Share iMovie 08 files via iDisk Public Folder

Does anybody know the best way to share iMovie files via the public folder of my iDisk? I'm trying to share videos of HS football games using this method. The files are 250-400 MB in size. Anyone have any ideas?

You would send the "link" to your QuickTime file stored in your iDisk Public folder.
The URL syntax would be:
http://homepage.mac.com/accountname/.Public/filename/fileextension.
Ask your visitors to copy (don't click) on the link. Then open QuickTime Player and "Open URL" (File menu) and paste the URL.
One of mine as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.mov
You can also use simple XML syntax to create a QuickTime Media Link file that allows more features (full screen, autoplay and quit when done and even embed URL "links" into the file.
Another example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.qtl
Clicking the link above will download a very tiny file and then link to the source video (and the additional features).

Idisk public folder with password inaccessible via Safari

My idisk public folder is password protected.
No one (at least using a Mac) can access it using Safari.
They can, however, access it from a Mac using FireFox. (I haven't tried IE).
Is this a known bug. I recall it happening pre-Leopard, as well, so I don't think it's Leopard specific.

Have you checked and double-checked passwords (keychain) for this iDisk thing?
Sometimes KeyChain FirstAid helps. or Repair permissions(n DiskUtility).
Do you get error messages when you attempt a file transfer to iDisk?
What do you mean "wireless server and .mac settings are not compatible"?
Your statement that you no longer receive email on dot-mac?
It appears that your dot-mac account is getting mail, since you're able to forward it somewhere else.
Do you really mean that whatever mail program you use isn't able to login to the dot-mac mail account?

Looking for the Mac OS 9 iDisk Public Folder icon

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm creating an icon set of Mac OS 9 icons for OS X. I've been able to locate the regular iDisk icon, as it's stored in the Mac OS 9 "System" file. But, what I can't seem to locate is the iDisk Public folder icon. I found a pic of what it looks via Google Images:

If anyone could help me out, that'd be awesome

Hi, Alex -
If you are accessing iDisk while booted to OS 9, you are probably using the utility Goliath to do so.
The icon you reference looks much like those in the set used by Goliath, which can be found in the icl8 resource in the Goltiath program.
Tip - in OS 9, when you copy-paste an icon to a folder to give the folder a custom icon, an invisible file named "icon" is created and placed in the folder. This invisible file contains the "icl" family of resources for the custom icon. This resource is easily opened using ResEdit, and perhaps by other icon manipulation utilities, and eliminates a lot of the clutter associated with opening a program in ResEdit to get to the icl resources.
Because of changes to the icon formats ResEdit itself no longer works well in OS 9.1 and later for alteration or modification of an icon. However, there is a utility that will allow you to create custom icons or modify existing ones -

Idisk public folder won't sync on .mac site

Help my local idisk used to sync perfectly to the main idisk mac site via my public folder, until I recently changed over from a dial up to wireless internet connection. Now isyn works ok, but I cannot upload anything from my local idisk public folder to the main idisk website on .mac.
Anyone with any suggestions would be welcome?
If it helps in any way, I could no longer receive e-mail on my mac.com e-mail address either as the wireless server and .mac settings are not compatible. So now I have to forward all my .mac.com e-mails to my g-mail address which downloads normally into entourage! I think this issue is probably linked to why my idisk won't work, but don't know how to fix it.
Thanks for any help

How to mp3files, from iTunes, to iDisk public folder etc.

Greetings:
I need to upload unedited sound files to my .mac iDisk public folder for download from the sound editors.
How do I do this from iTunes. When I drag & drop, it goes through the motions of copying the files from iTunes, to the iDisk folder, yet nothing is actually transferred.
It is necessary to use iTunes because FCP will not compress in MP3, and the zipped aiff, although appearing as 4.9mb, is not allowed by iDisk (2G) as being 'too large of a file."
Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

1. First export the music file to the desktop, then try move it to the iDisk.
2. The 'to large a file' message can occur if the File Permissions are screwed up. However, fixing permissions with Disk Utility only works with System Files, so Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iTunes Music Folder.

How do i share a numbers file via email?

I just upgraded os x to version 10.9.4 and now cant share a numbers file via email. also when I try to save a file "save as" is no longer an option? Whats up? after I upgraded the system software I was prompted to upgrade the apps which I did.

