Convert to MP3 - where are the files?

Just imported a CD (my own recording = no copyright protection) into iTunes and need to convert it to MP3. Changed the iTunes importing preferences to import using MP3 encoder and the files play in iTunes ...
...but where are they?
Where are the actual MP3 files?

That's what's so strange ... there is no "Artist -> Album" folder.
I placed the CD into the Mac & it asked if I wanted to import - said yes & the tracks popped up in the "recently imported" menu choice on the left. I created a playlist & drug all the tracks to the playlist.
I can't even find any evidence on the computer that any files were imported from the CD. The tracks play fine in iTunes, but there aren't any corresponding files on the computer I can see - MP3 or otherwise.
I'm looking in Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Music
(There are several folders in there, but they are MP3s that I manually put into that folder so they'd appear in iTunes. It's the reverse I'm having trouble with - when you import music from a CD where does it store those files?)

SYSLOGD gone wild - where are the files?

Hey all,
Yesterday I had 15GB of free HD yesterday, it told me today that I was down to 100MB.
Confused - because I haven't added any files, I check the activity monitor and found that SYSLOGD was running, and using an absurd amount of processor and disc access.
I searched on it, and it seems to relate to Time Machine, which I'm not using.
SO... I rebooted, and now it's not running any more. BUT - the hard disc space is still gone, and I don't know where the files are that I need to delete to free it up.
I've loaded a disc scanning utility to try to find where a new 15GB file might be hiding, but I'm thinking it's in the hidden area of the disc.
QUESTION 1 : Where are the files SYSLOGD wrote and how can I delete them?
QUESTION 2: What made it run, and how can I keep it from happening again?
Thanks!

If you're looking for trash sounds, those are located in /System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/ . If you're wanting to change the put stuff in trash and empty trash sounds, then follow these steps.
Convert your sounds to aif, save them in some convenient location.
Replace the two sound files *"move to trash"* and *"drag to trash"* inside the Finder and Dock folders, respectively, inside the SystemSounds folder, with the one you want for putting things in the trash and the *"empty trash*" one inside the Finder folder with the new one for emptying the trash.
Ensure that you rename the new ones the same as the originals. (I usually copy the originals and add a .bak suffix so I can restore the sounds to their original condition.)
OPTION-click the Finder's Dock icon and select Relaunch.
Do note that if you'll have to authenticate to copy, rename, and replace these files. I use the Terminal with the sudo command to affect the changes.

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full

HT2500 Where are the files of past mail kept in the Mail program.

I want to do an additional backup of my email on Mail. Where are the files of stored past mails kept? In the same Mail.app?
Thanks
Gil

Hi Gil,
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

HT4796 Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

Hello. It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos. What I did:
First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords. I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands.
Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically! I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random. But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
Thanks for the discussion and help.

Now when someone sends me a file I have no choice of where that file is saved... Where are the files saved? OS: Windows 8 Thank you

Welcome to the discussions,
Your music and movies should still be part of the iTunes library on your computer. See if your movies are listed in "movies" in the left window in iTunes.
Photos you took with the phone are part of the last backup, if you did not sync after that. If you did, the data got overwritten.
See what else is inside the backup and how to restore from it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

Where are the files stored for shared applications?

Hello,
When I go to iTunes/iPad/Apps and then choose Pages under "File Sharing" and move a few files over, where are those files stored? Does iTunes make another copy and store it somewhere or does it just reference the location I copied from?
Also, if I move a file over and then delete that file, does it delete from the File Sharing section as well the next time I sync?

The information/data for apps is stored together with the app in both the iPad and in the backup on your computer. When you drop a file in the file sharing section of apps it gets added to the backup and to the iPad. When you delete it it get deleted from the backup and from the iPad.

How do I restore calendars in Lion iCal Server? Where are the files?

I am ready to pull my hair out.
I am an Apple Consultant as well. However, Apple's choice to move to a postgres database without proper management tools is astounding.
So, Apple makes a dump file every night into /Library/Server/PostgreSQL/Backup.
Note from the Advaced Admin help doc on apple.com:
"Calendar event data is stored in a postgres database, with some support files in the file system.
This is different from Snow Leopard Server, where all calendar data files were stored on the file system. Now only attachments and the proxy database are stored on the file system. All other calendar data is stored in a database.
When backing up calendar server files, make sure to back up the /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/ directory and the postgres databases.
Database files
iCal Server uses database files for various purposes. It uses a postgres database to store calendar data. It uses sqlite files to store proxy relationships. To troubleshoot or resolve problems, an administrator needs to use postgres database queries. Teaching postgres database manipulation is beyond the scope of this topic.
To access the database, you need to use postgres and pg_ctl command-line tools."
I had a server crash at a client, and after TWO-THREE HOURS on phone with AppleCare Enterprise support, they said it would need an $895 support agreement to restore the calendars. YET APPLE'S BUILDS IN THE BACKUP, BUT NOT THE RESTORE??
Yes, Time Machine has been working.
Anyone else have any bright ideas?

