, Events and a plethora of other bases for categorising and therefore find your pics.
    2. iPhoto is integrated throughout the entire OS. That means your Library is available throughout the OS without iPhoto being open by means of Media Browsers. You can search your Library from a MEdia Browser and so on.
    So, while, yes, the files are not browsable via the Finder, there's no need to. Everything you need to do can be done with iPhoto.
    Want to edit the pics in something other than iPhoto:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How to edit file 'Title' in 'Get Info' (More Info)

    Hi, I hope this makes sense!
    I have several MP3 Audio files saved to my music file in places. When I use the 'Get Info' function the files have a Title. Is there a way to edit this Title. I can see that the 'name & extension' can be edited but when I import into itunes it is the title that is shown.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the replies K T & V.K.
    I can also drop the file into itunes and click on 'name' to change it. What I really want to do is as follows;
    The music files all have the same 'title' but different 'name & extension'
    When dropped into itunes this application uses it's title as it's name, therefore all files would have the same name in itunes!
    Before putting the file into itunes if I can re-title these files it would save me loads of time.
    Thanks again.

  • Removed hard drive from fried Mac, how to remove files?

    My G5 died, officially.  Would need to spend too much $$ to fix it, so we bit the bullet and got new technology, iMac 21.5"....love it!  The only problem is that in the turmoil of trying to get the old Mac to work, we asked the tech guy to just remove the hard drive and we would have the files removed.  He mentioned some kind of case with a USB hook up that will show it as another drive and we can just copy/move the files. Is that just an external drive?  Can't remember what he told us exactly and can't contact him currently.
    Any advice would be appreciated. Bobbie

    SATA enclosure.  Better with Firewire than USB, especially FW800, as the transfer rates are significantly higher with FW800. 
    Toaster (drive dock) is a nice solution, as it allows you to easily swap bare drives.  An example from OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/NewerTech/Voyager/Hard_Drive_Dock   The FW800 capable unit is the better choice, IMHO.  With a dock, you can then store drives in a nice ESD case from Wiebe Tech like these: http://www.wiebetech.com/products/cases.php
    Standalone enclosure: an example from Acomdata: http://www.acomdata.com/p-262-samba-quad-interface-external-enclosure.aspx which is falling in price still.
    The Quad units support eSata, which is a nice option in any event.

  • How to edit file description on the General tab of File Properties.

     I have several files that are rather cryptically named.  I want to put a more human friendly description in the Description field inthe Properties/General tab but am unable to access it.    It seems to get automatically populated with
    the name of the file, which is not helpful at all. 
    Is there a way to do this? 
    thanks,

    Hi,
    I just make a supplement, to add more description details to a file, you can refer to the screenshot below:
