How do I know where a file is saved?

I tried to find using Finder my .doc document saved from NeoOffice Worker but it doesn't appear. I saved multiple times to make sure that it is saved.

Make a simple document with any app, such as TextEdit. Save it to the desktop and name it zzzz
Now use Spotlight and see if you can find it. If you can't you need to reindex Spotlight.
Now make a new document with NeoOffice. Save it. NOTICE where it is saving it to when you save it. Do you know that that means to notice where it is saving it too? Name it xxxx
It is most likely that your original NeoOffice document that you have lost is wherever the xxxx document is.

How do you know where your files are if you save them in the wrong place?

I have tons of video files for example.
I want to watch the video I downloaded off the net about airplanes.
I type in airplanes in spotlight, and many come up.
they are quicktime files.
but when I go to quicktime and try to delete by clicking on files, it does not
show me comprehensively where these files are stored.
Similarly, If i type in Geese, in spotlight, the same thing happens.
But geese, and airplanes are not near each other. Which brings me to wonder.
How many videos do I have stored in here anyway??
How do I find ALL my videos? And erase what I need to and store what I need to away in thier proper place?
I hope that makes sense.

Use the custom Find window, AKA "Smart Folder". See in the Finder menubar under the "File" menu the selection "New Smart Folder".
Typically files have an "extension", or a filename suffix that identifies what kind of file it is. Quicktime movies might have a ",mov" suffix, so type the suffix in the Smart Window search field or tell it to search "Kind" as "Movies".
When you get the window full of found files, select the ones you want to move and drag them to the "Movies" folder.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Why does Apple not want me to know where my files are?

There is one aspect that I find absolutely ridiculous and frustrating on Mac-OS. When I'm in Apple applications, it is impossible to find out where the file I'm working on is. For example, I have multiple files in my system, in different directories, lets say direcotories AA and BB and the file is called FooBar.txt. I open one of them in TextEdit. Great. Now I want to know which file I'm editing, AA/FooBar.txt or BB/FooBar.txt.
Traditionally, I would go to File and do a "Save As" and devine where the file is by where TextEdit thinks I need to save a new version of the file. Unfortunately, this is no longer available in Lion.
Okay, I understand that Mac is now doing verisions and the "Save As" was a user hack ... but it worked. I have tried to go to the Files->Properties, no luck this is just metadata about the contents of the file entered by the user, not system metadata about where the file is located, its size, owner, etc. I do not want to have to make a Dupicate of the file just to find out where when I do the save its going to put the file. I don't want a duplicate, all I want to know is where is the file I'm currently looking at.
I know this is all part of the mis-guided Apple idea that I shouldn't care about where my files are stored ala iPad and Apple iCloud and that I can find my files using Finder, but the reality of the situation is ... I do care where my files are stored. The files afterall belong to me not to Apple and Apple does allow me to have a directory tree structure which I choose to use to organize myself.
Yes, I know that Finder is wonderful and to unsophisticated users, this is all they need. But for those of us who are more sophisticated, we want-to and need-to know where our files are. And, yes, we will have many files with duplicate names.
As for Finder, I would like to be able to have a column dispolayed that lets me see where the files it found actual are. Then I want to sort on this. As far as I know, the only way to do this is to go to finder, type in the name of the file, then choose the Show all in Finder and then click on each file which then shows me a directory breadcrumbs on the botom of the screen. Again, this might be acceptable to the unsophisticated user, this is very awkward to the sophisticated user. Example, I find a file called xml.config. Great. I now want to not only edit the file but to open up a Terminal in the directoy where I found the file xml.config. Again, I know that a Terminal is not a thing an unsophisticated user wants-to or needs-to do. However, this is a feater of Mac-OS and I want to use it. yes, I can co through the Unix CD command and ultimately get there, but what a pain!!
So, hopefully, all you very sophisticated users will just point me to the right settings, swtiches and commands to make my life easier or that your designers will try to look at the sophisticated use cases and provide us with new tools, commands and options to make our lives easier. At the present, these frustrations remind me of the Microsoft ... we know beter .. attitude. So please, proove me wrong ;-)

While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

SQLException: how do I know where I went wrong?

