Problem opening 'commands" inDW2004MX

Have been away from DW for a hile..this is a new install on a
new
machine...I am getting the following error when I click on
the main commands
tab:
While executing TFM_DWMENU_COMMANDS_QUICKLINK can
ACCEPTCOMMAND, the
following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
At line 10 of the file "C:\Program
Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver Mx
2004\Configuration\Commands\QuickLink.htm:
TypeError: dw.getDocumentDOM() has no properties
How do I fix this error...?
Thanks, Tim

Yes.
It is the DLL that Authorware 7 needs to handle JavaScript
scripting in
Authorware. You need to supply the DLL in the same location
as the .exe
whether you use JavaScript in your piece or not as the DLL is
statically
linked.
If you are using one button publishing, then the DLL
will(should) be
included automatically. You can simply copy it from your
Authorware
directory to the same directory as your packaged exe though.

Adobe Acrobat 9.4 Pro / Win7 Enterprise (64bit) - problem opening pdf

Hello,
i got problems opening pdf files.
when i try to open the pdf file i get the message 'access denied'. That happens when i try to open it with a standard user.
opening that file 'as administrator' works fine.
I tried the Win7 compatibility check and Win7 tells me that Acrobat isn't compatibel. I tried to run acrobat.exe in different compatibilty modes (XP SP2/SP3, Win NT) -> no cure . Only thing working is to run Acrobat as administrator )

You can try to enable Admin rights on your computer.
In start menu use the search field, type in cmd once you see that in your search result right click on cmd and Select "Run as Administrator".
Once the Command Prompt open's type in.
net user administrator /active:yes hit enter after typing it.
You should the message "The command completed successfully."
After you try this launch the software.

Problems opening a PDF in Acro Reader 8 with BuddyAPI?

I apologize in advance for not having enough information to
properly diagnosis this situation, I’m encountering
considerable resistance from others in my company to go back to the
client and ask for additional details, but here’s the
situation:
We’ve got a project out in the field that opens PDF
files using BuddyAPI (code below) … it worked fine when the
client machines were all using Acro Reader 7.x Some time during the
year the client’s IT department upgraded everyone to Acro
Reader 8.x, now it works on some machines and not on others. I
don’t know how many machines it doesn’t work on, at
least one, probably two (vs 4000 copies of the project out in the
field). What do I mean by “doesn’t work”
…well, I’m not really sure … when I ask if the
client can open the PDFs directly, outside of our app, I get an
answer similar to “yeah, they must have tried that …
just post the question on the forum” … I also
don’t know if an error is generated, I’m told simply
the PDFs don’t open, although if an error were generated I
would think someone would mention it. Sorry to vent, I know
it’s not much to work with, but if someone else has a similar
problem I’d love to know about it.
BTW: I’ve got 3 machines here in the office all with
Acro Reader 8, works fine on all of them.

Hi all,
I just posted this in anotehr thread dealing with the same
issue.
I have emailed Gary who develops the Buddy API Xtra and he
did some
testing and this is what he reported.
It seems that when Adobe install Reader 8.0, they don't
implement an
'Open' association, but a 'Read' one. If you right click on a
.pdf file
you will see that the actions available don't include Open.
Now, this
should only affect people using an older version of Buddy,
that was
something changed for Acrobat 7 and .fdf files, so that if
there wasn't
a Open action, it used the default one instead. So the best
option is to
use the current version of Buddy. But to make it work with
programs
still older buddy that can't be changed, it should be
possible to write
a .reg script or updater to add the Open command to the list
of actions,
then older version of buddy will work. You can use this
script in a
projector to update the registry so that pdf files will open.
So that
could be used in a updater projector.
on setAcroOpenReg
str = baReadRegString(
"Applications\AcroRD32.exe\shell\Read\command",
"", "", "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" )
if length( str ) > 0 then
baWriteRegString(
"Applications\AcroRD32.exe\shell\Open\command",
"", str, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" )
end if
end
Hope that helps.

