Reveal finalworking folder in finder (js)

Thanks

  • Problem Application - can't open Applications folder in finder

    Dear All,
    I went to upgrade an application (Transmission) today, but during the upgrade, my macbook requested to be restarted. I did this, and now whenever that application is encountered in finder, it crashes finder. This means I cannot open the folder in finder, or from my dock. If I search for it using spotlight, it also crashes.
    I have tried deleting it through terminal, but when I navigate to the applications folder, and type "ls -l", no contents are listed, though I can still load other applications through spotlight.
    Does anyone have any idea what I might be able to do to delete this problem application? I was hoping to just do a system restore using my time-machine backups, but I don't have an install CD, and apparently you can't do that without one of those.
    Thank you in advance for any advice!

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    I'd launch the Console utility and look under ~/Library/Logs and /Library/Logs for a CrashReporter item. If you see a Finder crash log in either of those locations, post the contents here and someone may be able to help you decipher what's wrong.
    I'd also use Disk Utility to do a "verify disk" operation on your boot drive to see if that reveals anything.

    If all else fails it's probably possible to use commands in the Terminal application to delete the problematic application, but first I'd try the things I suggest above.

  • IPhoto pics not appearing in iphoto folder in finder

    Hi
    I'm unable to find my pics in the iphoto folder in Finder.  They are definitely in iPhoto but it as though the two are not in sync.  So when I want to upload a photo to my facebook profile, for instance, I can't find the photos in the iphoto folder that are on the iphoto software.  I think this is a recent development, possibly since I upgraded to Lion but I can't be sure.  I've definitely been able to access my pics via the Finder folder before.
    Help!
    Cheers!
    Steve

    What version of iPhoto did you have before upgrading to Lion?  Ever since iPhoto 8 the iPhoto library has been a closed Unix folder/package and we've not been able to open it in with the Finder.
    Yhe following is from a post by Terence Devlin on accessing photos for use outside of iPhoto.  It's the definitive treatise on the subject.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running: 
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation   which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3.Show File:
    a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 
    b. On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 
    iPhoto 11 has a Facebook option with which you can upload directly to FB.

  • Moving Mp3's from iTunes to a Folder in Finder

    I've copied some songs to iTunes.
    Converted them to MP3's.
    How can I copy from iTunes to a folder in Finder?
    The copy and paste technique doesn't work as the traditional copy and paste routine.
    Thanks

    How can I copy from iTunes to a folder in Finder?
    Control-click them in iTunes and choose to show them in the Finder. Everything which can be played in iTunes needs to be accessible to the Finder; iTunes won't reveal the location of rented movies.

  • How to add a specific view to a folder in Finder?

    Hello Everyone,
    I was wondering if there is a possibillity to add a specific view to a specific folder in Finder.
    I know this sounds abstract, let me explain:
    In OS 10.5 there are now 4 views for the Finder:
    - Icons
    - List
    - Columns
    - Cover Flow
    Usually I prefer icons, but for my movies and pictures folders I prefer Cover Flow.
    It would be handy to preset Cover Flow as view for the movies and pictures folders while other folders remain unaffected and still view as icons, instead of constantly having to change the view.
    Is there any way to accomplish what I am trying to do?
    Thanks Beforehands

    Lawrence,
    What you want to do is possible.
    Open your folder (the one you want to "customize"), then choose View>Show View Options. At the top, you will see a check-box labeled "Always open in xxx view," "xxx' being whatever view is currently set for the open window. Change the view on the window, using the icon in the Toolbar, to set your desired view, then enable the checkbox in the View Options. Close the View Options, then close the window.
    Initially, changing the view on this one window will change your view globally. Not a problem; just change the global setting back to your desired view when you open the next Finder window.

  • How do I upload videos from an SD card to the movies folder in Finder on my iMac?

    I'm having trouble uploading videos from my SD card to my iMac. I'm wanting to save it in the "Movies" folder in Finder. When I open the SD card on my iMac, I am able to view the videos in QuickTime Player. They were an AVCHD file format. It gave me no option of saving the videos - not even with dragging them. So, I tried moving all of the files versus just one (in other words, instead of opening the file to view all of the videos, I just dragged the whole file without opening it).  It saved to my iMac, but in the same way as it was on the SD card - I wasn't able to actually save the videos themselves. They were only able to be viewed with QuickTime Player - I couldn't do anything else with them. So, I took my SD card out of the computer and put it back in the video camera. I then realized than I could not view the videos in the camera - they wouldn't show up. I then plugged the SD card back into the iMac. The videos were now saved under a BDMV folder versus the AVCHD folder they had been under earlier. The AVCHD folder was there, but would not open. When I tried to open it, all it said was, "This operation could not be completed." The BDMV folder allows me to view the videos in QuickTime Player, but I still cannot save them to my iMac from the SD card. I even tried saving the videos to iPhoto by dragging the BDMV folder into iPhoto. All it did was say, "The following files could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognizable format." So, now, I am completely confused as to what I need to do as to save the videos onto my computer, and even how the videos are now saved under a BDMV folder versus the original AVCHD folder in the SD card. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem. Thanks!

    You should have an icon of the SD card on the desktop - do you? If not, go to Finder Preferences > General and make sure these items are checked to show:
    Once the icon is showing, you can just drag the card content to your desktop. It depends on what you want to do with the video - just watch or edit in iMovie to share online or burn a DVD?

    Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

  • How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

    How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.
    I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
    sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
    sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
    Use -help for a list of options.
    But i didn't work as I got the above error message.

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

  • How to get trash folder in finder?

    How to get trash folder in finder?

    Hello Neil,
    Here's a challenging adjunct to the physical location of trash question above.  I moved home folder of my login to a different partition (data only) which all worked fine.  Then I trashed the original home folder which was on the Boot OSX partition (just to be tidy as it was not needed any longer) now the MBA says "cannot logon to this user for the time being".  So I clearly need to return the original home directory back from trash to my logon folder (eve though it is not really used).
    However, how can I access my original logon user directory in trash when I am unable to logon?  Logged on to the root directory and using your go to folder solution above I have found the trash for root but I am unable to find the trash for my actual logon (which contains the trashed home directory)!
    Any thoughts sir?  Thanks for your help.

    Testing what? Anything in /dev is entirely foreign to the Finder. Stay in Terminal for that stuff.

  • How to remove a computer from my shared folder in Finder?

    Just purchased a new iMac. After setting up Wi-Fi network connection, from DSL, now have a unknown computer listed within the shared folder in Finder. Have no idea who this is, but want to remove it. How?

    Hi Vonni,
    Often people will borrow, piggyback, a network without meaning to do harm. They just want a free internet connection. That being said, would you trust a stranger to plug their computer into your network? The best thing for you to do is read the manual that came with your router and find out how to turn on WPA encryption. Sometimes the router companies have support lines. After this is done, it means that anyone who uses your wireless connection will have to have your network name (AKA "SSID") and password. If you give them the password, they can use your network connection. If not, then they can't. That includes friends and family, when they are at your house for a visit. Giving them the WPA wireless password won't give them access to your computer (unless you use the same password - a bad idea), it will just give them access to your network.
    There's no way that I know of to eliminate a computer from your Shared Folder area. That said, it also doesn't mean that they have access to your computer. It might actually mean that you have access to theirs!
    To see what they have access to, go to the Apple menu at the top left corner of the screen and start System Preferences. Inside there, you will see "Sharing". If you uncheck all of the boxes in there, there is little that anyone could do.

  • Found Audacity for my background noise. Can I edit my audio files in the FCPX event folder in Finder?

    I think I found the solution to my background noise problem using Audacity.
    But can I edit my audio files that are in FCPX Event folder in Finder? Or do I actually have to edit my project all over again to put in new audio (edited by Audacity)?

    No, copying the whole Project and Event is just too much of a waste of time.
    Do this, in the Browser, select the audio file you need to take to Audacity.  Export it as a Master File, and in the Settings section of the Share window, set Format to Audio Only.  Set Audio File Format to AIFF.  Set Open With to "Other" and select Audacity.  Then pick your Desktop as the location to save the file.
    In Audacity, do whatever it is you want and save it.
    Back in FCP X, import the new "fixed" file, be sure to check the box to copy it to your Event folder.
    Finally, if necessary, do a Replace edit with the new version to the old one if it has already be edited into a Timeline.

  • Can not open download folder in Finder after update to OS X Lion

    Hi there. I have recently upgraded to OS X Lion. The upgrade was smooth. But since the upgrade I am unable to open Download folder in Finder. If I select Download in Finder's sidebar nothing happens. Finder won't display content of Download folder. If I go and select Home folder in sidebar, Finder displays content of my Home folder including Download. If I double click Download folder to access it nothing happens again. Cant access it. But if expand download folder using triangle next to it, Finder will expand me Download folder and show it's content...
    I tried to verify and repair my permissions with Disk Utility, but did not solve my issuel. It is very frustrating scenario, since Download folder is something I access every day multiple times.
    Any ides what can I do?

    I found a solution that worked for me. Seems like my firewall did not accept the afp connection permissions anymore after installing lion... Since everything worked well turning off the firewall.
    So if you don't want to keep your firewall disactivated here is what worked for me:
    - Leave your firewall activated.
    - Turn OFF afp file sharing in the sistem prefs
    - Restart your Machine
    - Turn ON afp file sharing
    - You should now get a message if you want to accept afp connections...
    - click YES
    Seems like this resets somehow the afp permissions in the firewall settings
    Everything fine on my network now.
