Data folder

I have a 40GB Zen Jukebox Xtra that I haven't used in some time (because I lost the charger). I have some data files on there I really want to get off there. Since I last used the device though, I have changed computers and lost the disc that came with the player. I've downloaded any software I can find, but can only access the music files from the player and not the data folder through My Computer like I used to be able to. Does anyone know where I can get the software/firmware or whatever I need so I can access the data folder?

Hate bumping, but bump.

Data folder can not be opened in finding " AirPort Time Capsule " The operation can not be completed because the original item for " data" does not exist .

Hi
I have a " AirPort Time Capsule " (firmware 7.7.3) When I try to open the data folder in "finder". Then I got the message " The operation can not be completed because the original item for " data" does not exist". I have a lot of data and I can understand why I get this message?
Anyone who can help? Thanks..

Get a USB drive of 2TB or more.. assuming your TC is 2TB. Either preformatted Mac or plug into your Mac and format it standard Mac OS Extended Journaled in disk utility.
Do a full archive of the TC. You do this using airport utility. Do not click the erase disk.. I marked in green.. just the archive.. that is to backup the internal disk to the USB disk. It is not fast.. take it that the process will go at around 40-50GB/hr.
Once you complete the archive .. it is a direct image of the data on your TC.. you can then plug it into your computer directly.. and then try and open the files you lost.. if you cannot open them.. open disk utility and fix the permissions.
http://osxdaily.com/2015/01/13/repair-disk-permissions-mac-os-x/
Or try the methods apple recommends..
OS X Yosemite: Set permissions for items on your Mac
It is possible to fix things on the USB drive because it is locally mounted.. but you cannot fix it on TC which is network drive.

I have lost pictures in iPhoto, but I can see them in the data folder, except they are only thumbnail size. They will not open at regular size and are showing unreadable in the "originals" folder. I've rebuilt and nothing is restoring these pics.

I have lost pictures in my iPhoto. We moved my iPhoto to a external hard drive and I believe since then, I have random pics missing. Some pics will show up in the "photos" and some show with a title and a blank picture. When I click on "package contents" in iPhoto, I have found the "Originals" folder where all the pics are pulling from and the file is there but won't open. However, in the DataXML folder under package contents, I can open the file but it is much smaller (supposed to be 1 MG, but showing in the data folder as 63kb). How can I get these pics restored in the Originals folder? I've rebuilt the library several times and I just ran the iPhoto Library Manager and it won't pull from the data file. Help!!

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.

Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?

Photos in Data folder not appearing in iPhoto albums

I was looking through some older albums the other day and noticed that many of them only had 1 picture in them. It did not contain a bunch of other missing photos, but rather no other photos at all. After freaking out for a second, I went into the iPhoto Library ("Show package contents") and in the Data folder under the album name for that year, found the JPG files for all these photos.
Is there a way to "rebuild" the iPhoto database or something? It seems to not be synchronized with the contents of the Data folder. I'm wondering how many other albums this may have happened to.
I did recently (in the last 6 months) upgrade to iPhoto '08 so I'm wondering if it's some strange side effect of the upgrade process.

LarryHN wrote:
1 - are you talking about albums (the logical entities that link to photos in the library) or events - the primary way to display the contents of your library
I'm talking about the Events themselves but also the Albums that I created using pictures in those Events.
2 - it is recommended that you do not mess around in the iPhoto library - doing so can corrupt or library and create problems
I was not messing around but rather confirming that there were still JPG files in there as opposed to them having disappeared completely.
3 - the photos in the data folder are not associated with albums - they are the thumbnails for displaying photos in events or albums
Cool, that helps. I checked the Originals folder and found the original JPGs there too. I'm sure they're not thumbnails because they are all 600KB+.
4 - you can rebuild by launching iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and choosing the first three rebuild options - but this does not sound like a good bet
Why is rebuilding not a good idea?
5 - can you describe your situation in a bit more detail using the iPhoto terminology so we are all talking about the same things
Hope that helped!
Thanks,
Bradley

I still have no way how to deal with the LabView Data folder automatically created in the My Documents folder whenever I run the application

I tried numerous ways that some people suggested in this forum but did not succeed in having the LabView Data folder created somewhere else than in My Documents when running a built LabView application. Changing the target destination folder did not help at all. A member suggested to put some line like " defaultdestination = ..." or so into the build file, but I did not know where exactly to put such a line. That folder created is particularly anoying for people who don't normally use LabView but are only using the application. Please let me know when you LabView Experts out there have found a way to eliminate or relocate the creation of that folder at application startup.
Thanks a lot.

