Curious case of file location

hello all!
SO in a botched attempt to move my iTunes library to abother hare drive, I've created a library that doesn't know where the files are.
11st attempt I followed the instructions by creating the new location and consolidating files to move them there, but all files didn't go so I manu ally added them to the directory by dragging them and somehow I tripled the size of my library. So, I deleted the library and just dragged the files as the structure remains the same as far as I can see.... But even though the files are all in the location now that itunes points to for each file, it acts like it doesn't know they are there and asks me to locate each file with few exception.
suggestions? I'd prefer not to lose my playlists and ratings!
if I were to reimport the entire library, how do I delete the old library info yet retain ratings and such?
thank you

Hey again NCRobino,
You can resolve the issue with duplicates by using the information in this article to help you eliminate the duplicates:
Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht2905
I would suggest that you do this first, then, if you are still experiencing issues with activating iTunes Match, you will want to use the information in this article:

Only two hard drives - optimal file locations?

Hi,
Can anyone tell what would be the optimal file location configuration (regarding perfomance) when there are only two physical hard drives available? One is abviously running the OS (Windows XP), but how to locate raw images, ACR cache and catalog-files for optimal performance (and are there any other file locations to consider from LR point of view)? The search did not provide answer to this question, and with google everything pretty much boils down to having (at least) three physical hard drives or RAID-array, which are not an option for me.
The workstation can have only two internal drives but allows dedicated controllers for both of them, and I would prefer not to have external drive (only USB2 and FW400 connectors available). Memory is already maxed for the current mother board, and disk activity seems to be next place to optimize. The current performance is "ok", but it would not hurt to squeeze a bit more.
Running Windows XP and LR 2.3.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your advice. It has been quite a pain to find out credible setup hints for simple two drive setup.
This slightly differs from original topic, but...
Have there been more inprovements within 2.4 code than have been mentioned in release notes (e.g. http://thelightroomlab.com/2009/06/lightroom-24-and-adobe-camera-raw-54-available/)? I have currently no need for additional camera support, and the bugs mentiones as "fixed" have not been a problem for me. I have had some cases with inconsistent plug-in behaviour (and few crashes) with export plug-ins, but I have judged those as problems either with SDK or plug-in itself.

Changing swap file location on tray-loader iMacs

This is not a question, but something I discovered that makes my old tray-loader iMac (the oldest iMac models) run Mac OS X much better.
As you may know, these oldest iMacs have an 8GB size limit on the boot volume. The largest stock drive on these iMacs was 6GB. That means if your upgraded hard drive is larger than 8GB, it must be partition so that the first partition is under 8GB (7.78GB on my iMac), and it must be the boot partition where the OS is installed (whether it's Mac OS X or 9).
In my case, I have a roomy 120GB hard drive (I believe the useable limit on these iMacs is 128GB). The first partition is just under 8GB, the second partition is the rest of the space, about 104GB. I have used every trick out there to move files (such as the iTunes music folder and most of my user/documents files) off to the second partition, to make free space on the boot partition as large as possible. So I have 3.5GB free on my 8GB boot partition. This is about 40% of the volume's total space so it seems pretty good, until you realize that most recent Macs have much more than the TOTAL 8GB I have, as free space on the boot volume. Mac OS X was just not designed to work well with small boot volumes...
Mac OS X uses the free space on the boot volume for its virtual memory "swap file." Considering these old iMacs max out at 512MB of RAM, virtual memory is being used quite a bit. But since space on the boot volume is very limited, low RAM and lack of free space can lead to performance issues. Here's what I observed. When I initially started up my iMac, I had about 3.5GB of free space. Over time, as I used more and more apps, that free space would diminish until I had only about 600MB remaining (as reported by a Finder window). At the same time, I noticed performance getting bogged down and more "chugging" sounds coming from the hard-working hard drive.
I've known about changing location of the swap file, but never tried it until recently. During the Mac OS X boot process, the Mac sets the location of the swap file. By default, the swap file resides on the boot volume (I believe most other Unix-based systems use a dedicated "swap partition" for the swap file). Since most recent Macs have large drives set up as one partition (and there is plenty of free space), and since many users have upgraded their RAM (and virtual memory is not as critical), swap file location is usually not an issue, and there is certainly no need to change the swap file location. However, on my iMac with an 8GB limit on the boot volume and 512MB of RAM, it made a noticeable difference.
I found one set of procedures on the web that was much better than the others I found for changing the location of the swap file.
http://www.math.columbia.edu/~bayer/OSX/swapfile/
On this page, there are two choices for Panther users. I used the one that works for both Panther and Tiger, because it appeared to me to be more straightforward. The author intentionally keeps the instructions somewhat technical to discourage users who are not technically inclined. I don't consider myself to be too "geeky," but I can follow instructions and type a few commands in Terminal.
After I changed the swap file location to a large mostly empty volume, I noticed much better performance when I have many large apps open at the same time. Performance no longer degrades over time, and the free space on my boot volume remains a constant 3.6GB.
The reason for this post is to share this information. Some users of these old iMacs may be noticing the same issues I had. This is a possible solution. However, if everything is OK with your set up, there is no reason to change the swap file location. If you try it, be sure to take the usual data backup precautions.
If anyone else has experience with changing swap file location, please post your comments here.

