Trying to edit contents in an invisible folder? help!

Hi, i recently downloaded a file in 0S 9 and i'm trying to open or edit it. By using sherlock 2 I can locate the file in an invisible folder titled, "The Volume and Settings Folder". However, when I try to open, edit, or delete the file, Sherlock 2 tells me it cannot complete the command because the file is inside an invisible folder.
Can someone help me out? thanks!

Hi, jason -
Another utility that will allow you to move or change the visibility status of invisible files and folders is FileBuddy.
Files downloaded to the desktop can sometimes 'fall through' the desktop into the invisible TheVolumeSettingsFolder. The way to avoid that is to create a folder dedicated to receiving downloads (I place mine on the desktop and name it "Downloads"), and then designate that in your browser as the destination for downloads.
To make that setting in your browser -
- if you use Internet Explorer, go into its Preferences (Edit menu) here - Preferences > Receiving Files > Download Options. At the top of that page is where you select the destination folder; in the middle is where you instruct it to always use that folder.
- if you use Netscape, go into is Preferences to the page Applications; the setting is at the bottom of that page.

Trying to edit a .pdf file. Please help.

I just downloaded the Adobe Acrobat 30-day free trial, which comes up as "Adobe Assistant" on my machine, and I've been trying to use it for editing a .pdf file, but it doesn't do anything but want to download an entire folder of documents. I don't want it to do that, but can't seem to do anything else. When I load Acrobat separately from a .pdf I already have saved, (even logging in to Acrobat), and try editing the .pdf document, it keeps launching to the website page saying that it needs to be paid for to use. I'm confused. How can I try the editor to see if I like it? Isn't it all one program or is the Assistant different from the Editor?

I may be wrong, but I think you are not using Adobe Acrobat at all. It sounds as if you are still running Adobe Reader, for some reason, rather than Adobe Acrobat, which looks similar but has many more options. If you are not sure, tell us what you see under TOOLS - main headings - or look at the title bar.

I'm trying to edit a smart object...

I was told to double click the layers window and a new editable window would pop up...but only the FX window pops up. I've also tried the "edit Content" choice but that erases the smart object....What am I doing wrong...Help!

Truth be told...When I watched a tutorial, the window popped up...I didn't realize the new window (CS6) was popping up in the tabs....Double Duh!

I am trying to edit my website which was composed in iweb. I have my website saved on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't seem to load the website folder into iweb for editing purposes. Anyone know a quick solution to this?

I am trying to edit my website which, was composed on iweb about 2 years ago. I have the website stored on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't figure out how to load the website into iweb for editing purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

You need to migrate to a modern, supported webpage development application and leave iWeb behind. It hasn't been supported for 2 years now and was behind the curve feature wise when it was dropped by Apple.
One app that many have migrated to because it is very similar to iWeb in the GUI and features is Everweb. It has a demo version that you can try. Text and photos from you current published site can be copied and pasted into Everweb to help the migration over.
There are other possible candidates. Just search the iWeb forum for "iWeb alternative" or "iWeb replacement" to get a list of topics discussing them.

Can I choose the optical drive when durning the contents of a burn folder?

I just purchased an external optical drive for my Mac and I want to use it to burn contents from a burn folder. The problem is, each time I click the burn button, the OS still looks for a disc in the Mac's built in optical drive. I've tried to look for an option that will allow me to change this, but there seems to be none. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm no expert, and it is not clear at what stage you are in your attempt to burn to your external drive. If you have not yet created a burn folder, open finder, go to the file menu, and you will find an option to create a burn folder. It will appear on your desktop .Once you have dropped whichever files you want into the burn folder, right click on it, and you will be asked to which disk you wish to burn it. From there you can install the folder onto your external drive.Good luck.

Setting uneditable formatting for editable content

Hey all,
I'm very new to Dreamweaver (and html/css!) so forgive me if this is simple or I have missed something. I have been Googling what I'm trying to do for the last 2 hours, to no avail, maybe I'm searching the wrong thing.
I'm designing a template and have just added my editable content. I have a picture (editable_picture), heading (editable_heading) and text (editable_content) that will be different on each page, however I want the size of the picture and the font style, colour and size to remain consistant.
I've tried entering the following into my css:
#editable_picture {
    width: 450px;
    height: 300px;
I've also tried:
#editable_heading {
font-size: 16px;
          font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
          font-weight: bold;
          color: #FFF;
          text-align:left;
No luck with either. I think I have possibly misinterpreted what the editable content is used for. If I have, can anybody recommend a better way to have different content on each page but maintain a consitant format?
Many thanks

I can't seem to assign a particular size to the editable content.
Nor should you. Content determines the height of your containers. Setting explicit height values should be avoided because your site will ultimately contain both long and short pages.
Your client's should be instructed on how to optimize their images beforehand in a graphics editor. That is where the image's height & width is established.
That said, you can add a rule to your CSS code to make all images the same size, however this will be defeated as soon as height & width values are added to the HTML code.
<img src="some_image.jpg" height="xx" width="xx" alt="some description">
When asking for help in this forum, it's best to upload your test page to a temporary web space. Either a commercial one or a TEST folder on your site's destination server.

Safe to delete content from the Temp folder under AppData?

