Opening files from an open app

When im in an open app, like final cut pro for example, if i go to file/open the browser window opens but when i go into desktop, or users etc etc no files show so i cant exactly open anything.
Ive had the same issue with uploading an image to facebook. When i click browse to select my photo, there is nothing in the finder window.
This is strating to get a little frustrating! anyone else having this issue?

Open Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences, delete com.apple.finder.plist, go to  > Force Quit and restart Finder

How do i move files from my dropbox app to my music app on my ipad?

You can't.
You have to add them from DropBox to iTunes on your computer and then sync them to your iPad

Accessing Excel 2007-file from BO Explorer App

Hello all,
I have a problem when trying to access excel 2007-files in an InfoSpace ( XI 3.1 SP2) from the iPad with the BO Explorer App.
Accessing this file from the Browser is no problem and accessing the same file saved as excel 2003 is also no problem from the IPad.
Anybody an idea what could be the problem? I have to save some files with excel 2007 because number of rows.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Christian
Additional hint: Always the following error message appears:
It is not possible to retrieve the facets within the Explore tab.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:Character reference "&#26" is an invalid XML character.
Any idea? Thanks!

I do now see that you are correct: there is a difference between Excel 2007 and Excel 2010. Your particular usage is somewhat unusual and there probably isn't anything you can do, except to recognise that you are a beneficiary
of it (although others may be less fortunate).
The type of protection that you are applying protects the workbook against certain types of change; it does not prevent people opening it, and they do not need a password to open it, so, in a sense, it does not need to be
encrypted. In Excel 2007 (and Excel 2003 before it), the workbook was, nonetheless, encrypted, and in Excel 2010 it isn't.
This change means that someone can remove the protection outside Excel (just by deleting that single line of XML), something that couldn't be done before so it is a loss of security.
I'm a Word person, rather than Excel, and I don't know all the details of the different types of 'protection' that can be applied to Workbooks and Sheets.
I have, however, not seen anything about this before and will ask some Excel friends if they know anything. Beyond that I don't think I can help any more.
Enjoy,

How do I attach multiple files from the pages app to my email

I'm trying to attach multiple documents from the "Pages" app to my email. I'm using an ipad. It is only letting me attach one at a time and send each document as individual emails. I would like to be able to send one email with all 4 documents at the same time. Any suggestions?
Another thought- When I go to my gmail app to compose an email, I have the following to send:
to:
cc:
subject:
But there is not a paperclip to click to attach any documents either. Is this all connected and something in my ipad settings needs to be adjusted?

You can only attach one file at a time to email in the Pages app
You cannot attach files in the mail app. If you want to email a file, you do it from within the app where the file is saved such as what you did with Pages.

How to copy files from an iPad app to your computer?

I thought I'd post this since the online help leaves out a step and this might be confusing to other users as well.
To export a file from the iPad to your computer, you need to first "Export" the file (at least in Pages you need to). To do this you:
1. Select *My Documents* in the upper left (if you're in the file on the iPad)
2. Select the Transfer icon at the bottom of the screen
3. Select Export
4. Select the *File Format* you want
5. Go to *iTunes > Apps > File Sharing* (at the bottom of the page)
6. Select your *App (Pages)* -- +You may need to re-select this. The first time I copied the file (even after the above) it still copied the old file (weird). Re-selecting refreshes the file list on the right. You can check the date stamp of the file as well.+
7. *Drag and drop the file* to your desktop from iTunes (this is the step the online help describes, but it leaves out the export step above.
I hope this helps...
+(A note to Apple: You should make file sharing easier. Maybe move the function to the tools menu in all your apps. I'd suggest this is where people expect Export, Mail, and Print functions to be...)+

How to deploy a war file from a different app server to the SAP one

Hello,
I hve recieved a war file from Tomcat that needs to be deployed on the SAP Java App server. As far as I know the SDM only allows to deploy ear files. How can I deploy this war to the app server?

