Trouble moving files using IMAP

I'm using IMAP to access my email at work, but when I move a message from one folder to another, it is copying the messages instead of actually moving them. So for instance, my server has its own deleted items folder in order to fuly delete files from the server. When I am moving a file from my inbox to the deleted items folder, it only appears to be in the deleted items folder in Mail. But when I check it via webmail, the file shows up both in the deleted items folder, and still in my inbox. This is not an issue in Entourage. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There seems to be a lag with the Mail.app in regards to synchronization with messages stored on the server even when selecting "Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes" under the Advanced tab for the account preferences.
As a test, after doing the same try taking the account offline and then online and or quit and re-launch the Mail.app.
Check if the transferred message is still in both locations on the server.

I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive. Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. Can someone please help?

I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive. During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this. I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with. Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
Needs clarification. You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer. So which are you trying to do? Either way, sounds like a browser issue. You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

Trouble moving files in lightroom 2.5

I can't seem to resolve a problem with moving files in Lightroom 2.5. While in the program, can not drag and drop images from one folder to another. If drag and drop from IE (Windows Vista), and then go back into Lightroom 2.5, catalog does not update or recognize the move was done. I have to resync the folders every time.
Based on tutorial videos that I've watched, it should be capable of these very basic things. I'm still new to LR and learning but can't seem to get past this. Is this a bug or setup issue? Not sure what I'm missing but it's driving me nuts, would appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
Bob

If drag and drop from IE (Windows Vista), and then go back into Lightroom 2.5, catalog does not update or recognize the move was done. I have to resync the folders every time.
When you want to move a photo to another folder in LR, you have to drag the thumbnail, not the rectangle around the thumbnail.
Lightroom does not find the new location of photos moved in Windows. Simply not a feature of the program. Therefore, you are best off to do the move in LR.

I don't know what tutorials you are watching, but as I said, locating files that have been moved in Windows is not a feature/capability of Lightroom. You have to point Lightroom to the new location of the photo, or better yet, move the photo in LR. Or, even better, don't move photos from one folder to another, instead browse your photos in Lightroom, using keywords, metadata and collections (instead of folders) as your method of organization.

Trouble Moving Files in Dreamweaver (CS3)

Hi,
Having a real problem maneuvering some files around.
At the moment I have my index.html file which links to a folder called 2009website, which contains 4 folders each with a mini site in.
So for instance the index file is pointing to 2009website/design/print.html
and also
2009website/business/clientportfolio.html
etc, etc.
What I want to do is take those 4 mini sites outside of the 2009website folder so that my index file points to:
design/print.html
and
business/clientportfolio.html
So I've moved the folders in my Files Panel and clicked "Update links" in the dialog box which seemed to work nicely. Only problem is all the images and css links within the HTML are still looking in the 2009website folder, i.e.
2009website/design/css/design.css (and there's nothing in that folder anymore)
Is there anyway I can remove the 4 folders and have the internal links update so they drop the 2009website/ and just look for the relevant folder and file?
I know it's my own fault for putting everything inside the 2009website folder when there was no real need to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you say you updated the links and everything seems to be ok - do you see any broken links within DW design view itself?
If the files are pointing to that particular folder for the images and the css, but there is Nothing in the folders, then there is a major issue I think.
This means that the updating of the links didn't work as you expected - if the files are not in the relevant folders, but the images and css are pointing to them, then you should be seeing broken links...
What you could try:
Backup what you have now - so it doesn't get any messier :-) (hopefully you have a backup copy of the original before you starting moving files !)
If you are sure that the files are all within the root of the site and not within that 2009 folder, then maybe do a find and replace and remove the beginning of the url, so that it points to where you moved the files to. Try it on one page and see if it makes a difference.
You could also try and move around the images folder and the css folder and see if you get a pop up with DW asking if you want to update the links and see what happens.
Another idea - do you have an images folder defined in the site definition?
Other than that, I'm not sure what else you can do.

