Removed some files from library folder

moved files from library folder and attempted to put them back after experiencing major changes and problem. This is not correcting the situation what can be done to restore it back to what it was before I started?

Hi Ali,
Update, I did a verify permissions with disk utility and some stuff is where it should be now, (recovered iphoto yeah) but still a problem with other things as before.
So to answer your questions,
What is the exact path to this folder? And please post the contents of the folder.
I get to her old itunes by the following path;
home>music>itunes>itunes music - this folder contains folder icons of all her old itunes library, each artist has a folder, such as amy cook>list of albums>list of songs - if selected will than open itunes and will import to new itunes library.
I don't quite understand the heirarchy you are describing. Please post the contents of her Home folder.
Her home folder contains
Desktop
Documents
Library
Movies
Music
Pictures
plus 9 folders she had created over the past four years these are intact and accessible to proper application programs (ie documents open in appleworks, pictures are from the pictures library not iphoto, 3rd party software such as genealogy programs are intact and up to date)
"I find some old unchanged items such as itunes, imovie, email mailbox items, in a folder that she created before the change took place in her user
account."
What is the exact path to this folder?
As for this folder some things were moved back to proper places with the above mentioned verify permissions, some like, mailbox items, I was able to import to current settings to restore to how it use to be. From what I gather she created this file when things were going wrong and she feared messing the whole thing up. I access this by the following path;
home>library>(then the folder she created) Library do not touch.
When I compare the main library file to my account main library file they do not contain the same items in fact many of the missing items seem to be in this folder that she created. I assume the ones I need are in this file she created but I am really hesitant to just start moving things around out of fear of creating more problems on her side or messing up my side.
If you have sufficient available disk space, you shouldn't have any problem, but you need a reliable backup, just in case.
In regards to archive/install - sufficient available disk space meaning as much or more than what I am currently using? How do I check this to be sure?
Which brings me to a whole new question if you have time?
We do have an external back up system, which we used before a semi-recent move, (I plan on finding the box it is packed in believe me), however we attempted to use imacs backup program to do a quicker backup, were able to back up her side onto disks, but when I attempted to do the same on my side I received an failure error screen something about a drained buffer and being unable to perform a backup. Please tell me I have not fried my dvd drive!!!
Thanks again, hope I answered in a way that is helpful to you.

Most tax returns created by TurboTax require that you have the associated version of TurboTax installed to view or edit them. And, as stated by tjk, you need the Mac version to view them on the Mac. If you only have the PC versions of TurboTax and the files, you might want to consider either using BootCamp to dual boot your Mac or use a virtual machine like VMware Fusion to have a Windows installation along side your Mac installation.

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

New Lightroom catalog always selects and includes some files from folder Applications/Mail/Contents/Resources. Why? Mac Mini OS X 10.10.1. Lightroom 5.7

Whenever I create a new catalog, Lightroom selects and includes some, but not all, TIFF files from the folder Applications/Mail/Contents/Resources. Why does it do this: I don't select this folder to be included. Mac mini OS X 10.10.1. Lightroom 5.7.
Help much appreciated.

How can I remove some themes from Keynote??

How can I remove some themes from Keynote??

What a co-incidence... I just deleted those same goodies. They were in /Library/Application Support/Keynote-folder on my machine. I just deleted the whole folder, cause there seemed to be nothing more but those downloaded files. And Keynote worked great afterwards. There seemed to be another folder for iWork09, which is not to be removed.

Moving files from library

Hi
I'd like to move some files from a library so all libraries have access without duplication, etc.
What's the best method—just create a folder and drag from the library, or is there a proper procedure?
Thanks.

elmer

Hi Tom
Thanks for the reply!
Using that method can I move selected media (my pref) or is it all or nothing?

How to Copy an Image File from a Folder to another Folder

i face the problem of copying an image file from a folder to another folder by coding. i not really know which method to use so i need some reference about it. hope to get reply soon, thx :)

Try this code. Make an object of this class and call
copyTo method.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
public class FileUtil
extends File {
public FileUtil(String pathname) throws
NullPointerException {
super(pathname);
public void copyTo(File dest) throws Exception {
File parent = dest.getParentFile();
parent.mkdirs();
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(this); //
Open the source file
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest); //
Open the destination file
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096]; // Create an input
buffer
int bytes_read;
while ( (bytes_read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) { //
Keep reading until the end
out.write(buffer, 0, bytes_read);
in.close(); // Close the file
out.close(); // Close the file
This is poor object-oriented design. Use derivation only when you have to override methods -- this is just
a static utility method hiding here.

Is it possible to pickup a specific file from a folder?