Tim,
use the path constant located in the Functions pallette under 'File I/O->File Constants->Default Data Directory'. It refers either to the default directory (which is (osdatadir)\Labview Data on my WinXP system) OR TO A NON DEFAULT PATH if you have defined one. To define a non-default path, got to the menu 'Tools->Options...' and change the entry under 'Paths->Default Data Directory'. This change will create an entry in the labview.ini file (located where the labview.exe is), e.g. the entry 'DefaultDataFileLocation=d:\temp' is created when I change the default data dir to 'D:\temp'.
Now for a compiled .exe with the name (say) myapp.exe you will find a file myapp.ini in the same location where myapp.exe is. It is usually an emtpy file directly after the application build process. Put the line 'DefaultDataFileLocation=(your path)' in this file.
Users of your compiled app can either
- edit this .ini file to change the default,
- or you can make the menu entry 'Tools->Options...' accessible in the built VI
- or you can provide a self written dialog in your app and modify the myapp.ini programmatically
(This last way is probably not a good one since the user might have to relaunch myapp.exe in order to affect a change of the 'Default Data Directory' path constant)

Deleted Data folder in iPhoto, now NO photos!

I just deleted my Data folder thinking it would free some space on my computer. Stupid, I know. I tried rebuilding my thumbnails and such but only have 7 photos to import (from my iPhone). Where did they go? And how can I restore them?
I can view the thumbnails in my Pictures file but I can't move them over to iPhoto. What do I do?

1 - remember two rules:
-- Always have a current backup so when something happens -and it will - you can simply load your backup
-- never make any changes of any sort to the contents or structure of any database - including iPhoto
2 - unless you can restore your data folder exactly as it was before you deleted it you will have to start over - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the desktop - launch iPhoto and create a new library - open the iPhoto library on your desktop and open the originals folder and drag each folder in it onto the iPhoto library window (or on the iPhoto icon in the dock) - this will recreate events with all of your photos - no edits, no projects, albums, keepsakes, MobileMe galleries, etc
Once your new library is finished and tested you can trash the remaining parts of the iPhoto library that is on your desktop

The Ipad2 Application Data folder is taking up huge space in C: Drive. How can I shift the User Application data for iPad2 to another Drive?

The Ipad2 Application Data folder is taking up huge space in C: Drive. How can I shift the User Application data for iPad2 to another Drive?

Thanks a lot for the response. Yes, I am checking my C: drive data thoroughly now, including the hidden folders, to ascertain if something else can be moved, as per your suggestion.

Made trouble for myself by moving data folder. Need help to fix.

I did something that was not smart. I was trying to access photos via online and I moved my iphoto data folders to the desktop. Now, I don't know how to move the data folder back and I don't want to screw it up even worse. If I go into iphoto the thumbnails are blank, but when you double-click you can see the photo. How do I fix my careless mistake?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
First off, try move the Data folder back:
Quit iPhoto
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Drag the Data Folder in there.
Close the Window.
Start iPhoto.
I was trying to access photos via online
I've no idea what this means but There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
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.

Why can't I get my old bookmarks and passwords back using the 'Old Firefox Data' folder?

Hi,
Ok.....
I have just recovered my Samsung laptop back to the day I purchased it (for a fresh start)
I have the 'Old Firefox Data' folder on an external hard drive that was created a few weeks ago when I refreshed Firefox
I've tried this many times but with no luck what so ever:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
I've re-installed Firefox 3 times
I've created new profiles and deleted others
2 Days down and I'm still can't get any of my bookmarks or passwords etc and for some reason when I create a new profile I can't find it as it's not in the location 'Profile Manager' says it is.
I'm now total lost and getting stressed out as I really need this data.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply's.
I've been able to restore/apply all of my data (bookmarks, passwords etc) on my girl friends computer without any issues at all, therefore it's not something I'm doing wrong.
I've been so involved with trying to get my profile back on my computer I hadn't noticed that Firefox is not operating as it should, I've found:
- I'm unable to view/open my profile folder from 'Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder' (when I click 'Show Folder' nothing happens) however when I go to 'C:\Users\AutoStar\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles' I can view the data.
- I'm unable to save any bookmarks
- Sometimes when I try to close a tab it will not close as such however once the 'x' is clicked I'm then unable to view the page but the tab still stays visible
As I said I recovered the laptop back to the day I purchased it (for a fresh start) so Firefox was a fresh install I've also uninstalled and re-installed a few times now but the result is always the same.
Any ideas?

Images stored in Application Data folder are not visible in HTML Page generated by AIR Application

Hi Programmers,
I have an AIR application where in I am capturing the images of persons via web cam and storing them in the Application Data folder of the users machine. I am successfully able to do so.
However, when generating the report in the HTML format from within the AIR application, I use the image captured and give the absolute path. but some how the image doesnt appear in the browser, I get the icon for image not found.
When I right click on the image, select property and copy the image path in new browser, I can see that image. Any thoughts on why this is happening?
Thanks,

I tried changing the directory as following in java class:
File trgDir = new File("/tmp/myTarget/");

FileUtils.copyDirectory(srcDir, trgDir);

so is there any way to circumvent this problem.
Any help would be appreciated

I have Old Firefox Data folder before i formated my laptop . but i just cant find how to use this folder for my new firefox to regain all the bookmarks i had.

