How can I change the location of files? (buffers, history)

I want to change the location of my history and buffers from my SSD to a flashdisk. [Reason: to overcome wear and rear on my SSD.] How can I do this?
Open question: What other file locations (paths) should I change?

You can disable the disk cache by using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the Cache.<br />
You can verify that on the about:cache page (disk cache entry is missing).
The history and the bookmarks are stored in the same file and can't be separated.<br />
You would have to move the entire Firefox profile folder to that other drive or use Private Browsing mode.<br />
It is probably a good idea to make regularly backups of valuable profile data in case of drive failure.<br />
Flash drives also do not last forever and are also usually slower.

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document.
As Murray said, Flash is dead. Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

Moving the iOS device backup location
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

How can I change the location of my Backups? (e.g. Word files)

I am wondering how I can change the location of my word doc. back ups. Everytime I make a new word document my computer makes a duplicate titled: " Backup [then the title I gave the word document]." I was wondering if I could make a single file to store all of the back ups. Currently they are in every file that the original is in. Thanks!

It depends on which version of Windows you are using but it will intitally be downloaded to the C: drive. The data is initially stored in the following locations:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
Windows 7 and Vista: C:\Users\[login]\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
You will need to get enough free space on the C: drive to allow the download.

HOW CAN WE CHANGE THE LOCATION OF TEMPORARY FILES DURING BROWSING?

IN ORDER TO WATCH VIDEOS A LARGE AMOUNT OF MEMORY IS REQUIRED. BUT THE DRIVE IN WHICH FIREFOX IS INSTALLED HAS MORE NUMBER OF PROGRAM FILES. IS THERE ANY WAY TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE TEMPORARY FILES THAT GET ACCUMULATED DURING BROWSING?

You probably need to change the value of the %temp% and %tmp% environment variables in:
Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables
You can set the location of the Firefox cache by setting a pref to that location.<br />
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

How can I change the location where itunes stores my backup?

I don't know how to change the location were itunes stores my backup and my transfer purchases. I don't have enough memory on the hard driver where the windows is installed.Please help me!!!

Transferred purchases usually get stored in the iTunes Media folder although if your library started life back on iTunes 8 or earlier then apps could be stored within the main iTunes library folder. This post gives an overview of how to restructure your library on a different drive. I can give specific instructions if you tell me more about your current setup.
To change where iTunes stores iOS device backups redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool). In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

How can I change the location where iTunes saves iOS 5.1, new data, synchronized apps and other data?

My hard drive C is full. I changed the location of the mediathek to an external hard drive F and moved all media data there. Also, I synchronized my iPad with this new set-up. So far, everything worked out well.
Now, why is iTunes stll saving data, like the much needed iOS 5.1, to C? This actually makes it impossible for me to finally update my iPad, because my C drive is simply full!
Also, iTunes does not synchronize my iPad apps or my photos. When I try to synchronize them manually, iTunes starts to save data to my C drive. How can I change that to my external drive F?
In a nutshell, how can I move iTunes once and for all to my external hard drive F (or at least, to a different hard drive on my computer)? There is simply no space on my C drive for it at all.
Thankyou so much for an answer, I am literally going nuts right now!

How can I change the location of the iPAD backup

It is possible to change the location on the harddisk where iTunes is backuping the iPAD?
Thanks

are you looking to move the bloated Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup file? i had this same problem (my iTunes points to an external drive, but the default Backup Profile is still stored locally, and with a 64GB iPhone, it's killing my hard drive. here's what i found!
there are several posts about this, none are apple sanctioned it appears, all work arounds. read these:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3100828?tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16235234
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2617941
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16438310
the last one has the most simple directions i think. here's the direct link to his blog post (i can't take credit!)

basically you will "Create a symbolic directory link using the mklink command". no software to install, just a little dos editing.
best of luck!

How can I change the location on my ipad

I wanted to look at the distance from my house to my friend's and when I checked, it didn't show the location of my house, it showed another random house. How can I change my current location?

Which iPad do you have? Your location may not be entirely accurate if you have a WiFi only iPad as there is no GPS chip. It relies on a database of WiFi hotspots in Apple's database.
If you want to find the distance, enter your address as the starting point and your friend as the end point. you don't have to use your current location at all.

How can you change the location of the iCloudDrive folder from it's default location assigned when downloaded.

I recently downloaded the iCloudDrive folder for PC to keep my files up to date amongst my devices. I want to move the iCloudDrive folder from my default location "Jordan" to another folder I have saved on my PC. However, when I do so, the folder looses it's internet capabilities. It therefore does not automatically upload to my cloud storage, files that I add to the relocated folder. This function only seems to work when the folder is placed in "my personal folder": "Jordan". How can I move the iCloudDrive folder to a different location on my PC AND continue using it with internet functionality?!

You cannot control, how the printed score will look. It is not supposed to be a tool for musical typesetting - only a convenience to be able to check your midi tracks quickly. You cannot even control, how the notes will be assigned to the staffs with the bass cleffs or treble clefs.
Use other programs for better typesetting your musical scores, e.g.Finale.

How can I change the directory a file is written to?

Hi,
I have an app running through JSP. At one point in the app, a file is written to the current directory. I have installed Tomcat at "C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0" but the file is written to "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Apache Tomcat 4.0" !!!
What gives? Anyone know how I can change this?
I also need to be able to read files from the current directory, so I can't really put them in that dir... I would like to be able to store the files in a dir relative to the webapps/myapp dir...
I searched through the archives for this problem without finding a solution...
Please don't suggest writing the files to an absolute pathname...
Thanks.

To store files in a dir relative to web application context (webapps/myApplication/...), I usually use the getRealPath() method of ServletContext object.
For example, if my filepath is "webbapps/MyApplication/MyDir/MyFileName" i do something like this:
String FilePath=getServletContext().getRealPath("MyDir/MyFileName");
File file=new File(FilePath);
This way allows your application to be indipendent from local mappings inwhich it's deployed.
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you know what I mean!!!