Hi
I am wondering whether it is possible to pick a specific file from a folder. I have a shape where I have got a filename and I need to look for it in a folder.
Is that possible?
And how can I achieve this? The next step is to pick the file up and transfer it to another location. So basically in pseudo code I need to ask my defined folder with a filename as parameter. Get the file and move it to another folder.
Suggestions are most appreciated. Thanks

Assuming you are using orchestration, you could
create an assembly, install it in the GAC, add a reference to it in your BTS
project, and call it from an Expression shape to resolve the receive
location. You would only really need one static method in a class. Be sure
to add a reference to Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.dll.
Example:
using Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM;
namespace Phil
public class OrchestrationHelpers
public static string ResolveReceiveLocationName(string
inboundTransportLocation, string receivePortName)
BtsCatalogExplorer bts = new BtsCatalogExplorer();
bts.ConnectionString =
"SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=BizTalkMgmtDb;Trusted_Connection=True;Network
Library=DBMSSOCN;"
foreach (ReceiveLocation location in
bts.ReceivePorts[receivePortName].ReceiveLocations)
if (location.Address == inboundTransportLocation) return location.Name;
return null;
In your Expression shape within your orchestration, assuming a message
called "MyMessage" and a string variable "receiveLocationName":
receiveLocationName =
Phil.OrchestrationHelpers.ResolveReceiveLocationName(MyMessage(BTS.InboundTransportLocation),
MyMessage(BTS.ReceivePortName));

How to get latest added file from a folder using apple script

Hi..
I am trying to get a latest added file from a folder..and for this i have below script
tell application "Finder"
    set latestFile to item 1 of (sort (get files of (path to downloads folder)) by creation date) as alias
    set fileName to latestFile's name
end tell
By using this i am not able to get latest file because for some files the creation date is some older date so is there any way to get latest file based on "Date Added" column of a folder.

If you don't mind using GUI Scripting (you must enable access for assistive devices in the Accessibility System Preference pane), the following script should give you a reference to the last item added to any folder. Admittedly not the most elegant solution, but it works, at least under OS X 10.8.2.
set theFolder to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
    activate
    set theFolderWindow to container window of theFolder
    set alreadyOpen to exists theFolderWindow
    tell theFolderWindow
        open
        set theInitialView to current view
        set current view to icon view
    end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
    -- Arrange by None:
    set theInitialArrangement to name of menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu item "Arrange By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 whose value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is "✓"
    keystroke "0" using {control down, command down}
    -- Sort by Date Added:
    set theInitialSortingOrder to name of menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu item "Sort By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 whose value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is "✓"
    keystroke "4" using {control down, option down, command down}
    -- Get the name of the last item:
    set theItemName to name of image 1 of UI element 1 of last scroll area of splitter group 1 of (window 1 whose subrole is "AXStandardWindow")
    -- Restore the initial settings:
    click menu item theInitialSortingOrder of menu 1 of menu item "Sort By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
    click menu item theInitialArrangement of menu 1 of menu item "Arrange By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
end tell
tell application "Finder"
    set current view of theFolderWindow to theInitialView -- restore the initial view
    if not alreadyOpen then close theFolderWindow
    set theLastItem to item theItemName of theFolder
end tell
theLastItem

Reading a file from a folder.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to modify my first java program.
The method below is used to read a file that is hard coded in the below method. What I would like it to do is to pick up files that are stored in a folder. The reason for this is that the file names will never be the same.
I am unsure how to do this and would appreciate some help from you.
Thanks in advance.

I could not compile your code. But if you wanted to get all .txt files from a folder then you could do something like this
class EndsWith implements FilenameFilter {
     String ext;
     public EndsWith(String ext) {
          this.ext = "." + ext;
     public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
          return name.endsWith(ext);
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          String srcDir="C:/temp/";
          try {
               File srcFiles = new File(srcDir);
              FilenameFilter filteredFiles = new EndsWith("txt");
              String sourceDir[]=srcFiles.list(filteredFiles);
              for(int i=0;i<sourceDir.length;i++)
                   String fileName = srcDir+sourceDir;
          System.out.println(fileName);
          FileReader file = new FileReader(fileName);
          //..your code here
          }catch(IOException ioe) {
               ioe.printStackTrace();
NOTE: I haven't tested this code. You can give a try.

Windows 2008 : How to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder

Hello All,
I need to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder. Please let me know is there any method to achieve this requirement.

If user have Read permission, they can copy it. So actually you cannot restrict user from copy your files if they could read/edit.
Some programs could help restrict users from edit/modify/copy the content of their files such as Office files, PDF files etc as Oscar said above.
