Phantom file deletion with RH6 and 7

We've been experiencing a situation where a writer working in
a project finishes their work, and when they close the project a
random file is deleted from inside that project silently, usually
not the file they were working on. We usually discover it a day or
so later after we do a complete build and the topic is listed in
our link checking routine or I find it by parsing all the projects
in SourceControl view.
I first noticed it before we migrated from RH6 to 7, but the
problem has reoccurred since migration.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas or steps I could
take to figure out why this is happening?
Thanks

Was the emergency records file deleted with the Mountain Lion operating system?

Was the emergency records file deleted with the Mountain Lion operating system?

It's a Quicken file & I was able to open same. Not used often & the copy in my documents wouldn't open, but it did in the Quicken app that's friendly with Mountain Lion. Learned something new today!

File deletion in root and subdirectories.

Greetings,
I have a question regarding Batch scripting. I am trying to create a system maintenancing script which removes .TMP and .BAK files from all of my drives both subdirectories and directories above. Let's say the Batch script would be placed into "Folder3"
in the following internal drive address "C:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4\Folder5". And I want the batch script to remove files from folders 4 and 5 as subdirectories but also to remove files from C: Drive and folders 1, 2, and of course 3 itself
but without removing folders. And I'd like to apply this method to all drives simultaneously without a human user personally moving the script via cut/copy and pasting from drive to drive. The other alternative which can come into consideration is to create
a Batch File with any address location on the internal drive and when running this Batch file it'll create additional Batch Files on specified (multiple) drives at the very root of drives in the drive address of C:\ for instance, and initializes the required
file deletion process. Some of the folders require my Administrator priviliges therefore I'd like to create a code within the script that ask for user permission and says "Yes" but without actually asking from me as the user to click "Ok"
or "Yes" when running the script itself or to fully bypass the firewall. I have created the other part of the coding for deleting specified superfluous file types and in what way it's just the sub and above-directory part of it that gives me a pause
to proceed. Any help is greatly welcome or pointers. If my request would seem cluttered please notify me of it and I'll try to simplify it down, although I hope I wasn't too confusing with the elaboration.
Thank you in advance, even for the consideration.
Kind Regards.

Pdf files print with horizontal and vertical lines

All of a sudden, today, when I print pdf files, they print with horizontal and vertical lines. I thaught it was the computer or printer. So I printed from another computer on the network, and printed to a different printer with the same result. It is not just that one pdf file either, I have tried multiple files. HELP. Does anyone have any ideas?

It is not clear how you are creating the files. It appears that they were created by Distiller from PS files that were created in some way. I also noted that you are using AA8.1.0. You may want to try to update (do all the updates in order) as a possible fix. It may be in the creation process also. Several packages will split large graphics into parts and create the image. I think this is a characteristic of OFFICE 2007 (docx) files - but I am not sure yet. Tell us how you created the files - step by step, including the scan.
If you have the original documents, why not simply print to the Adobe PDF printer. The result would be smaller and a lot cleaner.

Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
1st: iWeb media center
To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
2nd: Drag and Drop
I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

Jedi,
Perhaps you are right.
I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
TIA,
Narvon

File association with JWS and windows

Hi,
We are moving all our applications over to JWS from install anywhere. One final hurdle we have is the requirement to associate a file extension with a given JWS application.
e.g a double clicking a .foo file will launch JWS application MYJWSFooApp.
As install anywhere defines the install directory and exe file this is possible. Has anyone managed it with JWS ?
Thanks
Chris

Yes - you can do so with the new association feature in Java Web Start 1.5
Basically you specific the file ext and/or mime-type that you want to associate with in the jnlp file; and when javawebstart launch the application, it will prompt you to see if you want to create the association.
Refer to the JNLP spec changes in Java Web Start 1.5 for more details:
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr056/jnlp_spec.html#4756982
You can download J2SE 1.5-beta (which includes javawebstart) now and give it a try!

Problems with replace file name with starting and ending Bates number

When applying Bates numbers to a set of Acrobat pdf files I am unable to replace file names with the starting and ending Bates number. This is important
for me in a legal application.
The Bates numbers are applied to each page of each of file without any problem as required.
The Bates log file indicates that the files have been renamed as I wanted.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Professional 9 with the update to 9.1.9 and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (the last or current service pack)
In all other respects Adobe Acrobat 9 is running to my satisfaction.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
HRKExon

Thanks for asking the question, I hadn't heard of Bates numbers before and this gave me a chance to look up something new.
When I googled for ' bates number legal index ' I found this document:

Maybe that will help.

