Data Stored Where?

Where does iCal store the calendar data?
I want to add it to my daily backup routine, I do not want to use the File:Backup manual process.

I had the same question. Want to make sure I'm getting all the right files in my daily click to Apple's Backup. Older versions of Backup used to have a Package for each of the Apple Apps... Address Book, iCal, and Safari... that would back up all the key files. This answers the iCal part. What about Address Book and Safari? What needs to be backed up there? And where are the files?

Definitive Word On ID3 Tags, Library Files & Which Data Is Stored Where...

I have spent a few hours just now (and have read the discussions a lot previously) on various iTunes issues, namely ones pertaining to organization and storage of data & info. I still have quite a few questions I would like the definitive answers for. If anyone knows for sure, thanks in advance for your response!
1) Is there any difference between how and where iTunes stores data for audio (mp3, m4a, aif, etc.) files vs. movie (mpg, mp4, mov) files, and if so, what are they?
2) In the info tabs/panes of tracks in iTunes, is the entered data stored in separate places? i.e., the info under the INFO pane stored in the individual media file itself while that in the OPTIONS pane stored in the main library file? Also, did I read correctly that Convert ID3 Tags causes more of the library file data to be embedded in the media file itself? (Not desirable of course, because each play would in effect "modify" the file as if it had changed and needed to be resynched, since play count is part of the data).
3) Is there a difference between where editable data (artist, title, equalizer setting, genre, rating, etc.) is stored vs uneditable data such as play count, date added, last played, etc.?
4) Is there a list somewhere online that shows what data is stored in the library file (settings unique to the iTunes) and what is universally in the standard ID3 tag in the media file itself?
5) Is it safe to assume that rating, equalizer, volume, remember position and start/stop time settings for each individual track are not in the ID3 tag but only in the library file? If so, one can then assume that merely copying the library file will preserve these settings?
6) Are ID3 tags applied and applicable to movie and audio files similarly, and do they further differ how & if they are used among each file type (mp3, m4a, aif, wav, mpg, mp4, mov, etc.)? I know with movies you cannot set or change the poster frame in mpg (muxed) files, for example.
7) I do all my iTunes importing, editing, managment, etc. on my PowerMac desktop, with the prefs, library and xml files stored in my home folder on the PowerMac's OS drive and the large media files store on an attached ext. 500 GB FW drive. If I use a synching program to continuously keep the library/xml files the same on my iBook laptop's home folder and the media files the same on another ext. 160 GB FW drive, then when I use the iBook with the 160 GB at different events it should operate exactly the same a when using my PowerMac at home with the 500 GB? The only thing I should have to change is the location of the iTunes folder in the Prefs on the iBook to point to the 160 GB, right?
8) Finally, now that iTunes 7 allows you to indicate sort order ("The Beatles" can now appear under "B" without writing "Beatles, The" as I have been) would it retain that sort when importing the song list into other database programs or even an iPod, or would it default back to "T"? (AppleWorks database has a similar feature where you can specify an ARTIST field which sorts by first letter of last word, but won't stay that way in other programs).
PHEW! ...long post I know, but I spent a lot of time reading and hopefully over time I can get the answers to most (or even all) of these questions. Thanks!!!

I read this on the ID3 site:
ID3 tags were designed with the MP3 file format in mind. ID3v2 tags will break formats which are container-based such as Ogg Vorbis and WMA. Here is some information on specific formats:
ID3 tags work in MP3 and MP3pro files
WAV has no tags
WMA has its own tagging format, which is specified in the wma spec, available in the MSDN (which unfortunately, basically does not allow Open Source implementations)
Ogg Vorbis uses "Xiph Comments" (same as later versions of FLAC and Speex), which are embedded into the Ogg container. You can find information on these in the comment and container specs on www.xiph.org
AAC uses yet another tagging format, which does not at present have a published spec as of 3/1/2006.
So since I rip in AAC, does that mean the tags work differently, are stored differently or offer different editable info? Also, I found nothing regarding tags for video files as I mentioned in my question. Within iTunes I am assuming all the information you may edit or view when you Get Info for each file is not all stored together: some is in the file's ID3 tag and others in the iTunes Library file. I guess you are always safe if you keep back-ups of your media files and library files, even if you don't always know which info resides where.
I found a complete list of frames (fields) that are available in ID3v2 at the following link, many not available in iTunes, but the site lists other apps that allow you to edit tags for both Mac & Windows.
http://www.id3.org/Frames
I am curious, if you use another app to edit the tag with a frame not offered in iTunes, will it still work in iTunes (like if you use the frame for synchronized lyrics; since it is part of the tag itself will they show up when played in iTunes even though not editable in iTunes)?