Problem has been solved:

Get Current File Location in ADOBE form

Hi All
I need to get the location and file name of current file upon http submit in the form.
How can we get current file location in abobe form.
I am trying to use JavaScript var path = window.location.pathname;
Also tried app.activeDocument.path property. But this does not work either.
Any inputs will be really helpful
Thanks
Kaushal

Hi Suhail,
You can query the runtime on this, and these are some examples on how to get this:
You will need to find the correct location:
select location_name
from all_rt_locations
where location_type = 'File System'
You will also need the path:
select PARAMETER_VALUE from ALL_RT_LOCATION_PARAMETERS
where location_name = 'SRC_FILES_LOC'
and PARAMETER_NAME = 'RootPath'
Do NOTE that the location type and RootPath things are case sensitive.
For the file name..., I think you will have to dig around in the mapping. I don't have an exact example but this is in the direction you will need to be looking if you want to select this from the repository:
-- This script selects all mappings, its operators and the binding to the repository objects
-- You can use this to assess the impact of a change to a repository object to your mappings
-- The script will ask for a parameter specifying the project name. Note that this is case sensitive

How to Provide File Path in MII 12 to access file located in Network Path

Hi,
How can I locate a file which is placed Network Path?
Iam trying to access PDF file which is stored in Network Drive, I just want to open folder which contains all PDF files located in some Network Path on click of button.
I tried all possibilities like below:
window.open("file
\G:");
window.open("
SERVER-NAME
Folder Name");
But Iam unable to Fix this.
Please Help me in this regard
Regards,
Padma

Hi Rao,
this is less a MII than a browser or mapping problem.
You can access a local file in a browser like this:
window.open('file:///c:/folder/file.txt');
However, in case of MII local means local to the MII server. So in the above example the file is located on the c driver of the MII server.
If you want to access files on a network drive, the folders to the files should be mapped on the MII server so you are able to address them like they were local files.
I haven't tried to address network folders directly, because we are running MII on Unix.

Best practices re file locations for bootstrap, fonts, js, imgs, custom css regardless of App provisioning or Design Manager

Hi
I am working with a media company who are producing our responsive branding which includes bootstrap for a new publishing intranet. It occurred to me that I need to encourage consistency in the file locations regardless of if the files are provisioned
through an App I will build or through Design Manager and my mapped network drive.
client css
client js
client imgs
client fonts
bootstap css, and js
other frameworks: Jquery, knockout, angularjs
Previously, the the 2010 world, I tended to go for the benefits of the Site Collection libraries: /Site Assets/client/img and /Style Library/client/css and Style Library/client/js but having look at some the codeplex stuff such as Boostrap or
Responsive for SharePoint 2013 ( using _layouts/ , I am thinking I need to revisit this for both on prem and maybe office 365 stuff I am doing shortly.
Be good to get a few opinions on this

Hi Dan the Man,
I recommend keeping them within the site that they are for, as opposed to at the root of the site collection. So not here:
http://mysiteurl.com/ but rather here
http://mysiteurl.com/sites/mysitename
Cheers,
Stacy Anothersharepointblog.blogspot.com
Hi Stacy
Thanks for your comment. In the case of my client there will be a fair amount of common stuff that will be on the top level site and also the subsites say bootstrap and certain corporate images. However, I agree, the UI will have more granularity
in the branding If I deploy your option. Say I have business area site which will have a different CSS to reflect its identity; even if has the same master page as other business area sub sites. Also, nn sites could have nn file structures
for css, js, etc which would take a bit of management.Maybe there is a "hybrid" approach I need to consider here.