Hi Roy,
in order to deploy the WAR file you have to wrap an EAR around it. I had the same problem.
You can do this using Netweaver Developer studio.
Perform the following steps:
- Start NWDS
- Create a New Enterprise Application Project
- Create a New Web Module Project (name it like your war file => e.g. your war file is called myApp.war => call your Web Module myApp)
- Edit the application.xml of your Enterprise App if necessary (description, Displayname etc.)
- Link your Web Archive to your application archive (right Mouse click on Application Archive and from the Context Menu choose "Add Modules" => In the list choose your Web Module)
=> You can also perform a right mouse click on your web Module and from the context menu choose "Add to EAR Project" => In the list choose your Enterprise Application!
- Build Web Archive (right mouse click on your Web Module and from the context menu choose "Build Web Archive" => This will create a war file that has the same name as your war file! => If you do not see it try to switch to resource perspective!)
- Build Application archive (right mouse click on Application archive => from the context menu choose "Build Application Archive")
You are done
The EAR file is generated and will be created in your workspace.
Now browse to your workspace. Unpack the EAR using WinZip or any other Archiver program.
Replace the contained war with your war and repack the ear file (You can also use tools like Total Commander to directly replace the war file in the EAR with your war without having to unpack the war). You can also import your war into NWDS and rebuild it so you won't have to replace the WAR in the EAR but as your WAR is already built I would just replace it as described!
You can now deploy the ear file to SAP J2EE
Hope this helps (Reward points for helpful answers are appreciated!)
Cheers

Does Setup Assistant transfer files from unused deleted apps to the new HD?

I just purchased a new Macbook pro and want to use setup assistant to transfer the data from my older Macbook Pro. Does setup assistant copy ALL files on the old hard drive? Specifically old hidden files from programs I have deleted.

Pardon me? I think your comment is messing up. First, you have any important tip to try to help G540516? This is not a forum for argue between collaborating people. CleanMyMac it's an awarded app with 5 stars by MacWorld among other, it's an excellent app for cleaning your mac, specially with 3rd party apps without propper uninstallers.
Also the recommendation of this app was because G540516 have leftovers in the old machine, which he don't want to transfer. So I give an advice of how can use an app to avoid those leftovers.
I've 20+ years using Mac OS, I will never recommend some crappy soft. Anyway it was a recommendation. You are not pointing anything concrete, just your opinion. Please form now on try respect the people who help others.

Backing up audio files from music production apps onto sd card

Hi,
I was considering buying a new 128gb iPad Air, however I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative for my concern, I want to back up my audio files from BM2 onto an usb card via a camera connection kit from an iPad 3 32gb, it would be great if I could also read from it, especially two things in one go, I could use an SD card to store my audio files, and read into BM2, and also free the usb connector for a keyboard. I plan to start performing live and have produced more than 450 tracks, but I want each set to be unique, with different parts of different tracks playing via BM2 also with live keyboard performances routing through Audiobus. I find that like the next level compared to Djaying already produced tracks, also if I progress I could also manage a few live sessions while performing, via Samplr by recording samples from what's playing in output or sessions on other music apps which might not be Audiobus compatible, like iMPC, please could you give us this option to move audio files from device to SD card or usb to transfer onto a computer to back up, in case internet is very weak, or would Apple not allow it? I mainly produce on Intua Beatmaker and have been producing since 2009, I have a sound cloud account www.soundcloud.com/a-submitter, and a website www.asubmitter.com. Please since my internet connection is really bad, as though NSA are tampering with it or Sky are curtailing it, I cannot move bulk folders or files which I highlight via Filezilla, and sometimes moving one file takes ages working as low as 90kbps, when I have a fibre optical internet line from Sky, and it is supposed to be 8mbs upload and 15mbs download, my computer is a mac mini 2012, the latest, but not the highest spec, but still the internet performs as though it's ten years ago.
Thanks
Kash

The camera connection kit can only be used to copy photos/videos to the iPad's Videos app. If you want to leave feedback for Apple (these are user-to-user forums) then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Uploading and downloading files from a web app (Urgent!!)