Moving Files using sockets

I wanted to know of a good way to move, not copy, files using sockets? Any help would be great.
Thanks

Even on the same machine, you can only move a file on the same filesystem. i.e. the file appears in a different directory rather than copying the file.
If you have an C: and D: drive for example it will copy and delete the file on a move.
Unix allows you to have symbolic links which can make a file/directory from anywhere appear anywhere on your filesystem. It does not copy or actaully move the file, it just appears to be where ever you choose.

Having trouble moving files to external hard drive

I have a freeagent pc&mac ext. hd that i usually use on my pc. I have used it on my mac in the past but i tried trasnfering all of the music from my macbook to my ext. hd and i got the following error message: "The item could not be moved because FreeAgent" drive cannot be modified". Does anyone know how i can resolve this issue? Thank you.

I'm guessing that you can only WRITE files onto your ext in windows. But you can only READ files in ext from mac.
FAT32 would support writing files in windows and mac, but I doubt that you can format it to FAT32.
So if you want to write files to your ext from mac, then simply reformat it using DU

Trouble Moving Files

I've only been using OS X for a little over a year, some some things are still a little confusing at times. My current setup is an iMac 27" with an external HD case with four drives. One is my time machine, one is documents and the other two are for media and projects. I also have a NAS setup to backup the documents and media. Plus as an added precaution I also have a 3TB external for my most important documents that goes in a fire box. It might be overkill but. I've learned over the years that backing up is so important.
I let time machine do its thing and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone files to the NAS. Recently I've been getting error messages that there are always a file in use. It always seems to be one video file and then an audio file or photo. I have tried closing all of my apps, but my back ups seem to always fail.
I know there is probably a simple solution but was hoping for some help. Is there a way I can see what app is using what file so that I can close it? Or is there another solution? It's getting a bit frustrating so appreciate any help. Thanks guys.

When I run the sudo command it doesn't seem to tell me anything.
If nothing matches the parameter of the "grep" command, you won't see anything.
When I add the file name after the sudo command does it stay in quotes, and do I leave the extension?
That command parameter is telling the "grep" command what to look for. You can tell it to look for more or less. The less you tell it to look for, the greater the chance that there will be a false match from a file with a similar name. For example, if that file had a name of "My Stuck File.xyz" you could use this command
sudo lsof | grep Stuck
but that might also find a file named "Another Stuck File.abc".
If you wanted to ask grep to compare more, you could use either of these forms:
sudo lsof | grep "Stuck File"
or
sudo lsof | grep Stuck\ File
(The backslash "protects" the following space by telling the command interpreter to treat it as a part of the name instead of a parameter separater.)
Now when I am moving stuff over it will give me a permissions error.
If you can cite the exact message someone may be able to help you fix that.
Maybe I am being over cautious with wanting two copies of everything
There's nothing wrong with that. I routinely have between two and four copies of everything, depending on the location of the file and the timing.