I just revolutioned the database I was using for my tomcat application, switching from MyIsam to InnoDB.
But as soon as I tried an insert I got an SQLException.
this is part of the code (which is called from a servlet):
    public void saveInitialize(String gameName) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
        Connection con = null;
     Statement stmt = null;
     PreparedStatement pstmt = null;

         con.setAutoCommit(false);
         stmt = con.createStatement();
         int IDGioco = 1;
         rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT ID FROM GAMES ");
         while (rs.next()) {
          IDGioco = rs.getInt("ID") + 1;
         rs.close();
         stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO GAMES VALUES (" + IDGioco + ", '" + gameName + "', " + numeroPeriodi + ", " + numeroAziende + ", " + numeroProdotti + ", " + periodiGiocati + ")");
         for (int i = 1; i <= numeroAziende; i++) {

              "VALUES (" + i + ", '" + nomeAzienda[i] + "', ENCODE('" + passwordAzienda[i] + "','tbg'), " + IDGioco + ", " + periodiInseriti[i] + ")");
         for (int j = 1; j <= numeroProdotti; j++) {

how do I know where I went wrong (the insert code is about 1200 lines)?
thank you

While not related to your problem, I did notice that you're inserting into columns without specifying the column names, ie.
         stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO GAMES VALUES (" + IDGioco + ", '" + gameName + "', " + numeroPeriodi + ", " + numeroAziende + ", " + numeroProdotti + ", " + periodiGiocati + ")");While technically it's not an error, it's really easy to introduce a bug into your code. There's no guarantee that the order of columns will always be the same as when you created the table. It's much better to do something like "insert into games (col1,col2,col3...) values(...)".

Migration Assit , PC to MAC - The migration was successful, but I don't know where the files are. It says they're under a different user, 'owner' . I tried to access via sys pref/system/users&groups, but it asks for a password for owner which I don't have. What must I do to access my files?
My experience is with MS PC's I'm new with the MAC Book Pro.

Then, see if this works:

How do you know where you quit editing your pictures in your organizer?

How do you know where you quit editing your pictures in your organizer. I have only used the program twice and now I am lost as to where I stopped. Thank you for any help in this matter.

Exactly my point. If one has been using the Organizer to go through the images one at a time and editing them in the Editor; at a later date one would want to know where to begin editing additional images.

You do not need any app.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing

Call Apple and ask. There is no way to identify the origin of an iPhone from any of it's numbers. All iPhones are born equal.

How do you know what folder/file to modify?

Ok, I've had Sun Support on site and even they couldn't tell me exactly how this works and the Sun Support phone support is clueless...
All I need to do is change the "look & feel" of the portal so how am I supposed to know what folder/file to modify to get what I need?
Setup:
* Nested Tabs setup and working
* JSPTabContainer contains the following:
* First Top Tab is:
<Container name="MyNestedTabContainer" provider="JSPTabContainerProvider" merge="replace">
* Then first inner tab is thus:
<Container name="MyHomeTableContainer" provider="JSPTableContainerProvider" merge="replace">
1) What folder do I modify to change the look of either tab? I tried changing the JSPTabContainer/tabs.jsp and nothing happens. Do I have to change the default/JSPTabContainerProvider/tabs.jsp file instead?
2) There is also a banner line with "Sun One Portal Server" between the tabs, how do I get rid of this?
I've spent hours scouring the files using trial and error to try and get rid of simple things like this and almost at the point to chuck the whole thing into the trash can. I could have created a portal using Tiles by now...

I find it IMPOSSIBLE to believe that this is the
recommended way to do things.I do not say it is the recommended way, I'm just telling this is a quick way I personally use to do it. Sorry if you do not find my script useful.
Where or where is all of this directory creation and
copying of files found in the documentation? I guess it is described in the Portal Server Desktop, look for "sesta" which is an example organization name use there.
Where does it say that in order to make changes, you have
to all of this?I do not say you have to do it, neither the documentation. That is just a recommendation I suggest to avoid messing with globally used files, and clearly isolating your work from what is provided with the product.
Are we just supposed to find it all out via osmosis?I guess tha documentation and this developer's forum are a better option ...
I am extremely frustrated with this product right now.Sorry about that.
The display profile merging and the template directories form an extremely powerful tool, but with a learning curve longer that those found with simpler approaches.
Once you got them though, you'll find they allow you to easily and elegantly cover a very wide range of needs that wouldn't be achievable otherwise.
