HT5194 Can i store my "~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator." file on a server?

Hello,
I am trying to make it possible for apple configurator to be used on multiple computers so that i can share our VPP codes between them. I am in a K-12 setting and would really like to be able to have the ability to sync devices in multiple locations. Has anyone been able to do this?

If you have a server, can I suggest that instead of using Configurator to configure many iDevices you use Profile Manager to do it ? Profile Manager is part of OS X Server and it can be used to enroll and configure many iDevices over the internet, without them needing to be plugged into any particular computer for updates. In addition it can be used to lock or wipe an iPad reported as stolen.
http://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#profile-manager
Profile Manager uses the same kind of configurations as Configurator, it just sends them over the internet instead of needing a white wire.

Using multiple com.apple.configurator files

I have heard that this can be done but I have found no literature on this. We have multiple techs across multiple campuses and I would like them to be able to share their com.apple.configurator folders in the event that one gets a device that is managed by a different machine. Can anyone point me in the right direction to a "How-To?"

This type of setup is not supported by Configurator. You would be better served by supervising the device with Configurator and then manageing them with Profile Manager or another MDM server.

I can't Disable my Memory Swapping on mac ( launchctl: Couldn't stat("/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist"): No such file or directory nothing found to unload )

Hi Guys! I really need help here, Im a Web Graphic Designer and i really use alot of Memory on my mac ( i have 8gb ram ). Everyone told me that disabling the memory swapping would really help alot and tried to disable it. All of my friends taught me on how to disable it by enerting
" sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist " on my Terminal
It really works on other MacBPro but i ge this error message
" launchctl: Couldn't stat("/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist"): No such file or directory nothing found to unload "
I tried to look at the folder or directory there is no com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist and its confusing me cause the memory swapping is still working without the com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist.
Can someone help or tell me how to fix this? I would really much appreciate it.

I never heard of anyone doing what you are attempting!
If you have so much memory as you claim I don't see the advantage of running the system in this non-standard way since you probably won't need to write to a swapfile anyway. And you are asking for trouble if it does need it and it's not there.
Finally, I submit you must have missed or or looked in the wrong place. In terminal cut/paste the following:
ls /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist
It shouldn't report an error.

Thanks, Chris.

The .plist files are almost always preferences. I believe "plist" is short for "property list". It contains a list of keys (configuration options) and settings for each key, similar in some respects to the way the Windows Registry works, except that there is a separate file for each set of settings, instead of a single registry file as in Windows. In this case it's a shared settings file for Mail, but I couldn't tell you anything more about the contents.
You were smart to back it up. Usually .plist files can be deleted without signicant loss, because they will be recreated automatically with default settings. But sometimes they contain important settings that may be hard to set up again, especially if you had help setting up your computer in the first place, or have lost important details that you'd need for setting up an app, such as Mail. But sometimes the settings are trivial, for example the position and size of windows, etc., and do not contain settings you'd care about, which may be in another .plist file or in some other kind of file/database.

"/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.26"

I am trying to back up my hard disk in order to perform some repairs, disk utility says to back up before repairing,I am unable to perform the back up. I get the following message:
Burning the disc failed because one or more of the items in untitled CD.fpbf could not read;
“/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.26” cannot be read.
I FOUND THIS FILE OR WHATEVER AND WAS GOING TO TRASH IT BUT THE COMPUTER WON'T LET ME TRASH IT!! IS THIS AN IMPORTANT FILE?? IF I DELETE IT WHAT WILL HAPPEN. IF I CAN DELETE IT HOW DO I???
THANKS

OK, I understand now, and yes, you are correct. it will not fit on a CD, nor likely even a DVD.
My Boot Drive would take 133 CDs to back up if I split it into 670MB chunks, which can be done, but not easily.
Normally you would only back up a few things to CD, Maybe your Home folder if it was less than CD size... you can highlight your Home Folder, do a Get Info on it to see how big it is.
The best, (only way really), is to backup to an external Firewire drive.
Best way to get an exact bootable copy of your old drive to the new one is with Carbon Copy Cloner...

Not only do you that way have a backup, but if something happens to your internal drive, then you can just boot off the external one to continue working, or fix things up.

Mail wont launch at all. Deleted this: ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Mail wouldnt let me send outgoing mail claiming there to be an error whilst there was an outgoing connection. So I thought to completely reset the entire app and found a forum that told me to delete something >_> And so I deleted this ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and now nothing will launch. And well. Nothing is backed up. Im an idiot. ;___; I just want to go back to my chalk and slate. TECHNOLOGY HATES ME. Please help me.

