Unlocking windows files doesn't work
Hi, I went to print some projects yesterday and my usb drive got a virus or two. Usually I would just unlock the files in Leopard and trash them, but I can't unlock the files with Snow Leopard.
Any help?
Thanks,
Jaco
Firstly, this is a bit long (sorry), but will fix your problem.
I solved this problem using the terminal. In the mac os, you need to move something to the trash before deleting it. In unix, on which the mac os is based, you can delete anything in place using the command "rm", shorthand for remove.
To delete locked files that you can't unlock and delete using the mac os, you will need:
Administrator privileges, including administrator password
A locked file
Extreme care
in addition to the "rm" command, you'll also be using the "sudo" command, which is short for "Super user do". Be very careful with this, as you will not be asked "are you sure?" when using "rm" or "sudo". any changes you make *are irreversible*. Consider yourself warned.
These steps assume that the files you want to delete are on an external drive, as mine were.
1-
open terminal
Macintosh HD>Applications>Utilities>Terminal
you should see something like:
Last login: Wed Oct 14 23:43:36 on ttys000
USERNAMEs-iMac:~ USER$
2-
type "cd /" and hit enter
Last login: Wed Oct 14 23:43:36 on ttys000
USERNAMEs-iMac:~ USER$ cd /
USERNAMEs-iMac:/ USER$
3-
type "cd Volumes" and hit enter. unix is case sensitive, and you'll need to give "Volumes" the capital "V".
Last login: Wed Oct 14 23:43:36 on ttys000
USERNAMEs-iMac:~ USER$ cd /
USERNAMEs-iMac:/ USER$ cd Volumes
USERNAMEs-iMac:/ USER$
4-
type "ls" and hit enter. This will list the contents of "Volumes". In case you haven't worked it out, the "cd" command is short for "change directory" and is used as the command line equivalent of opening a folder in the mac os.
Last login: Wed Oct 14 23:43:36 on ttys000
USERNAMEs-iMac:~ USER$ cd /
USERNAMEs-iMac:/ USER$ cd Volumes
USERNAMEs-iMac:Volumes USER$ ls
USB-DRIVE Macintosh HD
USERNAMEs-iMac:Volumes USER$
Before we move on, we need to take a look at what we have.
this line:
USERNAMEs-iMac:Volumes USER$
not only shows us where we are in the computer, but also shows that the computer is waiting for a command.
USERNAMEs-iMac:Volumes
means that we're in the folder "Volumes" on "USERNAMEs" computer. I assume that your username is not, in fact, USERNAME.
the $ symbol means that the computer is waiting for a command.
this line:
USB-DRIVE Macintosh HD
appeared after we typed "ls", short for "list structure"
in my case, there are 2 further folders inside "Volumes": "USB-DRIVE" and "Macintosh HD"
you may also have a few more, depending on what else is plugged in to your computer.
5-
in order to delete the files, you'll need to navigate to them. my locked files were on my USB drive, which is where i'm assuming yours are too. If not, navigate to them now using "cd".
if you need to go to your user account's home folder, type "cd ~ ". " ~ " is the button immediately below the escape button on your keyboard, and you'll need to hold shift to type it.
if you need to go to the top level of your computer (the same as double clicking "Macintosh HD" in the finder), type "cd /"
if you accidentally open a folder and just need to go up one level, type "cd .."
if you need to see what folders and files are at your current location, use "ls" again
if you can't open a folder, because there is a space character in the name, type "cd 'folder name' ", including the single quote marks, where folder name is the directory you're trying to open.
remember that unix is case sensitive, so match the case exactly for any files that you try to open.

