I find a lot of duplicated locked plist files in preferences. Normal?

I find a lot of duplicated locked plist files in preferences. Normal? I have all delete but all have resurrect. What a function have?

Please give an example.
Note that in Lion preference files now come in pairs: the preference file itself and the "lockfile" which controls access to the preference file.

  • Can't find com.apple.desktop.plist file in Preferences folder.

    I have three desktop spaces, and I have them randomly changing backgroud from a selection of pictures in a folder. To quickly find out which picture was currently use for each desktop, I have a AppleScript that returns some infomation within the com.apple.desktop.plist file. This has been working perfectly fine in Mountain Lion.
    However, after I installed the Mavericks (clean install from scratch), my script no longer works. The background images can be changed as before, but there's no com.apple.desktop.plist file exist anywhere in my hard drive.
    Does anyone run into similar problems as me? It's driving me nuts! I can't think of any reason that there shouldn't be such a file... Thank you very much!

    The returned file name from your terminal command "sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db '.dump' | grep jpg" is the file name of my current desktop picture "Earth and Moon.jpg".
    The returned file names from your script:
    set theResult to "Space 1 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/" & (do shell script"sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db \"SELECT data.value FROM preferences INNER JOIN data on preferences.key=16 and preferences.picture_id=3 and preferences.data_id=data.ROWID\"") & "
    Space 2 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/" & (do shell script "sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db \"SELECT data.value FROM preferences INNER JOIN data on preferences.key=16 and preferences.picture_id=5 and preferences.data_id=data.ROWID\"") & "
    Space 3 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/" & (do shell script "sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db \"SELECT data.value FROM preferences INNER JOIN data on preferences.key=16 and preferences.picture_id=7 and preferences.data_id=data.ROWID\"")
    display dialog theResult buttons {"Done"} default button 1
    are
    Space 1 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/3439B
    Space 2 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/5244B
    Space 3 Wallpaper: ~/Pictures/Background/5244B
    The return from your terminal command "find ~/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library.photolibrary/Masters -name filename.jpg" is
    find: /Users/Peter/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary/Masters: No such file or directory
    The return from your terminal command "
    readlink -f ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect.desktop/69730752/DSKiPhotoRootSource-allPhotosAlbum/9419B" is
    readlink: illegal option -- f
    usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
    I do have a little app (Script) which did exactly what I needed under OS X Mountain Lion but because under Mavericks Apple changed the location of the wallpaper information to a SQLite database this app is not working anymore. I could send you this app if you want but I do not know how to do this via this forum.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Multiple plist files for QTX in Pref folder.

    Hi folks,
    Can you check your Preferences folder ( ~/Library/Preferences) to see if you too have numerous QuickTime Player X plist files?
    I found 142 files which are suffixed with some garbled letters at the end (com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.RlLCL4q)
    Not sure if this is normal or a bug but wanted to check w/ you all before submitting a bug report.
    Thanks

    Not sure about normal as an app shouldn't generate such an amount of plists unless they were caches.
    Normal in the sense that each new file opened in the QT X player seems to create a separate PLIST file. (Not normal in the sense that this does not happen with QT 7 files.) If you searched the forum, you probably learned that the arbitrarily named files appear to be based on temporary files whose names are randomly generated and normally invisible to the user which I suspect under normal circumstances should have been deleted by the system after use.
    I think 10.6.3 may have done away with it crosses fingers as the files in my pref folder were generated prior to 10.6.3's installation.
    Many users reported the the generation of these superfluous files as a probable "bug" and it is quite possible that Apple may have corrected the problem as part of the last upgrade. I stopped using QT X long ago as I became tired of constantly deleting these files and tend to use the QT 7 Player for the "Pro" feature functionality which most of us still prefer to the limited capabilities included in the QT X Player.

  • Safari slow and/or locked up, how do I find .plist file?

