"Open file location" option from the search window replaces the search window to open the file location

After searching for some files, when I right click on any file from the search window and click "open file location", the file location is opened in the same search window there by detroying my search. In Vista this option would open the file location in a separate window. This is really annoying if I want to open locations of several files from the search window.

The more thorough explanation of how to do this is right-click the item then CTRL-Left Click "Open file Location". This will open it in a new window.
I agree that Microsoft makes unnecessary changes to the operating system which cause it to behave less productively. The search is an important part of an operating system and Microsoft managed to make it the worst part.
Bring back the XP search option. I'm very sad so see this terribly executed search is still the norm in Windows 8.
To put it bluntly, I don't use Windows by choice, it's my job to deal with it.

Removing file transfer options from client GUI.

How do you remove all of the file transfer options from the client GUI (the button, the right-click menu option, etc.)?

You can add <argument>allow_attachments=false</argument> in /var/opt/SUNwbsvr7/https:<hostname>/webapps/<hostname>im/en/im.jnlp file
to disable file transfer options from the Client GUI.
Or else if your using AM with IM then you can disable by setting the proper policy for DefaultUser through amconsole.

A popular option seems to be DropBox.

I am trying to open up my iTunes from my Mac. It says "You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac." What do I do?

I am trying to open up my iTunes from my iMac. It says "You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac." What do I do? I've already force closed all other apps.

Well, obviously the problem isn't with the other apps, it's with the type of Mac you have. What type of Mac do you have?

I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

I would use Parallels or VMWare and use the second drive to hold the virtual machine. That way the VM only uses the space that it needs and you can still use the remainder of the drive for other things, not to mention that you would not need to reboot to run windows.
Also Time Machine does not back up a boot camp partition.

HT1296 I have a question about transferring files, photos etc, from my ipad air to my PC Windows XP and visa versa

I want to know how to transfer files between my ipad air and my pc Windows XP. I know I can't use icloud because my windows is XP, but there must be some easy way, I hope to transfer files back and forth. If you know of a way or an app, is it user friendly?

The way that you can transfer apps can vary depending upon the apps themselves. Many apps use iOS file sharing with iTunes. Read about file sharing here.
iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
Some people use DropBox to move photos, videos and other files back and forth.
Dropbox - Dropbox for iPad
There are apps that will move files back and forth using USB and WiFi.
File Manager - Folder Plus on the App Store on iTunes
And of course files can be transferred via email.

The cost of replaceing a cracked glass face through the Apple Store

What the you know what APPLE!
I accidentally dropped my iPhone in my driveway yesterday, only to pick it up and discover that the face had been cracked. So I figure know big deal, surely this can't cost that much to get replaced, after all it is the most susceptible thing to break on this phone with a LARGE GLASS SCREEN ON THE FRONT OF IT!
So, I stroll into my local Apple store and speak with one of the technical service reps on the floor who informs me that the replacement price for the glass is going to be $199. With sticker shock, I said $199! Your kidding me right! That's what I paid to buy the phone.
So, then I asked, how long the repair usually takes? The person tells me about 15 minutes. This makes me even more upset!
My question is how can Apple, fully knowing that this is probably going to be the number one hardware claim on this device, try to charge the consumer $200 for a thin piece of glass! It didn't even cost me that much to get a new windshield for my car!!!
Come on people, think, think!!!
I will not be buying another iPhone until they can come up with something a little more durable, maybe a plastic screen that doesn't crack! I think you need to go back to the drawing board boys and girls, or at least come up with a more reasonable price for glass replacement.

How do I migrate my extensive ipad files and apps from my old iMac to my new windows machine?

I had to go to a windows machine. All of my stuff, apps, books, music, pictures, etc. is on my iMac. Is there any way to gracefully move the information from the iMac to the windows machine? It's about 60 GB.

If all your data is on your iTunes library, follow the steps of this site to transfer your library to a PC with an external disk > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751 You have to do the "Restoring your iTunes Library backup" step on your PC.
Apart from that, if you have got more data you want to transfer, you can put it in the external disk, too. You must do this because there isn't an app to migrate files from a Mac to the PC

I recently lost access to external hard drive connected to my iMac (no icon visible). My iTunes and iPhoto files are accessed from this drive. I can't seem to get the time machine to restore these two. that drive was NOT excluded from time machine backup

Hi.
help! recently I noticed the external drive icon missing from my desktop...the one with my huge itunes and iphoto libraries. I tried several things but couln't get it back. So I tried to restore to an older date in time machine with no success. I'm sure the drive was not set for exclusion from the backups. Any thoughts as to where i'm going wrong? I was under the impression that external drives were also backed up with time machine...am I delusional?

Frequently doing a SMC reset will help this issue, for directions please click the iMac SMC and PRAM reset link. Also check the obvious such as cables and connections. Or it's even possible the EHD has failed, they can and do.