if you attempt this on a locked file, however, it will ask you to confirm. (i forget the exact message, as I have deleted all the locked files already...) even if you type "yes" to confirm, the file will not be deleted.
this is where "sudo" comes in. "sudo" should only every be used as a last resort, if you are really 100% completely sure that you want to do whatever it is that you're doing with it. used improperly, "sudo" can destroy your computer. it won't here, with what we're doing, but i'm just trying to get across that it isn't a command to be played around with. (it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye...)
type "sudo rm 'locked file 1'" if the file has a space in its name, or
"sudo rm locked2" if it doesn't. obviously, "locked file 1" or "locked 2" will be different for you. if the file has a file extension, type that too, for example, "sudo rm program2.exe"

USERNAMEs-iMac:USB-DRIVE USER$ rm file1

some other file1
USERNAMEs-iMac:USB-DRIVE USER$ sudo rm locked2
Password:
The password that is now being asked of you is the Administrator password. If you are not logged in as administrator, you will need to log out and log in as one to do this.
Type your password and hit enter.
You will be asked at this point to confirm deletion of the locked file. Type "yes" and hit enter
if you type "ls" again, you should see that the stubborn file is gone. If you open the folder where it was located using the finder, you should see that it's gone, too.
8-
Repeat the "sudo" command for any other locked files that you need to delete. You will not be asked for your password again, unless you quit Terminal and relaunch it, but you will need to confirm each time.
once you have finished deleting files, you can just quit Terminal; you don't need to type a specific command to do so.

JSP referencinc taglib.tld in JAR file doesn't work.
I have some custom tags which work fine under Weblogic 5.1 when I do a
normal deployment of files, including the taglib.tld. However, when I
try to reference the taglib.tld located in a JAR file, then weblogic
throws an error saying that it cannot resolve into a valid tag library.
I am only doing this because I am testing the same site agains both
iPlanet Web Server and Weblogic. iPlanet will only find the taglib.tld
when it is in a JAR file.
Can anyone shed some light on referencing the taglib.tld in a JAR file.
This should work, as it is covered in the JSP 1.1 specification.
FYI - the jar file is in the same location as the JSP which references
it. The URI to the JAR file (in the JSP) is from the root of the site.
Thanks for any help.

Read From Binary File doesn´t work on MCB2400 in LV2009 Embedded ARM
Hello,
I try to read a Binary File from SD-Card on my MCB2400 Board with LV2009 Embedded for ARM.
But the output is always 0, if I use my VI on the MCB2400. If use the same VI on the PC it works fine with the same binary file.
The
access to the SD-Card on the MCB2400 works in other cases finde, if I
try to read from a text-file it works without any problems.
Are thre any constraints for the "Read From Binary File"-Node in Embedded in comparison to the same node on PC ?
I have noticed that there is also a problem
with the reading of textfiles. If the sice of the file is about 100Byte
it doesn´t work anymore, too. I can´t understand it, because I read
always just one Byte. And even if the implementation in Labview is so
bad that it allways reads the total file in the ram it sould work. The
MCB2400 has 32MegaByte RAM, so 100Byte or even a few MegaByte should
work.
But this doesn´t seem to be the Problem for the Binary-Problem. Because even a 50byte Binary-File doesn´t work.
bye & thanks

SD_Card_Read-test.vi 12 KBHello,
thank you for your Help.
But I just want to read a Binary File, which is build by another program. And this is coded with 8Bit (like a normal Binary File) and not just with 7Bit (ASCII). So the workaround doesn't work in my case.
I posted the Test-VI in my first post (here once again as picture). And it works fine on the PC, but if I try it on my MCB2400 the "Read Form Binary File" Node doesn't work.
And it is also possible to open the Bin file with the "Read Text File" Node and see the cryptic content of the Bin-File. So the Problem seems to be in the "Read Form Binary File" Node.
bye & thanks again

