What is the correct format of filepath string on Mac os x?

I am trying to retrieve a file from Mac os x by:
File file=new File(filepath);
My boot volume name is "myVol", and filepath is "/myVol/opt/ab.txt". However, when I provide this path, the file is not found. I just figured out that if I use "/opt/ab.txt" the correct file can be found!!
Now, if I have a shared volume on my machine(I got it by menu "Go-->Connect to Server..."), whose name is "Mac Share", the filepath should be something "/Mac Share/test/123.txt". File file=new File("/Mac Share/test/123.txt") can not find the file. It looks like that it's trying to find 123.txt from /myVol/Mac Share/test directory, which doesn't exist. I even tried "//MacShare/test/123.txt", "Mac Share/test/123.txt", etc., and none of them worked!!
If you know the correct format to specify the filepath on Mac OS x, please give me help!!!!
Thanks in advance.

I don't know the exact answer to your question, but you can probably figure it out on your own like:
1) Create a File object that represents an existing file. Play around with the path until the file can be found.
2) Now that you have a File object representing a valid, existing path, use MyFile.getAbsolutePath() to see what the full path string is. MyFile.getCanonicalPath() might provide some answers as well.
Whatever getAbsolutePath() returns is the correct format for the file path string.

What is the correct format for localhost URL?

I've installed MAMP to run a local test server.
This appears to be working correctly with the URL in the following format:
http://localhost/folder/filename.php/
Where folder is the folder for the site located inside the Apache Document Root Folder - as defined in the MAMP preferences.
I have web sharing turned off.
Looking around the web it seems that the format for the URL should be:
http://localhost/~username/folder/filename.php
However, when I insert "~username" in the URL the browser can't find the page.
These are my first tentative steps in setting up a local test server and so I'm concerned that something might be amiss!
I've hunted around and can't find any documentation that clarifies the issue.
Can anyone clarify the issue or point me to appropriate documentation.
Thanks.

The second format is for a different location - in your Home folder. This would work if; a. Apache was installed using the Home folder; and b. if "folder" existed in the Home folder. Use the form you are currently using since it works.

What is the correct format to view 3D photos on 32TL515U?

I am able to view 3D video from a USB HDD, whether downloaded from YouTube or created by my own pair of webcams, using the Media Player on my 32TL515U (as long as the video consists of left and right frames side-by-side with no gap between them). When this works it looks great! Unfortunately I have tried everything I can think of, but so far found no way to display still image stereo pairs the same way in 3D. When I use the Photo Media Player to view a stereo pair it first presents the actual side-by-side pair in 2D, then when I activate 3D it automatically jumps into the 2D-to-3D mode, which just gives me a psuedo-3D view of the original side-by-side pair. If I try to change the 3D Settings from the Quick Menu, the only option available to change is the 2D-to-3D Depth.
Is it possible to view still photos (stereo pairs) in true 3D? If so, how? Is there a special format or trick that I must use to prepare or arrange my left and right images? Any tips would be appreciated.

When you export the videos out of iPhoto be sure to select Kind = Original. Otherwise you'll just get an image file of the first frame of the video.

1.4.2 - What is the correct way to format output in the java.io.PrintStream

With Java 1.4.2:
What is the correct way to format output in the java.io.PrintStream?
The following is incorrect, even though it is still used in the The JavaTM Tutorial at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/
System.out.formatThis returns "cannot resolve the method 'format'"
Any detailed suggestions or information is greatly appreciated.

The following is incorrect, even though it is still
used in the The JavaTM Tutorial at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/
The whole format thing has been introduced in 1.5. The tutorial also states it's been "updated to 1.5.".
That's all I've got to say for I don't know how you can format a PrintWriter, let alone a PrintStream, prior to 1.5. I'm not really sure there is any way. Any "legacy way", that is. There almost certainly are third-party API which achieve similar results.

What is the correct way to format file paths and names in the structapp file?

