Why won't cloaking hide the files?

The title pretty much says it all. Why won't cloaking hide the files?
I don't want to se the files I am cloaking at all when I cloak them, but they still appear, just with a red line through them.
How do I rid myself of this eye sore?
Thanks,
Cy

That much I understood. I would think that there would be some option that would extend cloaking to include removing it from view.
In my case I use a versioning software that produces a file in each directory. (.MySCMServerInfo)
It's a file I do not need to see or edit for any reason what-so-ever. So when the term cloaking is used I naturally think of hiding something from view, not an operation.
I don't think I am the only person that feels this way. Or am I?

When I download a Word file from a classroom management database, why won't Firefox open the file without me having to save it?

I have been using Firefox for many years with Blackboard products. In the last six months or so, when I try to download a student's file that is a Word .docx, it won't let me open it without saving it. Word .doc files work fine. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer, but of course IE is clunky, slow, and doesn't fill in forms. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if I can supply more details.

Two possible problems. 
1. BlackBoard never supports the latest version of Firefox, for a few reasons. Some schools don't run the latest version of BlackBoard Vista or Campus Edition. Also, BlackBoard upgrades seem to be tied to the "school year" cycle, the changes they make to improve and update their software seem to be rolled out for the fall term so that changes aren't being made during the normal "school year" and possibly causing problems for the schools. That also may be a function of their contract / payment cycles with the schools that use their programs.

Select the link for the version of WebCT Vista or Campus Edition ''(version info is usually at the bottom of each page, in the footer)'' that your school is using, then see which version of Firefox is compatible.
Depending upon which version of WebCT your school is using, you will have to use Firefox 3.6.x, Firefox 3.5.x, or Firefox 3.0.x when accessing the Blackboard site.
My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 4.0.1 for all other web browsing.

2. Firefox uses a Plugin ( you have Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator installed) to open files that aren't "internet files", like word processing documents. 
I can't help you directly with Office, as I use Open Office, but there should be a preference for that Plugin within your Office preferences or options under something like Internet, to have those files '''Display documents in browser'''. 
Or see this to make sure you have your "file type" set correctly.

I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

How did you do this move? Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

How to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version). You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image. You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export). Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets. You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command. It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

HT2476 why wont my mouse drop the file in to the folder

Out of the blue, my AppleTV went to a screen that had two icons, Computers and Settings. Why won't it go the the usual TV screen with viewing options? Help!

Out of the blue, my AppleTV went to a screen that had two icons, Computers and Settings. Why won't it go the the usual TV screen with viewing options? Help!

Here's what finally worked for me with Apple TV 3rd generation. Out of the box, when setup with wi-fi, it breezed through without any issue. As soon as I powered down and connected it to another tv (same wi-fi network), it got stuck at setting date/time. The remote would help in getting out of it, but the home would only have "Computers" and "Settings" and pretty much useless except for AirPlay. Here's what I did to resolve this:
1. On your main router, temporarily disable the firewall or set it to the lowest setting allowable (a reboot of the router maybe required).
2. Restart apple tv via the "restart" option in the "General" option in the main settings menu.
3. It should breeze through and not show the "Setting date/time" screen.
4. Once it loads up properly, turn on your fire wall as before (a reboot of the router maybe required).
I think it worked for me out of the box, but auto-update to the latest software introduced this bug. So, everytime apple tv tries to synch with the time server, this issue will come back. To disable this, I turned off the "auto time synch" option in Settings -> General.
I am fairly confident that I'd be able to use steps 1 through 4 anytime this recurs. Possible scenarios causing recurrence of this issue:
1. Unplugging the power to apple tv or power failures.
2. OS updates.
3. Restoring apple tv using "Restore" or via micro-usb and iTunes to the lastest OS.
Hope this helps. Please post if this works for you.

Why Coherence mandates to name the file as hibernate.cfg.xml ???

