OS X Technologies :: Mdls Command Returns Null For Ringtone Duration
Apr 18, 2012
When I run the mdls command on a ringtone file to fetch its duration, the output is always null. For e.g running
mdls -raw -name kMDItemDurationSeconds SomeTone.m4r on the terminal returns (null) as the output. When I check the info for the ringtone in iTunes, I see that it's 14s long. Same issue when I try to fetch the total bitrate for the ringtone using mdls. It also returns null. Why does mdls fail ?

I can change the volume level from the command line using this command, For example: osascript -e 'set Volume 3'. Is there a way to detect the current volume level using a similar command and a way to assign it to a variable? And just for good measure, are there similar commands for detecting and setting the current balance?

Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
I'm running bash.
I have a long command line:
/Users/mac/Sites/bithoist/BitHoist-PPC-MacOS-X -offset 0x0000 /Users/mac/Sites/bithoist/commandLine/bins/aSunbird.bin -stdout -hex -r 0x0000,0x002f
I'd like to move quickly to the last 0 in -offset 0x0000.
I know about control + a and I found out about esc + f. I do not find pressing esc then f then esc then f that easy. I'd like to at least be able to hold down the esc key and press f's.
Could I redefine a word to only be " " (space) in the terminal? Not sure I like this idea.

Trying to run the following command as a Launch Agent (OS X 10.7): /usr/bin/find /Users/username/Documents/Dropbox/Public -type f -mtime +2 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -r
Created a plist file (reproduced below) and saved to ~/Library/Launch Agents, but the command isn't executed either at the specified time or when the agent is loaded via launchctl. If I change the command to a simple Applescript test: osascript -e 'tell Application "Finder" to display dialog "hello"'
It runs correctly as a launch agent when loaded and as the specified time Which means there's something wrong with the first command (find). But the command runs as written when executed manually in the terminal.

Is anybody know if there is a way to switch to a particular "input source" (keyboard) with a command line? (or with Apple Script).
Not switch to the next or the previous, but to a specific one. Like switch to "Canadian French" or "Us English".

I am working on my thesis data where I have to create a lot of different graphs, all of which have cells where there was no sampling done and thus, no data. I would like to display a symbol or indicator in the graph where there is no data rather than it appearing as a zero value. I do not want to go through after creating the graph and importing it into my word doc and place text boxes with symbols where there is no data.

However... and there is always an however.... when I first had it, I saw a battery life of 5.04 hours. However, after a few days, when I am now charging the battery, I am seeing only about 3.5 hours.
What are other people are getting.
I have let the MBA run totally flat before recharging, which i guess it probably important.

Whenever I try and open up my energy saver preferences a pop up appears "Could not install (null) preferences pane". The energy saver preferences is not in my system preferences anymore I have to spotlight search to try and open it. I have the highest update on all of my settings for my macbook pro (one of the original 13" pros from when they changed the macbook unibody to the macbook pro). I've tried googling and nothing really substantial comes up or I just cannot understand it. I've tried repairing disk permissions etc.

Right now I'm trying to make an anime music video for my younger brother. I've taken some of the clips from my dvds and i've imported them already. Also I've divided the clips into certain parts. I want to edit the duration of each clip but I don't know how. I'm using iMovie HD by the way since I have a iBook G4

In my cookies list I see that some cookies have a duration of anywhere up to 50 to 60 Years! Is there some way to limit the duration of cookies, or limit them to just the current session?

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iPhoto and adjust the duration for individual slides so I can get them to be more in sync with the music. Problem is, the seconds counter won't change in the "Adjust This Slide" menu. I'm able to click the arrows to increase/decrease seconds, but the value never changes. I've made sure that I don't have the "fit slideshow to music" option selected, tried it with different slides, tried with different slideshows, turned off all the options in the slideshow settings menu, turned off the ken burns effect, added more songs to the iTunes playlist for the slideshow, changed the slideshow format, restarted iphoto, rebooted, and toggled every other setting I could find, but still can't change the slide duration.

I have several clips in the Timeline that I want to change the duration. I just want one frame taken away from each clip. So I click on the clip in the Timeline, then Control+D to show duration in the Dashboard. I type in the new duration I want, which is one frame less. It takes one frame off the Back of the clip. How do I get it to take the frame off the Front of the clip?

I have made a book in iPhoto, which I can export as a movie to include in iDVD. Where can I edit the duration that a page is shown during a slideshow? With a 'normal' iphoto slideshow this is made possible by settings.

Is there a way to preview/display the runtime/duration of a video file in Finder? I noticed that if it is a .mov file, then you can choose to display the file's duration in Icon view if you edit "View Options," Column view and with the Command+I shortcut, but with a few other video file types I've looked at this data isn't available.

There have been a couple of discussions about third party retailer returns on bto iMacs and I was wanting to clear it up. I would like to get an i7 at macmall and use the $150 discount. I believe I still have to pay tax in il though. Anyways, if I get it and tere are a couple dead pixels next to each other in the center, I just have to send it into apple and have them repair it under the one year warranty right? The bad part about macmall is that I can't just exchange it out for a new one

I'm using the SUM() function in a Pages table to sum the numbers of a column. For example "=SUM(C1:C14)".
Unfortunately, it always returns 0 no matter what arguments I give it.
Manually adding cells works fine i.e. "=C1+C2+...+C14".

When I awaken my G5 in the morning (when its chilly) it goes back to sleep almost immediately. This may repeat twice before it finally stays on. I initially thought it was my HD, a new purchase at the time. However, I have switched to another internal drive and have been experiencing identical results. I've run TechTool Pro, Onyx, Applejack, and Disk Utility, thinking it was a HD issue, but having switched drives, I'm thinking it must be a hardware issue of some sort.

When I return back from a page most of the time install of the original page, Safari returns to a very old page.
This seems to happen on Ars Technica's site the most. Of course on that site I do a lot of jumping atround to view all of their articles.
I have cleaned Safari cache, also history and remove all web perveiw images plus restarting Safari and reboot all without having any effect.

In Settings->Keyboard->Text it is possible to add/delete replacement texts; e.g. 'omw' comes as a default to replace 'on my way'. A Swedish language default is replacing 'mvh' with 'med vänlig hälsning'. I prefer not using these and have thus deleted both of them. Repeatedly deleted them that is since these defaults keep returning a day or so after I have deleted them.

I've been waiting for these Arrandale 15" MBPs since December '09, and in my excitement and haste I didn't assess all the options when I ordered my new laptop.I ordered the base 15" model with no changes to it, but I really need the high-res screen. 3 questions for you lovely people:1) Once I get the laptop, I could return it and change it for a one with the hi-res screen. How long does it usually take to return a Macbook Pro and get a new one back again?
2) If, once I recieve the laptop, I drove to my nearest Apple Store (about 60 miles away- I'm in UK), could I simply hand them my unopened laptop and ask for an exchange for one with a hi-res screen?
3) I noticed a hi-res, anti-glare option. Does anybody know if the anti-glare option still has that ugly grey surroun

You would normally have to fill out a returns form when you send things back to stores.Just wondering why there was nothing for me to fill out as they won't know what it is when they receive it as they won't know my return i.d.does anyone know if there was supposed to be one inside? or if I need to request one from somwhere? or do i not need to do anything but send it?