Acrobat 9.1.3 problems opening files

Hi,
I'm having problems opening some files with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.1.3 and Windows XP and Vista. The problem also exists in other versions of Acrobat reader as well. I updated to the latest version hoping it would fix things. The problem is when I double click an Acrobat file, no matter where I save it, it starts Acrobat reader and then freezes. This does not seem to be the case with ALL acrobat files, mainly ones created in Excel and saved using the save as pdf utility provided by Microsoft. I have to forcibly quit Acrobat reader from the task manager. I have found that if I start Acrobat reader first that I can open the file by using the open command in the file menu. If I e-mail the file to someone else they are unable to open it unless they go through the same procedure I do.
Any thoughts as to what may be wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the response! I should have been a little more clear, though. The software is installed on and being run off of each of the individual local machines. The server just manages the users' home folders.

Open a command window and send some keystroke to the opened command window

Hi All,
I am trying to open command prompt and send some key stroke to that command prompt. Here I am using Robot to send keystroke. But the problem is, the keystrokes are not sent to the prompt. I guess I need to activate progamitically the command prompt to accept the keystrokes . Please find the code below ( as I did).
try
String command = "cmd.exe /c start";
Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
Robot robot = new Robot();
Thread.sleep(5000);
String lol = "indranil";
for(int i=0;i<lol.length();i++)
robot.keyPress(lol.charAt(i));
int g = lol.length() - 1;
robot.keyRelease(lol.charAt(g));
catch (Exception e) {}
I guess I am doing some mistake here while sending the keystroke/openning the command prompt. Can anyone please help me how can I open a command window and send some keystroke to the opened command window. I am in fix.
Thanks,
Indranil

The first thing to do is read the API and examples for the Robot class.

Where are the settings for the "open" command, located at /usr/bin/open?

I have Windows XP installed on a partition on my Macbook and I use Parallels to access some of the Windows applications.
When I am in Mac OS X, and I don't even have a virtual machine running, if I enter the following command in the terminal, I get some really strange behavior:
/usr/bin/open -a firefox http://localhost/~myname/somewebpage.html
The open command will launch firefox within Mac OS X and display the page, but, it WILL ALSO TRY TO LAUNCH FIREFOX VIA PARALLELS. So, it starts a Parallels session and tries to launch Firefox. I see the Firefox icon in my dock twice, once normally, and once with the Parallels version of the Firefox icon. But, I cannot view the Parallels instance of Firefox.
In order to debug this, I removed Firefox from Mac OS X (deleted Firefox.app from my applications folder) and I un-installed it from the windows partition using Add/Remove programs in windows.
Now, running the open command as stated above launches Safari in Mac OS X and it still launches parrallels.
Where is the list of application associations that the "open" command uses? I assume there is some incorrect associate that is causing this but, I have no idea how to find it.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

Thank you for your reply.
I actually checked out the man page for "open" but, I was unable to find LaunchServices in the finder. I was hoping there would be some sort of manifest, or application map, within LaunchServices that might be the source of my problem.
Regarding using the full path: Good suggestion. That will clear it up when I use the command line, or if I were writing my own app, etc...unfortunately, I became aware of this problem because Netbeans is using the command in the abbreviated form I posted above (to launch web applications I am debugging), and I can't edit it.
I removed Firefox from both Windows and Mac OS X on my machine, and tested the Netbeans functionality, it launched my application in Safari with no errors. I reinstalled Firefox on my Mac OS X partition and selected it in Netbeans preferences as the browser to use when debugging an app. When I tried to debug an application in Netbeans again, I got the same behavior...parallels launched. Ugh.
There was a folder, on the Windows side of things, called something like Parallels\Shared Applications. It had a shortcut to Firefox in it but, I removed that before doing my testing. I was hoping there would be something similar on the Mac OS X side but, I haven't been able to find anything.
Thank you both for your help. I think I might need to visit the Parallels forums for this one.

Open command in Terminal

When I try to open a folder from Terminal using the open command, instead of a Finder window opening for the folder, another Terminal window opens up with contents like the following:
*Last login: Sat Nov 14 16:14:45 on ttys001*
*jt-imac:~ terrator$ /Users/terrator/Music ; exit;*
*-bash: /Users/terrator/Music: is a directory*
logout
*\[Process completed\]*
In addition, I get the same symptom when I try to open folders from the Dock and Spotlight so I think the problems are related.
I have done the following in trying to resolve this problem:
1. Repair permissions and repair disk with Disk Utility using the Installation DVD after booting from it.
2. Repair LaunchServices using Onyx
3. Created a test user to see if this user has the same problem. No, the problem doesn't happen in this user.
4. Deleted the com.appl.terminal.plist and some other plist files.
5. Reinstalled Snow Leopard on top of my existing installation.
None of those attempts have resolved the problem.
Anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this problem?

