IPod photo cache file - how do I locate it?

Hi all,
On my iPod nano I keep getting the "some of your photos were not copied because they cannot be displayed on your iPod" message, but the photo albums I am syncing do not contain the photo mentioned in the warning.
I have had a look around and noticed that one member said there is an iPod photo cache file that does not get updated. So, I want to delete that and then resync my iPod, in the hope that this warning message will not re appear. The problem is I don't know where it is located.
For the record, I have also recently restored my iPod using iTunes 7.1.1 and this still occurs.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony.

Now that I have my .M2T file, how do I bring back to PE7 and burn BluRay Disc?

I had an earlier thread regarding encoding and locking up at 97%. Since then I rendered the project out to viewing on a PC or creating a DVD. Now that I'm at that point I can't figure out how to bring back to PE7 and burn to BluRay. Any thoughts?

Not quite sure I understand. All you need to do is re-import the file using Get Media> From Files and folders. Then place the clip on the timeline, add disc menu markers and then Share>To Disc and select the Bluray option, after having added the menu.

Hidden cache files (imovie) - lost 60gb memory - can you help me recover?

Ok so here is my problem. Using the Panasonic GH2 for filming and decided to import the .mov files to my external drives via imovie, easy right? Over the period of some 800gb of imports I slowly lost 60+ gb of drive space that I have not been able to recover and am now in dire need of deleting as I am down to zero drive space on my main drive.
What I have done:
Pulled and deleted all imovie cache files (i.e. user/movies/imovie...etc.)
Deleted a my .plist
Deleted all user cache files
Deleted imovie files from iphoto library
There are probably other items I am leaving out, but I have gone to great lengths to fine this cache of thumbnails or some strange hidden series of files that imovie produces for back up or something. Need help here.
Can someone tell me what other measures I should consider for recovering this lost space???
Thanks a million!

EUREKA!!!
I don't know how old this post is but I hope this will be helpful for anyone who stumbles around here.
So, I had the same issue with phantom memory being guzzled up by some unknown videos that I could not find and iMovie was the culprit. So with that being said, the short answer that will most probably fix this is to delete your projects. Even if you erased the clips that you used, the program seems to keep the cache and encrypting, etc of every video you made with these projects. For me, I only had 2 projects on the mac and I kept deleting the clips and adding new ones. 1 of them I was using for months and it had 100 GB of data stored within that 1 project!!
I know that this may be a pain since you lose your format if you make videos regularly but unfortunately, this is the only way that I found to delete this dead space. The better fix would be to know how to get rid of the dead data without deleting the projects. My movies are usually very small and have a simple format so it doesn't bother me much to have to delete my project after I make my clips.
Another thing, the clips you import to iMovie stay in a semi-hidden area and it keeps ALL your clips there. You can find these clips by going to File - Reveal in Event. You can also go to Reveal in Finder as well but they are the same clips so you only need to delete them from 1 of these 2 areas.
If this option is grayed out, go to All Events first, select the event(s) and then see if the option is now available.
I hope this helps!

Object already locked under transport request by another user

Hi Experts,
While trying to generate transport request for my developments, the request is getting generated as a sub task under previously created request.The program has been earlier modified by another user and that request was not released.Can I create my own request number without creating it as a sub request? I cannot release or delete earlier requests.
Regards,
Sam

This restriction is there for a reason. Somebody has already applied changes to the object you are changing now, so there would be a logical conflict if you would be able to lock it again under a different request. Before you release or delete anything, make sure you understand all changes done and if they can be moved together to subsequent systems. Speak to the "other user" if unsure.

Just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. transferred data from my old macbook over n it created another user name. that's actually good--xcept for music, which i want on my new acct. How do i move files from my "old comp" acct to my new one?

i just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. when i transferred data from my old macbook over, it created another user name (i called it "old computer"). That's actually good--I'm not going to be accessing old files frequently--except for music, which i want on my new user name. How do i move files from my "old comp" account to my new one? Is there a way to easily move large #'s of files, or just one by one? I've googled extensively but can only find instructions for OSX 10.6 and previous, which talks about the "Shared folder," which I can't seem to find.

That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over.

