Are Library/Receipts files needed?

I have a lot of files in my HD/Library/Receipts directory that are taking up a lot of space. Is it OK if I delete them?
Thanks,
Stew

I would not recommend it. Among other functions, the receipts tell Software Update what's been installed on your computer. If there are receipts for software you know you've deleted, you can safely delete those, but you should leave all the others.

HT201260 where are /library/receipts version 10.6.8

Hi,
I am looking for the Library/receipts in Version 10.6.8. I am doing a reinstall of FCP7 and it recommend to delete the FCP pkg file before reinstall.

Packages are no longer maintained in that folder. The only viable item in /Library/Receipts/ should be the InstallHistory.plist file. All previous packages should be gone from there. The bom and plist files associated with installations are now stored in /var/db/receipts/. Contact FCP for details on what to remove from there.

Are all these files needed for MBR streaming? event.xml,manifest.xml,event1.f4m,event1.m3u8?

When streaming live multiple bit rate events, are all four of these xml files necessary and in the correct location? Seems like duplicate information.
Say my event is called 'liveshow'
Event Directrory (2 files) > C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveshow.
Event.xml
<Event>
<EventID>liveshow</EventID>
<Recording>
    <FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration>
    <SegmentDuration>400000</SegmentDuration>
    <DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
</Recording>
</Event>
Manifest.xml
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
<media streamId="stream1" bitrate="200" />
<media streamId="stream2" bitrate="350" />
<media streamId="stream3" bitrate="500" />
</manifest>
In the webroot (2 files)
liveshow.f4m
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">
<baseURL>http://FMS/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveshow/</baseURL>
<media href="stream1.f4m" bitrate="200"/>
<media href="stream2.f4m" bitrate="350"/>
<media href="stream3.f4m" bitrate="500"/>
</manifest>
liveshow.m3u8
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=200000
http://FMS/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveshow/stream1.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=350000
http://FMS/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveshow/stream2.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=500000
http://FMS/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveshow/stream3.m3u8
Also why does 'Manifest.xml use '<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">' and 'liveshow.f4m' use '<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">' ?
Thanks for all the help!

Event.xml is used for Recording purpose - the configuration in there is used for F4F recording.
Manifest.xml is used to serve .f4m file in case if you are using Multi-level manifest.
liveshow.f4m is new way of delivering f4m and is called Multi-level manifest and is used for HDS
liveshow.m3u8 is used for HLS
The difference between Manifest.xml and liveshow.f4m is that they use different specification of F4M file specification - first one is based on 1.0 specification and later is on 2.0 specification.

What are the minimum files needed?

Under Windoz, can I simply copy the JAVA.EXE, the JAR files and the DLLs to a subdir (along with my CLASS file) and run my app? If not, then what would be the minimum required to do so? I'm trying to get away with not running the JRE install.
If there is a URL that you can simply point me to, that would be great.
TIA.

I think I doled out those Duke Dollars too quickly. I put everything in a subdir called C:\AJAVATEST (EXEs, DLLs, JARs, IDLs...) and tried to run and received the following message:
Failed reading value of registry key:
Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion
I'm guessing that the Windows version DOES use the registry. That's disappointing.
Just so everyone will know (including Sun!), I'm not trying to circumvent the JRE Licensing scheme, I'm trying to test on a remote box that I would rather not run an installation on (semi-production box). The remote box does not have the JRE installed on it.

What exactly ARE the .pkg files that collect in the 'Receipts' folder?

Hi there all.
Those .pkg files that collect in HDD>Library>Receipts. What exactly ARE these packages for? How do they tie in with Disk Utility's 'Repair permissions' option? Why do we need to keep them?
It's all Unix to me ;0)

I used to delete .pkg files after I'd installed an application. I thought i was just the electronic equivalent of throwing away the empty box after I'd bought something.
The "cardboard box" icon encouraged me to think that.
Then someone said you should never throw away those.pkg files.
So I stopped.
But the only thing that has ever happened is that during permissions repair, I get a few lines here and there that say "could not repair permissions".
I have experienced no other problems of any kind over about the last 2 years. All applications running normally, nothing weird happening.