Hi Bill,
You could also try com.apple.helpviewer.plist (in ~/Library/Preferences). Have you noted whether this is system-wide or restricted to your user account? I'd create a test account (if you don't have another on your system) and try the help menus. If they're messed up over there, then fixing things in your user folder won't help. The only system resource I could find that seems remotely relevant is /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.helpdata.plist, but I'd be verrrry careful about messing around with stuff in your System folder.
Hope that helps!

Group differs on "Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist";

As the title suggests I got this issue which is annoying because it is causing high inactive memory & this obstacles all the rest . Means I must do 2-3 times a day repair permissions with Disk Utility .
Group differs on “Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist”;
It gets repaired & then all over again . So far I could not find a solution . I have already sent feedback to Apple .
That's all folks , if anyone knows how to handle this it would be nice , at least until there is an official response .
Thank you , have a nice day .

bump
I actually have this all the time. com.apple.alf.plist is always repaired whenever Disk Utility repairs permissions.
I also came across somewhere that it was included in the solution for a problem about iTunes requesting permission to access internet everytime it is launched. And I had that issue as well. (iTunes asks for my permission for internet access everytime I launch it.) And the solution proposed for this included the deletion of this "com.apple.alf.plist" regarding a firewall issue. Although I deleted the file, Disk Utility still repairs this file (though iTunes haven't yet asked for internet permissions.) everytime I run the permission repair.
I suppose there has got to be a solution to keep the file stable, like without causing the repair.
Not a big issue, as mentioned in the thread title; but still, this may be the cause or result of something going on in the computer; so any suggestions are welcome.
Cheers!

Time machine excludes other items in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist??

Hey. I heard that time machine excludes some items even if they are not selected by you in time machine preferences. The items time machine excludes "secretly" are located in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist Is there any way to remove these items. Things like calendars and iphoto show up on this exclusion list. I want to make sure I dont lose those.

The only items excluded by default are cache and index files that will be regenerated automatically if deleted.

There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

It says 'To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.'
However I only have one account. I've tried to sign out and in several times. But it doesn't work. I do remember changing my password recently. Secondly I'd like to add that I got this macbook air 3 days ago. I'm a first time mac user. It had three updates initially. Mountain lion 10.8.2, iphoto and the imovie. I updated the mountain lion, thinking I'd get the iphoto and imovie done later. However now this problem has come up. Thanks for responding. Hoping to hear from you soon again regarding this.

What does this mean? /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist /System/Library/Private/Frameworks/PackageKit.framework/Resources/shove

I got this as a Webroot alert:
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
/System/Library/Private/Frameworks/PackageKit.framework/Resources/shove
Is this OK, or is it something I need to fix?
Thanks,

something is actually running in the background, then I'd not be too concerned.
However, the Remote Desktop should not show any activity if you have it shut off.
After all, it is a Client version and unless you are networked remotely to someone
who would be controlling your Mac from elsewhere, there's no need to use it.
The application itself, is not the client version you have in your Mac for free:
http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/ the main deal administers client versions.
http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/features.html
May be helpful to read up on various Mac OS X system sections to see when or
if you have odd experiences with them, where to go and look. I've not messed w/
Remote Desktop for several years, perhaps not since Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.x.
Questions and sometimes answers about Apple Remote Desktop, appear here:
Servers and Enterprise Software - Apple Support Community discussions.
Maybe you should contact the Apple person who looked into your Mac and ask
what was involved and why these messages keep appearing. The person should
be able to tell what they did and why they did it. And what to go into, and check...
They may have left something or another on or enabled, that needs to be addressed.
To see Webroot items does seem rather odd, since I've never had any messages
from that function; unless someone had a need to go in there. (But why?)
This thread was moved to Servers/Enterprise ASC, from an OS X ASC area, btw.
Also, after an update or other change in the system, may be reflected in Logs or in
the report generated by Disk Utility's repair disk permissions. These do not mean a
bad thing has taken place, necessarily. I'm unfamiliar with the recent one you noted.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Cant get com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only entitlement to work

Hey I am curious how can I get the .ipa compiled file for iOS to be able to read all the directories on the iPhone?
I made a file browser but I cant get to the pictures
I tried adding the entitlements in Flash Builder 4.6 in the descriptor file like this:
<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.pictures.read-only</key>
<true/>
in the
<iPhone>
<Entitlements>

