HELP, where do one step files go?

Where in the fook do the giant files get stored after making a OneSteep dvd? I cannot find them to delete from my HD and they are taking up 25 gb. How can I find them to delete?
Help please. My HD is now completely full, and I can't find the files to delete them.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to discussions Marcus!
Most probably the files are in the project file. Usually it's located in Documents.
You can try a nice little utility called Disk Inventory X that gives you a visual representation of your disk so you can easily spot big files. I find it very usefull, and it's free.

Where does one step store files?

I recently used iDVD one-step to quickly record a few videos from my camera. The process worked great however, it also consumed over 20Gig of free space on my HD. I've searched my Macintosh HD and cannot locate the movie files that this program created. Can anyone tell me where they could? Yes, I've searched all the obvious locations likes my documents folder, movie folder, and literally scoured through hundreds of files in the system and library folders... I really need to reclaim the space!! Help! Thanks!
Martin

Ok. I figured this out. Apparently the one-step files are stored in caches. So I got a copy of Tiger Cache Cleaner and ran it. I recovered over 40Gig on my HD!! Wow. I recommend this tool, and recommend another option other than one-step! hah!

How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf file using the PIXMA MG7520 on Windows 8.0? Please help!

I recently received a PIXMA MG7520 for a gift. It works great with my lenovo laptop/tablet running on Windos 8.0. The one drawback to the HP all-in-one that it replaced is it does not have an ADF. That being said, there must be some way to scan multiple pages into one pdf file. I need help figuring thing out. Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Hi mdtolbert54,
There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning multiple pages into a single PDF document. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it.
3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window.
5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
6. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save the changes. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
7. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Scanned items are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
If you find that you need advanced scanning options such as adjusting resolution, brightness, contrast, saturation, color balance, etc. in addition to the options selected above, please click on the SCANGEAR button on the IJ Scan Utility Main screen, then adjust the items as necessary.
Once the items above are set for document scanning, in the future, you will only need to launch the IJ Scan Utility, then press the DOCUMENT button to perform the scan (unless you want to make changes to the settings).
Hope this helps!

ONE STEP HELP

I started to do a One Step From my DV Cam to DVD. I thought i had enough space on my HD but evidently that was not the case. I got a disk full message so i hit the stop button on iDVD. It did not stop so I had to Force Quit. iDVD seemed to have used up to 5 gig of my Hard Drive and for the life of me i cannot find the iDVD One Step DVDPROJ on my drive. I did spotlight.. and nothing. Any Idea on where the file might be/

OK. Normally iDvd does generate temporary folder for One Step. But I found a work around. I did some testing of my own within One Step iDvd to see if there is a way to tweak iDvd'08 to create a captured folder to the desktop. To my surprise, the answer is Yes ... you can do this under "Advanced" preference settings apparently. But you cannot address these preferences within one step itself or while One step is actually launched. However, you should be able to address these advanced preference settings while any of the other types of Dvd's are selected or launched. Quit iDvd and then launch One Step again. It will make a QT file ... Should generate a .mov to the desktop that looks something like this:
Click Here
I took pictures of my desktop during the entire process in a step-by-step procedure that follows:
Click here
Click on "change" and set the location to the desktop.
(It's worth noting you can address multiple copies of a 1 step w/in iDvd itself after the first copy is completed/burned).
Hope these steps are helpful but if not just come on back. And Good luck!

How to load files up one step from local working directory

Good afternoon,
I have a project assigned to me that has some Ni TestStand code written to read files from a fixed directory and I would like to change this directory to be the directory where the TestStand seqeunce file is located.
Furthermore, I would like to be able to step back one directories and forward into a different directory. Is this possible? I know in linux his is done with ..\ preceeding the directory location
I want ot do this for variables in TestStand and also for pats in LabView.
Cna somebody provide me with the correct syntax, for example if
my seq file is C:\User\Test\myseq.seq
and I want to open an ini file located in
C:\Config\config.ini
Should I save the path for the variable as
..\..\Config\config.ini ??
Thanks,
-D