Hi everyone,
Is it safe to delete the contents from the Temp folder (C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Temp) in the SharePoint 2013 web front end servers?
For some reason I see around 30 GB of temp files. Came across
this blog post but in my case ULS logs are still being generated in the D drive. Not sure how those Temp files are being created. Application servers seem to be fine.
Tried -
changing the ULS log path from D to C and back to D drive (as per the above blog post... no luck)
tried restarting the SP tracing service
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I am trying to edit footage in PE12 from 2 different cameras and the output looks terrible

I am trying to edit footage in PE12 from 2 different cameras. One is a canon HD video camera taking AVCHD at 1440x1080 at 29fps. I am also using a canon 70D DSLR taking a MOV at 1920x 1080 at 29FPS
I want to make a 2 camera angle video. When i import both videos into PE12 and edit them together (i am dropping in footage and editing them back to back on video/audio 1) and start rendering, the output video is horrible. there are no straight lines and its blurry. the source video looks great...I am wondering if the difference in size of the 2 videos are messing up the project. is there anything i could do to make the final video look better?
I am very new at using this program and any information would be helpful...
thanks in advance,
jason

Both 1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9 (pixel aspect ratio = 1.33) and 1920 x 1080 16:9 (pixel aspect ratio = 1.0) have the same
display, that is, 1920 x 1080. Whether you use a project preset for either, the space established by the project preset in the Edit area
monitor is 1920 x 1080 for editing. So, we achieve the goal of a 1920 x 1080 Edit area monitor space in selecting the project preset cited
above, that is
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30
On the export side of things, it has long been suggested that 1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic content be exported with preset for 1920 x 1080 16:9
instead of 1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9 since both give the same display (1920 x 1080) and the choice 1920 x 1080 16:9 avoids the use of
a format that depends on a 16:9 flag to stretch the 1440 x 1080 for display after encoding. The latter has implications regarding issue of the player and recognition
of the 16:9 flag.
So, we should be OK on the import and export choices.
What about what happens between import and export. You wrote
I tried this solution and it seemed like it helped at first but when the final project was done, it looked bad again.
How did the final product look bad....was it the 1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:8, the 1920 x 1080 16:9, or both that presented poorly in the export
which I am assuming was Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30?
Depending on your further details, I have some suggestions for the Timeline content prior to export to file.
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What do you have now.....
What computer operating system do you have?
We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
Does the above scenario apply to you?
The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
3. Go to
Get Media
"DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
"Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
Should work fine.
Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
Thank you.

Just got new iphone 4s. trying to edit photo but screen is black and with a "constrain" bar at the bottom of my screen, can't clear it or get back to photos

Just got new iphone 4s. Trying to edit photo but screen is black and with "constraint" bar at the bottom. I am unable to clear the black screen or get back to photo gallery. Help!

- Exactly what are you doing? You saying you are trying to syn it to new comnputer. When yuo sync it to a new computer iTunes will erase the iPod and replace its contents with what is i the iTunes library of the new computer.

I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync. They work fine when played in Quicktime.

Hello,
I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync as soon as I load it into the program. It appears to work fine in Quicktime.
Thanks in advance.

mbgoodwi
Thanks for the reply. This is the plan.
Open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to the Expert workspace.
In the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, select the project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p30
OK out of there. In the New Project dialog that appears, note that it has your new project preset named.
Be sure to put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". And, then OK out of there.
Back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders to bring your video
into Project Assets. From Project Assets drag your video to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1.
Is there an orange line over the content in the Timeline. See screenshot for orange line to which I am referring.
There should be no colored line over the content if the project preset matches the video properties. But, if you do see
that orange line, then render the Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or press
the Render button above the Timeline.
Do your video/audio now play back in the Edit area monitor in sync?
Please let us know the result, and then we will decide what next.
Thanks.

After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos

After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos. How do I fix this as this is the latest update?

If I hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto, I get the option to start a new library. Do I have to import all my thousands of photos into the new library?
In his original post the poster referenced the following. As to the new Library, see the end.
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. *Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. *Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*If none of these help*:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Forced to close RoboHelp after generating SSLs in order to edit content

I have reported this as a bug, but wonder whether any of you have had similar experiences and, if so, how you resolved it.
Have to close RoboHelp after generating SSLs in order to edit content
Steps to reproduce bug:
Open project from Visual Studio Source Control (Team Foundation Server).
Select a Single Source Layout and generate the output.
Try to edit a topic. The Check Out dialog box says "To modify this document, the files in the list below need to be checked out from version control. Do you want to check out these files."
Click Yes.
Results:
The Cannot Complete Operation dialog box appears. "The files in the list below could not be checked out from version control. Exclusive access to these files is required to modify this document."
Click Close, close RoboHelp, and restart RoboHelp.
Expected results:
The files should be checked out from version control with exclusive access when I click Yes to check them out.
When I look in Source Control Explorer, the file I tried to check out is not even checked out. Even manually locking the file for edit from Source Control does not free the file for editing in RoboHelp.
Thanks.

Contents of one network folder won't display - spinning beach ball

I have an eMac on a network running 10.3.9 which, even though the user is properly authenticated on the network, it will not display the contents of one single folder. All the other folders' contents display perfectly and the user can interact with the server and its' contents without any problems. All the other users on the network can interact with the folder in question without any problems, which tends to lead me back to a problem on this one eMac.
The folder in question is inside the main share and all the other folders are as well. Again, the user can traverse the directory structure without any problems. She can use any file, read, write, save, change, delete any file without any problems in any folder EXCEPT in this one folder.
When the user tries to access the folder, the result is the perennial spinning beach ball.
I've tried all the usual tricks. Cache cleaning, directory repairs, permission rebuilds, prebinding rebuilds, log file maintenance, etc., etc. to no avail. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Have you tried logging in with any of the other user's credentials from her system?
Also, have you tried a different user account on her system. (With either her or anyone else's login info for the server.)