Wondering Why Coherence mandates to name the file as hibernate.cfg.xml , otherwise it wouldn't work
We use Spring 2.5, Hibernate 3.2, Coherence 3.5
• Currently we have created hibernate.cfg.xml to make coherence work whereas we would like to leverage existing spring configuration file
• We wrote separate DAO’s i.e. xxxCoherenceDAO in addition to exsisting DAO’s. We would like to inject NamedCache into **CoherenceDAO
• How to leverage Spring to start the CacheFactory i.e. we would like to avoid the following code in our XXXCoherenceDAO's
NameCache customerCache = CacheFactory.getCache(com.xx.Customer.class.getName());

Take a look at the [JavaDoc for HibernateCacheLoader|http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/coherence/352/com/tangosol/coherence/hibernate/HibernateCacheLoader.html]. It has several constructors that allow you to either provide the name of the Hibernate configuration or provide a SessionFactory created externally.

Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle ...

Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle fire hd?

The question has been answered but not that you like to hear.
You have been using an iPhone since 2011 with an iCloud ID that is not yours, how do you explain that?
I saw a message that said your phone was lost and erased, and I was asked to activate my iPhone with my Apple ID.
Since you know it was lost but not by you, you have an iPhone that is not legitimate. Your receipt may get you out of trouble with the police but that doesn't make the iPhone yours.
Activation Lock cannot be bypassed and if the your story is true then you should sort it out with Best.

Why won't Apple activate the FM receiver feature of the Broadcom BCM4335 chip?

Why won't Apple activate the FM receiver feature of the Broadcom BCM4335 chip?
I paid for it, it uses less energy, less bandwidth, during emergencies, we would have radio access & FEMA would like it activated.
I asked an Apple tech on chat and they said there is no FM capability on the phone. I asked if my iPhone has a Broadcom chip and they ended the chat. I had to give them my phone number twice, but they never called back with me back to answer the question. According to NPR the chip is activated in other countries.

could it be because the iphone6 don't have an Broadcom BCM4335 chip?

Why won't gmail attach the new pages files

So I looked this up and I found that gmail sees the new pages files as executables and so therefore, won't attach them. I've no idea what that means other than that it's very inconvenient.
What's the deal?

Because they are directories, not ordinary files. If you want to attach one of these new Pages v5+ documents to Gmail, you first need to compress it, so that it has the .zip extension. You can do this by right-clicking the document icon, and from the contextual menu, select Compress.... You could reverse this compression by double-clicking the .zip file icon in the Finder.
IOS 7 Mail knows what it is, and if you tap this compressed file attachment, it will uncompress and open in IOS Pages v2.1. Apple OS X Mail knows it is compressed, and in Quick Look, you will be told it is compressed, and given the option to uncompress it. This done, Quick Look displays the content, and provides the opportunity to open the file in Pages v5+. It can also be saved as a regular Pages (directory) document.
This isn't hypothetical as I have tested both paragraphs with the web-based Gmail, Apple Mail, and IOS Mail.

Why won't CS4 open the CR2 RAW files from my Canon G11?

I am running Snow Leopard V6.2. I have Adobe Design Premium with what I thought were all of the most recent updates loaded but when I tried to open one of the RAW files from my Canon G11 in PS CS4 it did not recognize the file type and it and would not open. Wouldn't CS4 premium update also update PS CS4 with all the most recent files including ACR and the latest definitions?
What version of ACR would have the latest RAW definitions for the G11 and how should it be loaded?

Bennett Richards wrote:
What is the correct way of installing the ACR plugin? Just ru

This is what is written on that page:
To open a DMG file:
Double-click the file. This will open Disk Copy, which mounts the image on your desktop.
Manual installation on Mac:
1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open the download file and double-click Setup, and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.
Is that so difficult?

Why won't Parallels run the program?

OK so I'm an teacher and recently I've recieved new software to try out with my classes and obviously it won't run on my laptop (os Mountain LIon). So I started to investigate the options.
1 Make partitions and run two os's at separate times. NOT working anymore not sure why.
2 Use bootcamp to run the two os's. Haven't tried yet.
3 Use a virtual machine. After investigating I chose to use Parallels 7. It downloaded and seemed very user friendly and even gave me the option of a trial windows 8. I installed it and the program wouldn't work it needs to be a windows 7 so I found one and it wouldn't work either then tried to install Snow Leopard. I tried with the disc that came with my laptop didn't work said that only server versions are supported so I found a server version downloaded it and installed it but it won't even give me the option of seeing the disc within Parallels and my file sharing isn't working with it.
So that's where I'm at, I've been working at this for a week now, reading around and trying new things but still not sure why none of them run the program.
A MichaelLax has posted a detailed way to install snow leopard but I'm not sure why all the terminal parts are necesary if that's what I need to do I'll do it but I don't understand why.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
I'm not looking to use the Parallels or any program much only to acces the information that they've given me to see if I can use it.

OK so here we go I installed windows again and everything seems to be working as normal so I put the disc in and I took screen shots but it won't load them for some reason but anyways here it is. These are the files and what happens when I click on them
Audio file     audio files always able to access
Video file     same as audio
xSprocket     several worksheets and things like that
xtras          more program files
autorun      when I click on it saws notepad is too small I need a bigger editor
readme      system requirements
TN_active teach file     when opened on the mac side it says its a powerpc product it won't open and on the windows side it switches to mac and opens stuffit expander (the compression thing I told you about) and then creates a file with nothing in it
TN_active teach application when I open it on windows it says its not a valid win32 application and on mac side it switches to windows and says the same thing
the link you posted BobTheFisherman was very helpful except for the fact that I need to install it first but I tried anyways and the indicated files had not been made yet.
In the end though I've come to the conclusion that it is not a Parallels or mac problem but simply one of the software I'm going to look for other windows programs to test how they work though just to prove my hypothesis I thank both of you for your efforts on helping me.

Why doesn't OSX hide its files?

Greetings!
After surfing the boards for the last couple of years I have come to the conclusing that too many folks just move files, apps, folders and the like too much. (We probably got that from OS9) Why didn't the programmers for OSX "hide" all the system files that shouldn't be moved around? I see a lot of "oh yes I did move this library to there" or I changed this or that. Looks like they would have made it more difficult for newbees to mess things up. Tom

Hi Tom,
Darwin is the operating system and much of it is hidden. You don't see the mach_kernel or directories (folders) such as bin or sbin in the Finder. Then many files in the System directory are wrapped in bundles. Bundles are a way to present many files as one. A bundle is really a folder or directory. The permission model prevents your "carte blanche" perception on how system files can be moved or modified. Users must elevate their status to the root user to move or modify system files. Any modifications to the permissions model would make the OS more difficult to use. I guess the System directory was left visible to comfort users that some reference within the file system is running their computer.

CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD filewon't print because the print dialog box won't appear altho the file properties appear to be the same as other files that do print.

CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD file won't print because the print dialog box won't appear after selecting File > Print. Then "Print" becomes grayed out. The file properties such as permissions, are the same as other PSD files that do print. This file also cannot be converted to Adobe PDF, which is not offered as choice under "Save as", whereas other can be. I've exited, reopened Photoshop, restarted computer, checked out other CS6 PSD files which do print, nothing changes. The 52 MB file has been flattened. OS is Windows 7. Thanks for any suggestions.

Sounds like the printer driver is having some problems.
Try holding the space bar down when you select Print (which makes the print dialog NOT load previously used settings).

HT3775 why can i not open the file format MPEG_4(mp4) on my mac with Quick player?

i can not open the email with file format MPEG_4(mp4) which is one of the contents on the file format listing , supporting by Quick time player but still can not be opened . !!!!!!!!! by the way my quick time player version:10.2(603.6)

The file extension, .mp4, .wmv, .mov, etc. really has no bearing on whether it can play or not. It should, but that is not the way it works. The file type is merely a wrapper around the media content. That media content can be encoded with lots of different encoding algorithms. If it is encoded with a scheme that Quicktime doesn't understand, then it won't play in Quicktime Player.
You might try installing the Perian plugin for Quicktime. It might have the codecs necessary to decode the media content.
Another option is to use Video LAN's VLC. It plays a lot of things.