I am trying to create a structured application to export fm files as xml, and probably read the xml back to fm.
In the structured application file (structapp), I need to specify the locations of the various files (DTD, read/write, template, etc). I would like to place these files on a shared server so others can use the same structapp file (that is, a cop of it). What is the correct way to format the file paths and names? Can folders folder names and file names have spaces in them? I tried the following, for example:
\\serverName\shareName\folder 1\folder 2\file name.dtd
I use the same format for the template file and the read/write rules file.
When I try to save an fm file to xml, FrameMaker says that it cannot read the DTD; however, the resulting xml file appears to be well-formed. The DOCTYPE element in the resulting xml is formatted with forward slashes and spaces replaced with %20.
I tried using forward slashes and replacing spaces with %20, but then I get an error about reading the read/write rules.
NOTE: I have another structured application to read xml into fm. This application does not have a DTD file. The template and read/write rules files are specified as above. Except for complaining about a lack of a DTD, the application works fine; it even applies an XSLT in the process. Again, when I DO add a DTD to this latter application, I get the same complaint about not being able to read the DTD.
I am using fully patched FrameMaker 9 in Windows XP.
Thanks,
Van

Hi Van,
The XML parser and FrameMaker are not the same thing. The Error Log says which component created which message. The XSL processor is another option that can throw messages. The "\\server\path\some.dtd" syntax in structapps.fm seems to be fine for some tools, as Internet Explorer with XML tools successfully finds the DTD which appears as "//server/path/some.dtd" in the XML. But apparently Xerxes, the XML parser bundled with FrameMaker, does not like this notation.
If you have a path with a drive letter, "H:\path\some.dtd", FrameMaker turns that into "file:///H:/path/some.dtd". It seems, Xerces would like to see "file:/" in front of absolute paths.
This is what I have in structapps.fm:
Template: \\server\path\projecttemplate.fm
DTD: some.dtd
Read/write rules: \\server\path\projectrules.txt
DOCTYPE: …
Entity locations
Entity search paths
1: \\server\path\
In the structapps.fm I have the DTD without path information. The resulting XML (without XSL postprocessing) then contains just the file name with a relative path back to the book folder (when saving a book as XML). It therefore requires the DTD to be available at this place. I handle this using an event script that fires for NotePreSaveXml and copies the DTD to the folder of the original document.
As I always use XSL postprocessing and using XSLT1 it is not possible to have the doctype-system as a parameter I have this in my XSL stylesheet:
<xsl:output doctype-system="some.dtd" />
For the resulting XML the DTD is expected to be in the same folder as the XML file. This is handled by the same event script as above, it therefore copies the DTD to the source and the target folder.
Bottom line: If you want/have to use UNC paths, you have to do some programming to work around a FrameMaker bug.

I recently set up multiple accounts and when I was trying to figure out how to share files I messed up something in my documents. Everytime I open a doc from the ADMIN account, a box pops up that says "The file is not in the correct format" how to fix?

I recently set up multiple accounts on my imac, When I was trying to figure out how to share the documents I must have done something wrong. When logged into the Admin account, I open up any document and I get a message box that says, "The Document could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." What did I do and how do I fix it?

Without knowing what you did it is impossible to give advice on how to correct it.
If these were files you copied over from some other system then just Re-Copy them replacing the ones that are corrupted.
Other then that I suggest you Wipe the drive and start over with a clean reinstall of the OS and programs. Then if you want to share files to All Accounts place those files in a folder in the ROOT of the drive.

What is the correct syntax for using a variable in an ad hoc query?

Hi all
I am an occasional DB user and at the moment need to update about 1000+ records so that a certain column gets a unique value.
So I thought that I would use a variable for this.
I then built this kind of SQL statement for just a small subset of the records:
variable recNumber number;
exec :recNumber := 1;
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + recNumber
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
I get the invalid SQL statement error when attempting to execute above (besides the prompt that asks for a value which I would like to omit).
Anyway I also tried this one:
CREATE SEQUENCE seqCounter;
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + seqCounter.NEXTVAL
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
From this one I got the error ORA-01722: invalid number...I am guessing this comes because seqCounter is of type number and the COL_TO_BE_UPD is of type character...(?)
So what I would like to ask is what is the correct way to define and use a counter type of variable to append a number at the end of a character string?
Also another question that I would like to ask is that are variables that are used in ad hoc queries also called 'bind variables'?
Thanks muchly

If you want to append a unique number to a column then this would do it:
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD ||to_char(rownum)
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');

What is the correct way to add styling to drag-and-drop created calendars?

