What makes a folder Quarantined?

Files which are downloaded from the internet are quarantined - they have the extended attribute com.apple.quarantine.
But what makes a folder quarantined?
When I do ls -la@, I get:
drwxr-xr-x@ 6 marcus staff 204 20 May 22:10 foo
com.apple.quarantine 46
It doesn't seem to make the folder behave differently, but I don't like inexplicable behaviour!

I want to make a folder "A" and save to disk (appendable), then as and when required I wish to append to that folder files "B" and later on files "C" and so on. What would be the way to do this.

It's not clear how what you're describing is different from the way all folders work.

Tell AS to make new folder one level up

How do I get AS to make a new folder one level up from myFolder i.e.
set myFolder to ¬
(choose folder with prompt "Where are the image files for which you want to change exif data ?") as reference
make new folder at myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}
makes a new folder inside myFolder, but how do I tell it to move up one level from myFolder and make a new folder?
Thanks.

"AS?" What's that?
myFolder? What application are you using? I think you are in the wrong forum.

How do you make a folder on my home screen? It doesn't seem to be liking the simply drag. Why?

I have tried to make a folder on my home screen the way everyone is saying I should but it just isn't working. I don't see what I am doing wrong. Is there a button I have to push to make it happen? Thanks so much.

Just hold down on one icon until they all start to wiggle, then drag two on top of each other. If the app you're trying to folderize doesn't work, try a different one. Some of them will not easily go into a folder on their own. (for example, if you want to tuck newsstand into a folder, you have to use two other app icons to make the folder then quickly drag newsstand into that folder)

Can you make a folder and it's contents temporarily "invisible"---sort of?

Can I make a folder and it's contents, temporarily invisible? I don't mean I don't want to see it. I mean I want to make it such that if an automated process was scanning my computer, it temporarily wouldn't see that folder and it's contents.
For instance, let's say I have a folder on an external firewire drive containing video files. And I'm going to run a batch process or automation that says: "Look at everything on that external drive and move it to another designated location"...but I don't want it to move one folder. And I have several folders on the external drive and I need to keep making some of the folders "visible" to the process or "invisible".
I know I can physically move the individual folders to another location temporarily, run the process, and then copy them back...but I'm trying to determine if there is anything built into OSX 10.6 that
lets you identify a folder and temporarily make it and it's contents "invisible" in the sense that I described above.
To be clear, I don't need the folder to actually disappear...I just need it to be "jumped over" or ignored by any batch processes that would be scanning the external drive, and after I run the process, I want to make it "visible" again.
Thanks in advance for any input.

One question about this....I notice that there are three READ/WRITE options:
One for my particular user name, one for STAFF and one for EVERYONE.
Do I need to change all three, or just EVERYONE to WRITE.
You normally wouldn't want to change the rights to your name in a situation like this. What you'd want is to have the other app logon to your computer with a different username, (you have to create the additional user in System Preferences,) then change the privileges for that username. This would eliminate the need for you to have to change the settings all the time.
In addition, if you make a mistake, you could prevent any access by your username, which means you'd have to logon as some other administrative user in order to fix your username's privileges. This is why I said I wouldn't recommend this as a first choice.
And are there any keyboard shortcuts for this?
No, but I imagine you could create an Applescript to do this. But as I said above, if you have the process use a different username, then set the appropriate privileges for that username, you wouldn't need to change the rights all the time. Just set them once the first time.

What does the folder with a question mark mean?

When I power on my black Macbook a white screen appears with a folder with a question mark flashing. what does the folder with a question mark mean? I just replaced the hard drive. When I put the install disc in the cd drive makes a very loud whirring noise then eventually the disc pops back out. Any ideas?

You will need to reinstall:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

How to make a folder invisible of a particular user

Hi All,
I want to make a folder/report invisible for a particular user, but I want to access that report through hyper link of another report.
Is this possible?? can anyone suggest me?

Hi,
What version are you on?
If you deny access to the folder in which the report is placed the user should not be able to see the report. If you then provide view access to the user on the report explicitly (you might have to turn off inheritance for the object), then this should override the deny and you shouldbe able to hyperlink to it. So the user has access to the report but has no way of getting to it, except through your hyperlink
Let me know how you get on
Regards
Alan

Move up one level in path and make new folder

How do I get applescript to make a new folder one level up from myFolder i.e.
set myFolder to ¬
(choose folder with prompt "Where are the image files for which you want to change exif data ?") as reference
make new folder at myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}
makes a new folder inside myFolder, but how do I tell it to move up one level from myFolder and make a new folder?
Thanks.
Pedro

You can use statements such as the following ones:
*tell application "Finder" to make new folder at container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
or
*tell application "Finder" to make new folder at container of container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
and so on…
And if you want the folder “myFolder” to be contained by the folder “Gallery JPEGs”, use the following statements:
*tell application "Finder"*
*make new folder at container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
*move myFolder to the result*
*end tell*

How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies

How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection? I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
pshultz

It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

How do u make new folders in mail when I press edit only move delete or mark comes up nowhere can u make new folder

I can't make new folder in mail on my normal acc or icloud

If you are in desperation for folders you could set up an imap account such as Gmail or Hotmail, create whatever folders you want, add the account to your iPad, send the emails you want to categorise to your new email address and manage them from within. You could also consider gradually making the new email address your future one thus eliminating the need to be always forwarding and thus creating duplicates in a sense. Might be a bit clumsy but it is a work around!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can also try to remove them from the images folder and the My videos folder, because this is where the Gallery will look for pictures and videos, and put them in another folder then reorganize them in sub folders within your new folder

Question: What makes of projectors can be connected to MacBook

Question: What makes of projectors can be connected to MacBook, also what kind of cable do I need?

Hi,
Modbus is restricted to addressing 247 devices on one data link, which limits the number of field devices that may be connected to a master station.
However, if you want to increase the number of slaves, you may use MODBUS/TCP.
Here is a link that might help you:
http://modbus.control.com/thread/1026247380.
The Schneider electric 174CEV30010 Modbus to Ethernet bridge is capable of addressing Modbus slaves from 1 to 247.
The actual number of devices which can be physically connected depends on the medium used and not on the fact it is Modbus.
Some examples:
RS232 is a 2 device point to point connection when using copper, however when using fiber (or other modems) it is possible to connect up to the maximum of 247 devices.
RS485 is multi-drop and supports 32 devices on a single network. When a repeater is used, on copper wire, the number of devices can usually be increased to 64.
Hope this helps.