Hold down the OPTION key and the Save As selection will appear in the File menu.
To send any file as an attachment in Mail simply drag the file into the message composition window. I find it's often best to zip the file first - select the file then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Compress "filename" from the context menu. Then drag the archived file into the message composition window.

Excel 10.1.9 will not open files in Leopard public folder

My Excel files are in a public folder of iMac A (Leopard 10.5.1). When I try to open an Excel document from iMac B (Leopard 10.5.1 or Tiger 10.4.11) Excel starts and let me know "Document was not found". I can open all the other files on the public folder (PDFs, DOCs etc.) - only XLS will not open. With Tiger it worked since years. If I copy the file to the desktop, I can open the file, I can save it and drop it back to the public folder ... but that's no solution for me.

I am able to open PDF in IE9 on win 7 64 bit machine using Reader 10.1
Additionally,as per system requirements mentioned in Reader 10.1 download page (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5138),Reader 10.1 is compatible with IE9.
What error message do you encounter when you try to open PDF in IE9?

IDisk Public folder access

I'm attempting to give others browser access to my public folder. Everything works per the directions below except that the public folder password doesn't work. It's necessary to use my dot-Mac password to reach my public folder! Has anyone else seen this?
"Mac or Windows users who are not MobileMe members can access your iDisk by opening a web browser and entering: public.me.com/[YourMemberName], and if necessary, entering your Public folder password."

I have the exact problem mentioned above.
I have changed my System Preferences — MobileMe — iDisk — Your iDisk Public Folder — Password-protect your public folder PASSWORD to a NEW PASSWORD that is not my ACCOUNT PASSWORD and it won't take.
I have tried to access my public folder with the NEW PASSWORD but it only responds to my ACCOUNT PASSWORD.
I've reset it the password many times, restarted many times and have tried accessing the public folder through Safari and Firefox.
I'd prefer to have a separate password for my public folder.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Can i connect to my idisk public folder and download?

is this possible? i want to download some mp3s in my public folder or documents

Jullian,
So you have to mount your iDisk on your desktop and go directly to it with something like Air Share? I've always just worked with a transfer folder on my hard drive/desktop. Will this let you access ALL levels of files on your iDisk - not just your public folder?
I wonder what new capabilities Apple is talking about getting for accessing your iDisk from a iPhone/touch.

Not sure this is the correct place but I cannot get the password to work on letting someone use my public folder. It asks for a password but it is my main password not the one I enter when using the mac tab on System Preferences.

File permissions in public folder

sharing out the public folder on an imac i am using for a networked file share. I set the folder so that everyone has access to read and write. When some one creates a file the permissons to the file do not allow others to read or write. Any suggestions?

Files added to a "write only" folder are treated specially by AFP - permissions are set to give user, group and other full "read & write" privileges. Changing the permissions of the "Drop Box" so that it is no longer "write only" would prevent the permissions changes from happening.
A sharepoint can be configured so that permissions are inherited for a folder regardless of whether or not it is "write only". I've never used Sharepoints, but if there is an option to set both "ownership" and "permissions" to be inherited from the parent folder, try setting both - AFP is a bit quirky and it doesn't seem to work well unless both are set.
AFP can also be glitchy - it was in "Panther" and I get the feeling it is worse in "Tiger" (there might have been a bug fix in an earlier 10.4.x, but some problems persist), especially with respect to the "inherit" options. When the "inherit" settings are enabled but the change doesn't propagate through subfolders, sometimes restarting the AFP server ("Personal FIle Sharing") makes the problem go away. Other times, the whole computer may need to be restarted.
I think the state of AFP in OS X is a little sad, considering what you could do prior to OS X where you could go in to "Get Info", share any folder and specify who could access the share, through a control panel. Now the official solution for adding your own share point is to purchase OS X Server.

Question about iDisk Public Folder Security

Is it possible to determine which folders in my iDisk's Public Folder are accessible to certain people.
I am directing different people to my Public Folder, so I want some folders to be off limits to some, but accessible to others.
Is that possible?
Thanks

In addition to what QTK says, note that the whole issue becomes moot in a few months. In June, I believe, Apple has said that MobileMe will disappear, taking with it things like your iDisk. You'd be better off starting to use something else now, rather than learning new things about the iDisk that will be irrelevant soon. Dropbox is an excellent alternative.
