OS X V10.7 Lion :: Numbers File On Desktop That Does Not Exist?
Mar 8, 2012
I have a newly set up MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2. I have created a numbers file that is NOT saved on the Desktop. I have an icon of that file on the Desktop and can select it but the file doesn't exist. I have navigated to the folder as su in Terminal and the file doesn't exist. The icon shows on the Desktop though. The numbers document you can see above the selected is the numbers document that I saved after I had seen what I have described above. When I saved it there was no prompt to overwrite the file because it doesn't exist

I installed GCALdaemon to sync iCAL with Google. Everything went well until I came to this:
Put a colored label on all folders in '~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources'.
open ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources
Terminal ********:~ Roody$ open ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources
The files /Users/Roody/Library/Application and /Users/Roody/Support/iCal/Sources do not exist.
So I checked and it doesn't exist indeed.

I need to check if an other applescript put a file on the desktop.however the name varies depending on the weekday it was make. (in the original script I have:
keystroke (("week ") & (do shell script "date +%U") & (".webarchive"))Â )Â
I think the script to check if the file is there should be something like this:tell application "Finder" try open "File:Path:To:Desktop:NameXX" on error Run an other script end tryend tell however I am not sure how to deal with the variable name.Â

I created a new project in Garageband called QE2.band on my desktop, I imported a midi file into the project, made some changes and saved it.This created two Icons on my desktop. Both with the same exact name of QE2.band. One had the standard document looking icon with the Guitar, and the second which looked like a minni screenshot of my GB tracks.I later moved the one with the "Tracks" icon to my music folder in the "Grarge Band" sub folder. I can still access this project just fine. But the Icon with the document looking Icon with the Guitar still appears on my desktop.If I double click on this desktop Icon, is is highligted with the selection rectangle, but does nothing.If I attempt to drag this Icon to the Trash in the Dock I get the message box saying "The item "QE2.band" can't be moved to the trash because it can't be deleted."If I RIGHT CLICK (CONTROL-CLICK) on this icon and select "Move to Trash", I get the same dialog box as above.If I open a Finder window in my desktop directory, the file does not appear.If I open up the "Terminal" app and cd to my desktop folder and execute the ls -la command, I do not see this file QE2.band.If I include the ls switches to how hidden (beginning with a ".") and including the -i to show the files id/inode number, including a null file spec, an "*" file spec or the actual file name "QE2.band" as the file spec, it still responds with file not found:ix:Desktop jeff$ pwd/Volumes/IX User/Users/jeff/Desktopix:Desktop jeff$ ls -la QE2.bandls: QE2.band: No such file or directory [code]

I file has appeared on my desktop. I believe it's a temp file created while downloading something in Safari. When I try to delete it, I get "The item x can't be moved to the trash because it can't be deleted". I tried right click > Get Info, and nothing happens (the info dialog does not appear). I tried ls -al on my desktop, and the file doesn't appear in the list.

I was trying to open an existing Numbers document saved to my desktop. It took me to the App Store, but I didn't have access to a Wireless network. If it needed an update, why does it require the update to open an existing/previously saved document?Â

I have a Numbers file which contains a library of my songs sorted either by artist or by song key (comes in handy when DJ'ing and I want to do some harmonic mixing)
Now I'd like to transfer this file to my iPhone, so I have it in the palm of my hand and so I don't have to leave my Digital Audio Workstation when playing .

I've looked high and low. Can anyone point me to some USEFUL information regarding how to setup Lion 10.7.3 server's Software Update Service for 10.7.3 clients? Specifically, I'm tryng to figure out how to "point" 10.7.3 Lion clients to the server for their updates. Currently, the service is on and the queue is full.Â

I have some .numbers files that I need a friend to look at on her pc with Excel 2003 SP3, but it's not working for her. I have changed the extension to .xls but it's no good, as when she tries to open them they are all gobbledegook.
Here's a snapshot of the various files I have, but notice how the icons for each is different, or rather that there are two distinct designs? Some of them DO open in Excel, but some do not.