Thanks for catching that. I didn't notice my signature. No, I'm running 10.8.1 and have everything updated to the very latest versions.
I'm syncing many calendars to iCloud now, but there are about 10 that are not. They're still listed as "On My Mac" and I need to move them to iCloud.

Where are the files saved in?

Hello.
This might look a silly question for you, but it's not for me, since I started using JNLP a couple hours ago.
Well. I usually would give the users a JAR file or use a setup to put it in a specific folder.
In my program, I have a database that's supposed to be the core of the app, and cannot be deleted or de-cached at any circumstance.
So.. I would like to know where the files are saved (heard something about the "documents and settings" folder) so I can later do a backup.
Furthermore, I would like to know if and how I can save the JAR in a specific folder and if I can include another type of resources to download other than .jar and native libraries (maybe some txt?)
Thanks.

They are saved somewhere like this:

But it seems strange the you want to know where they are. I worry that you might be going about something the wrong way.

Exactly where are the files stored when imported off a camera into iPhoto ?

see subject line,,,, but when i use iphoto's ''iphoto'' to import files off a camera versus the ''image capture'' they do not appear anywhere in the picture folder, this does not make sense,,,image capture seems to dumb the files into the picture folder
and,,,,,i understand what iPhoto 08 does with the files that are imported into the library from the picture folder but where are iphotos library versions stored?????
also,,,,,i'm putting time and effort into organizing a ''''library'''' only to have none of those efforts taking effect on the folders and files in the picture folder - this seems odd this is like organizing a 2 sets of books in a library == 1 set you want the public to see and one set you what to keep organized in the basement for future storage and retrival and from duplication
i need convincing this makes sense and help on a better system

You're confusing iPhoto with an File Manager. The Mac has one of those, it's called the Finder
When you organise things into albums and slideshows etc in the iPhoto Window there is no corresponding folders of images for each album. That would be a waste of disk space. Instead, each album is a virtual entity: in reality, a list of pics that you want to app to display together. So, no, you're not organising two sets of books, what you're doing is arranging the photos as you want them to be displayed while your assistant (the app) is looking after the files.
Events, however, are not virtual. Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
So, think of it this way. You do your organising in the iPhoto Window. Let the application look after the basement.

CG36VEN - where are the files stored?

Transaction CG36VEN is intended to allow users to "Import Vendor MSDS" documents (and actually, other documents as well.) My question is, where are these documents physically stored? As someone who works with DMS and Archivelink, I'd like to know what the default behavior of this transaction is, and if it's possible to configure it to utilize the Content server if it doesn't do it by default.
Thanks!
Bill Bessette

hi,
The following data carrier types are supported as secure storage areas for storing original application files:
1. SAP Database (settings available in standard SAP System)
    The SAP Database is a Secure Storage Area that is predefined internally in the standard SAP System. This storage method is suitable for small files (for example, text files) because all of the original application files are also stored to the database.
2. Archive (selection in Customizing Document Management and data transport using the SAP ArchiveLink interface)
The archive is a Secure Storage Area t hat the original files are transported to via the SAP ArchiveLink interface. T
The archiving process takes place on a special archive server.
3. Vault (definition in Customizing Document Management)
   You can set up a vault in the standard SAP System where the original application files are transferred to the frontend
   computers via an application server.
4. HTTP content Server: external server, stores originals through Kpro. this is more recomended for DMS.
According to your Configuration of Storage senarios u have to select these methods.
EX: Business document in your case u have to select Archivelinking via HTTP content server.
Uneed basic configuration for Archivelinking.
suppose u did not configured your document type and storage menthods, thet time Sytem stores original in SAP DATA BASE.
this is not recomanded. So your document is in SAP DB. Not in Content server. i guess.

Where are the files stored?

So...does anyone know where the files for iWeb are stored on our iDisk?
I can clearly see all the ones that are still on my Homepage. Movies are stored in the, of course, Movies folder, and photo albums are in the Pictures folder.
But the new ones that I've created with iWeb...and which work just fine...well...I can't seem to locate them.
The reason I'm askiing is that I'm thinking of possibly moving all my homepage stuff over to my new site and then...in theory...deleting the files used by homepage. But if they are still needed by iWeb, then I wouldn't delete them.
However...I can't find the files for my iWeb site on iDisk. Anyone have any ideas?
<img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c268/bat9man/batman75.gif"

OK...problem solved. It actually occured to me as I was reading over my last post.
I remembered that previously when I had put something into the public folder of my iDisk so that someone could access it, it only showed up in the iDisk when viewed from the compter from whence it was sent...even after syncing. And then, when it did finally show up on both computers, it was a pain to delete it and have it not show on both computers.
So, remembering that I had first created the site on the iBook, although finishing on the iMac, I went over to the iBook and checked the iDisk that showed up.
Glory be...there was a Web folder.
So that's that. I can now sleep peacefully.
I do find it strange, thought that I can update and publish on the iMac, have it upload to the iDisk, and yet not show files. Curious.
