What is Mac's equivalent to Windows Explorer (file manager not internet explorer)?

Have just migrated to macBook Pro from being a windows user for years. I don't trust backing up my important files to Cloud and would much prefer to back them up to an external hard drive as I used to on my Windows laptop. How can I do the same in my MacBook - I just want to 'right click' on a folder called 'documents' and copy everything over to the external drive. Can this be done?

It's called Finder and yes you can copy your documents to an external drive. The drive icons on the side of your desktop invoke finder windows. Inside are folders which can be displayed with details or icons. You can drag and drop just like windows.
If you don't have drive icons on your desktop then click anywhere on the desktop and look at the top menu bar. It will say "finder", now use the menu to select finder then preferences and turn on the icons. You should also have a square blue "smile" icon on the dock which invokes finder.

Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings - the data was invald (event ID: 1085)

Hi All,
I have a large domain and a long list of websites that are trusted using the following group policy setting:
Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer> Internet Control Panel > Security Page >
Site to Zone Assignment List
On all (XP/vista/win7) workstations across the domain I'm getting the following error:
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Event ID: 1085
Task Category: None
Level: Warning
Keywords: Description: Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings. Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings might have its own log file.
There's nothing either side of this error in the log that shines any more light on the issue.
I know which group policy object its applying these settings but cant find which of the entries in the site to zone assignment list is causing this issue. I looked in the
Group Policy/Operational log but all I see is the following entry which says "completed" but is logged as an error:
After some research I'm guessing that the issue is an incorrect wild-card. This is what my trusted sites list looks like (with names removed of course):
http://servername.*
*.internaldomain.com.au
*.domain.com.au
*.domain.*
*.externaldomain.com
*.domain.inernaldomain.com.au
*.domain.*
*.domain/name.*
*.domain.inernaldomain.au*
*.domain.com
Is there something obviously incorrect here?
Does anyone know where I could find an article that clearly outlines the acceptable wildcard syntax for the
"Security page\ site to zone assignment list" group policy? Ive read every forum post, website and blog I could find on the internet but nothing is clear and I wasn't able to find an MS document that steps it out. I've also changed the
existing list a number of times based on blog posts etc but had no luck.
**Please Note**
I dont want to change to a different method or have an intellectual debate re why I would have these sites/wildacrd/policy set. I'm really looking to see what entry is invalid and where the documentation is for this policy setting so i can make sure they are
always correct in the future.
thanks in advance for your time and assistance

UPDATE:
I disabled the original policy and created a new one with only one trusted site address in it. Then I logged into a clean test machine did some testing.What I found after a few hours of testing was; regardless of the site that I have listed in group policy
The HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Current version\Internet Settings\Zone Map Key registry entry is
always updated with that entry on the workstation. So the workstation's registry always updates the key with
*.sitename.com per the site that I have set in GP
If I run GPUPDATE /FORCE over and over again, on the same machine, under the same user account, using the same DC I get:
Failure, Failure, Failure, Success, Success, Success, Failure etc
I wasn't able to determine any pattern to the failures, I tried stopping some of the processes on that machine but didn't find anything that would make it fail/succeed reliably.
There is no AV or firewalls installed on my test machine
Anyone have any more ideas? I think I might install filemon and try to capture some more data unless there's a better tool?

Yes, and that's straight from my Microsoft TAM. As long as you include an asterisk inside those site-to-zone mappings, you'll continue to see them. The key is whether or not they're working. In my environment, I've seen complete success using the
http://*.domain.com, or
https://*.domain.com, no matter if the site is http://www.domain.com or
http://milk.does.a.body.good.domain.com. Despite the success, we continue to see the errors. It's much the same as Group Policy Preferences where you can apply a setting once, or repeatedly. If you apply
something repeatedly and it's already set, lookout for some complaints in the application log. It really is annoying. There's potential to play with the logging levels, but I'll admit that my experience ranks as "novice" in this specific section of group policy.
This link might get the creative juices flowing:

I see you've already read a number of articles including "a test case for troubleshooting those event IDs"... I sympathize with your efforts. I despise warnings and errors that I can't solve or don't want to see, but I've researched a number of them to death
and found that many are simply "normal". Uggg... I hope this helps, but please take my advice, as with anyone else's out here, with caution. I've seen some crazy recommendations. I saw a recommendation to install SQL on a DHCP server to get failover clustering
up and running. I hope the guy asking for help didn't listen to that one! : ) - josh

What Keys to press to get Windows 7 Task Manager on MacBook Pro ?