Using FileIOInteractionSpec Class For Moving File using File Adapter

Hi All,
I am tring to use FileIOInteractionSpec class to move a file from one location to another. The problem is that I am not able to override its properties from BPEL, here is how the FileAdapter.jca file looks like which moves the file from one location to another:
<adapter-config name="MoveFileService" adapter="File Adapter" wsdlLocation="MoveFileService.wsdl" xmlns="http://platform.integration.oracle/blocks/adapter/fw/metadata">
<connection-factory location="eis/FileAdapter"/>
<endpoint-interaction portType="MoveFile_ptt" operation="MoveFile">
<interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileReadInteractionSpec">
<property name="DeleteFile" value="true"/>
<property name="PhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead"/>
<property name="FileName" value="dummy.txt"/>
</interaction-spec>
</endpoint-interaction>
*<endpoint-interaction portType="MoveFile_ptt" operation="Move">*
*<interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileIoInteractionSpec">*
*<property name="Type" value="MOVE"/>*
*<property name="SourcePhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead"/>*
*<property name="SourceFileName" value="dummy.txt"/>*
*<property name="TargetPhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead2"/>*
*<property name="TargetFileName" value="dummyCopy.txt"/>*
*</interaction-spec>*
*</endpoint-interaction>*
</adapter-config>
In the above code, I have hard-coded the values, and it works fine like that.
However, when I try to override these values by defining properies in BPEL invoke's tag, the values are getting passed as null.
Here is the invoke tag code, tried the following 2 combinations:
<invoke name="InvokeFileMove"
inputVariable="InvokeFileMove_MoveFile_InputVariable"
partnerLink="MoveFileService" portType="ns1:MoveFile_ptt"
operation="Move" bpelx:invokeAsDetail="no">
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourcePhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceFileName" value="dummy.txt"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetPhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead2"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetFileName" value="dummyCopy.txt"/>
</invoke>
And
<invoke name="InvokeFileMove"
inputVariable="InvokeFileMove_MoveFile_InputVariable"
partnerLink="MoveFileService" portType="ns1:MoveFile_ptt"
operation="Move" bpelx:invokeAsDetail="no">
<bpelx:inputProperty name="SourcePhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="SourceFileName" value="dummy.txt"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="TargetPhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead2"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="TargetFileName" value="dummyCopy.txt"/>
</invoke>
These four properties are not visible in Invoke -> Properties tab as well.
Could you please suggest how can I override the jca's values for FileIOInteractionSpec class?

I have successfully used this API and it works fine.
Try to use variables which contains values like "dummyCopy.txt" etc.
Here is what I used :
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceDirectory"
variable="inputDirectory"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceFileName"
variable="inputFileName"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetDirectory"
variable="destinationDirectory"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetFileName"
variable="inputFileName"/>
Pass approppriate values into the above given variables and try.
Hopefully it should work.
Let us know, how it goes !

Problem moving files using applescript/folder action setup.

Hi,
Because the class of this_item is a alias wich contains the full path of the file :
You need to get the file name, also you must use the term "folder" before the string "Serenity:Color Images for Monthly:M:", otherwise the Finder will return an error.
if (name of this_item) starts with "M" then
      move this_item to folder "Serenity:Color Images for Monthly:M:" with replacing
end if
Here's another way to do this :
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
      tell application "Finder"
            set colorImgFolder to folder "Serenity:Color Images for Monthly:"
            repeat with this_item in added_items
                  set c to first character of (get name of this_item)
                  considering case -- case sensitive
                        if c is in "MNT" then move this_item to folder c of colorImgFolder with replacing
                  end considering
            end repeat
      end tell

Permissions trouble moving files -Help

I am trying to copy a large folder to my external hard drive. I have done this many times before. However, today, it is telling me that I do not have the permissions to do so.
What does this mean? How can I correct it?
When I click "Get Info" on the folder it lists me, staff, and everyone. What is "staff"?
I am a sole user, and I do not use my computer in a corporate environment.
Please help!

From the Apple support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
Owner, Group, Others
Abbreviations like "rwx" and "r-x" describe the permission for one user or entity. The permissions set for each file or folder defines access for three entities: owner, group, and others.
* Owner - The owner is most often the user who created the file. Almost all files and folders in your home directory will have your username listed as the owner.
* Group - Admin users are members of the groups called "staff" and "admin". The super user "root" is a member of these and several other groups. Non-admin users are members of "staff" only. Typically, all files and folders are assigned to either "staff," "admin," or "wheel".
* Others - Others refers to all other users that are not the owner or part of the group for a file or folder.
Check to see that you have Read and Write permissions on the folder in question AND that it is applied to all enclosed folders. (Click the Gear symbol at the bottom of Get Info window to apply to all.)
Also Get Info on the external drive and tell it to "ignore ownership on this volume."

Having trouble moving files from iWeb to iTunes

I recently added a podcast page to my website www.soapboxhavoc.com and would like to submit it to iTunes. All goes well until iTunes asks for the file location. I put in the page url but it didn't work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Is this the link you're submitting?
http://rss.mac.com/rgerard1/iWeb/Soapbox%20Havoc/Podcast/rss.xml (note the use of "http" instead of "itpc" as shown on your site)
If it is, you have a couple minor errors to fix as shown at this testing site.