I got Push notifications working and accepted in the app store but it can't read the pictures directory when browsing for a file
I know the app id and stuff is set up right or I wouldnt have been able to get it accepted in the app store. In the entitlements area of course I have the application identifier set and aps-environment and keychain access groups and whatnot set up right.
When I try to put the app onto the iPhone with iTunes it just says 'Entitlements are not valid' (does not mention anything about mismatched ids) I can't find anything about how to add this entitlement and I could have sworn I saw a thing that said I can just use the descriptor file to add entitlements in some of the documentation I have it set to use air 3.4
Is there something I am doing wrong, how do I get apple to just put these entitlements in the mobileprovision file, I cant seem to edit it, if I do I also get an error in itunes that is some hex code...

Did you ever solve your problem?
I just transfered my web hosting and e-mail to bluehost. I had some of the same problems you are having. I noticed you have your incoming server set to bluehost.
Incoming mail server: (SSL) box610.bluehost.com (sever requires authentication which I already have done)
If bluehost is your server this is what worked for me:
Account Information
Account type— POP
Description—anything you want
Email Address—in your case would be [email protected]
Full name— first and last name
Incoming server—mail.magnus.com
User name—[email protected] Notice it is the @ symbol not a +
password— your password . Remember they are case sensitive
Outgoing Mail server—select edit smpt server list from the drop down window
select the + to add a server
Account Information
Description—may be left blank
Server name—mail.magnus.com
TSL Certificate—None
Advanced
Use default ports
Check Use SSL
Authenticate—password
Username—[email protected]
passowrd—your password
Click ok
In the accounts window
Outgoing SMTP— select the server you just created.
Check—use only this server
Select the Advance tab next to the Mailbox Behaviors
Check use SSL— it will be port 995
Authenticate —use password

Com.apple.ichat files missing

My iChat hasn't been opening. I've been trying to follow the advice posted by other users and putting the /Users/macbookprompls/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist file in the trash. It worked a couple months ago, but this morning, when my iChat failed to open, I tried to use the same method and none of the com.apple.iChat files were in either my Preferences folder or the trash.
Help?

You didn't try using "macbookprompls" when typing a command in Terminal.app to locate these plist files, did you? "macbookprompls" was the original poster's screen name, which I used by example to imply that (s)he needed to use his(her) short user name. So, if you were, you should be opening up, in the Finder, your user home account's Library's Preferences folder. There should be a several files in there whose names begin with "com.apple.iChat" and end with ".plist" and if you quit iChat and trash all of those files and restart iChat, it will look like a "first time ever" launch of iChat on your computer. Then you should be able to recreate any iChat, Jabber, and/or Bonjour accounts with your ichat, jabber, and/or bonjour screen names, and all should be well. Things like AIM buddy lists are maintained on AIM servers, so you won't lose those by deleting these plist files.
If that is of no help to you, I think that with the Leopard installer DVD, you can do custom reinstallations of a limited number of Apple OEM applications, iChat being one of them. My installer DVD is not conveniently nearby for me to check, but that was the case with Tiger. Some info for custom reinstalls in Tiger can be found here. I can't find an equivalent knowledgebase article for Leopard, though. In any event, if iChat is one of the apps that the optional installs package on the Leopard installer DVD supports, you could try a reinstallation of iChat from the optional installs package on the Leopard installer DVD.
However, before going down the optional installs route (or maybe after, too), if you launch iChat from the command line with error logging, and post the log results here, the gurus here in this forum could help you troubleshoot further. To launch iChat from the command line, start up Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities) and type
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7⏎
and copy and paste the resulting text displayed in the Terminal window back into a follow-up post here, if iChat still refuses to launch for you.

I have a hp C410 all-in-one series printer. When I updated to 10.8.1 it was no longer supported. HP told me to go to the Apple system updates and download an installation program. I can't find that program in my Apple updates file.

Hope this helps

Dashboard doesn't work and com.apple.dashboard* files doesn't exist

Like the headline says, my dashboard doesn't work at all, and my com.apple.dashboard* -files doesn't exist in the preferences file.
Is there annyway to redownload or reinstall it?
Please help!

Hello there,
Have you tried killing the Dock Process through Activity monitoring and then relaunching it? I would also try logging out and then back in or doing a complete reboot of the machine to see if that helps.
If still no luck, it may be a good idea to trash the dashboard preference file.
The two dashboard preference files are in the following directory:
yourusername -> Library -> Preferences ->
The file names are:
com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
com.apple.dashboard.plist
Hope this helps.
