OT: .htaccess files on a Mac
Can anyone tell me what steps you followed to get .htaccess
files with
mod-rewrite rules to work on a Mac? I'm using the MAMP
package, but I
decided to stick with Apple's default Apache installation,
since my
virtual hosts work with it but not with MAMP's Apache
version.
One reference directed me to uncomment the following lines in
httpd.conf...
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
AddModule mod_rewrite.c
AccessFilename .htaccess
...and change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" in
both the
httpd.conf and /private/etc/httpd/users/MyName.conf files.
I did all of that, with two exceptions. I never exactly found
the first
line; the closest thing to it is this, which I left
uncommented:
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/httpd/mod_rewrite.so
Also, I can't change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride
All" in
/private/etc/httpd/users/MyName.conf because it kills my
virtual hosts.
Thanks for any tips.

What is your reason to change these Hidden System files and folder to Non Hidden. IMHO it is a very foolish thing to do. Using ther T Command you were given displays all of them and if for some reason that command doesn't then use this one.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true (Replace true with false to turn off
killall Finder to implement either)
So with them displayed changing the hidden attribute may only cause you troubles.

Mod Rewrite & .htaccess File on a Mac (Leopard)
I just copied all my websites over from my PC to my Mac and
discovered
that my .htaccess files (originally created in Notepad)
vanished...or
have simply become invisible. So what program do most people
use to
create .htaccess files on a Mac? Do I need to track down my
Notepad
version and delete it, or do they actually disappear on a
Mac?
Also, I've read that mod rewrite doesn't work a Mac unless
you enable
it. Actually, I assume that isn't true for Leopard, as I
checked several
pages on my CMS, and they seemed to be working.
Still, I'm wondering what other surprises might be in store
for me. Can
anyone else who has migrated their websites from a PC to a
Mac tell me
what obstacles you ran into?
I recently upgraded to Leopard and MAMP Pro and just
installed Adobe
Creative Suite, Web Premium.
Thanks.Thanks.

.htaccess Files Invisible on a Mac
Sorry if this is kinda sorta a repeat question. I asked about
it some
time ago, but I'm in the dark again, so let me start from
scratch.
When I switched to a Mac and imported my websites from my PC,
I ran into
problems with my .htaccess files, which were originally
created with
Notepad. The problem is that the files are invisible - at
least in
certain circumstances.
At the moment, I can see my .htaccess files with Dreamweaver
locally,
though I have to use another program to open them. That's no
problem.
However, when I switch to remote view, I can't see my
.htaccess files. I
need to access an .htaccess file on one of my sites so I can
download
it. What's the trick for viewing an .htaccess file online
with a Mac?
Also, what Mac-based programs can be used to create more user
friendly
.htaccess files? Could I do it with TextEdit or Open Office?

TextWrangler works locally, but I'd also like to be able to
view my
.htaccess files online.
I just tried an FTP program - Fetch. With it, I can view my
.htaccess
file online, though I haven't yet figure out how to download
it. That
is, I can download it, but I'm not sure what location it's
being located
to; I haven't been able to find it yet.
I need to find a split-screen FTP program that lets you
download files
from an online site to a specific local site.

.htaccess file invisible online (with a Mac)
After I upgraded to a Mac, I had some minor problems working
with the
.htaccess files I imported from my PC. (They were created
with Notepad.)
I thought I had everything squared away, but I just
discovered that I
can't see my .htaccess files in remote view.
I can see them locally, though Dreamweaver won't open them; I
open them
with TextEdit instead. But they're invisible online.
Is there some way to make them visible in Dreamweaver in
remote view, or
do I have to find some ftp client that will recognize them?
Thanks.

Hi
I'm trying to get rid of all the rogue characters on my site, which are apparent once published, but not when I publish to a local folder. I understand from previous topics, that I need to set up a .htaccess file, with something like this in it: AddCharset UTF-8 .html, so that browsers read the data correctly with Unicode (UTF-8).
There is no .htaccess file in my folder on the FTP site, so I need to create one. Using Cyberduck, I can create the file fine, but then I need to put the data in the file, that's when I run into problems. Downloading the file, I can edit it in text edit, but then if I try and save a file as .htaccess it becomes invisible and I can't upload it to the server.
Many thanks,
Ant
G5 2GHz dual, PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)yes I've seen that link and I've checked the ftp settings. They're all as they're supposed to be. (i.e. charter encoding - UTF 8 and Default Transfer Mode - Binery). These are the characters I'm getting:
Final Cut Pro HD. Â
Livetype. Â
Motion. Â
Soundtrack Pro.
Â
With large digital storage facilities, we can work on-line right from the word go. Â
Â
Weâ€
I know that if, in Safari, I go View>text encoding>Unicode (UTF-8) that solves it. So I'm trying to get all viewers of the site to be able to see Unicode. I've read the previous posts and they directed me towards the .htaccess file - unfortunately that's the bit I can't crack.
Sorry - not really up on web design - a real novice. Have to say thought iWeb does make it easy to get stuff up quickly!

