Using ftp to Scan to iMac

I have a networked Dell printer with a scanner. Before I switched to my new iMac with Leopard, I used "SMB to scan to computer," with the result being that the docs just scaned to a folder on my HDD.
But now with the iMac and Leopard all I get is "Login Error." Dell says that I have to use ftp to scan to a Mac, but then they keep sending me screenshots of how to set it up in Tiger. There's no one at Dell who knows bupkus about Leopard. I have the correct ip address for the machine.
I suspect that it's a sharing error but the mc info tells me a couple of different possible names for my pc. But I can't tell for sure.

First I need to correct myself... my G3 is running System 8.5, not 8.1 as I originally posted.
Now, some more info...
I have OpenTransport on the G3, version 2.something. I also have AppleShare, but it's version 3.8.1. I do not have NetworkBrowser. I only have the Chooser.
Currently, my iMac has Filesharing and FTP Access turned on in the Sharing control panel. "Built-in Ethernet" is also turned on in the Network control panel.
On the G3, when I open Chooser and click on AppleShare, the name of my iMac shows up in the file server list. Double-clicking it, or clicking the "open" button, brings up the connection dialog. I enter my user name and password, but when I click the "connect" button it tells me that the password is incorrect. I've tried changing the password on the iMac, and then using the new password, but still it insists that the password is incorrect.
So that's where I'm stuck, and I don't know how to get past it.

Scanning with iMac and C310a photosmart premium all in one

I am trying to Scan a document and It scans just fine but fails when I try to save, print or email the document. It works fine if I only scan one page, I can save, print or email the file. However when I try to do this with a document of more than one page, when I go to save/print/email I get the following error box: "ERROR: An error occurred when saving the file because it couldn to be written to. check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read only." If I hit OK at this point my software hangs up and the only solution is to "Force Quit" the software to get out of the loop.
Yes, I have checked all files and none are read only, and it works fine with single page scans.
I am using the HP Scan utility. When I try to scan using the controls on my printer it works fine but I can only scan single page documents.
I am running Imac with version 10.9.4 software. I have run all software update scans and no updates show. I have tried rebooting the mac and the printer, no change?
Any help is appreciated.

Hello James, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing print and scan issues. I would like to try and help.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend readding the driver to your system, using this document on OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
Please click “Accept as Solution " if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Officejet 6700 very slow to print does not scan to Imac

I just purchased a new officejet 6700 from Costco it takes at least 10 min to print if at all and does not scan to Imac the current osx is snow leopard 10.6.8 using an airport time machine as a my wireless router / backup I have charter internet with ARRIS modem model # TM502G its also very slow to run any functions in the hp utility I did notice that the home network ip and printer ip are different don't know if that is an issue or not any help would be appreciated thanx.

Hello kennethburland,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your concerns with your Officejet 6700 Premium.
What program are you printing from? Do you notice this issue occur from using multiple program(s)?
Please follow this entire HP document on Slow Printing. Make sure you choose your correct operating system.
You did indicate that your printer's IP address and your home network are different. The first three numbers of the IP address should be the same, but the last number(s) should be different. Please reference this HP document on Wireless Basic.
Are you receiving any error message indicating why you are unable to scan a document to your computer?
If you are receiving a "Connection Error", then please follow this HP document here. If the scanning software isn't responding, then follow this HP document here.
Please inform me your troubleshooting steps.

How do I virus scan my iMac with OS X

How do I virus scan my iMac with OS X?

Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in everyemail attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

PS3 using BUILT-IN Airport on iMac???

Ok, so I'm trying to set up my PS3's network using wifi streaming from my iMac (sharing ethernet via wifi). I have all protection (wep/wpa) off. The iMac is transmitting (the arrow symbol is present on the wifi icon) and the PS3 can see the SSID when I scan for a network nearby, but when I try to connect it failed to obtain an IP address. Any clue? Please help!

The search function does work in this discussion area. The following is in my post in the thread "PS3 wireless connection via internet sharing":This may be related...
In the AirPort (wireless networking) discussion areas there have been several threads about trying to use a Mac's Internet Sharing to give a Nintendo Wii wireless access. To date, all of them have failed.
The result of the threads seems to point to the very strong possibility that the Wii uses ports that are not available/opened by Internet Sharing. Since there is no configuration options in this area on the Mac, there is no way to open these ports.
The general consensus is that a wireless router or access point must be used instead of the Mac's Internet Sharing.

How can I share printers using a non apple router, imac to ipad?

Newbie in osx, but experienced in linux.
My new imac has 3 printers setup for sharing, but ipad 2 / iphone 4 fail to see them. I am using the belkin router that I owned already, instead of buying an Airport.
I found a solution at askubuntu.com Q 26130 at http://askubuntu.com/questions/26130/how-can-share-my-printer-so-that-i-can-use- it-with-airprint
I setup a linux machine on the network, with no physical connection to any printer. The 1st, an hp fax psc has a usb to imac, as the 2nd, an hp psc, the 3rd printer is an epson wireless, which is only connected on the network by wifi to the belkin router. I'm certain the imac "sharing" is properly setup, because the linux machine has no trouble finding the printers. Only the ipad / iphone have a problem.
Once I put the linux machine (with the above changes) on the network, everything works as desired. I can print on the ipad / iphone to any of the 3 printers, using the built in Airport printer routine (not the epson or hp apps). And the imax and linux machines can also print on all 3.
So, I suspect the imac isn't telling the router to display the printers on the network in a way that iOS can see them. I know it would work if I owned an Airport, but I'd rather not spend that much right now.
I'm sure someone knowledgable in OSX might have an idea where to stick an Airport definition file, created from the python script in askubuntu, that could solve this without having to run the linux laptop all the time. Any ideas?
TIA

It's possible to use free software (Virtualbox and Ubuntu) to fix the broken iOS 5 Airprint printing with non supported printers. Here's a fix that works on my imac, but should also work on even a windows pc.
My setup is a lion imac with 2 non-airprint supported usb printers attached, a belkin wifi router that provides network connectivity for my imac, ipad, and iphone.
Install ubuntu 11.10 in a virtualbox vm. Specify to use the "Bridged Adapter" with "en1: WiFi (AirPort)" for the network hardware. Make sure the imac's usb printers are setup with sharing. On ubuntu, select System Settings > Printers and add your imac's shared printers to the list. Then start ubuntu's firefox and set "localhost:631" in the address. On the administration tab, under the Server section, check "Share printers connected to this system" and hit Change Settings button to activate it. Go back to ubuntu's printer setup, and right click on each printer and check that the properties Policies tab does not have any messages about it being unshared. If so, then go back to firefox and make sure the Server sharing checkbox is enabled. It may help to reboot.
Fire up virtualbox to be able to use AirPort printing to your imac's usb printers, when you want to print from the iphone or ipad. This also works on iOS 5.
Only problem is error message from iphone to check the printer for errors, even though it actually prints ok.

Help needed for file processing using FTP

Hi All,
I am new to ODI tool and currently we are implementing one project in ODI. Could you please, any one help me on the following requirement... how to implement it?
Scenario:
i) I need to pick a file from remote host 'outbox' dir using FTP process, and place into local 'temp' dir. (I can do it with odiFTPGet tool)
ii) Change the file as per target business requirement.??? ( this step challenging me)
for ex:
if source file name : <project name>_<source ID>_<transaction name>_<unique id>.txt
target name should be : 1234_<transaction name>_<sysdate in yyyyMMddhhmmss>_<unique id>_2345.txt ( here 1234 and 2345 are hard coded values)
iii) Later move to local 'temp' to local 'outbox' dir. ( I can do it with odiFileMove tool)
iv) After successful process move the file from remote 'outbox' to remote 'archive' dir ??? (again this is challenging me).
For this my questions are:
1) How to get file name into a variable ( In one of the post , it says we need to create data model and data stores, and interface to get the file names into a file. apart from is there any easy way i can implement it in package it self?)
2) How to tokenize a long string ( i.e., need to tokenize the source file to get <unique id> and <transaction name> and map to target file name)
3) How to define implementation for Java in user function?? do we need to use class declarations and import statements?? I need a sample user function in Java.
4) How to move/rename a file in remote server?? ( need to move file from remote 'outbox' server to remote archive' dir)
5) If any step in package fails, How to get the error msg into a variable which i can use for sending mail and raise a ticket in remedy?? ( I will pass that variable to as content to mail and remedy ticket)
6) How to handle list type data (string list) by variables in ODI?? (As we can define single variable not as list.)
I am sorry to ask all my queries I a single post. But I need to solutions for all to implement this in my project.
Thanks in advance. Appreciate early response.
Regards,
Kiran.N

Can any one share your thoughts for my request.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kiran

Transfering .csv file from SAP to NON-SAP using FTP connection

Dear All,
I am able to place the .CSV file successfully to other system using FTP connection, but when i open the file I could see the gaps between each record. I mean 1st line with the 1st record and 2nd line having a GAP and 3rd line with the 2nd record and so ..on as shown below
1     1/1/2009     0     41000027
2     1/1/2009     0     41000027
3     1/1/2009     0     41000027
I have declared an internal table as below
TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_charlist,
         line(5000) type c,
       END OF ty_charlist.
DATA: w_charlist TYPE ty_charlist,
             t_charlist TYPE TABLE OF ty_charlist.
And concatenating each field seperated by ','
CONCATENATE res1 res2 res3 res4 res5 res6 res7 res8 res9 res10 res11 res12 res13 res14 res15 res16 res17 res18 res19 res20 res21 res22 res23 res24 res25 res26 res27 res28 res29 res30 res31 res32 res33 res34 res35 res36 res37 res38 res39
INTO w_charlist-line SEPARATED BY ','.
APPEND w_charlist TO t_charlist.
Now T_CHARLIST contains 50 records which needs to be placed on other system. I can see 50 records but gap is coming
Here res1, res2 and so on are declared as TYPE STRING..
Please do help me this issue
Thanks

How do I use p3scan to scan email (Thunderbird) using Clamav? [/b]

How do I use p3scan to scan email (Thunderbird) using Clamav? I followed this http://p3scan.sourceforge.net/readme.html
I searched for hours in Google and in forums looking for a way to get Clamav to scan email using p3Scan?
I have three questions (one question is in two parts) about setting up p3scan to use Clamav to scan for Viruses in incoming & outgoing email:
I now have three questions. One is in two parts:
Question 1)
Within the "/etc/p3scan/p3scan.conf" file there is a line that reads "# username: laitcg#pop.gmail.com:110 host: <url of p3scan machine> port: 8110".
My question is:how does a person find the url of the p3scan machine?
Question 2)
Within the read me file that you sent me (http://p3scan.sourceforge.net/readme.html)
there appears the following:
P3SCAN_USER=mail (clamav, etc...)
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport pop3 -j REDIRECT --to 8110
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport smtp -j REDIRECT --to 8110
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport pop3s -j REDIRECT --to 8110
iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport pop3 -m owner --uid-owner $P3SCAN_USER -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport pop3 -j REDIRECT --to 8110
My question as it pertains to the above is: Who is the owner and who is the P3SCAN_user?
Question 3)
Within the "/etc/p3scan/p3scan.conf" file there is a paragraph that reads:
"Clam Anti-Virus: http://www.clamav.net
# This program must run as the same user as p3scan is running so that
# it can access the mail files for scanning. Either compile with the
# options --with-user=mail --with-group=mail (if p3scan is using the
# the default user/group of "mail") or change "User" in clamav.conf
# to the user p3scan is running as. If you get a return code other
# than a 0 or 1, see the clamav documentation for the reason.
My question as it pertains to the above is: I installed Clamav years ago, so how do I make it run as user mail?
I would hope that no “Linux Guru” will post something to the effect of “the bash is the answer. Figure it out.” I learned and accomplished a great deal in Linux relative to the fact that I am a laymen whose college education did not encompass networking and computer science. I am asking for help because I cannot help myself.
Thanks in advance to everyone.
If someone could please, please answer the three questions that I've asked above, I would be most grateful.

Still not solved
I decided to go with the host: <url of p3scan machine> vs iptables. It seemed easier at the time.
The problem is that everything is written as a bunch of options with no clear direction indicated, unless one has a computer science degree or a strong IT background, and I am lacking in both.
The bottom line is that more I look at p3scan, the more confused and lost I become. Is there an alternative to p3scan that actually has GOOD documentation? I looked at Claws but thanks to the new pacman, 50% of all packages fail checksum test, something for another post.
Can someone walk me through this? If someone would walk me through this, I'd be more than happy to turn it into a step-by-step outline designed for the average user because this is just ludicrous. It has been my experience that good documentation open the door to so much more as it pertains to advancing one's undrstanding and enjoyment of Linux. I know that this p3scan setup would be well within the ability of the average "Arch Linux" if it were written for the laymen.
Please help
Thanks

I've been using FCP 7 on my iMac for quite some time with great success. Lately I created a new project and the browser window does not format properly (it's O.K. for previously created projects). The effects window is also not displaying properly.

Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug) I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years. I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!

How to send multiple files in parallel using ftp with single connection

Hi.
i have written code for file upload manager using ftp..
it perfectly working with sequence file uploading in single connection..
And i tried to upload multiple files with parallel processing in a single connection.... but it is not working properly.. i also used thread concept
but single file only transfered and connection refused...
my code here...
//////////////////// main class //////////////////////////////////////////
ftp.connect();
ftp.login();
String [] archivos = new String[100];
                                  File dir = new File("C:\\Files Uploading\\");
                                   archivos = dir.list();
                                   for (int s=0; s<archivos.length;s++)
     //Start Data Transfer Here
     new DataTransfer(archivos[s]).start();
                                   Thread.sleep(1000);
/////////////////////// thread class ////////////////////////////////
class DataTransfer extends Thread
      String FileName="";
      String LocalPath="",RemotePath="";
       public DataTransfer(String fname)
     FileName = fname;
     LocalPath = "C:\\Files Uploading\\" + FileName;
     RemotePath = FileName;
     System.out.println(LocalPath);
        public void run()
                    System.out.println("DataTransfer Started");
     /File Transfer Here
     try
           FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(LocalPath);
                           Ftp_Client.storeFile(RemotePath,input);
     System.out.println("Successfully sent : " + RemotePath);
     catch (Exception exc)
          System.out.println(exc.getMessage());
          System.out.println("DataTransfer Ended");
     }otherwise tell me any other alternate way

And i tried to upload multiple files with
parallel processing in a single connection....
but it is not working properly.FTP isn't a multiplexing protocol. How could it work at all?

I thiunk the graphic card is defective and need to run hwt

You don't.
Need a internal optical drive and the Hardware Test on disks is old and outdated anyway.
Your machine has lasted a long time, congratulations, they usually only last about 4-5 years.
They get clogged up with dust and overheat, kills the video card, there is nothing you can do as it's hardware damage over time.

How can I use windows software on the IMac

How can I use windows software on my iMac? I know I can partition the hard drive but do I need to buy Windows OS?

You can use Boot Camp, which comes with your Mac and install a copy of Windows on a new partition, or you can use a virtual application like Parallels.

How can I create a directory on my server using FTP in applescript?

Hi
I have created a script which successfully uploads files to my server using FTP and a curl command.
The one thing I haven't worked out how to do is how to create a directory on my server using applescript. At the moment I have to manually create the correct directory for the script to work, but would like to be able to automate everything.
Would this be possible?
Thanks
Nick

Thanks Bernard.
I have tried that and still get the error message:
"curl: Can't open '--ftp-create-dirs'!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:01 --:--:-- 0
curl: (9) Server denied you to change to the given directory"
The other relevant parts of the script are:
set ftp_url to "ftp.****.org.uk/artists/" & artistName2 & "/assets/"
set ftp_username to "*****@*****.org.uk"
set ftp_password to "****"
set ftp_entire to ftp_username & ":" & ftp_password & " ftp://" & ftp_url
set outPath to outputFolder & fileCounter & ".jpg"
and then...
do shell script ("curl -T --ftp-create-dirs " & outPath & " -u " & ftp_entire)
Like I said, all works fine when the directories are already in place. I have permissions for the artists folder set to "777", i.e. writable. Because the script is trying to create two directories at once, i.e. "artistName2" and then "assets" under it, I wondered if this was significant, but then I tried with just one new directory, and still got the error.