I have a working instance of a rich client calendar. I generated the view with the required fields (start, stop, provider, ...), put it into the App Module, and dragged it onto a JSF page to create a calendar.
Next I created an activityScope object in a class called CalendarBean (no inheritance)
Class CalendarBean()
private HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles> activityColorMap;
+..+
+public CalendarBean() {+
super();
activityColorMap = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
HashSet setEd = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setLen = new HashSet<String>();
setEd.add("Work");
setLen.add("Home");
activityColorMap.put(setEd, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
activityColorMap.put(setLen, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.RED));
+}+
+}+
Next, I linked this up as a backing bean and associated the ActivityStyles of CalendarBean to it:
+#{backingBeanScope.calendarBean.activityColorMap}+
I populated some records in the database with properties "Work" and "Ed', but they show default blue.
As I understand it, I need to do something with the getTags() method of the underlying CalendarActivity class, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.
Took a stab at creating a class, CalendarActivityBean, that extended CalendarActivity, and pointed all the CalendarActivity references I had to the new class, but it didn't seem to fire (in debug), and I got into trouble, when inserting records, with
public void calendarActivityListener(CalendarActivityEvent calendarActivityEvent) {
currActivity = (CalendarActivityBean) calendarActivityEvent.getCalendarActivity();
being an illegal cast
What is the correct way to add provider-based styling to drag-and-drop create calendars?
Ed Schechter

A colleague of mine was kind enough to solve this:
The calendar has ActivityStyles property = #{calendarBean.activityStyles}
CalendarBean looks something like this:
package com.hub.appointmentscheduler.ui.schedule;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.util.CalendarActivityRamp;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.util.InstanceStyles;
+public class CalendarBean {+
private HashMap activityStyles;
private String dummy;
+public CalendarBean() {+
+// Define colors+
activityStyles = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
HashSet setPending = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setArrived = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setApproved = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setCompleted = new HashSet<String>();
setApproved.add("APPROVED");
setPending.add("PENDING");
setArrived.add("ARRIVED");
setCompleted.add("COMPLETED");
activityStyles.put(setApproved, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.GREEN));
activityStyles.put(setPending, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
activityStyles.put(setArrived, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.PLUM));
activityStyles.put(setCompleted, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.LAVENDAR));
+}+
+public void setactivityStyles(HashMap activityStyles) {+
this.activityStyles = activityStyles;
+}+
+public HashMap getactivityStyles() {+
return activityStyles;
+}+
+}+
Now, go into the Bindings tab on the calendar page, double click the calendar binding, and specify the column you've defined as the calendar's Provider in the Tags dropdown.
Should show colors.

Cannot open a downloaded pdf file..."The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format."

I have had this problem several times lately: I cannot open a downloaded pdf file. The error message reads: "The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format." But, of course, it is a pdf file.

My MacBook Pro (2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5) is running OS X 10.9.4. Here is what happens when reading an online user manual that I want to save to the Desktop and read later as a PDF file on my iPad or phone. With Safari I will select "Export As PDF" and the file shows up on the desktop. Even after multiple trials, there will be a dialogue box indicating the file cannot be opened. If I check the file info, the size is "zero." Trying to save the file as a pdf using the Print menu yields the same results. I have tried both of these methods using Preview, Adobe Reader, and PDF Pen Pro. This strange behavior also occurred several weeks ago and I finally abandoned the effort. But when the same thing happens twice, it becomes an issue that needs to be resolved.