Is there a size limit for importing an Excel File into Numbers? The error message says the file is too large. Has this been changed in i-work 09? The file has multiple sheets that refer to each other, but i can't even open at this point. It is 3.1 MB.

I have a G4, dual 450, 1G Ram running 10.4.11. Recently after downloading and opening an .rar file, a file named .DS_Store appeared on the desktop. I have since deleted the .rar file, but cannot delete the .DS file. It is appearing now in all of my programs, including my camera when I plug it in. I've tried ClamXav, MacScan, and DnsChangerRemovaltool, also What'sKeepingMe, but nothing can remove it. Info says it's a document, 16 KB, and it reads as date created the last time I turned the machine on. Can anyone tell me what this is and how I can get rid of it?

I am relatively new to the Mac. I have a Macbook Pro 2.2GHz. Today, a file keeps popping up on my desktop. It is named .DS_Store. The icon looks like a text document. I won't open it cuz I'm afraid of what it is, lol (Windows still clogging my brain). Anyway, I can drag it to the trash and delete the trash, but after a bit, it reappears.
Any idea how to get rid of it?

I've been ripping my hair out trying to find the answer to this.
In Numbers for Mac, I need to fill a column automatically with a series of integers (1 - 50) and then the next column with a function that interacts with the first column.
For example:
Column A - 1 - 5
Column B - (value in Column A * 5)
I can't figure out how to do it in Numbers When I try to fill column a with 1 - 50 all it does is fill all 1's and I cant find an option how to make that change so it automatically numbers when I highlight them.
The best I can describe is how in Excel you can type 1 in the first cell, then highlight a bunch of cells and the little box appears that lets you click "Fill Series"

I went to go make a recording of my friends and I talking and joking around using Garage Band. It worked well to record, and I managed to make it to an mp3 file and import it to iTunes. However, now I have "My Song.band" on my desktop. I cannot "Get Info" for it to look at the permissions. I have tried dragging it into Terminal to get rid of it, and it won't drag into the program. I cannot delete it because I get the error message "The item 'My Song.band' can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted." I also cannot open the file. It is just sitting there.

See above title. i get that there's the "degree(cell)" function, but there has to be an easier way to change the settings so you can just input in degrees rather than radians.
like how calculators have a degrees and radians mode, i find it so hard to believe that there isn't one in numbers. if there really isn't, this is an incredibly flawed program.

It seems since I upgraded to Lion that I have to rely on opening some Numbers file from the File -> Open Recent menu.Some files do not appear in Spotlight and look like they are not on my machine as I cannot find them in the Finder either.

I was having difficulty with one or two applications not working correctly so I've just created a new (admin) account on my Mac Pro (10.7.3). The apps in question now work fine in the new user account. Problem is, of course, when I (later) used Migration Assistant to bring in all my old settings, it also brought in whatever the conflict was. So I would like to set things up one step at a time by dragging info from my old account to the new. I've got all my Documents, Application Support and Cache files, but the Applications which require a serial number are still not working.Â

I just purchased a new Retina Display MBP as an upgrade to my old iMac.I have over 200 Applications taking up the bulk of my drive, many of which have serial numbers that I no longer even know of due to loss of original boxes, or what have you. I am trying to avoid copying all of my content over to the new MBP, I would much rather just move what I actually need to and try to keep it a little "cleaner". So my question is, with a Time Machine Backup of my iMac... Can I plug that into the MacBook Pro, launch Time Machine, and simply drag the last backup's Applications over? Will the ones with the serial numbers run?

Since the installation of Lion the decimal point isn't working alright. Not in the calculator and not in Numbers.Â
1. For instance when I type 1500 in the Calculator the displays says 1,500. That's not correct, in Europe it should be 1.500
No preferences in the calculator to change it. It worked well with Snowleopard. In system preferences Decimals is changed to ",", thousands is "."Â
2. Numbers. When I type 123456789 in numeric field it's changed in 123.456.789
If I change the last four digits to 2233 and accidently forget to change the points the point stays on the same place. It will say 123.452233 The same if you add a digit 123.456.789 will be 123.456.7892233
This worked well in Snowleopard.Â