For Terminal.app I don't see anything with name "Folder" but I see one with roles "Editor":
The Terminal does not execute anything. It is a character terminal emulator that is connected to pseudo (fake) serial terminal device (/dev/pty**)
The other side of that pty device is attached to an independent process that happens to be running a shell of some kind (default being the bash shell).
The shell will create child processes on demand and run commands requested by the user. Any text send to standard out or standard error by the shell or any of the children processes started by the shell, will be sent to the pty and the Terminal will read the other side of the pty and display the text in the Terminal window.
The Terminal will also listen to the keyboard, and send any text you type to the pty where the shell or a child process created by the shell will read the other side of the pty and do what you tell it via the keyboard.
That is the Terminal's job. communicate through this fake serial device. It does not execute commands. I knows nothing about Folders, nor files, nor TYPE/CREATOR fields, nor file type suffixes. Just reads text you type, and displays text sent back from the shell or its child processes.

How to pass command-line options to app using the "open" command?

I am using jedit, and since I'm doing a lot of stuff in a shell, I'd really like to launch it from the command line as though I'd opened from finder, so I wrote a script that contains this:
open -a /Applications/Jedit.app "$@" &
This works well for everything except NEW files, where I get this error:
2007-02-16 19:29:48.072 open[1032] No such file: /Users/millerti/projects/ateon/new_file
Is there a way I can override this?
So, it occurred to me that I might try running jedit directly this way:
/Applications/Jedit.app/Contents/MacOS/jedit -- "$@" &
The trouble is that this suffers all sorts of weird problems. For instance, if there's already a jedit running, it launches another one (despite the fact that -server is default). Moreover, the file it opens, existing or not, is not the one I specify. If I'm in ~/mydir and I open ./myfile, jedit opens instead /Applications/myfile.
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. Can someone help me figure out what open is doing internally so that I can launch jedit compatible with how open does it so that I can both open existing files and create new ones the same way from the command line?
BTW, I can make more complex script.
Also, if this isn't the right forum for this, can someone tell me where would be a better place to get the question answered?
And I'm not expecting to get jedit support here. This isn't a jedit problem because it's behaving correctly.
Thanks.

Applications rarely take command line arguments. I don't know anything about Jedit, whether that is an exception, but you are not sending an argument to Jedit with the open command. The file name on your command line is an argument to the open command. The open command says "open this file with the specified application". The application doesn't see the argument. It sees the file exactly as if it were opened from the Finder. That's why naming a non-existent file doesn't work.
What if you open Jedit with no file, create a new document in the application. (Again, I am not familiar with Jedit.)

FirefoxHTML\Shell\Open\Command is appended to URLs selected in Excel, Windows 8, ver 27.0.1

When clicking on a link in MS Office 2007 components such as Excel, FirefoxHTML\Shell\Open\Command is appended to the URL causing the search to 404.
I am using Windows 8 on a Sony Vaio, and version 27.0.1 of firefox.
Firefox is up to date, and is my default browser.
Web research shows this is a recurring problem with issues dating back to very early versions.
This began happening after my last update to the current version

Try to redo the default browser setting and temporarily set another browser as the default browser.

I've increased Photoshop's memory allowance (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Let Photoshop Use: 7277 MB (100%)), and I have an active Scratch Disk with more than 500 GB free.
Bridge reports the following re the TIF 14409 x 16209, 600 ppi, scanned on a KIP 3000. There's probably RLE compression involved, but I haven't confirmed that.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your time & trouble.
Cheers!
[1] Activity Monitor:

Are you running Photoshop CS5 in 32 bit mode or 64 bit mode.
The ability to use available ram varies according to the bit mode.
Photoshop version
OS version
Maximum amount of RAM that Photoshop can use
CS5, 32 bit
Mac OS
2.1 GB
CS5, 64 bit
Mac OS
As much RAM as you can fit in your computer
To check if you are running in 32 Bit, in the Finder click the Photoshop CS5 icon (the actual app not the folder) and Get Info
If the Open in 32 bit mode. you should deselect this, Close down Photoshop and reopen to run in 64 bit and be able to access more RAM

Odd trackpad behavior, opens Command+ F in any program.