1) If you want to use a relative path that is resolved the same way as a module path (i.e. using the teststand search directories where looking in the same directory as the sequence file is one of the default possibilities) you can do something like the following:
FindFile("..\\Config\\Config.ini", True, Locals.absolutePath)
2) RunState.SequenceFile.Path actually includes the sequence file's name, so if you want to build a path from that you would need to do something like the following to parse out the part of the path you care about (though maybe an extra ".." instead of doing this parsing works to get past the file name too, I've never tried that. Perhaps either way is fine.):
Locals.absolutePath = Left(RunState.SequenceFile.Path, Find(RunState.SequenceFile.Path, "\\", 0, False, True) + 1) + "..\\Config\\Config.ini"
3) Whether or not you need to build an absolute path or can use a relative path depends on what you are doing with the path, if you provide more details on what you are doing with the path we can let you know. In general, you should not use a relative path when calling a win32 API. See the remarks section of the following where it says, "Multithreaded applications and shared library code should not use the GetCurrentDirectory function and should avoid using relative path names.":
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364934%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Though if you are calling a TestStand API then a relative path might be ok, depending on the API call, because some teststand APIs can use the TestStand search directory algorithm to resolve the path (basically the equivalent of 1 above).
Hope this helps,

Does anyone know where the iWeb data files are located or what they are called? I can't find them. I looked in Finder for files named the same as my website, but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know where the iWeb data files are located or what they are called? I can't find them. I looked in Finder for files named the same as my website, but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

If you erased or replaced your hard drive since iWeb was cancelled, then they are gone. Otherwise, if you have maintained backups then check those.
Usually such files are in the /Home/Library/ folder or a sub-folder.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.

Need help bringing movie into One Step DVD

I am trying to do the One Step DVD with i-movie. I have done this before, but for some reason I keep getting the error message that there is no movie on the tape. I know there is. It rewinds the tape and then pauses when it tries to capture it. Can someone help me on this? Thanks! Kelly

Any time code breaks on this tape whatsoever? Did you try Restarting your mac and the camcorder as well?
If that fails, then let's try a different approach. Let's burn a one step dvd from a movie or QT folder. Let me know if this works for you or not.

Burning a OneStep DVD from a movie on your hard disk
You can burn a OneStep DVD from a movie on your hard disk, skipping the creative process involved in creating menus, modifying themes, and so on. When you insert the burned disc into a DVD player or a computer, the disc plays automatically.
To burn a OneStep DVD from a movie on your hard disk:
With iDVD open, choose File > “OneStep DVD from Movie.”
Locate the movie you want to add in the dialog that opens, then click Import.
Insert a blank DVD disc into your computer’s SuperDrive or an external drive when you are prompted to do so.
A progress dialog indicates how far along you are in creating the DVD. You can click the Cancel button at any point before the burning stage to quit and leave the DVD disc untouched.
iDVD burns the disc in whatever format (NTSC or PAL) you have specified in iDVD preferences, regardless of which format the video is in. If the formats are different, iDVD warns you before burning, because some visual distortions might result in the burned DVD.
NOTE: After burning, to eject a disc from your computer’s internal disc drive, press the Media Eject key on your keyboard, if there is one. On keyboards with no Media Eject key, hold down the F12 key until the eject icon appears and your disc is ejected.

Need help compiling external jar files into my one jar file from cmd line

Here is my problem, let me see if I can explain it right:
I am making a jar file on my development computer that will run my java project. In this java project, it references a couple Java3D jar files. On my development computer, I create the jar file and it runs correctly, but when I move that jar file over to the test computer, the parts of the application needing those Java3D jars are not found in my jar I created. I isolated the problem and it is because those Java3D jar files I needed are not on my test machine. But that is the way I need it to be. I need it so that when I compile all my code on the development machine, I need it to also compile those two Java3D files into my one jar that I move to the test machine. You get what I'm saying? I must do all the compiling from the command line and have only one jar file to put on the test machine that contains all my compiled code and the two Java3D files needed to run some of the applications in the project.
Here a brief sample of what I'm doing:
To compile my java files in my project, I simply to this for all my files:
javac file.java
javac file2.java... and so on for all my java files.
Then I create my jar file:
jar -cfm MyJar.jar manifest.mf file.class
jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf file2.class... and so on for all my class files.
Also when compiling my jar file, I do this thinking that it would include the two Java3D jars into my one jar file:
jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf jars/j3d-org-images.jar
jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf jars/j3d-org.jar
My manifest file looks something like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: Main
Class-Path: jars/j3d-org.jar jars/j3d-org-images.jar
Do I have to have that Class-Path in there pointing to those jar files? Those jar files will not exist on my test machine because the directory structure will not be the same. I've tried a manifest without specifying my Class-Path to those jar files, but I get the same problem when I run my application on the part that needs the Java3D files.
The error I am getting is that there is a RasterTextLabel class inside one of those Java3D jar files that my application cannot access because those jar files are not on my test machine.
So basically what I really need to know is how I get those two Java3D jar files compiled into my one jar file that I move to a test machine and run with the following command:
java -jar MyJar.jar
Can anyone help me??
Thanks.