What Keys to press to get Windows 7 Task Manager on MacBook Pro ?

Thanks for the help. I got the Task Manager thru the taskbar, but I was and still am trying to it by key entry because that is what I am used to. My MBP has a delete key, unlike other keystroke attempt that I have
tried where a delete key isn't on a Mac. I also am a retired enggggineeeer so there's bound to be confusion because I am left-handed too.
Thanks again !!!!

Creating a Windows 7 OS desktop short cut for gmail with Firefox as browser, not internet explorer

I have an HP laptop that originally had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit OS. I want to generate a desktop shortcut for gmail that uses Firefox as the browser not internet explorer (8). If I use IE 8 as the brower and enter in gmail.com, gmail opens. I can right click on that page and create a gmail desktop short cut with IE 8 as the browser. If I try the same steps using Firefox as the opened browser, I can't create a desktop short cut by right clicking...it is not an option. I can't make Firefox my default browser for everything as my work programs/shortcuts require IE. Again, how do I create a direct gmail desktop shortcut that uses Firefox as the browser, not IE 8, when IE 8 has to be the default browser?

You could create a shortcut to open Firefox with a specific site using a command line argument.
You can copy the shortcut that you use to open Firefox, then right-click on it and choose '''Properties'''. On the shortcut tab, you will see the target, it will look something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
You can add gmail.com to this shortcut so it looks like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" gmail.com

Windows CS4 files will not open on the Mac

How come Windows CS4 files will not open on the Mac version?
Kevin

MCR wrote:
Where are you getting your info from as I have personally opened a Windows After Effects project on the Mac many times!
Anyway Adobe state they are cross platform so this is pretty missleading !
MCR, you asked in your previous post:
"Is that true of all CS4 project files like Premiere Pro and After Effects?"
I answered:
"No."
Which means After Effects and Premiere project files are cross-platform. But Encore projects are not cross-platform.
Is that clearer?
Regarding your last sentence, if you're referring to AE and PPro files, that is true. But it is not true of Encore project files.

Flash Player works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9

I've installed Flash Player 10.3 and it works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9. When I look in Manage Add-Ins I see Flash Shockwave but not Flash Player. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit). Safari is 5.0.5 and IE 9 is 9.0.8112.16421. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash Player and uninstalling Norton 360. Nothing has worked so far. Can you help?

Thank you for your reply. Shockwave is loaded and enabled.
The files in flash directory are: a folder called FlashPlayerTrust: file, flash10q.ocx: file, FlashInstall.log; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.dll; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.exe, file, install.log.
There is no file: NPSWF32.dll.
When I test the browsers I get no spinning logo in either Safari or IE9. Safari says: missing plug-in, where I think the logo should be. IE-9 says nothing at the same location.
Thanks.

Jumpy scrowl control with mouse.Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer. Problem fixed when I updated to 6. 0.2 but problems returned after about a week.. 0.2

Jumpy scroll wheel control with mouse. Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer.Even pushing the scroll wheel and trying to adjust for a smooth easy scroll the text stops and starts. Problem fixed itself when I updated to 6. 0.2 from an older version but the problem returned after about a week.. The problems go away when I go to web site and scroll but is back when I return to my home page (mozilla firefox)

Good post, and glad to hear you had a solid transition. Mine went well too, though I think I beat the rush.
It's worth noting that the vast and overwhelming majority of headaches people were experiencing were related to download and activation servers (as well as credit check servers for some mobile carriers) being crushed and overwhelmed.
To give you an idea of just how crushed, here are some numbers. In the last year, something in the neighborhood of 8 million iPhones have been sold. That's just shy of 22,000 per day. So the typical traffic is around 22,000 times a day, someone is hitting the server for update/activation.
This weekend, Apple sold 1 million iPhones. In other words, 333,333 phones per day. Holy crap!
As if that wasn't enough, there are 8 million of us out there with the first generation iPhone. Not only do we need to download the new firmware, but we have to install it. The installation process requires hitting the activation server again, to validate the phone. Mind you, not everybody upgraded this weekend, but a few million did. For the sake of argument, we'll assume that's 1 million a day. So, instead of the normall traffic of 22K phones a day, those activation servers got SLAMMED with 1.33 million activations per day.
It ***** that some people had delays and hiccups and a hard time and everything, but completely understandable. With luck things will run more smoothly from here on out.