Question about Receipt files found in ~\Library\Receipts

Hi there,
I recently bought a Mac Pro and now installing all my software for music production. Although I'm new to Snow Leopard, I've been using Tiger for the last five years, so I do know a little bit about Macs. My problem is that for some reason there has been a Receipts folder installed on my Sample Library volume instead of my home folder's Library folder. I'm not sure if I should move the Receipts folder from my Sample Library into my home folder's Library or if I should just delete the folder all together... I'm pretty sure the folder shouldn't be in my Sample Library, even though I instructed the installer of the particular software (Native Instruments Komplete 6) to install all the samples onto my Sample Library volume.
Could anyone shed some light as to what I should do? I've also posted on the Native Instruments forum but I don't think many would know as a lot of them use Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Daniel

Hi guys,
Thanks for your replies. Inside are a bunch of receipt files for the actual audio files it looks like.
Here's a screen shot:
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Photos/Screen%20shot%202010-09-10%20at%204.19.49% 20AM.png?w=b20232f9
I've emailed Native Instruments about it and hopefully they can give me some sort of advice. It's strange because I've installed other Native Instruments software before in the exact same manner and it never installed these receipt files. Weird.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Daniel

You have installed a third party application called CTLoader. You need to remove it. /Library/Application Support/Conduit /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg /Library/Receipts/ Toolbar name .pkg /Library/Application Support

Could some one help me out how i get to /library/application
If have found below the solution but don't know how to get there ? I am from the netherlands so please be easy in your words so that i could understand it.

Thanks for the effort !
Peter

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
Click Go then move the Conduit/Library/InputManagers/CTloader file to the Trash.
The same for /Library/Receipts and /Library/Application Support
Check these folders as well.
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)

/Library/Updates/*/*.pkg files needed?

I have about 1.4GB in /Library/Updates/*/*.pkg files, e.g., /Library/Updates/zzz061-8089/MacOSXUPdCombo10.6.3.1.1.pkg. I presume that this was installed a while back, because I am already at 10.6.8 .
are these pkg files still needed? if not, why does OSX not clean them up after installation or at least after a while??
sincerely,
/iaw

Because they are small and might be needed again when a user reinstalls their OS, then the download doesn't have to occur from the servers it can just use those again.

I fouled up; erased library .itl and .xml files; need a little help

I think I see what I did wrong (my issue relates to this reply post I submitted earlier today >> https://discussions.apple.com/message/16254985#16254985 but I don't think there's any need to go back and read that post to get the gist of my problem).
So, after knocking around and reading a whole bunch of forum posts and Apple support pubs, I now know I did something dumb.
Simply put, last night, in the course of attempting to delete from my MacBook Pro the iTunes library file residing there (the one designed to contain actual media files, i.e., music, books, podcasts, etc.), I also deleted the iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml files. Yes, doh! is right.
[BTW, the idea behind deleting the media library on the MBP was because my media files are -- and have been for some time -- located on an external hard drive. So the good news is I still have all my media. Of course, the bad news is I lost all playlists and a host of song-specific information and I'm sure a bunch of other stuff that is organized on the iTunes Library.itl file. (Apple's helpful info sheet on the .itl and .xml files at >> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660)]
So I opened up iTunes today and there is nothing there, i.e., looks like just opened for the first time ever. I now know that in the absence of the .itl and .xml files (which I trashed yesterday), iTunes went ahead and created new, empty versions of these files.
HERE'S THE QUESTION: what should or can i do now to rebuild my library? My media files still reside on my external HD and there they must stay because there isn't remotely enough room on the MBP hard drive itself.
I'm just sort of stumped. And skittish. I don't want to make another dumb mistake that will make things even worse. Any ideas?