IPhoto is currently a shared file with another user on my Mac and I am the Admin and no longer want to share it. How do i undo this completely?

Iphoto is currently a shared file on my Mac and I no longer want to share it. How do I completely remove access to it if i am the Admin to the computer? Thanks in advance...

I found the answer on the Quicken Support site. Unbelievable!!!!
Article ID: GEN82981 Updated: 8/11/2011 |
Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files. Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile. When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users. However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac.

How do I ensure user name is shown rather than 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box?

How can I ensure user names are shown rather than just 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box that appears when attempting to edit a checked out document in Microsoft Word/Excel?
All suggestions welcome.

If I recall correctly, that dialog is generated by the Office client product supporting that file type. There would be no way to modify it.

How do I transfer files to another user account?

As you can tell from the thread title I'm completely new to all things Mac. Please forgive my ignorance and this long winded post.
So I setup my new 27" iMac, installed Lion 10.7.? and applied all the updates (to 10.7.4). Then I installed MS Office 2011 for Mac and downloaded all the updates for it. All went well and was refreshingly simple. I did all of this thinking that I would need Office installed to make the migration from my PC's Outlook files to work properly. Then i ran the migration assistant and it worked just as advertised. Little did I know that it was creating another user account and it's folders to put the files into. I know, read before jumping into things! Well all of my files are in the new account that the migration assistant created and all appears well in that regard. The only glitch is the emails all went into the Mac client, but they are there, my accounts are up and running and looks like it did what it's supposed to do.
What I need to do is copy or move everything on the new user account over to the original account I setup. What would be the best route to take? I transferred about 125 gig of data in total. I'm thinking that a fresh install and starting over is the route to go, but it's my understanding that a clean install isn't real easy on Lion and above.
I can already tell that when I get everything situated that I'm really gonna be cussing myself for not going to Mac 5 years ago when I started to. The graphics on this new iMac is amazing!
So what are my options? Figure out a clean install? Or move/copy the folders and nuke the 2nd account?

You can reinstall Lion by starting up in Disk Recovery mode. Hold command-R during startup. You will need a fast internet connectiona as a re-download of Lion is required.
Once you have re-installed Lion, you can proceed to migrate your PC data using Setup Assistant.
Moving and copying your files will require an external drive with permissions ignored (that is the default for OSX).

How can I protect a PDF file to where when I am editing the file and another user opens the file, it is only a read-only file?

I work for an auditing firm and we have recently gone paperless with our audit documentation. We have our files saved on a server and multiple people can access the same file at one time. We noticed that Acrobat does not give an message notifying a user that someone else is in that file, nor does Acrobat make that PDF file a read only file when someone else is in it editing the document. Is there a way to notify someone that another user is in the same PDF file? Or is there a way to make a PDF read only when someone else is working with the document?

Hi ashleyr1936858
You can restrict editing of a pdf by setting the password, such that anyone who wants to edit the pdf would need to input that password. This would make the pdf a read-only file.

How do I transfer a book or file to another user on my mac

Word + Excel 2010 - Showing 'another user' on opening a file

Hi,
Bit of a odd question I would imagine but its quite a critical issue for us due to the nature of our work. All our employees have the latest Dell machines with Windows XP Pro and Office 2010 installed ... now we have a series of map drives (about 12) each
having over 500,000 documents in (across various directories). Now when a user opens a document either in Word or Excel it goes ready only and produces the 'document can only be opened in read only' message.
Now this is all normal, the bit that confuses me is 90% of the time it says 'document in use by another user' ... and 10% of the time, it will actually say the user who is in the document (using their logged in username) ...
In short, what I'm getting at is, how can I make office applications, namely word and excel say who is in the file, rather than 'another user'. This used to work perfectly in Office 2003 but since the upgrade to 2010 it's stopped.
Thanks
Mike

