OS X :: Any Possibility To Hide (VAR / TMP And ETC) Alias Folders?
Jan 5, 2007I restored one disk onto another disk using Disk Utility and now I have three aliases on my hard drive called "var", "tmp" and "etc". I know what you're thinking... those are part of the Unix background in Mac OS X and I am smart enough to know that I cannot delete them, so my question is. How the heck can I hide them. I really don't like seeing them there. Other than that, my new drive is running fine.

May 12, 2010I was using KeyXing on my "old" G5. This was the best keyboard shortcuts generator I ever used. It was simply perfect to open some specific folders and put the window on the foreground using the keyboard only.
Sadly, KeyXing is no longer supported and doesn't work on Snow Leopard.
What is the best way to open specific folders using keyboard shortcuts ?
OS X :: How To Remove Alias (arrow) Symbol For Alias Icons
Jul 23, 2008I want to create stacks for my Applications and put them in the dock by type. Utilities, Music & Video, iLife, etc. I think what I will do is make aliases for all the applications and put them in subfolders separate from the Applications folder, so then I have these 3-6 subfolders in my dock as stacks that I can display in Grid or Fan mode. And I don't have to see all my applications in one jumbled Grid and search for them.
Yes, I know Spotlight or QuickSilver could access them differently.
My question is, when I have created this duplicate system with the aliases to the apps, how do I remove the Alias (arrow) portion of the icon so that they look just like the actual icon down in the stack (or in my subfolders, etc)?

OS X :: How To Get IChat Alias
Jun 8, 2009I realize that iChat has tie-ins with the address book, so you can take people from there, which I'm sure is great if you use the address book.
There's a standard aim protocol feature that allows you to set aliases for people on your buddy list that is NOT stored locally.
This means I can set their alias on AIM 5.9 in windows, reboot into Linux, open up kopete, see that alias, close kopete, open up pidgin, see that alias, reboot into OS X, start adium, see that alias, etc.

OS X :: Running Two Applications From One Icon / Alias?
Aug 4, 2010recently got myself a macbook pro and learning the OS still, I'm used to XP. I've found a program I want to run whenever iTunes starts, however I don't want either to run at startup. I know aliases are probably going to be the way to do it but have searched a lot and found nothing. On windows I know how to create an shortcut that when activated, it starts up two programs at once, I assumed there was something similar for OS X? Is there any way to create or alter an icon so it starts 2 programs at once? Ideally I'd have it in the dock and looking like iTunes, but it starts both iTunes and the other app.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Creating An Alias Via Terminal?
May 14, 2008I needed an alias from a PrefPane in my user area. I figured a symlink would do. So in Terminal I did a ln -s with the proper user directory and all looked good, it appears.
But the system threw an error when I tried to click it. It offered to repair the �alias� or delete it, so I opted to repair it, still didn�t work, errors. I tried twice then threw in the towel, enabled root, logged into the GUI and created an alias the normal way, that�s fine.
I�m still wondering about the command line procedure though. It would be a link from a user area to an area owned by root and I�m guessing that�s the issue.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Files Are Being Turned Into An Alias?
Apr 17, 2012I am having some trouble with some new iMacs that are running Lion. Sometimes they will turn a file into an alias. It replaces the original with the alias and will not allow me to access the file any longer like the original is completely missing. It seems to be random, it does not happen to one type of file or any one program. It has happened on our servers (when copying pdfs and saving indesign files) and also locally. I was able to find a temporary fix by downloading path finder and unchecking the "alias bit" option. This seems to fix the issue at hand, but I need a more permanent solution, or at least something I can tell my users to avoid doing.

MacBook :: Unwanted Alias Conversion?
May 18, 2012Last night I plugged in an external USB hard drive into my MacBook, and a ton of files were missing from it.

The date modified on the aliases says December 31, 1903 at 5:00 p.m. I am very scared these files have been lost...

OS X :: Unable To Access Folders / Folders Are Locked After Transferring Files From External Hd
Aug 28, 2009I bought a Seagate Free Agent Go Flex External drive. I transferred all my files from my previous external HD. When I went to access my folders on my external HD, the folders are all locked, with Sharing and Permission section in the Information "Everyone: Read" only! I can't change any of the information or move things! All of them are locked and "read only." I know how to change it, but only manually, individually. I have several hundreds of folders and I don't want to manually change all of them to "Read & Write." Is their a way to let me re-set the folders to "Read & Write" easily??

Software :: Adding Bookmarks And New Folders Under Multi-level Safari Folders?
Jan 20, 2004I have a question for the the Safari geeks out here (1.1.1 version 100.1, running on MacOSX 10.3.2): I have imported my bookmarks from a Mozilla install on a Linux box, based on a hint I found here with the debug options (worked great!!!), and I have the following questions related to adding a new bookmark (based on the fact that my bookmarks are organized in multi-level folders, e.g. OperatingSystems->Linux->Security->Firewall, etc.):
- when opening Bookmarks->Add bookmark ..., how could I possibly collapse all the levels, so that I can easily scroll, and open/drill down into the appropriate level of bookmarks, without having to scroll thrrough all (by default) expanded levels? ... especially critical as some sub-categories may match names, with different higher level bookmarks, thus having to make sure I am where I want to be (e.g. I have a Security folder under OS->Mac, as I have one under OS->Linux, and I have to remember which one I am under, if the "parent" is out of the scrolling window);
- is there any easy way to add a new "level/folder", through Bookmarks->Add bookmark, at the time of salvaging a new one, vs. having to open the Bookmarks in a new window, adding the folder, then returning to add the new bookmark?
I hope the above makes sense ... I am probably hopeful - also - that people may have already run into this before