Getting PDF files doesn't work on Windows 7?
Hi,
I had a working installation of Adobe Output Central v5.5 on a Windows 2000 machine. I then tried to move it to Windows 7 because we want to change the hardare.
I set up all programs to run as Windows 2000 under windows 7 (this is something you can decide with the standard functionalities of Windows 7) and all works, BUT, if I try to generate a PDF document I get the famous error [Invalid printer type (98)].
I use the -asppdf command line parameter to force PDF output and the PDF presentment target is compiled into the MDF file.
98 is the number that you can read in the "Printer Type" parameter in the pdf.ics file.
If I comment out that line in the ICS file, the PDF file is produced, but it's corrupted, so it's not readable with any PDF reader.
Any idea?
Manyt thanks in advance.Have you tested an external mouse as I already suggested?
You can try to install Value Added Package for another Portege series notebook. Just search a little bit on the Toshiba website.
In worst case you have to restore factory settings (preinstalled OS). There should the mouse working properly. -
Converting a Keynote document to Powerpoint file doesn't work
I tried to convert Keynote documents to PowerPoint files that can be viewed and edited by PowerPoint users on Windows or Mac OS computers. All I got was a error. Can any one tell me how to make this work.I did every thing that was in the instructions.
To create a PowerPoint slideshow:
Choose File > Export and then click PowerPoint.
Click Next.
Type a name and choose a location for the file, and then click Export.Hy Kyn, thank you for answering.
Every slide on my presentation has animated objekts. And every slide is linked (by hyperlink) to every slide on the presentation. So I want to give the user the chance to interrupt and to go to next slide. Therefore is an arrow to klick on, which has a hyperlink to next side (or do go to start, or to go back) - during the slide-animation is working.
That works fine in keynote, but it doesn't work after the export in QT. In QT it is not possible to interrupt the sequence of the animation. When the sequence is (performed) finalized, the klick on the arrow works, and I can go to next slide.
But interruption is not pssible.
Tanks in advance for your answer!

Save As... Duplicate lvproj file doesn't work correctly with lvlibs/lvclasses
I am trying to save a copy of a project with all dependencies so that I can sent a subset of our code to NI technical support for another issue. I have been unable to do this successfully and have isolated this to limitations of "Save As..." --> "Duplicate .lvproj file and contents (Include all dependencies)" when handling lvlibs and lvclasses. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if there is a workaround.
I am using LabView 8.6.1 under Windows. A sample project displaying this issue is attached. To repro the problem I am having,
Open library.lvproj. This is simple project with one library (SimpleLibrary.lvlib) and two VIs that are member of that library. (Add.vi and Subtract.vi).
File -> Save As... -> Duplicate .lvproj file and contents (Include all dependencies)
Pick a new location in your filesystem somewhere.
The save starts, then LabView puts up a dialog box "Cannot save library 'SimpleLibrary.lvlib'. Another library in memory is already loaded from that path." (Note that this is not true; the library is loaded from the original project path; nothing has as of yet been saved to the new project path.)
LabView it gives you a file dialog in the target location. If you click OK (opting to save it to the new location in the same relative path as in the original project), it returns to the "Cannot save library" dialog box. If you create a new folder (i.e. "New Folder") in the target and descend into the target, then the save is allowed, but when you re-open the project it looks for the library at the old location (relative to the new copy of the project), and it opens it as conflicted. The conflicts must be resolved manually.
The manual move-and-unconflict process is tolerable with a simple project containing one library, but it is impractical in a large project with dozens of lvlibs and classes.
Can anyone suggest a workaround for this behavior so that a project can be exported with all of its dependencies and without path corruption?
Thanks,
Rob

cant-save-lvlib.png 7 KBI loved Ben's suggestion because it promised to be a low-effort workaround, but, alas, I get the same problem: "lvlib is already loaded from this path...".
I tried Olivia's workaround for CAR 124214. It worked great for the simple lvproj that is posted above. (Hooray!) It didn't work so well in my real project, that has about 30 lvlibs and lvclasses. About 3/4 of the way through the save, I got a compiler error and LabView crashed. (Boo!) I submitted the crash log on this, but it's hard to imagine how anyone in R&D could make any progress debugging this without the source code. (And I can't submit the source because I can't export a copy of it!)
Anyway, thank you very much Ben and Olivia for your suggestions. I have lvclasses embedded in lvlibs (primarily for organizational reasons) and since LabView tanked while saving one of those, perhaps the workaround doesn't work in this case. I may try again after removing the lvclasses from the lvlibs so that the hierarchy is flatter.

