I'm new to Apple products. Can someone point me to where an applications user data is stored. For example: skype user data

I've been searching through the various folders on my Mac Pro hard drive and cannot see where user data is stored.As an example, I deleed Skype and reloaded it and my old profile data is still available. but I cannot determine where it is stored. Can someone point me to whaere this type id data is stored

Skype and other applications as well may store all their data within their application package. Or they store their data elsewhere such as the Documents folder, as I mentioned.
There are hidden folders but they are system folders and files. There is no reason for you to ever access them.
Skype may also store all that it needs to function in its /Home/Library/Preferences/ preference folder. The storage of any other produced data is located wherever the user designates.
iPhoto stores your photos in the iPhoto Library which is found in your /Home/Pictures/ folder.

    Oh yes! Apple will be happy for you to buy as many Apple products as you can afford.
    As and when needed, each can be given its own selections of content to sync with.

  • I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

    I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

    The delete key does a backward delete because it is the natural way to delete while typing. May not be to you and the millions of youngsters who grew up with windows computers. When you are typing and want to delete that which you just typed you are already at the end and you delete back to where you want to re-type. When you go back to a document and want to delete a selection, you have to go to the end of the selection instead of the beginning. it's just the way its always been done on macs. it takes some getting use to.
    If you select text to be deleted with your mouse then the delete key deletes the selected text. same for either delete key method.
    It is not convenient when you tab to fields in a form. That why fn-delete does a forward delete.
    Macs have a couple of keyboards. The small "wireless keyboard" only has the (backward) delete (fn-delete forward). The larger "Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" has both a Delete (backwards) key beside the = abd it has the "delete >" key in the groups with fn, home, end, Pg up and Pg dn. This keyboard is best for users who have switched from windows or are familiar with the windows forward delete.

  • My Apple ID won't process because my bank information isn't matching what to do I'm new to Apple and can't download anything?

    My Apple ID won't process because my bank information isn't matching what to do I'm new to Apple and can't download anything?

    You've checked the name and address on your iTunes account and it's in exactly the same format (including spacing and layout) as the credit card that you are trying to use is registered to ? And the card was issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are ?
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    Or do you have a different card that you could try, or do you get the 'none' option on your account ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • I have 3 apple products can I sync my mail accounts so that if i action on will it will do the same on all the others, like delete an e-mail and that e-mail is deleted on all the other devices

    I have 3 apple products can I sync my mail accounts so that if i action on one it will do the same on all the others, like delete an e-mail and that e-mail is deleted on all the other devices

    Hello sstan114,
    Great question! What type of email account are you using? Most email providers these days offer IMAP accounts (as opposed to POP). With IMAP, your changes should reflect across your devices (for example: if you read an email on your iPhone, it should be marked as read on your iPad). For more information about IMAP, see this resource:
    iCloud: IMAP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2585
    In some cases, you may need to contact your Email provider or check out their online resources for information on how to setup your account as IMAP. The following article outlines some important information you’ll want to gather:
    Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support

  • Can someone point me to a picture of playlist selection on 4g ipod nano?

    Hi, my wife is traveling and before she left, I loaded her 4g nano with playlists from itunes, but she emailed and says there is no menu selection for playlists, just artists and albums. can someone point me to some graphical instructions or a display of the playlist selection on the nano (that i can then point her too?). I use an iphone, and it's right there at the bottom of the screen, but i have no idea where on the clickwheel you have to go. I emailed her the Apple UG for that model, but I can barely decifer it myself, so a picture tut would really help. thx!!!

    hi
    depending on how complicated your shot is, you may be able to get away with simply placing the image within the frame on top of the background shot. Then resize down to fit. You may then need to tweak its corners using the corner pin tool to get it to sit in the right perspective plane. You may find you need to soften the edges of the top layer image so its not so sharp and hard. For this you probably would need to add a mask and soften its edges. Then you might need to add some noise and/or colour correction to make it sit naturally with the background image. and finally if there are any shadows cast over the picture frame you will need to add them back over the new image. You can use a black shape, with its opacity cranked down with a blur filter on it.
    The manual describes all of these process pretty well.