Hello.
Is there an easy way to include a .htaccess file so that only authorized users can have access to a page created with iWeb '08 (on a non-.Mac server)? I know I can do this after the site is uploaded to the server, by manually going into the uploaded site and dropping in the file in the appropriate directory, but I would like to do this automatically.
On another note, is there a way to include a file that starts with a . (i.e., a hidden file) in iWeb '08? Even when I can "see" hidden files in Finder I cannot "see" them via iWeb '08.
Thanks for any thoughts,
KenNo, you must manually add the .htaccess file to your server space, and there is no way to somehow include such files in iWeb.

.htaccess files with MAMP + ORIGINAL Apache installation
I installed MAMP on my MacBook Pro, and it set up phpMyAdmin quite nicely, but everything else has been a disaster. Though I can't connect to my databases with Dreamweaver, so I have to link to my online database. Similarly, working with MAMP's Apache installation kills my virtual hosts - and troubleshooting that is WAY over my head.
So I'd like to emulate other MAMP users who have decided to stick with the original Apache installation. My big goal is to simply get my .htaccess files with mod-rewrite rules to work.
According to this article...
http://rexselin.wordpress.com/2006/07/28/making-mod-rewrite-and-htaccess-work-on -mac-os-x/
....htaccess files don't work on Mac's unless you do the following:
1) Open the httpd.conf file and uncomment these three lines:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
#AddModule mod_rewrite.c
#AccessFilename .htaccess
The 2nd and 3rd lines were already uncommented. The closest I found to the first line was the following, which was also uncommented:
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/httpd/mod_rewrite.so
I left it alone.
2) Change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" in both the httpd.conf and /private/etc/httpd/users/MyName.conf files.
I did this in my httpd.conf file, but if I do it in MyName.conf, it kills my virtual hosts.
3) Restart Apache.
Can anyone tell me what to do next? I copied some code from my Apache error logs below, in case it includes any tips. However, most of the more recent errors were probably logged when I was using MAMP's Apache program, so it might be worthless.
Thanks!

It just goes in the remote site root folder i.e., might be named 'htdocs', 'public' or something like that but where you would upload your index.html file to.
There should be a period before the htaccess i.e., .htaccess but NO ext .txt (However you might want to upload the file first and then amend its name as inserting the period will most likely result in it disappearing from your desktop. It does if your using a Mac anyway, not sure about a PC. -

My HP Photosmart 5510 won't scan photos to file on my Mac running Yosemite
I keep getting an error message that the scan failed every time I try to scan a photo. I've downloaded the latest driver via the Apple App Store. I've restarted both computer and printer. Help!
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi @JaneCat,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot scan photos from your HP Photosmart 5510 to a file on your Mac running Yosemite. I am sorry to hear this, but I am happy to help!
I would recommend downloading the full feature software and drivers from our website, HP Photosmart 5510 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers, as it is compatible with Mac OS X Yosemite.
If you are still having issues, I would also recommend this scanning guide, A 'No computer found' Message Displays during Scanning. Then follow the steps for the section that says it is for, Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, OS X v10.7 Lion, OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion, or OS X v10.9 Mavericks. As these steps will still work on Mac OS X Yosemite.
I would also see this how to scan guide, Scanning with the Full Feature HP Software in OS X v10.10 Yosemite.
Hope this information is helpful, and thank you for posting!

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's. -
my windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.
All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files. -
Move a big file from a mac system to a windows 8 laptop usb usb flash drive
Hello i am using a 32 gb flash drive to copy a 10gb file from mac os x to my flash drive. Then i want to insert that flash drive to my windows 8 pc and store it there.
I cant use a network connection to transfer files because i dont have a ethernet cable or an network connection yet. So i must use a smart procedure for making my mac communicate with my pc at home. I cant use any other types of sharing methods except for a usb flash drive. So i know that the mac cannot detect NTFS filesystems and i cant use FAT32 even though mac recognizes it because FAT 32 is unable to store large files abotu 10GB of size. Now i have to use i think ext3 or ext4 or also HFS but when i successfully copy the file from mac to flash drive then insert it into my pc, the windows 8 OS will not detect the windows pc because i dont think windows is made to detect these filesystems by default.
So i have tried using, HFS explorer and ext2/ext3/ext4 volume manager and ext2exploer or GPARTED live cd's latest version's copy and paste functions but they seem to not work propely and there is a problem, i cannot see any flash drive in HFS explorer even though my drive is formatted as hfs.
So i need a program that can detect HFS or ext3/4 formatted flash drives and is able to copy a file from there straight to my windows 8 NTFS hard drive or a folder in it.
I have checked my firewall settings and defense settings. I am the administrator of my pc and i have even removed the windows password and the mac one but still i get lots of issus JUST to copy a file between a pc and a mac. Remmember that i have to copy files FROM a mac system running snow leopard to my windows 8 pc not the OTHER WAY were i have to copy from the windows to a mac.
Please tell me as much as possable about software out there and tell me software that costs money. I am able to buy any good software for doing this.
Thanks in advance.
raghavTake the flash drive to the PC and format it as exFAT.