Delete with IN and EXISTS

Hi,
I was suggested by one of the oracle forums member
that
DELETE FROM PYMT_DTL WHERE CLM_CASE_NO IN
(SELECT CLM_CASE_NO FROM TEMP_ARCHIVE1 );
is same as
DELETE FROM PYMT_DTL WHERE EXISTS (SELECT CLM_CASE_NO FROM TEMP_ARCHIVE1);
I see rows only get deleted with 2nd query
if both queries are same why is not 1st query deleteing rows ?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
The two DELETE statements you posted are not the same.
DELETE FROM PYMT_DTL
WHERE EXISTS
        ( SELECT CLM_CASE_NO
          FROM TEMP_ARCHIVE1
        );will see if there is anything at all in the temp_archive1 table. If so, it will delete every row in pymt_dtl. If not, nothing will be deleted.
If you want to delete rows from pymt_dtl that have a matching row in temp_archive1, then you can use the first DELETE statement you posted, or this:
DELETE FROM pymt_dtl m
WHERE   EXISTS
        SELECT 0
        FROM    temp_archive1
        WHERE   clm_case_no = m.clm_case_no
        );

ACR Delete bug? Converted files deleted with originals!

Open ACR with a set of raw files.
Convert and saw in the same location.
Mark some/all of the originals for deletion.
Click Done.
Both the originals and the converted files are deleted. And contrary to the delete function mouse over description, they are not moved to the trash but deleted completely!
This is not nice behavior.

Hi Thomas,
I just did an experiment. I copied some raw files to a new directory on an external hard drive.
Opened them in ACR.
Converted/saved.
Waited for the save queue to complete.
Confirmed the jpgs were created in explorer.
Marked the still selected RAW files for deletion.
Clicked done.
About half of the JPGs are deleted, this time to the recycle bin.
I tried with different number of files, and couldn't determine the pattern of which were deleted.
If after converting I exit ACR. Then reopen and select the RAWs for deletion, the JPGs are not touched.
So, more data, but not much more sense. ACR is deleting just-converted JPG's, but not all of them, when it deletes the RAWs. If you work from a CF card, either ACR or XP is deleting not moving to the recycle bin.

Original RAW files deleted without warning and not retrievable from trash

I mistakenly deleted a bunch of stacked RAW originals from a web album, thinking they would only be removed from the web album, in which I only wanted to keep the adjusted versions. Since I didn't get the usual "are you aure you want to delete the master" dialog box, I didn't realize what was happening. When I went back to my main project, I saw that all the RAW originals had actually been deleted. Worse, they were NOT in the trash! So I am left with the edited verions of the RAW files instead of the originals. Help! Is this normal?

No not at all normal, and if they are deleted, the Trash should contain an Aperture folder with the images. It may be the library index has been corrupted. It may also be that you have a selection filter in use preventing the images being displayed.
Otherwise ...
In Finder, navigate to your "Aperture Library.aplibrary" and right click. Select "Show package contents." Select the project which should contain the missing RAW files and right click. Select "Show package contents" again to expand the project.
Enter a spotlight command for your RAW files .... ex: .CR2 or .NEF etc. This should show you all the RAW files within the project. Unless you know a specific filename, I would select them all and copy them to a new location. Then review the Thumbnails to see if you can see the missing RAW(s).
If they are in the project but not displayed, rebuild the library by relaunching Aperture while holding down <Option><Apple> keys. Pick "rebuild" at the splash screen.

Can I recover files deleted in trash and if so how?

Hi everyone,
Blown it this time! in my haste to do things I have lost 7 years of photos. Can anyone reccomend any data recovery software? Or ideas on how to get it without buying. I am looking at Data Rescue 3 at present.
Cheers

Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Are CS3 files compatible with CS and CS2 apps?

I am upgrading from CS to CS3 Mac. Are files created in CS3 compatible with CS Photoshop, DW 8, Flash 8, Illustrator and ID?
And, will uninstalling CS app files effect the CS3 install? This assumes I save certain components I want to keep from each of the older apps.
I have already installed CS3.3 successfully.

> Are files created in CS3 compatible with CS Photoshop
Depends on the features you use. Choose maximize compatibility when saving.
> DW 8
For the most part, they should be.
> Flash 8
Couldn't tell you Check the Flash forum
> Illustrator
Depends on features. Use save as when saving files and choose CS
compatibility.
> ID?
No.

File Sharing with Airport and 2 MacBook Pros

I'm stumped on file sharing. When I turn file sharing on in MacBook Pro #1 preferences and type in the afp address on MacBook Pro #2, I see several folders with a red check next to them. When I click on them it says I don't have permission. Is there a way, using the afp address of MacBook Pro #1, to log onto using MacBook Pro #2 and view the contents and files of the MacBook Pro #1 hard drive? I've tried everything, but I'm sure I'm missing something simple!
Thanks,
Chris

Under "Shared" in the navigation pane on the left of your Finder window, click on the computer you're trying to access.
Now on the gray bar right above the folders, it should say "Connected as:" (see picture)
Who does it say you are connected as?

File sharing with PC and Diskaid: don't see files on iphone

i downloaded FileApp and Diskaid, But, the files don't transfer to my phone,Help!

Those programs don't install to your phone. They install to your computer so you can manage files on your iphone using your PC.
Run the program, connect phone to PC using sync / dock cable and the phone should appear in the programs window on your PC so you can then move files on to and off of your phone.
Be very careful that you don't delete or damage system files. You will end up having to restore your phone when it stops working if you do.