How to open a file located at server using JSP

hi,
i would like to open a file located at server as it is. I mean to say, if it a MS Word file, i wanna open it in MS Word, if it an Excel file, i wanna open it in Excel. i know the location (path) of the file. Can someone help me please.
Thanx

The best way would simply be to HREF it.
ie<a href="excelfiles/spreadsheet.xls">Open spreadsheet</a>When a user then clicks on that lick in their browser they should be given the option to either download or (if they have the appropriate program, in this case MS Excel, installed) open it.
This works best if the client is using a version of Internet Explorer (if you're dealing with MS files), but any browser should potentially offer you the option of opening the file.
Beyond that there's no way to specifically open a program on a client machine (it'd be a bit of a security loophole if you could! - Imagine a JSP page being able to open FDISK...). All you can do is pass the file (via the HREF) and let the client decide what to do with it.

Where is fndload output file located?

Hi,
FNDLOAD generates a log and out file. The log file is generated in the current directory but I could not find the out file in the current directory as well as the output directory.
Can somebody please tell where is this output file located?
Thanks in advance.

So just curious where in the world is this output file? :)I believe Dinesh has already answered this question (Isn't LDT files are output files for download process?).
When you run FNDLOAD, it will create a log file and LDT file (as the output file). I thought the LDT file is not created at all, and this is what I was trying to troubleshoot! I should have paid attention to your line above in this thread (the directory does not have any files other than the LDT and LOG files) :)

Can TM Backup Files Located on G4 Running OS 10.4.11?

Purchased MyBook and utilized the WD Backup software in order to backup files located on G4 running 10.4.11. Since then, have purchased a G5 iMac running 10.6.5.
Before I reformat the MyBook in order to utilize TM to automatically backup the iMac, I'd like to ensure that I can also backup the G4 files using TM via File Sharing w/ethernet connection between the two computers.
If TM can't do this automatically, I am prepared to copy the files from the G4 "manually" over to the WD MyBook once it is reformated. Since I am using the G5 almost 100% of the time, I am mostly concerned about creating a single backup of the entire G4 (which is already on the WD MyBook but will be lost if I reformat).
What would be the best way to do that (creae a complete backup of the G4) if TM cannot be utilized?
Thanks.

A G5 iMac can't run OS X 10.6.5. Either it's an Intel iMac or it's running (at most) OS X 10.5.x. From your system details, it seems to be running OS X 10.5.6, in which case your message should have been posted in the Leopard area instead of the Snow Leopard area.

You could divide that WD disk into two partitions. Use one with Time Machine to back up the iMac. When you want to back up the G4, turn off Time Machine, dismount the WD disk, then use SuperDuper! (http://www.shirt-pocket.com/) or Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/) to make a "clone" backup of the G4. After the backup is complete, dismount the WD disk, mount it on the G5, then turn Time Machine back on.

ITunes automatically deleted Podcast file location?

Hello,
I recently had an interesting situation that I can't seem to solve so I thought I'd turn to the community for help. I currently subscribe to a particuar podcast and have the iTunes settings configured to ONLY keep the two most recent episodes before iTunes automatically deletes older episodes. Everything was going smoothly until this week when I realized that I actually wanted to keep an episode that was automatically downloaded (the episode that was deleted was deleted today and I started serching for it today).
The simple answer would be for me to just re-download the episode that iTunes automatically deleted...but that is not possible. Unfortunately, the episode that I was saving is no longer available so I can't re-download it (yes, an episode from three weeks ago is no long available to download because the podcaster changed the episode and re-uploaded a new shorter episode in it's place). After checking the trash, I noticed the file wasn't there so I turned to a file recovery program (Disk Drill). After running the utility, I was able to locate all of the podcasts that I had manually deleted, but the podcast episodes that iTunes automatically removed (due to the settings I put in place) are not included in the list of files.
I'm assuming that iTunes must delete the files in some other method, but if that's the case, the files have to go somewhere, right? Any ideas on where these files may be located...or any thoughts on how to recover the podcast episode?
Thanks to anyone for any assistance or thoughts.
T.J.

Thanks, Jeremy292. I was looking for a word and didn't notice the icon.

Mail cannot open hyperlink of file located in windows server 2003

My macbook air has access to shared directory located in a windows server 2003 machine via smb mount. However, when I get an email containing a hyperlink of a file located in the shared directory, mail cannot open the link. Any ideas?

You might read the EULA and confirm the issue I have mentioned. I might not be correct in my estimate, but just gave a sounds like opinion. If it is a violation, then removing it is wise. Typically, Acrobat must be installed on each individual machine. There are multiple license options and server options, but you would need to contact Adobe for more information on those areas. Hope you can get them to talk to you in such a case.

Preference File Location

Now that I have spent much time getting my preferences customized, I would like to back them up to another location in case I have to reload. Where are these files located?

Typically, C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop (your version).