(Problem) Grey empty Word window shows up while opening .doc or .docx files with virtual Internet Explorer 9

Hi,
First i'll explain what i did.
I've Thinapped Office 2010 Professional Plus SP2 with an Internet Explorer entry point. (Thinapp version 4.7.3)
Made some changes in the registry so .doc and .docx files will open in the virtual IE browser.
Here are my changes made to the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.8]
"BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.RTF.8]
"BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.12]
"BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.DocumentMacroEnabled.12]
"BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
"Word.Document.12"=hex(0):
"Word.Document.8"=hex(0):
Now i have this problem:
When opening a .doc or .docx file in the browser a ' download bar' appears.
My document opens in the browser as expected but, at the same time an empty grey Word window appears at the background.
The grey window shows not all the time when opening a .docx or .doc file , this is whats so strange about it.
Sometimes when i open the .doc or .docx file it opens without the grey empty word window. It seems like it's happening randomly.
I also tested it out with .xlsx files (Excel) but this go's all well.
Before i forget, this all runs on a Windows 7 Enterprise environment.
Does anyone know what causes my problem, or can anyone help me?
Kind regards,
Martijn

Mac Manager and Internet Explorer

If a mac manager user puts an "*" as the URL in Internet Explorer, the desktop and other folders (which they should not see) show up and are accessable.
This also appears to affect WGM user in OS X IE.
Does anyone know how to prevent this?
Robert.

Welcome to the forums.
This is a 'feature' of IE. I think it used to exist in Safari up until v1.3
In IE your users will see the files/folders they have permission to. Admin users will see more than your regular users (eg. var, tmp, etc, etc.)
I think you will need to drop IE if you want to prevent this behaviour.

I installed iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and now Internet Explorer crashes and won't run.

I installed iTunes on my Dell PC running Windows 7 and now Internet Explorer crashes and won't run. Are there any known conflicts, or likely issues that may be causing this?
I've rebooted, and the iTunes program seems to operate fine. I used it to upgrade my iPad's OS to 8.1.3.

They aren't related and shouldn't affect each other.

Flash not working in Windows 8.1 x64 with Internet Explorer 11

I updated my Windows 8 to 8.1 and Flash has stopped working in IE11. Flash still works fine in Firefox. I have tried to use the patches available from Windows, but the patch won't install because "not applicable to your version".
The Flash verification page says "You're not running Internet Explorer in Windows 8". I have tried all the troubleshooting I can find, and no positive results as of yet. Thanks...

Hi,
Please be aware that Flash player is embedded in Windows 8.1.

Windows 64-bit + OBIEE 11g + Internet Explorer 10

Not a question this time, just an observation about the interaction between OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 and IE 10 on 64-bit Windows.
After installing OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 on 64-bit Windows, the Analytics environment worked fine in IE 10. When starting BI Services from the Start menu everything was fine.
Prior to installing any patch sets, I installed the two Windows Services (Admin Server, Managed Server). At that point, the Analytics environment on Internet Explorer 10 would not work properly (Firefox was fine).
- The login screen has the User and Password fields all the way on the left of the screen, but I am able to log in to analytics.
- Clicking New...Analysis does nothing. No subject area list, no blank field where a list should be, just nothing. It's like clicking on air.
- Selecting Administration ... Manage Privileges takes me to the correct screen, but there is no scroll bar on the right side.
I accessed Programs and Features ... Installed Updates, and Uninstalled Windows Internet Explorer 10. This rolls IE back to IE 9.
After restarting the machine, Analytics 11.1.1.6.0 works just fine in IE9.
After installing the 11.1.1.6.9 patchset, Analytics still works just fine in IE9. After reinstalling IE10, Analytics is back to its same broken state.
Takeaway: Don't use IE10 with OBIEE 11g (at least through the 11.1.1.6.9 patchset) on 64-bit Windows.

Yup, same here using OBIEE 11.1.6.6 on Windows 7 64bit with IE 10. I do get the scrollbar in 'Manage privileges', however as a trade off my catalog will not load: the left tree only shows 'Shared Folders', the main screen does not load any of the content (just and endless loading animation), and both the 'open' and 'favorits' drop down menu remain empty.
