You don’t need Jamf, nor OS X Server, but you do need MDM. As of 2018/2019 the real-world suggested (best-practice) baseline that many are using is: Apple DEP setup for your devices (free), pointing to your chosen MDM, and Munki (free) For MDM, I suggest SimpleMDM or Mosyle.com which is $1.00 per node/month. Few days ago I used Photos for MAC (OS 10.11.6) to send a picture to a friend. The operation was successfull, the photo was sent from the App photos but using the application iM essages from my MAC.

Click here to return to the 'Access AVCHD .mts files' hint

This worked perfectly for me! Thanks!

Yes indeed: it works: first file 'PRIVATE', second 'AVCHD', third 'BMDV', then you have the open folder structure: 'STREAM' contains the MPEG stream files (*.MTS)

When I opened up the STREAM file there was nothing listed. How do I get the .mts files to show? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Bottom line: use QuickTime to quickly view these files, leave them alone if you will be importing them into iMovie/ FCP.
More detail: If you use Finder's 'Show Contents' of the 'Private' file (which is acting as a folder, apparently a folder with attributes ::grin::), it gets you to another file (which is also a folder) that is called 'AVCHD'. That is the same folder that looks like a file that you will get from the internal flash drive of the video camera (or at least the Canons I use- internal flash drive delivers an AVCHD, SD card has that AVCHD file in the Private file). If you double-click on either 'Private' or 'AVCHD' in Mountain Lion, you will get an 'open' dialog in QuickTime Player (10.2) which allows you to select any clip from push-to-record to push-to-stop. If there is only one continous clip in the AVCHD folder, it will open that one video in the player.
One thing you can now do with QuickTime is to export the videos directly, and you can choose several different options for your new movie files. I suggest only doing this if the plan is quickly convert to share a video. If you want to import into FCP or iMovie, you'll want to leave the AVCHD 'file' intact- to import these into FCP X, it is best to have each AVCHD in its own folder (I name it for the event and or the time of the event) and you select that folder, not the AVCHD file in it to import it.
If you've read any FCP or iMovie forums, you'll know you do not want to remove these .mts files from their nests in these folders. The forums are full of people begging to find a way to get them back into the structure of the AVCHD folders so that they can import them into their projects easily and coherently. There are workarounds, but Apple's software does not expect you to have removed the .mts files, it expects to find the structure as the camera contains it after the shoot is completed.
Thanks for pointing out this new function, but it takes the reader in the wrong direction based on my experience. Just because you can drag the .mts files out does not mean you want to or should.

Please explain what 'locked into Quicktime' means. Is it no longer possible to set video files to always open with e.g. VLC or MPlayerX?

I can set movies to open with any application that will play them. I don't know what that means either. .If it's interpreted by the system to be a document, you should be able to tell the OS what application to use to open it. I wrote an AppleScript and packaged it with a similar automator service that allows you to choose from a list of video apps that will be associated with an individual media object, and you can download it from my site.

The script includes its own list of apps to be selected, it doesn't just look for what's on your system. That's partly because there's no reason to associate the file with an app unless you already know it understands the file object type that you're telling it to open. I think the reason for the phrase 'locked into QuickTime' is that not all video software at your disposal to access the video content may recognize the package type, even though it might be able to interpret the object that the package contains.

Sled rider mac os. I'll take a moment and agree with jolipoli. There are many professional recording formats that use multiple files in a 'package'. I've run across several computer-savy people that have brought me pieces of these packages complaining that they don't play correctly or they can't edit them properly. MacOS is being helpful by showing these packages as a single file when really they are a folder full of pieces.
This is a great hint to point out that you can easily get in to these packages to get to the actual video and/or audio files. But leave them in their structure if you ever want to import the package in to video editing software.

I have a similar situation. I deleted a few AVCHD(hmc150) files from an SD card (I was in a hurry and couldn't sort through them all), and now FCP 7 won't recognize the card in 'Log and Transfer'!!! I can still view all but 10 clips when the card's in my camera, and the card shows all the files in a finder window. When I try to create a custom path to these files, I get a message that says, 'MTS files' contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.' .. Do i need to recover these files via recovery software?? (if so, which one? I have Mac OS X 10.7) or can I unzip, convert, repair, these clips otherwise? please help! thank you -Sam

You have a couple of options that I know of.
1. you can convert them to Prores with another application that can handle MTS files - I use Adobe Media Encoder.
2. If you replace the files that were deleted with other MTS files of the same name (the same MTS file copied and renamed works) then FCP should be able to process the video in Log and transfer. I just use a small video clip that I shot of a piece of paper with 'deleted file' written on it. It happens.

Thank you thank you thank you for solving my 'where have my movies gone' headache!!!

Ever have a problem on your Mac, where you can’t type the letters and numbers 7, 8, 9, U, I, O, J, K, L, and M—and maybe some others?

It’s probably Mouse Keys at play, an accessibility feature in macOS that mimics an old IBM-style keypad feature.

Num Lock and its computer history

Keyboards still have vestiges of their origins on typewriters and mechanical calculators. We mostly ignore those in our day-to-day work. The Shift key, originally meant to literally raise a set of typebars in a typewriter, merely shifts among upper and lower case. And you know better than to press Caps Lock when entering passwords—Apple even alerts you when you have it accidentally enabled.

The Num Lock key was a product of the intermediate age, where mechanical and digital met. Some IBM computer keyboards didn’t have separate arrow keys, but they did have a numeric keypad for fast number entry. IBM doubled up: It added a Num Lock key that flipped the numeric keypad to act as arrow keys to move a cursor around a screen-based interface, before computer mouses.

On certain laptops, including older Macs, Num Lock had a different function. Ghost sweeper mac os. Lacking a numeric keypad, Num Lock turned part of the main keyboard into a pseudo-keypad. (There was sometimes a unique Num Lock key, sometimes it doubled with a Clear key and Shift, and sometimes it was a function to invoke, like through F6 on a Mac.)

The pseudo-keypad layout relied on sets of four keys starting with 7, 8, 9, 0 and going down three rows to M. With this mode invoked, you could still type 7, 8, 9, and 0 and have those characters appear, as they’re still mapped to the same position. But U, I, O, P, J, K, l, semicolon, M, command, period, slash take on keypad functions.

Apple stopped supporting Num Lock via F6 quietly back in 2008. It shouldn’t be possible to invoke this mode accidentally, as it shouldn’t exist. It’s available in Boot Camp with some laptops, although Apple doesn’t specify which.

An independent developer did create a Num Lock app—called simply NumLock—that would invoke the feature within Mac OS X; it hasn’t been updated in a few years, and I haven’t tested it in Mojave.

Mouse Keys and its modern usage

Apple lets you hearken back to those IBM days with an accessibility feature in macOS called Mouse Keys. With Mouse Keys enabled in the Accessibility preference pane in the Mouse & Trackpad section, the number keys on a keypad turn into cursor diagonal, left, right, up, and down cursor movement in tiny increments—or hold down and it moves faster. To click the mouse, press 5; to click and hold, press 0; to release, press the dot on the keypad.

However, if you’re using a laptop or a keyboard without a keypad, Mouse Keys hijacks a subset of that old IBM layout. 7, 8, 9, I, O, P, J, K, L, M, and period are turned into the same layout as a keypad (789/456/123/0.).

One Macworld reader has found that a keyboard they plugged in invoked Mouse Keys even though they didn’t know it was turned on. You can disable Mouse Keys via the Accessibility preference pane, but if you haven’t changed defaults, you can also tap the Option key five times and an onscreen accessibility message appears briefly noting it’s turned off. You can similarly re-enable it the same way.