I don't understand what you mean. If you are concerned about viruses, in my understanding copying and opening a file from the internet which is what "Save image as" does, is less safe than coping and pasting pixels. Copying and pasting pixels is the same as coping and pasting text from your web browser, it can't execute hidden code. If that was possible everybody will get viruses at the moment text or pixels are displayed on your browser.
By the way when you view a page from the internet, image files are already downloaded in the temp folder of your computer but only the browser uses them unless you open them from there and use in another program. So if you have a virus protection the images are already scanned. -

We have done a complete re-install on our XServe with OD. We have about 10 Windows users, and after the installation all their settings and mail are gone. All the "normal" files are there though.
I'm not sure we have done it the right way though: We did a backup from the old server (a bootable copy with Super Duper), then we formatted and installed everything. We made new accounts (with different names if that's good to know) and copied the users home folders to the new location. The Mac clients seem to work good, but all the settings on the Windows clients are gone...
Is there an easier way to this? We still have the workable copy from the old installation. There seems to be some kind of export/import way to do this, but I haven't got a clue how to do that...
Please help!davidh,
We didn't reintegrate smb.conf, but set the new server up just like the old one. We did however compare these files to see that the vital parts (netlogon, shares and so on, and of course basic settings) were correct.
We also copied the user files and profiles and made them identical on the new server, except for placing them under the new usernames.
Regarding the Local Settings folder, it doesn't exist on the old server, that's one of the weird things. We've checked the profile for a user on the client machine, and it is a roaming profile. That's why we're a bit puzzled as to why the login works and all files are there, but the user preferences and Outlook doesn't work.
I know I've read somewhere that the Local Settings aren't replicated like the other files in a roaming profile, but I haven't finished checking up on that. I wouldn't expect anything else than that Windows takes care of Outlook e-mail for a roaming profile as well though; I mean, the user must be able to read his/her mail from any computer in the domain, what else would the purpose of a roaming profile be?
Except for the weird thing about us not being able to find the user preferences or Outlook files for the client amongst the files on the server, I feel we're missing something; Apparently Windows isn't as straight forward as one would expect (not sure why I did expect anything, come to think of it).
We're going to give it a new go next weekend. Except for doing further research we're thinking of copying /etc/smb.conf and the files in /var/samba and /var/db/samba to the new server, along with exporting and importing the old user accounts to the new server, and then see if everything works as expected.
If so, we'll see if we can change the account names in a nice way, it's really desired to do so.
If not, we really need to do some more research, but if I'm not mistaking, the Samba-related files I just mentioned are the ones that pretty much make up the Windows Services in OS X, isn't that so?

Create AAC from Wav file doesn't work
I've converted many WAV files to AAC and it worked fine. The last few times I've tried it it isn't working. I hear the bleep which I think indicates it's been converted but I can't find it anywhere so assume it didn't happen.
I have Windows XP. I am running iTunes 10.3.1.55
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
GinnyHello,
thank you for your Help.
But I just want to read a Binary File, which is build by another program. And this is coded with 8Bit (like a normal Binary File) and not just with 7Bit (ASCII). So the workaround doesn't work in my case.
I posted the Test-VI in my first post (here once again as picture). And it works fine on the PC, but if I try it on my MCB2400 the "Read Form Binary File" Node doesn't work.
And it is also possible to open the Bin file with the "Read Text File" Node and see the cryptic content of the Bin-File. So the Problem seems to be in the "Read Form Binary File" Node.
bye & thanks again