I have an odd behavior on my Mac that's starting to get pretty annoying.
I have a late 2009 model. If I am in say Safari, and I wiggle my finger near the bottom of the track pad, (wiggling up and down on the bottom center edge of the trackpad) it opens up the search bar for Safari.
Basically Command+F.
If I am on the desktop (Finder) and do the same action it opens Command+ F once again, this time just in Finder.
In iTunes, the same motion on the trackpad puts me in full screen, which is, you guess it. Command+ F.
I have tried to get rid of this behavior by terminal commands killall Finder, killall Dock, and also by moving the user/library/preferences folder contents to the desktop, so that programs rewrite their preferences, but everything still has the same behavior.
Any ideas?

Never heard of anything like it, frankly. Run the Apple Hardware Test you'll find on one of the DVDs that came with your MBP, and make an exact note of any errors it reports. Then make a Genius Bar appointment at an Apple Store and demonstrate the problem to the Genius. Also show the Genius the text of the error report (if there was one).

No Thumbnails on "Open" Command in Editor

I've been using Photoshop Elements 10 since early August and it's been working well.
However, since yesterday, when I use the File/Open command in Edit to get a new picture, I no longer see thumbnails, just a graphic of an orange flower. The pictures (mainly JPEG with some RAW/NEF) still open fine and if I single click one of the orange flowers I get a preview at the bottom of the Open screen. However, this is far from convenient. FYI, I usually work set to "large icons" but I've tried all the different size settings.
FYI, I've recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and reinstalled PSE10. However, all was working fine immediately after the change of computer and the lack of thumbnails has only just started.
Any thoughts?

In view of the crickets in here, I've found my own solution.
Under Control Panel/Folder Options/View there's a tick box saying "Always display icons, never thumbnails". I've no idea how it got ticked but unticking it fixed my problems.
Hope this helps somebody in the future.

Spinning rainbow wheel for long periods on File Open commands in Acrobat and Office 365 programs

Hardware & Software:
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)
77GB of free hard disk space
8GB RAM
Running OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.2)
Over the last few days, when I try to execute a File Open command from Adobe Acrobat or Office 365 programs (even from an innocuous location such as Documents), I get the spinning rainbow wheel for long periods of time (10 seconds to minutes) before I am able to select a file to open. I copied messages from Console after a File Open command for each of Adobe Acrobat and Excel (the selected location was Documents), given below:

Can anyone give me an idea of what these messages mean and how I can solve this problem?
If I'm not in the correct Community for this question, could someone kindly tell me where I should re-post?
Thanks.

Yes; I have previously connected to an iMac at this location using File Sharing. However, in my attempts to solve this problem last week, I had already unchecked File Sharing in System Preferences. Tonight, I also deleted the folder from the window in the File Sharing System Preferences page, then rebooted. The problem still persists.
I try not open files across a server line, i.e., I try always to copy a file to the local computer and open it there. I may have gotten careless and tried to open a file from the Windows server with either or both Acrobat and Office 365. Although this was an SMB share, is it possible that these programs are now trying to connect to the Windows server on a File Open?
I had about decided to quit chasing this problem; we spend about two weeks every two months at this Boston location, and I'll be returning to my Florida home this weekend. So I decided I would see what the situation was when I returned to my native habitat, although I may be chasing this problem again in our trip to the Boston area in April.
The other thing I wondered (I guess I can't quite let it go), is whether there is a command line in Terminal that would kill all AFP shares.
In any case, thanks for your help; you're very knowledgeable.

'sudo open' command doesn't propagate privilege

I have an application folder (.app) which requires root privilege for capturing network packets. I tried to execute with 'sudo open foo.app' but came back with permission denied error.
So I changed the directory down to foo.app/Contents/MacOS/ and run the actual binary with sudo command instead. The binary run fine without permission problem.
I did 'sudo bash' to create a root shell and run 'open foo.app', it still came back with permission problem.
I am not a Mac experience user, is the 'open' command supposed to stop the root privilege?
Many thanks
Joe

Just found out that's what open does. I guess I need to find out how to run Xcode in sudo.
AFAIK, there is no better way to do it than using what you did
sudo foo.app/contents/macos/foo &
Thanks anyway