I just finished a large order page for a taxi friend. I would like to send the order with an iCal event attached to an email. He should only click on this new file, to enter this pickup order to his iCal ...
I am struggling with the format. In my CGI script I have the following format, where the $variables are replaced with the convinient strings:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:$ical_data_end
SUMMARY:$ical_summary
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:$ical_data_start
DTSTAMP:$ical_dtstamp
LOCATION:$ical_location
SEQUENCE:0
DESCRIPTION:$ical_comment
BEGIN:VALARM
TRIGGER:-PT1H
DESCRIPTION:Event reminder
ACTION:DISPLAY
END:VALARM
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
Does a time string like "20120608T123500" has to finish with a "Z" ? Do I need additional informations, like "UID:", "X-WR-ALARMUID:" ... In any case my iCal event sent by email is not adding to the iCal saying: "iCal can't read this calendar. No events have been added to your iCal calendar."
I would be grateful for any hint

Surprise Surprise!
I realized after heavy testing, that a DTSTAMP: is not needed.
But there is apparently a problem with the DATE-TIME format: Perhaps for other readers, which are in such a desparate situation, as I am since two days now!!! here some explanations:
The reference about iCal format you find in RFC 5546
DTSTART; and DTEND; have a time string like follows:
yyyymmddThhmmss
In the middle the big letter "T". But you have to add the time zone: for me it is the following:
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T062500
Now the big surprise: this time format with an hour over 12 ooops! I tested now once again like follows
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T212500
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T202500
changing the hh (hours) with one hour difference up until here. 10 Minutes again, iCal was freezing with hours over 19. I swear!
Ok to answer my original question: What is the minimal format of an iCal event, which you may attach to an email:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T212500
SUMMARY:Name
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T202500
LOCATION:MUC
SEQUENCE:0
BEGIN:VALARM
TRIGGER:-PT1H
DESCRIPTION:Event reminder
ACTION:DISPLAY
END:VALARM
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
But be aware, that this is buggy. Be carefull and have a nice evening

Applescript: isn't in the correct format?

Hi, i wanted to make a script that would randomly take an image from a fodler of life drawing models and landscript that i would then have to draw.
Everything seemed to be working fine with it but all of the sudden im getting 2 different messages whenever the script is run.
The first message i get is:
The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format.
The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format.
I went to the image that wasn't working and double clicked it and it opened fine in Preview.app so i wasn't sure why it wasn't working with the script but was with the double click.
the other message im getting is a permissions message but i can't seem to get that to come back up at the moment to copy and paste it here, but it looks like the normal "you do not have permission to view this file" sort of thing.
i've checked permissions and i've repaired them just encase but no issues or warning came up so im not sure what the issue with the permissions could be.
here is the script i have used to make it select and open a random image.
with timeout of 36000 seconds
    tell application "Finder"
        activate
        if (count items) of folder "MonkeyBook Pro:Users:Monkey:Documents:Guardian Classes:Drawing Tasks:" is 0 then
            display dialog "You Have Completed All Available Drawning Tasks, Please Add More To Folder" with icon stop buttons {"Open Folder", "Random Image Site", "Close"}
            set the button_pressed to button returned of the result
            if the button_pressed is "Open Folder" then
                tell application "Finder"
                    activate
                    open "MonkeyBook Pro:Users:Monkey:Documents:Guardian Classes:Drawing Tasks"
                end tell
            else if the button_pressed is "Random Image Site" then
                tell application "Safari"
                    activate
                    open location "http://photo.net/photodb/random-photo?category=NoNudes"
                end tell
            end if
        else
            activate
            set question to display dialog "Time For Some Drawing
Warning These Photos May Be Of An Adult Nature" with icon stop buttons {"Not Possible At The Moment", "OK"}
            set answer to button returned of question
            if answer is equal to "OK" then
                tell application "Finder"
                    set randomImage to some file of folder "MonkeyBook Pro:Users:Monkey:Documents:Guardian Classes:Drawing Tasks"
                end tell
                tell application "Preview"
                    open randomImage
                end tell
                tell application "Finder"
                    move randomImage to folder "MonkeyBook Pro:Users:Monkey:Documents:Guardian Classes:Completed Tasks:"
                end tell
            end if
        end if
    end tell
end timeout
Anyone got any idea why this might be happening?