I had some issue with my Firefox (it crashes when i starts), so i format my laptop to factory setting and now i got new Firefox installed and left with this Old Firefox Data folder.
my question is :
Ii understand the profile in my Old Firefox Data contains my Bookmarks and information i previously had before i formatted, i just do not know how to apply this Old Firefox Data to my new Firefox to get what i need.
How do i use Old Firefox Data to restore all my bookmarks and information?

You can move some files from the "Old Firefox Data" folder to the current Firefox profile folder.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
It is best to only copy what you need and avoid copying the full profile content.

Cannot find Master Data folder in the SAP Netweaver

Hello,
I need to create Open Catalog Interface (OCI) punch out system for our web shop. In order to test it I need SRM server that can call our web shop. I have downloaded this SRM software and installed it in my local computer:
ABAP_Trial_7_02_SP11_Win_64_bit_Version_with_Gateway_2_0_SP04
But I cannot see the Master Data folder inside the SAP Easy Access. Does that mean SAP SRM server has not been installed on my computer? If yes, how can I install it? Can i have it for free or I should pay for it?
Best regards,

Update data folder in Palm Desktop 6.2.2

I've got an installation of Palm Desktop where my data files are kept in a non-standard location on a different hard drive. This helps keep the important address and datebook stuff separate from my primary file system. Sometimes Palm Desktop loses track of what I'm trying to do and appears to wipe all the data out. Upon closer inspection, I found that it had created a new database on:
C:\Palm OS Desltop\
naughty naughty , because it should be in My Documents (on a different hard drive, the J:drive) which should be:
J:\my docs\Palm OS Desktop
You can tell your Palm Desktop to go to the correct place by:
1. shut down Palm Desktop
2. shut down the HotSync Manager (right click on the task bar icon and hit 'Exit')
3. run regedit (start> run> type in "regedit", hit enter
4. navigate inside regedit to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
5. modify the "Path" from "\Palm OS Desktop" to "J:\my docs\Palm OS Desktop", with out the quotes
6. restart HotSync Manager, run Palm desktop, and you should be good to go.
A little note: the program regedit is not for the feint of heart. You are modifying some pretty obscure, but important, data that the software on your computer uses for behind the scenes stuff. Be very careful when making changes to Registry using regedit. If you screw this up, you could find yourself in a tricky situation.

Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Hello. I know I'm responding to an old post, but I want to refer to the procedure outlined here.
Before sending my laptop in for repair I removed my Palm Desktop data folder for security reasons. It was in a non-standard place (D:\Palm\Palm Desktop). Now, with my laptop back, I can't get the Desktop or Hotsync to recognize this path. I tried the regedit you suggested, but my path is still not recognized. Desktop creates C:\Users\Bob\Documents\Palm OS Desktop instead.
This is maddening because I know I did this successfully when I bought the machine 3 years ago.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Forum FAQ:Why Application Data folder is not accessible

Why Application Data folder is not accessible
Question
When I access the Application Data folder with administrative privilege on my computer, I get an error message "Access is denied".
Answer
Note:
This FAQ is based on discussions from a previous forum thread (
Accessing "Application Data" in Windows 7 ). Thanks to Ronnie Vernon and other participants' information sharing.
In Windows Vista or later Operating Systems, the default location of user data has changed. The
Application Data folder is not an actual folder. It is a
Junction Point for backward compatibility. A Junction Point is a physical location on a local hard disk that points to another location on that disk or another storage device. It is essentially a shortcut.
You might have noticed when clicking on a folder in
Windows Explorer with a shortcut icon shown on it (a Junction Point ), you get an
Access Denied error message. This is to be expected. By default, the Read permission for Junction Points is set to
Everyone – Deny . You are not supposed to access these folders, and there really is no reason to access these folders.
If you want to know where are those Junction Points pointing to. You can track down the real location of the files by running the command
dir /aL to display all the Junction Points and the locations that the
Junction Points refers to.
For example:
If you want to track down all Junction Points on C: drive, please locate C: drive and enter the following command:
C:\>dir /aL /s

This article is nonsense. Applications store data in this folder that needs "backed up." As one example only, bookmarks for Google Chrome.
"You are not supposed to access these folders, and there really is no reason to access these folders."

I did this -- Windows 7 and Vista 1. Select the Start Menu in the Windows Taskbar. 2. In the Search box, enter the following: %APPDATA% 3. Press Enter. 4. From the Application Data folder, navigate to Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. 5. D

When I sign out of FF and want to go back in, I have to go through Task Mgr each time by deleting FF and then signing back in. I followed these directions -- Select the Start Menu in the Windows Taskbar. 2. In the Search box, enter the following: %APPDATA% 3. Press Enter. 4. From the Application Data folder, navigate to Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. 5. Delete the file xpicleanup.dat. 6. Restart Firefox. --- but I could not find Mozilla Firefox under 'Program Files'.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a week ago

Where did you find those instructions to delete the '''xpicleanup.dat''' file?