Where is the item category usage data stored?

Where is the item category usage data stored?
I'm checking the CRM system of my customer. My customer uses CRM & ERP system. Both BP data and prodact data are connecting from ERP to CRM. In Item category determination on CRM system, Item category usage exists as a condition. I know where I customize the usage setting. However,I don't know where ithem category usage data is stored. Product master data? or BP master data? Does anyone have this information?
BestRegards
Miki

If you are refering to Item category group, then this is stored o product master data on sales organizational specific data.
If you are refering to Item category usage then there is a different logic. Item category usage is is mainly hardcoded in ABAP programs. For example one logic is hardcoded for interchengabilty scenaro. In some cases you can even use badi implementation.

Where is the actual iPhoto photos data stored?

I'm trying to find the data files for iPhoto in OS X Lion, data used to be in the user Library, but I can't find that either. Where is the actual iPhoto photos data stored?

1. Set the preferences to edit in another program, Photoshop. (Advanced Tab)
2. Drag the image to the email message (the problem you describe should be fixed in 10.8.3)
3. Select all the images in the event or album and show the Info pane.
4. You have to export them first in order to compress, so either drag them out of iPhoto into the destination or use the Export command.
5. Clunky? Works pretty great for me.
6. I can access all of my photos right there in iPhoto. I can access other people's photos there, too.
If you don't want iPhoto to organize the files, tell it not to. Prefs, Advanced, Copy Items into the iPhoto Library.
If you didn't want someone to comment on this,
Seriously? It is rediculous that we needed a forum to find our own files.
Then why did you post it?
Are you an Apple OS designer and are offended or something? Why are you even looking at this post if it's not an issue for you?
Look up the thread a ways.

IPhone Apps - Where Is User Data Stored?

Where is the user data associated with an iPhone app stored? Is it stored within the app's .ipa file? For example, I use Weightbot. Is all of my personal data stored within the Weightbot.ipa file, or is it stored elsewhere?

The reason why I bring this question up is, I've somehow lost 1GB of storage from my iPhone 3GS!
I've added up the data size of all the apps on my iPhone. I've got 61 apps in total, which take up 1947.38 GB of storage. However, the Capacity bar in iTunes is telling me that my 61 Apps are taking up 3.10 GB!
So, somehow I've lost over 1GB of storage on my iPhone. How can that be?

Where is the "data" stored???

Which table or where is the "data" stored when new users are created inside of Portal? I've been to the Portal Navigator page and can view the many, many classes, triggers, tables, etc.. but find it a bit overwhelming to try and look for stuff. How can one maneuver around the different schemas easily? Is there a way to tie in a visual tool that can show the objects and schemas of the db?

hi,
the users are stored in the table called WWSEC_PERSONS$ and the groups are stored in WWSEC_GROUP$.
i'm using the SQL Navigator to go thru all the components of the product.

Where is play count and watched/unwatched data stored?

Where is play count and watched/unwatched data stored?
Is it on file or somewhere else?

I don't know where play count is stored, but, when using list view for songs
Go to menue toolbar item 'View' - on the drop down list that appears choose 'View Options...'
In the window that opens up check the box next to Play Count
now iTunes will keep track of how many times you play each song.
But, if you follow the same menue path while movies are in list view mode, the play count option does not appear to exist for movies, although date last played is an option.
If you don't check the box in view options, I don't think iTunes will keep track of song play count. The only data from past use of any individual item iTunes can show is probably limited to that items' metadata that you can see using the 'get info' option for any selected item.

Where is the data stored for the Contacts application in OS X 10.10?

My client uses Backblaze online backup, and recently needed to retrieve his contacts. Is the data stored in the app itself, or somewhere else? Backblaze doesn't back up applications by default. Is there a way to instruct Backblaze to back up the Contacts application?

Thanks, lllaass.

Limitation on the data stored in community preferences

Is there a limitation on the amount of data stored in community preferences?
Thanks
Sampath

no there is not in the portal...but remember: the community preferences (as well as the other type of preferences) are passed to your portlet code through HTTP header and that's where the limit is (it depends on the app server / web server you are using...i.e. i think tomcat limits by default http header size to 16k)...plus having a lot of data in your preference will be a performance hog for your portlet (much more data goes back and forth beteen portal and portlet)
Hope that helps.