Hey, sorry to hear that, but good to know that you have all your "stuff" and its just a matter of getting it all back together in the right place. So, I have some ideas why it happened to me and maybe why this happened to you, which may be relevant later, but first I'll first explain how I got out of this jam.
After much investigating, I finally did a search for .itl files and ended up "finding" one in the Media folder itself, specifically in the Music folder (yeah, should have done this much earlier). Looking around, I also found the other files and folders that are supposed to be at same directory level as "iTunes Media."
At this point, I just moved them back to where they were supposed to be and opened iTunes and, voila, there was my stuff (albeit not quite all of it or exactly as it should be). Then, after making sure my Media folder was properly identified in Advanced Preferences, I checked the boxes under File -> Library -> Organize Library and iTunes started doing some activity that seemed like it was reorganizing or rechecking the organization (you can see I am no expert here).
So like I indicated, it wasn't exactly the way it was when I last used iTunes before I had the problems (e.g., various podcasts, books, etc. werent there -- so i just added them into the Library manually, i.e., File -> Add To Library, etc.).
Anyway, I hope this helps if you haven't already fixed your problem. If not, I might have some other ideas I came across while still searching for solution to my problem. Best of luck.

Have found multiple iTunes Library.xml files. Moved Library to new Hard Drive and it needs to be completely rebuilt?

Hello. I have a Mac Mini operating Mac OS X 10.7.2. I recently had to move my iTunes Library to a new hard drive. I followed the directions on how to move the library and refind everything yet when I do so what comes up is a mere skeleton of what I had. I have had to hunt down my purchased Apps, Music and Movies and re-add them to the library. I also noticed in doing this I have multiple iTunes Library.xml files ... shouldn't there only be one? If so how do I clean this up without doing any accidental damage (i.e. how do I find the one that is being used and delete the rest?)? If I delete the others is there any risk of losing purchased content? Lastly syncing my iPads has become a nightmare as I get the "This iPad is currently synced to another iTunes library" message. Obviously something

It's hard for me to picture the exact situation. It sounds like you still have your library file on the internal but some files on the external, and maybe some on the internal, some of which are in the library and others not... By re-adding things after consolidating it may have made things into a hodge-podge. Yes, that article you referenced says: "iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder"with Media Folder being the emphasis. You probably should have just moved your whole iTunes folder. Still, moving the media folder as instructed should not have messed up the library. Did you make the mistake of starting up iTunes before the external drive had mounted fully and it then told you it couldn't find many files? How you proceed to sort it out will depend upon how much time you want to spend and how important things such as ratings and playcount are to you. I have not actually used the consolidate feature across different drives myself (and don't feel inclined to do so here to test ).
If you are in the USA you can download some previous purhcases with iCloud, but not all.
Here's a bit on what an iTunes folder should look like:
What are the iTunes library files? - [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660]
More on iTunes library files and what they do - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management]
Library files with graphic and explanation of different iTunes versions - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13169517
Once you get iTunes working off the external drive it should just put new media to the external when you add it.
I have almost no experience with synching (I synched my neice's iPod, once, about 4 years ago).

Images once exported (RAW) do not show up in catalog or previous imorts not film strips in library nor develop. They are in the files to which they were exported

Not sure how to get this going seems rather redundant.
In the last 4 - 5 days I have imported several hundred RAW files, done some minimal post processing and exported these images to various files (I have verified that the images are in the files to which I exported them). These images to no show up in previous imports nor do they show up in library nor develop film strips. How or can I get them to show up for additional review and possible manipulation. I recently did this same operation with largle JPEG files and all went well.
I did initially have some problems with LR recognizing the RAW files but some how was able to overcome that ( perhaps a card issue they are old card and the JPEGs were on a new card hmmmm!!??)
Any ways I supposed I can reimport them from their current files but that is a redundant pain. Suggestions would be apprediated

One possibility is that you accidentally opened a new/different catalog.
Look at File->Open Recent and open the catalogs shown there and see if your photos appear

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance
its 1000s of songs . Originally I used the time machine as a networked drive but it can cause the songs to pause so I'm thinking it would be better to have the songs on the internal imac drive
how can I move the songs so I can re-open iTunes and the playlists (with plays in the 100s) find the song in the new place?

Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.
