How to save my host file?

I use El Capitan and try to add an entry to my host file.

I am all good up to the point where I have to enter ^ O.

At that point, he opens a Finder window to register but I have no idea where to save to. I tried pretty much all the options available, but it cannot save anywhere. Help, please!

Are you talking about the file/etc/hosts?

What exactly do you do? Be careful. It's sensible things, and you should do not mess with it unless you know what you're doing. Please serious.

  • How to save a PDF file in Adobe so it appears correctly in the Firefox default drive?

    I have seen discussions on how to change your own settings of Firefox for poster correctly PDF files (documents to look at a PDF in Firefox 19 +) However, I'm looking for a solution on how to save a PDF file so that they display correctly in the new default Firefox reader. Our files PDF is bad looking and I can not go in the browser of each clients and difficulty settings (http://www.cherrybekaertbenefits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ACA_Infographic_072114.pdf). Meet them all parameters within the Acrobat Distiller is going to fix this without the Viewer to enter their own arrangements?

    Hmm, not a subtle difference.

    We did not have many experts PDF or Adobe Illustrator users post advice here; those who might be sprinkled around on other forums, blogs or support sites.

    I noticed when you view the properties of the PDF in Adobe Reader that the PDF has been created with optimization for active fast Web view. This is a feature that allows the progressive rendering of PDF files over a slow connection (http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/optimize-native-pdf-file-sizes.html#...). You can try to re - generate the PDF file with this feature turned off to see if that makes a difference?

  • Re: How to save the video file to a DVD-R for Equium A200

    I have the Equium A200. Someone can tell me how to save the video file to a DVD-R on my computer in order to use it later, or use it in windows movie maker and must not simply copy on another DVD-R right?

    My cursor also has disappered in the suite of windows media, that makes life quite difficult.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    You mean, you want to copy the original DVD movie to HARD drive?
    Well, you can copy the contents of the entire DVD to the HARD drive. It means that you have to copy a lot of data.
    I would recommend shrinking the DVD movies using a tool called DVD shrink.
    It would decrease the data and would also copy the content to the HARD drive.

    But if you want to use these files later in windows movie maker, so you must convert these using a 3rd party tool.
    Google a bit and you should find many free applications that would help you to do this work.

    Good bye

  • How to save the .xls file to a place predefined using TestStand

    Hello

    I wanted to write a test case using TestStand without using the LabVIEW screws. My requirements are-

    1. thanks to TestStand, read 'LRDC' and 'Tension' / information about the columns of an Input.xls template file and create respective local table variables accordingly in the Teststand sequence file.

    2 start a new worksheet that will bring together the results of the tests using the local table (created in step 1) as input variables. Criteria of pass/fail will be executed according to the values read from the engine ECM.

    3 allows the new worksheet as "Results.xls" appeal and it should be saved in a predefined location.

    From the points mentioned above, I am able to set up the point No. 2, but I'm still not able to understand "how to read the value of the template of Input.xls" and "How do I backup the file Results.xls in a predefined path.

    Please take a look at the enclosed sequence. I currently hard coded [...] Locals.RLOC and the inhabitants. [x] [0], but ultimately I want this info to get filled with Input.xls file.

    In addition, step 12/14, I try to use the "Save Excel" step, but I don't think this is the correct step. She asks for (optional) filename as input, and even if I said "Results.xls", while recording the file get saved by name as Book1.xla, Book2.xls.

    Can you please suggest any stage in which I can quote the path where the file will be saved with the name Results.xls?

    I use TestStand 2010.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Niraj.

    Try this:
    1 log in under an administrator account.
    2 disable UAC *.
    3 edit the file.
    4 turn on UAC.

    AFAIR you could also change with an admin account when starting mode safe.

    * = UAC user account control. Click Start, click Help, then search for help on UAC to see how toggle.

    There are several ways to do so.  If you use the vCLI exposed the hosts file for editing, so you can download it to your PC for management, update the file and then upload it to your host - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/esx_3i_rcli/vifs.php.  You can also activate the Mode (local or SSH access) Tech support and edit the file/etc/hosts directly.

  • How to save as Excel file type?

    There is no type of Excel file under the feature "save under".  Is to include the Excel file type under this list anyway?  Attached snapshot.

    Hi NiCoder,

    You have a number of different options to get data from the data portal DIAdem to Excel:

    1) record in TDM or PDM file and use the free Excel TDM importer to load the data into Excel

    2) Save to CSV file and use the Excel import feature built-in ASCII file to load the data into Excel

    (3) load the GPI - DLLS gfsexcel.dll and use the "file > save under...". ' option to export a data *.xls file

    (4) use an own VBScript to automate one of the above 3 options

    (5) use a VBScript custom to directly send each channel data of the data portal to a column of values in Excel via ActiveX

    (Option 1) and (2) are easier if you want a purely interactive solution.  Option 1) exports all data and all the properties values.  Option 2) exports all data values and the name of each channel in the data portal, but none of the other properties.  If you choose to use option 3), know in advance that this feature is limited to 255 columns and will not export custom properties, only the properties that existed in DIAdem 8.1.  (Option 4) can add in any custom properties that do not appear in option 2).  Option 5) can export all data and all custom, properties but there are also the slowest option and implies more programming.

    Let me know what sounds better to you,