How to restore data stored on icloud

Hi - I have around 13gb of data stored on iCloud (i can see this when I click on manage storage).I wish to use iCloud to retrieve this data when setting up my IPad. However, when I set up the ipad and use a backed version in the icloud, I am not able to retrieve all 13gb of data. So, my question is how to use the iCloud to retrieve all this data on my IPad.
Many thanks,
James.

hi grant. thank you.
i think i am one giant step away from completing all of this. of course at the moment i am recalling your "you are trying to do too much at one time" caution. the lowdown here is that my IT guy just left for a cross country trip and is not available and i am in the weeds big time. can you help me with something?
i am in Lion and I seem to be seeing TWO user accounts named after my SHORT NAME (say this is "Mac's Mac Short Name") for my Snow Leopard install. One has the ICON for my Snow Leopard Install and the other has a default ICON.
in the USERS folder i am seeing one folder with the HOME FOLDER ICON that has the same name as my Snow Leopard Home Folder and I see one folder that has the same name as the SHORT NAME listed above. So this folder says "Mac's mac Short Name" and it has folders in it with red circles and negative symbols showing it is not accessible (these are Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures).
Since I migrated my DESKTOP (long story but i have a lot of data on here and i wanted it in Lion so I could organize it before moving some of the work that was finished to the raid volume where my DOCUMENTS folder is located) - I can tell that I /think/ that the SHORT NAME with the Snow Leopard icon is the correct user but when i try and delete the User Acount with the same short name but a default icon is says that there is 194.1 GB of data in here!
So i am confused to the point where it seems OK to copy my home folder in Snow Leopard to the Data Drive but it seems unwise at the moment to point my new Lion install there because I am so confused as to what i have for user accounts.
Did any of that make sense enough to solve? I hate to think i am out for two weeks over here.

Update XML data stored in CLOB Column

Hi All,
i am new to Oracle and new to SQL
i am trying to update XML data stored in CLOB cloumn,data is stored with the follwoing format
<attrs><attr name="name"><string>Schade</string></attr></attrs>
i am using the following query for updating the value
UPDATE PRODUCT p SET ATTRIBUTES_nl_nl=UPDATEXML(XMLTYPE.createXML(ATTRIBUTES_nl_nl),'/attrs/attr[@name="name"]/string/text()','Schade').getClobVal() WHERE p.sku='000000000000040576_200911-5010057'
this query is working fine but it changing the data to the following format
<attrs><attr name="name">Schade</attr></attrs>
some how it is ommiting the <string> tag from it, i am unable to figure it out whats the reason.
any help in this regard will b e much appriciated
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
You should have created your own thread for this, and included database version.
This works for me on 11.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.5 :
SQL> create table t_org ( xml_clob clob );
Table created
SQL>
SQL> insert into t_org
2 values(
3 '<Message>
4 <Entity>
5 <ASSIGNMENT>
6 <OAVendorLocation> </OAVendorLocation>
7 <Vendorid>1</Vendorid>
8 </ASSIGNMENT>
9 </Entity>
10 </Message>'
11 );
1 row inserted
SQL> commit;
Commit complete
SQL> select '*' ||
2         extractvalue(xmltype(xml_clob),'/Message/Entity/ASSIGNMENT/OAVendorLocation')
3         || '*' as result
4 from t_org;
RESULT
SQL> update t_org set xml_clob =
2 updatexml(xmltype(xml_clob),
3 '/Message/Entity/ASSIGNMENT/OAVendorLocation/text()','LONDON').getClobVal()
4 ;
1 row updated
SQL> select '*' ||
2         extractvalue(xmltype(xml_clob),'/Message/Entity/ASSIGNMENT/OAVendorLocation')
3         || '*' as result
4 from t_org;
RESULT
*LONDON*
Does the OAVendorLocation really have a whitespace value?
If not then it's expected behaviour, you're trying to update a text() node that doesn't exist. In this case, the solution is to use appendChildXML to create the text() node, or update the whole element.
Is it your real document? Do you actually have some namespaces?

Trying to Insert an XML Element into XML data stored in CLOB column

('TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production');

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

See XML updating functions : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/xdb04cre.htm#i1032611
For example :
UPDATE my_table t
SET t.my_clob =
      XMLSerialize(document
        insertChildXML(
          XMLParse(document t.my_clob)
        , '/Activity/Spawned'
        , 'Activity'
        , XMLElement("Activity", 'Some GUID')
WHERE ...
;Although it works, there's overhead introduced by parsing the CLOB, then serializing again.
Is there any chance you can change the CLOB to SECUREFILE binary XMLType storage instead?
You would then be able to benefit from optimized piecewise update of the XML and improved storage.