Hi everyone:
I'm developing an application in PL/SQL to upload and download files from an HTML webpage. I congured the document table and the parameters necessary in the DAD of my application.
when I upload the file using my webpage that file info is automatically uploaded to the doc table. This is as far as I have gotten.
I need to do the following:
- Place the uploaded file into a column in another table in my database as part of a text message (think of it as an email message), and delete the file from the doc table (as this is thought to be a temp table that holds the file when uploaded from my webpage)
- Retreive the file so that it can be downloaded from another web page.
The file can be a PDF, WORD DOC, etc...
I now that I can do this with InterMedia but I haven't figured out how :(
Can anyone please point me to an example or some documentation that can guide me through the process.
DB VERSION: 8.1.7
IAS VERSION: 1.0.2.2
Thanks,
Carlos Abarca

The idea was for you to look at the code and get an idea of how to access the BLOB in the document table. IF you look at the procedure
insert_new_photo( new_description IN VARCHAR2,
new_location IN VARCHAR,
new_photo IN VARCHAR2 )
It shows how to access the blob that is stored in the document table. You can then copy this blob to your own table using the DBMS_LOB package.
Hope this helps,
Larry

Yosemite: can no longer rename files from within any apps?

mavericks (and earlier versions of os x) allowed renaming filenames from within any app.
this cannot be done in yosemite; is this correct (anyone please confirm)? or is this still a mac os x feature that got turned off during my updating somehow?
if no longer available, is there a workaround to this extremely useful workflow tool?

bump.
anyone?

Executing class files from a Java App dynamically

Hi!, Is there any way i can execute java .class files from my Java Application dynamically. I know that java uses Dynamic method Invocation. Is that true of class files generated using some other language compiled for the JVM.
In my case i would like to make a Web browser that interprets HTML and also java applets embeded in them. I would like to use the JRE of the platform execute the applets for me rather than writing the code for my Browser to interpret the class files.
Thanks in Advance.

You just need a custom class loader to bring these applets into your JVM.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Security/Fundamentals/magercises/URLClassLoader/index.html
Then you can use the methods of java.lang.Class to create an instance of such a class. As soon as you have it, you can just treat it as a regular Applet and invoke init(), stop() etc. appropriately.
If you want to execute anything else than conventional Applets, you might consider reflection to find out about methods implemented:

Opening a file from a java app (not applet)

My program can't find the text file I'm trying to open in my stand-alone java app. I am specifying it like this:
File filename = new File("myfile.txt");
FileReader = new FileReader(filename);
It is in the same directly as the class files. It won't find it when it's in a jar file either. I had a similar problem with an applet a lont time ago, but that turned out to be a security issue, which I assume normal apps don't have.
So, what's up with this?

If system become larger, there are duplicated files
can be found in different directories.
Using classpath may cause problem, if there are
duplicated file name.
If you are coding, you should know exact location of
the file to be opened.
"system become larger" - huh? You control the classpath on a per-app basis, not one huge monolithic classpath containing all jars/folders for all apps.
It's common, well-designed practice to use the classpath. It's bad practice to hard-code directory names and expect all deployments of the app to follow the same directory naming convention. I wouldn't want you to dictate to me where to put the file on my hard drive. I should be able to install it anywhere I want, and let it find it (via the classpath, in this instance).

I accidentally removed some ms office files from macbook through app cleaner . now they are in trash . how to restore them as some applications are not opening

i just downloaded appscleaner from net and accidentally removed some of the ms office files like database utility , entourage ,etc. now when i open word, excel , it shows some message . how to restore the files. i tried by dragging them to the desktop but don't know how to reinstall them at original place.

Dragging them to desktop was not a good idea. Now you need to know where they came from.
For any still in the Trash right-click on the file and select "put back" from the context menu.
What version of Office, and what are the file names? We may be able to help you trace where they should be.

How can I open files from a mobile app?

I've got a mobile app developed in 4.6. Part of our app includes the ability to store files on our remote servers which users can access. In its simplest form the app displays a list of the files which the user can then click on to open. I tried throwing a navigateToURL which works - although it's ugly as hell. It opens the browser which then throws it to the os. Again, it works, but I know there's got to be a better way.
Files will include PDF, images (jpg, tiff, etc), and Word and Excel docs.
Any suggestions? TIA

Mavericks is the Operating System (OSX).
LibreOffice [free] may be able to open your AppleWorks files but probably not perfectly.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them.
