Well I'd try following Unix commands: find (to search the files) and the cpio to copy the the files to another directory. Like: $ cd source; find . \( -name '*xyz*' -o -name '*abc*' \) -print0|cpio -0adpm target (I did not try that, but is should work. You might have to use absolute directory...

OS X works fine with exFAT filesystem. Only problem is, it cannot format a drive to exFAT, you have to use Windows to format the disk.

Why do you have to convert them? Why not use VLC instead?

OS X supports Windows' exFAT filesystem. But you have to format the disk on Windows machine (or virtual machine on MAC). The filesystem supports 16 exabyte size files and disk size is 64 zetabytes. OK, they both mean: enough. I have used on some USB disk and it worked fine.

I found also that SMB is faster than AFP on my Synology.

Maximum FAT file size is 2GB, so I guess your problem is with the file system. Format the disk to exfat on Windows XP (or 7 or 8). OS X supports exfat, which allows much larger files (127 PB vs 2GB).

Raid is way to make virtual disk, for example Raid-0 is two disks that act as one bigger and faster disk. So to answer your question: you first make the raid, then use it as a disk (partition, format, put data).

Mac is computer, so you have install the games. Some games might need that you have the CD on the driver when playing (at least Civilization IV works that way).

Why not use split command? With it, you can split (hence the name) a file into smaller files. Send the files via email and your friend can put the files together into the MP3 file. Start terminal.app and move to the directory where the file is. For example $ cd ~/Downloads $ split -b...

I upgraded to 10.8 and have some weird problems with the desktop background picture. I have Apple's Aperture installed (the newest version) and use library "4 stars" (i.e. pictures that I have evaluated either as **** or *****) as source of the background. The picture should be randomly...

It seems you are missing /usr/bin from your PATH: Since sudo is "/usr/bin/sudo"; I guess it is no good.

If I don't remember it wrong, Apple's Pages works fine with HTML pages (I have installed MS Office to my MBP).

The file name (http://www.nameofcompany.com/files/g...PAL.part01.rar) implies, that it is only first of splitted rar archive. You have to have all the files in the same place, so that you can unarchive the files. You might also like to check VLC or MPlayer for the video files.

If the directories do not matter, type in Terminal.app (first "cd" to the directory containing the pictures) find . -type f -print|wc -l If not all files are pictures, try something like find . -type f -name '*.jpg' -print|wc -l If your pictures are RAW format, use .cr2 or whatever your...

When you think that the new iPad is called iPad, I bet new OS X is called OS X!

Most likely you have downloaded, copied or unzipped some files that had .DS_Store with them. Since zip-files and FAT32-filesystem (normally used in USB memory sticks) do not have hidden attribute, .DS_Store file came visible.

I find it much easier to use find with xargs. I guess you need command Replace rm with echo to see how the command works. Find sends the file list to the pipe and xargs reads the pipe, constructing rm call with several file names as arguments. This means that there are fever rm calls, thus...

You might like to give us more information. For example, can you save other kinds of files? Can you create other files (i.e. without emal) without the password? Have you tried to send the files yourself, i.e. does this happen only from some sender or from all?

It might be that you have formatted (or it is preformatted) the disk as HFS+ disk. HFS+ is the default filesystem on Macs. Problem is, it is not supported on Windows. Copy the files from the disk to your Mac, and format the disk as FAT32 disk. Check for example...

?xml-stylesheet means that the file is meant to be processed by the MessageLog.xsl file. Do you have it? If so, try to run it with xsltproc -command (on Terminal.app); like: [COD]xsltproc MessageLog.xsl the.xml[/CODE] I bet the result is much more readable. XSL file is actually a script...