I think the issue comes from the fact that the picture is moved to the Completed Tasks folder before Preview.app has had time to open it properly. So, if I'm right, adding a short delay before moving the picture should fix the issue.
Maybe you might want to try this simplified version of your script:
set DrawingTasks to POSIX file "/Users/Monkey/Documents/Guardian Classes/Drawing Tasks"
set CompletedTasks to POSIX file "/Users/Monkey/Documents/Guardian Classes/Completed Tasks"
tell application "Finder"
    activate
    if (count items of folder DrawingTasks) is 0 then
        display dialog "You Have Completed All Available Drawning Tasks, Please Add More To Folder" with icon stop buttons {"Open Folder", "Random Image Site", "Close"}
        set the button_pressed to button returned of the result
        if the button_pressed is "Open Folder" then
            open folder DrawingTasks
        else if the button_pressed is "Random Image Site" then
            tell application "Safari"
                activate
                open location "http://photo.net/photodb/random-photo?category=NoNudes"
            end tell
        end if
    else
        set question to display dialog "Time For Some Drawing." & return & return & "Warning: These Photos May Be Of An Adult Nature" with icon stop buttons {"Not Possible At The Moment", "OK"}
        set answer to button returned of question
        if answer is equal to "OK" then
            set randomImage to some file of folder DrawingTasks
            tell application "Preview" to open randomImage
            delay 2 -- adjust to fit your needs
            move randomImage to CompletedTasks
        end if
    end if
end tell

What's the correct way to set up an external style playing keyboard

Hi
what's the correct way to set up an external style playing keyboard?
i want the keyboard to use the Logic's voices, and also to record the midi that is being inputed.
I can do it on One Channel, but when I selct multiple channels, all the channels seem to play all of the input data!!!
anybody??

Check the formatting. It need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). This is also known as HFS+.
FAT32 and NTFS formatting will not work with iMovie.
If necessary, you can reformat using Disk Utility.
Make one large partition. No need for multiple partitions.
Do moves or copies to the external drive through iMovie as detailed in iMovie Help. If you move Events in the Finder, they may become unlinked from the projects that use them.

What is the correct way to destory a Thread?

Just wondering what is the correct way to destroy a thread? I am currently using the stop() method, but i noticed that it has been depreciated (along with other methods used to destroy a thread) when i looked at the thread documentation. Since this is so, then how can one correctly destroy a thread? Thanks in advance for the help.

There is an awful lot of bad advice in this thread about what null does. Please in future check on your own with working code before offering up misguided and very wrong advice. Particularly when your advice contradicts that previously given.
Please compile and run the following
public class Test implements Runnable{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    Test test = new Test();
    Thread t= new Thread(test);
    t.start();
    // have delay wait a few seconds to demonstrate
    Thread.sleep(3000);
    System.out.println("Setting reference to thread to null");
    t = null; // what does this do?
    // jack all
    System.out.println("Exiting main");
public void run(){
    while(true){
      System.out.println("Hello from test thread!");
      try{ Thread.sleep(750); }catch(InterruptedException iDontCareAboutThis){}
}This will output the following
C:\>java Test
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Setting reference to thread to null
Exiting main
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!And continues on endlessly. Setting the reference to null is NOT an answer to this problem.

What is the timeline format used in PremierePro CC?

I was trying to help someone because whenever they set their export to match sequence settings AME was doing mpeg 2 encoding but i can't really find anything that states or lets you set the sequence format in the project. i can't believe MPEG jus actually the correct format to be editing in can anyone help shed light on whats happening here? thanks!

so in both cases the first clip dropped is identical a prores 4444 intro followed by an h.264 mp4 file created by xsplit and one created by a hauppauge rocket pvr both are 1080p @ 29.97 fps. no effects but there is some volume adjustment. for some reason only the xsplit ones default to mpeg 2 output when selecting match source. for the pvr using that setting shows an mp4 output and encodes in basically 1 to 1 real time. using the match source on the xsplit generated files takes about 4 to 1 longer than real time. while setting an h264 output for the xsplit files does shorten the export a bit it still about 3 times as long of an export as compared to the exports with projects containing the files from the pvr.