There is a public blog on file locking issues (http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2012/05/14/the-definitive-locked-file-post.aspx).
I would suggest the following:
If you are seeing problems where the file is locked when double clicking from Windows Explorer, but the files open up correctly when opened in Excel or Word, do the following:
Turn off the Preview Pane, Details Pane and pop ups that show information about file and desktop items
This is a problem that has been reported to affect Windows 7 clients only, not Windows XP. The problem here may have something to do with the Windows Explorer in Windows 7. We are currently investigating this further and will post more information as it is
available.
In a Windows Explorer window, do the following:
1. Right click on the Start Button.
2. Click 'Open Windows Explorer'.
3. At the top left click Organize > Layout
4. Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.
5. On a Windows menu, click on Tools > Folder Options. In the box that opens up, click on the View tab. Scroll down the list to
“Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear the checkbox and then click OK.
If you are seeing issues where the wrong user name is showing up, there is a known bug on that and a fix:
In cases where the wrong user name is displayed in the file lock dialog
Sometimes where it says 'another user' it has the name of someone that didn't open the file or it has no name at all. Just a big ' ' where a name ought to be. Fear not, there is a fix for this problem. The flavor depends on
whether you have Excel 2010 or Excel 2007. The below KB Articles contain hotfixes that address several issues, not just the file locked issue. But in the dialog of the article you will see this as one of the problem descriptions:
Assume that you have an .xls file that is protected by Information Rights Management (IRM) on a network share. When you open the file in Excel 2007, a File In Use dialog box appears. However, the dialog box does not display the
correct name of the user who locked the file. Therefore, you cannot edit the file.
Understand that these fixes don't make the File in Use dialog go away, they just correct the problem of showing bogus user name information on the dialog itself.

How to clear the cache files in folder Temporary Internet Files

When one user opens files such as pdf. or doc. from Portal, the same file will be downloaded into the Temporary Internet Files folder. if another user copied the files out of the Temporary Internet Files folder from this computer and save to someplace else, then we face one security problem.
So my question is: How to clear the cache files in folder Temporary Internet Files?? Can we delete the files automatically when close the files in Portal??
or is there some ways to make encrypty???
Thanks very much!

Hello,
this is a basical security problem which should be resolved by the OS standard security setup . No other user should have access to the temporary file folders in the personal directory. The user account must be secure. Normaly your security problem should not be a problem if basic security exists on the clients.
You can resolve this problem if every user has his own account on the client
The users having no administration permissions on the clients
The folder for the temporary internet files is placed in the personal profile folder of the user account.
On default no other user has access rights to you personal folder, this means the client OS is setup correctly.
You can setup the IE that no temporary files are saved (but it reduces performance)
You can enable IE to delete automaticly the temporary files if IE is closed.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Alex

Move an iPhoto Library to another user account on the same computer - File Permissions Error

I am having trouble moving an iPhoto Library from one user to another. I copied the library to a shared location, then on the same computer I switch to the other user only to find that there is a little red - in a circle on the folder. I am unable to do anything with the folder. I have checked the "Get Info" and permission to read and write is selected for all users. From everything I have read I should be able to just copy the Library to any location I would like and then open the Library on other computers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Further information: I am running on OSX Lion (10.7.3) with iPhoto 09 (8.1.2). I have my iPhoto Library working in the account of an admin on the computer. Unfortunately I have redundant users on the computer and want to consolidate everything to the original user on the computer, or the user that set up the computer originally. This "original" administrator cannot be delete so I am moving everything from user "B" into the "original" administrator on the computer.

Because I had no idea what I was doing! :-P
I see now that I needed to move the library into the new user's Pictures folder, not import it.
My biggest problem was that I couldn't get rid of that dumb red circle. I think this happened because I just moved the user's Picture folder into the Shared folder before adjusting the permissions. Of course, I'm a bit like a kid trying to explain how the rocket got the moon. I could be mistaken...
Still, here was the work-around that worked for me:
- go into the user with the iPhoto library ("first") that I wanted to move to another user ("new")
- right click on the iPhoto library file, located in the in "first" user's Pictures folder
- unlock the folder and then change the permissions to allow everyone to "Read & Write"
- copy the iPhoto library into the "Shared" folder
- copy the iPhoto library into the "new" user's Picture folder
Because I didn't want two copies of that library, I then deleted it from the "first" user's Pictures folder. I assume iPhoto will just create a new one, which in my case will remain empty because that user doesn't use iPhoto.

Investigating another user cache file. How do I bring it up, versus my own being brought up?
