Download the files from the folder on the external drive
I have this script that opens the most recent file in a folder.
However I have now moved to an external drive.
I thought I would use this line
last element of the value latestFile (sort (get the files in the folder "HotFolderA" of the "Dropbox folder" from the folder "CloudStorage" in the folder "Volumes" of the file ((path to the startup disk))) by creation date) as alias
but that
Result:
error "' Finder has been an error: cannot get the file \"Volumes\ ' startup disk. " ' number-1728 of the folder "Volumes" of startup disk
How can I do it keep this method?
Matt
tell application "Finder" set latestFile to last item of (sort (get files of folder "AA" of folder (path to desktop folder)) by creation date) as alias set fileName to latestFile's name open latestFile end tell
You used the backslash \ (like Windows) instead of the slash /.

Select the drive in the Finder and select the get info in the file menu.
If it is the Windows NT file system format, install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer or reformat the hard disk.
If it's in a different format, choose Utilities in the Finder Go menu, open disk utility and use the repair disk function or first aid in this regard.

Yes, normally you can use an external hard drive in safe mode.
Boot to safe mode and open Windows Explorer (double-click on my computer).
You should be able to see the external hard drive, should be the letter E: or F: depending on how much other disks you have.
You need to find the folder where your Itunes Music is maintained.
"In Windows XP and Windows 2000, click the sign more next to the folders and drives to navigate. The default location is
\Documents and utilisateur\Mes Documents\My Music\iTunes Settings\nom.
http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT1364
From there its all just find the folder, copy and then navigate to your external hard drive and paste.
I tried to locate the itunes library file to try to move it, but couldn't move anything to my external dr (h) he brought under options in safe mode
You should not try to boot from the external hard drive if that's what you do.
Hope this helps

Please help, I downloaded 3 files from Adobe for CS3, but one of the .exe files cannot be due to due to a (file archive part missing, all parties must be in the same folder message)
Hi Francis,.
Make sure you download both files from there. https://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/CS3-product-downloads.html
Compare the size of the file and you will have to perhaps disable all anitvirus during download and install it.
Thank you

When you manage files in iCloud, from an iPad, I can move to the files from one folder to another, but not in the Preview file. Secondly, when I check the file Preview to iCloud from Mac content is so different when you look at an iPad. Why is the gap between the iPad and the Mac?
Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing.

Original title: folder permissions to move or copy.
I have a problem that I'm sure has a simple explanation but I don't know. I have a folder in the tree that whenever a user moves a file from one folder to another, the permissions do not update. Yet if a user copies the folder to the same location, permissions to update as expected. This only happens with XP. If I try with Win 7, if the user moves or copies, update permissions.
Has anyone seen this or have an explanation?

How can I overcome the Abobe Reader message whenever I try to download a file from a web site: Adobe Reader outdated! Subsequently, I am unable to download and print the file
You do not give us the exact words, but I guess that this message appears on the screen, like on a regular PDF with this message. If so, ignore the message and save the file in the usual way on your desktop. Now open in Adobe Reader.

After downloading my file from the word document is mostly gibberish. Why? The service used "exportPDF.
Hi shelbyrn,
The quality of conversion is really depends on the quality of the original PDF file. Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert text and shape... | Adobe Community. Do you know what who or how the PDF was created?
You can have better luck by disabling OCR as described in this paper: How to disable the optical character recognition (O... |) Adobe Community.

I used to download pictures from a card reader, copy them, and then stick it on my external hard drive. Since El Capitan of download, it does not work - I can download and copy, but can not stick to the external hard drive. I can't set up the files on the external hard drive either. However, I can download what is already on the external hard drive without any problem.
How the external drive is formatted?

This seems to be a common problem:
Recently I had to reinstall Win 10 & then itunes. All the songs are on an external HD iTunes does not show a large number of songs that are in the folder on the external drive. I copied the .itl to the new itunes folder. I also tried holding down - from itunes shift - select a library. Any ideas how to be able to see the songs in the itunes on the hard drive folder in the itunes library?
Thanks in advance
Steve
See make a library of portable split. Have you copied the correct .itl file, or should you connect an external hard disk .itl file? If you can find the correct .itl, it should have all your songs and playlists. See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library when the library has been altered for the first time with the new system. If you have to start creating your new library in an iTunes folder to the root of the external drive and move all the media inside... \iTunes\iTunes Media before adding to the library.