Search and replace data in excel using a text file

Hi Scripting Guy:
I was able to write a script based on all the examples in your blogs, but now I'm stuck:
I have a text file, which has Server Name, IP Address, Comments
ABCserver1, 1.1.1.1, remote web server
DEFserver2, 2.2.2.2, remote app server
XYZserver3, 3.3.3.3, remote api server
I have a excel file which has Server Name, IP Address, Protocol, Port. Server Name, and IP Addreess can repeat itself more than once in entire spreadsheet at any location:
Server1, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
Server2, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
Server3, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
My script search for the excel spreadsheet for a array that I have defined [Server1,Server2,Server3,...], once the first value matches in spreadsheet it replaces all values of Server1 with first value in text file i.e: ABCServer1 so my new excel sheet looks
this:
ABCserver1, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
DEFserver2, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
XYZserver3, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
What I also want is, when I replaces the "Server1" value in spreadsheet, it will also replace the IP Address in next column. This is where I'm stuck I can replace the value of Server Name, but I can't replace the IP address for text file. Remember
"Server1" can be found at any place in spreadsheet but it will always have IP address column next to it.
So this is what script will do if runs correctly:
1) Read text file:
ABCserver1, 1.1.1.1, remote web server
DEFserver2, 2.2.2.2, remote app server
XYZserver3, 3.3.3.3, remote api server
2) Before script run on excel sheet
Server1, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
Server2, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
Server3, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
3) After script run on excel sheet
ABCserver1, 1.1.1.1, TCP, 80
DEFserver2, 2.2.2.2, TCP, 80
XYZserver3, 3.3.3.3, TCP, 80
If you will see my script is able to replace "Server Name" in entire spreadsheet, but can't copy or replace the corespondent IP address in next column.
script:
$text = "Server1","Server2","Server3"
$replace=$replace = get-content C:\script\test.txt | foreach{ ($_.split(","))[0]}
$File = "C:\script\test.xlsx"
$now = [datetime]::now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
#$now = get-date -Format "MM-dd-yyyy_hh:mm:ss"
copy-Item C:\script\test.xlsx test_$now.xlsx
# Setup Excel, open $File and set the the first worksheet
$i=0
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Excel.visible = $true
$Workbook = $Excel.workbooks.open($file)
$Worksheets = $Workbooks.worksheets
$Worksheet = $Workbook.Worksheets.Item(1)
$Range = $Worksheet.UsedRange
Foreach($SearchString in $text){
if ($Range.find("$SearchString")) {
$Range.replace($SearchString,$replace[$i])
else {$i++}
$WorkBook.Save()
$WorkBook.Close()
[void]$excel.quit()
Really appreciate your help
Thanks

Hey, thanks for helping me out. I checked online and I had to call Cells this way:
$Workbook.Worksheets.Item(1).Cells.item($cell.Row,$cell.Column+1)=$test[$i].replace
one problem I'm having is if the $server value repeats itself in excel sheet again it doesn't replace all values for lets see server 1:
so thats how my excel sheet is:
server1
x
TCP
80
server2
x
TCP
80
server3
x
TCP
80
server1
x
TCP
80
when I run the script thats how results looks:
server1
x
TCP
80
REM88888SQL301A
10.1.1.2
TCP
80
REM88888SQL301B
10.1.1.3
TCP
80
REM88888SQL301
10.1.1.1
TCP
80
It skipped the line one on excel and changed value in line 4. As I mentioned above this can repeat $server can repeat itself anywhere in spreadsheet in multiple columns.
What can we do so it will replace all server name and IP address?
Thanks

Search and replace YYYYMMDD to DD-MM-YYYY (in file)

I have a problem with date formatting. There is a mismatch between my banks .csv file and the standard of iBank...
I would like to make an AppleScript (or Automator/AppleScript) app which search .csv file for strings "YYYYMMDD" and replaced it with "DD-MM-YYYY", but frankly I am not an AppleScript star There is a line of the .csv file below.
"NL000BANK0000000000";"EUR";"20130101";"C";"100.00";"NL000BANK0000000000";"";"20 130102";"";"";"Accountholder";"Transactionnote";"";"";"";"";"";"";""
Does anybody can help me with it?

You could run the following in an Automator "Run Shell Scrpt" (or Applescript)
awk '
        while( match($0,/\"[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\"/) ) {
            date = substr($0,RSTART+1,8)
            year = substr(date,1,4)
            month = substr(date,5,2)
            day = substr(date,7,2)
            new = day "-" month "-" year
            if ( month+0 >= 1 && month+0 <= 12 &&
                 day+0   >= 1 && day+0   <= 31 &&
                 year+0 != 0                  ) {
                sub(date,new,$0)
        print
' $1 >$HOME/new_$1
You would change the "Pass input:" to "as arguments" which will populate $1 with the file you drag and drop onto the Automator app you create.
The script will create a new file in your home folder with "new_" in front of the name from the file you dragged and dropped onto the automator app you create.

HT2476 I recently had the hard drive replaced on my Macbook Pro; now the app store icon is missing from my dock

When my hard drive was replaced by Apple, I had to re-install iTunes myself. Then I noticed that there was a question mark on my dock where the App Store Icon was supposed to be. I did a software update, and now the question mark is gone. How do I get the App Store Icon back on my dock?

Locate it in the Apps folder and drag it to the dock.

For the ipod nano replacement program, can I just bring the iPod into an Apple store near me and do the exchange there?

Just wondering if this is a possibility, because I think it'd be easier that way.

Call the apple tech support line printed in your manual. They may be able to walk you through some troubleshooting. If they can't fix the problem, they can book you an appointment at your apple store. I just went through this yesterday.

Firefox 4.01 downloads files but the downloads windows greys out the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options and I can't trace the files

Three days ago I upgraded to Firefox 4.01. I downloaded several files that were ok. Yesterday and today I downloaded one powerpoint file and a an apple *.dmg file.
On the Download window these two files I can see with the total mb in size. However when I right click the file list in the Download window the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options are greyed out. What is more I cannot find these files anywhere on my computer when I use Windows Explorer to search.
It seems that this happened after I tried to download a Firefox add on from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/64761/amazonassist-0.7.2.6-fx.xpi and my antivirus picked up the JS/Kryptik.AK trojan and terminated the connection. Is there a link with the problem I am experiencing?
I use Windows 7 professional, Firefox 4.01

You're welcome