    Like many others, my office computers' Safari keeps getting locked up when going to different websites & I often have to do a force quit. I've read various posts, and have tried the simple fixes such as to reset Safari. I keep seeing that I should delete .plist file, but how do I find it? I'm told it's located at (tilde symbol) library/preferences, but how do I find that? My Safari drop down menu has Preferences, but not Library. One post said that the file is located in the home folder, but I don't know where the home folder is.
    I don't know much about computers, but my job requires that I visit certain websites. (I work in a law office, so it's usually government websites, to download legal forms) Fixing computer problems wasn't on my job description when I was hired, but office staff has now shrunk to one part-time worker, and yours truly is doing what I can to keep the office running. How does a Tech Challenged lady find library/preferences and/or my home folder?

    Hi
    What do I do now? Do I trash my old Safari folder, and keep this one with the unwanted bookmarks on that gray section at the top of the window? I'll keep my old Safari on the desktop until I have a chance to check for answers later in the day.
    One of the files in that folder is causing the problem.
    Here's my suggestion:
    Quit Safari.
    Next, move the History.plist file in the Safari folder on the desktop to the new Safari folder, replacing the newly created file. Restart Safari. If the problem occurs, you found your problem file. In that case, move the remaining files on the desktop back to their original location, replacing the new files. Then, move the History.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari.
    By contrast, if Safari is stable after moving the History file, then another file is causing the problem. In that case, return to the Desktop and move the Icons folder found in the Safari folder back to its original location, replacing the newly created one. If Safari problem returns you found the culprit. In that case, you would move the Icon folder to the trash. Then, restart Safari.
    Before going further, let me know if that solves the problem.

  • A lot of blocking locks on NRIV daily

    Hi experts,
      Our system has a lot of blocking locks on NRIV. I use DMV to check and find many processes update RF_BELEG frequently. I find note 840901 can solve using parallel buffering, but our FI users do not agree sale document number without continuous chronological ascending order. Any solution from SAP or SQL server? Could SQL server parallel update NRIV table?

    hi dennis,
    this issue would be complicated since if you're not allowing your Apps server buffering NRIV than your SAP performance will decrease. this is because every transaction which require number need to be generated first every time your user save data to your SAP system.
    This buffering technique is used to handle  this issue so if your Apps server do not need to ask new number every time your user save their transaction data.
    i have same issue when our external (public) auditor ask me than i ask for SAP support and then they explain about this. when i explain this issue to my external auditor, they understand this issue and they said no problem as long as  this issue could be accepted.

  • How do you find out what application is generating a plist file in your preference folder?

    I have had two similar warnings come up in Drive Genius 3, a program that I use to manage my drives.  The warnings occur during a daily verification of preferences on my main drive, a 256GB SSD. 
    They state:
    "The preference file at '/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.analogsolutions.Football.plist' may be corrupted."
    "The preference file at '/Users/me/Library/Preferences/org.machinedevelop.National.plist' may be corrupted."
    Per Drive Genius' advisement, "Corrupted files can cause appplication crashes and should be moved to the Trash." I delete the files, however they are regenerated each day. 
    Q: How do you figure out what application is generating a preference file?  And is there a way to tell if this is a OS generated preference file? 
    I have searched online and cannot find any information about either Analog Solutions or Machine Develop nor am I able to discern what these particular .plist files are for... 
    Q: Are these two .plist files truly potentially harmful?
    Thanks for the Help!