Here what you need is to have all the files present in a single jar file, and the classpath is set properly to the required jar files.
Do the following in steps:
1)
Create a custom manifest file,say mymanifest.mf, with the following contenets, put it in current directory:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.4.0_01 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
main-Class: Main
Class-Path: jars/j3d-org.jar jars/j3d-org-images.jar <press ENTER key>
2)
jar -cfm MyJar.jar manifest.mf file.class
jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf file2.class... and so on for all class files.
3)
jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf jars/j3d-org.jar
jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf jars/j3d-org-images.jar
(Make sure that j3d-org-images.jar and j3d-org.jar are present in a subdirectory called 'jars')
Now you would be able to run,
java -jar myjar.jar

Open file & close folder that it's in - in one step

I want to be able to double click a file to open it and then the folder this file is in closes so that it is no longer open on my desktop. Is there a one step way to do this?

Yes.
Hold down the Option key while double-clicking the file.
This also works when opening sub-folders - the double-clicked folder will open and its enclosing folder will close.

Using "One Step DVD from Movie" on my IMac 10.8.6 using Verbatim DVD-R ("Life Series") 4.7 GB 16X 120, I get a wide angle version of my two minute story rather than the 3X4 standard aspect ratio that I normally get and want. Help!

While using "One Step DVD from Movie" using DVD-R Verbatim ("Life Series" 4.7 16 X 120 min) on my IMac 10.6.8 I get a wide angle aspect ratio on the DVD not the standard 3X4 aspect ratio. The Quicktime Movie is is standard 3X4 aspect ratio and the video video footage is standard 3X4 aspect ratio? Advice will be greatly appreciated.

Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
Click to view full size
3 - reboot.
4 - launch IDVD and try again.
Personally I would not the the one step method but create the iDVD project from scratch so you can make sure the widescreen option is not selected in the preferences and you can follow this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

I have MAC OSX 10.5.8 and need to install adobe illustrator. I checked the compatibility and found that CS5 will work.Can any one help where i can find it. The trail version is fine with me as i just have to use it for couple of days till i get my mac book back from service. Can any one help me on this.

You are welcome, ameronweb.
To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

Download multiple files in one step

Hi,
my first try with acrobat.com with uploading some pictures which I like to share with friends led me to the question, how they can download my 18 pictures in one step. I put them in a workspace and gave them access. You can mark all files, but there is no menu point which offers you to download all files in one step.
Is there a way to do this in one step?
Greetings
Mario

Hello Mario,
Thank you for posting. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to download multiple files at once; this functionality is high on our list of planned enhancements, so I encourage you to stay tuned for future releases.
Best regards,
Rebecca

One Step DVD stops at 30 mins on 60 min project...help please?

Hi..I'm at wits end. Altho nothing,not even an error message appears on my screen, my One Step DVD burn stops at 30 mins on my 60 min project. It looks,however, as if it is continuing to burn! It's only after the fact when I try to play it that I find out it has stopped at 30 minutes.
My set up is that I am running a mini-DV tape from my camcorder to the computer. What am I doing wrong? Preferences maybe? Thanks for any input on this at all. I'm stumped! Kate

Hi Kate:
Quit iDVD.
Locate a file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and get rid of it.
iDVD will create a new one the next time it runs.
Empty the trash and run a permission repair using the Disk Utility.
The files you need are found here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist
