"Safari cannot find file" when I use "Preview in Safari" in Dreamweaver CS4

I am experiencing problems with AFP network users working in Dreamweaver when they try to view pages with "Preview in Safari" when Safari is already running. If Safari is closed and launches from scratch, then pages display correctly. This is isolated to network users only. When logged in locally, files display correctly whether Safari is running or not.
I tested this same scenario in Firefox and it worked correctly each time. Hear are results from both Safari and Firefox for an AFP network user working on a file saved in their home directory. All four attempts were made from Dreamweaver using the "Preview in browser" feature:
From Safari when it is already running:
file:///Users/millersr/Documents/DW%20CIB%20Site/lesson03/santorini.html
From Safari when it launched from scratch:
file:///Network/Servers/macserver.crhs.chesterfield.k12.sc.us/Volumes/User%20RAI D/Users/millersr/Documents/DW%20CIB%20Site/lesson03/santorini.html
From Firefox when it is already running:
file:///Network/Servers/macserver.crhs.chesterfield.k12.sc.us/Volumes/User%20RAI D/Users/millersr/Documents/DW%20CIB%20Site/lesson03/santorini.html
From Firefox when launched from scratch:
file:///Network/Servers/macserver.crhs.chesterfield.k12.sc.us/Volumes/User%20RAI D/Users/millersr/Documents/DW%20CIB%20Site/lesson03/santorini.html
To make a long story short, when Safari is running the full path is not sent to Safari. We are using DW CS4 (but this also happened with DW CS3).
Any help is greatly appreciated!

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed (including reseting PSE as the external editor) and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

Cannot find file when starting jnlp from browser

First of all, im not a web guru, so sorry for my weak knowledge on that part.
I have a swing application packed in a war file.
In the root of war file i put my jnlp, html that links to jnlp, and jar file. (everything created with NetBeans)
But there is also a directory "data" inside war where i hold some files.
My application is accessing those files at runtime. (those are save files for my game)
So, when i start jnlp directly everything is fine, but when i start jnlp through html link, i got error message:
SEVERE: null
java.io.FileNotFoundException: data\options.data (The system cannot find the path specified)
     at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
     at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
     at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
        ...Java Web Start starts correctly, i can see my first panel of the application, but when i proceed (application tries to load save file), it can not find that file (options.data) obviously.
How is it possible that everything works fine when i start jnlp directly, and it fails when i start it through the browser?
What is the problem here?
Thanks for the help!

Of course the JRE is not going to find a data\options.data on my PC, which is where it will look for it, if your software is running on my PC. Resources for JWS projects must either be available as an URL from the server, or downloaded locally to the user's local file system before they can be used as files. Why it fails to find it on your PC is probably that the 'root path' (the default directory at time of invocation) that is prefixed to data\options.data is different between running it off the local file system, and running from HTML. To say for sure, I would need a lot more information on how you are launching it when 'running locally'.
A major question here is, does the software merely read the data in options.data, or does it actually need to update (i.e. write to) the options.data?

Cannot find file when importing

I have always imported my pic. files the same way and one day this window just popped up. I can still preview all pics before import. I am importing from iPhoto on my MACbook pro. also tried to import from SD card, still same thing. also updated and shut down. still same thing. any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

Most likely the destination directory where the file is supposed to go does not have WRITE permission.

When I use Preview to view a PDF in Hebrew, I cannot search in Hebrew nor copy or paste instead I get gibberish

When I use Preview to view a PDF in Hebrew, I cannot search in Hebrew nor copy or paste instead I get gibberish.
Is there a way to fix this?

Do you have an example that someone could look at? I wouldn't be surprised if most PDFs you found were gibberish. PDF is a print format and is really only designed to be printed out and read by a human. Constructing a PDF with real Hebrew Unicode would be a rare find. Here is one example I found by passing the Hebrew word for "Hebrew" in Hebrew in Google. This is a valid PDF. I have no idea what it says.

It can't find URL when i use HLS for vod and the vod file name contain Chinese.

It can't find URL when i use HLS for vod and the vod file name contain Chinese。eg： http://127.0.0.1:8134/hls-vod/你好.mp4.m3u8.
How does it support Chinese path?

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Version XI Cannot Find File USING VBA Shell Command

I open Adobe Reader from an Access VBA Shell command. After upgrading to Version 11, the Reader opens but I get the Error Message. "Cannot Find File".
This was on a Windows 7 Machine running MS Access 2012. I had an older PX with XP and Access 2003 on it, so I ran the program on it with Version 10 and the Reader opened with the
file passed to it using the Shell command. I updated Adobe Reader to XI on the XP machine and I got the "Cannot Find File" message. I went back to the Widows 7 machine anbd removed Version 11 and reinstalled Version 10 and the Shell command worked like it did before. Does anyone know if there is a work a round for the Version 11 error as I have many many customers that may update to Version 11 and my program is not going to work for this particular function.
Appreciate any help, thanks.

Q1 Answer
I use Shell because it has worked for years and it is a build in VBA function and ShellExecute uses Windows API, and I took the easy route.
As I'm sure you know Shell is for exe, com or bat files and ShellExecute enables
the opening of files such as txt, pdf... etc by file association.
Q2 Answer
The exact string is
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" C:\FoxFales Data\FoxFalesStaff\Alerts\GenericSupplies.pdf
The path for AcroRd32.exe is retreived by reading the registry entry "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe\"
Q3 Answer
If you paste the above command in the CMD shell you get the same result. Reader Opens, but opens with
the message "Cannot Find File".
Newest Results
In the forum I found threads that indicated that if in Security (Enhanced) you had "Enable Protected Mode At Startup"
enabled there were some unpleasant results.
So I turned it off and lo and behold Reader XI with the Shell commandfrom VBA works!
But as a matter of interest I turned it back on and tried the API call ShellExecute, as you so politely suggested,
and...IT WORKED with "Enable Protected mode At Startup" enabled.
I don't understand why Reader XI lets ShellExecute work and not Shell, but I'm happy I have a solution
Thanks for you help

Safari cannot find the internet plug in

I have a new Intel iMac that initially had no problem surfing any web site. I now have a problem with any page that contains "shockwave". As and example when I try to got to www.autotoll.com.hk I get stopped by the following message...
++Safari cannot find the internet plug in++
++The page “Autotoll” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:++
++http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer++
++Do you want to open the page?++
I have gone to macromedia numerous times and tried to download and install Flash Player 9. I still get the same message.
I have also tried using FIREFOX and get the same message.
How do I install Flash Player 9 properly??????
HELP!!!

Re: FLASH 9 won't work with Safari 2.0.4 or Firefox (A FIX!!!)
Posted: Aug 24, 2007 4:44 AM in response to: threejay10
threejay10,
thanks for pointing me to the other discussion thread on
http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2007/03/08/flash-9-doesnt-work-on-mac-os-x/
i am not that comfortable in Terminal so I opted for the one other option i could see that doesn't reliance on me typing a slew of sensitive characters into Terminal.
So, instead, I downloaded Pseudo from VersionTracker
http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9608
installed it in my applications folder. then dragged the Flash 9 installer onto Pseudo. Flash then installed perfectly and all is working well.
It seems there is a simple fix after all. Apparently Pseudo installs into the root and therefore, I assume, bypasses the permissions issues. After 2 days of trying to solve this, I"m happy it's over. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I hope others can find this thread and the solution.
Cheers, TM

Spotlight and finder cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

Spotlight and search field in Outlook on MacBoon cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

Reinstall on both.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
Restore your iPhone to reinstall iOS. Be sure to do this while connected to your computer and iTunes.

"cannot find file" after formatting and moving!!

Wanted to have iTunes library included in Time Capsule backup. So had to reformat external hardrives where all my songs are from Windows do OS. Copied everything on other HD, reformatted HD with OS, copied back all songs. HD still has same name "MUSIC", but iTunes cannot find files.
Changed in iTunes preferences the location of files to ensure it searches in the right place AND also replaced with text editor in "iTunes Music Library.xml" file all links with new address of HD (now after reformatting to OS I found it to be slightly different despite still same name).
But iTunes still cannot find the files. Everything is the same as before, HD name, directory structure, file names, etc. ONLY difference is it all is on "OS formatted" drive. Don't want to lose ratings and playlists of over 15,000 songs....is there still a solution?

The moment I "drag out" the Tunes Library File, then there is nothing left there, and when I open iTunes it is empty.
That's as expected. That file is the database iTunes uses that keeps track of everything, so when you then launch iTunes, it's starting from scratch.
I can import the Playlists from the XML and they do appear, but still no songs, all is empty. If I try to reimport from the new location, then they "do not fit into the playlists", meaning ratings etc. are lost.
Then you apparently didn't get the XML file edited properly; it's not easy to do.
Why does the simple location function in iTunes Preferences not work?
It does, when used as designed. The preference is where new additions (imports & purchases) will be stored. It does not change the location for existing files.
Put the original library file back. Then launch iTunes, Get Info on a representative track, and look at the path to where it thinks the files should be and compare that to the actual path. Any difference at all will break things. If there are differences (drive name slightly different, any difference in folder names/structure, etc.; letter case counts), try correcting them in Finder and see if that gets things working again. If not, then you'll have to use the Add to Library command to get back your tracks which will lose all your ratings, etc.
Where does iTunes save the links to the original files so it can simply be changed?
In the iTunes Library file, which cannot be manually edited.

Cannot sync photos-says cannot find file, will not sync

eveytime I try to sync, when it gets to photos, iTunes has an error window with no code that says "Cannot find file, cannot sync" Everthing else backs up and syncs except photos. My husband uses the same mac and he can sync just fine, no errors.

For iPhoto the link said:
If you're syncing from an iPhoto or Aperture album, use these steps to find the iPod Photo Cache folder in the default iPhoto Library or Aperture Library location:
From the Finder, choose Home from the Go menu.
Once there, open the Pictures folder and locate the iPhoto Library file. (For Aperture, this is called Aperture Library.) If you have moved your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library to a different location, go to that location in Finder first.
Control-click the iPhoto Library or Aperture Library file and choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu.
In the next window, locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and drag it to the Trash. Important: Do not remove or modify any other file within the library package. Removing or modifying other files may cause data loss.
Close the Finder window.
Are you doing step 3? You can also right click and select Show Package Contents. It works both ways for me. I just tried it.

I photo freezes under 'cannot find file'

When I open iphoto it works fine for a few seconds but then it freezes and says 'cannot find file .........'
I then have to force quit because it says it's 'not responding'
I don't know why the files have gone from iphoto because I can still find them if I search for them and they seem to be in the correct place.
For the moment I cannot use iphoto at all so please help!
Thanks
Chloe

When it says that it cannot find a file, does it mention the file types?
Some other things to try:
Rebuild the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Safari Cannot find Server

hi all,
just purchased a new macbook a few days ago and i have found that when i am trying to access certain websites i get a message up saying "safari cannot open the followig page as Safari cannot find the server". i have tried emptying cache and reseting safari but it is still happening on a regular basis with different sites. could it be a problem with my internet settings?? i connect via airport to a wireless modem.

Hello z:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
First, check with your ISP to be sure your settings are correct.
To correct a different problem, I use OpenDNS (free version). That may not address your issue, but it cannot hurt.