    Hi Everyone, sorry for the late response.  I have been monitoring my Preferences Folder; every moment I am on my computer trying to catch what application/process generates these files.  I was hoping to try your suggestions, but oddly enough the offensive .plist files have not returned since the last time I deleted them about a week ago.... strange...
    In any case, I have responded to some of your suggestions and questions that I have information on:
    X423424X wrote: Ok, can you double click the .plist file?  If so it should attempt to launch the Property List Editor (in your Utilities folder).  That way you can look at stuff in the plist.  Maybe (hopefully) there's something in there that can shed some light on who is creating it.   If Property List Editor cannot open the file (some apps create files that have the .plist extension but don't actually create the proper XML format -- probably what ProSoft was alluding to) then try opening it with a text editor.
    The .plist file when opened in text editor contains a string of (what to me seems to be) an arbitrary list of numbers.
    Linc Davis wrote: Those files have been given obfuscated names so you won't know what created them. They must contain encrypted registration data for some third-party commercial software that you use.
    Yes, seems likely...
    Linc Davis wrote: It should be fairly easy to find out what application is creating them, if you really care. Move the files to the Desktop, then log out. Log back in while holding the shift key as you click the "Log In" button. That will prevent your login items from loading, among other things. Open your account preferences and launch the login items one at a time by double-clicking them in the list. After each one, check to see whether the files have been recreated.
    Ran through login, one by one, no luck in identifying the application(s). 
    X423424X wrote: Another thought, lock the plists on the hope that whatever is using them will "choke" and complain about it (no guarantee that will work but worth a try).
    Thanks, the lock idea is the one I will try next if they ever reappear...
    X423424X wrote: Also, I don't recall if I asked this but if those plists are deleted while logged in will they be recreated during that same login session.  Or do they only appear after you deleted them and then and then logged out and back in?  Or do you have to reboot to recreate them?
    Unfortunately I do not know for certain.  Though from all my login/startup/reboot tests I believe that they are not directly linked to starting up the machine or loging in either.
    I'm not really certain why the .plist have not returned.  I haven't uninstalled any programs, though I did run a couple updates for some widgets within the last week; however that was about 3 days after I deleted the last set of .plist files and usually they reappered everyday.  In any case, given that they have not been regenerated I guess my problem is solved per se, at least I am no longer getting that annoying warning everyday.   Still, it's a bit of a mystery  
    Thanks again for all the help!

  • Plist files keep being duplicated (for mobile accounts)

    We are running a Max OS X Server 10.6.8 on a local network. On the same network we have several users under mobile accounts. Some of the mobile account users are experiencing a lot of issues recently. They were running on Snow Leopard, we upgraded them to Mavericks, but the problems persist. In their ~/Library/Preferences folder, they have a lot of plist files duplicated, example for iTunes:
    com.apple.iTunes.plist
    com.apple.iTunes-network.plist
    com.apple.iTunes-network-2.plist
    com.apple.iTunes-network-3.plist
    com.apple.iTunes-network-4.plist
    com.apple.iTunes-network-5.plist
    And it's doing that for most of the plist files in the ~/Library/Preferences folder.
    The same behavior is noticed for iPhoto in the ~/Pictures folder, and each one of the duplicate is pretty big (we are talking about an iPhoto Library around 30GB):
    iPhoto Library
    iPhoto Library-network-2
    iPhoto Library-network-3
    iPhoto Library-network-4
    Is there a way to avoid this duplication and to clean the preferences files properly?
    Thank you

  • My imovie seems to have completely crashed... and I'm hoping someone can help me. I have moved all my projects and events to a folder on my desktop. I've deleted all the plist files I can find and I still cannot get it to open.

    Please help... it seems all is lost as all I kind find on this subject seem to lead to nowhere. My engagement was on imovie, a school project, several videos of our son. You will have to hold my hand through this process... as I am not very good at this type of thing. I believe I have deleted all the necessary plist files and moved my projects and events to a folder on my desktop. imovie has been upgraded to version 9.0.9... Whenever I open it I just get the beachball and then I have to force quit and I get the following report:

    Hi
    Yes this can be many things - and I can only guess/suggest.
    A. a very common origin to make the Mac un-happy is to - PANIC-HALT - when the round multicolored thing appear.
    So much can go wrong by doing this - and if done often problem builds up that can result in a real disaster.
    B. NEVER - move or alter any folder named - iMovie Event's resp. iMovie Project's - as iMovie has no search function - moving them results in that iMovie get's 100% lost.
    One can move them - but this HAS TO BE done within the iMovie application (as it is up and running)
    C. preference files - there are TWO or more Libraries on Your Mac. First and easy to find is the one You see when opening Your Start-Up Hard Disk window = Root Library == the WRONG ONE
    What we need to find is the one in Your User-Account folder (icon as a house) - and this is in Mac OS X.7, X.8 and X.9 HIDDEN. To see it do:
    ( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
    or - do like this. 
    On the Finder window at the top left of the screen,
    Hold down the Option key and clicked on Go. 
    This allowed You to see the Library folder and select it. 
    Then keep the Option button pressed down in order to see and select the Library folder. 
    Once found it, You are able to navigate to the iMovie preferences file and move it to the trash.  iMovie then start’s up fine! 
    Now here in Your User Library - find Preferences and trash
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    com.apple.iMovie9.plist
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    I Prefere another way to find out if this is the problem.
    (after all folders (iMovie Event/Projects are moved into original place)
    • go up to Apple Menu
    • Down to System Pref's
    • Select Accounts - Create a new User
    • Go down the Apple menu - Log OUT
    • Log into as the new User
    Now try iMovie
    Does it work at all ? (Yes You don't see Events or Projects in Your original Account just now)
    If so - Then we know that there is a corrupted pref file to be trashed.
    Else - the problem are much more severe.
    D. After Panic Halt / Forced Quit - I always do -. to keep disasters on arms length.

  • HT4972 Why will apple not allow an ISO update above 5.1 on a first generation I-Pad? I am finding a lot of apps requiring 6.0.  If this is a way of getting more money out of the consumer, it angers me greatly!

    I am very angry that my I- Pad first generation will not update to ISO 6.1. Is this Apple's attempt to get more money from the consumer? I am finding a lot of apps require the 6.0 and will not load. I am a retired senior and purchasing a new I- Pad is not a priority.  Because of this Apple may lose my future business.

  • How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

    How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

    You don't.
    If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
    The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
    On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
    Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
    Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

    If a user account is deleted and the data for that account is not deleted, it is placed there. Yes, you can delete the files there.

    Wow, your system must have a long history of having picked up assorted bad stuff ...
    You have CleanMyMac2, which should definitely be removed.
    You have other stuff (MacCleanse, for example) that I don't have first-hand knowledge about but should very likely be removed.
    You are using Google Chrome which is a resource hog.
    Further, your Adobe Flash player is not current.
    If I had all these issues, I would do a clean install of Yosemite and only reintroduce the essential stuff.
    You can search for the .plist files by opening finder, holding down the Option key, and doing Go > Library from Finder's menu and then searching for the file(s).

  • What if i can't find the xprotect.meta.plist file?

    So, there's a lot of this going on today.  I'm on OS X 10.6.8 and still running Java 6, but getting the inactive plug in screen and nothing coming up in the software updates.  I've removed it an reinstalled it, but it's still a no go.
    SO I think I may just be in trouble here.  I need to remove the infamous xprotect.meta.plist file which has blocked java (I know it's unsafe software, but I'm REALLY NOT HAPPY with Apple right now for doing this without warning.) BUT, for whatever reason I don't have the folder which should contain it, nor does the file come up in a search.
    Any suggestions? Or should I leave this to the guys and gals in the genius bar??

    Any attempt to circumvent the protection offered by xprotect is very foolhardy.
    Apple has barred Java from running on Macs, leaving companies that rely on Java plug-ins out in the cold.
    Apple blocked Java 7 Update 11 by adding it to the banned list in XProtect.
    This is the second time in two weeks that Apple has blocked Oracle's code from running on Macs. This time Java is blocked through Apple's XProtect anti-malware feature.
    Java has come under fire as the means by which hackers have been able to gain control of computers. In April 2012 more than 600,000 Macs were reported to have been infected with a Flashback Trojan horse that was being installed on people's computers with the help of Java exploits. Then in August Macs were again at risk due to a flaw in Java, this time around, there was good news for Mac users: Thanks to changes Apple has made, most of us were safe from the threat.
    Unwilling to leave its customers open to potential threats Apple has apparently decided it's safer to block Java entirely.
    Macs running OS X Snow Leopard and beyond are affected.