Trouble moving files to external harddisk

Hey guys, anyone can advice me why can't i move files to my xternal hdd even though my xternal hdd has lots of space? I tried to change the sharing permissions of the external hdd but i can't even though i'm logged in as an administrator. Can someone help?

Mac OS X at its current version (10.6.7) can Read NTFS, but not write it.
NTFS is Windows New Technology File System, first used in Windows NT implementations on mainframes.
If you need Read/Write for Macs only, use HFS+ Journaled. If you need Read/Write for Windows as well, FAT-32 works.

Trouble moving file after rename; can't get the new name, what's missing?

I know I'm missing a statement to redefine this_item after it has been renamed, but I'm too noobed to know how.
Files I drop into my layersRenameFolder do get renamed, but then the script fails with error (simplified) "can't get <name of pre-renamed file>"
So I'm struggling with how to reset the variable so finder knows the new name of the files to move them.
Note, the code is compilations of other scripts and others corrections. I don't claim to be the original author of any of it. Just trying to piece it together.
Script follows--------
on idle
set PathToDesktop to path to desktop as text
set layersRenameFolder to (PathToDesktop & "On-Line Proofing1:1 Layout Proofs InDesign:LayoutRenameLAYERS:") as alias
set outFolder to (PathToDesktop & "On-Line Proofing1:1 Layout Proofs InDesign:Out:") as alias
tell application "Finder" to set these_items to (every file of layersRenameFolder whose kind contains "PDF")
--Check to see if there are one or more PDF files in the LayersRename folder on the desktop
if (count these_items) is greater than 0 then
tell me to activate
display dialog "Files located. Script starting!" buttons " " default button 1 giving up after 2
--Go through all PDF files, one at a time
repeat with PDFfile in these_items
--rename PDFFile
set this_item to contents of PDFfile
set fileName to name of this_item
set {TID, text item delimiters} to {text item delimiters, "-"}
if fileName ends with "1.pdf" or fileName ends with "ALL.pdf" or fileName ends with "CAR.pdf" then set newFileName to (text items 1 thru 2 of fileName) & "1.pdf" as text
set text item delimiters to TID
end repeat
end if
-- move renamed pdfs to out
tell application "Finder"
set name of this_item to newFileName
move this_item to outFolder with replacing
end tell
return 5
end idle

When you set the name of a file, the result is just the new name, not a full path. You can rebuild the file path by getting the containing folder and adding the resulting name, for example:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "Finder"
set theContainer to the container of this_item as text
set name of this_item to newFileName
move ((theContainer & the result) as alias) to outFolder with replacing
end tell
</pre>

Trouble moving files from 10.9 to 10.4

Goodmorning,
I have many '.mov' files for a movie I am editing. The file has 2 codecs on it, AAC, and H.264. it is 1920x1080, 24p footage. When I open in on my OSx10.9 Mac, it plays fine in quicktime. When I plug my hard drive into my 10.4 mac, the file opens, however it has this green flash layered over my footage. It is not sequential, it just randomly flashes green. I would like to know why this is happening, and How I can fix this problem. Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

I think you may have to resign yourself to that. 10.4 Tiger? It is ancient (nearly 10 years old) software, probably the version of Quicktime Player (6?) can't play these movies properly. You could try running an older version of VLC on it and see if you get better results.

Trouble moving files from desktop to external harddrive

Hi there-I'd love some advice
I have all of my FCP express files on my desktop-the render/capture, etc. I'm trying to copy them to my Lacie external harddive. I keep getting error messages such as "cannot copy, error code 36" and various other things. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing or what the problem is. I made a mistake and now have tons of gigs of files on my desktop and have to get them off. Help-Please!

Right click on the drive icon on your desktop and do 'get info'
Check out the format. If it is ms-dos, it needs to be reformatted. Please be aware that reformatting drives erases all material. Back up things you can not afford to loose.
